PROTECT TAE BIRDS.
The Farmer's Best Friends?Are
Decreasing Rapidly.
Columbia, October 26:?Our use- j
ful birds, without the aid of which
it would be impossible to grow crops
successfully, are rapidly decreasing
-? ? ' ? > U!o tforliMIC o
in numoers. msu m mo <?i iuUU
tivities is the main cause of this decrease.
These facts and manv athers just
as startling are strikingly brought
out in a bulletin entitled, "Decrease
of Birds in South Carolina," issued
recently by the State University.
This report is most interesting, and
should be widely read and discussed.
It is the result of an inquiry into
the subject made by the State Audubon
society. The evidence which
forms its basis was furnished by
competent unprejudiced observers in
every part of the State.
It is the opinion of most of these
observers that the alarming decrease
in our valuable wild bird life is due
in a large measure to the carelessness,
ignorance and greed of man.
It is stated that man has turned
loose on birds such destructive natural
enemies as the English sparrows,
dogs and cats; that he has
brought to his aid in his direct destruction,
improved fire-arms, smokeless
powder, automobiles, etc. Burning
over woods and fields, destruction
of forests, and many other
causes are cited as contributing to
the decrease.
In addition many suggestions are
given for the better protection of
birds. Most of the observers reporting
from those counties having the
resident hunting license law, are enthusiastic
in its support. Many express
themselves as anxious to see
the law made State-wide with no
exemptions.
Many of the suggestions given
are of vital importance and should
rpppive verv serious consideration
on the part of the public. Dogs
roaming at large during the birds'
breeding season are considered a
great curse to ground-nesting birds,
and a State-wide,high dog tax ia suggested
as a remedy. Many consider
dove-baiting as unsportsmanlike and
suggest that it should be prohibited
by law. South Carolina is advised
to follow the good example set by
Georgia in this respect. The deplorable
fact is stressed that the
public is wofully ignorant of the
value of birds to man, the game laws
and reasons for their rigid enforcement.
One ob.-erver suggests: "Educate
the public to know the value of
birds, and they will then demand
right laws and their enforcement."
In the opinion of many, there should
be a State-wide campaign of education
as to the usefulness of birds,
and hird studv should be compulsory
in the schools.
Every person interested in the material
welfare of this State should
read this report. Single copies may
be had free by writing either to the
Audubon Society, or to the Extension
Department of the Stajte University,
at Columbia.

Democrats Lose Congress.
Washington, November 13:?Democratic
leaders today admitted that
it looked as if there must be a shift
in at least three districts before they
could hope to control the House of
Representatives in the next Congress.
Republicans still stick to their
claims of 218, with two Pennsylvania
districts in doubt, upon which the
two parties may divide evenly. The
result there will be determined when
the solider vote is canvassed tomorrow.
If the Democrats secure both
these districts, in one of which a
Republican was elected on the face
of present returns, they would stil
be short of votes enough to control
the House.
The President has been advised of
the situation, and if it is shown that
the official count in close districts
gives the house to the Republicans,
his recommendations to Congress
for work during the next three
months will be many.

DESERVES MOST, BUT GETS LESS
Nobody Works Harder Than the
Country Newspaper Editor.
No man works harder for his town
and neighborhood than the editor of
the country newspaper. He puts in:
l more hours and draws down less|
j pay than any man we know.
The biggest "booster" in the enI
tire show is a bright, breezy, ag
(gressive, progressive, newsy paper;
I but the subscription list will barely
j pay for the raw material.
If you don't happen to like what
he says about this, that or the other
matter, go around to the office and
have it out with him, but stay in
the game.
We are not always fair or reasonable.
We insist that the editor whoop
it up all the time, whether we contribute
a cent or not.
If we should steal a flock of sheep,
he must not mention the fact, but if
our neighbor does some little thing
he ought not, why, he must be shown
up, or we stop our paper and refuse
to pay the back subscription. So
there!
We expect the editor to fight our
battles, champion our cause, boost
our business, advertise our families,
cover up our deviltry, for the splendid
sum of 3 cents a week. (Some
of us are worse than that, as we do
not even subscribe for the paper,
let alone advertise our wares.)
The man who can't afford to take
his local paper can't afford to exist,
and the man who can't afford to advertise
can't afford to remain in
business.
No man does as much for the public,
on as small pay, as the editor of
a country newspaper.
A dead newspaper means a dead
town, and it is unreasonable to expect
a live paper unless you support
it. If your paper is no, good the
chances are you are no good, and
the thing for you to do is to quit
dreaming, brace up, wake up, ginger
up. tumble up?any way to
get up.
Start something, and the surest
way to do that is to advertise.?Atlanta
