are thoughtfully considering the question
of an exatioa. They admit chat there
must be some sort of an arrangement be-

future that will bind them more closely
together. Senator Ha npton is an observer
aud his views on this and other questions
are valuable.

Make the Law Effective.

In the original Oemler oyster bill there
was clause providing for the appointment
of AMI lspector of the oyster fisheries. This
clause is not in the substitute. liz is said
that it was left out in order to lessen oppo-
sition to the bill. But if it is the purpose TO
enforce the substitute, if it should become a
law, why should this clause relative TO an
| inspector have been left out of it,
One trouble with the present oyster laws
Is that they are not enforced If another
law is enacted, it is doubtful if it will be
enforced unless it is made the duty of some
one to SEQ that it is enforced. A few finan-
ciaily strong oyster pla lters may be able to
enforce their rights under the law, but how
will it be with those who are not able To
keep watch upon their oyster beds or to
defend their property In the courts! They
VIII be at the mercy Of oyster thieves, and
as a result they will soon become discour-
aged aud abandoJ the cultivation Of oys-
ters
Those who agreed to permit the clause of
the original bill relating to an inspector to
be left out Of the substitute seem to have
the idea that an oyster law is needed for the
truth Is that the purpose of the law ought
to be to encourage the cultivation of oys-
ters so that the oyster business
Of the state would become
great and profitable one The
colored people who live in the vicinity of
va ers in which oysters can be cultivated
ought to be encouraged 10 engage in oyster
farming. They should have all the pro-
lection which the state co Id afford them.
They should be made to feel that their little
oyster patches were as safe from thieves as
the holdings Of those who have hundreds of
acres in cultivation
Very little progress will be made in
oyster culture as long as there is feeling
OF insecurity connected with it. II the
late desires to build up a great oyster in
dustry 1T should provide such means to pro-
tect it as experience in other states has
proven to be necessary

The head was crushed and the skull
actually split into two pieces, The body
looked as II 1t had been jumped upon by

trunk were almost all broken. The
little ribs were crushed into the flesh,
and the puny body was limp, there
being no whole bones to support its
