Chamberlain) It U a regrettable fact that few sportsmen pOf+ up an opportunity to kill hawka and' owla. Beams of paper have been used j>y conservationists of all kinds, ranging from the hysterical fanatic to the tbiukiug sportsman, in the "average hunter'-' -that in killing the birds of prey he is actually harmin# his own interest*. Most of us have beeu brought up in the belief that hawks and owls are detrimental' to game and the probability is that we will not change our opinions regardless of contrury evidence. But our children are leurning better. The boy or girl sufficiently interested in outdoor life to keep up with even a part of the large amount of work uow being done with the hawks and owls learns (hut it is an actual fad that the largo majority of these birds are distinctly beneficial. In the main hawks and oyvisjteed on ruts and mice, snakes and insects, and non-game birds.' One of the most abundant rats over this entire state N . *1 / j is the cotton or hold rat, un animal I which d?HtroyH IuVko numbeiB 6f eggH of the grouud-nei&ing birds like BobWhite. This rat is the natural food of soverul hawks and owls. Kill off your hawks and you may confidently expect an increase in the rat population. During the last few years the owner of a coastal plantation has amply demonstrated this. He paid a bounty on huwku killed; the rats Increased enormously. Next he turned to poisoning (always a dangerous expedient j and trapping the rats. As a result the hawks which came the fol:y lowing seuson, being deprived of rats, turned to killing quail and the plantation owner was far worse OfT than when he started. Had he sufficient knowledge of the food habits of hawks he would hot have allowed them to be killed indiscriminately. Man is smart, but not smart enough to upset the halunce of nature and got away with it. It is a fact that our slow-flying hawks do far more good than harm. Such species as the Hod-tailed, the lied-shouldcred, the Marsh, and the little Hparrow Hawk should be left alone. This despite the (act that these birds are often called chicken or hen huwkw. The fast flying Cooper's (lilg (Hue Darter) and Bharp-shiuued (Little lilue Darter) are the hawks mainly responsible for the destruction of bird life. Home people (eel that even Jlhesc hawks aro ws fully entitled to rood as we are to' iport; However; 1 there la no denying the fact that the dairters do considerable damage to game birds. The unfortunate part of the Hltuatlon is the undoubted fact that the slow flyers, the so-called henhawks, are the ones that suffer for the misdeeds of the darters. These latter are usually difficult to hit or even to get a shot ut. When tlie statement Is mude that most hawks are beneficial it is not meant that such hawks never feed on birds. Home occasionally do. Home men kill other men, without even the excuse of feeding on them. Vet, all mm* are not killers. Nor are all hawks. It should he sufficient to get rid of proved killers. Chapter Notes Membership reports of the November roll call show that two chapters lead Wfly- Clinton and Union took the task of enrolling gnemberg seriously and consequently are out front. Clinton, being the homo chapter of President McMillian, was on the spot to come across, and they did, to the tune of 100 new members. Now over in Union things had slipped into a lukewarm state. This la a bum state for sportsmen so the group decided to get hot. They burned things up with an even hundred new members, enrolled from scratch. (They hold another fine meeting this Thursday, the 12th, to celebrate). It is faintly remembered how sonic of the strong Pee Dee chapters have remarked how we must get the Piedmont in line to help carry the lead.

Donation To-Library Mr, William D, Carinlchael, formally of Dillon, vice president of Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co., of New York, Iiuh presented to Camden Library the three volume work," Kin[olk.s," by Qpl, William C. Uarllee. The donation is in memory of the donar's grandmother, Ann (Tulmore) Uarllee for whom tif^ Dillon Chapter of the I lilted Daughters of the Confederacy in namedThin work treats of numerous families whose ancestors were pioneers in the Southern States with many descendants residing in this state. Concerning "Kinfolks," the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune states: "The book teems with drama but not because the author has striven for literary adornment. He records with line description the lives and doings of those who have made history in the South from the founding of Jamestown on; but he does so with the terseness of a military report, a report frohf a comraandpr who doesn't forget the human side ... No other work, it must be agreed, equals "Kinfolks," as a contribution to the recorded genealogy of the South . . . Few of the old Southern families are untouched in this unique and monumental roeonling of Southern folk.? Charles G. Mullen." Kinfolks From Tennessee Historical Magazine. by Mrs. O eta via Zolliooffer Bond; Kinfolks is the arresting title of a remarkable genealogy in three volumes, by Colonel William Curry Harlleo of tlio United States Marine Corps, low ready to- come off the press. To Judge from its original and exhaustive treatment of the biographies and data of the long line of kinderd with which it deals, it may well be called an epochal work in setting the standard for future family histories that must be followed to produce results of equal vulue. It sets forth the activities of the Harllees, Fulmores, Currys, Kemps, Betheas, Robertsons, Dickeys and other families antecedent to and descended from those families, tracing the lineages of over 25,000 names from the present generation to the immigrant ancestors, substaiiitated in every instance by data obtained from original sources. No such book has preceded Kinfolks. It is as amazing in its recital of minutest details as in its large grasp of the subject. Its adherence to unimpeachable authority is as astonishing as the vast amount of historical Information woven into the private story of the family. So thorough was the research work of the author, so unsparing was his expenditure of money, time and labor in his effort to leurn all that could.be known of the lives of his predecessors, and so successful was the endeavor, thut it is safe to say that what is not found bt^ween the covers of Kinfolks has beeif.'tost in the tmcU.wash.Qt IngftgMty ual family negligence to preserve the record neyor to be recovered. In the treatment of his brief biographies, the substratum of Southern rb?racjter is revealed in all its simplicity, strength, gentleness, fortitude ind courage. Reading the unvarnlshid tale, one relives a "day that is lone,*' and breathes again the aroniatc atmosphere that horizoned the dear )Id South from Virginia to Texas, rhe picture is complete. It has been a work of devotion and lorsonal sacrifice of time and fortune >11 the part of Colonel Harllee. Judge Wilson Warlick, presiding >ver superior court in Charlotte, N.
