A Brandon News Article.

A clipping from The Brandon News
which was published in the Post
yesterday evening, does not have the
endorsement of the editor of the Post
OF course, this is the case with many
articles that we publish. but in regard
to this particular article we wish to
disavow endorsement. -Vicksburg
Post.
We are sorry indeed to see the
Post take a back track. The article
from The Brandon News was pub
1ished in the Challenge and was GER
tainly the truth so far as we know
The article only stated that it looked
like the Commercial Appeal and the
New Orleans Picayune were con-
trolled and dominated by the railroad
corporations and that these papers
were very Jealous supporters of Hon.
Chas Scott. The Post published it as
a news item but some railroad bench
man cams along aud called their
attention to it and, like the other
cowardly dailies, they had to
apologize for it. 1t looks as If the
railroads own the entire state, and if
you are not on their band wagon you
are not Sin it" After all it's the
same old story, and the corporations
generally,,come out ahead. Clarksdale

PERTAINS TO CONGRESS.

The first session of the seth Congress
adjourned Saturday evening last.
Among some of the important bills
passed at this session were the Railroad
rate bill, Free Alcohol bill, Pure Food
bill and the appropriation for the James
town Exposition. Congress managed
to get away with 1892, 600, 600, at this
half session.
Senator's Daniel and Martin, of vir-
ginia, called on President Roosevelt
last week to thank him for his interest
IN the jamestown exposition, the APP
preparation for which has been permitted
to remain in the sundry civil bill by
both House and Senate, and which will
become available upon the signing OF
the bill by the President.
The Democrats have won some not.
able victories in Congress this year.
They have beaten the Santo Domingo
treaty, the bills for the construction OF
a ten-million-dollar battleship, for ship
subsidy, and for forcing Arizona and
New Mixco into joint statehood. They
have forced the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory into the union, the
bill depriving trust officials of immunity
from punishment, the railroad rate bin,
etc. The Democrats have been beaten,
however, on some veryimportant meas
ures, including the Tillman bill to pre-
vent contributions by corporations to
corruption funds, the bill to pay Mr..
Roosevelt's circle-swinging expenses,
the Bailey and La Toilette amendments
to the railroad rate bill, and the confir-
nation of Barnes.

GOVERNOR GIVES BURTON A SHOT,
Richmond Times-Dispatch.,

NhicntnOnu IlmeS-D1Spatch.)
While Governor Swanson is an ex-
ceedingly kind-hearted man, he yet has
no semblance of patience with wrong
doors. His Excellency has shown this
on many occasions since he has occupied
the gubernatorial chair, and it cropped
out again yesterday, when he .'handed
out strong package" to one A. Chad
wick Burton, whose chief claim to dis
tinction in these parts is his conviction
on the charge of obtaining money from
various citizens upon the pretext that
he was working in the interest of the
Epworth League. The Governor was
seated in his Office about one o'clock,
surrounded by newspaper men wher
the Burton subject was brought up.
III act on that case now," he said,
at the same time ringing for his secre-
tary. ''Put this endorsement on Bur.
tons application" he said, and the
secretary wrote:
''The application of A. Chadwick
Burton for pardon is this day refused.
There is nothing whatsoever in this ap-
phcation to recommend itself for ex-
ecutive clemency. Considering the re-
cent offenses of the prisoner, and his
many offenses of this kind in the past,
he has been dealt with very lightly,
and / shall not interfere with the
penalty imposed"
This is the whole story, and Burton
must continue to ''do time" in the city

FISH and OYSTER NOTES.

Many fishing vessels have been
wrecked in recent times because of in
applicable errors of the compass. This
has led to the discovery that the knives
commonly used by fishermen are a
positive danger TO navigation. The
usual large knife possesses magnetic
properties SO powerful that in the
pocket of a man at the, wheel it will
defect the needle two or three points.
The present Board of Fisheries, awake
to the interests of all concerned, have
recently appointed two policemen to
patrol the waters of the seaside of
Accomac and Northampton counties
during the closed season. The oyster
Inspector, with the police, has taken TO
the water for the purpose of licensing
those who are claiming without the
proper authority. -Chincoteague Oys-
terman.
On his way to Norfolk from the Tap
pahannock festivities last week Cover
nor Swanson and party, aboard the
State boat Accomac, stopped at the
blue-fish fishing grounds off Back river
for few hours and had fine sport with
the taylors. The party caught two
hundred of the game fish ina few hours,
the Governor getting his share. The
next day the party-minus the Cover
nor-went back and beat the record of
the day before.
The heart Of the oyster has been
located variously. But if you open an
oyster very carefully, you will see
a transparent, crescent-shaped space
between the muscle and the visceral
mass. This is the pericardium of the
bivalve. If the delicate membranes
which forms it's sides be carefully cut
away, the heart may be found in this
cavity, pulsating slowly. If the oyster
is opened roughly, or if it has been out
of the water sometime, the rate of
beating may be as slow as one minute,
or even less. The heart must be care
fully watched for some time if one
would see these contractions. The
OySCerman.
While making his official rounds and
cruising the Potomac this week on the
Virginia Police steamer Accomac the
Chairman of the Board of Fisheries
came upon four Maryland boats scrap
ing Tor dredging) oysters just above
Nomini Creek, Westmoreland county.
1t was about sunrise Monday morning,
and from the load they had on they
must have been working all night, and
possibly some of the day Sunday. At
ter number of rifle shots the boats hove
to, and were taken to Bushwood, Nd,
and turned over to the Maryland au-
thorities. The law between the two
states requires that Marylanders caught
depredating in the Potomac shall be
taken to that State for trial, and Vir-
ginians to Virginia.
