SOME WONDERFUL HORSES

The newspapers tell us of won
derful horse down in Kentucky
which can scent and ssstand" par
tridges equal to any pointer in the
country. He pays no attention to
rabbits or to any bird but the par
tri1ge, so the story goes. When he
gets into the vicinity of a covey of
birds his nostrils dilate. He throws
up his head and shows all the symp-
toms that bird dog gives except his
tail, which never stands out,
but merely switches.
This recalls to mind joke which
we once heard from a political ros-
trum. An old farmer had very
recalcitrant "plug," which he was
more than anxious to get rid Of.
Whenever the spur was applied old
Dobbin would at once squat. So,

The ~. ". Ne,cS is highly virtuous
in its indignation at the "gross viola.
tion of one of the ordinary proprieties
of respectable journalism" which is
charged against two Of its contempo.
raries for the alleged plagiarism Of a
news item.
The News is such a recent convert
to the courtesy of giving proper credit
for borrowed goods that its zeal
makes it intolerant Of attractions OF
that common honesty" that ''should
suggest to those who make use of
that which FIRST appears exclusively
in our Gts) columns that they should
give the usual and proper credit"
If any one will look over the files
of the Aescs he will find hundreds of
articles published without any credit
whatever. The Ne,cs has a custom
of printing several columns each
month of agriculture lore taken bod
lily from the Southern Planter, and
until recently without giving credit
TO that journal.
A year or more ago this writer sug-
gested to the manager of the NeCs
that if his paper should credit the
! Southern Planter with all Of its ar
ticles reprinted in the Nescs that it
would not only add to their force
but that it would be an act eff cour
tesy due the paper quoted from. He
gave thanks for the hint and proceed
ed to put it into execution. Occa-
sionally since then there las been
failure to give credit, probably due
to accidental omission.
This writer believes that the acri-
monious paragraph Is to be attributed
to others than the affable manager,
who should not be blamed.

OYSTERS A LIVELY TOPIC.

(Richmond Times
Fish and oysters and the oyster
navy got in the race with the Con-
stitutional Convention last week in
the Legislature and trotted it live
ly heat.
A large delegation of oyster plant
ers were in Richmond TO lodge their
complaints with the lawmakers and
to seek protection to their interests.
The State Board of Fisheries held
two lengthy sessions, heard the oys.
ter people, gave approval to the gener-
al objects of their bill adopted at a
conference held in West Point, Tues
day night, and referred the planters
to the Senate Committee on Fish aud
Game and the House Committee on
Chesapeake and It's Tributaries.
Among the oyster people in atten-
dance were the following: Messrs
W. E. Block, of Isle of Wight; ID. NJ.
Nelson, of Urbanna; Charles A.
Ayers, Ashton Fletcher, James II.
Mears, of Accomac; j. L. Mulford,
b. w. Hefferon, Dir. Richardson.
George w. Richardson, of West Point;
Mr. Scharf, Captain Almond, of
Gloucester county; j. G. Robinson,
of Hampton; DR.. +. w. Lewis and B.
l.. Farinholt, of Lancaster.
Colonel Farinholt, a former citizen
of Tidewater Virginia and now res
ident of Baltimore, acted as the prin-
cipal spokesman for the oystermen.
He told of their grievances, of need
of a resurvey aud of the necessity of
protecting the seed oysters. Col.
Farinholt said it was sad fact that
some of the oyster inspectors of the
State were in collusion with those
violating the law, and the bill pro :
vided for their removal and punish
ment.
WEST POINT RESOLUTIONS.
The Association formed at West
Point adopted the following regula-
tions:
1. This association shall be known

3. Every member pledges himself

4. Each planter or captain of ves-
sci desiring to purchase seed-oyster

sented to and be countersigned by

at which said seed oysters are bought
and no one shall commence 10 load
