To Protect the Birds. The efforts of the Audubon sot oicty in tint? State <to prohibit the illegal kilting of game bird? out j pf reason and especially that fq&ture ot the work in reference to the hunting of non-residents is a matter whjch is being watched with favorable commendation in this community. A number of gentlemen were djscussing the J work of the society a day or two ago and the determination was j reached to communicate at once ! with Mr. Jas. Ilenry Rice, Jr., | State secretary of the society, j with the view of having a local; AudJj^i agent, appointed, and the ^^^of our esteemed citizen Mr "Blankenship was suggest 'd aS?one who would likely look after the interests of the society and see that all violators of the law arc; vigorously prosecuted. Fort Mill township being on the North Carolina border, there is every year a great deal of complaint against the pot-hunters and others who come from across ?he line in North Carolina; and kill ' the birds, principally | partridges, in many instances | for the Charlotte market. Often these hunters can he seen, sometimes half a dozen at a time, j tiugmiug Hum tuc cany morning train with guns, dogs and the pockets of their hunting coats bulging with shells ready for the day's slaughter. These "sports-! men" seldom are men who elect i to courteously ask the perm is- j sion of the land-owners for the privilege of a day's shooting on their premises, but at once proceed to their work of destruction, regardless of public or private interests. Rut even should these j alleged "sportsmen" secure the consent of the land-owner to j hunt on his premises, there is a State statute which makes the hunting of non-residents who do not procure the necessary license a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $100 or service of 30 days ; on the county chaingangfor each J and every violation of the law. The land-owners hereabouts1 have suffered no little from these : Mecklenburg county pot-hunting j poachers and it is therefore: hoped that the Audubon society ! will lose no time in extending them whatever aid the societyj possesses to the end that the law . will b? enforced and that their rights will hereafter be respected. The Times therefore is pleased to recommend Air. Blankenship as one who wilt not hesitate to prosecute violators of the 1 law. Mr. Blankenship is not only a land-owner but is also a gentleman and a sportsman who obesrves the law and other people's rights. Next Saturday, tha 2-lth, is the day appointed by the county board of education for the holding of the election to decide whpthpr n tiicrh cr?hf\nt rlorva rt_ ment be added to the Fort Mill graded school. As we understand it, the last legislature ap-1 propriated $r>0,(XX) to be used by j the small towns for the establish- i ment of high schools, the sum of . $5C0 being allowed each school | annually lor the maintenance of j the high school department until} the yearly appropriation has' been taken up. Already a numbcr of towns have voted favorably upon the question and the beginning of the next school term vvil1 witness much hnproveed and advanced educational1 privileges throughout the State. | So far as we know there is no plausible reason to oppose the nigh school in Fort. Mil!, since it is promised that there will not be r.n increase of the tax levy or any additional cost whatever to the people of the town and township. However, little objection ! has been heard and it is expected that the election Saturday will result in a big majority for the school. In traveling through the country nowadays one is struck with the absence of the wooden hoard ; which some years ago adorned a post at eacn mad crossing ami told in bold letters the point to which each fork would lead. Can it be that the people thought them unworthy of erection and let them rot away and not1 replace them with new ones? Hardly so. The cross roads .sign js not only a great help to the traveler, but it is almost a necessity. Without them he 4s j compelled to stop from time to time and inquire his way or get pn the wrong road and get lost. 'We would like to see the State make an appropriation for the1 erection of good, substantial sign , YkfifU* at each road crossing and jmpo3 a heavy fine uix>n those who destroyed or damaged the Kl ? iiijpwa It fs painful to read the par- r ticulars of the ntimeto<us\ divorce J suits that fill the columns of the < daily papers. Many of these < sad events are from good homes " (and the interested parties 4?tand high in social life, and not * few in church life. This ^onnrstfJon < between husband and wife is one | of the scenes ip lvuniaft ! j existence.* Many times either JA'ouid prefer death to th?s un- . happy parting:. For years they ] have lived together and their j' li /es have been blended into one. j They have learned by bitter ex- ( perience, as the years have gone j ( by, tdiat they are net suited to f one another and finally, in a j moment of discord or passfon. ! j. the silken cord has broken and i \ .they separate forever. Let us ^ hope that in the world to come, when they ean see all things plainer than they do in this life. :A they may be united again, but | there is a probability thai unhappy marriages, resulting from ( unsuitcd dispositions, will not result in union or happiness in this world or the one to come. The Times acknowledges re- \ ceipt of another newsy (?) corn-1 munication from Senator Latimer ] who is assisting the immigration : commission in spending some of ;; Uuncle Sam's cash on worthless * foreigners, but as the esteemed ; Senator has again overlooked the 1 important feature of enclosing a ; ^ chock to pay for his would-be c free advertising we most hasti- 1 ly consign it, like all former let- t ters, to the. waste basket. We ! an- m?r inserting iree advertising ; < or tooting the Jiorn of any poli- ? tician free of charge at present. * t The court of Mecklenburg coun- ? ty doubtless smashed records last j week when a term aggregating s fifty-four months was imposed ! c upon seven negroes for stealing 1 a lone watermelon from a coun- 1 try wagon. The rogues will be 1: oil' the roads in due time to eele- t brate their liberation by devour-; y ing another juicy Mecklenburg I i melon, but it is not likely that y the next one will he "swiped." ' i The man who owns his home ? is in a position that the renter i ? can never reach. The renter \ usually finds that his rent is too , ^ high, or he is dissatisfied for 1 some reason, and is restless, and S; discontentment stalks before him. He wants to move. He * does not take the same interest ; in municipal affairs, nor is he as i * solicitous of his neighbors, as I the man who owns his home. The Times takes pleasure in ? extending congratulations to the i ^ Winnsboro News and Herald up- j S on the marked improvements in j' the last issue of the paper. The t News and Herald is now issued in 8-page, 6-column form, once- j S; a-weck. It is all home print and ! ; g1k?ws a decided improvement, : both mechanically and in the! . quality of news matter carried. 1 is A fair sample of the working's jk of a prohibition law which grants 1} druggists permission to sell whis- 1 key on proscription is given in a ^ statement that a drug store in I j Topeka, Kansas, sold (luring the 1 month of July $1,400 worth of j whiskey and $450 worth of med- I icine. Reports from Georgia 1 will come in later. ! A farmer of lower Fort Mill,' reports that he has sold about i $815 worth of melons this season c from a one-acre patch. Another ' has 200 bushels of onions that 1 were grown on two acres. This 1 is conclusive that cotton is not ' the only moneyed crop; also that;: our farmers are coming along 1 swimmingly. j "Judge Land is will be dead a ^ long time before this fine is paid," , * says John D. Rockefeller of the | $29,000,000 fine imposed upon i the Standard Oil Company. Yes, I and doubtless the mighty John 1 L>. will also have passed penni- 1 less to the great beyond before i the Standard comes across. ; t C When n fitrnnorr i town, jolly him.

The South Carolina pure food law passed by the general assembly at its last session went into, effect on Tuesday of thi3 week, August 20, being six months from the date of its apnrriVttl hv fVtu i*m'ornAi< Tlin X" V ' wj VI1V gV?VUiVl. A IIVlaw is very stringent and is intended to supplement the federal law, which of course applies only to articles in interstate commerce. The act makes it unlawful for any person to sell in this State any of the articles of food or drugs which is adulterated or misbranded under the -meaning of the terms of this act and the penaly is fixed at a fine not exceeding $50 or imprisonment not exceeding 15 days for the conviction on the first offense and $100 or 30 days for each subsequent offense. The act specifies what shall constitute adulteration iw the case of drugs, food^ and confectionaries and what shall be deemed misbranding. It is of great interest especially to all druggists and to grocers handling such articles as may come under its provisions, as adulterated or misbranded. Union Telegraphers' Demands. A good many people are not sure that they know what the striking operators are demanding. Briefly. what they seek is afr follows: * 1. Horizontal increase of 15 per cent in the scale of wages. 2. Eight honrs instead of nine to constitute a day's Work. 3. That the companies furnish the typewriters used by the onerators. 4. That men and women in the service be allotted equal work and equal wages. 5. Minimum salary of operators, $22.50 a month; demanded, $25.87. G. Maximum salary or operators. $82.50; demanded $94.97. These salaries do not include over time. 7. A proportionate increase for chiefs and sub-chiefs. Associated Pross Operators. 1. Day work, six days, eight hours, $30 per week; overtime, GO cents per hour. 2. Night work, six nights, eight hours, $35 per week; overtime, 70 cents per hour. Vacations to remain as at present. Shredded Corn Against Hulls. If the people of York county would only believe and act on the statement of Prof. Harper to the effect that shredded corn stalks are more valuable for feed than cotton seed hulls it would be worth thousands and thousands of dollars to them. A number of more advanced farmers in different parts of the country have quit pulling fodder, cutting corn stalks into stover instead; but hundreds of them still insist on allowing their stalks to go to wast in the fields, while they continue to pay $S or $10 a ton for cotton seed hulls. Prof. Harper's statement to the effect that cotton seed hulls, if used long: enough as a roughness, will kill cattle, should also receive due consideration. There is reason to believe that the professor would never have thought of making either of these statements had he not been absolutely certain of their correctness.? Yorkville Enquirer. No Race Suicide in Chester. We clip the following editorial from the Charlotte Evening Chronicle: Chester county, South Carolina, has produced the prince of nature fakirs. A gentleman from the rural district brings to his county seat some information concerning the enterprise of a turkey gobbler that outlongs Dr. Long. This bird, scorning the life of idleness led by most of his kind, indicated the desire to "sot" and was accorded the privilege he sought. Forty two guinea eggs were entrusted to his material care and he eagerly undertook the charge, giving them his devoted and undivided attention, until in the course of time thirty-seven guineas pipped thpir WAV intn t'10 lov.U "Qtiatracks." The week has elapsed since I his happy result crowned the effort of this commendable Gobblership and the youngsters are all alive and doing well. The mother (?) of the bfood is finite proud of his progenv and gives them most devoted attention, though he shows some misgivings upon launching them into theteething period. This story is vouched for and the narrator will stand by it even though he should fall under the ban of our strenuous President, who possibly mey say that turkey gobblers never sit upon eggs and never hatch out guineas.
