eEn waters or at least to the fish which finds
It's way TO city tables. But there is lacking one

that the deficiency counterbalanees all the ad-
Naniages There are no oysters to be had, ex-
eept as they come to some large town in the
NeW-R0rk steamer. Ny business took me far
away from civilization on one Of my journeys
10 the islands, and was thoroughly sick OF fish
and canned food. when one OF the negroes re-
marked that there was a lot OF oysters in a
creek not far away. ! went after them with all
haste picturing the treat in store for me.
The negro explained that as an experiment the
Government had stocked the creek with oysters
several years before-he could not say how
many, but gathered it must have been at least
twenty. We got 20 the creek and found any
quantity q oysters But they were OF a sort

that they are not likely to cease changing. and
I have often wondered IL in the course Of a few
more years the oyster would not be squeezed en-
tirely out OF the she'll affording a parallel 10

4 SOUTHERN SILK MILL RULED BY THE WHIP.
From The Galveston News
T. w Thurstou is a darby of old time ideas.
who has charge of a silk mill at Fayetteville.
y. c. There are under his charge three
hundred men. women and children of his own
race. The mill has always been noted for the
discipline of its employees. and a Northern news
paper correspondent recently took occasion 10
success. When asked how he handled his mill
hands we'll ThurstOn said that the first thing
necessary in such institution is discipline;
and then when the questioneT asked If this
obtained by a system of fines the answer
No. sir By whipping" The burly negro SUI
perintendent says that he accepts no hands for
the mill unless they are given absolutely into his
control for all the time between in the morning
and in the evening. and. such authority
may be legally conferred there. he Is answerable
TO no but himself for what he does. Light
corporal punishment is of avail in his Opn-
ion, So when an emplOye is negligent in his
work or disObeys any of the ironclad rules. that
emplOye is taken out and given a whipping no
matter what the sex and no matter what the age.
Mr.. ThurstOn said:
NO one desires more than do TO see the con-
diton of my people improved; but have no false
ideas to the present condition nlaJUrlIy
OF them. They lack sense of responsibility and
are like children where money is concerned.
That must be kept in view when dealing with
them. My methods may be decried by humani-
tarians but l am proving their success. and [
up here will in turn prove means Of forwarding
the industrial advancement of the cOlOred race"
1t seems that the Thurston motto is spare the
rod and spoil the hand. If the report is true.
the hands have for him great respect, and do not
stop to murmur when he says so
