Important Oyster Bills in the State
Senate.

Richmond Va, Jan. 29.-The most
important measures concerning pro.
posed oyster legislation introduced
this session were two bills in the
Senate today by Mr.. Keezell, OF
Rockingham. These contemplate
carrying out scheme long discussed
and which has the Endorsement OF
Capt. L. j. H Baylor, who made the
survey of the Virginia oyster grounds,
and other experts. These bills are
intended to foster and encourage oys-
ter culture in the Chesapeake bay,
the first one being that the area OF
the Chesapeake bay proper, which is
more than two statute miles from
mean low-water mark, and is not
embraced in the survey of natural
oyster beds and rocks made under
acts of 1924, may be occupied fol-
the purpose of the planting or pro-
pagation of oysters thereon by any
person or persons. AS the law now
stands the oyster grounds may only
be rented by residents of Virginia
Mr.. Keezell proposes to throw open
the Chesapeake bottoms to the
world.
The other bill provides that any
person renting one hundred or more
acres of land from the State of Vir
GINA for the purpose of planting OIL
propagating oysters thereon may be
authorized to own and run one OF
more steamers for the purpose Of
dredging and cultivating oysters
Such persons are to forfeit $4,000 anC
their boats and outfits if convicted Of
dredging any of the natural rocks Of
the State.

Big Oyster Shell.

An extraordinary oyster shell is
owned by a Portland man, says the
Boston Herald 1t is almost two feet
in length, and one and half feet IN
width. The shell is very rough on
the outside. and white and smooth
and beautiful on the inside. 1t is at
least three inches thick in the center
portion and is very massive and
heavy. 1t tips the scales AT thirty
seven pounds. Of course, the two
halves of the shell would weigh at
least twice that, or seventy four
pounds. These huge oyster shells
we're brought to Portland in the five
masted schooner Governor Ames, on
the occasion of her last visit here
some years ago. The oyster was Sc
cured alive in Japan, and made stew
that was more than enough for the
whole crew of eight men. The whole
oyster when alive weighed eighty
two pounds. Leaving out the seventy
four pounds for the shells, and there
is eight pounds that the oyster itself
must have weighed.

The question now before our Legis-
lature attracting more attention, per-
haps. than any other, is, whether a
bill shall pass that body, prohibiting
gambling in the State. A bill to that
effect has had setback in the COM
mittee to which it was referred, the
majority vote being in favor of sub
stitute offered, which prohibits gam
bling only during the winter months.
In other words the conclusion ar
rived at practically was, that it was
right to gamble during certain days
of the year but not during the entire
year-that gambling is an evil which
good morals do not warrant and pro
Guctive OF crime, but which deserves
encouragement in the interest of
agricultural fairs and breeders OF
horses. The question now is to be
passed upon by the Legislature, and
will. it is stated, pass the House, but
be defeated in the Senate, contrary
to the wishes of the people through
out the Commonwealth. The Solons
of the Senate, if the statement is
correct. will have their way now, but
if we mistake not the signs of the
times, the people will be heard from
later in a way that will cause them
to regret that they would not listen
to the warnings of their constituents.

ing was to name dates for the coming

active and vigorous presidential cam.
paign in Virginia formed part OF

prominent Virginia republicans pre-
sent, there being in all about a
hundred. a committee was appointed

dam is Nettleleaf, with four year
old record of 2.23. DR.. Sprecker is
bred very closely to Alix and the two
fastest two year olds of the season of
1895, Ananias and Tommy Briton.
The terms of the sale were not stated,
but were up in the thousands.
The horse brought So 900 as wean

Mr.. Blackstone was once chairman
of the Senate Committee for courts
of justice, and showed conspicuous
ability in dealing with various legal
questions before that body. He is
not yet forty years of age.-Free

His ability to fill the position will
not be questioned by anyone, and it
seems in accord with the fitness of
things, to have the position filled by
man from the banner Democratic
county of the State. Accomac being
at the head of the list on roll call of
the counties, will lead off for him, if
he should be candidate.

Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
c.. H., Va, as second-class matter.

a bill introduced in the Legislature
of Virginia, looking to the enlarge
ment of the privileges of the railroad
companies of the State, has aroused a
feeling of indignation in some sec
tions of this part of the Common
wealth, which seems to indicate that
there will be some statesmen out Of
a job who are now supporting the
measure, when the people are again
heard from at the polls. That a bill
should be introduced in the Legisla.
ture and supported by them, per
uniting railroad companies to OBJ
struct crossing for five minutes I'M
less some one demands that it shall
be cleared"-a privilege denied to the
citizens is beyond their com
prehension, and our Legislature
may take our word for it, that the
mutterings now heard are but the
precursors of a storm which will
break upon them in all its fury when
they return home to give an account
of their stewardship. Enlarge the
privileges of railroad companies :
for what reason? Have they not
already encroached sufficiently upon
the rights of the people? The an
swer TO the queries will be given by
our representatives, and we merely
suggest, that the wishes of the
people, whose servants they are,
ought TO be considered, perhaps, in
the matter.

4 Matter of Opinion.

A gentleman was greatly surprised
and pleased the other day at the
reply a lady gave to the question :
"Do you plant Vick's Seeds ?n Her
answer was II always plant Wick S
seeds in the front yard, but we get
cheap seeds in the back yard, which
| know is mistake"
1t pays to plant good seeds, and we
advise our friends who are thinking
of doing anything in this line to send
10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide for
1896 This amount may be deducted
from the first order. James Vick's
Sons, Rochester, n. Y, are the pio
neers in this line.
