The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1908-02-08

{. Not the least important OF the many
natural richnesses which the coast a
bounds with is its fisheries. The gull ana
the fresh water streams adjacent thereto
abound with fish and oysters. The oys-
ter industry has become an important
factor in the development OF the coast
and gives promise of becoming aleading
industry.
The State some few years ago realized
the worth of the oyster as an industrial
possibility and undertook its develop
ment by appropriating money for It's
propagation and promoting certain laws
for safeguarding the reefs. How we'll
the work has progressed is best told by
the biennial report of the Mississippi
Oyster Commission to the legislature
for the years 1906 and 1907
The report is signed by J. D. Minor,
president of the board, by F. S. Hewes,
Jr., secretary, and by o. I. Cassibry,
X. L. Thornton and Richard Mendes,
members. The report reviews briefly
the history of the movement in Missls-
sippi for the supervision and cultivation
of the oyster producing territory. When
the decision was rendered by the United
States Supreme Court fixing the bound
ary line between the States of Louisiana
and Mississippi there was lost to this
state about one third of the oyster terri
tory which heretofore had been fished
by the citizens of Mississippi.
The Legislature on April Ia, 1905, en-
enacted law appropriating out OF the
state treasury $4,000 to be used by toe
commission during the year 1906 for
spreading oyster shells and establishing
reefs. Three places were selected to
spend the money. One was two miles
southeast from Waveland, Hancock
county. Another was the territory near
and to the east of Biloxi and the third
was near Pascagoula, Jackson county.
The whole amount was expended on
these grounds during the year 1906 as
was also SIS, 900 out of the revenues de-

,260 barrels of shells, says the re-
port were placed on the Waveland reef
in 1906 and 900 in 1907. This reef
is approximately one and one-quarter
miles square. Inspection made during
the past summer shows large quantities
of spawn attached to the shells and oys-
ters grown to length of nearly three
inches from hinge to mouth. No oys-
ters will be permitted to be fished from
these beds until the opening of the sea-
son on September Is, 1909.
About the future the board has the
following to say: "The board is con-
vinced that the oyster industry, if fos-
tered and protected, can not only be
greatly increased in value, but that it
can be made even revenue producer
to the state of Mississippi. This can be
worked out only by rigid enforcement
of the existing law as to culling and by
planting of new beds, and by giving the
beds proper, intelligent supervision and
protection after established. There is
much territory suitable for raising oys-
ters in the Mississippi sound, which

SENATOR HARPER OF GRENADA.
Introduces Measure to Extermmate all Pro-
fessional Men From Politics IN Mississippi.

Senator Harper, of Grenada, who
caused some tittering few days ago by
his bill to protect debtors from the ra-
pacity of the shylocks is again on deck
with a new bill, this time to save the
State from the tolls of lawyers. Here
it is:
A concurrent resolution for the pur-
pose of devising some means to protect
the people of the State of Mississippi
against professional men as law makers
for the people of the State of Missis-
sippi.
''As the property of our country acts
as the life of the country, and as the
prosperity of the people depends on the
protection by law of them in their in
dustrial pursuits, and whereas the peo-
pie of the State OF Mississippi have had
and are still having their very property
stolen from them by the money holders
in New York and other monied coun-
tries without their having any protec-
ton under the laws of the United States
or the State of Mississippi, and whereas
Senate bill No. 12S was intended to give
said citizens of the State of Mississippi
that protection that is guaranteed under
the constitution of the United States
and the State of Mississippi, and that
said Senate bill No. 12S was voted down
in the judiciary committee room, COM
posed of professional men of the Senate
of the State of Mississippi; therefore
be it
"Resolved, by the Senate of the State
of Mississippi, the House of Representa-
tives concurring, that committee on
the part of the Senate and on the part
of the House be appointed to devise
some means to exterminate all profess
sional men from politics of the State OF
Mississippi, so that the laws may be
made to protect the interests of the
masses of the people of the State OF
Mississippi in their property and in the
pursuit of happiness, as guaranteed un-
der the constitution of the United States
and of the State of Mississippi"
| This resolution was intended in al
seriousness, but the Senate never took
! it that way for one moment. They
| dumped on it with both feet'', and
laughed Mr.. Harper out of the hall and
| the resolution to the 'demnition bow.
Vows. Nothing was ever done with it
! and it may never get on the records al

HIGHER Salaries Entice Them Over Rive.

Trenton Jan. 4 (Specian.-Dr- James NJ Green
principal of the State Normal School in his annual
report to Governor Stokes says that many OF the
teachers educated by this state are attracted TO
New York by the larger salaries offered there. AS
in the past the demand for normal graduates has
been much greater than the supply. Although the
salaries paid to teachers in this state have shown
marked increase during the last year, they are nos
yet equal to those OF New York, which therefore
continues to exercise the first call upon the best
teachers produced il this state
The high schools of the state. according TO Dr.
Green. have shown phenomenal development, which
has reflected its influence upon the Normal School
both IN increasing the number OF students and in
the general improvement in their qualifications
There is a constantly increasing cooperation be
tween the high schools and the Normal School
which DR.. Green regards important in the prep
aration of the teacher.
