papers of Tidewater that are close to

something be done to meet the ex-
acting demands of western legisls-
tors on the oyster subject. We have
reproduced extracts from the Tide
water press in another column. The
Norfolk Landmark strikes a note
that is fair and just to all, but the
hiii-country folk demand more, and
the press agrees that some conces-
slons must come frem ia. Legis,s-
tors that stood by us and against the
Jordan bill have served notice ON M
that they will not do so again-or,
rather, that they will join us in Offer

been berated by some shallow minded
