Editor of The Nirginan
Sill would appreciate 1t very much II YOU
will allow me TO the columns Of your valu-
able paper as a means OF expressing my views
Of the oyster industry.
For the last five or eight years we have been
i hearing on all sides that the natural rocks OF
Virginia rapidly becoming depleted Sew
eral efforts have been made TO abolish the old
Baylor survey by which the natural rocks are
defined and rent them to the planters to pre-
vent them from becoming totally barren. Thus
far all such attempts have failed, but 1t Is
rumored that another supreme effort will be
made to break the Baylor survey at the next
session of the Legislature
In my opinion, such legislation would be
great calamity to those who depend the
oyster rocks as means OF support. 1t would
deprive thousands Of employment who at
tho present time earning good wages on these
same rocks That are claimed to be depleted.
As n matter of fact, the natural rocks Of James
river are In better condition to-day than they
have been for the last years | am an
FISHERMAN myself, and ] know whereof speak.
and no man can successfully deny my state
uent.
AT the present time the oystermen are earn
! ing daily from 81 to $40 each Seed oysters
are selling at l6c the hushel and shocking oys-
ters are selling at 3oo per bushel II can
/ readily he seen that there is scarcity of
oysters, as the supply is far in excess Of the
demand
! The natural rocks Of James river are prac-
! ticalIy inexhaustible. and it is up to tho Oys-
termans Protective Association to keep them
So The Commission of Fisheries has long been
a dead letter far protecting the rocks
| are concerned
For some time the oystermen have been stig-
matized as pirates, negroes and every other
| hard name that malice could invent. 1t Is
true some negroes are engaged in the oyster
Industry, but are there not negroes employed
| in other branches OF industry Why then.
should the poor oysterman be called a negro
simply because there happen TO be a few 'coons
that oyster for living?
There are some oystermen that violate the
law THIS is undoubtedly true; but why should
all of US be classed pirates and thieves? IT
| appears as unjust
All we ask is fair play. We believe we are
going to get it. IRA B. FORREST

MIR. swanson confesses that he
bought 200 shares Of American To-
bacco Company stock In 1900. and
soInc year or two later bought $50
shares more Of the same stock: but
he pleads in cxtenuation that which
could not possibly have known, and
something which IL would have been
dangerous for me to have assumed.
He SAYS tho stock never came into his
possession. was never transferred to

actually owned by him He thus af-

woman, a kind mother and an
affectionate wife, and her deeds
