Killed.

As the hunting season is over. sports
men who are interested in the main
tenance Of game are looking out for Vi
olatOrs Of the game laws. There has been
some misunderstanding with regard 10
the tenor Of the laws. People In this

a good hunting ground. are especially IN
terested in them, and the substance Of
these laws is given herewith:
]. No person can hunt kill. wound or
destroy any deer or fawn in this state
between the first day Of January and the
first day Of October of any year. OF sell
or offer for sale any such deer Witnln
the dates aforesaidi and upon TINS point
the acts of 1891, 1888 and 1870 are 10 De
construed together.
2 No person can shoot, trap, kill, en-
snare, net or destroy in any manner, any
wild turkey, pheasant snlpe, partrldse OF
any insectivirous or singing bird in this
state, between the first day or April ana
the first day of November Of any year (and
possibly as to doves, between Aprs ana sal
July Is in any year,, or sell or oner Ior
sale the same within the dates AFORESAID.
3. English sparrows, crows. larks, rice
birds and wheat birds may be killed De-
tween Jan. 1 and Nov. in any year
4. The penalty for violating the game
law OF this state, as II pertains 10 the
killing or selling of the various KINDS OF
game included above. is flne, not 10 eX-
coed one thousand dollars, imprisonment
not to exceed six months, 10 work in the

other works as the county authorities
may employ such chain-gang Excluding
leases of prisoners to private parties or
corpOrations), not to exceed twelve
months, and any one or more OF these
punishmsnts may be ordered in the dis
erection of the judge before whom any
violators of this law may be tried.
s. BY special act for Chatham and
Bryan counties, approved Feb. II, 1874,
amendatory of an act approved Feb. p,
1873, wild ducks cannot be killed or Of
fered for sale in said counties, between
April l and Oct. l of any year. The
fact of being in possession of any such
bird or exposing the same for sale is
prima facie proof of the fact of such kill
ing by the possessor. The penalty for
violating this special law is a fine not
to exceed $500, or Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding six months, at
the discretion of the court.
The above statement is substantiated by

FAVORABLE TO ASPHALT.
IL VIII BE Carefully Considered for
south Broad street

The proposition of the Warren-Scharf
Asphalt Company to pave South Broad
street with asphalt at a much lower rate
than they have ever done for the city
is regarded very favorably by some of
the members of the board. Several of the
aldermen have so expressed themselves.
They consider that If asphalt can be had
at cost approximating that of vitrified
brick that asphalt should be used.
South Broad street in entitled to the
very best pavement that is to be had, =
said one Of them Paved with asphalt
it would be the handsomest street in the
south"
Mayor Myers said. when spoken to about
the matter, that he considered the propo-
sition of the Warren-Scharf company a
very attractive one. 1t will be given
very careful consideration by the board.
he said
The bids for vitrihed brick are to be
received by the commissioner of public
works Monday, at noon, as advertised for,
and the action of council upon the War
ren-Schart company's proposition will de-
pend to large extent upon the charac-
ter Of these bids. If vitrihed brick can be
obtained at much lower figure than the
estimated cost the decision TO pave South
Broad street with Vitrihed brick will
probably he adhered to.

will be very small. The entire cost of the

INVESTIGATING THE FIRES.
The Police at Work on Every CIew
They Can Find.

Iney Can t1n0.
There were no more incendiary attempts
yesterday so far as known and there were
no developments in connection with the
incendiary attempts of Thursday The de-
tectives and police are still at work, but
no arrests have been made and if the Of
ficers have any clues they are keeping
them to themselves.
There was a rumor in circulation that
an attempt had been made TO burn the
Guards arsenal The foundation for the
rumor was that one of the colored en-
ployes had come TO work with cigar in
his mouth and not wanting to lose his ci-
gar struck it in his coat pocket when he
hung his coat in the janitor's closet. The
cigar burned a hole in the pocket and
dropped on the floor where it burned a
small hole in the carpet. Fire Chief Ma
guire heard the report and called at the
arsenal at once. where he was informed
of the facts.
The Waterman at the Savannah. Florida

the wires. He Immediately telephoned his
suspicious to the police barracks and two
policemen and detective were sent to in

wrong and concluded that the watchman's
fears were unfOunded.

large audience. Miss Rosalind Conner, who

ponse to repeated recalls, sang a song en-
titled, "A Little Maiden of To-day" The
little lady won golden opinions, by the
graceful manner in which she executed
her dances, aud rendered her song.
Master Percy Lynwood sang Love
Sorrow, and in response to a recall, "Au
