CARPIN SOUTHERN WATERS.
what United states Commits
siOner Baird is Doing for
Their Propagation.

In q conversation Tuesday, respec-
ting the work of the Fish Commission
Prof. Baird said that he is now enga-
ged in distributing the German carp
as widely as possible throughout the
United States. Shipments have al
ready been made to Kentucky and
Missouri. The Commission has on
hand about $1,000 young carp for
distributing this year, a number quite
inadequate to supply the many
calls which have been received
from all over the South. In describ-
ing the improved or German carp,
Prof. Baird said that it bears about
the same relation to the ordinary En-
glish carp that a North Carolina "pine
woods" pig does to Berkshire pig.
In Germany the carp is esteemed as
highly as the trout, and sells for the
same price in the market. The first
successful introduction of these fish
took place about three years ago. The
experiment of breeding and raising
them in the pond where they were
placed has been perfectly successful,
the fecundity and rapid growth Of the
fish having been quite remarkable.
Specimens Matched This year have al
ready attained length of several
inches. The habits Of the carp-it
lives on vegetable food and thrives
best in warm water-make it pecu-
liarly suitable for the South, and its
qualities as a food fish will give it u
high value in this section.

Editor Dcmocrat-Star:
Somebody at Gainesville is try
ing to use the Seashoro papers to
boost and blow certain candidates
Tor Office in Hancock. The letter
sent to the Se&shore Gd@ctte was re-
jccted, SO lar as it INDUCED in
"gasSiug,' and only a harmless
paragraph OF compliment was pub
tIshcd OF one candidate for sheriff.

Nh Leslie anl HI. Poscy are both
candidates on "cheiT own hook"
and on such merits as they respect
ivciy possess, / protest against the
untairness of any newspaper be-
ing used to help either candidate.
i therefore claim, as an act of JUS
tiCc, that since you have published
the opinion or guess Of the Gaines
vile man that you publish also
what other people say and believe
on the subject. That opinion, which
has been carefully collected from "a
variety OF sources, and from all
parts OF the county, and which is
as reliable as election news can be,
is that Mr.. Leslie will be badly de,
teated. 1t. is a notorious fact that
he cannot carry his own precinct

his own n%eighbOrs aud relations are
against him. If your Gainesville
correspondent will step'over to the
store of q. w. Hollcman. who is
one OF Mr., Leslie's strongest sup
pOrterS, he can get the truth about
the lamacraw precinct. The YER
dict OF "the jury of the yicinagen
upon mans merits is generally ac.
cepted as conclusive. If a candi-
date has no strength at home he is
certainly in a bad way.
Last week a division was at
tempted at Bay st. Louis and
Pennington, to help. Mr. Leslie by
bringing out a colored man at one
or both these places, to split the
now nearly unanimous vote of
