Dam No 4, above town, used to be
a famous place for bass. Almost any
one who would go there with good
bait when the water was favorable
could be sure of nice string, but you
can't get them now. You may fish
all day faithfully and not get five
pounds. They are not there, else
they could be induced to bite.
The dam at the cement mill below
town used to be the favorite place
for Shepherdstown fishermen. Any
boy with hoop-pole and string could
catch bass there in quantities, and
Observer, with partner or two, has
often brought home as many as one
person could comfortably carry-some-
times it would take two to carry the
catch. The dam is entirely gone now
and the famous holes where knowing
ones knew they could always get a
bite have been filled up. You earn
every fish you catch now at the old
dam.

One thing can be done to help in
crease the bass, and that is to re-
stock the river. The government
fish hatcheries are generous in supply
ing young fish for this purpose. Com
missioner George NJ. Bowers will, we
are sure, give particular attention to
the Potomac if his attention is called
to the subject, and our sportsmen
ought to make united effort to get
liberal supply for next fall.

Many fishermen think that the pres
ence of carp in the river explains the
scarcity of bass They say that these
scaveuger fish, which have become SO
numerous and so large. destroy the
spawn of the bass, and thus steadily
reduce the number year by year.
This may be the fact, and Observer Is
inclined to believe there is something
in it, but why do not the voracious
bass devour the young carp and so
eliminate them? 1t is believed by
some that the carp, being a sluggish
fish and naturally belonging to ponds,
will not flourish in running water, and
that after awhile, when those big fell
lows that sport around have been
caught or have come to some other IA
tai end they will no longer be null
sance in the river. Carp have been
caught in this neighborhOod that had
almost peck Of spawn in them, but
who has seen any young carp? Has
any person caught one under pound
weight If they are increasing and
multiplying, why do we not see null
titudes of young ones?

NOTES BY OBSERVER.

What's the matter with the bass?
is a question that is puzzling local
fishermen as we'll as city visitors who
in times past have had the thrilling
pleasure of catching many a good
string of these gamy fish from the Po-
tomac in the vicinity of Shepherds
town. A dozen or twenty years ago
it wasn't any particular trouble to
catch bass, but it takes very unusual
combination of hard work and good
luck to bring home a sizeable string
these days. A few persons say that
there are still plenty of fish In the
river, but that they are simply hard
er to catch than they used to be.
This belief is not shared by those who
give careful attention to the sport OF
fishing. Observer believes, and this
is the consensus Of opinion among low
ers of the rod and line, that bass are
very scarce in the river, and the Puz-
zling question is, why2

Citv Council Meeting.

At a special meeting of city council
held last Friday evening, Mr.. Edgar
Dickinson was, upon recommendation OF
the board of health, elected health officer
at salary Of ten dollars a month, to be
employed as long as the board requires
his services.
An extension of the time for paying
street tax until June first was passed.
After that date the penalty will certainly
attach.
The matter of locating the electric
lights for the streets was put in the hands
of the street committee, consisting OF
Messrs. J. D. Fielder, Geo. F. Hair, and j.
W. Stokes, and they in company with Eli.
Howell, did this work Saturday after
noon.
The petition of the Bamberg Guards to
be excused from street tax was presented
but not acted on. In case the company is
continued in service, council will likely
grant the request, as former councils
have done so.

Cotton Growers Meet.

The Bamberg county cotton growers
association held meeting in the court
house here last Monday. Reports as to
the reduction in the acreage of cotton for
this county were received, and it is calcu-
lated that reduction of thirteen per
cent. or more has been made.
A resolution in reference to'the use OF
cotton sacks was passed, pledging the
members to the use of articles put up in
these sacks. 1t was regret to those pres
ent that Mr.. Smith was not present, but
he was left in Columbia and 'phoned
President Crum to that effect during the
day. He offered to come on the afternoon
train, but it was decided that would be
100 late.

The board of railroad commissioners
held a meeting in Columbia Tuesday to

about the wreck of the Ogden special

testimony tended to show that the engl'
neer of the special train was alone respon-
sible for the accident, he having gone
into the Greenville yards at too hlgn a
rate of speed.

Turmoil in English Politics.
There is considerable turmoil in English poll
tics just now. 1t ali came about from the vote
on the Irish Land Commission bill a few days
ago-the defeat of the bill which had the sup
port of Conservative Prime Minister Balfour and
his administration. Now, in England the defeat
of the ministry any pet measure before FAR
lament is always construed as vote OF lack OF
confdence,' and it is expected to resign. This
Balfour has refused to do. the measure being
unimportant and only bare majority against
him. But it is expected that he will resign In
October, which means that the Conservative and
Liberal Parties will again face each other in
desperate struggle for the mastery.
The Conservative side now in the ascendency
is supposed to stand Cd for the English Educa-

whether it is to be peace in the Far East
The peace commissioners are to meet in Ports
mouth N H. within few days, and Japan pro-
noses to state its own position respectfully but
with unmistakable plainness. In the first place, she
wants billion dollars indemnity. What an enor-
NOUS amount this is may be guessed from the
fact that it would take average tax OF $oO Tor
every American family to raise it. Yet 1T Is not
excessive-only about what Japan has spent; and
the vanquished must pay the price of defeat
"Besides the indemnities," press dispatches
go on to say, "it is believed that Japan's other
essentials to the continuance of the negotia-
tions are the cession to Japan of Sakhaln; OF the
Lao Tung peninsula; and of the railway as Tar
as Harbin; the recognition of Japan's predoni-
mating influence in Korea and the return of Man
churia to China" This last-named matter-the
return of Manchuria to China-is likely to grove
about the most fruitful source of contention. ia
