Jail and Church.

Troy presents an oddly. The city
Jail stands within an alcove of the First
Methodist church. 1t is on the same lot.
The church has the appearance of hav-
ing been built around the prison. The
church Is one of the handsomest in the
state, but its beauty is marred by this
proximity of the prison. I am told that
the jail will be moved. The present ar
rangement certainly attracts the atten-
tion of the visitor and the impression is
not favorable.

We ARE deeply indebted to the

suggestions listen ed 90 relieve US
from the EN- barrassment of selec-
ting a candidate for the House OF
Delegates, and We as deeply re-
Eret that weighty reasons proven,

The JOURNAL fully agrees with
thu Sentinel in its flatering opin-
ion OF the record and ability Of
Mr.. Evans. but we do not believe
with them that this should pre-
vent others from aspiring 10 this
Office. and we feel that our con,
temporary 10 partisan when he
requests the Withdrawal of both

too with the able editor of the
Sentinel when he says that Mr..
Christian (to whom il seems he
devotes the major portion Of his
editorial, will be at a loss 10 ad-
vance any reason for his Candida
CIV. He has the same right 10
ask reward at the hands of his
party thatanyother Democratpos-
sesses and has naturally the same
lsudable ambition TO represent
his fellow Democrats la the leg
lslature Of Virginia that prompted
Mr.. Evans 10 become a candidate
two years ago.
Believing them az We have said
that Mr.. Christian has a perfect
right to aspire TO the Office and
believing further that should he
be elected that he will use every
effort is his power 20 secure the
legislation most needed by his
constituency, we feel perfectly
justified in giving him our cordial
support.
Having known this gentleman
intimately for a long time. we
believe, without any disparage-
meut of Mr.. Evans. il event OF
bis election that he will serve his
people with the same ability and
guard their interests with the
same answering 6delity which
has characterized the record of
the present incumbant.
The Sentinel is sure that Mr..
Christian is a candidate on &C
count of the wishes of his many
friends.
To our minds it's 9 mighty good
reason for his candidacy and we
hope that be will not disappoint
thoss friends by Withdrawing
from the race but that be will

LOST MONEY.

US WIN < 7 :
Commander Howard, of the
State police. says the oyster sea-
son has been the most unprofit-
able for many years. many Of the
people who engaged in the bust
ness having lost considerable
money.
The trouble does not seem 10
be with the oyster supply. for Mr..
Howard says the crop is more
plentiful this year than for many
years past, but the demand has
not been up TO expectations, and
the price has been very low.
L know of one instance" said
Commander Howard, where a
man has lost 81. 500 for the season.
Buy boats have felt the depres-
sion the most. often finding it i'm
possible to market the oysters at
the price paid for them"
The season for dredging clos
ed yesterday. On my way up the
bay / saw only three boats at
work. The depression in the in
dustry had practically driven most
of them out Of business before the
law brought their work to an end.
GOOD SEASON NEXT YEAR.
In many instances oysters were
sold of the beds as low as 20
cents a bushel. This does not
pay. 1t means a bountiful sup
ply for next season, however, for
only the finest oysters were tax
en-, leaving those that had not
attained their full growth for an
other season.
l am told that many of the
packing houses have oysters left
over from last season. and the
purchases made this year were
because OF the cheapnes of bival-
YES"
The depression in the trade
made my work unusually light.
There was not the incentive TO
violate the law. and very few vio-
lations occurred. Then. too, the
oystermen may be beginning TO
realize the wisdom of the rest ric-
tions imposed by law.
