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. The cow. the
dog and the hog are out of place when
the alligator can get at them; hut
nt best very little of this happens.?

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

applicant.
Speculators Made Uneasy.
Uneasy will lie the head of the dealer
or individual who is hoarding or
speculating in foodstuffs. Uncle Sam
with his whole detective force Is after
him, and yawning jails await the offender
who is wilfully contributing to
the high cost of living.
District Attorney Weston has received
a telegram from the department
of Justice instructing him to use
all agents of the government in ferreting
out those who are hoarding foodstuffs
and to proceed against them
with the whole forde of the government.
Prosecutions have already been entered
in other states for infractions of
the hoarding and speculating law and
convictions secured.

The tobacco crop of South Carolina
is not bringing as high an average
price this year as It did last year, or

Newberry and Summerland Colleges
to $300,000 nnd showing a spirit of enthusiasm
throughout the meeting, the

as a surprise to the most enthusiastic
supporters of the campaign.

Rainbow Division, as an eleemosynary
institution, "to perpetuate that spirit
of comradshlp which has been the

(Including Alabama, North Carolina,
South Carolina. Georgia, Florida. Kentucky,

against $2,001,682,939 last year.
Dove Season Changed.
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.

Fever Situation Good.
Dr. James A. Hayne, state health
officer, said statistics from every
county In the state showed a decline
this year in the number of case's of
typhoid fever as compared with previous
years. The decline is particularly
gratifying in counties in which
community health work is being promoted,
Dr. Hayne emphasized.
8tate Troops From Overseas.
A detachment from the First Corps
Artillery Park, Third Corps Troops,
In which there are 79 South Carolina
boys, has arrived from overseas and
has been directed to Camp Gordon for
demobilization.
Public Must Be Served.
Frank W. Shealy and H. H. 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.

taken In the next few days looking to
the formation in South Carolina of a
trade acceptance corporation with a

several of my husband's relatives went
with us to meet him. While waiting
j one of them suggested that they point

him alone.
When the train arrived they saw
him and told me he was wearing a
