Another Letter ON Sailing the
BAY by Cutting an Inlet.

HessfS Edttors We ask for space in
your valuable pape in which 10 bring
again before the people Of this county.
the important subject OF cutting the pro
posed inlet from the Atlantic Ocean TO
our bay
saw in the last issue of the MEssEN
GER letter from Mr.. { ;. Capper, who
sees and explains the necessity of cutting
this inlet which will make Worcester
county the most independent county, ii
nancially, in the State. The people should
join aud help the cause along, rs their
condition will be considerably bcttered
owing to the money which must come
with an ineXhaustable supply of oysters,
CLANS. fish and wild fowl.
Look from 1868 To 1881 and 1882. what
an FISHERMAN could make by longing on
the natural rocks in our bay From five
to twenty dollars have been easily made.
and often much more, of which ample
proof can be given to-day. Mr. a. w.
Child civil engineer of this place, pro-
posed TO go. with other parties, to the
/ point where we propose To cut the said
| inlet. and to measure the length and
depth which will have TO be cut, and the
number Of square yards of earth which
will have TO be removed; then some esti-
mate as 10 the cost of the work can be
given
! think that rs Snow Hill is central and
opposite where we propose to cut said
inlet, a suitable person should be appoint
ed by that district 10 have the power of
calling meetings in all public places in
the county; said meetings 10 be held for
the purpose of talking the matter over
and appointing committees at each meet
ing, instructing them in writing. regard
ing the opinions of those present. Then
lhere should be meeting Of these various
committees at some convenient place for
the purpose of taking final action in the
matter.
As it will require some cash to start the
work, we have petition signed by the
oystermen and Others, asking that the Ii
cense money be applied to the cutting OF
this said inlet instead of using 1t 10 plant
the county oysters. II does little good
invested as ii is. owing to the fresh and
stagnant waters of our bay. This change
can be made by the present Legislature.
As we do not wish TO slight anybody and
il may not be convenient for everybody
to join IN the work. such persons may
subscribe in cash what they are willing to
give Some PROVISION should be made to
iced the people ut work, also place in
which they can sleep. Anyone who will
look hack ten years will see tina, change

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

SNOW HILL. Nh. February ~
II is quite cheering and encouraging
TOO in these DAYS Of political intidelity To
preceiye an occasional glimpse of honest
integrity and conscientious work ON the
part OF our w-makers and representa-
tives, either in the nation or State cham
bers. But such representative has
Worcester County, in the State Senate,
in the person of John Walter Smith, Esq.
Of our town. And perhaps no less integ
rity is displayed by the other gentlemen
who represent us in the other branch OF
Legislature.
We do not intend 10 bcstow ON Mr..
Smith hollow aud meaningless en-
conium, for we would regard such a
thing rs belittling to his manhood, and
offensive to such u character. We regard
il the duty of every man, however hum
bic his position in society may be, TO
show some degree of appreciation of the
efforts of man who is trying to advance
the interest of his fellow citizens; and
certainly such an effort is Senator Smith
making for us when he champions a bin
to give free school books TO the children
of our State.
For twenty five or more years we have
been favored with fIee school system,
but throughout all those years the system
has been embarrassed 10 greater or less
extent. in consequence of the utter ina
bility Of large portion of our people to
buy books SO as to keep their children in

served the matter closely) champ
toned with independent and heroic deter
mination bill like this one. We are
fully aware that two or three sickly
weak, spasmodic attempts have been
made but they were not characterized by
the hearty earnest efforts of Col. Smith
The whole matter appears 10 be as self
apparent To Mr.. Smith rs il is 10 those
who are its direct sufferers. II has al.
ways nttn u sOuItt vi ~ It's
and especially So now AS we view it IN
the experience of twenty-five years We
can see i, in no other light but in that OF
a stupenduous mistake Of our law makers
Indeed 10 us II is an inexcusable blundeI
Of the age, To US il is an absurd system
of economies in the state To estimate the
educating of our youth by dollars and
cents because our educational basis
would, in the end, SO far outweigh even
in material wealth 10 say nothing of its
moral prepondence that every other con
sideration would sink into comparative
insignificance. Hence Senator Smiths
characteristic energy and earnestncss 10
cxpend money where he knows it will re-
turn the greatest amount of interest.
Therefore we think every citizen of the
state as well as those of his own county
should be proud to hold up the hands OF
such representatives as Hon. .Jno. Walter
Smith aud his colleagues J. j. ID.
