Renevatina Oyster Beds.

Renovating Oyster Beds.
The largest known shell heap, con-
tanning millions of shells, is the prop
erty of New Haven company.
Such shells are far from being Use
less. According to the Strand they are
one of the most important adjuncts
of the oyster industry. Unless the
spawn of the oyster have some clean,
smooth surface upon which to attach
themselves they die, for they are very
delicate in the first few days of their
existence and require beds as clean
and sweet as do the most delicate hui
man babies.
1t is while the shells are piled up
in these great mountains that they are
cleaned and freed from everything in
the way of dirt and bits of adhering
oyster eyes, by the air, rain and sun
shine. When the cleaning process is
finished they are loaded upon steam
dredges and scows and then are towed
out to the beds and carefully spread
over tho bottom ready for the set, as
the fixing of the span to their surfaces
is called.
After they have served their purpose
for one seasons crop they are taken
up and brought back. to be again piled
and cleaned.-EN' II nye.

ignoring the Governor.

Ignoring the Governor.
The most fragrant instance, among
many, wherein the present legislature
has attempted to ignore the state
executive and his lawful messages, was
on Friday of last week, when Governor
Gilchrist sent message to the legisla-
ture making certain recommendations.
Page of Fridays journal of the
House of Representatives shows how
it was disposed of. 1t says:
Mr.. Matthews moved that the read
ing of the communication received
from the governor be dispensed with,
and that the same be spread on the
Journal.
Mr.. Bullock moved to lay the mo-
ton of Mr.. Matthews on the table.
which motion was not agreed to.
1.-THE question REQUIRED upon the
original motion.
Which was agreed to.
If those legislators who are misrep-
resenting the people at Tallahassee dc
not wish to act in accordance with the
rules of well regulated legislative as
semblies, and as gentlemen, let them
resign and go home. The respectable
citizenship of the state have no use
for such misnamed representatives
And further, they would like to know
just who voted yea, and who voted
nay on this question. 1t viii be noted
that the outfit was too cowardly tc
publish in their Journal the names OF
those voting to carry out this ignoring

An Unnecessary Evil.

An Unnecessary Evil. ''.--'
Editor Albert williamson, Of the
Jacksonville FIoridian, strikes right at
the root Of the matter in the following
forcible remarks in regard to express
company evils:
I'VE have never yet been able to see
the necessity for express companies.
The railroads do the hauling and there
are public drays enough to deliver the
freight in every town and railroad sta
ton in the country. But then, there
has to be a corruption fund and the
express companies are the largest con-
| tributors.
'It is safe to assert that these ex-
press companies have more represen-
| tatives in the two houses of congress
| than any known agency-the Standard
OIL Company not excepted.
| How can we ever hope for legisla-
ton to ameliorate the condition of the
producing element Of this country?
THE parcels post would practically
drive them out of business in the car
rying of small packages, but unless the
| people of the country can be aroused
| to defeat the representatives Of these
companies In congress, there is no
hope for the parcels post.
1--WE have heard q great deal about
necessary evils but while we know
these companies to be evils and COM
mon nuisances, they are wholly 'un-
necessary and ought to be driven out
| Of the business.
| Parcels post would prove a great
benefactor to the farmer. but the four
great express companies are barriers
to the needs of the ruralist- These
companies own each others stock. and
the railroads own stock in all Of them,
and carry express matter far cheaper
than they carry the mails. and make
such enormous profits that they dis
tribute millions of dollars in bonds to
the stockholders to prevent the divi-
dends looking too large."-Gainesville

The census bureau has fixed Millions

All this comes as a result of the de-
partment appointing wholly incompe-
tent enumerators. It can easily be
shown that not one-half Of the popula-
ton of Santa Rosa county was emu
merated last year. In the first place,
the enumerators were incompetent, and
secondly, they had just half time in

After the Fees.

After the Fees.
The Pensacola lrnal is publishing
actual figures al - the fee system.
In recent example it showed that
case of vagrancy cost the taxpayers
$2S.92. The justice of the peace got
$3.50, the constable $14.30, the sheriff
$4.55, the clerk $2.57, and the solicitor
$500. The Journal comments: 1.-THE
sheriff's Office, in every county in the
state is today run for revenue-just
like dry goods, grocery or barroom
business. The more business, the more
revenue. The more revenue. the higher
the peoples taxes. Little cases of
crap-shooting, train-riding, vagrancy,
are made to pay in proportion to num-
Der, distance travelled, length of time
spent in Jail, and other incidentals
necessary to secure conviction or pile
up costs. In nearly every instance the
officers of the law are themselves the
witnesses. No one else cares anything
about them."-Tampa Tribune.
