WHY SLAUGHTER THE HAWKS?
' * *' - '
(By K. B. 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.
Who is toting now.?
? _
The British admiralty has issued
orders for naval reservists, mostly ongaged
iq the mercantile service, to
report at once at Portsmouth for duty
in the royal naval reserve.

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. C.,
las served notice that all drunken
Irivers appearing before him are to
;et a road sentence of not less than
lixty days without alternative of fine.
