WERE QUI IN FORGE BIRDS WILL SOON BE SCARCE | HERE FIRST DAY OUT Many Listened ko the Lore of dbe j Forest Yesterday end Every Field Was Fairly Alive. A stranger traveling through An rson yesterday would have hesitat ed not one moment should be have chanced to pass a field. He would at once conclude that a man-hunt was being waged or something of the kind, because of the fact that every piece of land in the entire county seemed to be fairly alive with hunters enjoy ing their first day of the season. The bird law went out Sunday. There is of course, no way of get ting the correct figures, but it is esti mated upon the best figures obtain able, that 1,033 men stayed at home from church yesterday, upon the pre test of the weather and incidentally cleaned up their old shotguns, hunt ing coate and pint flasks. This lutter to carry the bait-no, beg pardon, this isn't a fishing trip, they carry the flasks Just for the spirit of the occa sion. Within lesa than a week, there will be all sorta of Btorles In the newspap ers about tho "sad tragedy" of "Hi ram Perkins" or someone else, whose head was perforated by a huntsman who thought it waa a wild turkey. Some one else with a safety catch on his gun will start to crawl through the barbed wire fence and blow him self to pieces. Others will Just natur ally forget that the gun 1B cocked and plug some Innocent guy standing be hind and there will be others of the various natures, all paying a tpll to tho desire for hunting. The fellow who was not drowned during the summer by rocking the boat, will end bis ca reer with an unloaded gun. Thc open season on deer m this 1 State begins on Gop te meer 1, and continues until January 1. As to par tridges and wild turkeys the open sea- I son commences on November 16 and continues until March 16th. The open season for doves ls now on, having commenced on August 16. It will con tinue until March. There is a law on tho state statute which makes lt un lawful for any person to cast abroad on any field or other land, grain or other food, as bait for doves, for the purpose of hunting doves between March 16 and December 1. For woodcock, the open season commences September 1 and contin ues untli January: for willet Nov ember 1 t? March ii tor wood dudes, September 1 to March 1; for grackle, October 1 to March 1. Violations of tho closed sc&scn arc pn tenable by a Ono of flo for each bird killed or pur sued. Among nome of the Important pro visions of the hunting laws, accord ing to the code of 1912, no person is allowed to kill more than twenty-five partridges, twenty-five doves or two wild turkeys during any one season. Ko parson is allowed to hunt on hinda of another without owner's consent; and it ls unlawful for persons to hunt with fire by night This offense is punishable by a one of not more than |10 for each bird killed during the night, S?5 f?r each deer killed. There le a law also against trap Iping birds except upon one's own land and this doubtless was drawn for tho pot-hunters who used to snare whole coveys at the time.

HAS BEEN MISSING NOW FOR SEVEN WEEKS HAS DISAPPEARED Was Oat of a Position and Wan dered From Home-Wife Ap pealed to Tba Intelligencer. After having exhausted atl other [resources and tried in vain to get some clue to her husband's where abouts, Mrs. J. M. Martin yesterday appealed to The Intelligencer to aid ?her in her search for her missing husband and to assist in restoring [him to his home and family. Accord ing to Mrs. Martin her husband has been gone for aeven weeks and wheth er -or not there bas been foul play of some sort she docs not know. She i ls alarmed, as aro the friends and rel atives ot Mr. Martin, and an exhaus tive search ot the country is now be ing planned. Mrs. Martin presented a pathetic figure yesterday as she told, in tremb ling voice and eyes flited with tears, of the two little boys at home wait ing for their father, of how sick one of the little fellows ls, and of how he calls constantly for "daddy" to come back. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Martin lived on Crayton street in Anderson and that Mr. Martin first worked for the Brlssey Lumber Company and then for the Barton Lumber Company. They moved to this city mst Christ mas and had been happy and content ed here until the head of the house ...ist his position and as the savings grew smaller and smaller and no new position appeared. Mr. Martin contin ually grew more and more despond ent. Finally he left home one morn ing with tho announcement that ho was going to try to find a Job and ho has not been home again. The fam lly was ejected from the residence on Crayton street because the rent was not paid and then Mrs. Martin had to take her children and return to her father's home, near Williamston. Beaders of The Intelligencer are all asked to lend their aid In thc ef fort now being made to find the mis sing man. oooooooooooooooooooo o. o o IVA, NEWS o * ?. > n o o o o O ooo ooo o o o o o o o Miss Thelma Smith was hostess at a party at her. bottle on Friday even ing.

C E MEN HERE DISCUSSING MEASURE NEW MOVE BY THE INSUR ANCE COMMISSIONER WANTS MORE ? AXES Announcement of F. H. McMaster Was Hoard in Anderson Yes terday With Interest Almost every insurance man In An derson was interested yesterday in the announcement that P. H. Mc Master, insurance commissioner for South Carolina, will have some inter esting things lo recommend to the next General Assembly of South Caro lina. It was hard to get any expres sion (rom local insurance roon yes terday but lt was perfectly evident that moBt of them do not agree with Mr. TVIcMastcr In his conclusions. F. II. McMaster, insurance commis sioner, tn his annual report to the general assembly, will say that be tween $30,000.000 and $40.000,000 worth of property held by South Car I olinlnn8 in this state has never ap peared on the tax books, "and ao far as our -information gocB no effort has over been made to have it entered on ?the tax books." Reference ls made to the cash surrender values of life in ? surance policies held by South Caro linians! It 1B safe to say that these J values amount to between $30,000,000 |?hd $40.000,000. "In consideration of- thu mattrr and review of the authorities, how ever, it does not appear that it is held anywhere that cash surrender values of life insurance policies may not be made a subject of taxation, and be question arises in connection with the taxation of insurance companies, whether or not the $80,000,000 to $40, 000,000, in round figures, the cash surrender Values of insurance policies held by South Carolinians are not or should not bo made a subject to taxa tion. "Thc companies have cried out from time to time and have generally persuaded tho public that insurance companies arc taxed mere heavily than other institutions, but careful and Impartial students of the subject will find this not to be true. As shown be? re lo reports of this department, life insurance companies of other States should be taxed on their cash taxed merely on premium receipts, and the reserves which are practically tho cash surrender values, are neith er taxed here nor elsewhere, the com panies securing exemption from tax ation on their reserves in their home States oh tho around that their re serves are liabilities to their policy holders and are the property of their policyholders. Certainly, on the show, lng of the companies thomee! rea, thc policyholders, then:.'ore, in their home Stets shoeuld be taxed on their cash surrender values. "It ls generally admitted that the present" system of taxation in South Carolina ls unsatisfactory. Therefore, an injustice would be dono it the cash surrender value e.*. policies should be taxed at their full face value, consid eration being given to the fact that the companies .pay tax on their pre Sm ?sesme from cc 'sin of tuese I policies. Tn view of this condition this de partment <s not recommending that the cash surrender values ot policies ''old In insurance companies now licensed in this State and paying taxes to tho State bo taxed. But certainly there can bo no objection at all to re quiring all cash surrender vaines to he returned ana those to be exempted from taxation which are In Insurance companies now licensed In tho State and paying, taxes and license fees to tho State, but imposing the ordinary State and County tax on cash sur- ! render values on policies held by citi zens of this State in companies which are not licensed in the State and which are not paying taxes to the State." a few days herc with her aunt, Mrs. J.
