FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

Judge Ingram has appointed w. d.
Cardwell, former Speaker of the House
of Delegates, and r. T. Winston, re-
ceivers of the Bone Island Oyster Com
pany, doing business in Northampton
county. The receivers are directed to
continue the business, take possession,
sell the merchantable oysters, and to use
a part of the proceeds for paying oys-
ter rentals to the State.
Prominent Virginia newspapers are
treating the necessity of new oyster
legislation in an editorial way. When
popular sentiment is once aroused We
lawmakers will sit up and take notice
even the "up country" members will
come with him for the making of a
just and equitable law that meets the
case of the planter and the longer. =

In OUR humble judgment the State
Corporation Commission has done
the wise thing in refusing to raise
the tax assessments on railroads in
this State. We fear the pendulum
is swinging too far in the persecution
of the roads. Pending the court
decision on the two-cent rate matter,
the agreement Governor Swanson had
with the railroads (by which we are
deriving the benefit of two-cent
passenger rate) should be the extent
of coercion, especially in the present
stringent crisis, and the Corporation
Commission takes this view of 1T
when denying the motion of Attor-
ney-General Anderson to raise the
assessable values on railroads in our
State. Regulation and not persecu-
ton should be our attitude towards
the railroads. We fear, however,
that not-over-scrupulous politicians
have so infiamed the public against
railroads that the next Legislature
will be hard to hold in leash. Two
things are certain-the railroads can
do without the South, but the South
cannot do without railroads. Let us
bear these In mind and move dis
creetly.

AND THE BEARS GRIN.

Financial stringency" is a term to
be conjured with. Have you been to
your bank recently and asked an ordi-
nary accommodation, and been refused
on the above ground? 1t is the loophole
for the cashier to get out of the build
ing without black-eye.
1t is not that our own crops are indif-
ferent for this year, the yield of corn
has never been better for the Kappa
hannockites, nor that the succulent
bivalve has shown the greens" Our
boats, small fishing craft, leak no more
than their wont, nor are our sails torn
much worse than they were last year.
1t is our sad duty to inform those who
decipher our briefly printed pages type
set up mostly by your poor editor while
you sleep solemn on feather mattress)
that the proposed railroad from Ashland
to the Rappahannock has been delayed.
For why? Financial stringency. How
so? Ask the stars, probably kick back
by Theodotious Taurus r. to make the
Milky Way less prominent when one
gazes at Saturn.
As we formerly printed in an article,
the mechanism of the proposed cars is
to be furnished by the Westinghouse
Electrical Company. A part of these
insulated bodies had been delivered and
a sum somewhat over million paid out.
Unfortunately they failed to develop
the required speed and were returned.
And then? The big firm of Westing-
house fails, absolutely solvent, yet
financial stringency puts damper on.
Come, little children, gather around and
L will tell you all about the hears.

THE MONEY PANIC.
Big concerns go TO she Wall. aud
the Financial World gets Shaky.

What looks much like panic through
out the country has been brewing some
time. Those on the inside have known
for months that the banks have not
been eager to lend; they have been hus-
banding their resources. Last week a
crash came in Wall Street that has been
felt even in the far south. One con-
Germ busted" for eight millions, and
another for six. Morgan and Rock
efeller went to the rescue and Secre.
tary of the Treasury Cortelyou poured
about fifteen millions of government
money into the market. The banks as
far south as Baltimore nave pooled is
sues, and it is now thought the panic is
stayed and there will be no more
failures.

of some of the citizens of the counties

though the pardoning by Governor
Swanson is commended by large
majority of the people. To them he
has seemed as "more siuued against

1t is not hard to discover the
grounds upon which the pardon was

his wife and daughters are now in the
