A number of persons have signified their desire to join since hearing ? the splendid ad dress delivered by Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., secretary of the State^Audubon society, before the Edgefield Agricultural club/ on Saturday. Keep up the interest by discu88?Hg;->.the Audubon work wita your frieuds. In his valuable.paper ou "Good Roads," read before the Edgefield Agricultural club, Gen. Butler struok the key note when he ad vocated v tho appropriation of funds from the national treasury for the improvement of the public highwaye throughout the country. The government makes the rivers navigable. andVirrigates the arid plains of^the west, then why in the name of justice should not the public highways' throughout the countryJh?; improved byfiindsj^ V-fr/ii^ the national treasury. As rule, where road improvement is most deeded the resources of the people are' '.limited, makiug it nece?sary, -if the highways are ever to b9 scientifically construct ed, that outside aid be obtained. Addressed by Mr. James Henry | Rice* Jr.! A very profitable meeting of the Edgefield 'Agricultural club was held on Saturday last, the presi , ; dent, Mr. J R Cantelou, presiding. Mr, James Henry Rice, Jr., sec- j ] retary of the State Audubon so ?iety, was present ny 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 vup and down the | \ state prosecuting the violators of the law and to create public sen timent for the better enforcement of game laws. N Mr. Rice being thoroughly, con versant rwith every phase of the subjeot gave his hearers many . facts that were indeed revelations r to them. The ?peaker showed clearly the need for belter pro tection of birds that destroy in sects. As an example, he related I j the experience of the farmers\* ? around Blackville, S. C. Last year it was reported to him that the hay crop in that vicinity was 8lmoet totally destroyed by the army worm. He looked into thep conditions and found that some months previous to that time 5,500 robins had been slaughtered io and near Blackville, and each robin will devour 200 army worms io a day. Thus we see what a valuable bird the robin ?\28 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 bugs, had been almost exterminated in that section. Wherever "partridges are s laugh - tcred in great numbers cut worms and bill bugs attack corn. Mr. .sRice stated that Marlboro county, the-largest corn growing county in the state, can not raise corn after the lapse of ten years unless the killing of partridges ie stop ped within the borders of the county. Mr. Rice mras'paxticuiarly severe upon the hunter who slaughters birds for market, stating that not one should go unpunished. In Aiken last year he found 10,000 partridges in cold storage ."'rle stat ed that when game is sold a pre mium is- put upon its extermina 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 dy narnu being siso used to kill fish. He appealed to his hearers to orgao ize and by concert of action pun isb such flagrant violators of the game and fish laws. This splendid address made a profound impression opon all who were present, end our people hav^ become interested and aroused as never before. Their eyes haw been opened to the necessity ot protecting game and fish. Upon the conclusion of Mr. "Rice's address Gen. M C Bu'lei i read a carefully prepared euri J r, very valuable paper upon thu eui -1 c ject of good roads. We hoped to I be *ble to publish this paper but the crowded condition of our col umns makes it impossible, owing to its length. At the suggestion of Mr. S MeC. 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 texr. '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 upon how the members of a congregation or church can aid the pastor would Dot 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, in Edgefield, and God has richly rewarded bis labors. His field of service has not been confiued to our town. The county, eveu to the remotest corner, has^ felt and has been benefitted by.; the quickening,up lifting power; af hip in fluence and personality. May he be spared to labor anioug'us many, very many, years to come. Announcement Concerning the . Floral Parade. Friday the 30th of October will be Edgefield's gala day, wheu all the towu will be full of people, and merriment and life will characterize the occasion. The floral fair will open on Friday morning, October. 30t'b, in the armory ol Mr. W. W. AdamH' hall, and iu the adjoining rooma lunch and oysters will be served for the cemetery association.
