RESPECT THE GULL LAW.

There seems to be quite an awaken
ing over the Virginia waters in behalf
of the oyster Gull law. We hope this
arousing does not come too late. Had
the law been observed during the past
four or five years, as now seems to be the
intent, there would have been valuable
asset on hand for the State and the
oyster people today, and not the pros
pect of a famine. Let us hope that it is
not yet too late to mend our WAYS.
The Southside Sentinel (Urbanna) last
week published a communication from a
worthy colored citizen, and adds its plea
for preservation of the young oyster.
The negro's article will bear repetition,
andhis admonition is worthy of needing,
so here it is:
EDITOR SENTINEL
Please allow space in your excellent
columns to call attention of the OYSTER
men (the tongmen) of the Rappahannock
river to the sad fact, that the lawful
oysters on the natural rocks, beds or
shoals of said river are very scarce; but
there great many seed oysters in said
waters and In order to increase the guam
tity of lawful oysters, the seed must ne
cessarily remain on the rocks.
And it being almost impossible for the
inspectors to wholly protect the rocks
without the aid of the tongers, we, the
tongmen, each and everyone, individu-
ally and jointly, should see to it that the
little oysters be raked back on the rocks
from which they are taken. BY so doing,
think the rocks will be greatly re-
plenished in a few years.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

State Board of Fisheries meets next
week in Richmond-from Tuesday to
Friday.
Dredgers and patent-tongers are the
only ones just now making any money,
and their occupation cannot profitably
last long. Dredgers on the Potomac
and in the Sounds are catching from
40 to 80 bushels per day, according to
size Of boat and crew. Market is from
40 to 80 cents.
Fishing with hook and line is better
today than it has been for many years
in streams flowing into Chesapeake
Bay, in Maryland and Virginia waters.
In fact, during the entire autumn season
the sport has been extraordinarily good.
Just why the fishing has been better
this season than in others has perplexed
the fishermen, since it has been claimed
that nets and traps were depicting the
fisheries.
Freshets the past week in Virginia
and the South have been higher than
for years. The James river flooded
lower Main. street, Richmond, for sew
eral days The excess of fresh water
already this year has been disastrous
to oysters, and this latest is expected
to kill many thousands of bushels of
large oysters and millions of little fell
lows. To what extent the high tides
and back-sea-water will overcome this
freshness it is hard to calculate.
Steamer Maury, flagship of the Vir-
ginia police, met with stormy weather
all last week on the upper bay and the
Potomac, but was active and did good
work. During the week $500 was levied
in fines, $500 of it being secured by the
Maury. The dredgers and buy-boats
were not expecting police boats around
in such weather, and were roughing
oysters in some localities. About twenty
dredgers and buy-boats were appre-
hended with unculled stock aboard.
Most of them were Marylanders. The
Maryland and Virginia boats are work.

Chairman Lee both being on the Potomac.
The people of the Potomac Greek Sec
ton, in Stafford county, and especially
the fishermen, were given a great sur
prise Wednesday by the arrival in Po-
tomac Greek of one of the steamers of
the State Board of Fisheries. This is
the first time that one of the State
steamers has ever been in Potomac
Creek within the memory of the pres
ent generation of fishermen, and its
presence there now is for the purpose
of collecting State licenses from the
owners of fish nets, etc. 1t is compare
lively new law which requires the
payment of this license, and the collec-
ton has heretofore been made by in
spectors. 1t is said that the special
object in sending the steamer there
by the Board of Fisheries is to see
that the laws are fully complied with,
and that all who operate fish nets
should pay the required license. Fred

"sAM JONES IS DEAD.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

RlchmOnd Dispatch.)
The announcement of the death of
Rev. Sam P. Jones, of Georgia, will be
read far and wide with genuine regret.
Mr.. Jones preached and lectured for
many years in various parts of the
United States, and few public speakers
of his kind have had a greater number
of devoted admirers and followers. He
had language of his own, which was
not always chaste, and some of his IL
Illustrations were far from elegant. But
he had also certain humor, which
went far toward redeeming his coarse
ness from vulgarity, and he had conse-
Grated common sense and religious fer
vor, which gave force TO his words and
carried conviction. Better than all,
Mr.. Jones had character. He was de-
nounced from time to time as vulgar
ian and sometimes as a pious fakir; but
his character was above reproach. He
lead a clean life; he was true to his
church, to his family and to his princi-
pies, and he had the courage which is
born of sincerity and righteousness, and
which fears not to face an accusation.
The courage of Sam Jones looked out
through his honest eyes, and no man
who sat under his preaching and looked
into his countenance could doubt either
his bravery or his honesty. He was a
bold and relentless fighter, he accepted
no compromises with rum or rottenness;
and he guaranteed salvation to none
who would not promise to quit his
meanness. Whatever may be said OF
his methods. he preached the gospel of
cleanliness and decency, of fidelity to
obligations, especially the marriage
vow, and the doctrine. without compro-
mise or qualification, that no intemser-
ate, dishonest or unclean man could see
the kingdom of God. In some respects
we regard him as the strongest preacher
of his day and generation, and his TAX
ing off is distinct loss to the cause of
religion.

Two of the chief themes of can.

/. Two of the chief themes of can
didate Swanson's campaign last year
were good roads and better schools.
We have seen bis influence In the
latter-and his hand is not yet stayed
and he is just as aggressive in the
matter of roads, though that is
much more tedious and difficult
proposition. Takes longer to make
showing of anything being done.
Like the Governor, we have always
believed the general government
should lend hand in road building.
The South is drained for tariffs and
pensions and little is returned in the
way of paternal patronage in COM
parison with other sections, so it is
little enough that the government
should help us on highway improve
ment. Governor Swanson hasrecently
returned from Washington, and here
is the result of his asking help to
build public roads IN Virgins:
81 had talk with Secretary Wilson,
of the department of agriculture, under
whose jurisdiction is the bodybuilding
done by the government. Mr.. Wilson
told me that he would do all in his power
towards building the road from Williams
burg to jamestown and from the limits
of the city of Norfolk to the exposition
grounds. Mr.. Wilson directed Highway
Commissioner Page to put all the avail
able force on the two projects, to send
machines, engines and all the latest APP
pliances for road work to the two places
and to do all that he could to build roads
that would mean so much to the people
of the State and to the visitors to the
exposition. The roads are to be built.
the government to take hand and to
rush things to have all in readiness for
the opening. That was what went to
Washington for, and am delighted at
the cordial manner in which the secre-
tary of the agricultural department
responded to my request in this connec-
ton. The boulevard from Norfolk to
the expositionis to be mammoth under
taking. 1t will be about 100 feet wide,
with double car tracks in the center and
n drive on either side. One side will be
macadamized and the other is to be the
improved dirt road, made by mixing
sand and clay, and then burning it in
such manner that it is said to make a
finer road than the macadam. This is
to be an experiment on the part of the
government and will be for the benefit
of the various counties of the State, for
:. the government officials say that the
road can be built for from $500 to 81 ZOO
mile, and that the experiments made
in Mississippi have been pronounced
success, and that in Virginia all the con-
ditions are more favorable than in Mis-
sissippi, the quality of the clay being
better.
