Editor Herald and News: t I ft'11 'i subscriber lo your 71aper T wish In drop a few' lines for the I uion Department of Newberrv county. To the brotherhood of I he F. E. & , f D. of Newberry county, Brethren: W hat do we aim to accomplish by or! ganizing? De we mean as an organized body to meet from time to time, at our respective locals, to be benefited? If so in God's name let each and everyone of ns from this time henceforth keep our business strictly to ourselves; then soon I he non-union men will become very much interested about our order and business and when they fail to learn outside of the Lnion what we insiders are doing they will place some confidence in our organization and come into (he Union and not until then. So, brethren, I beseech you one and all, in the name of the Farmers' Union and in the name of the brotherhood, that we live up at once for a more determined fight for our rights, and for equal righls lo all. Now, brethren, we all see and know we are talking and writing too much. Let each of us exam| ine ourselves and profil 1 hereby. Now. brethren, we have a hand to * hand fighl, and well organized we can accomplish our aim; unorganized we can accomplish nothing. Always be on guard. All other classes are organized and they have wonderful success. Why? Jus1 hef cause, they are organized lo accomplish a certain thing, and are business, when they have their meetings. We know nothing of them and never j will know what they do. Why? Just because its a secret organization and i I hey I ell not. T do honestly believe ji we, loo, should make ours a great I deal more slriclly business than heretofore. Now, we call our organization a Farmers' I'liim. Who a farmer? f A y ' '> ?>i" a in.in 'JI ami upwards. I do think, from a general standpoint l!.i on! "farmer.!" ought not lo be, considered here under the age of 21 years. Boys are not men here in' V* Newberry. n11bough wo ili.it jm? men v?!io;iM loo!: eft or the ili-ar b >ys teach tlioiii to ho useful and tanners, so when thev reach the age ui' manhood they may then be well equipped for any and all duties in life. I am a member of Kutherford Union No. 19o. \\ e have a fair mrmbeshin of male members no children. I don't boast being sis so many say, a true blue Union man from sole o!' foot to crown of head, though I think our union the grandest organization the farmers ever have had,I leave it with mv local and other union people whether or not I am a union man or not. T do think the Farmers' Union strietlv a business organization and not children's play. Brothers, let us get down to business and not bolt her so much about other fellows so, if we hold out faithfully and do a great work, let our good works follow us. Yours in the Union, O. IT. Amick. Pomaria, S. C., K. F. P. No. 1. The Audubon Society. The Audubon Society, of South Carolina, lias begun systematic work in Newberry county. State Secretary James TIenry Rice, Jr., arrived two days ago and at once began organizing for the protection of the birds, game and fish of the State. It was evident that the work was needed for on the day after coming here Mr. Rice had two warrants issued before Magistrate Blease for two parties for violating the law against shooting partridges out of season. This is entirely in line with the record of the Audubon Society in South Carolina and in other States. To prevent misunderstanding it should be explained that the Audubon Society is merely an organization of citizens for the purpose of protecting the birds, game and fish of the State. Any citizen may become a member by paying the membership of five dollars and an annual due of one dollar. The society in this State is chartered by the legislature and the objects are set forth in the charter. I hose objects are tin1 disscminaIion oli information about birds among I tIre people of the State and the enforcement of laws for the protection of birds, game and non-mi oratory fish. All the migratory fi^li. such for example, as shad and the like, come under the care of the fish commission. The society is given power to recommend the appointment of wardens who are paid bv ;he -society. The principal work of the society of course lies in protecting insect birds, for the work of insect birds is absolutely essential to the raisin? of crops. Space is lacking to go into details but the United States department of agriculture estimates that insects inflict damage on the crops of i the I nited Slates to t ? n? enormous | total of over $700,000,000 (seven hun! dred million dollars') each year and a loss of one hundred million dollar* to the forests of the country. Now birds constitute the only effectual check on the ravage-? of insects. Tn Texas I lie Mexican boll weevil was about to wipe out the important cotton industry of that great Slate and the insect was spreading so fast that it also threatened the cotInn industry of the entire South. Science was helpless until the birds took a hand in the game and the boll weevil was checked. The chief agent in stopping the ravages of this pest was the hullbat and very naturally the State o| Texas is taking stringent measures to protect the hullbat and even going so far as to buy the eggs and have them hatched out in incubators. Likewise the partridge has proved an efficient check to the potato bug wherever partridges are at all numerous. Tn South Carolina the partridge holds a check on the dreaded billbug, whose destructive work is seen in corn, where the larvae of the billbug, a small white worm, eats out the pith of the stalk until the stalkfalls over and dies. nine birds eat their own weight in cutworms every day during (lie season and the robin will destroy from l/o to 200 caterpillars and the pupae of these caterpillars daily, thus making from 17,000 to 20,000 caterpillars taken out of the community each year by a single robin. To make a long story short it is estimated by the department of agriculture that, crops could not be raided more than two or three years, should the work of the birds s^>p. The whole civilized world has set its fiat against the wholesale destruction of birds that has gone on so long and so persistently. As a rule most boys violate the laws without knowing what the laws are. They should be taught what are the. laws [and why they should observe I lies.* / laws. The State of South Carolina per mils certain birds to be killed dining -'i slated season. These birds an swans, wild geese. brant, ducks, cur lew, plover, rails, gallinules, riei birds, black birds, sandpipers, willets partridges, wild turkey, snipe, wook cock and dove. All other birds are non-game bird and must not be killed at any time | nor must their ues(s and eg?,rs be de stroyed, nor must their plumage In had in possession by any one. Tin only exceptions are (he Rnglish spar row, the sharp-shinned or blue-darte hawk, the Cooper's hawk or hen harrier, the duck hawk, the grea horned owl and all birds which are b; nature destructive of other birds. Crows are permitted to be shot 01 a man's own premises when they an destroying crops. No game bird or other bird may bi sold or served at a hotel or restauran at any time in South Carolina; no may they be shipped out of the State This'about covers the bird laws, a least the most important of them. Th season fir shooting partridges is froti November 1~>, to March 1. Mr. It ice has met considerable en couragement in Newberry and has se cured a number of members fron among leading citizens. Dr. J. A. 1: Scherer is a charter member of th Audubon Society and liis whole hear is in the cause. A list of member may be furnished later. ! The society has no income excep I from membership dues and from non resident license fees. It depends up on the help of the individual citi/.ei ! who wishes the birds of his countr ! saved. Nothing is required of mem bers exccpt the payment of their due and moral support. No active wor of any kind is asked, such as report ing violations. This work is don through the warden. Mr. J. W. lien : derson is warden at Newberry. Hon. Jno. Gary Evans. | That lion. John (5. Rvans is e.\ eeedingly well qualified for tin |scnatorship is generally conceded. 11 ;is among the very best informed me j in the State on national issues an< economic problems generally, bavin ; made a special study of the scienc J of government, llis natural endow | nients are of a high order. ; Brains, knowledge of government:i ! affairs and special, technical in forma jtion. when possessed by a man of fix itv of purpose count in the senate : Mere talk in spread eagle style pn j vokes only derision theiv. Mr. Rvans has done not him: of lat years to keep alive tiie unpleasant j 11 ess of the early 'PO's, but on Hi ? contrary has behaved himself in a dit | nified. manly way. Under the mo> I adverse and often unjust criticism i he lias not uttered a word of con : plaint <>r vituperation. He has tlm shown himself to be a man of poise. All references now by our papei I tit the days of factionalism is ill-tin ed and in bad taste to put it milril| It shows Mr. Rvans' broailness ?i J view that he does not call at tent io j to the position of his opponent i those days of division. As a mer matter of petty polities lie might <1 this with great effect. He does in ask election because of past diffei enees, but on his own merits. Tie ?q peals to no class or faction but to th sober judgment of all the people. Hi speeches have been thoughtful an | dignified, without the least appeal t i prejudice or ignorance. It is urged against him that he ha had enough. Such argument impli( that a scnatorship should go to man who has failed to get something His opponent has sought ollice befon even a seat in congress. So a sent torship by this token should be r< fused a man who has held high olTk and given to a man whom the peop! have refused to give otTice. Such ai gument shows a low conception of tli position, the highest in the gift of tli State of South Carolina. To urg against a candidate for (lie president* of the nation thai he had had enong would be rediculous. To say thai j man should not be elected senah | from South Carolina bec-ni-e lie ha had enou?!h is to a less extent al<o r< I diculous. i That lliere were three men, Join I stone.
