MI. soosevsis rs the Issue

| The clarion call of Senator Beye-
ridge comes from the woods Of Maine.
The Republican Congressional cam
psign was opened Wednesday at Port
land with noise like pulling a cork
out of bottle. The eloquent anc de-
bonair young orator from Indiana set
forth the issues Of the campaign. And
to what did he point as the paramount
issue? Net to the regulation Of the
trusts; he braveIy passed that by. Not
to the revision of the tariff; it is ques-
ton of little importance to him. But
in these words he sets forth the great
issues upon which the campaign is to
be fought:
Do you believe in Theodore Roose-
welt? That is the question. If you do
you will elect Congressman and Sena-
tors who will support him.
Mr.. Roosevelt has played the role of
police ommissioner, reformer, author
rinchmap, Governor, President. He
has felt at times that he was the Sen
ate, Houee and all the departments
rolled into one. But his bosom must
swell if his head does not, as he real
ICES that in tlais campaign he is the
issue, with great big characteristic
"I.n
People will no longer think it strange
that President of the United states
descends from his high office to write
partisan appeal and plunge into petty
politics. When man is walking
breathing issue, he has a right to write
ABOUT it,; and Mr.. Roosevelt never
could miss a chance to write about
himself
Charles A. Edwards, the pugna-
cious secretary of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, throwns hot
shot into the issue. He asserts that
the well known Mr.. Roosevelt is a
"blutfer," a "fakir," and gives him
the proud title of "the biggest four
fiusher in the country Those who
understand what the Republican motto
''standpat' means may be familiar
with this other phrase, which is also
said to be derived from the ancient
game of. draw poker. Has Mr.. Ed
wards done the great human Issue an
injustice? If the country should "calF'
Mr.. Roosevelt's hand, would it expose
to the waiting world the terrible dis
grace of a flour flush, whatever that
may mean?
Mr.. Beveridge asserts that Mr.. Roose-
welt is the issue.
Mr.. Edwards varies this little by
insisting that the real question is
whether.Mr. Roosevelt is a"four flush

disagree at times. Baltimore Sun.

There was quite large meeting in
the Court house, last Saturday, fol: the
purpose indicated by the Democrat of
last week namely, to consider the men
aces to the peach industry in the county
Arising from the "yellow' and brown,
rot" In the absence of Mr.. Clohan,
The president of the Horticultural Sc
ciety, the meeting was called to order

Mr.. d. Gold Miller, was made Secre-
tary, DR.. Sheldon of the Morgantown

affected trees.
Mr.. d. Gold Miller gave practical
illustration Of the damage to the pres
ent crop from brown rot, in his midi
vidusl case.
He had shipped a ear load of peaches
to Philadelphia, which be expected 10
yield him from 81 80 to 800 per crate,

A Furnace For The HOspi al

There is an unaccountable lack of in

American and Scotch SONGS.

The Americans have no love for
Scotch songs. They cannot make
head or tail of the language, and they
are frank enough to confess it. In
Chicago Watkins Mills was called up
on by handful of Scotchmen to sing
Hatton's rollicking ditty, The Mar
riage of Shon Maclean,' but when the
song was over the applause came ex-
clusively from the men who demanded
it. The other members of the audi
ence looked blankly at the singer and
wondered TO gracious what on earth
he had been talking about" What
does he mean by every piper was
flu ?" asked a puzzled Chicagoan OF
one of the Scotchmen in the inter-
val. Flu means full" was the re-
ply. Well snapped the practical
ana unpicturesque native of the pork
country, land what's the matter with
the whole word, anyhow
Watkins Mills tells, by the way, a
very funny story in connection with
this same song. AS he sang it one
night from the stage of theatre In
British Columbia, he was conscious
all the while of a kind of suppressed
commotion proceeding from a private
box on his left, and whenever he turn
ed his eyes in the direction of the
whispered disturbance, he saw two
faces expressing the very essence OF
establishment. First the faces stared
at him; then they stared at each 9TH
er; then again at the singer-mingled
with the look of amazement was a
decided suggestion of annoyance. One
face was that of pretty woman, the
other that of a handsome man; and
Watkins Mills noticed that the as
constituent depicted in them grew
deeper every time he sang the words
"Shon Maclean." This was apparent
ly all they recognized in the ditty-
but why should these persons be more
unset about his Scotch than any one
else? When the concert was over
the singer got an explanation of the
mystery. The male occupier of the
box. whose name was John Macklin.
and who had that morning been Sc
cretly married to the lady with him,
went round to Watkins Mills in the
artists room and wanted to know how
he knew of their marriage and what
right he had to shout about it in public,

more & Ohio between Magnolia and
Paw Paw about o'clock Thursday
evening delayed traffic in both direc-

were late in their arrival here from the
west until midnight. Five cars were
derailed, and they were sprawled over
all the tracks. No one was injured,
and the wreck was cleared away short
ly before midnight.
Upon request of prominent citizens
of Texas, the negro troop were with
drawn from Fort Brown, in that
state, and sent elsewhere. The reason
for the appeal to the war department
was that serious friction had developed

Brownsville, Texas. which it was fear
ed might lead to unpleasant results.

the news on Friday, that his mother,
who lives in Caroline County, Va. had
fallen down flight of steps, and broke

her. The Rev. Paca Kennedy, who is

TEXAS TROPICAL OYSTERS
A Bivaive That Can Be Eaten In the
Summer Months.

|
| The fact is not generally known,
( even in Texas, that the tropical oyster.
| which is entirely different in appear
| ance and habits from the oysters found
J in the markets OF this country, Is sue
( cessfully raised along the extreme
| Southern Gulf Coast of that State.
F, w. Seabury, Speaker Of the Texas
House Of Representatives, who has
made study of oysters for several
years, says in regard to this tropical
breed of oysters:
The oyster which is grown in the
vicinity of Point Isabel and along the
Gulf coast as far as short distance
below Corpus Christi is tropical BIZ
valve and Of wholly different species
from the oysters along other portions
of the Texas coast and Atlantic sea-
( board. The Point Isabel oyster is
eaten during the Summer season, COM
/ mencing about the LIST of May, the
! season lasting till about the LIST OF
September. This tropical oyster be-
gins to spawn in September, which
is just at the time the oysters north
Of here become fit for eating. The
Point Isabel oyster spawns in Fall
and Winter, and the Northern oyster,
even those of Corpus Christi and Port
Layaca, spawn in Summer. The Point
Isabel oyster can be eaten in any OF
the months not containing the letter
r. The reverse is true of other oys-
ters.
The fact that the Point Isabel oys-
ter has a season entirely different
from that Of other oysters should
make it in demand, and l look for a
great industry to be built I'D in cul-
tlvating and shipping these bivalves.
The Laguna Madre, where the Point
| Isabel oyster is grown, affords a splen
did place for oyster beds. The la
COON is four or five miles wide, and
the water is highly impregnated with
salt, which insures the growth OF
good oysters. With direct railroad
connection with the outside world
there is no reason why an immense
oyster shipping business should not
be built UP at Point Isabel
"Of course the people would have
to be educated into eating oysters
during the hot months of Summer, but
| believe that could easily be done.
| know Of my own knowledge that
these oysters form a most palatable
dish on the hottest days of Summer.
/ have eaten them many times. In
Brownsville these oysters are the prin-
cipal food for many people all Sum-
mer long. There is fine opportu-
nifty awaiting some enterprising per-
son to plant oyster beds in the La
gunA Madre, in the Point Isabel re-
gion. 1t will bring a big fortune to
whoever undertakes it. These trop-
ical oysters are far better than the
| other Texas oysters. They are small
er than the Corpus Christi, Port La
vaca, or Galveston oysters. and more
resemble the famous Blue Points
Oyster roasts have been a popular
form of entertainment for long time
during the Summer months at Point
Isabel"
The fish and oyster laws contain
a provision exempting oysters from
a certain point below Corpus Christi
from the operation of that provision
which prohibits their shipment and
sale during the months which do not
contain the letter It" This exemp-
ton was placed on the bill through
the effort of Mr. Seabury.
