From every part of the State infor.
mation comes that thousands of birds
are being killed in this section by
sportsmen and those who kill the game
for the market. Long strings of birds
are peddled around The streets of
towns daily and offered for sale at
from 8 to 6 cents each. Nearly every
farmer who comes to q town brings
a string OF birds for sale. Hunters
say that In some sections the birds are
being eStermlnated. and 1t is nothing
unusual for a large covey to be re
duced to three in number There is
an abundance Of game now. but this
cannot be said next year unless this
slaughter is stopped.

Mr.. Charles F. Reid, agent Of the
Seaboard Air Line at this place, died
this morning at $3.50 o'clock, after
protracted and most painful illness,
in the 56th year of his life.
He has been agent since 1865, and no
man has ever been more faithful in
the discharge of duty, more devoted
IN business or more honest and up
right In all his dealings. He had the
respect and confidence of nil men. He
was dcvout Christian and has doubt
less entered upon that rest that has no
end. He leaves sorrowing wife and
afectionate daughter Just merging in
to womanhood.
His church, the community and al,
good citizens will deeply feel the void
