THE OYSTER SUPPLY.
A Fish and Oysterman Talks
Of the Rapid Destruction of
Oyster Beds.

81 was pleased to see in The
News of this morning." said an
experienced fish and oyster
man to a News reporter yester-
day, "a statement of the rapid
destruction of the natural oys-
ter beds in Galveston bay. The
warning comes none too soon,
for if something is not done the
Texas oyster will, like the buf-
falo and dodo, soon become ex-
tinct. Dependence upon cult. :
walton with the present laws,
although adequate, practically
Imperative. is futile. As your
informant truly states, the stat
ute books are loaded down
with laws which, through lack
Of proper provision for enforce
inert are valueless. To appeal
to the fishermen to properly
Gull their catch, and thus pro-
tect the beds, is as valuable as
to appeal to the farmer to raise
less cotton. The only way to
stop the evil is to devise means
to enforce the law. The bills
put before the Legislature by
Mr.. Mitchell of Victoria, while
defective in some respects,
would certainly overcome the
principal obstacle. Their sal
tent features are the creation
Of the Office of fish and oyster
commissioner and the licensing
Of all boats and implements.
1t would become the interest of
some one to see that the laws
were obeyed, and not as now,
where, as it is everybody's bus
mess, it is nobody's business.
Not only the natural beds
would be protected, but cult
walton would be stimulated
But not only our oyster, but
our fish supply is becoming a
thing of the past. This is due
to the very same reason-the
destruction of the young of our
marketable fish and also the
food upon which they feed. 1t
is no uncommon sight to wit ;
ness upon our beach as much
as 100 tons of small fish left to {
rot in the sun. This evil pre- )
7ails to a still greater degree in I
lhe bays Of Mategorda, Corpus
Christi, etc. Again, the dia- >
nond back terrapip, once so !
plentiful that I have seen Red. e

ion in the breeding season, so In
scarce now that1t will hardly In

'rlce is very much advanced.
Not content with taking the D,
ull grown animals when ready B Bi
o lay, they have taken the ca.

The great editor, Horace Greely,
once said: It's strange how closely
men read the papers. We meyer say
anything men don't like but we soon
hear Of it and every one tells us of it.
If, however, we say a good thing, we
never hear of it-nobody seems to
notice it. We may pay some man
a hundred compliments and give
him dozen puffs and he takes it as
tribute to his greatness-never
thinks it does him any good. But
if we say anything a man does not
like, or something he imagines re-
fleets on his character, see how
quickly he fires up and gets excited
about 1t. All our evils are charged
to US, but we never apparently get
any credit for the good we do.

How 1t Happened.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch of
Sunday printed three column illus.
trated article regarding Senator
George G. Vest. from which the
following is taken:
Coming to Missouri stranger.
settling at Georgetown, a young man
OF %, under the adverse eircumstan-
ces OF having to brave public opinion
at the very outset Of his career, he
attracted attention at once, and his
party soon began to shower honors
upon him
His settling at Georgetown, or in
Missouri at all, was due to accident
and tragic incident which was the
outgrowth Of it. It was in 1853 and
the far west was still enjoying lis
early reputation as an ElDorado coz.
sequent on the 40 ElDorado move
ment.
The young lawyer shortly after
graduating left Kentucky to seek
his fortune in California. This was
before the day of transcontinental
railroad and the journey had to be
made overland. At Georgetown, No,
he was detained by an accident to
his coach.
AT that place a negro was
charged with numbering a white wo
man and her two children Mr.. Vest
was engaged by the negro's owner,
man named France, to defend him.
He succeeded in clearing his client,
but mob set the verdict aside. The
mob held the county under the rule
of vigilance committee for two
weeks, and then publicly burned the
prisoner in the presence of $50 ne,
groes brought there to profit by the
object lesson. Young Vest was then
threatened for having defended the
negro, a dangerous undertaking in
those days. He could have continued
his journey without molestation, he
was a stranger, and the opinion Of
the people of Georgetown was moth
ing to him, but the threats caused
him to change his plans. He decid
ed to remain aud face the results
and thus he became n citizen O
