ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS Earlicrt White Settlers in America Offered Bounties for the Heads of Obnoxious Birds. The crow was on the American continent wfieii white men settled here. He had lived on terras of amity with the Indians, and when the whites came he admitted them to his acquaintance. He thought they were his friends and he believed that they set out ^wide fields of corn for his edification and entertainment. He accepted what he understood to be the white man's in * ?- A-.J .1 vltation to ear newiy piameu auu freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred. He misjudged the white man. These early settlers found fault* with the habits of the crow, and anions the old statutes, especially those of Maryland and Virginia, one finds offers of bounties for the heads of,crows. There were also bounties for tiie scalps of wolves, foxes and bears and the heads of squirrels. In 1728 the Maryland council and assembly enacted that each taxable person in the colony should bring in each year three heads or scalps of crows, and the same of squirrels, and for each additionai crow or squirrel scalp shtnjld receive two pounds of tobacco. Statutes having the same aim ' are found in the law books as early as > 36S0, and other acts with revisions and amendments are found up to and following the American Revolution. ?

Upper stories were added from time to time until today the building is a stalwart structure four stories high with accommodations for 325 cadets. After service as a tobacco inspection warehouse the Citadel was used for guards who patrolled the city's magazine on the. outskirts of Charleston, and it was during this period that the name Citadel came into common use in describing the building. The guards were called Citadel Guards. In 1812 the state decided to convert the Citadel into a military colWo am) nn December 20 of that year the South Carolina military college had its genesis, the "Arsenal" then at Columbia being used as a preparatory school. With the outbrcka of the war between the states Citadel cadets joined the Confederate army and some of the South's most famous soldiers developed from among them. Citadel men arc said to have fired the first shot of the war when the steamer Star of the West endeavored to bring supplies to beleagured Fort Sumter.
