Who Marders Them at All Seasons for the Cruel Sport of Seeing Them Die. Birds Are Among the - Best Friends of the Farmer. In his lecture on South Carolina birds at the State house in Columbia Prof. Pearson spoke as follows: "Gentlemen of the Legislature of South Carolina: "Ic gives me muoh pleasure to come before you tonight in the oapao ity of a repiesentative of that won derful class of animals to which man kind is perhaps more itdebted than to all other groups of wild animal life combined. "The wild bird's every action is a movement for the betterment of man. To the casual observer this is not al ways apparent. While in a reflective mood the moonlight song of the mocking bird may faintly stir his sen timent, or the honk of the wild goose may cause him to hark back to some inoident of childhood; yet the sight of a woodpecker stealing a mulberry will so arouse his resentment against the feathered race and cause the lust for blood to so bedim his eyes that he win fail to see the unending good whioh the birds are doing. "The reason men do not care more for birds Is because they know them so little. The average person seldom sees a wild bird except when It is fleeing from him in mortal terror. If you would really know their habits, go to some favorable point on the oorder of the woods and sit quietly on some fallen tree or stump until the birds of the neighborhood have re sumed their wanton activity. I have known men who did this to be utterly astounded at what'they saw. "Among the fallen leaves on/the ground the thrasher, the thrush and the towhee are industriously scratch ing for worms and Insects. All through the shrubbery and bushes toe warblers are examining for places where the insects live. Along the trunks of the trees the woodpeckers and nuthatohers and chickadees are prying ana piping into every crack or crevice where a bug can hide. The vlreoe > and orioles and tanagers are leaving no leaf unturned among the upper branches. While above all there courses through the sky the swallows and swifts whioh are strlk hag upon the wing those insects en deavoring to escape the consuming fury beneath. Even at night the work goes on; for then the whippoor will, the bull-bat and the owl popula tion is abroad. "All sommer long this work of de struction continues, and when the frosts of winter have caused the In sect world to fall asleep, and we turn to the bare brown fields, here in every weed patch and sunny hillside may be found flocks from the 14 species of native South Carolina spar rows, eating the seeds of the grass and noxious weeds,, which would otherwise sprout in' the spring to choke the farmers' crops. "But even now the work of insect destruction does not cease; for all day long the woodpeckers and nuthatches and creepers and scanning the tree trunks for the capsules of insect eggs tacked away behind the bark against the warm days of spring when they would hatch and the larvae come forth like a scourge upon the leaves of the fruit and forest tree*. "Our government experts tell us that one-tenth of the entire agrleul tural products of South Carolina la annually a total loss from the rava ges of lnseots, and many well-informed daturallsts unite with the statement that if It were not for the destructive nesa of the wild birds, insects ^rould become so numerous as to shortly reader the earth uninhabitable by men. ? 'South Carolina is naturally rich in bird life. From the mountains to the sttt the apfclea number something over 300. Each species has a part to play in the great comedy of natura; although the good whioh some do is much more apparent than the good wrought by others. "Here is the way we have treated the birds of Carolina. There are men within the sound of my voice who can ramember the times when Hooks of wild pigeons passed o^er this region in such numbers that a single flight would be hours in passing a given point, and the shadow of whose wings would fall like the darkness from a I storm oloud. The pigeon will always I be here,' said our people. 'Lo, let us ?lay and eat, and shoot for sport and fatten our hogs upon the bodies of the pigeon.' Today the pigeon Is gone, and probably no man in his room, the age of the speaker, bas ever seen a passenger pigeon wild in the State of South Carolina. ??- - '--The -ivory-billed - woodpecker, the largest of that noble family, has be come extinct in this State. ' "The only parrot ionnd' in North America, named the Carolina paro quet because of its abundance in Carolina, is~ now extinct within the borders of this State. "When some years ago the ory went forth from New York lor feathers of birds with whloh to supply the milli nery trade, the Carolinas became the great Held of activity of the plume hunters. "Vessels were fitted out with pro visions and ammunition for a long cruise, and the hunters visiting the great colonies of the breeding sea birds on the coasts of the Carolinas and Georgia shut these beautiful creatures literally by the million to obtain their feathers, and the or phaned young by untold thosands left to perish miserably on our sandy beaches. It was in these States that the plume hunters reaped their rich est harvest. For here in our congenial climate the birds had been wont to gather in greatest cumbers; and here also the hunters knew that the birds were not protected by law and that no wardens awaited to warn them from our shores. So like the shadow of a dream our vast flocks of summer gulls have passed away. This was not all I "Into the almost Inaccessible swamps of our eastern country the plume Dusters went to find the breeding colonies of herons and to shoot the old oo.es to procure theairgates which grow on the back in the mating sea son. "The beaches of Fort Royal and the swamps about Georgetown and Charleston were filled with blood, torn feathers, and cries of wildest anguish. Bnt the happy and content ed people of our State knew little of the great killing, and those who did know apparently oared not ; for lb was only birds that were dying. "But God raised up for the birds a saviour, a Moses, in tbe person of Mr. WilliamDutoher, whoso stirred the people of the North that today there is no Northern State but what pro tects the wild birds. "The Audubon society, of whish he is tbe father, has spread its influence to more or less extent in every State in the union and far beyond tbe bord ers of our country. , '? "In 1903 the legislature of North Carolina said that this slaughter must stop, Florida did tbe same. Vir ginia, Georgia and Tennessee followed in quick succession, while at the last session of the South Carolina legisla ture this honorable body enacted the statute prepared by tbe Audubon so olety saying that beneficial wild non game birds shall no longer be killed at any time. ''But the Audubon society is not content with merely placing the law upon t?te statute book, and in South Carolina the stood and greatest step is yet to be taken; namely, proving seme adequate means for the enforce ment of ad bird and gama laws. "A bill including the necessary pro visions has been carefully drawn, and has already been presented to this body. The bill has the approval of the United States government ex perts on State game legislation, the officers of tbe national Audubon so ciety, a number of the hunting olubs and game associations of South Caro lina and many of the leading jurists, sportsmen, and bird lovers of this commonwealth. "Tbe bill provides for incorp"orating the Audubon Society of South Caro lina and giving it powers to enforce the bird and game laws of the State by means of game wardens whom it shall appoint and who shall receive commissions from the governor. "The Audubon society is to pay the wardens for their services. No ap propriation of funds is asked from the legislature, but all non-residents com ing into the State to hunt will be re quired to take out a banter's license at a cost of S10. This money will be placed at,the disposal of the Audubon society to supplement tbe fees and gifts of its members and friends. Tbe organization pledges itself to bo ac tive and to the publication and dis tribution of literature on the value of the birds to the various interests of the State, to disseminate widely knowledge concerning tbe character of tbe game laws, and in ever? way to exert an influenae towards building up a strong healthy sentiment in Ihe State for the protection of the wild birds and preservation of game. "In this connection I may say that this plan Is not an untried experi ment. For example, Just -suoh a law was passed in North Carolina three years ago. Since that time the so oiety has successfully conducted noar ly 200 prosecutions for violating the j laws, such as killing quail out of sea son, shooting song birds and hunting j deer in summer; has mads more than j 40 seizures of game which was being smuggled out of the State to North-' em markets; has distributed more than 5,000,000 pages of printed in formation among the people of the State, and is now employing 45 trusty game wardens to uphold the dignity of bird and game laws in Njrta Caro lina. Tne society has collected from the sale of licenses and from the fees and gifts of its members about 830, 000, with whloh it baa carried for ward this enormous work; and all this has been done without costing the taxpayers of the State one c ;nt. Tbe only person who can possibly obj c* to th?vlaw is the noa-resident who is required to pay 910 for the privilege of hunting; Many Northern gentle men own game preserves in che State ; but it has been found that they not only gladly pay their license because of i the protection whioh. it affords them, but in addition many of them annually make handsome contribu tions to the Audubon work. "It has been my pleasure of recent years to spend much time in the swamps and along the coast of our Southern States. Desiring to be in position to acquaint our people more intimately with the wild life, I have on many occasions used the camera to photograph the birds and their nests. The stereoptlcon views which I wish to exhibit are from photographs made in the field; and the series seleoted for this occasion illustrate more particu larly those Bpecies of South Carolina birds which are of greatest value to to tbe Stare." Mr. Pearson then showed about 75 tinted slides from photographs oi birds, their nests and young; discuss log each in turn and referring to the relationship of that bird to the far mer. Audubon societies have been formed in practically all Southern States ex cept Alabama and the general assem bly of that State will soon be urged to pass a bill. Prof. Pearson goes from Columbia to Greensboro, and in a few days be will go to St. Paul, Minn., there has been asked to leoture at the national meeting of the State game gardens and commissioners of the union.

Winter Eczema sleeps in the system through the long hot months, and gives no sign of its presence; but at the coming of Winter the trouble asserts itself and it becomes one of the most painful and distressing of all skin diseases. The'blood is filled with poisonous acids which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and feverish and the itching intense* The natural oils which keep the skin soft and pliant are dried up by the cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard and dry, giving it that shiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of the disease. The head, face, hands and feet are the usual points of attack,, though other parts of the body may be affected. So painful and distressing is the trouble that the sufferer constantly "doctors" and treats it trying to ge* relief. Soothing washes, medicated ointments and salves are used, but aside from* giving temporary relief they do no good. The cause is poisonous acids in the blood, and these must be removed before a cure can be effected. The only cure for Winter Eczema is S. S. S., the greatest of all blood purifiers. It cleanses the entire blood supply of the acrid poisons and sends a fresh, healthy stream to the diseased skin, healing and softening it and cur ing the painful, itching eruptions. ^S. S. S. enters the blood and purifies it of all waste and foreign matter, and cures Winter Eczema-^-or Tetter as it is sometimes called?safely as well as surely; besides it does not contain any harmful mineral to derange or damage any part of the system.
