" . . i To the New York Herald's ques tion, What are the qualities most essential to the development of the perfect man, Mr. George W.

The election of a new President will take plr.ee next June, at which time the resignation of Dr. Battle takes efl'ect. Every day it becomes more and more evident that the great Presi dential race of 1892 will be between Cleveland and Blaine. Cleveland will run on the essential principles of Democracy, while the Blaine canvass will be confined to recipro city. Heed's methods will be distinctly repudiated, and Harris onism ignored.

BEX- XISON'S LARGE (J1X AND OIL MILL BLOWS TO ATOMS. THE ENTIRE CITY SHAKEN. One Man Killed -Another Fatally In jured. FL1MES 'COMPLETE THE WRECK. Twenty minutes to 11 o'clock last night a tremendous report and crash, followed bp a whirring sound startled our citi zens both those awake and those bleep ing. Crowds rushed into the streets and it was soon learned that the 75 horse power boiler at Maj. A. R. Dennison's mill had exploded, demolishing the engine room, tearing out tho whole northern end of the mill, a portion out of the south end, scattering pieces of the machinery, large pieces of timber, brioks, stones, etc. ovor an area reach ing out a equare and a half from the mill. Investigation further showed thp.t one man was killed and another so badly scalded and crushed about the head that he will in all probability be dead by the time this account reaches our readers. The dead man could scarcely be recognized, but was said to be Geo. Moore, a fireman on one of the Govern ment derricks. The injured man was taken to J. W. Barren's saloon Where Dr. Frank Duffy rendered necessary assistance and he was then transferred to the police station. His name is Thomas Cordon and he was fireman at the mill. His horns is in James City. Groat masses of the ruica fell across the mil road track by the mill, so that considerable work will have to be doie before trains will be able to pass. About half an hour afterwards it was discovered that cotton inside the stand ing portion of the mill was on Ore and tho fire department was called out. Mr. Denmson, Mr. E. M. Pavie. chief of the firo department and about a dozen others had a narrow eaoape from being killed. As they were at work in side a cry was raised of fire at another point and they rushed out. Immediate ly, after what was left fell with a crash, and the mass of ruins were completely enveloped in flames. The fire department prevented the fire spreading to any other buildings. The loss is estimated at $20,000, Partial insurance. Pay of the Pasquotank Rifles, At duty's call the members of the Pasquotank Rifles promptly ceased their regular vocations and gave the State their services as long as they were required. This wai done patrioti cally, regardless of their preferences, to the neglect of their business rela tions, at a sacrifice to personal interests, and at the possible peril of their lives, For nine days they cruised over our waters and drove off invaders and transgressors of our laws. How were they remunerated for their faithful services? Each private received the magnificent (?) sum of 3 90 43k cents per day for the nine days work ! This is regular soldiers' pay, but is it justice to these gentlemen, who stepped to the front with such alacrity as de fenders of our right to let them be dis missed with such a pittance as this? Is it right ? Wo suppose that nearly every one composing the company were making three, four or five times as large an amount at home as they re ceived for their services, and it is said that some who were employees, re ceiving good wages, had them dooked by their employers, and we believe that if the members of the expedition had acted upon their inclinations, they would have remained at home attend ing to their business, even if there had been larger pay ia tho military service asked for. Reader, would not this have been the case with you ? Though these gentlemen did not per form this service for the sake of finan cial reward it was none the lees valu able. The pay of the officers therefor was satisfactory, but we hold that the privates also ought to have received fair remuneration. It existing laws present an obstaole to this, let our Legislature, now in session, pass a speoial bill making provision for the proper pay of such services. It is a time of peace, the country is prosperous, and the State is able to pay amply for the services of its citizens, and it is a reflec tion upon the State a shame and die grace for it not to do so.

Children CrJorPitcher'sCastori OYSTERS AGAIN. Mass Meeting in Washington-Resolu-tlons Passed, Our Washington correspondent writes us that on the evening of the 30th ult. a mass meeting was held in that place, called by the President of tho Indus trial Association, to decide to what course should be pursued relative to the late not concerning the oysters in North Carolina. Mr. D. N. Bog&rt read resolution. Mr. E. L. Simmons, after a glowing tribute to Hon. W. H. Lucas, urged the the adoption of the resolutions. That therefore we earnestly request our Senators. Messrs. W. 11. Lucas and W, R. Chessan, and our Representative, Mr. J, R. Galloway, to use every measure and influence at their command to hare a law enacted at, the present session of the General Assembly: 1. To prevent dredging within that part of Paraliso sound hereinafter de scribed. 2. That no one be allowed to catch oysters in any manner who are not residents of North Carolina, and no boat shall be licensed to dredge which is not owned in North Carolina, and no non-resident Bhall hold a mortgage or lien directly or indirectly on said boat. 3. That tonging be permitted from the first day of September to ths first day of May, and that dredging shall be per mitted within a limited area from the first day of November to tho first day of April. 4. That no boats shall be allowed to dredge except small boats, and that a tonnage tax be imposed . 5. That a police patrol boat be pro vided for the enforcement of the law. 6. That an appropriate culling law be adopted, and also the means of en forcing the same. 7. That a standard shell oyster meas ure be adopted, and that no oysters be allowed caught at night- Whereas, we have been re liably informed that the oystermen, or a largo majority of them, would be satisfied to permit dredging within the following described territory; and whereas the said territory comprises only the deep waters of a part of the sound whero it would bo impracticable tf tong for oysters. Now therefore we earnestly request that dredging be per mitted within that part of Pamlico sound included within the followine lines, viz: Beginning at the southern point of Run's Marsh, thence eastward- ly to the southern point of Judith's Island, and thence running eantwardly to the southward and eastward point of Great Island (the remainder is from memory), and thence to Northwest Point, thence to Point of Marsh, and thence to the mouth of Bay River, and to starting point. ino resolutions wero adopted by a large majority. The chairman was authorized to ap point a committeo of live or more to present the resolutions to the General Assembly. The-following is the com mittee, viz: D. N. Bogart, T. H. Blount, C. M. Brown, S. R. Fowle, J. H. Small, Ed. Long, R. H. Wharton, E. M. Short.R, T. Hodgea, and Dr. S. T. Nicholson. Good County Roads Cause Prosperity, The Norfolk Virginian sensibly dis cusses the road question. We give be low somo extracts therefrom. The remarks are as applicable to North Caro lina as to Virginia: The Virginian has directed attention to some of the failures as to home affairs, and there is health and prosperity in attention to the simple matter of country roads. Fifty years ago there was some excuse for bad roads, for our country was poor. Now that it is rich, there is no excuse. A good road is always to be desired. and a source of comfort and convenience to every traveler. Good roads attract population, as well as good schools and churches. Good roads improve the value of property, so that it is said a farm lying five miles from market, connected by a bad road, is of less value than an equally good farm lying ten miles away from market connected by a good road. A larger load can be drawn by one horse over a good road, than by two over a bad one. Good roads encourage the greater ex change of products and commodities between one section and another. Good roads are of great value to rail roads sb feeders. The one matter good country roads has as much influence in its bearing on the prosperity of the State as any other that could be presented or con sidered. This is fullv understood by our con temporary of the Petersburg Index- Appeal, who in a well-considered ar ticle, says that "the farmers of the East, and of the West, and of the North, who would like to live in this genial climate, but who have been ac customed to well kept highways of communication will be quiok to detect our shortcoming in this reepeot, and will hesitate long before they settle in a section handioapped by bad roadways. They will be apt to consider the diffi culties of marketing their products, the expenditure of horseflesh, and the nevet-oeasing burden of temporary re pairs of negleoted roads. It must for ever remain a matter of conjeoture as to how much we are indebted to these considerations for our spare and soat tered population, our waste lands, and for the general depression whioh has retarded Virginia's progress and kept her behind many of her sister States of the South that were greatly inferior to J sources." sszss Personal. Messrs. C. M. and B. F. Betts, large lumbermen of Philadelphia, are spend ing awhile in the city. Messrs. H- H. Gardner and E. J. Wood, prominent gentlemen from Chicago, are at the Albert Hotel.
