jminsula fcrpristACCOMAC COURT HOUSE, VA.

Saturday, January 2, 1901.

Rntered st tte Postofflce at Acoomso C. H.,Vs., as seoond-olua matter.

In ita last issue the Knterprise ex¬

pressed the belief that the Senate of

Virginia, with its reputation for con¬

servatism and intelligent act ion,cou ki

not concur with the House iu the

passage of the iniquitous measure,

known as the JordanOyster Bill, and

it is gratifying to us to be able to re¬

joice with the people of Tidewater thatthe bill was defeated. That it WM I

great victory in the interest of righiand justice there is no question, butamid our rejoicings it is well for us to

remember, that the few who by theirearnest and active efforts made it pos¬sible need something more than con¬

gratulations if we would have them

perpetuate for the most part the vic¬

tory which they have gained for us

In a word, those who honestly, perhaps.but ignorantly believe "there art

millions in the oyster industry" andthat other class,who are backing them.because they wish to appropriate to

their own private use "thc naturalbeds, rocks anti shoals" have not

abaudoned the tight. That contest

will doubtless be renewed during tiasession which begins January 18th,and prompt action on the part of our

people, therefore, is necessary. Thcfact, that the Seuate declared, that the

principle of the Jordan bill was rightand defeated it. not on its merits, butbecause of defects apparent on theface of it, emphasises the necessity ofthe people of Tidewater getting to¬

gether and acting as promptly as pos¬sible. In what way we can best pre¬pare ourselves to make the tight is an¬

other question. One thing, at least,seems certain that concessions willhave to be made by us, and to thatend another survey has been suggestedas the best means of satisfying the de¬mands of those remote from Tidewater,"Whether or not this suggestion is a

good one, we are not prepared to say,but if changes must be made in our

oyster laws, there can be no question,that the step in that direction shouldbe made by the people of Tidewater.The day of opposing all oyster legisla¬tion has passed. We must act if we

would not have the wild and visionaryschemes of others prevail to the detri¬ment not only of those engaged in thc

oyster industry but of all of the peopleof Virginia.

The Jamestown Exposition is as¬

sured, as appears from the followingin the is,sue of the Virginian-Pilot ol

January 1st:At a ' watch night" meeting held in

the rooms of the Board of Trade andBusiness Men's Association last nightthe amount necessary to save the char¬ter of the Exposition Company andassure the holding of the great fair,which is t j commemorate one of themost notable events in the history ol

America, the landing of the first set

tiers at Jamestown Island, was subscribed. Tho meeting was attended bjabout one hundred representative cit,Izens of thia city and section. A sim

Har meeting was held at XewporNews and reports of subscription!from the city of tl ie James were re¬

ceived by telephone aud announce)

by Mr. G. T. Shepherd, the secretanof the Exposition Company, Tinhands of the clock had pas.->ed the houof ll when it waan nounced that bu$.5,400 was needed to make up th$1,000,000 required. Newport Newcontributed 15,000, and Mr. I). Lowen

berg, director general of the Expoejtiou Company, on behalf of the Noifolk-Hampton Roads Company, sui:scribed for the balance, amid heart,cheers. The announcement that a!the money required had been suljscribed was the signal for felicitationall 'round, and then those present le:the building to join in the celebratioincident to the advent of the Xe^Year, an event which at this timiunder the circumstances, has a doublmeaning for Norfolk and for titoswho are interested in her future we

were."

The closing day of 1903 found tlLegislature still unable to do busineion account of the absence of memberThe system adopted of calling the roin the House increased the attendantthere, but the body was still ten vobshort of a quorum. The Senate, whichad sixteen members Wednesday,on!had fifteen Thursday,and the body ai

journed until to-day almost imuueditely after being called to order TlHouse followed suit and it is now tiimpression that neither branch wisecure a working majority before Moday, January 4, which leaves jueight working days before the Bessieexpires by limittation.

After eight years we are to have aother leap year, 1904 being on tcalendar as such. Ib96 was the lsleap year. The year 1900, was noileap year because, according to tGregorian calendar, every year divible by four, without a remainder, itleap year, except it be the last ircentury,and then it is a leap year onwhen divisible by 400 without a

maiuder. As 1900 was not divisilwithout a remainder, it was not a leyear.

Teacher's Xmas Gifts.

Mr. Editor;.A few days beforechool closed for Xmas holidays thehildren of Fair Oaks ' school askedue what I wanted Santa Claus to

wing me. 1 told them If he shouldmppeu to come my way he couldnit himself in his gifts. 1 was very

igreeably surprised on Friday moro¬

ng, when every one of the children,ihat have been goiug to school to mc

;his session besieged my desk in a

body and laid down their present*[ can only tell you in part what theywere, viz: money, canned goods,pretty cuff buttons, mustache cupand saucer, picture frame.toilet soap,cologne, nine pocket handkerchiefs,collars and neck tie, pocket book,writing pad, tobacco, box of tooth¬picks, apples, confectioneries.'&c.While the presents were nice, pret¬

ty and cost money I appreciate themfor that, but I appreciate them more

for the kind expressions they bringto me. I could not find words to ex¬

press my gratitude to the childrenfor the kind feeling they manifested.I shall ever look back to it as one of

the brightest and most pleasant daysof my school life. I told them we

have had it very pleasant in this littie school room. I must say in be

half cf the children that it seems as

if each one has tried to see who could

giro me the least trouble and I shallresume my work after the holidaysare over resolved to do them all the

good I can and hope my successor

may have it as pleasant in his or her

work as I have had it thus far thissession. Happy New Year to all.
