Fisheries Bureau Expert.

T. E. B. Pope, an oyster expert, con-

United States government, has COM
pIeted thorough inspection OF the
oyster reefs in Mississippi Sound, and
has made an interesting report. to the
government thereon, says the Jackson
News.
Mr.. Pope gives his unqualified ap-
proval to the methods of propagation
being carried on by the Mississippi
Oyster Commission. He carefully in
spected the reefs and beds where shells
have been planted during the past few
years and found oysters rapidly matur-
ing and with every indication that they
will reach marketable value.
During the past few weeks, or since
the close of the oyster fishing season
on the tst of May, the Mississippi Com
mission has had several vessels employed
at planting shells, over 100000 barrels
having been used, and the report O

THE SUNDAY LAWS.
From The Jackson News:

From The Jackson News:
The citizens of Meridian, Biloxi and a
number of other towns in the state where
blue law statutes are enforced on Sum-
day are invited to ponder over this ex-
tract from decision recently rendered
by the New York Court Of Appeals:
"When it is considered that nowhere
outsids of the British Isles has the Old
Testament notion of a still Sabbath ever
existed in the Christian world, it is i'm
possible to attribute to the aggregate
Christian mind, as rather fairly repre-
sented in our legislature, with such
varied national lineage in its member
ship, any such purpose.
"Christians of no nation, church or
sect ever entertained the Old Testament
notion of a still Sabbath, but favored
and ptacticed innocent and healthy ex-
ercises and amusements after church on
Sunday. John Knox visited John Calvin
on Sunday afternoon at Geneva and
found him out back at a game of bowls
on the green.
To the everlasting credit of the mum
icipal authorities in jackson it must be
said that they have always given sane
and reasonable enforcement OF the Sun
dav 6gatutes. Sunday like other days
of thd week, was made for all men, and
It is not proper t6at few narrow-minded
folks should compel strict, narrow con-
ception Of statutory measures, con.
cepticn in accordance with their owr
habits, but in conflict with the habits o.
others.
This is q matter to which the legisla'
ture should direct its intention at th'
next session. It is absurd to keep stat
utes On the books that cannot be en-
