THE OYSTER INDUSTRY OF LOUISIANA.

We have recently received from MI. Johh
DYmond Jr, Attorney for the Oyster Commls-
sion of Louisiana, phamphlet prepared by HIM
giving very careful study of the oyster industry.
AS the water bottoms Of Louisiana. suitable for
oyster cultivation, are the property OF the state
and are rented by the State for the purpose OF
oyster cultivation. it bchooyes US all to consider
what legislation may be necessary to increase the
area leased and by increased production develope
the oyster industry as each additional acre rented
means an annual increase in the revenues of the
State.
There are between FIVE and six million acres OF
water bottom which could be rented and yet.
after eighteen years of experience under our
present and previous oyster laws less thar SIX
thousand acres or less than one tenth OF one per
cent of the total area, is under lease. The oyster
crop of Louisiana amounting to half million
barrels last year, could have easily been produced
ON five thousand acre oyster farm, under cult
yation In Louisiana an oyster grows about three
times as rapidly rs it does anywhere else, owing to
the warmth of our water and the great food
supply available
Mr.. Dymond suggests that our laws in the past
have been calculated to retard the development OF
the oyster industry. rs nothing but hand labor
can be employed and not over twenty acres OF
bottom can be leased by any ono person, firm or
corporation and be put under cultivation, and
when we consider the small areas taken by the
oyster fishermen ant! the immense area lying idle
and in fact that the State is being deprived OF
positive revenue by the operation of this law, the
necessity for change is readily apparent.
Possessing tho natural advantages that we do,
we should be able to avail of them just as the
cotton, rice or sugar planter is permitted to take
advantage of all improved methods of planting
and harvesting his crops. on his own
property, so should the oyster land tenant be
permitted to work his crop and there appears to
be no good reason why this should not be done.
The Oyster Commission of Louisiana after
studying the industry for the past two years, will
submit to our legislature an oyster bill and We,
therefore, recommend to the legislature serious
consideration of the bill prepared by the Oyster
Commission as twill reflect and emboay all the
advantages aud study given to the subject by that
body.
Mr. Dymond believes, in the next ten years, if
intelligent legislation is enacted, that the revenue
to be derived by the State from the oyster indus
try will go great way toward relieving the State
from the necessity of lcvyng her annual taxation.

How the jury Was Chosen.

of ex-Lieutenant Governor Tillman. OF
South Carolina, there is an extraordi-
nary story in the Louisville Courier
journal that throws new light on ou,
jury system and the practice of crimi-
nal law. According to our Louisville
contemporary there was never any
doubt as to the result of the trial in
the minds of the defense. and it goes
on to give the reason for this feeling of
Safety. Az soon as it was known in
what county the Tillman case would be

a dozen OF them, and each man carried

n% his house an enlarged portrait of

one could fail to recognize it. The agent
treated the women with marked polite
ness but always did business with The
man of the house. After a few min
utes' conversation he would display

enough would lead to IA discussion OF
