On Monlay the Justices of the county met with the County Commissioners at the court house for the purpose of elect ing County Commissioners, County Superintendent of Public Instructions and to levy taxes. There were forty- five Justices present, nearly every one in the county. -' The Board was called to order by W. G. Brinson, Esq., and a little wrangle ensued as to who should, preside, when, after an appeal from Justice Wm. Hay, for harmony, Justice 4 W, M. Watson was elected chairman; ' ; Mr. Watson took the chair and an nounced that the first business would be the hearing of the report of the county commissioners. . Justice Wm. Foy moved that the re port be read. Jus as the motion was beir put Justice Brinson asked to be heard. The motion was carried and the chair decided that Mr. Brinson arose too late. The chairman of the county cc mmis sioners, Mr. Jas A. Bryan, arose to read the report. ... Commissioner Brinson protested against the reading of the report, stating that it was not a report of the county commissioners, but a report of Mr. Bryan - -; Mr. Bryan, before . beginning the reading of the report, stated that Com' missioners Biddle and Latham had heard the report and signed it, and that Commissioners Brinson and Mallison had been asked to examine, and that he as chairman of the Board would 6ubmit it. He then proceeded to read the report which was a very clear and elaborate statement of the condition of the affairs of the county. We propose to make ex: tracts from it in future issues as it con tains matters of interest to the people of Craven county, Justice Foy moved that the report be adopted. ' - Justice Hay moved to amend that por tion of the report relative to levying of taxes for the ensuing year by striking out five dollars on . billiard tables and bowling alleys and inserting' ten. ? The amendment was not agreed to. The report was then adopted without a dissenting voice. The chair announced that the next business was the election of a board of commissioners,- f',. Justice Hay arose and spoke in com plimentary terms of the old board and hoped thoy would be re-elected, as the report showed they had done their duty, He moved to elect by aclamation The motion was adopted.. He then moved that Jas. A. Bryan W. G. Brinson, S. W. Latham, Jas. W, Biddle and Thos. H. Mallison be elected commissioners for the next two years. The motion was adopted. Messrs. C. E. Foy, L. H. Cutler and W. B. Lane were elected auditing com mittee. Mr. Bryan came forward and thanked the justices for the renewed confidence reposed in the former board, and re minded them that they had not yet com pleted their duties, as they were re quired to elect a county superintendent of publifi instructions. :; ,v.J- On motion of Justice Brinson, the present incumbent, John S. Long, Esq. was unanimously re-elected. The meeting" adjourned. J Although there was a' little breeze at the opening of the meeting yet as whole it wasJiarmonious, and the num ber of justices present is an indication that they are watching the interest of the County as it becomes, their duty as magistrates. Oneof the most gratifying olauses in the report of the commission ers is that in reference to the levying of taxes for the present year.

The season for crops for the past two or three weeks has been all that the farmer could ask for. except the oold Thursday, Thursday night and Friday morning was com enougn to save pork. The woret of it all is it is so favorable to the bugs; it checks the growth of corn and the bugs play a full band. They are beyond doubt the most destructive that they ever were.- Many farmers are planting peas where their corn is de stroyed, and if they were to plant the Soyo or Japan pea, I am sure they would ! . j i j.1 a, -ii gniu a grout uctu uiuio uiaa uiey will, for my experience is that no insect troubles them while growing except the striped potato bug, and no weavel ever troubles the pea, and from the State Geologist's analysis, are far morenu tritious than corn or common field peas or any other grain, and stock of all kinds are very fond of them.

The other points mainly to be considered, and which are the most desirable, are durability, rapidity, capacity for work, ease of operation, regularity of motion, uni formity oi tension, and silence while in operation.
