At a meeting of the Audubon So ciety held in .Columbia last week a ?all'to the people for the passage of - a heatera license bill, through the ^General Assembly, was formulated, ?s5Jcsnz were elected and routine mat ters discussed.

Gibbes, Columbia, vice pres ?dent James Henry Rice, Jr., secretary. UUbert R. Heyward, Jr., treasurer. A. plan was adopted to have direc tors from each county, those not Jttvrng been elected as yet. A resolution of sympathy for Dr. William Dutcher, president of th.i national Audubon Society, was fiJBopted. Dr. Dutcher Is ill in New York City. On motion of Mr. Arthur T. Wayne of Mount Pleasant, Secretary Rice trss made member of the American ?Ornithithologists' Union. A meeting 3s in Washington from the 14th of 2foyember to December 1. Secre '.' taryRice will attend. He will occu V X>y * desk In the bureau of bioligical survey in that city. ' .' * Secretary Rice will be in Washing-1 ton two week3. He will attend the meetings of the Union. There he will meet noted ornithologists from all over the world. ' TThe following call by the Society 3s addressed to the people of the ?t?te: * "With the meeting today the Au dabon Society closed the fourth year -of its work. , "la chartering the General Assem Wy laid on it the duty of enforcing the bird, game and fish productive lavs and the further duty of edu cating the people of the State, In cluding the children in the common achools, to a better knowledge of the value of wild birds, fish and animals. "With a small membership, drawn principally from citizens of South Carolina, the Society has endeavor ed to discharge that self-imposed ob ligation. "The Secretary of the Society has 2>?an kept constantly in the field and the press of the State has been freely .utilized for the dissemination of information about birds, animals, , .-flab, and insects. "That this has resulted In wide spread thinking on the subject, lead ing to better observance of the law and tending to the moral uplift of tha people, is a matter of common knowledge. "The great food supplies of fish and game are being carefully look ed into by all civilized people as the population of the world grows den ser and the need of additional food ?upplies more imperative. -.The con servation of these resources has nev er been a debatable question. ."The losses by Insect ravages Im pose a tax on the farming popula tion, greater than any other and this increases all the time. The Audubon Society of South Carolina thinks the time has come tor the people of the State through the General Assembly to take defl . alte and immediate action to pro Tide means of paying wardens for the enforcement of the laws in or der to make them effective. "The simple means of doing this Is by laying a small license on nunt ers, as is done in ?>very civilized country, and by all the American States with the exception of foui. The Society has found by experi ence that this alone will afford ef fective relief to an intolerable corj diflon. The Audubon ? Society of South Carolina, asks from the Stite noth ing but what its Constitution and laws already impose on the lawmak ers in providing machinery to mak3 laws effective. The Society can reap no advantage from it and desires none. What the organized Society has done the great mass of the people assembled at meetings throughout ?the State, and has also done by vot ing for hunters' license. It should be the duty of every ?citizen to see that his representatives vote for saving the people's birth right and to insist that the question be given the right of way until set tled." ? Eight Hundred Dogs Killed. TThe Charleston dog pound closed Saturday after running since the middle of April, a little over six months. During the past week eight do?s fell into the hands of th? canine capturer, and this brought the total for six months' work to 891, of which number 8G0 dogs were killed by the pound keeper. In kill ing 60 maoy worthless curs Charles ton setB wholesome example to Or angehurg and other cities in the State. Hunted Too Soon. Two gentlemen of this city think ing that the close time for birds was out, thought they would try their luck. They went below Orangeburg end succeeded in killing a number of birds. Some one went before a magistrate and swore out a warrant for them. They appeared with their attorney and were fined ten dollars each. The gentlemen regret the ov currence. as they had no Idea of vi olating the law. They simply made a mistake as to the time. ?'BOHEMIAN GIRL." High Opera At The Academy of Mu sic This Evening.

Mr. Kane has been besieged by many managers and while he is booked for a number of the smaller cities, they are the ones that have always been considered in theatrical circles as good as show towns. "Bohemian Birl," Balfe's beauti ful opera in three acts has been pro claimed by critics as his ^master piece and music lovers in this city are already familiar enough with the opera.

Livingston, the efficient and energetic Superintendent of Ed ucation for Orangeburg County, has forwarded his request to Columbia for State aid for 28 school districts in this county. These 28 schools have terms lasting less than five months and also carry a special school tax levy. These are the re quirements necessary to obtain aid from the $60,000 fund set aside by the general assembly to help to ex tend such short terms. The amount which each district may receive is equal to the amount raised by the district's special tax levy, but it docs not exceed $100. If all of the 28 Orangeburg school requests are granted, this county will receive about $2,500 to provide lonier terms for the schools. Reception Committees.

The machine struck the horse and broke one if its front less. Neither of the men was injur ed in any way. CAUSES OF FIRES HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT THEM WHEN THEY OCCUR. A Very Useful List of Fire Don'ts Compiled by a Fire Chief for all Emergencies. With the. arrival of cold weather comes the constant and ever increas ing menace of fires, and some sug gestions along the line of what to do in case of a conflagration, are apt just at this time: It would be a good thing if every householder in the city were to fam iliarize himself with each and every one of the following "don'ts:" Don't get excited' when you dis cover a fire?act coolly and quickly. Don't be without means to ex tinguish small fires, at any time. Don't delay sending in an alarm when you discover a fire. Don't hesitate ta send in an alarm of fire or telephone to the nearest! fire station if . you cannot find the cause of ,.unusual. Bmoke in your building, or immediate nelghbor I uood. "? Don't' neglect to ascertain the cause of unusual smoke, or 3mell of smoke. If it indicates a fire tele phone to the nearest fire station. Don't go to bed and leave a kero sene lamp burning in the house. Don't neglect to watch gas and oil stove when in.use. Don't leave oily rags lying about the premises. Don't allow flues of chimneys to become defeccive. Ra.e them clean en at least twice each year. Don't keep matches where rats and mice can get at them. Above all don't let baby play with matches. Don't place ashes in wooden re ceptacles. Don't invite fires by neglecting to guard against and be prepared for them. (Defective flues are one great cause of fires, and care should, therefore, be taken that each and every chim ney in the house gets a thorough cleaning before the cold weather sets in for good. Ail necessary repairs should be made now. It should not. be Inferred, how ever, that faulty chimneys are tue only causes of useless fires; others might be mentioned, such as kind ling a fire with the help of kero sene, or worse yet, with gasoline, and the careless disposition of matches and lamps. A fire chief who has had occasion to study tho errors which are committed by the average person when handling kero sene and gasoline, and as a result says that the following facts and precautions should be borne in mind by the uisers of the explosive: First, that a combustible vapor 'a constantly rising from the exposed surface of a lot of gasoline. ) Second, that this vapor will dif fuse and spread in all directions for a considerable distance from its source. Third, that a flame, glowing fire or even a tiny spark, will cause the vapor to ignite and flash back to the gasoline proper. Fourth, that only a small portion of this vapor is needed In mixture with air to produce an explosion. Vaults, '11-veutilated room3 and places in which the vapor of gaso line is present are as dangerous as ..ue is present are as dangerous as the proverbial powder magazine, and a match or lighted candle is there fore liable to bring about the same results if brought into such a placs. Fifth, that burning gasoline 's best extinguished by the smothering process, which, if correctly applied, will cut off all supply of oxygen and thus stifle the blaze. The following precauHor.4 might also be observe' n. -i great advan tage by householders when handling kerosene lamps: Do not blow out a lamp while the flame is tii'Vief* uo high. Doing so may force the flame down 'nto thj lamp bowl, and cause an explosion, or at the very least may cause tho chimney to crack. The propsr me thod is to turn down the wick until the blaze is half its usual size, and then to blow across the chimney'3 top, not into it. If the wick is too small to fill the neck of the lamp bowl, the flames are very apt to flash down and ignite the vapor aris ing from the kerosene with which the vessel Is filled, and thus cause au explosion. When a lamp, which has been In use needs refilling, do not take off the burner near another light or a fire. Many children are badly burn ed, and even burnt t-o death, by the overturning or explosion of a kero sene lamp. Above all remember that the re filling of a lamp without having first extinguished the light is a very dan gerous practice. When two-thirds of the contents of a lamp have be^n used up, the remaining third should be filtered through a strainer or piece of cloth in order to remove all particles of dirt which may have set tled on the bottom of the bowl. The char should be removed from the wick of the lamp every day. A half used-up wick should always be re placed by a new one. A lamp cared for along the lines suggested above will always give a bright clear light and will not blacken the burner 01 explode. The attention of all householder! is also called to the fact 'hat old boxes, waste paper, and other com bustible material are very frequently left to lie in back yards. Such ] places are inviting for a serious con- j flagration. ? Ila/anr at Neeses. The ladies of the Baptist Church' of Neeses will hold a bazaar on Sat urday. Oysters and dinner will he served.
