From the pascagoula Democrat-ssar.

From the Pascagoula Demccral-SEar.
Alfred e. Lewis, of Biloxi, chief in
spector for the Mississippi Oyster Com
mission, who has just returned from an
official visit to Bay st Louis to inspect
the Waveland oyster reef, declares that
all danger of serious injury to the oyster
this year from too much fresh water
is over and that the oyster season next
year will, he thinks, be one Of the best
ever known in the history of the oyster
industry.
The reefs in Mississippi are in excep-
tionally good condition, says Mr.. Lewis,
while the one at Bay ST. Louis, though
in good condition, is under the adverse
condition of fresh and muddy water.
Twenty -four thousand barrels of shells
were planted by the Mississippi Oyster
Commission last year and Mr.. Lewis
declares that the growth OF young oysters
has been phenomenal. He completed an
investigation of the condition of each
of the reefs and finds that there will be
large number of marketable oysters
from this planting next season. The
fresnets killed the Mississippi oysters
from this planting last year and conse-
quently during the past year the packers
have been almost dependent on oysters
from Louisiana reefs and the season has
not been at all satisfactory. However,
next season oysters will be available
from the Mississippi and Louisiana reefs
and that is why Mr.. Lewis thinks the
season will be so successful.
The Mississippi Commission has un-
dertaken oyster culture and extension
vigorously and systematically. 1t is
planned this year to plant more than
10000 barrels of shells, of which 10000
barrels have already beg. secured.
Thus, the reefs next year, barring fresh
cts of destructive prolongation, will be
as fine or better than next season.
Mr.. Lewis says that the high north
wind of last week was what saved the
oysters this spring from serious injury,
as the north wind has a tendency to
drive the fresh water, which is near the
surface, out to sea while the salt water
which is beneath the fresh remained to
protect the young bivalves.
The work of removing the Pascagoula
reef of about 10000 sea oysters from
the shallow water out to deep water, a
distance of one to three miles, will be
undertaken shortly by the crew of the
j. D. Minor, the commissions dredge
| boat.
| Mr.. Lewis also thinks that the Oys-
ter Commission ought to be empowered
to take steps to protect shrimp, fish
and crabs by seeing to it that those un-
der a certain size are not caught and
also by protecting them during spawn
ing periods.
The Oyster Commission has two pa
troll boats, the O u Kid and the Alethe
Vardaman.

The whole American public is wild
with spending. Public economy is a
lost art. A bill that carries or requires
an appropriation needs little else to
commend it to any legislative body.
All bonds of municipalities are now re-
funded, instead of being paid when due.
The excuse for bond issue is always
that "posterity" ought to bear part OF
the cost of public improvements. But
when we, as posterity, come along we
not only do not repudiate the contract
but add new burdens to the old and
shove both of them on to the future
in the shape of new and refunding bond
issues. 1t is, perhaps, the meanest form
of stealing ever invented, becaus it adds
to the criminality of breach OF trust the
baseness of emDezzling the future re-
sources of our own children, who, since
there must come an, end of borrowing
some time, will have these debts to pay.

KIDNAPPED CHILD FOUND IN COLUMBIA.
After Nationwide Search, Little Robert Dun
bar Is Restored to His Parents.

Little Robert, the four-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. P. Dunbar, who
mysteriously disappeared from Opelou-
las, La, on the 23rd of August, 1912,
was found near Columbia, in the pos
session of a man who gives his name as
w. G. Walters, and his profession as
that of stove mender.
Walters had been seen in different
parts of the State with the child, but
the people Of Hub, a small place near
Columbia, were so impressed with the
suspicious actions of the man with the
child that they notified Mr.. Dunbar,
who went to Columbia on Monday. He
was positive from the first that he had
at last found the little son who had dis
appeared some months ago Mr.. Dun
bar then sent for his wife, meeting her
in New Orleans, both returning to CO.
lumbia, and on Tuesday the mother
positively identified the child as her
own.
When Mrs. Dunbar first saw the little
fellow, she was not positive in her iden-
tification. Little Robert had changed
somewhat, but the change is attributed
to the hardships which he had been
forced to endure while in possession of
the kidnapper. The little boy, at first,
did not recognize his mother. Eyi-
IDENTIFY he had been taught to fear every
one. On Tuesday Mrs. Dunbar had lit
tie trouble in getting her son to recol-
lect her. He then asked her about his
smaller brother as we'll as about other
things that had transpired before he
was taken from his home.
Following the identification at CO.
lumbia on Tuesday, great demonstra-
ton was held in that city; parade of
automobiles, numbering about thirty,
was held, the people OF the city going
wild with excitement after the news
had been given out that Mrs. Dunbar
had identified her little son.
At this time Walters is still held in
the Columbia Jail under strong guard.
At first, there was talk of mob violence,
but some OF the leading citizens of the
place prevailed on the would-be lynch
ers to allow the law to take its course.

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside: "Dur-
ing the Matching seas on last spring I
had placed setting of fine eggs. A
few days before the chicks were due,
two eggs were accidentally cracked and
began to bleed, showing that the chicks
were fully developed and alive. I took
the eggs from the nest very carefully,
melted little parafin, and when it was
slightly cool, I poured it over the bro
ken places of the eggshell, being care
full not to cover any more surface than
was necessary. Both of the eggs pro-
duced fine, healthy chicks that were
raised to maturity"

Messrs. Edwin w. Edwards, John K.
Edwards and Eddie Fayard went up to
Hattiesburg, Miss, by rail last Satur-
day to drive to Bay ST. Louis two Ford
cars that were sold in our town by the
new automobile firm of Edwards Bros.
&: Monti,
They report the first fifty miles OF the
road isa bad condition, almost impass-
able. full of gullies, ruts and hollows,
but further down found the roads better
and in Hancock county simply ideal.
The speedometers on the machines
registered one hundred and fifteen miles
for the entire trip, which was made on
eight gallons of gasoline for each car.
This is claimed to be an exceedingly
small amount as the cars were new and
stiff and the roads for fifty miles in bad
condition.
Edward Bros. 8: Monti report that the
demand for Ford cars in Hancock coun-
ty, being greater than they can supply
from the New Orleans branch and that
they are now drawing on the agencies
at Hattiesburg and other points in the
State for their supply.
They now have two touring cars and
one runabout on the way from the fac
tory, which they expect here in few
days.

to the Legislature of California both
from President Wilson and Secretary

SIT is the intention of Senator James
K. Vardaman, of Mississippi to say
something, if there is discussion in
the Senate Of the clash between the ad-

MIA on the alien land act now pending
in the Legislature of that State. Sena-

that the supremacy of the white race
must be upheld regardless of the sane

strongly OF the opinion that the viii te
people of California should not be asked
or expected to do anything that they
know is wrong and injurious to their
well-being. The Senator is very posi-

his remarks are expected to stir the ma

AN AUTO RIDE FROM LOGTOWN TO BAY
ST. LOUIS.

VI Iorty miles or more,
And view the realms where Nature
reigns,
Through woods, on sea and shore!
Such was the gift God gave to me,
One lovely afternoon,
When everything was fresh and fair
AS in the month Of June.
] heard the signal of the car;
In haste [ went to see,
And quickly saw my dream fulfilled
That they had come for me.
We started on an auto-ride,
Our number only five,
With full anticipating joys
Of such pleasant drive.
Two mothers in the party were
Who love their Blessed Lord.
Whose lives reveal their souls within,
Are fashioned by His word.
And then the child, SO sweet and fair,
Her name is Daisy Dear,
Between them sat and watched with glee
The lovely scenes appear.
But. O, to tell you of the maid
Who sat so near my side
And held the car with perfect grace
AL through that lovely ride,
Would take a sage with wisdom g pen
On page to half begin
To trace her life so pure and fair
And full of life within!
Such was the band we then composed i,
So full of joy and glee,
As through the woods We sped along
Towards the silver sea.
The sky above was clear and blue,
The sun was to the West,
And curtain clouds that smoothed his
rays
Made Nature at her best.
The air was fresh, the trees were high;
1t seemed that every pine
In homage to us stood erect,
Like soldiers in their line.
And on we sped with lightning speed,
So full of joy and glee;
And soon we left the stately pines
To view the pretty sea.
On right we saw the rolling waves,
That dashed upon the shore,
Which seemed to say to us these words |:
'I'll dash forevermore!
And on their pillows rode the ships
From many lands and seas;
Their sails were floating full and white,
And hoisted to the breeze.
On left we saw the skill of man
In cottage small and great;
To view such works OF God and man,
Leads up to Heavens Gate.
We passed the children on the streets,
The busy men inside;
And on we went through town away
Upon that lovely ride.
But soon we stopped to leave behind
A mother with friend;
And on we sped with lively speed
To where the pike doth end.
We turned at once our homeward way,
And soon to mansion came,
Where mother and her friend came out,
And gave the latter's name.
And as the mother stepped inside,
We started on our chase,
To only halt to get some goods
AT grocers' market place.
And then away we took our speed
| Along the route we'd made,
And as the clouds had thicker grown,
They made pleasant shade.
Back from the sea through woods we
came,
Until we reached our town;
Though forty miles were made, or more,
The sun was not yet down.
With hearts SO full of joy and glee,
We entered each our home;
But lose those scenes we never will,
Though Golden Days may comet
