There seems to be considerable confusion and a great of diversity of j opinion among our people concerning the law in reference to hunting birds, so in order to settle the matter we ' have gone to some trouble in looking up the law on the subject, and copy, for the benefit of those interested, the ' following from the Revised Statutes of the State, 1893: "Sec. 427. (1696.) No person or persons shall at any time or place i 1 within this State take, kill, sell, ex- ! pose for sale, export beyond the limits of the State, or cause to be taken, ( 1 killed, sold, exposed for sale or exported beyond the limits of the State, : any mocking bird, nonpareil, swallow, bee bird, red-bird, wo^dpe^ker, . thrush or wren, under a penalty of five dollars for each bird so taken, killed, sold, exposed for sale or ex- : ' ported beyond the limits of the State; and it shall be lawful for any person to take or destroy any net, traps or snares used for faking suck birds wheresoever found set for such purpose: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall prohibit any j , person from taking and keeping any bird of song or plumage for his own pleasure or amusement, and not for j sale, traffic or gain. < "Sec. 42S. (1G97.) No person or persons shall destroy or rob the nests of any of the said birds under a pen- i alty of ten dollars for each offense. "Sec. 429. (169S.) The penalties incurred for violation of the provisions of the preceding Sections shall , be recovered before any Trial Justice ! in the County where such offense shall be committed and shall be paid : one half to the informer and the ! other half to the Counfy Treasurer j L for the use of the County. "Sec. 430. (1699.) In case of failure by any person or persons to pay any sum recovered under the provis- ! ions of Sections 426, 427 and 428, ' the said person or persons shall be committed to the jail of the County for a period not less than five days, and at the rate of one day for every dollar of the sum so recovered and not paid when the amount recovered exceeds five dollars. "Sec. 431. It shall not be lawful for any person, except upon his own nr nnnn the lanrls of another ! with the consent of the owner thereof, to net or trap a partridge. Any ; person violating this Section shall be j guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon j conviction shall be punished by a fine ! of not exceeding thirty dollars or by j imprisonment in the County jail for j a term not exceeding thirty days. "Sec. 432. (1694.) It shall not be lawful for any person in this State, j between the first day of April and I the first day of November, in aDy year hereafter, to catch, kill, or injure, or to pursue with such intent, or to sell or expose for sale, any wild iurkey, partridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant; or between the first day of j March and the fisrt day of Au- j gust, any dove: or at any time ' duriDg the year to catch, kill or injure, or to pursue with such intent, by fire-light, any of the birds named in this Section. And any person so . ! doing shall be deemod guilty of a { misdemeanor, and upon conviction j thereof shall be fined not more than j twenty dollars or be imprisoned not f more than thirty days. *\See. 433. (1700.) Nothing herein shall apply to any person who shall kill or take any of the said birds for ! . I the purpose of studying its habits or j history, or having the same stuffed } and set up as a specimen, or to any j person who shall kill on Lis premises } any of the said birds in the act of destroying fruit or grain crops."

Muller, formerly ! of this county, after seven years of j faithful service with Lorick ?fe Low- I ranee, has secured an interest in the ' Ingleside Supply Company, of Co- i ^ 1--? U n.i!1 Kn Oftf ttcIt? I iULUUin, auu iicxeaii,"! t>iu wc awitsjj i identified with the firm. Mr. Muller j I has numerous friends in this county i who will be exceedingly glad to learn of his promotion in the business j affairs of that prosperous city, and j wish him all the success that energy, push and pluck will bring him. The Church Claim Before Congress. We are in receipt of a bill introduced in the House by Congressman Stokes, March iStb, for the relief of ! of St. Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran church of this place. The bill appropiates c;two thousand dollars, for injuries of said church, resulting in its destruction by United States troops under command of Gen. W. T. Sherman, in 18G5." It has been referred to the Committee on War J Claims. j Mimnaugb, the Magician. j Mimnaugb, the merchant prince of Columbia, has proven himself to be one of the most enterprising, progressive and successful business men in the State. Starting his business career on a small scale his progress has been onward and upward until today he is the proprietor of one of the largest, most commodious and handsomest business houses in the South, the dimensions of which j were given in these columns some ! ? weeks ago. He has a magnificent I display of a beautiful stock of goods j from the finest and most delicate fabrics down to those suitable for every day wear, and at remarkably low prices. Mr. Mimnaugh is very anxious for an opportunity to prove to the people of Lexington county that he desires iheir trade and if they ! will give him a chance by consulting 1 him before-making their purchases, he will show them that it will be to j their interest to trade with him. His clothing and shoe departments, i efficiently presided over by Messrs. | John M. Stuart and Reuben F. J Corley, two LexiDgton boys, is per- j haps the largest in the State and j bargains are being offered in these lines which are bound to sell the ? goods. Fire at the Depot. About half past one o'clock Mon- j day some cotton on the rear platform j of the depot was discovered to be on ! fire. The alarm was received at this j place by telephone and the bucket j brigade was soon on the way to the j fire. The cotton was near the back of the depot, nearly touching it and j the flames ran up the weatherboard- j ing and caught the boxing. By hard and persistent work the depot was j saved, the roof and weatherboard- j ing being only slightly damage. : There were twelve bales on the plat- j form, one of which was totally de- j stroyed and the others were saved in j a badly damaged condition. The j cotton was consigned to the Saxe ; Gotha Mill. * There are several theories as to j the origin of the fire, but the most j probable one is that it originated from a spark fiOm a passing engine, I possibly from the freight going toward Augusta, as the cotton was j near enough the road for sparks to j fall on it. Our people worked hard, faithfully j and intelligently to save the property of the railroad company and it was mainly through their efforts that the depot and its contents were saved. Another fact worthy of mention in this rrmnpotinn is. that had not the depot been connected with this place by telephone the fire would have gotten beyond the control of the few persons on the scene when the fire was first discovered before suffi- j cient help could haveanived.
