Oyster Meeting.

On Monday night last there was
large and enthusiastic meeting of the
League on Chincoteague. The Dell
egates. Messrs. W. r. Reed, Isaac
REYNOLDS and D. R Watson, made
report Of their visit to Richmond, in
the interests of our people. Their
addresses were received with tumult-
uous applause. Mr.. Reed was given
the pa I'm as the Macedonian orator.
We hear that our delegation led in
many respects all the other delega~
tions, and made profound impress
sion upon our Honorable House OF
Delegates; their stirring appeals for
Justice to the poor oystermen brought
tears to the eyes of many of our
lawmakers. They spoke in the high
est terms of our noble represents
tive, 8. wilkins Matthews, as being
so absorbed in looking after our
rights that he scarcely takes time to
eat or sleep, and that if the bill is de-
feated we will be under everlasting
obligations to the earnest, fearless
delegate from Accomack. The re-
ports were unanimously received and
the Committee was thanked by full
standing vote. The following reso
luton, prepared by Mr. o. M. Jones
relating to the noble efforts of In
spector s. A. Taylor, Assawoman
who was one of Two of all the Inspec
tors who stood for the oystermen'i
rights in this battle between the
wealthy packers and the poor tong
men:
Resolved, That we tender unto
our ever kind, liberal and efficient
oyster inspector, Mr.. s. A. Taylor
our heartfelt thanks for his untirinE
zeal and perseverance In behalf o
the oystermen's cause and especially
for the valuable assistance rendered
our committee on its recent visit t.
Richmond, who by his aid were ena
bled to present strong front In op
position to that much dreaded meas
ure, the Jordan Bill.

The Fishery Board and Jordan Bill.

Mr.. Editor:-In your issue of Feb
ruary 21st, there appeared in your
local column an article copied from
the "Times- Dispatch" 10th, to the
effect that the Chairman of the state
Board of Fisheries had been before
the committee on the Chesapeake
and its Tributaries in advocacy OF
breaking the Baylor Survey ana
renting out certain barren rocks
within the survey. AS you have
given proper credit for the article
should not notice it but for the fact
that it may be misleading; therefore,
| desire to acquaint the public with
the attitude of the Board of Fisher
les ip reference to the Jordan bill"
or breaking of the survey. The
Board meets monthly on the wed
pesday following the 18th, and as the
Jordan bill' was being discussed
on that day | was requested to APP
pear before the committee and ex-
plain the intent of the Board IN
reporting the following recommen-
dation:
"That it be empowered upon In
yestieation to lease any bottom with
in the Baylor Survey found by it to
be entirely barren of oyster rock or
so barren as TO be Improbable to
the public worker"
l stated before the Committee that
the Board never contemplated that
any paying rocks or bottoms should
be leased-only the barren area-and
that after most practical, careful
land thorough examination, and al
the season of the year when the
rocks have had time to recuperate'
giving the benefit of all doubt to the
retention of the natural rocks. L VIII
further state that not member OF
the Board desired when the report
WAS written, or intends now, that 81
acre of productive rock should ever
be leased; we think however, the
barren area inside the Survey shoulc
be leased, provided every possible
safeguard is used to retain the fertile
rocks. In conclusion will state, tina
the Fishery Board has nothing to dc
with the Jordan BILL" nor is TIL
article intended to excuse any recon
. mendation OF the Board. We stan'
by our recommendations. This state
ment is simply made to place tn
Board in the proper light.
J. w. Bowdoin,
Chairman State Board of Fisheries.

The House of Delegates of Virginia
on Wednesday voted an increase OF
per cent. on the hundred dollars
worth of real estate and a decrease
of like amount on personal property,
but the reasons for the change are
not given and the members voting
for it will not, when called upon to
give an account of their stewardship,
probably be able to give any that
will be satisfactory to the owners OF
real estate. They will be very slow
TO see any reason, if true, as stated,
that only one third or one-fourth OF
the personal property is now reached
by the assessor, why the tax upon 1t
should have been decreased and a
larger tax placed upon real estate.

Citizens of Massachusetts were the
last to engage in the slave trade, ac-
cording to statement recently made
10 letter published by Mr.. }. j.
Guthrie, of Portsmouth. His father,
he says, then an officer of the U 3.
s. Saratoga, captured at the mouth
of the Congo in April 1861, vessel
manned, owned and equipped by
Bosto mans with 900 slaves on board
the last slave trader. The statement
is worthy of belief and in keeping
with their previous record on the
slave question. 1t is matter OF his
tory that the people Of Massachu'
sets, when they found it unproht
able. because of the rigors of then
climate to own slaves, did not eman
cipate them but sent them Soutt
and sold them at the highest price
they could get for them.

The House committee on the
Chesapeake and it's tributaries Tues
day night reported, with a recon-
mendation that it do not pass, the
Jordan bill to break the Baylor oys~
ter survey. The bill has been under
consideration for several days and
numerous parties from Tidewater
have appeared in reference to it. The
prediction is made that it will pass
the House, but fail in the Senate.
1t is enough 10 know that it will be
beaten. We have never believed that
bill so glsriDgly unjust to a large
body of the citizens Of the State
could pass either branch OF our
Legislature.

was particularly sad one.
Miss Bowman came to Roswell
four months ago from St. Mary's,
Kansas. She visited E. F. Hayslip
and family to whom she was relat-
ed. In August she took the teachers
examination and was soon afterward
engaged to teach at the Flying H
ranch. She was most successful in
to Roswell and took the examina-
ton which gave her a first grade
certificate. That day she returned to
the ranch feeling i'll. and from this
illness she never recovered. Her
brother and a relative Mr. Oscar
Johnson arrived in Roswell yester-
day and accompanied the remains
home this morning
The funeral was conducted this
morning by DR.. Lukens in the Dill
ley undertaking chapel. Addresses
were made by DR.. Gardiner and SUI
perintendent Stilwell eulogizing the
high Christian character of the dead
Miss Bowman was but nineteen
years of age and her examination
papers were among the best ever
submitted to an examining board
here. Had she lived she doubtless
would have been recommended by
the examining board for a position
in the city schools, next term.
