Except when overflowed in
a rainy season, there is often
in the smaller ‘bays’ no per

ones a small streamlet usually
rises. When cleared for culti

dig a ditch to the nearest stream

Other duties prevented my
mapping the large ‘bays’ that
occur. ~to see what rela
tiooship, if any, could be discov
ered from their position. They
seem to be scattered irregularly
over the flat surface, some
nearer the present coast than
others. Whether they arrange
themselves along certain lines
I cannot say.
By some the sand ridges are
attributed to wind action
This, however, would require a
region free of .vegetation, and
we do not know that this one
ever was so over any broad area.
Besides, the wind would pile the
dunes on other sides of the
‘bays’ than the east and south*
east, unless it blew away from
the east or southeast—a suppo
sition of which no proof can be
given. Finally, wind action is
insufficient to account for the
bases of the sand ridges extend
ing beneath the general surface
of the adjacent sands and
clays.
From an examination of the
Coast Burvey charts of the
Albemarle and Pamlico Bound
region, I was at first led to con
clude that I had. in the ‘bays’
the rueult of numerous repeti
tions on a smaller scale of what
is now going on in these sounds
—the difference in the «t*< of
the bodies compared being
great, but their agreement in
process being strong. Each
sound is a drowned valley with
a bottom 15 to 25 feet deep at
most and, being cut off from
the ocean by the send bar
thrown across its mouth, they
are slowly silting up with the
very fine material brought down
by the sluggish streams that
empty into them. If present
conditions continue long enough
they will be filled with a fine,
compact clay, and are already
skirted on the southeast and east
byasand dune. There is att appar
ent analogy. The former sea
where Darlington now stands—
though deep shortly before this
from frhe thick beds of fuller’s
earth which must have been
veryjrently deposited far fro
shore sands—was shallow, as
shown by the marl deposits near

Advertising on • Fence.
While riding near a neigh
boring town, says the Dansville
(N. Y.) Breete, we saw on a
fence board a sign .that read:
“Buy a pair of *8 85 cent
pants.” In the dim vista of on
coming years, when the pants
are all gone and the foolish
merchant that advertised them
has passed to the great beyond,
where 85 cent pants are not in
it, that fence-board will still
mutely testify to the fact that
the only place to advertise is in
the columns of thene wspaper.
where you can stop the adver
tisemont when the goods are
gone, without having to steal
and burn a farmer’s fence
board.
