of nets set in the bay and in the lower

A FEARFUL INDICTMENT.
ISusscx Stumhinl.)
Did you read that indictment of Vir?
ginia road overseors last week by Pres
ident Johnson of the N. & W. Railway.'
He says: "The split log road drag ha?
been the mcans of accomplishing more
elTective results in the building of good
dirt roads than any other implement,"
"and sofarnscan be ascertained,
there areless than twenty-tive of then
in Virginia." What an indictment oi
iunoranre or indifference on the part ol
our road oflicials. Tho best implemenl
for road making cvor invented, one giv
m free to the world by its inventor,
one that costs practically nothing hul
an hour or two of work. and ytt nol
twenty.fiveof them in all the groai
State of Virginia. that neetis them
good roads thatwe arepaying for ?ver\
year and not gettin^!
Presldcnt Johnson wants the farmers
to try these drags and ollers to loar
them one for a trial. We hope manv
will try them just to make the road of?
licials "sit up and take notice." Just
to show how they have been wastinR
the people'a mooey by refusing tolearr
from tbe experience of others. other
communities, and other States.
Let our supcrvisors recognize the
road drag as a road implemcnt, and
through the road superintendent, if the
law requires, pay the farmers for this
work. They will thus leave the road
money right at home, get the roads
worked at just the proper time for the
farmer will be rjght on the spot and
could spare the time from his other
work better before the fielda are fit to
work and the roads in just the proper
:ondition.
MAY FLOAT OYSTERS.
What aeema to be a compromiac
ruling, and one that can be eaailj
evaded, ia a deciaion iaaued Monday bj
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
It waa announced that the floating ol
oystera would be permitted by the de?
partment if the water in whieh the
floating waa done was of the aame
saline content as the water in whieh
the oyatera were grown.
According to the testimony given at
the hearing of the oyster ahippers at
the department aome time ago, this
will not plump up the oyater and make
it atay fat, as in the caae when it ia
Hoated in freah water.
The departnient ruled that if oysters
for interstate ahipment are given a
drink of fresh water, they muat be
marked on the container "floated
oysters." ij tfiey are floated in water
that ia polluted, they will be considered
adulterated wfthin the meaning of the
pure food law. All this militatea
againat the sale of oyatera from Vir
irinia. We do no floating here, yet it
will continue to put in active compe
tition with the favored Cheaapeake
oyatera the oystera of the north that
may be in poor condition but brought
ip by floating.
MEN WHEN OCCASION DEMANDS
It was to this truth that Governoi
Mann addressed himself in his Memo
rial Day address, when he said:
"I used to think, as a boy that thert
could never be another Washington in
the world's history. But I was mis
taken. From tho. very county in which
Washington was horn, in Virginia,
there was called Robert E. Lee to make
a name in the world's history. And
from the boys of today, if the country
ever needs another Washington or an?
other Jefferson or another Monroe or
another Marshall or another Lee, Vir?
ginia will*be ready to produce him."
It is an encouraging retrospect to
consider that the War Between the
States developed so rapidly so many
men of really large stature. -Richmond

A DISTINCTION OVERLOOKED.
Occaaionally a corre8pondent will
attack with heat as the opinion of the
paperto whieh he writes aome view
whieh the paper itself may not hold
and with whieh it in fact diaagrees.
Because he "sees it in the paper" thia

it. Nothing could be further from the
truth, sofarasany fair newapaper is

then there has not been anything of a

to other points. If there is not any set
this spring, it will not make rnuch dif

The protracted cool weather is losinj;
mdlions of dollars to our farmers ant
truckers. Corn is backward, yellow,
and much of it needing replanting. Th?
cut worm is also getting in his work.
Fruit and vegetable crops throughout
the eastem shores of Virginia and Ma?
ryland have been seriously affectcd.
The fields just now are evidencea of the
harm that has been done by the cool
nights and the wintry winds that have
blown from tli?? ? ???!_a *_ .
Warm weather in March and an al
most total absence of the high wind;
that usually mark that month encour
aged truckera to plant early. fftnaa
quently many crops were well abovt
ground when thecold weather set inand
atunted them. Reana and cantaloupea
eapecially show the effects of the wea?
ther. Warm nights are especially fa
vorable to the development of early
vegetable crops, and without them the
yield ia almost certain to be ahort.
Strawberriea, thjugh now nearly
over, have been slow in ripening be?
cause of the cold. Peas have been
pretty well gathered and the yield has
not been heavy. Sweet potatoea set
out several weeks ago are just as they
were when planted. They have grown
tione, but on the contrary have died
from the continued cold
Notwithstanding the backward sea?
son larger crops than usual have been
planted, and some harvested, this sea?
son than ever before. A New York reg
ular liner took on one trip from Nor
folk 5,000 baskets of early cabbage,
3,000 crates of kale and thousands of
packages of other trucks. Prices have
kept up fairly well.
i maio smpmema msc year trom (Jap*
Charles amounted to about 300,000 bar
rel8. The crop this year is believed tc
be about 25 per cent. heavier, whieh
will bring the output for that Virgioia
port this aeason up to at leaat 375,00(1
barrela. About two-thirds of the crop
of Northampton county goe8 out from
there. The output from the whole
county will run over 550,000 barrehj.

ARRAIGNING THE LAW.
The system under which the law h
administered in this country is a hun
dred years behind the age, the proce
dure in equity cases is a scandal to oui
jurisprudence, many cases are decided
not on their merits, but purely on
technical questions; and not only has
something got to be done about it, but
someLhing will be done about it.
This is the sum and substance of a
itatement given out by a joint cornmit?
tee on reform in legal procedure of the
National Bar Association and the
tfational Civic Federation, at the con
dusion of a conference held in the Law
/ers' Club in New York last week at
he invitation of former Judge Alton
i. Parlc*?r
*'Ninety per cent of the proverbial
law'a delaya," saya the atatement, **are
due to the system under whieh the law
is administered, rather than to the in
tention of the attorneys interested in
delayed auits or the benefit resulting to
either aide from delaya. Aa a raatter
of fact, it is to everybody's interest to
have law auits quickly and cheaply
jiaposed of."
POLITICAL
Many republicans admit. says a Wash?
ington dispatch, that the next Houat
will be democratic, and that the Senate
must grow less strongly protectionisl
or go to the same party sooner or later.
Congressman Dalzell, Speaker Can
non's right-hand man, barely pulled
through for renomination in his atrong
Republican Pennsylvania district. Dem
acrats are jubilant and Republicans de
jected, as it foresimdowa hard times
ihead for Republican policies. Repub
ican Senatorial leaders, Hale and Al
Irich, are thinking of dropping out of
Jie Senate.
