vannah river and the coast, In a small
boat for the purpose of making a COM
plete inspection OF the oyster and shad
fisheries, journeying all the way to the
Florida line.
The oyster beds in Georgia, accord =
ing to Mr.. Mercer, produce less than
100000 worth of oysters annually.
while those of Rhode Island, only about
one-third as large, produced last year
$3.50, 900 worth
The state game warden says this is
due to the fact that laws protecting the
industry in Georgia have not been OBJ
served in the past. He thinks Georgia
should produce three times the quaint
ty Of oysters Rhode Island does He
says further that poaohtng on the
oyster beds by local canneries has been
altogether too common heretofore, and
that he proposes to stop it.
George Long, managing editor Of The
Macon Telegraph, came up from the
Central City yesterday to attend the
Macon passenger depot hearing before
the state railroad commission.
Macon Is very much wrought up over
its lack of passenger depot facilities,
and is determined to have either one
handsome new union station or two or
more mighty fine separate ststions-the
former greatly preferred
At present Macon Is undertaking to
make the railroads perform by way of
the railroad commission, but 1t will not
hesitate to ask the governor to call out
the militia eventually, If necessary to
get action that way.
The impression is growing, however,
that the depot situation in Macon will
be adjusted satisfactorily, all the way
round, before many more days have
passed.
The state has now paid within fifteen
per cent of the total amount due the
school teachers for past services, and
the treasury department hopes to get
the remainder paid within a very short
while
The delay in paying the teachers-an
old, old injustice. that governor after
governor has tried unsuccessfully to
remedy-has been about the same this
year as usual, and never will be re-
lieved, save in so tar as some increase
in the governors borrowing power may
help the situation 50 long as the legfs-
lature permits the present methods of
financing the states affairs to obtain.
And the distressing thing about 1t is,
that when the teachers are paid up
finally, they themselves do not get the
money-the great majority Of them
long ago discounted their claims upon
the state at heavy rates. They thus
lose in part the altogether too small pay
awarded them in the first place
The way the state pays It's school
teachers now is flne-for the money

NEW YORK, May 2.-The importation
Of frozen or chilled meat from Australia
as a means to break the high cost of liv-
ing, as is being tried in California, is ap-
parently barred here by federal statutes.
1t has been discovered.
Local jobbers who are considering the
trial of Australian meats declare that
the federal authorities are enforcing the
law which prohibits all men engaged. in
interstate commerce from selling beef or
mutton or veal that has not had both
ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection
by government employees As it happens
that practically all of the New York job
bers are interstate dealers, the obstacle
appears a formidable one.
