The Scimitar, a semi-monthly political paper edited by a Blease par- fo tisan, W. P. Beard, and punished at sc Abbeville, displays conspicuously a Pi ballot headed "For Governor: Cole de L. Blease," and calls upon "the Re- dj form Democrats" to vote that ticket, be H The Scimitar says that Mr. Blease ty B himself, bound by the pledge he took Pi ^ in becoming a candidate, is obliged ai ^ to abide by the decision of the ex- to . ; ectftive committee, which nominated ca ^ { R. I. Manning, and therefore he will d< not likely make a statement.

The story of the young wo- et man at Johnsonburg is one that, were it shown in the pictures, would be re- ca garded by many persons as the high- of est improbability. What more ex- fo citing setting could- there be than a ^ i railroad tower on fire, the flames *h started by an admirer of the young] d woman seeking revenge, while in the tower was the heroine? And then th came the rescuer and saved her in m - - the nich or time. The railroads always have furnish- of ed inspiration for thrilling stories se both of the written and the picture ^ 1 kind. There is naturally a good deal dt of heroism connected with the work; co of the men who move the cars. Dan- &r ger is the order of the day where dc much of the occupation is concerned. w With the element of danger comes Sc the need of daring to meet it and tb make it less. So the stories that deal, re "with the railroad life have always! st had more or less attraction. ig The stories of every-day happen- & ings published in the daily newspa- O] per furnish continuous evidence that Pi truth is stranger than fiction.

Useful Birds Decreasing, Our useful birds, without which it ould be impossible'to grow crops Lccessfully, are rapidly decreasing in t imbers. Man in his various activies is the maia cause of this de-; ease. These facts and many others just ] i startling are strikingly brought it in a bulletin entitled, "Decrease \ ! Birds in South Carolina," issued t eently by the State university. This >ry valuable report, which should be idely read and discussed, is a result an inquiry into the subject made r the State Audubon society. The ridence which forms i^s basis was rnished by competent, unprejudiced B >servers in every part of the State. pg It is the opinion of many of those l| >servers that the alarming decrease 11 our valuable wild bird Hfe is due | t a large measure to the careless- I iss, ignorance and greed of man. I is stated that he has turned loose I t birds such destructive natural ene- ? ies as the English sparrow, dogs, [ id cats; and that he has brought I ^ > his aid in his direct destruction, JT lproved firearms, smokeless powder, w n In addition to a statement of the j| ,uses of decrease and a discussion JJ each, many suggestions are given W r the better protection of birds. H ost of the observers reporting from 11 ose counties which have the resi- M >nt hunting license law, are enthu- O astic in Its support. Many express emselves as anxious to see the law ade State-wide with no exemptions. Many of <he suggestions given are vital importance and deserve most rious consideration on the part of e public. Dogs roaming at large iring the birds' breeding season are * M insiHp.rpd a ereat niircA nil I H ound-nesting birds. Many consider )ve-baiting unsportsmanlike and ish to see it prohibited by law. >uth Carolina is advised to follow e good example by Georgia in this , ispect. The deplorable fact is i V ressed that the public is woefully norant of the value of birds, the ime laws and their enforcement. ne observer suggests: "Educate the iblic as to the value of birds. They ill then demand right laws and ( leir enforcement." In the opinion of any the State should see to it that ?r citizens should no longer remain norant of the value of one of her ost valuable assets. Bird study lould be made compulsory in the hools. Every person interested in the ma- S It rial welfare of the State should ad this report.
