Offlce-eeekera than members.
Just a predicted, the senatorial con

rather warm features.
The Overman men are sure they are
in the lead on the first ballot. Borne
were willing to give odd. Craig's peo
ple now say they will take those qdds.
AU the aspirants are afraid of what they
term complimentary votes that 1 that
men who vote for them on the first bal
lot will ohange on the second. Jnllan S
Carr arrived today. It 1 asserted that
the vote for him on first ballot will be
larger than expected.
Very few convicts are now arriving at
the penitentiary, bat two arrived today;
a horse thief from Burke and a murderer
from Lincoln.

men were glad to get 26 cent a bushel.
There are 5 canneries in operation; two
In Carteret and 8 in Pasquotank county.
He says the oyster law is enforced a
well as expected. It la net so strict and
so good a the Virginia law. The "oys

and vessels. In Virginia oystermen can
carry no weapon other than a 18 gauge
shot gun with No. 4 shot. The oyster
patrol boat Lily is not in commission,
but Is laid up at Washington. A gaso
line burning boat and two schooners are
in use and compose the active oyster
navy. They are less expensive than the
Lily.
