Tic Lay of tl,o Hen

Investigation of the capacity of hens
10 lay eggs results in the discovery
That the egg production of hens de-
rreascs considerably after the age of
Tour years. Thus hen lays at the
age of one year about 20 eggs; Mt the
age of two years, about 100; at the
age OF three years, about 49,; Mt the
age Of four years, about lis; Mt the
age of five years, about so, and at the
age of six years, about 60. These fig
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years, for after the lapse of this
time they do not yield Il proper return
on the food they consume.

Deep Water Oystermen Gel q De.
cIsl0n Against Them.
STATE BOARD MEETS IN HAMPTON
In Formal Report the Fisheries
Commission Says That There is
Room Enough for Both industries
Without Conflicting.

AT its meeting in Hampton yes
terday the State Board of Fisheries
handed down decision refusing
The application OF Il number of per-
sons for privileges for deep water
oyster planting between Cape Henry
and Ocean View.
The opinion was given by State
Chairman W. Mcdonald Lee, and
was as follows:
The chairman ana secretary OF
the board, to whom the matter was
referred for deep water planting
purposes, have heard the petitioners
through their respective counsel anu
the evidence OF disinterested parties,
and also tie several interests that
opposed the granting of deep water
lotions between Ocean View and
Cape 1tenry. principal among them
the menhudan and pound-net fishers
and the grabbing interests, have
submitted the results of their de.
alterations TO the board.
1T is the decision OF this board
tnat- while the petitioners for deep
water bottoms are not unreasonable
IL their requests, from the stand.
point OF oyster culture, and are act
ing within the rights and privileges
permitted by special laws, (Which
statute, however, leaves it optional
with the board TO grant or refuse
such petitions,) the board deems
lnadvisable at this time to grant
any of said petitions. This decision
Is reached chiefly because OF the
embryonic stage of the hard crab
industry prior requests which though
rejected, cannot be entirely ignored,
when considering the question now:
the problcmatical action by the next
legislature in respect to taxing and
regulating the hard crab industry,
and the disturbing of existing fish
cry tenures at the beginning of
another season.
The board is Of the opin.on that
Grabbing, fishing and Clustering priv.
leges- within this territory should in
the near future be better distributed,
and it will ut the proper time advise
legislation to that end, whereby each
OF the three interests named may
share in the occupancy and fruits of
one of the most desirable of our wa,
ter possessions.
1T is the opinion of this board
that the State has not heretofore
derived adequate revenue from the
occupancy of shores between Ocean
View and Cape Henry. and that the
inspectors in these localities be, ana

it seemed certain that funds would not

GOOD ROADS IN SUMTER

The fact that a few convicts
escape from the Jail, Or break away
while at work on the highways,
should in nowise discourage or
check the movement for good
roads in Sumter county. More
vigilance, safer quarters, or an in
creased guard, will doubtless be
adequate to prevent escapes. A
great onward movement like that
for good roads should net be
deferred simply because some
criminals take desperate chances
and make their way temporarily
to liberty.
Good roads are an absolute
necessity to-day in progressive
community. The farmers need
them, the business men need them,
the general public need them. The
farmer is, more than any one else,
benefited by the creation of solid
and safe highways. Through that
medium he is enabled to save time
in his trip to market, he is able to
haul much greater quantity of
cotton or other prod of his
plantation, and the wear and
tear on his wagon and stock is
lessened. He is decidedly the
gamer for every days work that
is put in on the county roads. No
one should be a more persistent
advocate of goods roads than he,
for he is undoubtedly the CHIEF
beneficiary.
There is no more important work
than that done for the creation oil
strong public sentiment in favor
Of good roads. The man who agi
tates for good roads is a public
benefactor. He may not be-
appreciated as such at the time
but eventually the people realize
that he has been working for th'
benefit of all, that his services have
been of vast assistance to tn,

WORK FOR AMERlCUS TO DAY.

Elsewhere we publish a number
of brief interviews with leading
business men relative to the ques
tions before the voters of Americas
at the election to-day.
Lack of space and time prevented
the publication of more extended
and more numerous interviews a.
long this line. 1t would have
been no difficult matter to have
secured expressions of similar
opinions from a couple of hundred
of the leading men of Americas,
men who are vitality interested in
the future welfare of the city and
eager to see it progress and
improve in every possible way.
AS far as the Times Recorder has
been able to ascertain by careful
inquiry, there is practically no
opposition to the propositions that
come before the voters for their
decision to-day. The law requires
that there be a tWo-t third afirma-
tive vote. 1t should be no
difficult matter to secure this.
All that is necessary is for those
who feel a deep interest in the
development of Americas to go to
the polls and vote andIinduce their
friends to do likewise.
The vast majority Of our pro-
gressive men will do so. The
opinion is generally held that it is
absolutely necessary that Americas
make decided forward step, that
itput itself right before the world
as progressive town, and that to
do this it is necessary for il to
secure modern paved highways in
its business district, provide
adequate accommodations for the
school children, obtain a lighting
and power system meeting the
requirements of a growing city,
and secure the many benefits that
would accrue from a street
electric railway, opening up new
territory for the home builders.
There is no mistake that to-day
is an important day in the history
of Americas. The decision of the
people at polls will either be for a
progressive Americas or against
it, for a city of life and growth or
a city that is content to sit still and
take whatever fortune may see fit
to give it.
1t is your duty, if YOU wish to
see Americas move forward, to go
to the polls.and vote for the things
that will tend to put the city on
the upward grade, and induce
you friends and associates to do
likewise.

New Postal Law.

department officials are looking for

into effect of the law permitting the
transmission of letters and packages
for special delivery where the neces-
sary ten cent postage is not, attached
in addition to the ordinary postage
The law will become effective July l
next, and is intended to do away with
the necessity for the usual special de-
livery stamp. 1t is believed at the
department that a considerable in
crease of business will result. The
Importance of such a law was first
suggested to the department by Rev.
William E. Parsons, of this city, in
1905. At that time, Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Degraw, was
in charge of the city delivery service
of the government, and he urged
Postmaster General Cortelyou to rec
ommend favorable action by congress.
