DISGRACE TO NOBLE PROFESSION.

1t is truly lamentable that so much
mud-slinging, vituperation. elimination
and re-crimination. and censurable de-
corum have crept into noble profes.
sion-the law. We wish to say how
ever. that most good lawyers are men
of high honor and dignity, and the in
stance here referred to is an excep-
ton, not the rule: yet canjer coerces US
to remark that lawyers-men of ability
too often engage in conduct that
would be unbecoming even in an illite-
rate man of decent raising.
This ought not to be so. Has the
majesty and dignity" of the law wan
ed. or are the illegal lights" losing
their mental brilliancy? Lawyers of
high rank are supposed to be men of
power; and dignity. urbani-
ty, decorum and exemplary department
are elements which form component
parts of all true and intellectual great
ness. Northampton Times.

Were eaten last year. We repeat. that
unless some steps are taken to conserve
our seed supply there will be an oyster

We have been told that dredging crabs
IN winter was killing the goose which
laid the golden eggs. and that the crab
would soon belong with the departed
spirits of the diamond-back terrapin.
There was migration of crabs from
the ocean into the bay the next year
that glutted the market. Then we
were told that all the shad had been de-
stroyed by the Buckroe pounds. Yes
terday there was the greatest catch in
the past twenty-five years. OF course
there should be amendments and re-
forms to the fish laws and better pro-
lection all along the line. but pick out

harmless. Hampton Monitor.

WE WERE glad of a recent op-
portunity for oyster officials from
the Virginia mountains and the
Eastern Shore peninsula to visit
~ county on the Western Shore.
Dropping into Mathews county
one day, and driving a few miles
inland from the great Mobjack
bay, they were given occasion TO
see what beautiful truck farms
we have, the pretty and well-kept
homes and the excellent class of
people that line up the western
shore OF the Chesapeake bay.
They were very much impressed
with these phases. We NAV be

STEAMER CHAMPION" BURNED

The Old Dominion steamer Hampton.
which plies between Norfolk and Smith
field. was almost totally destroyed by
hre Friday night while in the Smith &.
McCoy's drydock undergoing repairs.
The fire started in the lower afterdeck.
and was for the most part confined to
the stern.
While the firemen were working, one
side OF the dock was sunk by opening of
the valves. shifting the boat badly to
one side and endangering the lives of
the firemen who were aboard her.
She is valued at about 100000. The
damage is covered by insurance.
