The conferences on the part of the
House and the Senate have agreed
on a compromise measure for the
General Game Law. One provision
takes robins out of the class of game
birds and insures their protection at
all seasons. The open season for
partridges, turkeys, pheasants and
other game birds will be from No
vember l to January / west of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, and from
November l to February 1 east of
the noun tains. 1t is provided in
the bill that the board of supervisors
of any county may shorten the open
season within the county. The APP
pointmen of game wardens shall
apply 10 cities only, unless the board
OF supervisors Of the county shall
take action making 1t operative in
their county. The license on non
resident hunters shall not be required
of the children of resident landown-
era hunting on their parents land
or the guests of resident landowners

accompanied by their host or a men,

Miss Edna Harrison, who has been

Monday and has returned TO her

very highest type of Christian
young lady and uses her Bible daily
IN her school. 1t is needless to saw
that she has gained the esteem OF
both parents and children. She has
given better satisfaction than any one
who has taught this school for years.
We hate to give her up, and hope we
may be fortunate enough to have her
back again next session, as she is the
right teacher for the place.

FISHING NOTES.

At last the menhaden are begin.
ming to show up in the Chesapeake.
A good many steamers are already
cnaslng them. The Geo. P. Squires,
OF the Bellows & Squires fleet, one
day last week caught 149, 900 fat
ones near the Capes. The other
boats also caught fair jags. The
Carter's Greek boats will start fishing
next week.
The theorists, called scientists
nave found a new reason for the
depletion of the oysters of Long
Island. They say the catching of
meuhaden removes fish that feed ON
young star-ish, which latter fish is
the natural enemy of the oyster.

to recover from the Mann bill, and the
result OF the election next year is going
TO be something OF surprise ia the
State.-Netcport Ne'cs Times. herald.
We can't see it that way. We think
the Mann bill will tend to keep to-
gether the old party in this State
some years yet. Without some such
remedial legislation thousands of her
best people would have soon left the
Democratic ranks. Our experience
IN this part of the Democratic field
mas been that where the friends of
the saloon could not get the candi-
dates they wanted they invariably
ooited, or went for the Republican
candidates secretly while protesting
they were still Democrats. We got
along without them in such instances
and they cannot do worse now under
the Mann bill. The men here who
have always swallowed the ticket
nave been the temperance people.
They have been the true Democrats
OF this section. 1t is wise Tn en-
courage such fidelity, and the Demo
cratic party, through the Mann law,
has taken this timely step.

THE HARM DONE BY BAD ROADS
Norfolk Landmarkl

When our virile weekly contempo-
rary, the VIRGINIA CITIZEN, of Irv.
ington, has point to make, it makes
tie point impressively. For in
stance, how could the public mind
be brought more sharply to realize
the injury worked to the State by Its
wretched roads than by the follow
ing illustration:
Zone of the Goulds was anxious to buy
a fine tract of Virginia land and build
thereon a handsome country place. but
the bad roads scared him off and he has
gone where he can find better highways
Millions upon millions of capital have in
the past overleaped Virginia and gone
into other States because of this direful
condition, and millions more will do like.
wise, we fear, in the years to come"
There you have it, Many Vir-
glnia newspapers have been saving
that we ought to invite the Goulds
to bring some of their projected rail
ways to this State; but these capital
lists doubtless pay more attention to
material attractions like good public
roads than to invitations, of which
they probably receive a superlluity.
1t would be great deal better for
the State of Virginia to get her pub
llc highways into good condition
than to have any or all of the Gould
railroads-and We do not belittle the
Importance of the latter. If we will
go to work and put our Common
wealth IN apple-pie order, giving
the farmer every facility to get his
goods to market and showing a dis
position to develop our own resources
instead of waiting for outsiders, the
Goulds and the rest of them will
come to Virginia without the asking.

JONES VS. MARTIN.

Mr.. Jones is possible candidat,
for the Unied States senate to sue.
coed Senator Martin. When asked
by the Nescs Leader correspondent
whether he would be candidate, he
replied that he didn't know vel
whether he would or not.
lie was asked whether he thought
Montague would be in the race. To
this he replied; II do not know al
all whether he will or not. / cannot
tell whether ! will be or not myself,
and OF course, if do not know about
my own candidacy, you would hardly
expect me to know about Governor
Montague's candidacy"
Mr.. Jones is of the opinion that
the Mann bill will cut less of figure
in the next State campaign than the
Campbell decision. He says that the
Campbell case is attracting a great
deal of attention, and that its out
come will be a burning issue in the
next political battle in Virginia.
When asked what he thought of
the sen timent in his district on the
next presidential nominee, Mr.. Jones
replied: "My people are busy making
money and very few of them are
taking time to discuss politics. 1t
is safe to venture, however, that they
are not for Cleveland, and / hardly
think that they will be for Bryan,
and between the other talked of men.
1t would be but guess on my part to
say who they would advocate"

CITIZEN volunteers to receive and
turn over to the proper committee
such subscriptions in money as its

ing gratitude than by helping those
who are in affection. Let us do
what we can. Subscriptions sent us
will be publicly acknowledged and
promptly forwarded the West Point

SO far our contributions have been
all from Irvington. We hope other
sections will aid the good work.

The first day of May was the occasion
OF extensive strikes all over the country
and many enterprises are at a standstill
III consequence. The demand In most
instances is reduction of time of a
days labor to eight hours and an increase
IN wages. Many of the strikes appear
to be sympathetic, while Others are an.
parentiy without cause. In some quart.
ers the demands OF the strikers have
been partly met-that is, wages have
been increased with the reduction of
hours of labor pending-and thousands
nave gone to work but in many places
no concessions have been made. Strikes
are becoming quite common in our frea
country, sometimes for just cause, but
often without any cause.-Free Lance

what the CITIZEN said some weeks

very shortly bring upon us disas.
