oring for women the right to be
whipped and to pay street and road
tax like men"

FISH AND 0YSTEp NOTES.

J. K. George & Bro. of Irvington,
started up shocking oysters Monday,
probably the first on the river to make
shipments.
It's given out on good authority that
protective measures adopted the past
few years by Mr.. Lee has had effect to
make James river oyster rocks better
than they have been for twenty years
Newport News item in Richmond
Virginian.
The presence of great schools of
whales off the North Carolina coast is
unexplained, and certain it is that not
in many years have the great fish been
as numerous as now. Tall tales are told
of the playful pranks of some of the
monsters of the deep by sailors coming
into port.
Oyster season ON the Potomac and
throughout Maryland opened Thursday,
September lst. In Virginia, other than
Potomac river, the season opens Sep
TENDER 18th. Oystermen are actively
engaged getting their boats in readiness
and tong and shaft-makers arc working
overtime to supply the wants of Gus
toners.
Indications point to an excellent sea-
son for the Virginia oyster planters and
shippers. The oysters are said to be
large, fat and growing rapidly. Pack
ers are making preparations for busy
time. expecting to open about Septem-
Der l. Prospects of an oyster set in
Long Island Sound are not very bright
up to this time.-N. Y. Fishing Gazette.
In one week Crisfield, Md, shipped
400, 600 soft shell crabs. 1t is said
that 80 per cent of the soft shell crabs
used in the United States come from
the waters of Accomac County, Va,
thus the fisheries of the Old Dominion
are still of vast Importance Uncle
Sam, though he does not think enough
of us to give the world just data
as TO the business in our State. n
1t has been shown in the recent oyster
investigation that most of the Connecti-
cut oyster grounds simply produce the
bivalve, and that for fattening purposes
they must be removed to other waters.
= The Chincoteague clam market in
June and July has been unprecedented.
The $40 mark seemed in sight. CLAIMS
at a cent piece is about the top notch.
4 \ We find that the complex system of
packing the bulk stock to comply with
the Pure Food Laws will put number
of packers out of business. There is
too much trouble for the money there
is in it. S. Costen, of Hampton,
informs us that the crab season has
been very satisfactory to catcher and
packer. though the former has had the
best of it. Crabs have been fairly plen-
tiful and the prices have been good.
The soft shell crab trade at Crisfield.
Nd, has been phenomenal The crab
meat trade has been the best in history.
Each year the crab sales assume larger
proportions. Oysterman and Fisher
