AoCoMAO COURT HOUSE. VA
SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, l9O4'
Entered at the Postofice at Accomao Z. II
Vs., as second-clsss matter.

In its last issue the Enterprise eX-
pressed the belief that the Senate OF
Virginia, with its reputation for con-
seryatism and intelligent action, could
not concur with the House III the
passage Of the Ubiquitous measure,
known as the Jordan. Oyster Bill, and
1t is gratifying to us to be able to re-
joice with the people Of Tidewater that
the bill was defeated That it was
great victory in the interest of right
and Justice there is no question, but
amid our rejoicings it is well for us to
remember, that the few who by their
earnest and active efforts made it pos
sible need something more than con-
CALCULATIONS if we would have them
perpetuate for the most part the vic
tory which they have gained for us
In word, those who honestly, per
haps, but ignorantly believe There are
millions in the oyster industry" and
that other class, who are backing them
because they wish to appropriate to
their own private use "the natural
beds. rocks and shoals" have not
abandoned the fight. That contest
will doubtless be renewed during the
session which begins January 18th,
and prompt action on the part OF our
people, therefore, is necessary. The
fact. that the Senate declared, that the
principle Of the Jordan bill was right
and defeated it, not on its merits, but
because Of defects apparent on the
face Of it, emphasizes the necessity OF
the people Of Tidewater getting to
gether and acting as promptly as pos
sible. In what way we can best pre-
pare ourselves to make the fight is an
other question. One thing, at least
seems certain that concessions will
have to be made by us, and to tina
end another survey has been suggested
as the best means of satisfying the de
mands of those remote from Underwater
Whether or not this suggestion is
good one, we are not prepared to say
but if changes must be made in on
oyster laws, there can be no question
that the step in that direction should
be made by the people of 'ridewater
The day Of opposing all oyster legisla
ton has passed. We must act If w
would not have the wild and visionar.
schemes of others prevail to the detH
ment not only of those engaged in tn
oyster industry but of all Of the peOpl
of Virginia.
