ThcM* Is Not Olio of Them That Is Not Worth Ton Times Ills Weight in (iohl. Mr. James Hoiiry ltiro, Jr.. soorelary of tin* Audubon Society, says information has been received of the w holesale killing of larks and woodpeckers in some paits of the State, especially of the yellow-hammer, or golden winged woodpecker. This is said to go on (lie whole yetu round without ahutement, save w:ien I he larks migrate to t h? ir nesting grounds in tile north ana nortii?vest. He says the outbreak of wirew o i iiis iii Oolletou county, which is still going on without any sign o? stopping and causing widespread desi ruction to the crops of that county* which government scientists are pow erless to control, was brought on b> (he killing of lurks. 1 lie wireworm is the offspring of the .dick heel I" or snapping hug and the worms or lurve are hutched out utu.er ground; they do their work on the roots of plants, causing total destruction to cotton, corn and other crops. Since they are under ground no bird but a boring bird can get at them, and no bird takes anything iike so many of them as the lark He eats so freely of these worms '.hat hoys say the lark Is "wormy' in lite spring of the year. 7 0 per rent of the total food of the lark consists of insects. The salvation of our forests depen Is on the work of the woodpeckers. Without them boring into the hark and extracting insects that u<- devouring the soft inner bark of the tree, or cambium, as it is call -d, all trees would perish in a short time. Of the woodpecker tribe, the yellow-hanim?*r, or golden-wing d woodpecker, <?r dicker, as he is variously called, is easily chief, for lie is the greatest ant-eater in North America. When he Is feeding his young tin* yellow-hammer will con sumo fully ;i (juurt of ants daily Ho hah boon known to consume f?,lum niHH in a IVw hours. Ants aro anions the most destructive of ail insects, since liicy carry plant lice to the roots of different elicits, thereby killing the plun{ Much of the cotton w ill is dne to the work of ants and plant lire Ants are particularly destructive to gar leus, both vegetable iind lloWer gardens. The chief check on their i spread is the yellow-hummer, and the killing of one yellow-hummer turns loose untold thousands, and possibly, millions jotf ants on the community. I loth birds (woodpeckers and larks) are practically harm ! less to crops, as can he easily shown. The law of South Carolina (acx of 1 lM>f? > forbids the killing of either, as did the old South Carolina criminal code. According to this act the following birds are game birds aiu> may be killed at the time allowed by law, all the rest being protected except three hawks, one owl, and the Knglish sparrow. Here are tin game birds: Swans, wild geese, ducks, brant, curlew, snipe, woodcock, partridge, rails! or coots as they are known locally) including the clapper rail or marsh hen, gallinules, doves, wild turkey, ru:cd grouse, mongolian pheasant, sand-pipers and surf birds, rice birds, blackbirds. All other birds shall be considered non-game birds and must not le killed at ftu> time; nor shall a person buy, sell or have in his or her possession any part of tire plumage, skin or hod) of a non-game bird; nor -ball their nests or eggs be disturbed.

MAUK IN THIS NKWSPAPKHH BY OVKH 7X\1X)1'H FK1KMM \>f ConAti>muuu) I/'vcr Hint He Is Untitled to the ( rcdit for Sol) Sui*vey of This State. Congressman L>. YVyatt Aiken takes Congressman Lever's press agent to task for giving the cretil: '.'or the soil survey in South Carolina almost entirely to Mr. Lever. lrwl i h/it'nn o l\ 1 e oi?<?o?.i ? v I 1?? ( ?</! wuhiu; oiiu u n 11i nr- let list'oess of the claim. Hero is Congressman Aiken's letter, which explains itself. lo the Kditor of The State: In an article which appeared in I ho News and Courier of the 1:1 si lost. wo note the following: "11 H. llennett, genera) Held ugent ot the United States bureau of soils, was in Columbia today, and will very probably attend the conference >f soil experts ii Lexington count) Ittrin ? the week with Co r.;i essinoi. Lexer. to w hom the credi1 of the soil surxey of Sonth Cu. iiia t rhouk! he given." Then again, iti the s.tuu at ticle, the following i.ppetrs: "Congressman Lever, who Is a mem-j her of the agricultural committee of the house of representatives, has done more towards securing a soil survey of the State than any eJo i man, and it is largely through hitfforts that the federal government has taken so much interest." Then, a few days later, we notin The State: "Mr. Bennett has just had a conference with Hiiector liar per of the State experiment statiou*" and leaves today for Lexington foi a conference with Congressman Lever, who had the soil survey work started in this State and who has done much toward Its establishment upon a practical basis, not only in South (lurriliiiii hni t li i*n 111? h 111 !>. United States." Tlieso statements go too far in claiming for Mr. l.ever, and in reality, are calculated to do him injury. It is certain that Mr. Lever would not claim as much for himself. Unfortunately for the force of the statements made by the correspondent to The News and Courier, he published in the same article a tabutab d statement, showing the work that has been done entirely in the matter of soil survey in this State, and the dates of the surveys. This shows that the surveys, known a.-% the Abbeville, Anderson and Oconee surveys, embraced almost entirely tin Third district which I have the honor to represent, covered an area of J,loS square miles. The survey of Orangeburg, Lee and Sumter, all the work done In Mr. Lever's district, covered 1,707 square miles. If this matter has been left exclusively to Mr. Lever, as his friend would do him the injustice to intimate, would the initiative have been taken outside .of his district and would he have favored other sections rather than his own? The tirst survey made in Mr. Lever's district was the Orangeburg survey, made in 1904, and the two ot^ier surveys] were In Lee and Sumter In 1907. The survey in Abbeville county was made in 1902. while Senator Latimer was in congress, and before Mr. Lever was a member of the agricultural committee. The surveys in Darlington and Horry were made the same year, while Mr. Scarborough was in congress. These men had been serving for some years when the surveys were made, and both of them were known to be active and able representatives. Mr. Lever was then a new man in the house, and it is unreasonable to suppose that these men of longer service would appeal to him, even before his appointment to the agricultural committee, to have surveys made in their respective districts. Without assuming to speak with reference to the surveys made in Lancaster, Cherokee and York, Mr Finley's district, which, to say tinleast of It, he was competent to have secured on his own motion, I may and do speak detlntely of the surveys in Anderson and Oconee. 1 know that these surveys were made upon my request direct to the department, and not through anybody as intermediary. There were surveys at later dates in the dstrlcts of Messrs. Johnson and Legare. They would probably want some credit for having then) made. This is written in no unfriendly spirit for Mr. Lever, who I esteem highly as a personal friend, and appreciate as an able and faithful public servant. And I do not brieve that Mr. Lever would himself do Injustice* to his colleagues: hut his friends, in this wholesasle claim for him, have overstepped the bounds of reason, and do injustice both to Mr. Lever and his colleagues. It is not likely that soil surveys were made here immediately on the request of any person, as preliminary arrangements are always necessary. And yet there were soi 1 surveys here as early as 1902. Mr. Lever is doing a good work in his efforts to push the soil surveys. If other members are not equally successful, It is not because they are no equally interested.

The returns from San Francisco, where r-form issues are uppermost, are meagre up to midnight, and give uo indication of the outcome. The Pennsylvania State elections, for treasurer, auditor general and Judge cf the Supreme Court resulted in the usual Republican majority. In Maryland, the constitutional amendment disfranchising the negro, is still in doubt, the Baltimore vote being strongly against the amendment, while returns from the interior indicate increasing strength for the amendment. Mayor Tom Johnson, the pictnresque#nwiyor of Cleveland. Ohio, has been defeated by a decisive majority by Herman Raelir, Republican. In Indianapolis, where the temperance issue has figured, Lewis Shank, Republican, is elected over Charles A. tlauss. Democrat. KMT MKKT DIlATli Ami Many Injured l?y Railroad Accident at Jersey City.
