Here and there are seen merry bathers sporting on the briny billows of the deep. He pauses on the margin of the dock, he breathes the salty air and a smile plays about his Between those half parted lips is the ever present and the blue puff of smoke plays about his features as he poses for a leap.

Editor As the time is drawing near primaries and county conventions to be called for the selection of dates to the various offices of Pitt county and also a legislative tie-ct. I therefore leg your indulgence for a few unsolicited remarks in of L. W. Tucker for sheriff. He is a young man of high and of a great business capacity, which his public career of the past four or five years abundantly proves, and stands without contradiction. Some may say that he is rather young to shoulder the responsibilities of the office of high Sheriff of Pitt county, but I declare unto you, that it is not right, adequate, or just, that a man ho by the height of his ambition, ski and self has reached the goal of maturity in physical, mental and business ties earlier than the average man, that he should be haltered and tied, so to speak, his inferiors might reach his equal. On the contrary, Mr. Editor and friends, I do say and verily believe, that a man of such eminent and broad business qualifications as Mr. Tucker, having served the office of sheriff as deputy for four or five years with such a marked degree of success, makes him throughly competent and to serve the office itself to the entire satisfaction of the people of Pitt county, thereby be honored himself and an honor to Pitt And when the Democratic county convention is called upon to name a date for sheriff. I believe the people will be glad to show him the honor of rise- as a unit and with one accord say, nominate L. W. Tucker by acclamation. M. T. Colonel W. H. Chapman, of the Internal Service, with headquarters at Greensboro, a man of approved character, expressed to our Raleigh correspondent the fear is on the increase, and complains that county officers doing so little to enforce the Watts law, leaving the execution of liquor laws to the Federal ties, who last month captured forty illicit an increase of eight over the preceding month It seems that the county authorities through the state have taken no in- in the enforcement of the Watts law, and yet it is a State stat- and it the business of the local officials to it. If the were as indifferent as those of the counties, the liquor laws would be defied and trampled under foot from one end of the State to the other, It i tote hoped that the Chapman will awaken them to a sense of their Observer.
