THE OYSTER QUESTION.
Presented By a Working Man From
a Standpoint of Common Sense.
Editor Morning News: Touching a ques
tion of moment to Savannahians in gen
eral. and particularly Involving the inter
ests of a large number of working people
In Chatham county. I respectfully beg
leave and space of you to notice a com
munication from ‘lnterested Savannah
lans,” which appeared In a recent Issue
of an afternoon paper.
Recounting the trial and conviction of
an oysterman charged with stealing oys
ters from the posted beds of a citizen. In
terested Savannahlan launches out In an
unqualified denunciation of certain indi
viduals, corporations, laws and law-mak
ers, which, if allowed to go unchallenged,
might prove detrimental to the interests
of the many who are concerned. As to
the merits of the case alluded to, 1 have
nothing to say; an intelligent jury with
the facts at hand has disposed of it. In Ills
article, the gentleman questions the right
or power of legislators, and in the same
breath sues for protection. His inconsis
tency clearly shows a case of "whose ox
Is gored.”
To his first question, "can the Georgia
legislature lawfully grant,” etc.. I answer
yes, emphatically, yes. By that same right
by which It conveys to Individuals, lands
of its vast domain; by authority in it
vested by the people. Those rights vouch
safed one hundred and nineteen years ago,
to a free and sovereign people.
Oysters and rivers. Interested Savan
nahian asserts, "have always existed by
the grace of God,” and so on. Granted,
hut have not also land and the forests
thereon. The coal, gold and iron, all are
God’s free gifts to man.
Yet these, by the laws of equitable ad
justment, becomes Individual holdings.
God has also given to us—we marvel not,
nor question his infinite goodness—the
calamity howler. He is ever present, here
as elsewhere. In our otherwise blessed
southland, to how l at any laudable attempt
at industrial progress and enterprise.
In this particular Instance he Is engaged
in howling again the wrongs (?) of the
poor, 3mall oystermen, and directs a hue
and cry ut the petty seventy-five acres of
marsh and creek, (mind you, there are
about thirty-five thousand such acres in
Chatham county) celled to the later Oetn
ler Oyster Company 1 for Industrial pur
poses.
I repeat, industrial. It Is not "monopo
listic,'' (thanks for the word, Mr. "Inter
ested Savannahian,” I shall recur to it
anon), to foster and maintain a legitimate
enterprise, furnishing remunerative em
ployment to the citizens of> a community,
it rather savors of pessimism, even anar
chism. when a small contingent of dis
gruntled croakers strive to array public
opinion against an undertaking looking to
the thrift and prosperity of the people.
There are some interested Savannahlans
who know that many thousands of dol
lars have been placed by that compuny In
the waters of Chatham county, in plant
ing and cultivating oysters. They ask' and
this privilege of the people, and the people
granted it.
With these rights, lawfully accorded. Is
not this company, or its successors eu-

titled to protection and redress, equal to !
the small (?) oystenman. “Interested Sa- j
vannahian" says: “The next session of the |
legislature will be asked to remedy the j
evil so long existing,” etc. He would seek,
through legislative < nactment, to deprive '
| of its lawfjl privilege*, anew and strug
gling industry, giving employment to five
times as many people as are engaged in
the small raw business, and yet in no wise
interfering with them in the legitimate
pursuit of their calling. If the small oys
■ terman has grievances, let me—as a fellow
worker, a wage worker, in the industry—
a lvi>* him to seek the source of his wrongs
elsewhere.
Let us ee to what extent the small
oy.-German’s business has suffered. Dur
ing the past two seasons trim sport at ion
records show more raw oysters have been
shipped from Savannah than any two
previous seasons since God has allowed
them to exist in waters for the j
benefit of man and “Interested Savan
nahian.” And the raw business has grown
so that the few small anti-monopolistic
raw dealers have been supplemented by
a f* w small dealers from Baltimore. The !
average real small oysterman, with many
other vagaries, is migratory, and if he
fails to put in his expected appearance
the anxious dealer apprehends that he
has been gobbled into the insatiate maw*
of the awful Oemler oyster octopus.
Asa matter of fact. I would state there
are from forty to fifty small boats haul
ing oysters to the Oemler cannery, j
fourths of which have been hauling to j
the raw men.
These men bring the bunch or wild oy
ster from the natural beds and find It
profitable. There are also oystermen who
have their cultivated beds, and are paid
30 cents per bushel for their stock.
I offer matters of fact, not fancy.
I am in a position to know whereof I
speak. As may have been conjectured, I
am an employe of the Oernler cannery. I
am not the “Baron,” but an humble ser- j
vitor. And just here let it be under
stood that in the matter of this letter I
am literally “toting my own skillet.”
He who makes a thrust at my honest
means of livelihood makes a grab for my
bread, and the bread of more than 400
others, many of whose names appear upon
the weekly pay roll, which figures, in the
aggregate, I have before me—l have se
lected a mean average—s94s. Sixty-five
per cent, of this goes almost directly to
Savannah, while the remaining, say one
third, stands indirectly, in a contributive
way, to Savannah’s lnterst.
Close this mill to-morrow. How many
of these half a thousand people will “in
terested Savannahlans" employ?
It is not my province here to question
the gentleman s sincerity, nor dispute his
right to express has mature convictions.
Neither do I but exercise my own pre
rogative when 1 say his utterances have
tho smack of selfishness. As to the re
peal of tl* oyster law as it now stands,
there reed be no fear. I would not im
pute to the gentlemen, who will represent
Chatham county In the next session of the
legislature, the folly of an act so biased
and prejudicial to the interests of the
people.
The people confide In the wisdom and
integrity of their representatives.
As well legislate to destroy the farm
ers’ fences, bid pilferers enter and despoil
him of his crop; reaping where they have
not sown. No, the south is not yet ripe
for llenry-Goorgistlc dogma.
Our country, Mr. Editor, is afflicted
with a class of malcontents, on whose
part there is a disposition to oppose any
magnanimous effort tending to the gen
eral commonweal.
It is from the ranks of these that are
drawn the numbers which go to swell
the cohorts of agitators, engaged In dis
seminating fallacious doctrines; arraying
labor and capital in the lines of unceasing
antagonism.
•But the intelligent working man Is be
coming more to reason for himself, and
will not so readily accept as facts the
pupppositious theories of visionary
prophets.
Asa rule, those who clamor most for
the righting of wrongs, have no wrongs to
right. Let the poor working man alone.
He will work out his ow n destiny. At least
pou do not help his cause by using him as
a cats-i aw to rake out your chestnuts.
Let him do his own howling—and, God
knows, he howls enough, goaded by an in
cessant “sick ’em, Tige; yer aint’t er ’fraid
no ’em.”
Finally, I would suggest this query:
Did It ever occur to "Interested Sav&xv*
nahian" that there was anything "mon
opolistic” in the oyster business in Suvan
nah previous to the advent of these new
fledged awful “barons,”—creatures of
phantasmalc nightmare, or disordered
liver?
In conclusion allow* me to add—with an
apology for incroachir.g upon your time—
this letter is written at no one’s sugges
tion or dictation. I am “grinding my own
ax,”—my bread knife, as it wexe. I do
not desire to hold any one’s nose to the
grind stone, nor am I being paid to mani
pulate the Crank.
Arl>or Day.
Editor Morning News: A few months
will pass and we will then have what is
known as “Arbor Day.” I may be a lit
tle previous in my suggestion, but I do
this to give those with us and at a dis
tance time to think, and 1 shall try to
get them to act. I should like to awaken
a renewed interest in the day.
For some reason Arbor Day has not
grown. Its necessity and great good, has
never been made thoroughly plain. School
children do not seem to understand the
day; they are not interested enough,
consequently are careless about the tree
they plant. Grown people think very lit
tle about the importance of the day and
very many forget it altogether. Tour
ists have brought the charge that in Sa
vannah not one-third of the inhabitants
know the names of all of the pretty trees
around them. They also say in the
south particularly,, that one tree is as
ruthlessly destroyed as another, without
considering how valuable the tree is or
might in time become. Even the pine
tree, the curly pine, possesses a value
that we do not now realize. Nature has
traced most beautiful lines, snowing all
manner of figures there on. It will only
take a few artistic touches to develop
these strange and varied tracings
Some appropriate flowery speeches on
Arbor Day by popular orators would be
Instructive and interesting. The little
speech, “If for every hundred trees de
stroyed only one Is replaced something
has been accomplished,” will not do any
more; wo want something more stirring.
Not until a keen, deep interest is felt In
the pretty trees around us, those In the
forests, and those being planted, can
Arbor Day, said to be properly observed.

Effort* to Bofld tlie flnhlonega Rail

Athens, 6a., Marc h I.—Mr. George J.
Baldwin of Savannah was in the city
Wednesday in the interest of the line of
railway which the Chestatee Pyrites Min
ing Company, of which he is president,
intends building from Lula to Dahlonega.
This road will be of great benefit to
Athens.
Mr. Baldwin held a consultation with
quite a number of the members of the
Commercial Club, the result of which w as
that they pledged their hearty support to
the new* road.
The citizens of Athens in furtherance of
this plan and also to preserve an open
line of railway competition will make a
concerted effort to get possession of the
Northeastern railroad, now in the hands
of the stateL
Mr. J. W. Walcott of Natick, Mass.,
was in tho city yesterday. He is connect
ed with one of the largest shoe manufac
tories in Massachusetts, and said that his
company had made the determination to
locate a shoe factory in the south, most
probably in Georgia.
Athens had a wholesale epidemic of
burglary Tuesday night. Eight houses
were entered and various articles carried
off. Two stores, those of Messrs. H. R-
Bernard and C- Y. Wl**r, were burglarized,
the thieves stealing $::7 from the former
and goods to that amount from the latter.
The base ball season is open. The first
game was between tht lawyers and fresh
men, the result being a score of 5 to 5.
A regular series of class games will begin

base ball team will b* boson and several
intercollegiate games arranged.
An elective lineman named Bartlay,

idly drying, was converted into the old
sea of mud. This made the running poor
enough, but the betting public was well
satisfied with the results of the day, as
three out of the five favorites came first
past the post. The talent, however, did
not make any killings on their inning.
Merritt, in the first race, was priced at
9 to 5, while Hi Henry, in the second race,
went to the post at the prohibitive odds
of 1 to 4. Florence R, In the third race,
was a surprise of tho talent at 10 to 1,
and there were few on her at that price,
as the talent would tot put counterfeit
money on her in a race against Zaldivar,
with Turner on top.

FOOT BALL RI LED OUT.
Tile Technological School Roys Not
to He Allowed to Play It.
Atlanta, Ga., March I.—The Technologi
cal school commission has decided that
the students of that Institution cannot
take part in the future in intercollegiate
athletic games. There was some warm
discussion in the commission over the
question, but the result was finally
reached that it was not profitable nor
proper for the students of the institution
to indulge in the future in this character
of pastime. The technological commission
holds that the example of the savagery
that characterize s modern foot ball would
be deleterious upon the students of the
Technological when pitted against other
colleges, and that this, together with the
abstraction from school duties caused,
justified the putting of intercollegiate
games under the ban. The decision is not
popular among the students, for they have
old scores of defeat to pay up, and hoped
for future victories. Several games, both
base ball and foot hall, were slated for
the coming season. The College Athletic
Association Is still In exlstepce, but will
In future be confined to the promotion of
games and sports between the students of
the school themselves.

BOYCOTT OF THE SEABOARD.
The Road so Far Has the Best of Its
Opponents.
Atlanta, Ga., March I.—To-day was the
day on which the proposed boycott, or the
prorating arrangement with the Seaboard
was to be withdrawn by the roads which
are members of the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association, but the boycott is
at least temporarily ineffective. The West
ern and Atlantic this morning having sent
notice to the Seaboard that on account
of the temporary injunction granted
against It by Judge Lumpkin, prorating
arrangements would be still continued.
The Queen and Crescent also notified the
Seaboard that on account of the action of
the Western and Atlantic, or the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway
Company, the lessees, they would not de
ny prorating arrangements. This gives
the Seaboard a line open to the west and
north, but all the other roads of the as
sociation have entered the boycott and the
Seaboard is charged up to full local rates
on all through business by them. While,
of course, some damage is done to the
Seaboard by it, the Seaboard officials think
they have virtually broken the backbone
of the boycott. It remains to be seen now
if Judge Lumpkin will grant the injunc
tion permanently on March 9. If he does
and the matter is carried no further by the
association, the Seaboard will win the
fight, and It is generally predicted that a
permanent Injunction will be granted.
But when the question of a permanent
Injunction is brought up for a hearing the
association's counsel may move to trans
fer the cause to the United States court.
Here a different aspect will be put on the
case, and here the Issue will have to be
decided, under the Interstate commerce
law. Some railroad men are of the opin
ion that the case comes naturally under
the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce
law, declaring that, although the case is
founded on the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Ig>uls contract with the Seaboard
Air Line belt railway, still the matter
concerned even in relation to this little
railway are related to interstate traffic.
On the other hand, In view of the clause
in the Western and Atlantic lease, con
taining the provision that it cannot dis
criminate against any other road, the is
sue may still be one to be Bcttlcd only by
the state courts.
SAVED FROM A LIFE OF SHAME.
A Pretty Girl of 14 Tul.cn In Charge
by the Police of Columbia.
Columbia, S. C., March I.—A strikingly
pretty girl about 14 years old boarded
the train for Columbia this morning at

to visit her aunt. She had neither ticket

to the next station, and when again ap
proached by the conductor she presented
a ticket to Columbia. Arriving here, she
wits on the point of leaving the station
with the newsboy when the police took
charge of her. She gave her name as
Dolly Hodges. No person answering to
the description of her aunt lives here. It
is believed that she was enticed away for
immoral purposes. The newsboy declares
that he never saw her before to-day.
