' ? HE F< ii i . > i |H ? THE NEW HUNTING LAW. 1' As the season for shooting partridges opens November 15th i there is more or less discussion c I of the new game law which went 1 into effect last July. The new law is rather ambiguous in that j it seems to leave the impression j * that a person holding a license' 1 can hunt upon another's land j f without violating the trespass 11 law. This is an erroneous im-11 pression. Even though a-hunter:, holds a license he cannot enter ! j upon another's land without per- j ' mission. The new game law reads as1 J follows: 1J "Be it enacted by the General j I Assembly of the State of South j s / hi I?aI i MO f ^ ! ? v cii i'1111f i, mat t-\ cikv icoiucfit ui j < the State must obtain a license! 1 in order to bunt birds or animals ; within the borders of this State, . except landlords and tenants and ' their respective children on their freeholds and leaseholds, re- < spectivelv, for which license he 1 shall pay one dollar and ten cents : each year. Said license to be ; known as a County Hunters' 1 License and it shall entitle the j owner and holder thereof to ( hunt, in accordance with the laws , of this State, anywhere in the { county in which he resides; , Provided, however, that any landlord may give written permission to any resident of the ' county in which he lives, to hunt 1 on his premises, which said 1 written permit shall be exhibited i on demand of any Game Warden ; or officer, and failure to do so | shall be prima facie evidence of ] violation of the provisions of this , Act." Landlords can hunt upon their * own lands without a hunter's li- ' cense, but if they should happen < to stray over on a neighbor's land without the written per- ; mission 'of that neighbor they i have violated the new Rame law and are liable tofineor imprisonment, even though the neighbor should go into court and state that he had no objection to anyone hunting upon his land. The children of landlords, tenants and leaseholders have the same privileges as the landlord, but J are liable to fine and imprisonment if they, too, should happen to stray over on adjoining lands without the written permission I of the landowner. An employee i on a plantation cannot hunt upon > the lands on which he is employed without the written permission of the landowner. A non-resident, even with the written permission of the landland, cannot hunt upon any lands in this countv without first obtaining a hunter's license for which he must pay $15.25, but any person who has been a bona fide resident of the State for one year previous to the enactment of the new game law, that is since July 1st, 1914, may procure a license to be known as a ! State Hunter's License for which he shall pay the sum of $3. If von are n rpsiHpnf o f fhpl county, a landowner, a tenant , or a leaseholder you or your \ your children can hunt upon the lands you own, rent or lease 1 without a hunter's license, but if ! 1 you are not a landowner, a ten- t 1 ant or a leaseholder you must t have a license or the written per- j mission of a landowner or lease- j ! holder.?Dillon Herald.

THtTI RIOAY, DECEMBER 3, < uummumii sttmut uatii The following: news item was I' irowded out of last week's 1 rimes for lack of space: j A very interesting meeting of j he Parent-Teachers' Club was teld in the auditorium of the; lcademy Friday afternoon, with j VIrs. J. T. Young presiding. : \fter a very interesting observation of primary work given by Vliss Minnie Garrison and one )f her sections, the regular program was taken up. This con- 1 >isted of several musical selec- i, dons by pupils of Miss Lewis | md the reading of several j ippropriate and beneficial papers > by members of the club. J. D. Fulp, the superintendent, made 1 talk on the need of the compulsory attendance law in this district and outlined the mode of procedure towards getting this ict placed before the people with i view of it becoming a law. It . was the consensus of opinion imong those present that no Lime should be lost in making a strenuous effort toward accomplishing this important legislation. The main topic which had been postponed from a previous , meeting was the observing of a Community Service day at the < school in the near future. After i motion it was decided to hold this day Friday, December 3, beginning at eight o'clock in the morning and continuing through- ? 3ut the day. It is the proposed , plan to have all the male patrons , af the school and the friends as i well to assemble on the school grounds on that dav and do some i much needed work to the ' grounds, such as grading, iilling in the low places, making suitable road crossings, constructing Wilder and sand walks from the public roads to the building, and for the ladies to thoroughly renovate the interior of the building and prepare dinner for the men. The various committees were to be appointed by the executive committee of the club which committees will be announced in next week's issue of The Times. The school authorities as well as the members of the club hope to make a grand success of the day and to make it a red letter day in the history of the school. The premises of the school are not it all in keeping with the elegant building and with such a little effort as is necessary to improve :he grounds it seems a shame to let the matter stand in the present condition. With a hearty cooperation on the part of the patrons and friends of the school ;his work can easily be done. Any of the patrons of the school who desire further in ormation regarding the work jlanned may communicate with he president of the club or with ;he superintendent of the school. ?ither of whom will be only too flad to impart all information it hand. Also any advice rerarding the work will be cheer'ully received by those behind he day.

The members of the club wish it understood that this day is not for the club only but for the entire community and especially invite all the people of this school district to be present. Only the members of the high school grades will he present from the school. The fall term of the court of general sessions will convene at York on next Monday, the 22nd. The outlook is that it will be one [)f the longest terms held in this county in a number of years, as there are a larger number of prisoners in jail than at any time in years, as well as quite a number out on bond; besides, the case of the State against those charged with the killing of Sheriff Hood and others, at Winnsboro last summer, is schedule to be tried here.?York News.

BRYAN Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, the noted lecturer and former Secretary of State in President Wilson's cabj inet, delivered a short address in ' Fort Mill Monday at noon, speak-1 j ing from the rear platform of southbound train No. 113. Mr. i Bryan's talk in this city was in ; response to a telegram early in the day from Supt. J. D. Fulp, of the Fort Mill schools, in which he said: "There are 300 school children who will meet your train today at 12, noon. Please give them a word." Mr. Bryan j was enroute to Rock Hill, where |at i o'clock in the afternoon he j addressed the student body of Winthrop College, together with several hundred people from that city and surrounding country. Mr. Bryan's talk in Fort Mill was short, the railway people agreeing to hold the train but for a few minutes. However, the half thousand or more who had gathered at the station went away feeling that they had been well repaid for having gone there. Mr. Bryan's subject was "preparedness," or rather, in opposition to preparedness. He stressed the point that it would be foolish for this county to spend millions and perhaps billions of dnllnrs in nronorinir fnr ... K.vHu...l|S war when the people were desirous of anything but war. His remarks throughout were in a conversational tone, yet so clear and simple were his words that even the smallest school tot heard and understood all. At the conclusion of his talk, the speaker was loudly applauded and quite a number of school girls presented him with flowers. Born Mondav night to Mr. and Mrs. C. S.
