INFORCEINT ! OF GAME LAW i Columbia, Aug. 30?There is prob-j ably at this time more interest in the game laws of this State than ever j before. The people generally > seem j to -want these laws enforced, especial ; ly tDvose that prevent the trapping of ! fish and the shooting of game out of j season. The office of the Chief Game "Warden is constantly in receipt of communications telling of a spot i where his watchful eye is needed, and many complaints come too to the ' rmTorrnr'e tpllinc ftf the same ' is a society that exists all over this 1 country having for its purpose the ' protection of birds. It is not a mo-11 ney making association, but one ' composed of those who at a personal sacrifice work against the extermi- J nation of the feathered tribes. Frank Hampton of Columbia is President ( of lie South Carolina branch of this society. The 1915 Session oi' the Legisla-1 ture passed many amendments to the game laws; mostly local laws, re-j quiring license in this county, but: not in that; fixing a closed season for ; a certain species for a certain period In one county and for a different per-' iod in another, and variously changing and fixing the regulations. If , ytm are interested in the game laws | ? and requirements the office of the j Chrt-f Game Warden in Columbia will j stud you upon request a copy of the ; laws In pamphlet form. The State of South Carolina is a right big piece j of territory for a few men to watch, j and so 5f the people do not help it is ! impossible to know what is going on in all \^e streams, and fields and -woods. Notaries Public are something like books, to the making of many of j them there is no end. Nearly seven ; hundred have been appointed within ! the last seven months and the cry is still they come. A notary is the j only officer in this state that has to ' pay for his commission, and all he ! can do after appointment is to certify to an oath having been taken be-1 fore him. Some few make a little money by this certification, but most notaries want their commission for oriiy the convenience it is to them in their own business and never receive a cent. In fact, being a notary * is to a great extent, troublesome for i ones friends are constantly 'drop- * ping in with the request that a pa- 1 per be probated. Every now and * then a notary writes the Governor { asking that his commission be revok- * Sf) hp pan riH himcol-f nf tViie I ! ex. The law says that to be a notary ( one must be a qualified elector, and 1 4hat the application must be endors- ' ?d by at. least one member of the 1 county legislative delegation. Be- I sides that Governor Manning requires ' ?on the application, residence, age ' occupation and color. 1 Bichla.nd County #has asked for ' iujuic nuwiics tnan nas any oiner, oy i1 having been issued in this county. ! Thirty one requisitions have been xnade on other states by Governor 1 Manning since he has been in office -for the return of parties wanted for ' tcrimt in this state, and twenty five 1 "t-xnaditions have been granted by 1 him for the return of those wanted < 'for crime in other states but who "ihave taken refuge in this state. Most o? these transactions of course are < w>th Georgia and North Carolina, 1 natters. These complaints are all ' looked into promptly, and are either , handled through the local magistrate ; or Jocal warden, or if circumstances call for it either the Chief Warden ' himself, or one of his d?puty war- ; go to the place to do what is m-cessarv. I Game Wardens, like notary pub- 1 lie, have an unlimited term of of- i fice, unless a governo~ should chop off his official head. Like notaries, too, the office is without salary, tho ' some compensation can be'had from collection of fines imposed on violators convicted. The Chief Game Warden receives a salary of $1900 a year and is appointed for four yeaTs, a definite term. A. A. Rich-1 ardson, the present Chief Game Warden, was appointed in February, 1D13, so that his term of office will oo't last that of the present adminis- ' tratjon and the other state officials, they going out January 1917 while his term goes on for a month and a half longer. The appointment of ' a Chief Game Warden by the way is a multiple affair. The law says: The Audubon Society of South Caro- | lir/& shall send in the name of a suitable person to the Governor. On ! - approving this nomination, the Gov- i1 emor shall transmit the name with , his recommendation to the State ' Senate. Should the Senate approve, 1 etc, etc. So to be Chief you have to ' piJease the Audubon Society, the Gov- 1 emor, who appoints, and the Senate, ' xeho confirms. Who is this Audo- 1 Sncio+v vnn want +n l-nnn;? Tt ^ tho in some cases the far states are involved. All of the requests for extradition have come to this stat: from southern states, but we have issued requisitions to Ohio, Oklahoma, New York, and Kansas besides the Southern States both near and far. The handling of these matters are frequently difficult as ofter it is a close question whether it is s civil or a criminal matter and other knotty considerations frequently arise. A requisition is a formal paper, done up in much ribbon and seals and carrying besides the governor's signature that of his Secretary in some States, or that of the Secretarj of State in other states. In this 0 State there must accompany the requisition the arrest warrant and the solicitor's affadivit, and all other papers pertinent. HOME CONVENIENCES MAKE COUNTRY LIFE THE HAPPIES! I spent five months about a yeai ago in a typical cotton manufacturing town of 6,000 people. The mill worl< ers were mostly those who had come in from thefarm, many of whom were seeking an easier job. The children worked eleven hours each day except Saturday, when the time was cut to five hours. In this mill town the families?and all of them were large?lived in three and four-room houses. The houses were built close together, not too well ventilated and Righted, though most of them were comfortable. On close investigation I found no clubs, no "parties" for the old people, no literary meetings, no social intercourse at all save occasional visits. These visits, too, were few, as the mother had little time left after cooking and sewing for the family. The owners of the mill were interested in the welfare of the woi-kers. I am nui punning out an example 01 me worst, but rather the best. The people in the cities?that is, some of them?do not live any better than those in the cotton mill towns re ferred to above. The women work like slaves from morning till night and live herded in with dozens of dirty human beings .There is social intercourse of sf kind, but is it the kind the average American woman ivants? How often do you suppose the hearts of these women yearn for the open fields and the green grass jf the hills and prairies! What tvould they give for a life in the open iven the life of a tenant farmer! Here are two examples of town and nty life. The average person who ivrites of the loneliness of farm wonen contrast with them the wealthy ilasses of the city. It is true that the vives and daughters of the wealthy lave more advantages, but they vould have superior advantages in ;he country as well as the town. If a jerson has plenty of money, he is inlependent o fplace. So will not this statement about tell the tale? The voman in the country does not possess all the advantages, but she is eally even with the women of the :ities. The other place always looks he best. The city man wants to go ;o the country; the country man vants to go to the city. There are several ways that the life >f the farm wife can be made hap>ier, easier,-more satisfying. These vays are already in the making. Mak ng the school the social center, orga lizing rural societies, good roads, lutomobiles?all these and more are nighty forces for bringing farmers' vives closer together. When every farm has its watervorks, when the wife has running vater, a bathroom, and such con'eniences as she is fast getting, not >nly will her social life compare favorably with that of the city wife, but t will be superior. Now it will not :ompare unfavorably. W' D. Little in Progressive Farmer. urwfcr nrro It is at Munich, in the land of beer, ;hat they meet one week in May ?ach year to pay honor to the black )eer specially brewed for the occason and called bock beer (biere de >ouc). During these eight days fat;ed calves pigs pullets sausage and )lack radishes are absorbed in enornous quantities. In normal times :ertain Bavarian brewers retail as nuch as 30,000 liters of beer in 24 lours, to accelerate the digestion of ;hese provisions. Bock made its apjearance in France with the German seer houses of the exposition of 1876. Some pretend to find a reason be:ween the time of the brewing and ;he season when the bock is in his nost gallant humor, for the name ?iven to this beer. The truth but little known is that the name bockbeer is derived from 'Eimbock-bier," formerly called the Deer of Eimbock or Eimbeck, a little Hanoverian town renowned in the Fif teenth Century for its beer?Le Cri :le Paris.

These notes are prepared weekly | by the Dairy Division of Clemson Col lege which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying. Kindness is a bigger factor in milk production than many think. A cow is very sensitive to excitement, rough treatment, boisterousness and other abuse. The increase in the number of cows in the United States is by no means keeping pace with the increase in ' population. Milk is damaged by dirt and bacteria. To be fit for use, milk must be clean. Any clean man can produce clean milk. Remember that the quickest and easiest way tobuild up a good dairy herd is to save the best heifer calves. Dairying is not an easy business. It requires brain power. Therefore, it is broadening an educational. Be sure to# feed some sort of green succulent feed during the cold winter months. Prepare for this now, if you have not already done so. It is always well to have the fat in a ration a little in excess of the t amount required, to keep tne diges-1 ; tive system in good physical tone. , Palatable food stimulates the cow's appetite and aids digestion. A cow [ will always give better returns when i she relishes her food. ; During the eight or ten weeks that i cows go dry, their food should be chiefly roughage. But highly carbon aceous roughage, such as straw and corn stalks, is not good at this time. , For ten days preceeding the time ' of calving, the cow should be kept in ja comfortable, well-littered box stall* , or pen, in which there is no manger. 1 Feed her from a box or basket. When in doubt, think of Denmark, 1 which buys our grain to feed hercows, ! ships butter to this country, has a | tariff put on it, and then sells it to us for less than American butter of a lower quality. The average cow will give birth to geven or eight calves during her lifetime. Some cows will produce milk and breed until they are twenty years old, but the average for a cow is about ten years.

Franl Bolt, in going through some old papers today, which belonged to his grandfather, the late Asa Bolt, rar across some very interesting old documents?some of them dating back tc 1798, and some as far back as 1788, The papers bearing these dates were original land grants and bore the signature of Thomas Pinkney, governoi and commander-in-chief. These old papers were beautifully executed, the penmanship showed up especially wel] and though the papers are yellow with age, and beginning to crumble, is clear and distinct. Of more peculiar interest, perhaps, than the old land grants is a receipt from the Confederate government, signed in April, 1865, for "Tax in Kind." This receipt states that it is an estimate and assessment of agri cultural products which are taxed in kind, aerreed unon bV the assessor and taxpayer, and the va!ue of the portion thereof to which the government is entitled, in accordance with the provisions of the acts of congress, "to lay taxes for the common defence and carry on the government of the Confederate states." Among the exemptions noted on the back of the receipt are the fol ?
