WHAT AUGUSTA
FARMERS THINK
NDnTTT nd CIT

The following resolution giving un
qualified endorsement to the Hon. ].
H. G. Grasty as an Independent can
didate for Congress was passed by
the Augusta County Farmers union,
which, during Mr.. Grasty's tenure
of office as president, grew from an
infant organization to strong union
having nearly one thousad members:
whereas every farmer in Vir-
ginia is ready to do mis- part during
the era Of reconstruction that lies
ahead of us, and we, the members of
the Augusta county farmers union
have learned from experience that
without an organization to protect
our interests at Washington both the
producer and consumer will suffer on
account of the prohteers, and
Whereas out of sci members Of
congress there are said to be not more
than a dozen members who even
claim to be farmers, the Augusta
county farmers union is Of the opin-
ion that the time has come when the
farmers should have at least an eQGt
able amount Of presentation in eo.l-
gress. We do not ask for any special
favors, but we do ask for a square
deal; and
Whereas our former president,
the Hon. J. H. C. Grasty, has Gone
more than any man in Augusta coun-
ty to build up the farmers union at
home and in Rockbridge county, and
Whereas we know him intimately
and have absolute confidence in him
and his ability we, the farmers OF
Augusta county, hereby nominate
and endorse him as an Independent
candidate for congress and Call on
our brother farmers in the ofher
twelve counties Of the Tenth congress

Hand Raised Oysters

Ehu1UlIcu NY DClChe1oo
New York, Sept. S-Another blow
at the high cost of living was struck
today, when the State Conservation
Commission announced that it had at
last solved the problem of raising oy-
sters by hand. Hereafter, oyster eat
tiers will not have to depend upon the
natural supply from the Chesapeake,
Cape Cod and Blue Point beds. They
can by following the example of W.
F. Wells, biologist and sanitarian OF
the state commission, grow their own.
Mr.. Wells, after months. of expert
ment, has a colnoy Of several thou
and baby oysters, all hand raised and
doing finely, in the laboratory of the
Blue Point Oyster Company at West
Sayville, L. I. They are all too young
to be of any benefit to cosumers dur
ing the present oyster season, but one
Of these days, the handraising oyster
may be expected to take its place in
the bill of fare with such gastrono-
mic wonders as the homeless shad,
stringless bean and clamless chowder
When it is considered that single
oyster lays from 100000 to 1907
100000 eggs every season, it seems
incredible that alarm should be felt
over the possibility of an oyster fam
inc, yet that, according to Mr.. Wells,
is exactly what the world was facing
prior to the discovery of the hand
raised product. The present short
oyster crop is attributed to the fail
ure of the oystermen to obtain "set"
for young oysters. Once "set" the
infant oyster can be transplanted to
the growing and fattening beds, but
the oystermen have been derelict and
the crop of new oysters has conse-
quently fallen below par.
Mr.. Wells has succeeded for the
first time in taking eggs from the
oyster, putting them in an incubator
and bringing them up by hand until
they reach the setting stage.

Bruin Of the Charmed Life

Hunters in Eastern Hi shland have
At last succeeded in bag cling the big
bear of the Shenandoah and Shaw's
Ridge that has for years preyed on
neighboring sheep-folds and defed
dogs, hunters and guns.
The killing took place in Sbaw's
Ridge one day last week, the honors
being divided between two or more
of the resident hunters, more than
one shot being necessary to forever
settle the hash" of the big brute.
The hunting party report the bear
as of tremendous frame, but misera-
bly, poor, and apparently very old.
When hung up for dressing he meas
ured 7 feet and 9 inches, but, in spite
of his frequent and recent raids on
the mutton supply of that section, he
,"c3 very poor, with camel-like back
and his big, grizzly head seemingly
out of proportion to his lean body.
Recalling the number of times this
bear had figured in exciting chases
and the equal number of futile shots
fired at him, a DISCRIMINATION was
made as to the presence of old
wounds, but not scratch could be
found, and this in spite of the known
fact that many crack shots had pre-
viously had their try, and at compar'
atively short range. All of which
will strengthen the superstition thai
he hitherto either bore a charmed
life or lioodooed the hunter.

The New Citizens
indianapolis News)


The new women citizens are lind
ing that tn clock runs, the sun rises
and sets. darkness follows daylight
and the world runs along pretty much
the same as it did before the Nine
teenth Constitutional Amendment
There have been no indications in In
diana that the new citizens are go
ing to have their heads turned by
their recently granted privileges
Here and there, throughout the coun
try, something spectacular happens
to emphasize the change, but these
incidents are isolated. Juries compoS-
cd wholly CT women will be novelty
for o time. They can use their intu-
ition to determine whether or not a
witness has told the truth and they
should be as expert at sitting conflict
ing testimony as are men.
A few women will run for office
and as time goes on that will cease
to be a novelty. There are many
Offices that women can fill as accepta'
bly, as men, Some offices, it would
seem, call for the peculiar qualifica
lions that women possess. But thing!
will move along pretty much as they
have in the past. Tie moral tone OF
politics should be raised and the PR.
vate life of public candidates may be
subjected to more careful scrutiny
than has been customary. The en-
trance Of wolacn into politics is
good omen and the best sign noticed
is that they are not at all foolish
about their new privileges.
