This is a! combination of three large brick plants near Rock Hill. h^bbbsb n CRIMINAL SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS. 1 ] In his annual report to the ^ -.egisiature, James Henry Rice, ( fr., secretary of the Audubon \ Society of South Carolina, writes i >f many matters concerning the " )ird, game and fish laws of the state. With reference to the lestruction of birds, Mr. Rice ! ;ays: ] "In South Carolina the Audu- ] >on society has made a marked , lifference in the observance of he laws, and many communities low spare valuable birds that 'ormerly shot them. In some daces violations of the act for . he protection of insect-eating lirds continue, and these violaions for the most part are comnitted by boys who have not >een properly taught. This will >nd with a further spread of knowledge of the birds' value. But there is another class of 'iolators to whom no appeal can iver be made, and that is the nan who shoots birds for their tlumage. He is in a business, orbidden by law, for the money o be made out of it, and no such nan ever listened to anything iut a heavy fine or a chaingang entence. "A few general facts may ssist to put the vast dertruction f bird life more clearly before he reader: "Europe uses annually one undred and fifty million birds 11 the feather trade and formerly imerica used as many a total f three hundred million, oroneifth of all the birds in North America. Lately a good many tatemcnts have gone forth to he effect that native American lirds are no longer used in the nillinery trade. These statenents are made in good faith on greements entered into between he heads of the millinery trade nd the Audubon society; but the tatemcnts are not true! Dealers 11 Columbia, at least, have sold <\.ti -l.i. .. -i- ...l. - I^icucn mi.-. 1.Ml, (III III HI 11 WIIC'll onvicted in court they claimed o be ignorant <>f the law. Both 'hiladelphia and New York were rlutted with nonpareils last sum- \ ner, said to have been sent l'rom j 'harleston and Savannah. There loes not appear to be much v rinciple involved in the millinery >usiness, nor does it seem worth chile regarding- any statement hey make. "This has led to the destruction 1 T more birds than all other c auses combined and civilization j tself is menaced. t "Next in importance comes the gg trade, which still goes on. lespite the efforts of the United t Itates and of the Canadian ( fovernments to stop it. These ggs are generally shipped to 1 iurope and their contents are J ised in the refining of sugar and n glue factories. "Twenty years ago there were housands of the rookeries or reeding places of the snowy lerons around Charleston. To- t lay but two remain, having some ixty odd birds in both. They cere shot into and partially lestroyed this year. "In this contest for the birthight of a nation every good itizen must take a hand; it will lever be won by anybody else. The politician and the man bent, >n selfish ends are of no use in iuch a contest. The appeal is to he citizen who loves his country md means to save it from hreatened ruin.

More Pay for Constables. The Y irk county section of the general magistrates' bill which was passed by the Legislature hist week contained a provision tht magistrates' constables shall i paid C( ids per mile for taking prisoners to ail, the compensation to up, , lo both the constable uno pri- >ner. but for only one way. This provision was inserted in the i.:n i... o vo him uy ot'iiaior f>i?'wari, WHO recognized the fact that the annual salary of many constables in the county was small ami that it often entailed a hardship upon them to take their prisoners to jail without extra compensation. Hereafter when a prisoner is committed to jail from Fort Mill the constable will be paid $1.10 for mileage, the distance; to the jail being 22 miles. Mr. E. A. Smith, of Charlotte, las made the hearts of the Baptist people of Pineville rejoice by liberally donating them :he nice sum of $900 towards the erection of the commodious and jp-to-date church building which is now going up at that place.
