It Almost goes without saying that If birds, game and fish are worth pre? serving, then they must be intelli? gently looked after, and to do this en? tails expense. How shall this expenss be met?? The question has been agi? tated for a long time, and the net re? sult is that all States and countries that are preserving game have adopt? ed the license system. None has sver tried it and abandonsd it. This uni? versal experience ought to weigh mightily la determining a State's policy. Fortunately for South Carolina, game protection is undertaken at a time when the the State has the ben? efit of observing the operation of this license system, as it has operated in other States, and can profit by their experience with abundant opportuni? ty for improving on their systems. There is no need of long and costly experiment. Outside of what has been done at the North and in the West, many Southern States have adopted the plan of putting a license on hunters. Among these are Florida, Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas and Ar? kansas. In these the conditions are fairly similar to the conditions in South Carolina, and In Mississippi they are almost exactly the same. The plan, as proposed by the Audu boa Society of South Carolina, will be carried out in this wise. Upon pass? age of an Act by the General Assem? bly a number of books will be Issued and sent out to to the Clerks of Court. These wlu contain each 100 licenses with stubs attached, both be? ing numbered. With each book will go 100 metal tags in a box. similarly numbered. A warden will be appoint? ed for each county, whose duty will be to collect these licenses. The li? cense will cost $1 and be good for one year. The warden will be required to furnish bond to the Clerk of Court, to be approved by him, in the sum of $600. Having taken the oath* and furnished the required bond, the war? den will proceed to collect the license, failure to pay which be punished by fine of from $10 to $25, or corres? ponding Imprisonment The warden will bo compensated by 25 per cent, of what he collects, or 25 cents on the dollar. This will furnish employ? ment for good men at remunerative rates while they are at work, that is, for several months in each year. On furnishing the hunter with his license the warden will also furnish a metal tag to correspond, tacking the tag on the front of the gun stock, the slz? and phape of the tag being changed each year so that any warden may be able to tell at a glance whether any tag Is out of date. The money so collected shall be transmitted by the Clerk, less such remuneration as shall be allowed that officer for his work, to the State Treas? urer and placed to the credit of the "Game Protection Fun 1." Any amount over nn i above what is required for the oof or i ement Of tho law may be turned Into the School Fund by the Legislature. The wardens collecting this license are not to be confused with the regu? lar warden force, which Is charged with the enforcement of the law. Theai regular wardens wdll be put on salary an,. their expenses paid while Ig discharge of their duty. If people will reflect on the pres? ent condition of affairs and what vast and permanent benefits are to be de? rived from such conservation of the State's resources, there can be no tlouht that the license will beebme law anc' receive the support of the people, for In the last analysis it is the people Who art the sufferers un dor th; j- irnt wasteful practice. The Whole bod> , the people will be the gainers tinder the changed order. Within a few years South Carolina would again be stocked with game and fish and the enormous losses now Inflicted on the crop* by insect rav? ages would be cut down, thus adding In another way far greater benefits to the State and Its people than any amount of game and fish could add. The plan Is thus frankly outlined, foi there Is no reason for concealing any? thing from the people; !' :s then cause and there Is no greiier b< tot* the people of America. Some time since I had iccasfrn |n call attention to the fact, bften com? mented on by the w-i ' s thinkers that here In A merle < moofS y is on trial and that tri ill not I a de* mined hy any the political par? ties now battling for supremacy, The issue is before the court of the ages, and the answer is in tin womb >f time. In Old times, the king, advised by the educated jiviest. preserved his game, his Ash and his forests. He had these things with their resulting ben? efits In great abundance. Never once did royalty I? t go any of thest valued and precious prerogatives until roy? alty ceased to have Jurisdiction, Now the i" ople have succeeded In [thli country, at least, to all the privi? leges and prerogative! Of royalty. They have, and may continue to have forevi ?, ail that made kingship at t active, The resources of the world's continent Ii theirs,, "to have and to lodd." As they conserve tiles, thing i (use them wisely and not wastefully), so may they continue to possess and enjoy them. But if they continue to waste these royal posses? sions, then the heritage of the fathers will shortly cease to exist, and too late the people will And that royal prerogatives may be possessed for any length of time only by wise foresight and prudent use. Democracy is, therefore, on trial. If is the overshad? owing Issue before every party, the final question in every State. It is the hope of the Audubon So? ciety that men in charge of the State's affairs, having devolved on them the solemn responsibility of caring for the State's welfare and of conserving its resources, may discharge that respon? sibility like men. The clamor of the idle, the heedless and the vicious, should not be permitted to obscure this fact. There is not an argument that has ever been framed or that can be framed to Justify the waste of re? sources. One generation has no mor? al right to destroy what of right be? longs to all generations. It should be the ambition of every man to leave the State In aa good condition aa he found It, to say the least. Wherefore, with two years' practi? cal experience in an untried field, the Audubon Society of South Carolina, chartered by the General Assembly of the State and composed of the State's j citizens, and so recommends to the citizens, finds that the system of hunt? ing license. In general use throughout this and other countries, is the best way to raise revenue for the protec? tion of birds, game and fish: the best way to give proper protection to property; the best way to ensure the perpetuity of the bird, fish and game supply of the State for the use of its citizens, and so recommends to the General Assembly. A little reflection will show that the Society seeks nothing for itself. The money collected does not go to the Audubon Society, and never can. The Society Is supported by Its members, and Intends to spend every dollar It can collect from these members In ed? ucating the people to the value of bird life to the world. Having a serious public duty and responsibility laid on It by the Gen? eral Assembly, It has sought to meas? ure up to both duty and responsibility. The gainer will be the State, and, therefore, all Its people. The man who is killing the game and catching the fish ought to be re? quired to contribute something to? wards preserving these things, and the amount required is very small? so small that any man that can afford the luxury of hunting and fishing can afford to pay it. In order that such work of enforc? ing the laws might be carrfed on with? out embarrassment to the Society, at its annual meeting last week the Au? dubon Society recommended the ap? pointment of a Game and Fish Com? missioner, who shall have charge of enforcing the laws, his pay to com? from the Gam<- Protection Fund, and be no tax on the State Treasury. The Society recommended that the Commissioner be nominated by the Audubon Society and appointed by the Governor, by and With the advice and consent of the Senate, thus fur? nishing every needed check and keep? ing the work absolutely divorced from politics. Every citizen of the State should give this maiter his serious attention and see that it is acted on by his Representatives in the General As? sembly. The Audubon Society, without money and with limited powers, and with mixed and confusing laws to handle, has shown what can be done. South Carolina is revolutionized al? ready; it merely remains for the peo? ple to reap the reward, to secure the fruit of that work for themselves and their children henceforth and forever more.

Laurens, Nov. 3.?Indications are that prohibition wins by an over? whelming majority. Eleven pre? cincts out of 26 heard from at this hour give the dispensary 334 votes, and 1.089 against sale. This includes most of the larger boxes. The re? maining 14 are small, and will poll barely 600, making a total vote of 2. 000 cast in the election. The dispensary Is defeated, it being an impossibility to overcome the present majority. Every precinct so far has given prohibition a majority. Chester, Nov. 3.?Returns from the dispensary election indicate the over? whelming defeat of the liquor shop. Fourteen boxes out of 18 votes as fol? lows: For sale, 287; against sale. 949; a majority of 662 against the dis? pensary. Returns from the four miss? ing precincts are expected to increase this majority. Manning. Nov. 4.?Complete re? turns are not yet in from the several precincts In this county. A lighi: vote was polled and little interesv. manifested, except in the vote on the dispensary. The total vote polled was probably not over 1,250, and of these the Democratic electors and Congress? man Legare received about 1,200. Re? turns from 15 out of 18 precincts on the prohibition question give for th?> sale 231. against the sale 788, or mor?? than 3 to 1 In favor of prohibition. As previously stated in The News and Courier, there was some irregularity In publishing the notice of election on the dispensary question, and there are reports of some Irregularities at some of the precincts, but it is not known yet whether there will be a legal contest over the declaration of the result of the election. Regular or irregular, it is certain that a large majority of the voters have declared against the continuance of the county dispensary. CORPORATIONS BEAT BRYAN. Such is Congressman D. E. Finley's Opinion of Election. Columbia. Nov. 4.?Congressman D. E. Finley, vice chairman of the Dem? ocratic congressional committee and dean of the South Carolina congres? sional delegation, was in the city today en route to Newberry to attend the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod. Mr. Finley had hoped to see a Democratic majority in the house of representatives. "The defeat of Mr. Bryan is a great disappointment to the party generally, and particularly to those directly con? nected with the campaign. "The principal argument used against Mr. Bryan amongst business men was the guarantee ban* C -posit proposition. I am satisfied the country did not care to or H; 1 not have the time to consider this p;opOfitlon fav? orably. After all the fight was one based on prejudice twelve years old. While the Democrats put up a splen? did right, and In a majority of the states were more united than at any time since 1892, the trusts and great corporations were solidly opposed to Mr. Bryan's election, and during the last few weeks of the campaign fur? nished all the money that could be used In bringing about his <3efeat." A TREE FOR EACH COUNTY. Mr. Becker Wishes to Have Them on State House Grounds. Mr. August F. Becker, who is In charge of the improvements being made on the state house grounds, pro? poses to put into execution a novel plan to make the state house grounds beautiful and In addition to provide associations that in later years will mean much to South Carolina and her people. Many of the trees on the west? ern side of the state house must he taken up and replaced by others. Mr. Becker's Idea Is to have a tree from each county In the state and if pos? sible to have each tree a different va? riety. With a little assistance from South Carolina citizens in each of the counties this plan should materi? alize In the near future. Mr. Becker is very anxious to suc? ceed in this plan and urges that every effort should be made by South Caro? lina citizens to assist him in realizing this hope.

Wooien Given PreUmlnary at Ijexingtoii and Round Over for Trlnl nt the Higher Court?Two Physicians Testify That the Girl Had Been AsMaulted. Lexington. Nov. 2.?Z. W. Wooten was given a preliminary hearing be? fore Magistrate B?chman of New Brookland today, who came here for that purpose. After hearing all the testimony in the case Magistrate Bachman promptly bound the defend ant over to the higher court, upon the charge of criminal assault. Mrs. Delia Wooten was the princi? pal witness against her husband and she told a horrible story. She told how she had caught her husband In the act, and how he had threatened to kill her If she ever divulged the story. She stated that she had gone out of the house to get a bucket of water; she heard the child screaming and rushed in upon her husband. She stated that Wooten caught her in the collar with one hand while he held a razor in the other and declared that he would kill her and the child both on the spot unless she would promise him never to tell It. She said that her husband most always slept with his razor beneath his pil? low, and she knew that If she did tell It he would kill her. She claims though that she did tell a Mrs. Hutto at Pellon about it and showed her the child after the injury. During her testimony she held the child In her arms and would often kiss It with, an unusual amount of motherly aYec tlon. At one time Wooten displayed his temper. He asked his wife if she did not know that she had to die. Mrs. Wooten answered in the affirmative, whereupon her husband told her that he was sorry for her. After Mrs. Wooten's testimony, the defendant's attorney asked that two reputable physicians be called to ex? amine the child, and accordingly the magistrate summoned Drs. E. P. Derrick and J. J. Wlngard. After an examination they were sworn and each testified to the fact that the child had been Injured. The case will be submitted to the grand Jury Wednesday morning. If a true bill is "found against the de? fendant It Is likely that the case will be disposed of at this court. WOOTEN NOT INDICTED.
