OUR OYSTER LAW.

We have always advocated the
protection OF our oyster beds al Tar
ms possible within The bounds OF
reason and local jurisdiction. The
law has heretofore been too weak
or too narrow for accomplishing
the desired results, but the present
law strikes us rs being too broad
for practical purposes. For IN
stance, carrying oysters into ad-
Joining State for planting purposes
is prohibited. That Is tantamount
to debating TO an individual,
whether Il citizen or a nonresident,
what he shall do with his private
property, and that beyond the
limits of the State. If the Otfense
is not committed in the catching,
the catch becomes private property
and is a merchantable article, sub
lect to be sold TO w~homsoever will
buy, and the purchaser can certain
" do MS he pleases with his pur-
chases, and it would be ridiculous
to try TO hold the seller responsible
for that disposition, although he
knew the intentions of the pur-
chaser when he sold. 1t is just as
absurd to say that the catcher,
alter he has caught, shall not put
his catch back into the water, even
at a point outside the State,
whether it be intended as a plant
or temporary storage.
Now this clause was intended to
prevent our oyster reefs being de-
stroyed in planting beds outside
of the State and d~eprivlng our
citizens of them. There is no
doubt evils intended to be re-
NEEDED, but we assert now that
the remedy will prove Intellectual
and is absurd OH its face, If not un
constitutional and void as an exer'
else of jurisdiction over property
that is common to all the worlo
when in the water and private
property when captured. 1t is very
different from the exercise of police
power in regulating the time and
manner of fishing.
But considering the law to b'
correct, its evasion is the easiest
matter in the world. The oysters
can be easily taken from the beds
transported into another State ant
planted to an unlimited extern
without violating the law. lgno
rance of the law does not excuse
but ignorance of fact does. Ii
catcher puts his oysters down foI
his purchaser.
We already have too many i'm
perative laws, but still they multi
ply.

TAG dashing widow, Mrs. S. @.
Maer, of the Columbus DispGtchr
attended the Press Convention at
Grenada and thusly she speaks oil
the convention and we lords oil
creation /:
The conventions are a necessity
of the present age, in uniting the
members ofthe newspaper fratern-
ity into a body to formulate laws
that protect each other by rules
and regulations and to make i'm
portant changes. Old and expert
enced editors make useful and
practical suggestions, and give
sound advice to their less expert
enced brethren. Then too, it Is
pleasant 10 notice that the meeting
improves the relations of the
members of the press toward each
other. One cannot but observe The
uniform courtesy and general for.
bearance practiced and cultivated
when together. This must neces-
ssrily dIspel much of the personal
dislike and bitterness at present
existing between many editors in
the.State. These editors r a fine
looking body of intellectual men,
as good aud honorable az men gem
orally are-not Que Of them would
ever pass for an angel-but then
no rational woman would ever look
for an angel among men In these
degenerate days.

THE NEGRO NOT WANTED IN BRA.
zIL.-It is plain enough that the
North American negro is not want
ed in Brazil. The people OF that
country are just now wrestling
with the complex and difficult
problem of emancipating their
own slaves, and they may be eX-
cused for an apparent unwilling
ness 10 undertake additional re-
| sponsibilities in the premises. 1t
is quite as plain that the American
negroes have no desire to leave
the country where the greatest
number ofthem are settled. They
are shrewd enough to know when
they are we'll off and have no idea
of undertaking any wild schemes
OF COLONIZATION and self-deportation
TO far-away lands over seas. The
only obstacle in the way of the
prosperity Of the negro as Il free
man and a citizen is the pernicions
operation of sectional politics and
some alleged religious journal
whose real mission Is to mar the
d estiny OF the negro and to incite
him to social disorder and chronic
discomfort. Despite these baneful
influences the negro is making
commendable progress in prosper
ty and reopectab;lity, and we trust
he will outgrow the demagOgues
and the preachers OF unrighteous-
ness. The sooner the better for
him.-N. 0. Picdyune.

A FEW years ago 1t was thought
impossible to entertain a Press Con-
Vention 6ithout a bounteous flow
of champagne and other IntOxi-

a great change in this respect. No
wine or anything of an intoxicating

OFFICER WRIGHT INJURED
While Aiding Another officer to
Make an Arrest.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Wright of
the Humane Society was assaulted by q
man by the name of James Fitzgerald.
Officer Phealen came upon three men en-
gagged in some sort of row at the corner
of Third and Main. He undertook to
arrest them and summoned Wright to
his aid. The latter is a man Ct small
stature and considerably advanced in
years. He does not do regular service
on the force but takes charge of cases for
the Humane Society and the Associated
Charities. He put his hand on the arm
of Fitzgerald and it is stated he was in
stantly knocked down by blow in the
face. His head struck upon the sidewalk
and was badly cut and when his brother
officer started to pick him up he was
senseless. The patrol wagon was sum-
moned and Wright was conveyed to the
station while couple of by-standers
chased his assailant half mile through
alleys and vacant lots until they managed
to capture him. He was booked for
assault and battery. Mr.. Wright sus-
tanned considerable shock from which
he may not recover for several days, and
the Humane Society for which he has
been doing active and praisworthy work
will find their operations at standstill.
