The race for Governor has appar-
emily narrowed down to Featherstone
and Mcleod and for the former to
win II is absolutely necessary to keep
Mcleod out OF the second primary.
Now watch how the Hght on Mcleod

Vice President Sherman was put on
the Republican ticket as the represet-
ative Of the business interests. and
ne seems TO have been, according to
Senator Gore. not ayerse to doing a
little business on the side for his
own benefit.
The chief objection to the Torrens
system In influential quarters is that
II materially reduces the expense in
cident TO the transfer OF real estate
and makes land easily available as
collateral without the intervention of
the legal fraternity.
The candidates who are trying to
ride into ONCE on the Statewide pro-
hibition platform have never yet satis-

force n Statewide law. II one should
be enacted. How would they pre-
vent conditions such as now exist in
Savannah. Augusta and other cities of
the State OF Georgia. which enjoys
the doubtful blessing Of a Statewide
law?

She was almost overcome by the fumes

OYSTERS GROW ON TREES
IN PORTO RICAN WATERS
And Anglers Are Assured That Fish
Will Eat From Their Hands
There.

Oysters grow on trees In Porto Rico;
fish that never yet have had the honor
of mention on expensive restaurant
menus swim unsuspectingly in the waters
Of Porto Rico; fish OF hitherto unknown
varieties will eat out of the anglers
hand in Porto Rico; fish OF every kind
and description are waiting to be caught
in Porto Rico.
All the foregoing Is described in a re-
port to the bureau of insular affairs from
San Juan. The angler might try this
from the report TO the bureau on his
rod and reel
AT one port the following food fishes
are taken by hand. hook and lire, or
trolling: Candil, red goat; Spanish mack
erel. two to ten pounds: kingfsh, ten to
forty pounds; runner. cabra mora, Mas
sau grourer, red hind. toro, red grouper,
five to 100 pounds; pargo priete, Ave to
thirty pounds; dog snapper. Ave to twen-
ty pounds; schoolmaster, red snapper.
muttenfish. land snapper. margate, yell
low tail. pluma, two to eight pounds;
chopa amarillo. one pound: red goat,
five to eight pounds: blue parrot. three
to eight rounds; trunk fish, one to four
pounds; robalo, five to twenty-five
pounds. and balaju. 4 to y pounds
No Doubt About It.
AS for oysters. Capt. John H. Kerr OF
Baltimore, who is in Porto Rico looking
over the fishing field. is authority for the
declaration that they grow on trees. and
the report to the bureau OF insular az
fairs says:
oysters of good flavor are quite pienti-
full on the south side OF the island They
are usually attached to the roots and
lower branches of the mangroye trees
at the shore
In spite of all these conditions the re-
port shows that Porto Rico imported
more than S654,O00 worth of dried fisn
last year and exported none.

Would Not Accept Advice.
Every effort was made to induce
Christensen to allow at least medical
treatment to ease his pain. but he would
not listen, insisting that Christian Science
alone would help him. During the night
several Christian Scientists from New
York called to see the patient, but were

their presence would only make his con-
