JAMES RIVER SITUATION.

Capt. Ned Thomas. of Wheaton. on
the Rappahannock, has been buying
seed oysters on the James ever since
the season opened. He has made half
a dozen trips between here and the
James. running loads of seed. He is
buying at 10 cents bushel. getting
plenty and better stock than ever before.
Here is note he leaves at our Office for
publications:
JAMES RIVER, Oct. 5. 1910.
DEAR MR.. LEE:-I would like to add
my approval to the way you have and
are conducting things down on theJames
L have talked with a good many tongers
and planters. and all, except a few of
each, think you have done and are doing
the right thing. ] hear nothing but
praise for Mr.. Lee. The tongers are
abiding by the law, culling their oysters
very well. have been here all the
season and have only seen four or five
pad loads, and they were not SO very
bad The buyers also seem to be very
careful and try not to buy bad loads.
IL certainly takes a man TO handle the
CROWD that you did down here at
the first of the season. / think Won
showed more nerve and brain in not
firing on that crowd than YOU would
have done by shooting. / understand
from reports that you were sorelv
tried. Let the Times Dispatch 90. and

say "hurrah for Lee" with best wishes
and continued success. am,

A MATHEWS VIEW OF 1T.
IMathcws Innrnsll


The Times-Dispatch sees fit to criticize
very severely Commissioner Lees action
In arranging truce between the oyster
planters and tongers in James river. 1t
contends that Mr.. Lee should have put
down with strong hand this uprising of
the tongers and if necessary used the
armament furnished by the State to
annihilate them. 1t further bemoans
the injustice done all the planters by
forcing them to discontinue work during
this part of the season.
AS matter of fact, however, only
few planters were forced to stop work,
and these expressed their willingness to
do so in order that Surveyor Reudiger
might resurvey the lines and permanent
ly settle the dispute. The Dispatch is
very anxious that the rights of the
planters be preserved inviolate. but the
rights of the tongers may go hang, at
least we so understand it's position. We
do not excuse the action of the tongers;
1t smacks too much of the mob spirit,
but if they could be peacably Quoted
until the disputed lines were resurveyed,
then we think Commissioner Lee was
right to adopt that plan, and commend
his action rather than the wholesale
massacre advocated by the Dispatch.
We even venture to assert that had Mr..
Lee turned the Maury's guns upon these
erring men and shot them down that
our contemporary would have been
among the first to yell murder. Further
more, if the planters have placed their
stakes outside of the lines of the BAYLOR
Survey they have broken the law and
should be compelled Tin the right way.
OF course) to remove them within the
proper boundaries.
We are not champiOning the cause of
the Commission of Fisheries. they NAV
and doubtless do make mistakes: we do
think, however, that the criticism of their
action is in this case uncalled for and we
do not think that the Dispatch really
believes it to be culpable: it was simply
too good an opportunity to be neglected
for our contemporary to get off an arti
Gle advocating the renting of all the
natural rocks and bemoaning the loss to
the revenues of the State because they
were not leased.
1t is pity. though. that this oppor-
tunity should be gained at the expense
of Mr.. Lee and his associates. No doubt
The Dispatch will continue (as it has
right to dol to argue for the change in
our oyster laws, but there are a number
ofgood hard-headed tongers and planters
and other people, too, down here who do
not think as it does and never will. We
trust, too, that it will be long, long
time before our contemporary succeeds
IN bringing.the legislature'of Virginia to
its way of thinking on this particular
subject.

THE NORFOLK MIDDLE.

Three candidates have now entered
the Congressional primary in the Sec
ond District-both Maynard and Young.
and State Senator E. f. Holland. of
Nansemond. 1t is thought the fight
will be between Young and Holland.
since Congressman Maynard, who de-
manded the investigation. showed up
so badly.
1t is learned that practically all of
the subcommittee and a majority of
the State committee felt that Young
was duly elected in the recent pri-
mary. but owing to demands of the
press and public sentiment both candi-
dates were thrown out. The inyesti.
cation has made many sympathizers
for Young. In his card announcing his
new candidacy the successful but
thwarted Young has this to say:
Il have been too long a member of |
the Democratic party not to submit to
the decision of the party authorities. |
At the same time it is but Just to nv
self to state that / was made a victim
Of political expediency in the recent

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED

There was much concern and anxiety
at the Courthouse last Friday night
when 1T was learned that Mr.. Monroe
Kemp had not been at his Office during
the day. Suspicion was aroused that
he had either lost his mind and was
wandering in the wood, or had taken his
life, as he had been in a state of do
preston and gloom for some time. Next
morning his brother found his dead BODY
under a tree in field near the house.
he was grasping in one hand n nist,l

himself through the temple.
The community was shocked bevond

death. Many censured themselves that
they had not gone to him and souo M 70

BUILD ROAD

Governor Aids Plan to Divert Trade
From Baltimore TO Richmond

Governor Mann is taking an active
personal interest, for the sake of Rich
mond and Of Virginia, in the proposed
construction of railway line between
West Point and Urbanna. 1t is his aim
to divert to this city the tremendous
freight and express business which now
goes to Baltimore.
The Governor has taken up the mat
ter of transfer accommodations and
rates with the Southern Railway.
Il not only believe" said the Gov
ernor yesterday, that such a line
would be one of the most important
possible factors in the upbuilding of
Richmond, but also that it would be a
line investment for the promoters. 1t
can be built at small cost. With the
exception of bridge over the Malta
POM river and another over a creek
near Urbanna, there would be no ex
pense beyond laying the track on the
ground. The country is level. and the
road would be almost straight.
The line can be built, ready for use.

people of large section of the State
would realize that they are part of
Virginia, and would come to her CAM
