We hope that every hunter—includ ing: the sportsmen and those who are not—will read the communication of Dr. W. M. Jones, of this city, relative to the frame situation in South Caro lina. Unless some measures are taken to protect the frame birds in this State they will soon be as extinct as the dodo. We agree with Dr. Jones that a three-year closed season is not the remedy, as only the sportsmen will observei such , a law, leaving a clear field to the class that is already doing all in its power to wipe out the quail. Apparently the worst offenders along this line are those who do not own one foot of land—what care they, therefore, if they kill all of the game on the lands of some one else? Nor are* game birds the only suffer ers from game law violations. Game fish are becoming scarcer each year, thanks to traps, nets and dynamite. Certainly, “it^won’t be long now” before both the game birds and the game fish will have gone the way of the buffalo and the carrier pigeon, un less there is a more rigid enforcement of the game laws in the future than has been the case in the past.

The members of the Woman’s Mis sionary Society of the Barnwell Methodist Church had with them at their meeting last week Mrs. G. M. Salloy, secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society for the Orange burg District. Mrs. Salley gave the devotional address, basing her re marks on the llfith Psalm, with es pecial emphasis on the verse: “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits to me?’’ She used a poster to illustrate this question, forming in answer, “To render ser vice, offer prayers and coctend mis sions.’’ This talk was enjoyed by about 25 members of the society, with several members of the Blackville aux iliary as visitors. Church Study Clans. Senators West and Hamrick are the authors of a bill requiring that all automobile drivers be licensed and no licenses be issued to habitual drunkards and drug addicts. This would be an excellent law—if it were enforced aft<r enactment. We are heartily in favor of it but fear that the only immediate results would be the collection of an additional dollar from automobile drivers. The new law would prohibit chil dren under 14 years of age from driving cars. Isn’t there such a law already on the statute books?—and how well is it enforced ? Towns and cities have speed limits and drivers are supposed to <ncereise due caution in operating their cars over the streets, and yet a Barnwell lady had to run for her life Monday to avoid being struck by a high-powered car whose driver was certainly ex ceeding any reasonable speed limit. How wtill are traffic laws enforced in our towns and cities? There is a law requiring all vehicles—both motor and horse- drawn—to display a light or reflector at night. As Otis Brabham, of Allen dale, points out in a -letter to The State, a five cents tin pan will make an excellent receptor and afford am ple protection to the driver of a wagon or buggy, and yet how well is such a law enforced? Oh, well, it will only cost a dollar a head to try out the West-Hamrick drivers’ licenes law and certainly no law should be left unpassed that promises the slightest degree of pro tection on the highways. January and February are the months set aside for special mission ary cultivation throughout the whole Methodist Church in ev«iry congrega tion. The book for study this year is “The Methodist Evangel” by Dr. O. E. Goddard. It is said to be a great mes sage and no one should fail to get it. The first of the three study classes was held in the Barnwell Methodist Church Sunday evening at the time of the regular preaching service. The Rev. M. L. Banks at this hour gave a delightful review of the first two Chapters of the book to a large am attentive class of hearers. The nexl; two chapters were presented Wednes day evening of this wiek, February 13th, under the leadership of the Woman’s Missionary Society, and next Sunday evening at the same hour (7:30 o’clock) this study will be com pleted. All officials and church mem- bers are cordially invited to attend. Missionary Society Meets. First! We are to observe a national holiday dedicated to a man who was alw r ays 44 First.” It was said of him that he was “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” * Washington’s Birthday! The day on which we pay tribute to one of the noblest spirits that ever breathed the jwr of America. His achievements and nobility are too well known even to be mentioned. What American has not thrilled to the story of his life! Important how ever is the necessity of learning from the example of Washington—let us each try in our own w r ay to be “‘first” in whatever service we render or oc cupation we practice. And Washington’s career, proves to us that td be “first” does not require questionable acts, indelicate aggres- afrences, or disregard of the “other fellow.” Washington teaches us that to be “first” we must have high qualities of heart and mind; must strive to be honest and kind at all times; must ap ply ourselves thoroughly to whatever we wish to do well. i. Washington rose to great esteem because of qualities that are worthy emulation. He did not become “first” hf pushing others to the rear. He be- same a leader both in war and peace lie intrinsic ability and Intel- The Woman’s Missionary Society of the Baptist Church held its regular monthly meeting at the church last Tuesday with 36 members present After devotiontl exercises led by Mrs Forest Brown and members of her Circle, a short business session was held.
