Edgefield needs an Audubon so ciety. A number of persons have signified their desire to join ' since hearing j the splendid ad dress delivered by Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., secretary of the-J State^ Audubon society, before the Edgefield Agricultural club/ on Saturday. Keep up the interest by discussing - the Audubon work wita your frieuds. In his valuable.paper ou "Good Roads," r?ad before the Edgefield Agricultural club. Gen. Butler struck the key note when he ad vocated " the appropriation of funds from the national treasury for the improvement of the public highways throughout the country. The government makes the rivers navigable and^* irrigates^ the arid plains of^th9 west, then why in the name of justice phould not the public highways] throughout the country bi improved u.y funda fr.oj^: the national treasury. As a rule, where road improvement is most needed the resources of the people are] '.limited, makiug it | necessarYi if *he highways are ever to be scientifically construct ed, that outside aid be obtained. AdtJ-essecLby Mr. James Henry | ce, Jr.] * very profitable meeting of the j 'filgefield ' Agricultural club was j . b dd on Saturday last, the presi-1 j L ant, Mr. J R Cantelou, presiding. ? Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., sec retary of the State Audubon so ciety, was present oy invitation and addressed the meeting. Th? . purpose for which the society was organized is the enforcement of the laws for the protection of game and fish. Mr. Rice is em ployed to go up and down the state prosecuting the violators of the law and to create public sen timent for the better enforcement of game laws. ' Mr. Rice being thoroughly con-1 versant twitii every phase of the [ subject gave his hearers many ; facts that were indeed revelations to them. The speaker showed clearly the need for better pro tection of birds that destroy ID ?ects. Aa an example, he related the experience of the farmers i around Blackville, S. G. Last I year it was reported to him that i the hay crop in that vicinity was j almost totally destroyed by the I army worm. He looked into the | conditions and found that some months previous to that time 5,500 robins bad been slaughtered in and near Blackville, and each robin will devour 200 army worms in a day. Thus we see what a valuable bird the robin is as an insect destroyer. Mr. Rice cited a case in 'the* eastern part of the state where considerable corn was damaged : by the bill bug, and an investiga tion revealed the fact that the | partridges, which feed largely "upon these bogs, bad been almost exterminated in that section. Wherever partridges are slaugh - tered in great numbers cut worms and bill, bugs attack corn. Mr. .Rice stated that Marlboro county, the largest corn growing county in the state, can not raipe corn after the lapse of ten years unless toe killing of partridges is stpp: ped within the borders of the county. Mr. Rice was'p^articularly severe upon the hunter who slaughters birds for market, stating that rot j one should go unpunished. In iken last year ho found 10,0001 partridges in cold storageTHe'stat-1 ed that when game is eold a pre mium is put upon i ts extermina-j tion. Mr. Rice also referred to the wanton destruction of fish by poisoning the water of creeks and rivers with lye and green walnut juice, saw dust and dynamic being siso used to kill fish. He appealed to his hearers to organ ize and by concert of action pun ish such flagrant violators of the j game and fish laws. Thi9 splendid address made 9 profound impression opon all who were present, and our people hav^ become interested and aroueed ap never before. Their eyes bavf been opened to the necessity ol projecting game and fish. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Rice's add ress Gso. M C BuHei read a carefully prepared and very valuable paper upon thu sub ject of good roads. We hoped tc be *ble to publish this paper but the crowded conditiou of our col umns makes it impossible, owing to its length. At the suggestion of Mr. S McG. Simkins "Good Roads" will be topic for discussion at the next meeting of the club. Some specialist on good roads will be invited to address the meeting. The next meeting will be held ou the 2nd Saturday afternoon in November at 2 o'clock. Enters Upon Sixth Year. Before announcing his text "on Sunday morning, Dr. C. E. Burts stated that he had just entered upon his sixth year as pastor of the Edgefield Baptist church, and that soma remarks upou how tbe members of a congregation or church can aid the pastor would not be inappropriate. Dr. Burts' suggestions and gentle remon strances, all uttered in the most beautiful spirit, were indeed time ly and will lead to more loyal support and service from the laity of the church. During the past five years Dr. C. E. Burts has labored fearlessly, faithfully, con scientiously, iu Edgefield, and God has richly rewarded bis labors. His field of service has not been confiued to our town. The county, even to the remotest corner, baa felt and bas been benefitted by , the quickening,up lifting power of hip in fluence and personality. May he be spared to labor among us many, very many, years to come. Announcement Concerning the Floxal Parade. Friday tbe 30th of October will be Edgefield's gala day, when all the towu will be full of people, and merriment and life will characterize the occasion. Tb? floral fair will open on Friday morning, October. 30th, in the armory o! Mr. W. W. Adams' hall, and iu the adjoining rooina lunch and oysters will be served for the cemetery association. Tbe greatest event perhaps will be the parade on Main street which will consist of floats, rig?, trades displays, and horseback riders, all dressed in gay attire. It'is not too lato to become-a participant iu this part of the au uual fair, and thus make it a greater success even that it bide fair now to be.
