oyter Dispute Again.

Gov. Vardaman has received a pc
tition from the raw oyster dealers
along the Mississippi coast urging
that steps be taken to abrogate the
agreement previously entered into
between the States Of Mississippi
and Louisiana regarding the dis
putcd oyster reefs and fishing terri
tory, concerning which litigation is
now pending before the United
States Supreme Court.
The petition does not definitely
outline the course of action which
the oyster men desire the chief ex-
ecutive to pursue, and it seems that
his hands are tied in the matter, as
the agreement was made during the
previous administration, and is to
hold good until the case pending be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court is settled.
The neutral ground described in
the agreement includes some OF the
best oyster reefs in the Mississippi
sound, and the Louisiana boats take
oysters therefrom freely, but the
Mississippi oyster men are unable
to do so on account of Louisiana's
armed patrol.
During the early part of the pres
ent year Gov. Vardaman visited the
gulf coast and similar petition was
presented to him by the Oystermen's
Protective Association, but he was
unable to offer any relief.

short One Eiector.

Secretary of State Power made
the discovery last week that the Re-
publcans have failed to furnish the
required number of candidates for
presidential electors, being one man
Shy in this respect. The error re-
suits from a scramble in the party
convention last March, a contest
having been filed from the Third
district which the executive COM
mittee failed to settle. The COM
mission, however, will not disqualify
the ticket, but the law requires that
the voter must vote for ten, and this
means that the Republican voters
must select name from either the
Democratic, Populist or Socialist
ticket.
