SHOOTING PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
Topeka Naturalist Writes Concerning
aS,rious Condition Here.

Serious Condition Here.
To the Editor Of the Reflector.
TOPEKA, Feb, 8 Il send herewith q
clipping from local paper, the con-
tents Of which, if true, indicate a de.
plorable condition Of things. The
clipping reads:
ABILENE, Feb. MANY people are
complaining about the destruction Of
prairie chickens and asking who and
where the game warden is. The re-
cent SHOWS have driven the chickens
TO the fields Of kaflir corn for feed and
it is stated that notwithstanding that
it is unlawful to shoot the birds at
this time Of the year, they are being
ruthlessly slaughtered. There has
been some talk of lodging complaint
againsC number Of violators of the
game laws.
The interests Of the sportsman, the
interests Of humanity, stand decid.
edly against such a situation. The
law, which each Of us is supposed to
observe, permits the shooting Of
prairie chickens from August ID un.
til October ], surely q sufficient
period of time for the slaughter Of
this grand bird so nearly wiped out
Of existence As for game warden,
this state has seen fit to omit that Of.
flee from her payroll. However,
under the provisions Of the statutes
any police.ollicer, constable or sheriff
is a sef-appoIntcd game-warden,
vested with all the power to make ar !.
rests, seizures and convictions
1t is doubly wrong to shoot prairie
chickens at this time of the year. 1t
is unsportsmanlike to kill them when,
starving aud suffering, they forget
their usual caulion and come into the
cane-felds and the very barn-yards
for food Zoe past few weeks have
been very cruel to wild game, depriv.
ing them Of food and, in the absence
OF cover 0)r the fields have had
'scanty cover this past year, depriv-
ing them also OF shelter from storm
and from their enemies.
A prairie chicken makes most
miserable dish at this time of year,
for be is tough and the flavor is rank
yet it is a great temptation to the
average game-hog to shoot prairie
chicken whenever and wherever he
may be found. The members Of the
Abilene Gun Club could make it
sufficiently warm for these viola'ors
Of the game laws, and they should
have the support Of every sport-loving
citizen, and every true sportsman in
the county.
The year just passed witnessed
partial return Of the old times when
the prairie chicken thrived and WAS
plentiful. There was good crop all
over the state, and there are some left
despite the continuous bombardment
they have undergone. only rise to
ask how long will they continue to
thrive and increase II the game laws
are 10 be counted LOT naugnt! A
game law is practically dead letter,
it is true, but why is i,P There is
certain class Of sportsmen who would
never willingly violate agame law,
because their sentiments permit them
to enjoy only that which is right and
lawful. The man who wants to kill
all the game is the man for whom the
game laws are framed. 1t is a pity
be cannot be brought to see the error
Of bis ways. CHAs H. MORTON.

New York, Sept. 7.-Rev. DR..
Macarthur, at the Tooth meeting
of the Evangel tent to day, assail-
ed the doctrine of baptist. His
hearers rose to their feet and ap
plauded wildly. "Baptismal re-
generation is unreasonable and
unsc: iptural. The superstitions
that have gathered about infant
Baptism form one of the saddest
chapters iu church history. Thou
sands through all ages have be-
lieved that a child dying without
being baptised was eternally LIST.
This doctrine is heathenism. The
idea that God would condemn an
innocent babe is absurd. This
would make God tyrant and q
demon. Rather than believe in
such God | would be an evowed
intidel. This doctrine of baptis.
NAL regeneration makes the min
lister of religion worker of mag
ic, fakir, performer of eccles-
iastical miracles. Such teaching
is violation of all sound reason
and true Scripture teaching.

Chat From Chesterfield.
SPECIAL To The State.

SPECIAL To The State.
Chesterfield, Sept. 6.-Thi.
county has at last emerged from
it's Grip Wlnkle" sleep. AT.
ter many years of trying times
and hardships upon our people,
the light of day is dawnlng and a
new era has begun. On every
hand there is evidence that great
change is taking place. Our peo-
pie have become more enlighten-
ed and are looking to the future
with better hopes than ever be-
fore.
Notwithstanding the bad crop
condition of last year our people
are better off financially than ever
in the past.
Not only our people but the
government of the county is in a
fine financial condition. Treasur-
or Mangum states that up to
Aug. Is, 1902, the county is en-
tirely out of debt, able to meet
all claims and has for ordinary
county purposes $4,000 extra in
cash. For the schools, roads,
etc, the county has another $40, :
900.
There are no claims or debts
outstanding against the county,
none of the taxes for this year
have heeL collected or drawn on:
oil the running expenses of the
county have been paid up to Aug.
ID of this year, and still there re-
mains balance of $4,000 in
money in the treasury. This of
course must certainly speak much
for the county. Few, very few,
counties can make such a good
showing.

the day has been in consultation
with Chairman =. H. Thayer, of
the County Democratic executive
committee. Chairman Thayer
placed before the solicitor all the
af6davits and other evidences of
fraud during the recent primary
election. Under the laws of the
State the solicitor cannot himself
institute criminal proceedings
against anyone, but it is believed
that the report of the special com
mittee appointed to recount the
ballots in the senatorial race can
be made the basis for swearing
out warrants against certain man :
ayers of the election. Solicitor
Hildebrand reaffirmed his deter
nination to prosecute the guilty

"HOld Your Cotton. F"
This is the Advice Which Price,
the Cotton Expert, Gives to
the Owners and Producers
of the Staple.
Special to The Daily News.

Special to The Daily News.
New York, Sept. 6 Since the
publication of the government re-
port on cotton strenuous efforts TO
discredit it have been mad. by
certain houses in New York who
are large dealers in spot cotton
and whose purpose il is to break
the future markets, that they may
buy spot cotton more cbeaply.
Owners and producers of cotton
in the South should not, In my
opinion, be terrorized by such
measures, into parting with thei-
cotton. 1t is worth far more
than it is selling for, and unless
holders can be stampeded 1T will
bring such reasonable prices as
they may demand.

20, for the purpose of voting up
N the dissolution of the ex-
change.
This marks the close of the al
llance rs an active business con.
cern, as it has already practically
passed away as an organization.
This exchange has been a bone OF
contention for several years. II
was organized about fourteen
years ago, when all the farmers
OF the state were enthusiastic over
the order, and it did quite large
wholesale business in farm imple,
men,s, fertilizers, etc. The ex.
change finally accumulated some.
thing like SIT, 900 or little over.
The business of the exchange fin
ally dwindled down, and then be-
gan an agitation to dissolve it and
divide the money between the sub.
alliances which had contributed
money to the stock of the ex-
change. A great fight was made
at several successive annual meet
lngs over this matter, but the ex
change people always won until
the meeting last spring, when
they were defeated. A new boa, d
of directors was then chosen and #
is now favorable to winding IN
the affairs of the exchange and
returning the money to the sub
The money was deposited with
the old Farmers and Mechanics
bank, which has been merged
with the Palmetto Bank and
Trust company. Dividing out
the money will be difficult lob,
If such disposition of it is made,
and 1T will no doubt take more
than n year to accomplish the
task.

Lancaster and the Southern.

Lancaster and the Southern.
The Southern Field, which is
the official organ of the Southern
railway, contains in its Septemb Der
number, an inter esting write up
of some of the towns along the
old Three C's. That portion of
the write up which relates to Ian
caster county is as follows:
Lancaster county belongs to
the Piedmont region of the State.
The lands of the county are quite
varied in appearance, some parts
rolling, some generally level and
some hilly and broken. Some of
the soils are somewhat sandy, but
usually have a red clay subsoil.
Along the western border of the
county is the Catawba river fur
nishing fine water power at num-
erous places, especially Lands
ford, where the river is very rapid.
The leading points are Kershaw,
Heath Springs and Lancaster.
Kershaw has about 1000 peo>
pie. The leading industries are
cotton seed oil mill and planning
mill, each employing about 25
hands. The Halle Gold Mining
company is located a few miles
distant from this point and en-
ploys 125 hands. Another i'm
portant gold mine near here is the
Brewer mine at which about 25
men are employed.
There are large quantities of !
pin, tlmber from 10 to Is miles
distant which it is thought can be
worked with profit by building
tram road to the timber. The
leading crops of the surrounding
country are corn and cotton.
Fruits, such as peaches, grapes
and melons are grown very pro-
fitably.
Heath Springs has population
of about 800. The soil Of this
locality is especially adapted to
the growth of fine watermelons
and canteloupes. Melons which
will average so pounds each can
be grown without especial care or
labor. Near Heath Springs is a
granite quarry of dark blue
color, the product of which finds
ready sale at good prices. A good
opening is presented here for the
development of large granite |
business.
Lancaster is the county seat OF,
Lancaster county and has popu>
lation of about $500. 1t is quite
an industrial town in the cotton
manufacturing line, having a large |
mill and another one in which the
machinery is now being installed, |
the Investment being over 81 ,OOO,-
900. Near Lancaster there is
very fine water power, the Catawo
ba river being only few miles to
the west where it has the velocity
of great cataract. In this vicin-
ity dairy and truck farming
should be quite successful.
