INCREASE OF OYSTER LANDS.

Z. @. Warwick, who has been en-
gagged in making a survey of certain
parts of the oyster planting grounds
of the State, is now at work COM
piling the figures aud preparing
map Of the work done by him. Isle
of Wight county was the first county
in which Mr.. Warwick did any
work, aud the result was as much of
a surprise to him as it will be when
the figures are submitted to the MEM
bers of the State Board of Fisheries.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. Warwick
said:
''The survey made by me under
direction of the State Board of Fish
cries comprises only about one
twenty-fifth of the oyster grounds of
the State, which had in round num-
bers about one thousands acres. The
new survey will show that there are
at least four thousand acres available
for renting purposes. showing an in
crease of about 800 per cent.
"The entire State has about SO, 900
acres from which it is receiving
revenue at the rate of 81 an acre a
year. Should the ratio of increase
returned from Isle of Wight con-
tinue throughout the State, as
believe it will, then the State will
have not less than 125,O00 acres,
instead of $4,000 acres as at present.
Judging from these figures / incline
to the belief that the State could
afford to have new survey made of
her entire lands.

champion Corn Husker.

1t would be interesting to know
what white or colored farmer in Vir-
ginia can beat the record in husking
corn made by Elijah Barnhart, of
Pennsylvania. The Richmond Ns,cs
will be glad to print his picture and
an authenticated story of his achieve
ment.
Barnhart is the York county, Pa,
man who claims to be the champion
corn husker of Pennsylvania and
Maryland. He believes he can husk
corn faster than any man in the
world, and has issued a challenge to
all comers. About his title to the
championship of Pennsylvania and
Maryland he is quite sure. and hardly
expects to have the challenge accept
ed by any one within that territory.
Barnhart has husked eight and one
half bushels of corn in an hour,
with plenty of time to tell jokes
meanwhile.

A REMARKABLE CANE.
DIR. Lafferty Has One That Grew
Out OF Jackson's BODY.

DR.. J. j. Lafferty, editor of the
Christian Adcocate, has in his posses
sion perhaps the most unique and
historic cane in existence. 1t is act
ually the flesh and bones of Stone
wall Jackson appearing in the form
of wood.
And this is how it came about and
how DR.. Lafferty came to tell the
story. lie was coming down
Main street few days ago when a
friend accosted him with: "What
are you carrying such big stick for,
Doctor? This is the very heart of
civilization, and you are a member of
the ostpeaceable of all professions
"You see" returned the eminent
minister and editor, and one of the
best parsgraphers in the State, "this
cane has the most unique history in
the world. 1t is the body of Stone
wall jackson that l am leaning on
when | walk"
An exclamation of surprise fol-
lowed, and Ia request for the tale.
At the time of the burial of Jack
son some one set out a mere twig up
on the grave of the great leader. The
bush grew in time to be sapling
several inches in diameter. The
friends of the Jackson family began
to deplore the fact that the bush had
ever been allowed to grow there, and
Mrs. Jackson had it removed. The
men found that the roots of the sap
ling had found its way into the plain
wooden coffin Of the soldier and had
twined itself about his skeleton. The
worst fears were realized. That long,
slhuous root had actually eaten up
the flesh of Stonewall jackson, and
would have fed itself upon the lime
of his bones had it been allowed to
remain. 1t was taken up and cane
was made of part of it. This cane
was artistically carved and given to
DIR. Lafferty. The editors name is
cut upon it and the name of the
paper with which he has been iden-
titled SO long.
1t is, in a sense, literally true that
when the Doctor is out with his cane
he is leaning, as he wal6s, upon the
strong arm of Stonewall jackson.

illness. He had been in a strange
land, without home or kindred, un-
skilled in any line, yet he had con
quered. Bic wit had won friends
for him; his willingness had won
work for him; his Scotch instincts
had taught him the only way to have
money is to save it. He had not had
even the capital of finished educa-
ton, but his power of observation
and application supplied the want as
textbooks never could. He was not
familiar with the PHILOSOPHERS of the
ancients to help him in solving life's
problems, but in their stead he bad
better, a natural philosophy of his
own that resulted from comming-
ling of his early training with the
character that grew out of his subse-
quent American experience. This
philosophy was founded ON the prac-
tical application of the Golden Rule,
and he added thereto this axiom:
"What is, is right"-an axiom that
brought him content through all the
various phases of his varied lot, that
taught him to believe in the ultimate
success of every honest effort, that
gave him strength over the rough
places and courage through the dark
ways.
On the high street of Glasgow, his
native town, young Upton began the
upgrade of his career. 1t was a
modest beginning-all his beginnings
were-but a nest-egg is a nest-egg,
and its size has little to do with ulti-
mate results. Everything in the
little provision store he opened was
paid for In cash. Wien the five
hundred dollars was exhausted, he
waited for returns before purchasing
more stock. One of the FIRST princi-
pies Of this commercial genius was
to keep out of debt There were no
funds to devote to clerk hire-he
became his own clerk. This man
who saw each broadening step of his
future before he got to it, because it
came by his own planning and build
ing, and not by chance; who saw
everything on gigantic scale and
aimed for all things big, swept out
his own store, measured his own pro-
visions for his customers, slept in
bed beneath his counter, and rose
from it at daybreak to get his shop
and his wares in readiness for the
days business.
Day-6reams-big day y-dreams-are
a godsend to the ambitious, provided
they are not allowed to encroach upon

stitute the cornerstone of every great
success.-Octo5er Cosmopolitan.

PRESIDENT TALKS OUT.

President Roosevelt, in his bold
and independent way, has answered
the G. A. II. agitators. Through
one of the leading Grand Army men
he gave them to understand that ne
intended to pursue the same course
toward the South as that of Mr..
Mckinley. He intimated that he re-
garded himself as the President of
the South as much as of the North,
and that In making appointments to
office or otherwise recognizing the
claims of American citizens no con-
sideration would be paid to the Sec
ton of the country from which they
came. He fully recognized the claims
OF the soldiers of the Grand Army of
the Republic and proposed to see
that they were properly cared for in
the administration of pensions and
IN the distribution of patronage. But,
without reference to the issues of the
Civil War and without taking any
position as to the propriety of the
course of either the South or the
North, Mr. Roosevelt let it be plainly
understood that he was not "sec-
tional" President in any sense of the
word, and that the fact man was
from the South would not operate
against him any more than the fact
that he was from the North would
be considered as in his favor.

Some interesting surprises are
noted in glancing at the figures
showing the number of Prohibition
counties in the Southern States.
Kentucky is a standing target for
jokes about liquor-drinking, because
of its immense production of whiskey,
bat it is fact that of the "a counties
of Kentucky only four permit the
sale OF liquor, except on physicians
prescriptions. The big State of Texas,
which has a "wide-open" reputation
in the North, has 12O Prohibition
counties. Georgia leads all of its
sister States of the South with 1872;
Mississippi has "a, Tennessee 0,
North Carolina 60, Virginia 55,
Alabama so, Arkansas so, West Vir-
ginia 40, Florida 80, and so on.

Over Three Months without
Food or Water.

Peter Street, the fisherman, of
Stafford, caught swapping turtle on
May 1st In the Potomac river and
carried him home. He put him in
a box without food or water. Shortly
afterwards Mr.. Street was taken sick
and forgot all about the turtle. The
middle of August he remembered the
turtle and looked in the box. He
was alive and as bright as button.
He has since been fed and watered
in a pond nearby, and when Mr..
Street goes to feed him he swims up
to the bark, gets his. meal and goes
to the bottom again. He weighs ten
pounds, and Mr.. Street has presented
him to member of the Free Lance
staff, who wall have turtle soup with
his friends.--Tb Free Lance.

The Southern wOman's Voice.

LhC ooutucTn WOmanS voice.
/ think the reason the Southern
women have such deliciously soft
voices may be traced to the defer
ence of the men. Southern men look
upon their women as angels. When a
Southern mans wife or daughter be-
gins to talk she doesn't have to veil
for the purpose of attracting his at
tention or getting him to stop his
story and give her a chance. When
a Southern woman speaks the South
ern man is silent and attentive. He
listens to her words as if they were
honey dropping to his lips. This at
titude of respect upon the part of
the man for the woman, which seems
to be universal through the South,
makes the Southern woman the gen.
tie, sweet-voiced creature that she is.
