RICHES FROM OCEAN
Japanese Fishing Industry Is
Enormous.
Easily the Leading Nation In the
World In This Respect-Annual
Value Of Water Products
Reaches Large Figure.

Japan Is said to be the leading fish
of its fish products, for in that re-
spect several other nations excel it,
but in the number of persons who
make their living by fishing, in the
proportion of fishers to the rest of
the population, in the relative impor-
lance of fisheries in the domestic
economy, in the ingenuity and skill
Of the people in devising fishing ap-
paratus In preparing fish and In the
zeal shown by the government in pro-
noting the interests of the fishing
population.
The islands comprising Japan stretch
diagonally from north east to south
west, between two and three thousand
miles, giving a great range of climate,
and consequently of waters from al
most tropical to almost arctic. The
islands are mostly long and narrow
and at no part is the interior too far
from the sea to allow of the easy
transportation of fresh fish. Within
a few miles of the coast in many
places are deep parts of the sea in
which breed inexhaustible supplies of
deep sea fish, while the bank and top
feeding sorts swarm about the shores
in countless schools.
It is estimated that one person in
twenty in the entire empire is more
or less of fisherman, and fish appear
in some form on the table of every
Japanese family daily, If not at every
meal. The annual value of water prod
ucts is in excess of $30,000,0OO. Halt
a million boats are engaged in fishing,
of which $4,000 are more than thirty
| feet long. Almost million men are
professional fishermen, and 100000
more give part of their time to fishing
and the rest to farming or other pur.
suits. Only about 100000 men are, ii
appears, SO employed in the United
States.
A thousand species of fish have al
ready been identified in Japanese wa
tiers, and almost every one Of them is
edible. One of the commonest, most
wholesome and most sought after is

a fishery expert Of this government
who has visited Japan pronounces ex
cellent. Dogfsh, the common mem
Der of the shark family along the north
Atlantic coast, would never be per
mitted to go uncaught in Japan. Ever
the octopus Is table delicacy there.
Much fish is eaten raw by the Japa
nese, a fact that is said to be much
more easily understood by Americans
after they have tried raw mackerel OF
other fish dipped in the deliciou:
sauces the Japanese employ in this
relation.
The prominence Of Japanese fish
cries is due to the encouragement o
the government. Officials have beer
sent to the United States as well al
to Europe to study the methods Il
vogue, and there is at Tokyo an i'm
perial fisheries institute, school will
which no other in the world can com
pare.

"Hum," said fremont. He did not
wish to tell her he thought the man

The man was silent. He clutched
the rags at his breast and looked At

DEBATE AT WEDGEFIELD.
"Should Women Have the Right I,
Vote"

Wedgefield, Feb. 1S.-The ]. II.
Aycock Literary society of the Wedge
field school gave a public debate on
last Friday night on the query,
Should women have the right to
vote" The debate was enjoyed by a
large audience. but the question is
still undecided.
The seasons so far have been un-
favorable to the large area planted
in grain here this year.
There is one large farm near here
on which is generally planted 500 or
more acres of cotton. which is plant
ed this year in grain entirely.
With the exception of meal, not a
single car Of fertilizer has been re-
ceived here so far this season and if
reports are true very little will be
used. Farmers are giving other things
their attention which heretofore has
been neglected.

SPEAKS FOR MILL PEOPLE.
Governor Makes Special Appeal TO
Legislature for Passage of School
Aid Measure.

Columbia Feb. 2O.-In a message to
the general assembly. Gov. Manning
urged that the bill for the improve
ment of mill schools be passed at this
session.
The message in full follows:
i desire to urge upon you the
passage of the house bill No. 215. in
troduced by Messrs. Dixon Rogers
Num- and Bales: "A bill for the i'm
provement of mill schools, night
schools and special adult schools seek
ing to remove illiteracy.' This bill
provides for a special agent of the
state department Of education to work
in mill schools and night schools, in
cooperation with public school Off
GERS, district trustees and teachers.
This special agent under the bill
would give special attention to mill
schools, night schools and schools for
the removal of adult illiteracy. 4. 1t is
hardly necessary to advance any ar
gument for the passage of this meas
ure, inasmuch as the need for such
instruction in mill communities is felt
by all.
"As the time is drawing near for the
close of the session and the press of
other matters may prevent the pas
sage of this bill, I will urge that you
place an appropriation carried by the
bill in the appropriation act, provid-
ing for SPECIAL agent Of the State
deartment Of education to work in
the mill schools and night schools.
For the purposes Of the bill an ap-
preparation of $4,000 has been esti-
mated, but / urge that the amount
OF $4,000 be placed in the appropria-
