FISH HATCHERY IS
NEEDED FOR STATE
West Virginia to Greatest Game and
Fish State in the Union says Game
Warder J. A. visquesney,

Charleston, Jan. Unregistered at
the Ruffnr Hotel here to be present
during the legislative session is State
Game Warden j. A Visquesney, of
Belington. Mr.. Visquesaey is here
for the purpose Of putting through a
bill relative to the prOtection of game
and fish in West Virginia.
In speaking to a reporter the war
den stated that it would only be but
few short years until West Virginia
would be the greatest game and fish
state in the Union, owing to its ex-
cellent laws regarding the protection
Of both the game and fish and the
rigid enforcement thereof.
Mr.. Visquesney also stated that his
mission here was to try and get an
appropriation for the building Of a
fish hatchery in this state. The United
States fishery is at White Sulphur,
but according to Game Warden Wis
quesney West Virginia should follow
the example of many of the other
states and have her own hatchery as
at times it was very difficult to get
fish from the government, while were
West Virginia fortified with her own
stocked with the best and gamest of
fish. When asked regarding the loca-
ton of the pfroposed fisery, Mr.. Wis
quesney stated that it should be To-
Gated along one of the states pulrest
mountain streams, and his idea of the
best water for the raising Ct fish was
to be found in the vicinity of Davis,
w. Va. He is very enthusiastic on
the subject of fish raising in this
state, and without doubt his display
of energy in trying to get this fish
incubator will meet with the hearty
approval CT all lovers of angling
throughout the state, as it will even
tually mean excellent fishing in all
streams from the Potomas to the Big
Sandy.

The cash register had been left un.

it. Instead of ringing up 'no sale, I"
however. he touched the one cent key
and doubtless forgot to put in the pen
ny. The monty taken was in pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters and half dol
lars, three Of the coins being Column
bian half dollars. The meat taken was
worth couple dollars, perhaps. Moth
ing else was missed, the thief evident

EX-G0V. VARDAMAN
issues A DENIAL

Jackson, Miss, April 14.-Ex-Gover-
nor J. X. Vardaman, candidate for the
United States senate, has issued a
statement denying that he is advocat-
ing the government ownership Of
railroads in his campaign addresses.
A few days since Mr.. Vardaman de-
livered an address at Waynesboro,
and the press dispatches sent out
from that point stated that "Mr. Var
daman declared himself in advocacy
of the government ownership of rail-
roads," This, he now declares, was
erroneous; that he did not say he ia
vored government regulation of rail-
roads, but said nothing whatever on
the subject. He therefore asks that
his position be correctly stated.

tion.

will do everything in his power to
make the meeting complete success.
The governor took very active part
In organizing the association at the
first convention held in Jackson last
June, and has been an active and zeal
GUS worker in its behalf.
1--WE expect fully 1000 delegates
at the convention this year." says
Secretary Davis. "The work is MAX
ing splendid progress in all lines, keen
interest is being manifested in every
county, and the association is just at
the beginning of great era of USE
fulness. That our work is attracting
attention elsewhere is shown by the
fact that l have received letters from
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
Louisiana asking for information rela-
tive to our methods of work, and stat
ing that plans are being formed in
those states to launch statewide i'm
migration movements.
"On his last visit to Natchez a few
days since Capt. ]. F. Merry, of the
Illinois Central, stated that the state
wide convention held last June in
Jackson not only opened I'm Missis
sippi, but the entire south, and that
these organizations are certain to be
potent factors in our development" /"
Secretary Davis left this morning
for Gulfport, where he will confer
with business men there to see what
inducements they will offer for the
convention.
A wire will have to be sent him Sat
urday morning in reference to Hat
tiesburg's offer for the association.
