JUDICIoUsLY sorry, personally

Of Judge Blackstone to the Cover
nor when he found himself in a

spoke" Poor, indeed. A better man
hood-and we expected it of him
would have prompted apology when
he found the dots fastened on him.

Good officials execute the laws and
give good government. Apropos.
we modestly call attention 10 another
efficient officer, Lancaster's Com.
monwealths Attorney. Mr.. Newbill,
who during the last term of the
court secured convictions in some of
the hardest liquor cases we have
ever had. Slngle-handed, he won
against an array of able counsel
backed by an element that is ever
present when evil is on the rack,
His efforts are pronounced as superb
aud surprising (to some), and it is
r-gretable that good citizens and
temperance people do not rally IN
their spokesman, when they know
The other side is on hand and en-
deavoring to create a public senti.
ment in favor of law breakers.

one. The State Board of Fisheries will
hold its next meeting here on Wednes-
day when a number of matters
of Importance will be taken up for con-
sideration. Speaking of the meeting
of the Board here this week and the
oyster situation in general, w. Nc
Donald Lee, the chairman of the Board,
In an interview said: cit has been the
desire of the Board from the first to
have an office in Hampton permanently,
properly cared for by clerk, but the
meagre appropriation at the boards
command, allowed by the State, did not
permit it. We hope for better favor at
the hands of the next Legislature and
will then have our regular office in
Hampton. From all quarters | hear
good reports and promises for a pro-
ductive oyster season, as the result of
two summers close patrolling. Tong
ing begins next Monday, the 18th fall
ling on Sunday, when following our u.s.
ual custom, some of the watch boats
and steamers will be withdrawn and
the inspectors will become active in
seeing that the laws are enforced
throughout the waters of the State. -
