Special Correspondence.
Beaufort. Jan 29. Mr John A. Roy
al, who has been here for several win
ters, came this year with his yacht
"Pilgrim, " specially built for fishing
off this coast. While a Ash boat "in
name, the " Pilgrim " is splendidly
built and handsomely finished. Mr,
Royal's first test in fishing has been to
anchor his yacht some 20 miles off Cape
Lookout point, and using cut mullet for
bait, finned for black fish (tautog.) Ac
a result some 400 of theie fish were
captured by this crew by hand line
fishing; This was done in 13 fathoms,
where a hard, shelly reef was found,
the favorite feeding ground of this
fish.
The Merrit & Chnp-nan Wrecking
Co's barge 'Haggwty,' arrived in Nor
folk January 27th with 221 bales of cot

The large Norfolk is also on the way
up the coast with 2,175 more bales
from this steamer.

t never came to a vote in the Senate,
The same fate may easily await it
again in the upper chamber of Con

are of the opinion that the principle,
like that of Federal aid in the improve

Tbat the Norfolk-Southern Is going
right ahead with the work of extending
its lines was evidenced by Colonel W
0. Rodman, general solicitor for the
systmn, when be stated to the board of
aldermen several days ago that tbre
surveying parties were now In the Bld
between Raleigh and Troy, and that an
effort would be made to organlte thre
more and put thm to work at once be
tween Troy and Concord. He ed)d
tbat the gape between the several read
recrntly acquired would be tilled In as
qoickly as possible In erdr that the
terminal extensions might be poshed
on westward e rapidly as possible.
With ample backing, there is little
question but tbat Ibe Norfolk-Boolhetn

READY CASH.
A savings account with this strong bank is as good as
ready cash because it may be drawn against at ar y time
should an emergency arise; the advantage over keeping the
actual money at home is that it is not liable to loss by tire or
theft and is earning 4 per cent compound interest.
This bank welcomes accounts of One Dollar or more in
its Savings Department. Checking accounts aie also inviied
in small as well as large amounts. Courtesy and promptness
- at all times are important details of our service.
