A? the old Romans, or maybe it was the Greeks, used to say, "We who are about to salute you" will in a few days become the swan song of the wild game of the state. Thursday of this week the season on migratory fowl opens, - and about ten days later the dove season again gets into full swing, followed a week later with the opening of the quail and turkey season. Thousands of us have been looking forward to this time of year with keen anticipation, as to most of us, it Is the most glorious period of the twelve months. It was just thirty years ago that the writer killed his first duck, and in those days they were so plentiful that a thought of their ever being reduced to a point where serious consideration would be given to a closed season was absurd. In those days we did not profit by the lesson of the previous thirty years, which saw the passing of the last carrier pigeon. Over the state as a whole the supply of quail has been reduced to approximately the same proportion. Quantity of game, '* like any other article, is somewhat a relative matter. During the past thirty years a large army of hunters, who were not- born when the writer bagged hia first dock and quail, have taken the field. To them our preaent supply of game is not m. much reduced aa it ia to those o1 us who are old enough to compare present conditions to thofee of years gone by. It ia to these younger hunters that this message is especially written. The sport of hunting is naturally based on the skill required to find and kill game, but the actual killing of this game is only a small part of the pleasure derived therefrom. Personally, the writer is as much chagrined as the next one upon his return from an unsuccessful hunt. On the other hand, there is a happy medium between excessive kills and no luck at all. If all of us are to continue the sport of hunting in the years to come, we must make up our minds to be content with moderation. Here in South Carolina we have unusually large daily bag limits, and exceptionally long open seasons. Strict observance of the bag limit will insure a continuance of game and afford us all a reasonable amount of sport and pleasure. Happy hunting to the sportsmen of J South Carolina! Gypped Ity Spiritual Medium W. B. Martin, farmer living on Rt. B, Lumberton, Robeson county, is the * loser of $100 and a woman giving her name as Madame Burke, alleged spiritual medium and adviser, is being sought by Robeson county officers on - a robbery charge as a result of Martin's visit to the woman in an effort to get a "cure" for an ailment of long standing. Martin visited the woman Monday night of last week and told her his troubles. She consulted the spirits, it is said, and advised that what he needed was a money pack. Asking him to get together all the money he could, she promised to make a pack of it to place on his body. This was expected to bring a cure. With $400 in paper bills, Martin visited her. She "packed" the money in n a cloth and strung the cloth about his chest. He was to return Thursday night for her to shift the money. At the Thursday night visit she consulted the pack and shifted it to his back. He was to return again. The last visit of Martin to the medium revealed that she had departed < for parts unknown. Fearing something wrong, he opened the pack, finding, to his dismay* that folded pieces ' of paper occupied the pack instead of his money. I Efforts to locate the woman have been unavailing. It was learned that she was traveling in an automobile and had been making her headquarters in the edge of Lumberton on Fayetteville road fqr the past few weeks.?Union Republican. Hit By The War's Last Shot On November 11, 1918, Armistice day, William Whiting, Welshman in the British army in* France, heard a wounded comrade crying piteously out in "No Man's Land." Whiting asked for permission to go out and bring in the wounded man. T-he officer looked at his watch and said they had onfy a minute to wait until the order to cease firing would be effective. But Whiting could stand the cries of the wounded man no longer so crawled over the parapet to bring him in. He was hit by a fragment of a bursting shell, the last fired in that sector. He never fully recovered and died of his wounds the other day at Ogmore Vale, Wales. War is full of such tragedies. The British government will conduct an inquiry into the matter of the private manufacture and sale of war munitions in England. J REAL ESTATE 1 i FOR SALE?LOTS I !

Lewis Baker, jail warden and Ernest Blunk, jail fingerprint expert, have been arrested at Crown Point, Ind., supposedly in connection with the escape of John Dillinger from the Crown Point jail last March 3. There is more or less mystery about the detention of the two men.

One family of seven persons had five of them killed. King Projadhipok of Siam, who early last week threatened to vacate his throne, has partially agreed to reconsider, provided the home government knuckles to him and withdraws their demand that his royal preroga-? lives be curtailed, the special point being that he still wants to retain his right of life and death over his subjects. It is possible that the contending forces that caused the announced intention of the A. & P. stores to got out of Cleveland, Ohio, may get to-<. gether on a fair basis and the 300 or more stores of the big chain may continue in Cleveland.

Bawl, extension horticulturist, || advocating the standard sweet potato! curing house as the safeet means generally of curing potatoes. . Where tobacco barns are available! these barns can with little additional I cash expense be put in condition fori satisfactory curing and atoriiig sweet j potatoes. An aid to farmers in this direction is Extension Circular 124,1 "Sweet Potato Storage in Tobacco Barns/' which may be obtained fre^l from the Publications.Department at Clemson College. Important suggestions for aavinf J the crop may be briefly put thus: Do not wait until after a hilling I fjrest to dig potatoes, The' poison produced by the frost-bitten, vine L seeps back into the roots and causes! the potatoes to break down. Be careful in digging not to cut or I bruise the potatoes. A "middle buster" is probably the best plow fori digging potatoes. ,| Leave the potatoes in the row anl hour before gathering to .allow the! skin to set, and they will not scar or bruise badly. To keep down bruising, don't throw I over three rows together. Grade in the field into slatted cratequ or baskete, cure hi this type of eon-4 tainer and handle as little as possible. J Have the curing house thoroughly! clean and disinfected before bringing! in potatoes, and start the Are a day! or two before and have the tempera*! ture regulated to stay between 80 and I 90 degrees. If a temperature of 80 to 00 de-1 grees is held, it will take two to I three weeks to complete curing. 1 After curing, the best temperature for storing is around 55 degrees, with the storage house kept thoroughly dry. Odd Accidents.. A Maryland farmer, Ira Mezich, set a trap fo catbh the animal which had been stedltrtg his chickens. One morning the trap was drawn back*into the coop so he reached in to get his catch. .It was a copperhead snake which bit him on the hand and sent him to the hospital. An auto thief in Indiana found a "hot" car too "hot" to handle. Justj as he started to drive Mrs. Grace Kendall's car away it caught or> fire ^o he abandoned it. It wasn't ser* iously damaged. Jim Brown and Neil Faulkner wejre forced to a forced landing in Kansas J when a shot from a small boy's .22 calibre rifle cut their oil line while flying at about 200-foot altitude. When a fish bites, Mrs. Elijah Gorney prefers to have them snap at a hook attached to a line. While swimming in Maine a pickerel 3it her toe so severely she had to have medical treatment. ?? Dreams are expensive to George Alston who sat down on a New York park bench and dozed off. He dreamed it was summertime again and that the sun. kept getting hotter and hotter. He awoke to find the heat real enough as a lighted cigarette had dropped from his lips and set fire to his brand new topcoat. . William iSnyder was riding (not marching) through Georgia perched on the trailer of a big truck when one of the tires blew out. The report frightened h\m so badly he leaped to the highway directly in front of an approaching car and was instantly killed. Little Jimmy Bryan and his schoolmates were playing ball near a city reservoir in Virginia. He ran to catch a high fly, plunged over the wall into the water and drowned before aid could be summoned.?Pathfinder.

TH8|U(iLY UNDER TUB GUN I An intelligent gentleman recently remarked that mo?t of these desperadoes gnd kidnapers are cowards in1 a pinch. This U probably putting- it too strong, but the last act of "Pretty Boy" Floyd brought it to mind. He" had robbed banks, shot down helpless people like doge and terrorised cbmmunities. He always had the advan-' tags, until the final scene. Had he died in his tracks, his gun spitting Are and face to fate with the sleuths of the Jaw, it would have added to his reputation for courage and daredeviltry. As it was he ran l:ke a turkey, and did not even attempt to use his weapon. A typical bully whose bravery melted when he realised that he was at the wrong end of the gun. The taint of banditry is often hard to trace.* John Dillfnger's parents seem to be average, quiet, Country people. Nothing is. said against Floyd's immediate ancestors. And their outlawry Is "not a new industry. Kidnaping js the modern and dastardly form of crime. Am to murder, bank robbery and train hold-ups, it is no worse than the banditry of the Younger boys, the Dalton brothers and the James outlaws of less than a* century ago* With them also, the anoeatral microbe in' the blood does not dearly account for the bloody and wayward lives of the eons. The father of Jesse and Frank James was * Baptist minister, and stright to the end of his young life. Their ' mother, thoqgk of "stoic mold,'' and divorced from her second husband was happy to the end with her third. There is no .record of her having been a bad woman. She went to church and saw that the children followed. The grandfather of the Younger desperadoes was a leading citizen. The father, for a time, was a saloon keeper, but made a good record as a soldier in the Mexican, war under Zachary Taylor. l?ater he accumulated property and seems to have been a fairly good citizen. The Dalton gang, though of a family of fifteen children, were not "slum-bred nor shanty-covered." The father appears to have been quiet and peaceable and the mother whipped the boys for gambling. It is a peculiar coincidence that the three families were closely- related, and, as* remembered, from Kentucky, originally, where feuds have dlways abounded, before moving to Missouri. When bandits come from city slums their Wild careers are not surprising. It is a surprise, and furnishes a problem in psychology, when the^ emerge from apparently respectable and decent surroundings.?Calhoun Times.
