i THE GAME LAW ry: ??? ~? IS MORE STRICT THIS YEAR THAN IT WAS LAST .YEAR. Joints of Interest About the Law That Should be Remembered by j All Hunters. On last Tuesday the season for -hunting such game as is found in thiasection of the Stave opened, and; Irom now until the first of March it it lawful to kill partridges, doves, wiLl turkeys and other game that may be found in our forests and fields. 'As the General Assembly last win ter passed laws which will consid erably restrict bunting privileges Irom what they have been hereto fore, it will not be amiss for hunts men to freshen their memory a bit ?on the law ere they venture into the haunts of the denizens of field and forest > The law says that no wild turkey -or partridge shall be bunted between ithe first day of March and the fif teenth of November, nor any dove between the fifteenth of March and the fifteenth of August. Willet ana grackle must not be killed between the first of March and the first of November. Any person violating ?this section of the Act shall upon conviction be fined ten dollars for ?ach bird killed, caught or pursued with such intent. , It' is unlawful to kill more than ? twenty-five partridges, twenty-five doves, twelve woodcock or two wild turkey in one day. Any persqn vio lating this Act shall upon convic tion be fined twenty-five dollars or imprisoned not exceeding thirty days. Any bird killed in violation of the law shall be confiscated and sold to the highest bidder, and the proceeds of the sale shall be trans mitted to the state treasurer and be credited to the game proteciton fund. The Act also makes It unlawful to buy. or seil doves, willet, partridge, woodcock or wilk turkey. Any one vio lating this Act shall upon convictiou be fined ten dollars for each bird sold, or Imprisoned one day for each ?dollar fined or unpaid. No one shall keep in cold storage or a refrigera tor, except In a private dwelling, and partridge, dove, wild turkey, wood cock or willet. A fine of not less than fifty dollars and not more than"one hundred dollars is provid ed for violation of the section, or imprisonment one day for each do] lar fined or unpaid, either or both, at the discretion of the court. It is provided that all fines and forfeitures obtained for violation ot the Act shall be paid to the stafi treasurer to the credit of the; garni protection fund and shall be disburs ed by the state treasurer on the ?order of the chief game warden of the state. It seems to be the gener ial desire that the game law3 this ?year shall be strictly enforced, and all good cKizens should aid in en forcing it. The law has been given in respect to that kind of game which is to be found in this section of the state. The time for the hunting of deer, ?wild duck and rice birds varies, as this i-anie is found in the l.ower sec tion the State, law respecting it would not be of Interest hereabout. Should any of our sportsmen wish to hunt deer, ducks or rice birds, whicn abounds in large quantities in the coast counties, they had better read ?up the law in reference to that kind of game. ' * The Right to Protect. ; The Savannah News says: "Sou-Vn Carolina has a kick coming, and she is goin: to make it right away. A Massachusetts farmer is alleged to have made a "world's record" by raising 103 1-2 bushels of corn on an acre of ground. We have for gotten precisely the figure of thi Florence county South Caro'iua, 17 year-cld ncy's crop on one acre, bu: It-seems to us -that is was somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 bushels. There are lots of farmers in Geor gia who can do better than 103 1-2 bushels to the acre. The Florence boy made 22S bushels to the acre, ever double the Massachusetts far mer. "The Girl in the Taxi."

Ann Thompson, an old colored wo man, who fives a few miles from this city over in the Fork, claims to have been film, flammed out of $75, which, she had laid aside to pay a debt, by a slick rascal of her own color, whom she entertained one night, and who claims-to be a hoo-j doo doctor, with powers to make all [ things come to pass. Ann believed in him at first, but she doesn't any rapre. It seems that the slick rascal came along about last Thursday and knocked at the hospitable door of Ann Thompson, who occupied a i cosy cabin with her husband, whom ' she had married only a few weeks before. The stranger was taken in, and somehow be fou d out that Ann had $75 saved up with which she was to pay a debt she owed a white gentleman of the neighborhood for supplies or rent, or both. He then let out by accident that be was a hoodoo doctor, and if Ann would commit to his care a few min utes her $75 she would find when she went to pay her debt that her $75 bad increased to $100, which would leave her $25 after her debt was paid. She gave him the $75, which, after many Incantations and hoodoo mumblings, he pretended to wrap up in a bag, and told Ann lo let It remain unopened for a day or -two. Ann agreed to do this and all went happy to bed. Next morning when Ann and her husband went out they found that their guest had departed during the night, and, as -the sequel proved had carried the $75 with him. As/soon as the stranger was missed, they took down the box in which he had claimed to have put Ann's 57 5, and all they found was some old to bacco tago and pieces of bright tin. No trace of the flim flam artist could be found. He had gone with Ann's $75, and she is now somewhat poor er, but wiser about hoodoo doctors. ATTENTION, TEACHERS!
