f&< sear the edge of the wide urea
of marsh and ?B?u!?w; w=?Uvr that iitS
betweou James Iwiuhd on the west
FSw Morris Island on the east, and
within six miles o f Charleston an th
crow NleB, there existed up to a
#ew weeks ago one of the natural
wonders of America. This was It
little island or "hammock" about
threw acres in extent on which her
ons of five species and to the Hum
ber or from 1,000 to 3,000 made
tbeir homes and reared their young
each year. Among the hundreds of
birdB that Inhabited the place ther*
were to be found a hundred ; and
fifty or two hundred Snowy Egrets,
the rarest and most beautiful of
all American water birds. It waB
worth a Journey of a hundred miles
to visit this teemlfcg metropolis of
the feathered world. Up from the
dense bushes clothing the island
the big birds rose In regiments and
battalions as you drew near. Cloud
after cloud of birds until the air
was full, they came up out of the
green thicket? ftBd, rising twenty or
thirty feet above the bushes, wheet-J
ed here and there in indescribable
confusion. The thickets were full tfl
nests? hundreds and hundreds of
- them, s 9 close together th^t often
you could count terf or twelvo withU4
a riuliuH of six feet; and the nests
-were full of eggs or of gawflcy little
herons. The place was probably on
-rjff the largest heron cities |h the
^world, and It was one of the very
few breeding places of the Snowy
Egret in North America.
g Air this" was true up to a few
weeks ago. Then came destruction.
The owner of the little marsh ham
mock which was teh home of the
herons is an Atlanta mag, The han
mock wasn't doing him any, good as
>:it was. He decided to mSke some
v money out of It. Therefore he or
dered. that the bushes on it be
Cleared away and the island' be
planted in oats. Whether, or not
as an agricultural experiment the
7 move was financially profitable is nty
certainly known. It coould not hav
netted very much money, for the in
land was only three acres in extent,
and three acres of oats does, not sell,
?for a very large sum. That, how
ever, is neither here nor there. The
point is ' that the heron metropolis
; was ruined and a genuine wdnder of
nature was wiped out of existence.
This year two or three hundred her
ons, including some Snowies, have
"nests in a little patch of bushes that,
was allowed to remain and in the
debris piled around the edges of the
island. Of the vast hose of beauti
ful birds that year after year had
made the place their home only this
pitiful remnant survives.
A thing like this fills the mind
with hot Indignation and vain re
gret. ^With all the thousands of un
used * acres on the coast, ' It
? does seem hard that these
three -acres could not have
been left tto- the herons. That
, wonderful city of birds ?tfas worth
preserving; and protecting. In dol
lars and.-centB it woi^ld h*Ve paid us
to safeguard it. One oft <frhe things
: coneribute to make Florida a nation
^al pleasure ground Is the presence
[of the beautiful and graceful herons
fthat- the tourist seeB as he travels u
her rivers. In the old days these
I were a hundred times more abund
ant than thye are now, and in South;
( Carolina as Well as in Florida the
[traveller saw islands and mudflats
[white wit^* herons. The hammock
[off James Island was probably the
[largest breeding place of herons in
[this State. On it each year some
f thousands of exquisite birds were
[reared to populate our rivers and
'add to the Bcenery that touch of
[beauty and "of interest which comes
[from the presence of beautiful liv
ing things.
Furthermore, (here are hundreds
of people In tho North and East,
[Where the new interest of nature
has grown more rapidly than in the
south, who, 'if they had known of
[the existence of such a heron col
rOny as this one was, would her/e
come here expressly tcf see It. To
[naturalists the presence of the
snowy Egrets made the hammock a
Place of surpassing interest. The
known breeding places of this rare
and beautiful species can almost be
counted on the fingers of one hand;
and this island was the norther
most known breeding place in East
ern North America, as well as one
21 ? largest breeding places- know
f^where ?n the .continent, From
!1? whole coast might have been
J^^pulated with these exquisite
oirds which, a quarter of a century
?go, were massacred very nearly to

Among the beautiful hardy shrubs
that require little attention I wish]
to enumerate a few that grow tol

Plants are easily obtainable and not]
expensive. The althea or rose of I
Sharon flowers freely with us dur-j
lng late summer when few other I
shrubs are in blossom. It basl
beautiful white, ? pink/ sind purple]
double flowers. The axaleas are]
very gorgeoua and range In color
from Intense crimson to lemon yel-|

In early spring before their leaves |
appear. Deutzias have masses of
snow white flowers and .. gre , early
bloomers. Splreas flower 'profuse-]
I ly during early spring. They pro-]
I duce a profusion , of white flowers. |
Porsythla or golden bajl has grace
ful drooping yellow flowers. The]
I magnolia grandtflora, the evergreen
i type, Is one .of the best of the ma
ny magnolias. It grows beautifully.
I with us and Is a grand sight.
Of the many beautiful climbing
vines that should grace our porches
and arbors there is nothing better
than the wistarias which can b ]
had in purple, lavender and white,
i l^he Immense drooping racemes of]
i bl^om are truly a grand sight, The
climbing roses, the clematis, En

1 At the meeting of City Councit
on Tuesday night the bid of Messrs.
Av B. Mathls and L. A. McDowell
was accepted for the Camden Opera
House for the coming season. A
motion picture show will be opened
on July 1st and continued until the]
regular theatrical season -opens. ]
They intend booking only the]
highest class shows, and theatre-go-]
ers can expect only the very beat.]
After the season opens and during]
the nights when they have no the-]
atrlca'l engagements, the moving pic ]
ture and vaudeville features will be]
continued. ]
in spite of the plume-hunters the
SnowieB were holding their own or
increasing. T Itr remained for the
owner of the hammock to destroy
a . natural "marvel for the sake of
three acres of oats.
Of course, the place was his and
he had a right to do what he wish
ed with it. To aome this may have
I seemed a. deed ; of vandalism; but
potvatr the blame can be fastened
upon bim. The State should have,
bought the Island. The National^
Audubon Society should have bough
it. Ijt had been siftiated in the;
North, or in New England it would
have been bought and set. aside as
a preserve withfn a month after it
was discovered. It would* have
been mentioned in every book on
nature an& outdoors as one of the
bird wonders of the world; ,and all
this publicity would have worked no
harm because the iaw would have
protected the birds from vandals
and the agents of the milliners. But
South Carolina has no time for
such things. Certain of our prize
politicians, whose vision is about as
wide as that of the average mole,
have so hampered the effort to
build up a State Audubon Society
that Ceaseless and unselfish, labors
of that tireless worker, James I^en
ry Rice, have been almost complete
ly thwarted*^ The National Audu
bon Society^. /we understand, did
make an effort to buy it, tiut its
agents were told that the island
would cost $300 ? $}00 an acre, be
it noted, for a marsh ? hammock
completely 4mt off frbm the main
land and worth to a farmer not
more' than $20 an acre at the ut
most. Nevertheless the Society
should have bought the place. The
price was , absurd in comparison
with the value of the Jrfnd, but it
waf not absurd in comparison with
the value of the hefonry to the
pumjjj and to science; and the So
ciety is buying every year bird col

ten up In red, White and blue, aud
are bound to attract attention when

The chamber sues a -bright future
ahead for Camden and wants the
fact advertised to the world. With
the wonderful development of the
sandhill land near town, heretofore
uifplanted and which sold for a -few
tars an acre, and by scientific
itlng raises a bale of cotton to

Error of Widespread Interest.
iAn annoying error crapt luio the
a< vertlsenient of Mr. O. C. Bruce,
p oprletor of the Pure F.ood Store,
la it week, which caused him to
aj swer many questions, and ulso
P? oved to him that hie ads are
w dely read. Hie ad says: "You
fifed sixteen ounc.es to the pound
of four quarts to the peck, In your
purchases.'* Mr, feruce says the
first statement Is correct, but- he 1h
thinking of suing us for slander
for the latter. The error was one
ol those which will occasonallly
slip over on thfc Tiest proof rbader,
but It will be Interesting td'know
that this same error appeared In
one well established grocery ad
t tit nearly every town of any size
lrt the United States. The ad and
illustrations are .furnished these gro
eers by the Zimmerman snydlcate al
over the country, printed copy be

in mighty nearly all cases the -same
efrror occurred.
M Mistakes attract attention, how
ever, as the following from the Bos*s
ton Transcript will show:
? "While going by a meat store one
day Fogg noticed a sign in the win
dow: "Rib roast ? no waist." Of
course he had to go in and correct
the meat man\ In Ma* spelling.
"Thanks," said the proprietor,
"you're tho fourteenth person who

"When Fogg came out he had a
