STATE AID FOR OYSTER
INDUSTRY.

should not only be utilized by the state
for the good Of the whole, but it should
be surveyed and plated, and that terri
tory which the state does not utilize in
the establishment of new beds should be
authorized by proper legislation and
under restrictions to prevent monopo-
lies, leased to individuals for an annual
rental.''
The board recommends that the legis-
lature may enact law autorizing this
board to have such survey made Of this
territory and leased to individuals for a
short term Of years in the beginning and
thereafter annually for the establishment
of private beds.
Other recommendations are: change
in the wording of the present law 50 as
to describe the width as well as the
length of the smallest sized oysters that
may be taken, making the width not less
than one-half inch; the fixing of 600
oysters as constituting barrel; the pas
sage of a law which will enable the in
spector to inspect the books of the ex
press companies to find out the number
of buckets of oysters shipped by any
one shipper; and amendments in the
present law prohibiting dredging of any
sort in the Bay St. Louis north of the
bridge, or in the Bay of Biloxi.
The board asks for an extra appropria-
ton of $4,000 in addition to the regular
appropriation in order thatit may estab-
lish new reefs and asks that the tax be
increased from two to three cents per
barrel.
Appended to the report of the board
is the report of the chief inspector, r.
NJ. Mosley, containing valuable data.
Report shows that there were planted in
1906 447 ,413 barrels of shell at cost of
S32, ,S47.77, and in 1907 95, 900 barrels, at
a cost of S4795. The two per cent barrel
tax furnished from October 1905 to May
1906, s12, ,1o0.55. This was from 605,0 ,024
barrels of oysters. From September
1906 to May 1907 the tax amounted to
$89l1.7S. This was from 445, ,588 q bar
rells of oysters. The total amount re-
ceived for boat and skiff licenses amount
ed to S8018.50.
With regard to shell planting of which
project Mr.. Mosley is known to be an
enthusiastic and ardent supporter, he
says:
"From the success of shell planting
for the formation of the new beds and
reefs, which is known to your commits
sion, and from the fact that there is
practically an unlimited area of bottom
and water suitable for such planting, |
do not hesitate to say that more and
more shells should be planted eachasuc-
ceeding year. On the beds artificially
formed from the planting of shells, oys-
ters are formed and grow, many of them
to the size required by law in as short
time as eighteen months. However,
these beds should not be fished until as
many of the small and immature oysters
are destroyed in the process of fishing
and dredging"
Mr.. Mosley also makes recommended
tions as to the passage of laws calculated
to prevent evlsion of the two-cent tax.

PROHIBITION BILL PASSES HOUSE.
Churches and Druggists AIoue win Have the
Right to Dispense Wine and Alcohol Under
the Law.

The Lower House of the Mississippi
Legislature yesterday passed the Pro-
hibition Bill unanimously, and it is ex-
pected that the Senate viii do likewise
Tuesday morning; in fact, this is a
foregone conclusion.
The bill is about as close and thor
ough measure as could be drawn, and,
as stated by Chairman Anderson, of the
Liquor Traffic Committee, when enforced
as the law will direct, should eliminate
liquor from the State as a marketable
commodity, to be sent by one part of
the State to the other.
1t absolutely prohibits the manufac-
ture, sale, barter, or giving away, to
induce trade, vinous, alcoholic, malt, or
spirituous liquors, or intoxicating Bit
ters, which, if drank to excess, will pro-
duce intoxication.
The only exceptions are wine and
alcohol, in certain specified cases, and
these can only be dispensed by licensed
druggist, and in quantities not less than
a gallon, except in the case of physi-
clans prescription. The compounding
druggists are to keep record OF these
prescriptions, and at the end of each
month they are to be filed for record
with the channery clerk, which record
shall be subject to inspection at any
time by any authorized officer of the
law.
The same restrictions must hedge
about the procuring of wine for sacra-
mental purposes, which can only be OBJ
tained by a minister IN charge of a
church or congregation, or some known
and certified officer thereof, and no other
persons.
This law, if it passes the Senate and
receives the approving signature of the
Governor, will be in effect on and after
Dec. 81, 1908, after which the liquor
traffic will be outlawed in the State, and
it will be seen how the new order of
things will work. Restrictive measures
will be taken to curtail, as far as posi-
BILE, the Importation of liquors from nom
prohibition States, and the prohibition
lists believe that they will win out on
that line, without absolutely trenching
to far on the private rights of individu-
ais.

LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE CUTS SALARIES
OF ALI Employees Earning More Than $3.50
Month--In Line With Policy Of Retrenehment.

A press telegram from Louisville
Wednesday says the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad has reduced the salaries
OF all employees making more than $3.50
per month. Those receiving s400 and
over are cut 10 per cent, while those
making more than $3.50 and less than
S400 suffer reduction of per cent.
The reduction will take effect with the
current month. 1t is hoped by the offi-
cial5 of the road that no further reduce
ton is necessary, but this will depend
upon the earnings of the road for the
month of February. Business improved
somewhat during January, but during
December, as compared with the net
earnings for December, 1905, there was
falling off of more than 100000.

Public Printer Charles StilIings was
suspended Wednesday by order OF the
President, pending an investigation OF
the manner in which the affairs of the
big government printing shop have
been conducted. William S. Rossiter,
chief clerk of the census bureau, was
named to act temporarily in his stead.
Mr.. Stillings has been fought bitterly
by organized labor, and the fist an
noun aent of his suspension was made
by the President to the local committee
of the Central Labor Union at the
White House. In addition to this there
have been grave charges of irregulari-

alleged relations with the Audit Com

our new YORK LETTER.
Correspondence Sea Coast Echo.

Correspondence Sea Coast Echo.
Your correspondent has been asked
to write articles on "what New York
thinks of John Rockefeller's arrest
and Mark Twain's return from Europe
always obliging here, it is nothing.
The writer ningles with as many peo-
pie and asks as many questions, hears
as much going on - keeps abreast of
everything-as any individual in this
great city, and, to be candid, neither of
the two subjects have been mentioned,
discussed or heard of, excepting, of
course, the articles in the papers that
the fellows fill with and get two dollars
column for writing. Away from New
York, people naturally imagine the en-
tire city is all agog over such matters
as the two mentioned and others, but
not so-far from it. There is less gos-
sip, less discussion, on such things, less
interest, than anywhere on the face of
the globe. Of course, the 'penny-a-
liners" fill in much stuff. People read
it here; they thipk no more of it. Else
where they read, remember, inwardly,
digest, discuss, etc. Why? simply for
lack of time here. Elsewhere, because
time hangs heavily on the hands of
many; still others have an idea tits a
way to keep abreast of the times. Some
thinE hocuuca in tina noparc oyorv opo
is discussing, and they must too.
There is no hero worship here. A man
is valued at his worth, be it small or
large. The multimillionaire cuts no
more figure going in and out, moving
hither and thither, than the mechanic
or merchant. In politics it is the same,
only the dollars drawn from some enti-
tie them to little recognition, but this
is usually in private and not publicly.
Grover Cleveland visited the city last
year. Several hotels were visited; all
"full up'', and the EXP esident had to
cross to Brooklyn for Judgement for
the night. There is neither aristocracy
nor peasantry here. ga mons mon
for a. that
Elsewhere he or she rolling in wealth
or rejoicing in honors is eyed as he
moves along - envied, extolled; the
crowds here prevent this in New York,
and the wealthy will confide to you that
their wealth affords them little pleasure.
They have it in their power to buy any
thing they want, but they want but lit
tie; the poorer person wants and needs,
but has not the where-withal to pur-
chase with; the rich, the cash; but
don't, as rule, need anything. 1t is a
truth, New York is different in all these
respects from any other SPOT on earth.
Fame and renown do not count here, a
one would think. Mark Twain is lion
ized at dinners, but not elsewhere; the
washwoman for her nickle gets as good
a seat on the cars as he does, and the
crowds iostle the two and step on their
toes just as they do other mortals.
Things and people apparently creating
a stir-furore here Gn the papers)-are
not doing SO in the public mind COT New
York;.

THE PURPOSE OF THE MESSAGE.

What is thought in Washington of the
purpose of the presidents message is
summarized by the New York Suns
Washington correspondent:
To bring about the presidents renom-
ination.
To give the Republican national con-
vention the option of nominating Taft
or taking Roosevelt for third term.
To frighten Congress into enacting
legislation in line with the presidents
policies.
To detract from the effect of Governor
Hughes speech.
To blow off little steam.
To answer the attacks of the news
papers, magazines and public men.

FIRST NUrlBER OF "THE ISSUE"
EDITOR JAMES K. vARDAMAN, JACKSON, MISS

Retiring from public office and being
dropped from the official payroll does
not, in ihe least, lessen my love for and
interest in the people of Mississippi.
Every foot in the dear old state is dear
to me, every living human soul within
it's borders has legitimate claim upon
my heart.
To serve them is the highest purpose
of my life-to promote their well-being,
the motive of my every act, the inspira-
,tion of every ambition and the substance
.of my every deed.
NV life has been devoted to- public
affairs for the past twenty-five years.
The last four years have occupied a
coign-of vantage where l might see and
know what is best for the state.
For four years no thought entered my
mind. no questions engaged my atten-
tion. except chose touching the public
and private lives of the people OF Mis-
sissippi.
tt occurred to me on retiring from

public Office that might serve my coun-
try best through the medium of news
paper-therefore, you have 'The Issue"
In the management of this paper,
shall endeavor to do right-not only for
myself, but for others.
The truth regarding public affairs shall
be told-men in public life will be treated
as public questions, measurers shall be
dissected, analyzed and presented in all
their phases as my sense of duty to the
public may lead me to DO.
"The Issue" will not be a local publ
cation for the city of Jackson or the
State of Missississippi, but it is my pur-
pose to make jt national Issue.
/ shall endeavor to deserve the conf
dence and respect of all the people.
If succeed in that, am sure the peo-
pie will encourge and sustain me with
their patronage.
With heart full of love and charity
fof all and malice toward none, "The
Issue" begins its journey upon the
rough sea of journalism.
