FIRST OYSTER MONTH
SEASON TO OPEN THE 18TH OF
SEPTEMBER.
Opinions Vary Regarding the Pros
PENSIONERS Of Boats Getting
Ready for Business.

There has been a glut of watermelons at
the ''Fishtown'' wharf during the past
week, but the melon season will soon be
over and the owners of PUNCHES, sloops
and schooners will be devoting their atten-
ton to the oyster traffic. In anticipation OF
the opening of the oyster season and the
demand for the bivalves caused by the re-
cent cool nights, number of oyster houses
about the city have already opened for
business.
THE cool nights" said the proprietor OF
one of the places to a Star reporter this
morning, created a demand for cooked
oysters. and it is really necessary to open
earlier than usual. Last nights trade was
almost good it is on Sunday nights
during the winter. The fact that there Is
not an r in the month of August has moth
ing TO do with the oyster business. although
there are many persons who Imagine to the
contrary. 1t is true, of course that the
oysters improve as the thermometer drops,
but the question of only a week or ten days
about the time the season opens does not
affect them
Date of Opening.
September Is is the time fixed by law in
| the states of Maryland and Virginia for the
opening of the oyster season, and until then
| the season will not be in full blast in this
| city. Reports from down the river and
Chesapeake bay respecting the prospects do
not agree. Some shippers predict a good
season. while others are starting out with
the cry of scarcity of bvalves. The sum-
mer supply comes from the private beds
where the oysters are planted, and this
summers stock from the vivinity of Nor
folk has been exceptionally good. 1t is said
that the trouble with bedded oysters is that
they are not permitted to remain on the
beds long enough to grow and get fat. Many
owners of beds 1t is stated, take the plant
ed stock from the water before it has been
In there long enough to become acclimated.
Boat Owners Getting Ready.
Owners of boats who engage in the oyster
traffic getting their craft in readiness
for the work of the season. The wear and
tear to the boats Is greater with the oyster
trade than 1t Is when fish or produce Is
being handled. Most of the boats are
freshly painted and given a general over
hauling at this season in order that they
will be able to stand the severe weather
during the winter, when it is sometimes nee
esSary to withstand heavy ice in the river.
All will be ready by the 18th of next month,
and the season progresses the number
of oyster boats coming to the city will
multiply. The scene of activity about the
wharf will then equal that of the fish
season.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
Theme Of Rev. e. L. Hubbard's Dis
course Last MIGHT.


Rev. E. l.. Hubbard preached last night at
the McKendree NJ. E. Church with the war
between Russia and Japan as his text.
In his introduction he said:
Russia can whip Japan while the Japs
are mad. The little fellow is so mad that
he will climb all over the Cossack's back.
He is so mad that he don't care IL they
kill him. Russia wants a southern port.
and no one can blame her for wanting It,
But she is not mad with Japan or China,
and she would be well contented to see
them go to their homes in peace But Japan
looks upon the conduct Of the grea. power
OF the north as q menace to her future and
every little Jap is mad and has blood In
his eye"
The lesson he drew was that a person
who is mad" with sin VIII throw his whole
soul into the battle against 1t and be very
likely to come out victorious.
The minister devoted some time to the
discussion of the moral standards, saying
should always be considered SO.
But" he said, there are other things.
things not in the book, about which people
differ in morals. All the great men of all
the ages have differed On every great ques-
ton. When the differences arise, men are
prone to think that he who differs from
them has not q level head No man has
drawn, nor has any man right to draw a
line in morals and say that all on one side
is right and all on the other side is wrong.
What is right Tor one man because his in
depreciation of Gods mandate makes it SO,
may be infinitely wrong for another man.
l know where Gods side Is for me, and
might be able to come pretty near showing
you where Gods side is for you-because
that is in a way my business. But after
all l can only know those things for my
self, and every man must listen to the voice
of conscience that is within him to deter
mine what is right and what is wrong for
him.
Mr.. Hubbard also took occasion to score
Bishop PotterS saloOn,'' saying it repre-
sented an effort to get responsibility into
the liquor traffic.

1t would seem strange that the
town of Newport was not burned
while the Underground depot
was there. | we'll remember of
often hearing of threats that the
town would be burned some time
but it seemed that in the course
of human events it was to be
otherwise. The steady eye of
one who is not afraid and whose
cheek never blanches, will hold
in check the flercest wild beast,
so it may be that the steady res
olute united thought of those
staunch souls, who made up the
character of the town, held those
worse than wild beasts at bay.
The number Of those who were
friendly to fugitives increased as
time passed on, Many were
willing to aid in procuring cloth
ing and food for them who did
not want it to be known publicl y
that they were assisting in the
cause. A few were willing TO
aid in secreting, but the burden
of their keeping fell largely on
Levi Coffin, and his house was
the main depot in the town.
Notwithstanding the many
threats of slave-hunters and the
strong prejudices of pro-slavery
men Coffin continued to prosper
and he gained business intlu-
ence in the community. Some
of his customers, who had left
him some years before on account
of his anti-slavery sentiments be.

Attention
FarmerS--..--.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
''eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
hesh-forning and fat-forming
foods In certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening ma,
sterials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, frat and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section of the Union.
