San Francisco Examiner. The Mississippi Republicans, acting under instructions from members of the Bepublican Na tional Committee, have decided to nominate a full State ticket to be voted for at the November election. The Convention is to be held at Jackson, Sept. 25. General James B. Chalmers, who has been a stand ing candidate for office since he entered the Republican fold, is credited with a desire to be nomi nated for Governor, but it is said there is much opposition to him among some of the colored leaders. As the Democrats will carry the gtate by at least 50,000 majority, t is immaterial to them who the Bepublicans set np to be knocked down. It Is believed those seeking places on tbe Bepublican ticket simply wish to gam standing with the Bepublican Administration at Washington. Baltimore Sun, LOCAL NEWS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

I the road at these poinu, and the facte Tn SiinflrlntnrlBnt Dill'. Anon Uttaral addreaeed to his Excellency, Gorernor Fowls, which have been referred to in these oolnmns before, he nrgea tbe Governor with great seal and impor tunity to reappoint Mr. Bryan Presi dent of the A. & N. C. Railroad. For all this ardor on the part of hia subordinate we are sure Mr. Bryan, ought to be, and is, no donbt duly grateful. The intrepid Superintendent advises the Governor to take thia road out of politics and make the manage ment a permanency, that is, to oontinue tbe present administration. Thia ia all very nice, but we imagine the Gover- or will regard it as a little presump- tioue. When Mr. Bryan, recently, before the Board of Appraisers, took occasion to deliver himself touching the future policy of this road, we .v:w i. . - . l. : .u.u uD eucu.UB ""-M ponthe prerogative of the Executive. I Mr. Dill is very boastful of his chief el cbeivements. lie holds him up 10 me puDiio gaze as a ventaoie inapo- leon of railroading, but how doea be establish these claims to superior man agement Does he give you the net earnings of the road Does he answer the oft repeated charge that the road is running behind; or doea be preeent any facts to show that the road is making money 'i Not a bit of it, but on the other hand he contents himself by insti tuting a comparison with Col. Whitf ord 'a management. Does Mr. Dill think be as shown a successful administration for Mr. Bryan when he proves that he did as well or even a little better than Col. Wbitford, the latter beginning as far back as 1880, the former in 1885 ? Who has said that Col. Whitf ord 'a ad ministration was especially brilliant, and has not Mr. Bryan and hia friends denounoed it both to our present Gov ernor and his predecesor as a total failure ? Under these circumstances this claim can be regarded aa but faint praise. It is to be presumed that Mr. Dill speaks with authority, and that he places his superior's olaima to skilful man a cram on fc nnnn what Mr Rrvan rtkm gards as the strongest (and a. no other argument is advanoed) and only grounds upon which it can be placed. Mr. Dill says the receipts for four years under Mr. Bryan are $50,000 in ezoess of those for a like period under Whit- ford ; but on the other hand the receipts under Whitford for the same four years were $74,000 in excess of those of the Drevious four years. Does this prove that Col. Whitford is a better railroad man than Mr. Bryan ? Certainly, if we follow Mr. Dill's line of argument it will lead us inevitably to that conolu aion. but if it is true, as claimed, that the receipts of this road have steadily increased, under both managements, ia not the real best of management to be found in the ratio of increase nnder each? This, we tbink, will be admit ted by every one to be not only the best, but the only fair test, by com parison. , What are the facts V Tbe receipts of the road in 1879, the year before Whit- fore took it were $4,6b9. In fourlgeveral times before he got the desired yeara be increased them to 121,3U1, Thu vo.r hfnr Mr. Rnmn tha ,., . ,i receipt were ii.oi, uu ' four years he increased tnem to S124.465. Tbe freight receipts the first! nr nnrlnr Hnl. Whitford M8801 weralOie. $55,892. and the last year (1885) they were $76,338. For the first year under Mr. Bryan they were (lose) $0l,uso, for the last year (that we have report of) U33BJ jioa.iKB. r rom an or wnion i will be seen, that the ratio of inorease unaer Wbitfora were many limes greater than under Bryan. It is true as claimed by Mr. Bryan that the small freights from the Smithfleld branch went to swell the receipts under Whit - ford, but that is merely an explanation of why they were so large, as themanv friends in New Berne who wish establishment of a teacher's assembly at Morehead, and the Fair atJTew Berne and the Colored Conference, is an ex planation of why Ms. Bryan's passenger reoeipts have increased. But in order to eliminate this question so as to pre sent in its foil force, the test , of , com- parison invoked by Mr. Dill, let ns take! three of the leading points on the road, Goldsboro, KInston and Hew Berne. There is vigorous competition at eaon of these points, indeed they are the. only places along the line where competition is active. Every Business, man will see at once, that the relative receipts from these stations ought to snow the tact and t efficiency of the two manage- ments. At all of these points the' freight re- 0;ipts undn Whitford in 1889 were greater than under Bryan in 1888..; (last year reported At Goldsboro i th on- rerence was small. At itineton tne re eejpts reu from, o,uuo.uu uo. nwa numbers) in vl885 to-14,000,00 (round numbers) in 1888. ;At Now Berhe the to $8,000, in 1883. It required ekill and - bOTe thow that Mr. Bryan WM not l"1 w reeponnbility " addition to thu, there ia a manifest unfairneaa in tbe method of comparison instituted by Mr. Dill. Why should he sandwich Best in between Col. Whitf ord ? Why not compare the four yeara immediate ly before Bryan, two under Beet and two under Wbitford, with Bryan's Uour? This would show the actual capacity of Mr. Bryan, and would show him behind. Surely fair minded men must agree that the figures should not be manipulated to put him ahead, unless be is actually so. We deaire to submit to the Governor and the public the following statement taken from tbe reports of Mr. Bryan for the yeara 1887 and 1888: 1S87. Total earnings 8117,038.09 Total operating expenses 108.157.17 Net earnings 10.880.92 xy, not Include any improve Imenta of any kind. This is below Whit- ford's net earnings and not sufficient to paT the interest ou the debt, 1888. Total earnings 8119,552.24 Total operating: expenses 99,568.77 NetearoiQRS 19,083 47 Thia doea not include improvements of any kind, and is not sufficient to pay interest on the debt of $855,000. These small balanoea explain why the Presi dent had to borrow $80,000 and will as he says "have to have outside help to run another season." It is honestly believed that examina tion will show the road in a "bad fix," and the statement of Mr. Dill shows nothing to tbs contrary. Mr. Dill claims the consideration of the public because the "through rates" have been reduced. Have they not been reduced everywhere in this country during the last five years, and has not experience shown that such reduction has resulted in an increase in business and receipts V Mr. Dill doea not say anything of re ductions in local rates, and is not this significant V Reductions in local rates would of course have to be made ex- .lu8ive.'y by th.e. 'ad nd lh.M.e .in through ratea might be made mainly by his connections The Raleigh News and Observer bas fallen Into an error which does the people of this section an injustice (urfi intentional, we are sure) It is far from correct as it says that the' shippers are ootent with Mr. Bryan, and on the con trary, we think we are safe in de claring that at least three-fourths of them are against his reappointment. One of our beat citizens has just return ed from a business trip through Craven and nearly all other adjacent counties and says that the people are almost unanimously opposed to Mr. Bryan as President. That they showed no special preference as to who should be the sue ceesor, but wanted Bryan out. It is true that Mr. Bryan has many letters from them to the Governor, but we bio re liably informed that he obtained a large ortion of them by personal importuni ties, for instance, we are told, he called at the store of a merchant in this town 1 letter, out mere is a limit to numan I endurance and the viotim yielded as tne news ana uneerver nas puo iighed two long artioles for Mr. Dill.we rescectfullv ask. in all fairness, to the 1 - ' - .

Hatteraa Shoals. We clip the following from the Wil mington Star, August 81: John Nelson, master of the schooner Cherubim, at Beaufort, N. C, calls the attention of coasting vessels bound to and from Southern ports to tbe faot that the inward diamond of Hatteraa shoals has flattened down either by washing away or sinking so that it no longer shows the jump-up breaker that has for many years marked the entrance to both tbe inward and outward slues across said shoals. By thia change Hatteraa shoals, he says, have beoome more dangerous than ever before, aa vessels bound across them and into Hatterae inlet have no guide whatever to mark the deep water. Hence for the safety of life and property it is very im portant that both the inward'and out ward slues across Hatteraa shoals should be buoyed before winter sets in. These buoys should not be placed on the shoals, but in the fairways of said slues on the northeast side, in seven fathoms for the inward and eight and a half fathoms of water for the out ward. On thesouthwest side the buoys should be placed in seven fathoms for the inward and and a half fathoms for the outward slue. ADVERTISEMENT An Uncouth Mayor. R. 1'.
