TO THE FISHERMEN.
Hon. Nat Il, Walker,
Crawfopivilie Fla.

Dear Sir; In reference to the mat
ter contained in your favors, ! beg
leave to submit tho following state
mont.
When the fish bill. known ~ the
Fuller Bill and now II portion of the
laws of the state, came before me for
Executive action you came into the
Executive ofiicehnd entered protest
against the bill, stating that it was un-
'qual in les operations, and hardship
apon agood many Of the people of your
county. | felt fully the force Of your
position, which you very earnestly pre-
,ented. My views however rs to Exec
alive powers prevented my vetong the
bill. Believing, as | do, that where
here is no constitutional objection tn a
bill which passes both Houses Of the
LegislatuH by n large majority, it is
not the duty of the Executive to inter-
pose his veto without some newly dis
covered facts that would have induced
he Legislature to vote otherwise had
hey known them, allowed the bill to
become law. There is no question
lowever, as tn your earnest opposition
u the bill, and your efforts in this Of
ice to induce me to veto the same.
. This much IN due to the facts of history
IN connection with the passage of that
law.
From those who have made thor
1ugh examination of the fish business
N Florida, il would seem to be the
part Of wisdom to have some local laws
PASSED by the next Legislature, appli-
cable to certain counties as il appears
hat law that is general throughout
he State, and which will protect the
nterests Of the extreme southern part
VI the state does not satisfy other Sec
ions. think the local option feature
" the fish bill will be brought before
The next Legislature and should the
,cople of your county desire any chang
in the provisions of this law then
viii be the time to act. | will take
.,easure in cooperating with them in
my manner that will advance their in
forests. Very Truly Yours,

TO THE VOTERS OF FLORIDA,
Dear Editori


AZ we are on the eye Of the election
Of the next Legislature, would like e.
speak through your valuable paper on Il
question of vital Importance to his en-
tire state, namely the fish law. That
men do legislate on questions they
know nothing OF, Is fact patent the
world over, that people do suife + by
their ignorance is more notable fact.
have grave doubts of the men vine
voted for this law knowing anything of
the nature Of the fish they tried to pro-
tect The great enemy 20 the mullet
Is not the fisherman. but small fish
which eat the spawn when il is no larg.
or than pin point.
The pig-fsh, sinner, and jack fish are
the worst enemies. A full grown null
let roe has over one hundred thousand
eggs, which il Matched and full grown,
would be over 800 barrels OF fish. That
is the average catch Of 80 fishermen for
the entire roe season 90 days. Now II
half dozen jack fish will devour that
spawn in one day, and come up smiling
next morning with stomachs as empty
Ms those legislators heads are OF brains.
Hence we see that one halfdozen small
fish will destroy as many in season rs
1900 fishermen will catch, which is
nearly equal to our entire force OF null
let fishermen.
How easy it would have been TO have
invited Il committee of fishermen t.
come up before this Honorable Ignor-
ant Body, and explain these facts to
them, but let me say right here, tn at
there is a vast difference between men
who fish and men who know the nature
Of fish, and probably there was few
of this former class to testify to some
they knew nothing Of. 1t would pay
an immense profit to call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature and repeal this
obnoxious law at once, but that will
not be done, we must suffer in silence
for another season, but let us be sure
that our next Legislators will be
pledged to repeal this law before we
vote for them. The damage to this
county alone last year cannot be est-
mated. The fishermen could not afford
tn fit out proper tackle for so short
season, hence the work was done with
Old and inferior nets, making the catch
very small. The fishermen were
thrown out Of employment for six
weeks at an idle season of the year, and
were too much discouraged To take up
their old nets and fiji out the short
time left before planting season.
/ invite discussion on this subject
knowing the facts have given will be
sustained by every man who knows the
nature of fish,
J. W. Farley.

WILL TAKE NO MORE RECRUITS.
Further Eniistments I'm the Fourth
Regiment Prohibited.

Captain Clarence Wyatt, who is 1 IN
charge of the recruiting detail which has
been in Virginia for several weeks en-
listing men for the Fourth Regiment,
received orders from the department yes
terday to receive no more recruits. He
and Lieutenant Couch will probably leave
for Habana to-day.
The order 10 enlist no more men was
a great disappointment to about sixty
members of the Richmond companies OF
the Second Regiment, who wished to
join the Fourth.
About 225 men rave recently been sent
20 the Fourth from among the discharged
members of the Second and Third regi-
ments. These were to fill vacancies oc-
casioned by deaths and discharges. The
total enlisted strength of the Fourth is
o about 200 men.
Captain Price and Captain Shanks are
still engaged on their accounts. They
have not yet forwarded any of the gov
ernmental property turned i'm by the Sc
cond and Third regiments. This will be
inspected. and so much as is not fit for
use will be sold at auction or burned.

A SCHOOL-BOOK CASE.
An Important Question tn BE De-
cided by judge Iefcbcr

a case Of great interest TO publlc-schoo
officials n certain publishers will come
up for trial befsre Judge S. Houston Let.
cher at a special term Of the Circuit Court
OF Rockingham, TO be held early next
week.
This case involves the right of a county
school board to reconsider its action after
it has adopted books for the public schools
ior a period OF four years.
The last General Assembly anacted a
law prohibiting county and CITY school
boards from changing the textbooks used
IN the public schools during the period OF
Iour years, for which the books had been
auopted. n Rockingham case involves
the construction of this act, about which
there seem TO be various opinions. MANY
contend that If the reconsideration IS had
before the books get into the hands Of the
pupils the law is not violated, as the oh
Ject or the law is TO protect the patrons
or the public schools from the expense
ihcldent to frequent changes of text
books.
Last August the Board Of School Tr,s-
tees or Rockingham adopted Frye's geo.
sraphles. Later on the board. having re-
assembled, reconsidered its former ac-
tion, and adopted Maury's geographies
Inc publishers of Frye's Biographies have
applied TO Judge Letcher for a mandamus
TO compel the school authorities of Rock
lhgham to use these books In the public
SCHOOLS or that county according TO the
first adoption.
Inc status of affairs in several counties
ana cities VIII be affected by the decision
III inc case as reconsideration was had
IN them before the State Board of Educa-
ton put a summary check TO the onera-
tons OF the book agents who were eoine
through the State working 10 secure a re-.
Of the adoption OF books wherever
a promising field could be found.
