Combats Settling-up Theory. Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., State secretary of the Audubon society, has taken issue with the statement printed in The Times last week from the Spartanburg Journal that the settling up of the conntry wipes out the game. "It is quite to be expected," says Mr. Rice, "that certain kinds of big game should make way for civilization; in fact, civilization would not be possible otherwise. The cougar (panther of our ancestors) was too destructive to pigs, calves, sheep and other small animals to be allowed to exist and he was] rigntiy killed out. The same' fate has rightly overtaken the I wolf in well settled communities. 1 "But on the other hand there are today more white-tailed deer; in New England and the Middle] States than there were in colonial j times- vastly more in Maine and ! Massachusetts, and here the settling up theory breaks down. \ Moreover, in my time there were a hundred to one more partridges j in the well settled up-country j to what were in the sparsely! settled coast region; there are I more birds in the up-country today. There are vast areas in this region on the coast still unsettled, but the game is reduced to the vanishing point. There are more birds in thickly settled York than there are in thinly settled Berkeley. There are, however, deer in Berkeley and none in York. "South Carolina has no lack of game cover, no lack of feed and certainly no lack of fish pastures in its magnificent rivers. All it needs are a few patriots in the General Assembly who think more of the State and the welfare'of the people than they do of themselves and their narrow j>olitical interests. "When a fair trial has been made and after a reasonable interval game shows no sign of increase then it will be in order to say that settling up the country drives out the game. "There is more game in Scotland, which is the size of South Carolina and far mare densely settled, than there is in the whole of the Southern States. Here the settling-up theory again fails to work. "With millions of acres of idle land with vast swamps and a fringe of mountains with hundreds of miles of marsh and hummock we are not yet settled up and shall not be these many decades. "Geese and ducks are both increasing throughout America, especially where they have protection. They are not likely to increase in South Carolina with no protection." Hauling Cotton in Georgia. Eight bales of cotton hauled on one wagon over York county roads ?s considered a good load and few farmers ever attempt to haul more, however anxious they may be to get the staple to market. Over at Amcricus, (la., cotton is taken to market on a somewhat larger scale than in this section. One of the sights of the present cotton season in the Georgia city was a single load of 40 bales, aggregating 22,010 pounds, which was hauled into town a distance of 4 miles. It was the largest load ever hauled on one wagon in Georgia and was Eulled to Americus in 30 minutes y a gasoline traction engine used for plowing the fields of the farmer who grew the cotton.

Against Charlotte Bond Issue. Editor Fort Mill Times: The question of a million dollar bond issue by the municipality of Charlotte is being agitated and it is amusing to pick up certain of our city papers and read the interviews on the subject which are printed from time to time. Of course all of the interviewed are for the bonds, but not bv a nr......4- -.11 < ^,i uv:ai ai t' <-iii HiU VOlt'FS IO]"[ them. If the interviewers did j not intentionally overlook the. fellows they mostly ignore they would not announce that all t he j people are for the bond issue. I The good book tells us to remember Lot's wife, and so do theI Charlotte voters remember the recent water bonds. The advocates of the bond issue are trying to impress the voters with the statement that a commission will be placed in charge of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds, but even so, that is not enough. The voter will not know when he votes for the bonds who will compose the bond commission. That is a very important consideration, for who knows but that some of the "interviewed" might compose the commission. In the last city election I voted for Mayor Hawkins under the impression that ho was against the bond issue and was for the city being run with the tax money. I wonder where he stands now on the bond proposition. The poor in Charlotte pay the freight to run the government and get less in return than any other people. I am opposed to the bond issue and predict the defeat of the proposition. W. Charlotte, N. C., beb. 2.
