High School Election.

The petitions calling for an election
on the question of establishing a high
school at Bamberg have been circu-
lated this week and the necessary
signatures obtained. Bamberg and
Hampton school districts will unite
in holding the election, and it will
be called at an early date. That the
taxpayers of these districts will vote
for the high school seems a foregone
conclusion, as every one seems to be
in favor of it. The high school fea-
ture will add two grades to our
graded school, and will necessitate
the employment of an additional
teacher.

M. Billings Of Blackville gave out
the following tonight:
'The Rev. C. M. Billings, who was
reported yesterday morning as hav-
ing deserted his invalid wife and help
less child at Blackvill, S. c., came to

A Scientific Opinion.

There is a certain cooking school
where every day in the week large
classes of girls convene for instruc-
ton in the gentle art of raising the
dough.
Last week a class of 80 rather i'm
practical girls, as most of them are,
was studying the doughnut scientifi-
cally.
One of the dullest pupils in the
class, who never could learn to boil
water without burning it, was rather
inattentive while the teacher was
lecturing on "Sinkers."
Thinking to catch her and admins
ter a rebuke on her inattention, the
teacher suddenly broke off and asked:
Miss Smith, what is the healthiest
part of the doughnut?"
Miss Smith Strengthened up, flushed
up, stood up and replied: "Why-
why, the hole I believe"

Hearing Before Commissioner Capers.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The ques-
ton of whether the present South
Carolina dispensary commission is
liable for the payment of the inter-
nal revenue tax as other liquor deal
ers will be argued before United
States Revenue Commissioner John
G. Capers on July l or 2.
Several months ago the dispensary
commission paid $4,521 revenue tax;
paid it to Collector Micah Jenkins at
the order of the acting commissioner
of internal revenue, Mr.. Williams.
But the dispensary commission paid
this amount under protest and now
that sure enough commissioner Of
internal revenue has been installed,
the dispensary commissioners have
appealed to him to overrule the de-
cision of the acting commissioner and
release the present winding up board,
not only from paying revenue tax
which has accrued but return to them
the 81 &,521 already paid. The dispen-
sary commission is liable under the
ruling now in force to pay $28, ,241.87
more and may have to pay also a
penalty of so per cent. Of this for not
having complied with the law.
Commissioner Capers today receiv-
ed a letter from W. F. Stevenson, at
torney for the dispensary commits
siOners. asking for a hearing on July
l or 2, and the hearing will take
place on one or both Of those dates,
Commissioner Capers having replied
to that effect.

Two Bennettsville Young Men Fight
Over Newspaper Story.

BENNErTsv1LLE, June 2O.-J. K.
Owens and Robert B. Ricaud, two
prominent young men of this place,
engaged in a fist fight on the public
square here yesterday as a result of
which both have several bruises about
the face and head, and Ricaud's ear
is painfully bitten.
The difficulty grew out of a COM
munication which Mr.. Owens had
published in the State giving an ac-
count of VIM. Eason being fined for
shooting on the street Saturday night,
in which the following statement oc-
Cured:
1T seems that young Eason, with
two chums, Robert Ricaud and Ken
meth Matheson, was having a good
time late Saturday night, and while
on the square fired his pistol, and
the ball hit the statue of the Con-
federate monument"
Messrs. Matheson and Ricaud OBJ
jected to having their names con-
nected with the incident, and asked
Mr.. Owens to make a correction. He
told them he would correct anyerror
that they would point out. Ricaud
told him that if he did not find them
himself and correct them he would
give him a thrashing. There was an
editorial in yesterdays State about
the incident, which further incensed
Ricaud and Matheson. They accost-
ed Mr.. Owens near his law office as
he was starting to dinner, and the
fight followed. Owens, Ricaud and
Matheson have been arrested and
will be tried before the mayor.

OFFER
TO MEET NOR
ENGLISHMAN WOULD SIGN
WITH BURNS
Tommy Willing to Pest $4,000 That
George Memsic Can Defeat Joe
Cans, and Places $1,000
Forfeit

A telegram received from Tommy
Burns by his manager, c. A. O'Conor,
last night tells or an offer made Burns
to meet Gunner Moir of England.
Following is the wire
Received cable to fight Moir. Seven
thousand dollars for my end and $1,000
expenses"
MIR. O'Conor said last night that 1t
was hardly probable Burns would take
on Moir before meeting Jack O'Brien,
but that so soon as he had disposed of
the Philadelphia Moir would be given
a chance.
Tommy and George Memsic (Jimmy
Burns) are making a big hit in the east.
Jimmy recently knocked out a 170-
pound man in tryout given at Detroit.
Burns wired here Friday to the effect
that he was endeavoring to match
Memsic with Cans and has placed a
$1,000 forfeit on deposit.
Tommy asks that Britt, Hyland,
Lewis or Cans be secured for a March
date and that a good sized purse be
offered should Cans agree. 1t is also
stipulated that the weight be 1873 pounds
ringside. Accordinging to Tommy,
Memsic is improving every day, and the
Canadian believes that he stands a
great chance of knocking out the
black.
Some man with punch like Jimmy s
will beat Cans and / believe he can do
it now" is an extract from a recent
letter from Burns.

MARKET HUNTERS ARE
EXPERIMENTING DUCKS
Under Present Law Wild Fowl Rapidly Disap.
pearing-Birds Never So Scarce Since Game
Protective Measure Enacted = Northern
Pothunters to Blame for Slaughter

Local sportsmen are beginning to be-
lieve that the inroads Of the market
hunters have finally made a substan-
tial impression upon the available sup
ply of wild fowl
Beyond any comparison the worst in
the memory of the Oldest hunters is the
present season. Never were ducks
scarcer than at the present time After
January 1 the clubs naturally expect
inferior shooting, but the majority of
club men m an ordinary year call twen-
ty-flve birds q poor shoot, so the exact
state of the marsh game It the present
writing becomes apparent when 1t Is
said that the best clubs have not
reached that number for high bag In
q month.
sportsmen are prone to judge of con-
dltions everywhere by what they them
selves are experiencing. The New
Yorker refuses to believe the stories
of ffty-bird limits killed regularly by
clubmen in another part of the country,
as was the case during the season of
1866 on the Southern California
marshes. "It Is just as natural for a
duck hunter to lie about the number of
ducks he kills as 1t Is for a fisherman
to lie about his big fish," they say.
Yet the Chico club killed 1857 ducks last
season. Inc same lndrSn mas IlOI ylelu-
ed one-half that number this winter,
and beyond any probability of doubt
will not when the guns are cleaned and
put away the night of February Is.
Market Hunters to Blame
Notwithstanding the local scarcity of
shooting material, 1t may be authorita-
lively stated that there are still plenty
of ducks left--enough to supply shoot
ing a number of years If properly taken
care of. The wild fowing on the coast
of Lincolnshire, in England, is still
good, although the birds have been
prosecuted there since firearms first
came into use for field purposes. In
telligent protection is the banner around
which the sportsmen are steadily rally
ing, and each year secs some state
come forward with a modern, potent
and scientific game law, designed to
give the greatest Nossible protection
with the least curtailment of sport.

FLYNN AND SULLY
ARE TRAINING
LIGHT HEAvIES AT WORK FOR
BATTLE
II Is Probable That Twin VIII Be
Made the Favorlte, as He Lost
Former Bout Because Of
Rough Work

Jack erwin" Sullivan and Jim Flynn
will again scintillate in the limelight
for q while, and their 20-round battle
scheduled to occur at Maud Junction
pavilion February 12, Is attracting con-
siderable attention.
In that Flynn received n decision
over Sullivan a short time ago 1t is
highly probable that supporters of the
fireman will back their man heavily
In the Forthcoming affair. 1t would
not be surprising in the least, how
ever, should Sullivan enter as fav-
orite, because those who reflected coolly
on the decision realize that Sullivan
lost only because of rather rough
tactics.
Flynn was given a great send off
after the battle, but 1t may be that
another Attell- Baker cord has been
struck According to vociferous out
break and aftertalk, following the first
Attell-Baker bout Baker was a badly
abused man and the referee held to be
a robber. When betting time arrived,
however, Attell was made hot fav-
orte and justified his hackers as a
formy odds on choice might do.
Jim Flynn worked well at the East
Side gymnasium yesterday, going eight
fast rounds with George Brown and
the negro whom Abdul Mahomet
slowed away recently.
Jack Twin" is not saying much but
an earnestness marks his training at
Arcadia which does not bode well for
Mr.. Flynn. Jack is not crying over
his former losses, but intimates that
there will be a surprise in order when
the Coloradoan again sets foot in the
ring.
Flynn may be seen at work today,
and those who desire to watch him in
action will be welcome at the East Side
quarters.
Molly" Mcdonald has the big fellow
in charge, and Jim should enter at his
best There is no bothersome weight
question and the men may prepare
without consideration of poundage.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

San Joaquin valley and the Lower Col
orado country below the international
line are proof that the birds have not
disappeared to the extent that so many
are maintaining. That they are getting
scarcer no one can deny.
In view of the fact that the present
is legislative year. the poor season
locally may prove blessing in dis
guise, for II may bring 10 the legisla-
tors the conviction that something to
check the maraudng market hunter
must be done at once, else there will be
no need Of legislation upon the subject
of water fowl.
Quail have increased since the bag
limit and no sale clauses went into ef-
feet, and 1t Is reasonable to expect the
same effect to be manifC1ted in the case
of the ducks. If nothing else, an ex-
ample sure to be emulated by other
states would be set, and then the de-
sired good could not fail
Egg Hunters Are Destructive
OF late years continual complaint has
come to hand regarding the robbing of
ducks nests in a aska by .albumen fac
tories, whose men are securing the
country for eggs.
Like most things that have to do with
this remote and much lied about region,
IL is difficult to obtain definite data
upon the effect o9 he albumen in
dustry upon the duck supply, but one
who processes to know declares that
an egg hunter calls 1t a poor day when
he does not secure fifty nests. The
lower marshy regions of the Mackenzie
river in Canada's northwest territory,
the overflows of the Yukon, the tundras
of the Cape Barrow country are a fa-
NOUS breeding ground for all kinds of
water fowl, and nests In favored To-
calities often lie so close together that
a keen eyed man can count a dozen of
them without moving a foot. The pos
sibilities of the egg business under such
circumstances immense; not only
does the damage come in the actual
number of nests destroyed, but the dis
turbance of the birds and the resulting
abandonment of nests amounts to at
least as much more The albumen bus
mess Is conducted so quietly ard so few
have any idea of it's extent that nothing
ebut concerted action by the sportsmen

SEEKS INFORMATION
ABOUT THE BANDTAlLS

One who has had some experience in
shooting bandtail pigeons in the noun
tains asks If the bird is any relation
to the English blue rock pigeon" aft
er which variety of inanimate targets
has been named in this country.
The birds are of the same size, al
most identical in coloring and differ
mainly in their habitat, which in the
English bird Is the cliff region that
fringes the coast. These birds are
much In demand for the Hurlingham
live bird shoots and are very scare
nowadays. The California bandtail
pigeon is arboreal in his habits, but pre-
sents the same rocket-like rapidity of
fight that characterizes his English
cousin.
