Fought to- q Draw.

Before an immense throng Herman Miller
of Baltimore and Billy Farron of Philadel-
phia fought a twenty-round draw at Sa-
vannah. Ga, last night. The majority OF
the audience seemed to think that 1t was
Miller's fight, but the Baltimore man was
unable to put sufficient amount Of steam
behind his blows to do the damage. He
landed at will and did most Of the leading.
Farron held his ground well. but had the
fight been awarded strictly on points It
would unquestionably have gone to the Bal
timore fighter. Both men showed up strong
and some hard punches were given and
taken. but they were not sent home at the
right time for q Knockout. Miller's foot
work was exceptionally clever, and he
showed up in even better form than in his
last draw with Farron. In q finish fight
there would DO no doubt as to who would
win. The men, however. are very evenly
matched.

THE OYSTER COMMISSION

The oyster commission appointed
at the recent session of the Legisla-
ture to examine into and report as
TO the ACCESSIBILITY of breaking the
Baylor survey, according to lnforma
ton received from them during their
cruise in Virginia waters, "does not
favor the leasing of natural beds. if
they are really productive, but if
they have become depleted and pro.
duce but little, they will urge that
they be rented"
This decision seems fair. if the
data can be obtained by them which
will enable them to act intelligentlv
IN the matter. That they cannot, no
other proofs need be submitted than
the mistakes made by Mr.. Baylor,
and without information satisfactory
to them, 1t is fair to presume, that
they will hold on to their present
convictions, and report in favor of
leasing so much of the oyster beds.
that they might as we'll report in
favor of breaking the Baylor sur yey.

QUITE fight is on between the
bulls-or stockholders who boost
prices-and the cotton mills. This
article is way out of sight, and keeps
going up. The mills have had to
stop buying and garment workers
are at staud-still for cotton
cloths. Though higher in pro-
portion than other articles the cotton
market is a pretty fair index of the
market on other things indispensable
to the consumer. The cost of living
just now, as for some time past, is
excessive, and wages have not adj
vanced anything in proportion. This
latter default is not altogether be-
cause OF desire on the part of EN-.
pioyers, for in many trades they are
getting little advance for their ont
put. The whole thing, which is a
curse 10 any nation, lies at the door
OF the stock-broker, and is an iniqu-
lty second only to the high tariff sys-
TEN of this country. In fact, the
latter often permits the broker as

prices to an unreasonable extent.

No AMENDMENTS NEEDED

The new game law enacted by the Leg
islature is n stringent one. The only
criticisms we have to make OF it are that
1t is made purely for the city sportsmen,
and prevents those who hunt wild water
fowl for profit from capturing them in
the night time. For instance. sora "slap-
ping" in the Tidewater marshes has got
ten to be a lucrative industry. Under
the new law this industry is DESTROYED.
The sora, like ducks and geese, are migra-
tory, and only remain few weeks. 1t is
hardship on many people, and the law
should be amended next FALL Williams
burg Gazette.
You never made a bigger mistake in
your life. The law should not be amend
ed in the way you mention. There is no
earthly reason for any man to make a
living out of the wholesale slaughter of
game, and the man who can make it no
other way is mighty poor man. The
game laws passed by thelast Legislature
are by far the best this State ever DOS
sessed, and If amended at all, they should
be made more stringent instead of more
ienient. So far rs "sora" are concerned.
we do not think the law applies to them.
Fredericksburg Star.
Whether the sora be particularly
mentioned or not we are inclined TO
agree with the Gazette that the CITY
sportsman's hand has shown too
strong in our new game law. The
part that particularly displeases our
people is prohibiting non-re resident
visitors from shooting water fowl,
cartridges, etc. Many of our people
invite friends from other states to
run down for days or weeks
hunt, greatly to the enjoyment of
friend, and oftentime to the remun-
Grafton of host, with little damage
to the game.
