The South Carolina Legislature pro-
poses TO adopt vigorous measures for the
protection OF terrapins. Unless some such
Law ; are enacted it IS said that this spe-
cies OF the genus chelonia Will soon be-
come extinct in the waters of the Palmetto
State.
A. Beaufort correspondent writing to
the Charleston News and Courier on this
subject, says "The profits derived from
the sale Of these little creatures that go
to titivate the appeties Of McAllister's
four hundred is enough TO tempt the
cupidity Of any one engaged in the bust
ness. They are bought here from the
negroes and from first hands at from
twenty cents to thirty to forty cents
apiece, according to size, and sell in New
York, Philadelphia and Washington mar
kets at from SIS TO 81, and even $36 a
dozen. Many a one has gone TO Wash

Of departments upon the theory that the
shortest way to win their precious hearts

All the North Carolina Democrats have
to do is to sit quietly down and await
the division Of spoiIs by their Populist-
Republican enemies. Political greed and
mongrel misconduct will do the rest
Washington Post.
Just what The Times several days ago
pointed out. A coalition based upon greed
and dependent upon a division Of spoils
among the victors cannot long prove sue
cessful. The people Of Virginia witnessed
a similar condition of affairs when Ma
hone dominated this state for a short
time.
