How touch in dollar* and "cent*, aaido from his value a* food, an an inacct dotdruyor, and the pleasure of hunting blm? The surest way to compute the value of a game bird to the Btate la to figure what it costs to bag one. And a good way to arrive at a workable figure i? to begin with yourself. How much did each bird you killed last year coat you, all expenses and outlay* included? The (lame Commission of North Carolina recently hazarded a guess that two mllllou quail were killed In hi* state latjt season, and that bJrdhunters spent six million dollar* to get them. Both fig urea represent fantastic gueaaea, of courae. No bird cenaun 1h possible The (lame Commissioner's figure* are perhaps conservative enough. When 1 read hi* eatimate, I *aid to ruyaelf "Thank goodness my bird* don't eont me a* much an that. If they did i couldn't afford to kill many - not on a school teacher's salary." Then 1 took out a pencil and b< gun to figure. It waa one of the worst j | mistake* I ever made, and I ardently hope my wife will not read thia piece. ; frurlng the past season my sun and j I killed 10k partridges. Our expense n sheet reads about as follows: Board for two dogs, $90.00; one dog bought, $35.00; one gun bought, ( $30.00; gun repaired, $5.00; two dogs vaccinated against distemper and ra- , bies, $22.00; one dog died of rabies, , $35.00; two state licenses, $6.10; hunting outfit bought, $12.00; one case shells bought, $15.50; dog collar* bought, $1.00; hunting rights leased for one year, $40.00; depreciation of guns and equipment, $10.00; damage to automobile fender, $7.00; auto transportation at 5 cents a mile, $90.00; meals and lodging while hunting. $12.00; incidentals, $15.00. Total $425.60. To my amazement 1 discovered that the 10* birds we had brought home coat loc- about four doljars a piece That la, every time I bagged a partridge I paid out, to somebody in Bouth Carolina, four dollars, Each bird J killed wax therefore worth that touch j to the state. I am not saying 1 have any regrets. My birds were a bargain at that, everything considered. Hut I confess myself dumb founded. Your birds might not coat you a? much aa this. You may be a better ahot. You may not have to leaae hunting rlghta. You may not have to board doga. You may be more fortunutely situated than I in several respects. Hut the probability ia that, if you are an average city hunter, your birds did coal you several dollars apiece. If you don't believe it, figure it up and let me know. 1 dare-' >ou to. How many partridges are killed in South Carolina during an average season? Any conjecture would be as fantastic here aa In North Carolina. Would you say that two million annually 1h a conservative estimate? And that quail-hunters alone must spend several millions of dollars in the state every year. I have not included what is spent by the deer-hunters, dove-shooters, rabbit-hunters, duck-hunters, trappers and turkey-hunters. One veracious turkey hunter tells me that every turkey he has over killed cost him $100 apiece. A duck hunter estimates every duck he bagged last season cost him $10. How much do the fish you catch cost you a pound, all expenses Included? Shucks, let's quit this figuring before we all go into bankruptcy or are divorced by our outraged wives. The point I wish to make is this: Our wildlife is worth uncalculated millions to the state each year, in hard cash of the realm, yet we are doing very little to conserve or maintain it. For our fish we are doing practically nothing. Our game is one of the most profitable crops grown in the state, and one of the most neglected. HAVILAH I3AHCOCK, President S. C. Game and Fish Ass'n.

Sheorn & Son I QUALITY MEN8 WEAR Annual Session With Sand Hill 'l lu- thirty-m-vcmiIi annual session of the Kershaw Assoctatlon *?? held with Hand Hill Baptist church near the town of Kershaw October 6 and 7. This flue old church was built in the year 1898. It was beautifully decorat ed with fall flowers such as dahlias and murlgoids. A big welcome awaited the entire delegation. The meeting opened at 10 a. m. with devotional after which the delegates were enrolled. There were twenty tour diurtbvjp rsp_r&#*Jl!ft4 *1(h 108 pr more delegates. The report showed 144 batistes with twenty-four churches, I. L. Clyburn wag elected moderator and Rev. J. A. Kalle, clerk and treasurer. The report on christian education was prepared and read by Mrs. W. F. Ityrd ami discussed by her, also, Rev. P. K. Blackmon had several remarks of praise for the W M U. work. Rev. H. J. Mclver prepared the report on Missions saying: "We should wmsider well tiie work of State Mis slons for it has always been vital to our denominational life and progjjtuu. The task of State Missions is ever an unfinished work as every new generation needs to be won and led to Christ. We need to keep the evangelistic light burning in our churches for Christ. We have about 7.',0,000 people in South Carolina over nine years of age who are not saved and twenty-three million white people in the south who are not in our Sunday schools and South Carolina has her share of these for whom we are responsible. The purpose of missions is to send the gospel with its saving grace unto all lands for all time, but we must keep the home land evangelized. Statistics were given of various causes for missions and there is much that could he said ab?ut missions. Let us remember the command of our l>ord: "Go ye, therefore, aud teach all nations, baptizing them in I lie name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost." Rev. J. I). Gulledge gave a very interesting report on Religious Literature. He says: "Baptist people have no reason for not being informed about our denominational work as we have plenty of valuable information published every year and plenty of books written by great Baptist authors and others, also valuable tracts and periodicals including our own Baptist Courier. All of our literature is important and exists for the ongoing of the Kingdom. I place the work of our denomination before the people if they would only subscribe and read It." He stressed the importance of the Courier in every home and spoke concerning tin? wonderful hook store which is serving our state in a big way. "May we all patronize the Baptist Book Store In Columbia. There is much that could be said on religious literature, it is very important that we give our young people the very best there is to read." The report on Christian Education was prepared by Mrs. W. F. Byrd. She stated that the report from the Baptist colleges In South Carolina for 1936-1937 were stimulating and heartening. Every institution reports an increase in enrollment. Religious organizations have been active and spiritual life has been deepened. The great purpose of the religious organizations is to deepen spiritual life and help students to develop into leaders in the religious activities of the communities in which they will live. The ( hristinn schools find a place for itself in the life of today in its eflorts to bring the ever living personality of Jesus into its life and that of the world. Schools should recognize their place of divine appointment in the work of Christ's Kingdom. There was much discussion on Christian Education but we must hurry on to the next topic although much could he said but time was limited. Cur dear Mrs. Byrd" reported for the \V. M. I". of the Association. Ev? ry one always rejoices to know that she is on the program and listens with interest to tier sweet ::iesShe vntrt Thar the \V. M U. had passed its twenty.third year of servile with well planned programs prepared and carried out. every one enjow-d these various meeting? during the year. Good reports were revived during lh" year. An ex< . ilent young peoples rally was held with Wateree church with a number of young people raking part in the stewardsbip contest. She stated that the total eifts to the cooperative program was $.">23.61. an increase over the previous year. One encouraging feature of the work during the \enr has been the faithfulness of those .vho mounted on eagle wines, those who have walked and not fainted. Mrs. i:> rd says that the great aim of W. M I work is to get all women, girl* and children enlisted In this md)le cause for the Master. Eighteen ( lasses were reported with more than 100 awards given through the study of missions This tills mjr hearts with jov over the interest that in mis- ion study also more sot ieties are observing the special season of prayer and large love gifts are being made May we pledge ourselves to the ideals and purposes of womans work. S<> lets bp happy: It help? other souls along Their burdens may be heavy and they not strong If vonr own load you would lighten Aud others you would brighten. Then just be happy with a heart full of song. Rev. .? T nab.ncy made a great report on training activities. He >ays that every one must recognize the fact that we are living in :vn ago of special training. In every walk of life people are preparing themselves for a definite task, hut are wo. preparing for our life's work of training the hearts for Christ. Too many are careless and indifferent. May we seek to correct this Indifference. We have made some progress 1n recent years but have we done our best to pleaae Him who died for us. Some say that churches are over organized but we need more of the power of .? . the spirit of do3 to make these organizations go. They will not function properly without that Impelling power behind it. We need u wide awake inan to direct the training activities in our association. Brother 8am Smith was given time on the' program. He brought greetings from the largest Baptist family In South Carolina, Connie Maxwell Orphanage. He stated that they had eared for more than 400 children. This association planned to send produce to the orphanage this fall. There were several visiting pastors present who were recognized and given a fpw minutes to speak. Itev. Corpening spoke, also Itev. B. H. I*aughridge, Moderator of Moriah Associalitfh. Hey. George Smith spoke for the Baptist Courier. . We are always glad to welcome any visiting brothers or sisters. The outstanding address of the day was when Rev. J. B. Canton Introduced Dr. C. Sylvestor Greene, president of Coker college. This line from his message: "A charge to keep 1 have, a God to glori! fy, who gave His son my soul to save and fit It lor the skies " Every one was held spell bound during this wonderful address. Rev. J. M. Neat spoke on benevolence and Rev. Littlejohn on the cooperative program. Brother Brooks was a very welcomed visitor over in this association. He is always ready and can speak on any subject that is to be discussed and each one enjoys his talks so much. Social service was discussed by Rev. B. S. Broom in a very wonderful man| ner. Obituaries report by W. T. Holley. Prayer by Rev. Littlejohn. The ladles of the old Sand Hill church certainly know who to entertain for they prepare and served a bountiful dinner. Every one went away saying that: "I was glad when I they said lets go to Sand Hill." AS HE WAS, A8 HE IS The parade of people as it passes old cemeteries frequently sees engaging farewells inscribed on tombstones. Death must have been without much of its sting for the individual who left the following iu< sage behind him: "Stop, my friend, an you pass by, Ah you are now bo once w&h 1; Ah I am now some day you'll be? Prepare, my friend, to follow me." A stranger, passing by. read the message and then made the grave a little lens victorious as he penned this reply: "As I am now, so once were you; As you are now, 1 will be, too, But to follow you I'm not content Until 1 know which way you went."
