A GOOD WORK Being Done by the Audubon So ciety as Shown by ITS ANNUAL REPORT Which Has Just Been Filed for the Information of the Public.?Pres ident Taylor Makes a Statement on the Enforcement of the Game Law for the Year Just Ended.? Society Deserves Support of All. President B. F. Taylor of the South Carolina Audubon society has com pleted his annual report showing the work of the socic- ty since its incor poration by the general assembly at the last session. The report is inter esting in that it shows the improve ment in conditions in the preserva tion of game and that until the so ciety took charge there was little at tention paid to the laws of this State The report submitted by Mr. Taylor is as follows: On March 16, 1907. there went in to effect the statute creating the Audubon society of South Carolina, with powers of a State game and fish commission. On April 9, the incor porators held a meeting in Columbia and the following officers were elec ed: President. B. F. Taylor. Vice president, Dr. H. N. Snyder. Temporary secretary, George S. Heyward. Treasurer. A. R. Hey ward, Jr. The following were elected to con stitute the board of directors: Neils Christensen, Beaufort; 0. B. Martin, Columbia; Dr. P. N. Meli, Clemson College; C. P. Wra.,\ Ridge way. D. H. Coker, HartsviHe; Mrs. Augustine Smythe, Charleston; A. F. Lever, Lexington, and R. I. Man ning, Sumter. Immediately after the meeting the president began gathering all infor mation available regarding the exact condition of game and fish protection in the State. He soon ascertained that in many sections but slight at tention was paid to any of the game and fish protective laws. Game birds and deer were constantly killed out of season, and in some quarters a large traffic of their dead bodies was carried on for' market purposes. Fish were being slaughtered in immense numbers by means of traps and dy namite. Song birds were shot indis criminately and many were trapped to be shipped North. The beautiful sea-birds, which nest in colonies along the coast, were constantly rob bed of their eggs each summer. The license law, which formerly required every non-resident hunter to pay $25 for shooting license, had been sys tematically avoided. Under the old law 14 county game wardens had been appointed. Letters to all these wardens brought out the fact that, owing to inadequate pay, lack of State supervision, and for other causes, they had been practically in active, one of them only reporting two convictions for violation of the game laws for the year previous. On the other hand from all over the State letters began to pour in asking for him from the Audubon society, showing that large numbers of peo ple were interested in bird and fish protection, and hailed with much joy the fact that the State had at length taken an interest in preserving these valuable assets to the commonwealth. One of the first things to claim the attention of the Audubon society was the publication in pamphlet form of the State game law known as the "Audubon law." Fifteen hundred copies were printed and distributed throughout South Carolina and the more important features have been printed frequently in the public press of the State. The importance of this work can hardly be underes timated, as there is no doubt that many people violate the game laws through ignorance of the statutes. More than 5,000 pamphlets, with plates showing the wild birds in their natural colors, have been distributed in the schools, among farmers and elsewhere. These were furnished by Mr. William Dutcher, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies. The work of revising and enlarg ing the warden force at once began. Some of the officers ?vho displayed most interest were recommissioned by the government as State wardens, and a number of additions have been made. The following is a list of the names of wardens appointed and serving up to December 15, 1907. J. E. Rutledge, Lancaster; George A. Malloy, Cheraw; W. L. Samson, Cross Keys; George W. Hazzard, Cat Island; William Elliott, Yemasee; D. J. Salley, Orangeburg: William Ly kes, Lykesland; S. M. Rice, lr., (E. U.) Union; John N. Bates, Spartan qurg; John D. W. Watts, Laurens; J. H. Robinson, Greenville; John Weiking, Charleston; Kajitan E. Kremser, South Island; Victor E. Thelming, McClellanville; Theo. S. Johansen, Frogmore; Charles Ander son, Port Royal, Richard Stone bridge, Savannah, Ga.; E. Y. Fergu son, Enoree; E. A. Sessions, Ridge way; J. W. Wilson, Conway; Frank E. Johnstone, South Island; W. S. McKaskill, Conway; W. Fletcher, Smith, Gaffney; C. W. Boykin, St, Stephens; S. P. Hollidav, Pineville; W. S. McClelland, Pineville, N. O; H. Warren Richardson, Garnett; Thomas B. Earle, Anderson; Halvor S. Svendsen, Charleston; Charles Johnson, South Island; James E. Swan, Mt. Pleasant; Frederick H. Bruggeman, Hilton Head; Robert Sisson, Savannah, Ga.; K S. Villepi gue, Camden; W. H. Wvlie. Rock Hill; J. H. Hook, Clemson College; Dr. L. H" Russell, Greenwood. The warden force is being enlarg ed as rapidly as funds will permit, and it is expected that before long there will be two or more active of ficers m every county. It has been found hard to get wardens in a num ber of the counties, because they, are required to work, and because, in some instances, they do not wish to make cases against their friends. It is the duty of a game warden to acquaint the people of his territory with the character of the laws for tne preservation of the wild game and fish, to see that the $10 non-res ident hunter's license, now required by law, is paid and to arrest and prosecute all persons found guilty of infractions of the game laws. War dens work under the direction and control of the State Audubon socie ty, and are required to makr icports of their activities to the Columbia office. It is hoped that soon arrange ments can be made to put a number of these officers on a regular salary, but at the present their remunera tion consists of fees for work actual ly accomplished, viz.: $10 for each conviction which they secure, and $2.50 for each non-resident license they may be the means of collect ing. Although the law has been in op eration but a short time, its efficien cy has already been demonstrated. In addition to an immense amount of educational work, the wardens have found it necessary to bring prosecutions in a number of instanc es. As a result of their activities, convictions have been secured in the following cases. Killing quail out of season, 4; dy namiting fish, 1; hunting without li censes, 4; killing non-game birds, 2. Eight cases are now pending in the courts. One warden has destroyed I over 30 traps in one stream which were illegally set for catching fish. The dynamiting of fish has already been stopped in many places, and: hundreds of irresponsible people! have been taught that the fish and game protective laws must be re-| spected. On the faithfulness and ac tivity of these officers must depend much of the lasting good for which the Audubon society is working. Many of the wardens have but re cently been appointed and as yet have not had sufficient opportunity to show their abilities. The secretary, James Henry Rice, Jr., has been in the field a large part of the time since May 1, soliciting members for the society, selecting wardens and performing other du ties of similar character. He has al ready visited over half the counties in the State. Mr. Rice has however, been forced to give his attention to other duties than those of the socie- j ty, as his pay is not sufficient from this source aione to maintain him. We hope the income for the coming year will warrant the appointment I of a man to give his whole time and attention to this work. His services in the field have been satisfactory,. but with more funds with which to keep him active much more of the territory could have been covered. He finds in his visits throughout the State that the unanimous opinion of the people is that the society is great ly needed and that the game protec tive laws should be made more ade quate by amendment in a number of instances. These changes are sug gested later in this reoort. By direction of the national gov ernment. the lighthouse keepers on the coast have been instructed to protect the sea-birds and to cooper ate' with the Audubon society. We have had all the eighth keepers ap pointed game wardens, with the un standing that their duties as wardens must not interfere with their duties as light keepers. Already we have obtained from these gentlemen much valuable information regarding breeding colonies, and their constant trips from their stations to Charles leston, Georgetown, Beaufort, and Savannah will enable us to prevent many depredations on islands during the breeding season. The United States department of agriculture has also furnished the society with sev eral hundred copies of their publica tions of ''Game Laws" and the "Val ue of Birds to Agriculture." These have all been distributed in the State. The outlook for the Audubon so ciety work in South Carolina is very promising. Already a very substan tial membership has been enrolled and this will increase as the objects become more widely known. There are hundreds of people in the State who enjoy the sport of hunting or angling; these should all be interest ed in it work. The owners of private game preserves, whether resident or non-residents of the State, will doubtless gladly co-operate with the society, as, indeed, some of them have already sitrnified their willing ness of doing. Every farmer in South Carolina should be a local friend of the so ciety, which is laboring.to preserve the valuable insect-eating and weed destroying birds, by whose efforts in field and grove his lands are enab led to produce their annual viel I And then the outlook is bright he cause the movement is a good one and is founded on sensible principles. In 37 States in the Union, Audubon societies exist and everywhere they are having an enormous iufluence for good. B. F. Taylor, President.

THE OLDEST MAN IN AIWERICA Escaped the Terrors of, Many Winters By Using Pe-ru-na. "I Attribute my 1 Extreme Old, Age to the Use ] . t of Pe-ru-na." \ Mr. Isaac Broch, HQ Years Old Last Birthday. ISAAC BROCK, a citizen of McLennan county, Texas, has lived for 119 years, i'or many years he resided t.t Bosque Falls, eighteen milc? -west of Waco, but now lives with his eon-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas. Some time ago, by request, TJ ncle Isaac came to Waco and sat. for his picture, holding in his hand a stick cui; from the grave of General Andrew Jackson. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gontleman, showing few signs of decrepitude. His family Bible Is still preserved, and it shows that tho date of his birth was written 119 years ago. Born before the United States were \ formed. Saw 22 presidents elected. Fe-ru-::a /;rs protected him from all sudden changes. Veteran of four wars. Shod a horse when 99 years old. Always conquered the grip with, Pe-ru-na. Witness In a land suit at the age! of 110 years. Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest ] remedy of the age for catarrhal\ troubles. IN speaking of his good health and ex treme old age, Mr. Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have, he ought to have found out a great many things by ex perience. I think I have done so. "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper thing for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For 119 years I have with' stood the changeable climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to the affoc tious which are due to sudden changea in the climate and temperature. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Pe-ru-na, I have found it in be the best, if not the only reliable rsmedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many year, and I attribute my good health and ex treme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects me from the evil ef fects of sudden changes; it yivea mo strength; it keeps my blood in good cir culation. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. "When epidemics of la grippe flrstbe gan to make their appearance in this country 1 was a sufferer from this dis ease. "/ had several long sieges with the grip. At first I did not know that Pe-ru-na was a remedy for this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh I tried Pe-ru-na for fa grippe and found it to be just the thing." In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes: "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. I would not bo without Peruna." Tours truly, A letter-dated July 3,1906, written for Mr. Brock by his wife, Sarah J. Brock, states: "Last winter I had just gotten up out of a spell of sickness, when I commenced taking Peruna. I think it improved my health very much.** In a postscript, Mrs. Brock adds: "He receives a great many letters inquiring about what Peruna will do. I do not answer them all, as I think they can, get a bottle and try it." MONTHLY STATEMENT OP DISPENSARIES IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY FOR THE MONTH OF DEC. lfX)7. All Stock is Given at Consumers' Prices.
