Church Going.

Some one has recently taken the
census of the church-goers of the
city of New York and finds that only
about one-third of its population ever
60 to any place of worship on Sunday.
This speaks very badly for the people
of the great metropolitan city of New
York. 1t is great privilege, as it
should be great pleasure, for man
to 60 to that building dedicated to the
worship of Almighty God on the day
which the church and State have set
aside as Sunday. But aside from the
religions aspect of the matter, ELI
inmate, if you please, that view of
the case, it is good citizenship to go
to church, to assist and aid their up
building, their efficiency and promo
tion by ones presence and contribu-
tions. 1t has been truthfully said
that If the churches were DESTROYED
more ja:ls and penitentiaries would
have to be erected. Fredericksburg

ANSWER TO "a PLANTER
EDITOR VJRGINIA CITTzFN

Isee from last weeks issue of your
paper communication from an oys-
ter planter on the oyster question.
agree with Planter that without the
planting of oysters the oyster indus
try would be greatly disabled, and
also that the compromise of taking
off the first fifteen days of Septem Der
is very good decision. / also agree
with Planter that the greatest bar
rier to the oyster industry without
doubt or dispute is the violation of
the Gull law. Planter says if the
Gull law was strictly enforced the
natural rocks would thrive aud in
crease more with a twelve month
open season than under the present
culling system of half that length.
! have always contended that if the
Gull law was rigidly enforced the
length of the season would be Of no
consequence as to our rocks increas-
ing in quantity and quality of oys-
ters. i also agree with Planter when
he says the penalty for violation of
the Gull law is too tritling. He thinks
the first offense shonld be ine of
not less than $10--and collected,
and for the second offense the license
should be taken from the tonger and
ne not be allowed to tong or Gull dur
ing the remainder of that season.
Now. Mr.. Planter, you are too
liberal. / am not in favor of giving
them another chance. They have
had about ten years to be educated
in culling oysters, and if they
haven't learned yet they are bad
cases and had better seek some other
employment. If you want the Gull
law enforced take the license from
them for the first offense after the
law passes. You remember quite a
number have had three or four op-
portunities already, and i am not In
favor of giving them a single other
chance. The time to cull oysters is
when they are on the culling board.
They are taken up one at time
and the tongers know whether
they are too small or not, and they
also know a shell from an oyster.
There is no excuse for any ones not

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

Senator Martin is strongly talked
of for national chairman to succeed
Senator Jones.
Congressman Glass says an ample
monument to General Lee already
stands in Washington-the pension
building.
On retiring Speaker Henderson
could not get the usual vote of
unanimous thanks. 1t is a pity that
the career of General Henderson,
long and distinguished in war and
In peace, should close with what is
to him so humilisting a manifesto
tion of disapproval and unpopulariiy.
He won high place in the Ameri-
Can Congress, lost it through the
brutal, unexpected and unprece-
dented exercise of power and display
of low partisanry.
The feud between President Roose-
velt and Senator Carmack has mar
rowed down to question of personal
veracity. In statement issued
Mr.. Carmack does not hesitate to
say what he thinks. Some DAYS
ago delegation of Tennesseeans,
including Mr.. Richardson and Rep
resen tative Gaines, called on the
President and asked bim to appoint
Mr.. w. S. Morgan, of Tennessee, to
the Isthmian Canal Commission.
MIR. Carmack declined to ask any
favor of the President, and did not
accompany the delegation. He has
not been in the White House since
the Booker Washington dining last
fall. Mr.. Roosevelt received the
Tennesseeans cordially, and said he
would be glad to oblige them, and
was always CLAY to confer with Ten
nesseeans. "But," he added, show
ing his teeth in characteristic way,
"there is one of your colleagues
whom l would see In h Hades
before would do him a favor
They would not tell Carmack what
the President had said, but it came
to his ears yesterday. The President
denied that he made the re-
mark, but upon being forced to do
so, Mr.. Richardson and Mr.. Gaines
aver positively that he did use the
exact language quoted.
The Congress just closed appro
priated billion and a half dollars. A
few years ago when the appropriation
reached billion there was tire,
mendous outcry. "The billion dol
lar congress" was a Democratic
watchword and the country was made
to shiver at the thought of it. AS 6
matter of fact, the average mind
cannot grasp billion. A million
is about as high as we really can gel
clear conception of. Ten hundred
thousand of anything is enormous
When we get to ten hundred times
ten hundred thousand-a thousand
million-we are lost and simply tax.

"GRIS" WRITES ON ROADS.

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t is rather late for me to write
anything about the proposed road
project, but l just must, or l fear
the results of silence.
Of all the wild, high-Jumping,
visionary, hobgoblin. nightmare
schemes to tangle up community
in a hopeless web of debt, the said
road project is the very shadiest. am
very sorry such a scheme emanated
from the brain of such an eminent
sky pilot. would meekly suggest
to Brother Clay brook that it would
be more seemly for him and his CO.
laborers to devote their entire ener-
gies to directing people to that
straight and narrow way that leads
up yonder, and not STIR us mundane
mortals up about muck rakes aud
mud holes. / also wish to remind
Brother Fred about a story l read
somewhere sometime, which will fit
the case in point. 1t was about
man who entrusted 10 three Of his
servants sums of money according
to their capabilities, aud the first
one took his trust and buried 1t in
the ground and lost it, while the
other two made good use of theirs.
He will recognize the story, SO / will
only say that he ought to know, as
do, a servant who will not make
good use Of one thousand dollars
will certainly not make good use
of ten thousand dollars (talents).
You will doubtless say am all I'M
pediment to progress, but l am not
1t is no progress to saddle our chill
dren and grandchildren with q
worthless debt, whereas the time
will surely come when the people
will have to pay money from abso-
lutte necessity. want to say to our
County Fathers before you sanction
loan to sink in our mud roads You
had better think how posterity will
think of you and your acts.
1t the good (?) people of our coun-
ty would stop working the county
for the money, and work the roads
for the money, the roads and county
would be better off, and SO would
the workers-in spirit if not in
pocket. am very sorry such a plan
was ever proposed, and am specially
sorry it was proposed by my friend,
Rev. Claybrook, as it sounds entirely
too "politiciany" to come from
preacher. If some of the "elect"
wire-pullers had launched that
scheme / would not thought so hard
of it, but as it is, it is the unkindest
cut of all. am very sorry to have
to get my back up, but it is up, and
1T will stay up as long as the fur is
rubbed the wrong way. / am still
in hopes that something will turn
up to put stop to all these Wild
cat schemes. ] can talk faster than
l can write, and wish 1 could talk
all my talk so could stop.

observing the Gull law. Suppose you
give us law so that if the inspector
catches man violating the law he
must tie his anchor to his neck and
throw him in the river. | ask what
good would it do if no one ever went
In the river to catch him? The re-
suit would be that no one would ever
be thrown in the river. | say let
our lawmakers require our inspec-
tors to go on the river daily when
the oystermen 60, and look after
them and rigidly enforce the Gull
law. Let the section that refers to
the Gull law be printed on the back
of the oyster license; then they can
not have any excuse as to the law.
There is nothing to gain by break
ing the Baylor line, as Planter SAYS.
and it would cause one of the great
est stirs among our people ever known
of. Let our lawmakers see that the
ground now rented and held by
planters be collected on. / am in
possession of information that leads
me to believe there is at least twenty
five per cent. of the ground rented
that is not collected on. Why should
some pay and others not pay? The
law says planted oysters should be
taxed as other property. l notice
Lancaster county paid last year on
planted oysters aud shells $5.47, and
from the county that little planter
Darling plants in not one cent was
paid on planted oysters and shells,
If planted oysters aud shells are to
be assessed let all be assessed, but If
all are not going to pay repeal the
law, so that all will fare alike.
mention the counties of Lancaster
and Elizabeth City as examples.
There are other counties that do not
pay any more than the above named.
| estimate we should get from eight
to ten thousand dollars from planted
oysters and shells, while last year
one thousand and eighty-seven dol
lars and sixty-two cents was all that
was collected from that source.
