The alligator Is another pood citizen whose usefulness Is overlooked, for klllinp alligators hns been from time Immemorial n popular pastime. In Louisiana It was found that when the alllpntors were killed off the muskrats multiplied and destroyed the levees; also the cotton-mouth moccasin, the garfish and the carp Increased wonderfully. Whereupon protection was given to the alligators. This Incertlllnn, to give him his correct fninlly name, has probably kept the muskrat away from the South Carolina coast, for the muskrat Is unknown on the const. If allowed to multiply the nlllpator will mnke Inronds on the carp, the pnrflsh and the cotton-mouth, all undeslrnble members of our fauna. The sum totnl of the alligator's evil doing nmounts to this: Ho catches a dog now and then; once In a long while pulls n hog or bites the tall off a cow, for sundry stump-tnlled cows along the Atlantic Const Line right of way have met misfortune In this wnv.

How the Idea of a new hook was suggested In an unexpected manner to the author is told by William J. Locke In "The Hough Rond." "One evening a couple of months after I had finished 'The Red Planet,' I wns tearing my hair and saying that this time I really had come to the end of things and would never again have the ghost of an Idea for another book, when my wife, who was Sitting on the divan In the drawing room playing unconcernedly with our little Pekinese?she hnd heard this cry of wolf so many times before?addressed this little beast?I love him dearly, by the way?In the maudlin tone of which we both are gnllty: 'Why doesn't he' write a nice book about you, darling?'

Quaint nnd curious are the ways of some reptiles of the desert, us revealed by the famous naturalist C. L. Catnp, who has been studying them In the Colorado desert. He tells of some reptiles. the burrowing snake sonorn, the gridiron-tailed ' lizard, the ocellated Ami -?1 *1-- J * ' ? nun iiik ut-MTi - noniea , toad," which netunlly swim In the loose snnd by the strong lateral movements of their heads. The gridlrontalled lizard Is very swift and agile, and when chased will race over the sand at fifteen miles an hour. Most of the desert reptiles of Colorado are colored like their surroundings, and are difficult to detect. Others can change their colors to suit their surroundings, while not a few of the desert lizards are able to part with their tails very readily when they nre seized. There Is humor In the ways of desert tortoises. When one meets another, unless both are males, when a fight Invariably takes place, each nods Its head rapidly up nnd down as though In salutation, and sometimes noses are touched as they pass.

Prosecutions have already been entered in other states for infractions of the hoarding and speculating law and convictions secured. Low Prices for Tobacco.

The doubling of the amount to be asked came somewhat as a surprise to the most enthusiastic supporters of the campaign. Rainbow Division Chartered. The secretary of state incorporated the South Carolina Division of the Rainbow Division, as an eleemosynary institution, "to perpetuate that spirit of comradshlp which has been the greatest single factor in the success of the division and to commemorate the deeds of our dead comrades."

Federal legislation has changed the open season for shooting doves from September 16 to October 16 as the opening dates for sportsmen in South Carolina and thereby brought about a conflict with the State law. according to Wade Hampton Gihbes. state game warden. The South Carolina law was made to conform with the federal tWigratory bird treaty act by the 1919 general assembly of the State, but since that tim? United States agents have notified Mr. Gibbes that the open season under federal law Is from October 16 to January 31. Inclusive. Warning to Delinquents. Rut L?.

Arnold, members of the South Carolina railroad commission, have issued a peremptory order to compel the Charleston & Western Carolina Railway Company to transfer freight over the spur track of the American Ship Build ing and Dock Corporation at Beaufort. The spur track is the property of the ship building company and because of some disagreement as to certa,Tclauses in proposed contract, the railroad discontinued Its service. Sugar to Supply Need. Mayor Blalock has been advised that a solid car load of sugar has been shipped to Columbia for distribution. Columbia merchants may hand in their order to Mrs. T. W. Danieldson at the mayor's office. The su?ar will cost $8.82 per hundred pounds, plus freight charges from New Orleans. Each buyer will have to hanl the barrels to their establishments. Mayors of other towns whore sugar is scarce may participate in the distribution. The shipment is sent to relieve conditions in the state. Building Plana Halted. "The war department has decided to stop the campaign for public building throughout the United States," it was announced by Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war. This decision was taken because the decrease of unemployment in many localities has been so marked that some difficulty is reported in obtaining soldier labor for the normal industrial operations. It is therefore considered that the further stimulation of public building at this time would ba Inadvisable. *??. .? v/iiv, nnui IIV.T gtrticiUi, a ii3i uI. the corporations of the State that 'have thus far failed to comply -with the state statute as to annual license fees.
