Walsh appeared before Chief J ustlce Y J . 1\ pe at Cham bers in Newberry Tt ursdav and rd cured two orders In connection with this matter. In both matters the petitioner Is Adam Aull, a resldmt taxpayer of the o Hint/ of N 3wb rry In the tirst petition besets nut tnat out of the net Income derived by the state from the sale of )l<i jots In this state under the dispensary law, after apportioning the required amount to the deticlenoies existing in the various counties of thp state, there )h still revaluing in the state treasurer's hotl/^U i. n V?1 /? " f/\ r.n /-??% louun, p?Vij vy J V mruv Ull lyllf warrant of tne c mptroller general, a largo surplus subject to app )rtlonmeut by the comptroller general and he contends the common sc lool* of Nawl>erry are entitled to a portion of said surplus. Taat the said corap troller general threatens, and is about to so apportion said surplus fund, as to deprive tne cmmon schools of Newberry of any part thereof, and refuses to draw his wariant In favor of said schools for any amount whatsoever. The petition then quotes article X 1, section 12, of the constitution, and certain acts of the general assembly, and slates there is no warrant of law for refu ilng to the common schools of Newberry county a portion of said surplus, unless it be f<>nud in the socalled Price act, "which said act is, as petitioner respectfully contends, null and void, lnas ??uc'?. as it contravenes said article X I, section 12, of the cons, itution oi this state. Petitioner prays that said Price act be declared unconstitutional, and that, the omptroller general be restrained from paying ouo to and drawlnur hia ctllclal warrant for the sum of $533 50, or any part thereof, in fav^r of the common tcbools of any ounty other than Newberry county, and that he be directed to draw his olticial war rant In favor of the common schools of Newberry oounty for their proportional share of said surplus In p-oportlon to the enrollment in said public common schools. The order signed by C lief .J ustioe Pope in response to this petition directs that Comptroller General A. W. Jones, the respondent, show cause before the supreme court, at Colmmbia, on December 4th, why the prayer of the petitioner should not be granted, and that he be enjoined and restrained from paying out or drawing his official warrant for $533 66, which sum, it is alleged In the petition, would be apportioned to the public sohools of Newberry, were It not for the provisions of the act commonly called the lirice act. lu the second petition the county board of control of Newberry and Dispensary Commissioner W. O. Tatum are madft rpjmnndnnf.u rT') 1 a noOMnnor being the same an in the petilion above referred to. The petitioner sets out the dispensary law, and the Brioe act, and contends, on grounds now familiar to the public, that the Brice act Is unconstitutional. Wherefore the petitioner prays: "That the said act be declared unconstitutional, null and void, that the said conuty board of control be enjoined from keeping said dispensaries in Newberry county closed, and be compelled by the order of the court to open the same in pursuance of the valid law of the state, that the said dispensary commissioner be enjoined from refusing to furnish said liquors to the county dispensers, and be decreed by the order to furnish the same, pursuant to the valid laws of the state," etc. la response to this petition, Chief Justice Pope signed an order, which reads in part as follows: ' That the respondents, as the county board of control of Newberry county and dispensary commifslnners do show cause before the supreme court of this state, in itsourt room, in the city of Columbia on the 4oh day of December, 1905, at 10 o'clock a m. why the prayer of the petioner herein should not be granted."

Millions of Dollars Mverjr Y???r. To the Rlltor of The State: The announcement In ycur Issue of the 17j/h that an effort wlli be m d i on Monday night to stimulate an In 'erest In the State Audubon s< olety Is very grailfylng to me, as it has for a number o' years l^een my otj-wt to secure better protection fur non-game birds whose rapid depletion In tins State is a matter of t le utmost eco nomto importance to t le agricultural Int.' r ^stH. T io actual damago done to crops In i single season by Insects is lu the aggregate euurmous am junting to the value of not only thousands but millions of dollars. Practically the only method of de creasing tin number of harmiul and destruotive insects is to tirid an tnemy to them that preys tn them, and birds do this betttr and more assiduously than any other koownagent. With the increasing of in ec eatiDg birds there ?v111 b?> a dccr?asj of insects. No doubt Mr, Pearson will tell us how we may encourage the increase of tho birds, and the Audubon s<clety will see to it that the best methods .-.111 1 * I ? 4- ? ** - ? win in pui. lfllU I llwUj. Ii my mind the bdy-with-the-guu Is one of the deadliest and mo?t per j slstent enemies of all the feathered ! tribe, lie kill* for pleasure, but it Is a sad commentary that his innocent pleasure in learning to sho >t should be heightened by the admixture of the still more innoc nt blocd of any and all birds that oomo within his range Perhaps the Auduton society v% ill help to teach him that a boards for a target will afford him equal pleasure in learning to snoot and that the Jives of birds should be protected rather than destroyed. The society can also teach us what birds should be destroyed, because they prey on the eggs and younw of the desirable kinds, and thus afford those boys who must spill blood an outlet for the cravings. I do not write this in a sentimental vein, but wholly from the practical standpoint of the urgent need of effective means for chocking the ravag- , esnf insects injurious to crops. In some riont years one fourth of the oorn cr*. p of this State has been destroyed bv one insect alone?the corn stalk borer, and this is not the only insect that injures the corn crop. 1 have no particular liking fjr the so-oalltd E lgllsh sparrow and believe that the total extermination of the r< k-tn MM/A III nt/\? ? 1 Va /v /% 3^aiiu?r wuuiu uo a iiiabiiiuii gilil), UUb so much on account of th&actual harm they do, but owing to their pugnac tousalid unfriendly nature, which precludes their living In peace and harmony with other varieties of/birds, and their well known flighting ability. Taey soon beoome sole occupants of any premises they sec lit to ctioose for habitation, whether it be city groves or country fields. Perhips Prof. Pearson can prove the sparrow to be of some use, but 1 believe that our city ordinance should be amended to allow the small boy the privllage of shooting the sparrow "on sight" and even to offer a per capita price for every sparrow killed. The study of animate nature should bo begun In the primary classes In every school In the State, and be continued through the highest grades so that every pupil should beoome thor oughly fam'llar with every form of wild animal, bird or Insect of the State ?nd learn to disc lminate de tween the "good" and the"bad," to . rotect the former and destroy the latter. It might In time have a very strong lnlluence over them when, as men they become employes, employers and jurymen. I sincerely hope that the State branch of the Audubon society will become an active, able and thorughly "live Institution. J. W. Bauer. Columbia, Nov. 17, 1905. U?*arBi'H Kxp^nHOH. William R.

Tillman spent Friday in (J mrlestoD, this being his tirst visit there In two and a half years. He stopped there on his way hack home, after a visit to Mississippi and a short trip into Florida, where he "picked up a few dollars" lecturing. He took a trip to the navy yard, viewing the progress of the work in which he Is much interested. He was pleased with what he saw at the big government yard, but he thought that the work was not progressing fast enough. He wanted tue work done more rapidly to keep pace with the appropriations, and of course he wanted all the appropriations that he can get for the work. The Senator said that he had nothing further to say about the dispensary, believing that his views had been sutliclently made clear in his several speeches. He said that the dispensary was the only issue in the state and that the Institution will bo settled at ft nrlnnaru nAt In ? rt>u4u>^ uuu iu kid rway ^iujwiku ul, the state to determine the raainteneuces of the system. As to his reference of a gubernatorial candidate, he said that "all of the horses are not yet out." The senator had little or nothing to say about national politici or affairs. He will leave his home on Sat urday night for Washington, where he goes to attend a meeting of the in interstate commerce commission on Tuesday, lie Is in fivor of the regu I latlon of raihoad freight rates and he will doubtless be heard from in his usual style The trip has proven beneficial and the senator is looking better than he has been In some time. To K?tlrr Cotton. A dispatch from ISew Orleans says following the arrival of President llarvie Jordan, the Southern Cotton Association to day gerfeoted plans for taking off the market 3 000,000 bales of cotton by means of a series of pledges, which the farmers will sign themselves, stating their name and address and the amount of cotton they will thus hold. The cotton held will not be sold for less than ITfteen cents a pound according to the pledges. A representative of the Association is to be sent into every one of the 817 cotton producing counties of the cotton belt at once. When the pledges are signed, they will be sent to the central oftlce of the Association In Atlanta. Preiiient Jordan says that half of the orop has already been sold at an average of ten cents and the spinners must have all the remainder. He believes that llfteen|oents for the remain der is a fair price, and it will only average the spinners 12 1 2 cents, while they have based all their calculations on 14 cent cotton.
