"RACCOOR BILL" PASSED.
Despite Humorous Amendments House
Sent Bill 10 Third ReaGingt

The house had little fun with
Mr.. Woods bill to regulute the hunt
ing of opossums, raccoons and minks.
Mr.. Woods humorous speech on
the subject in which he sad news
papers had no right to criticise his
action, put the house in an uproar,
but Speaker Whaley managed to
quell the disorder despite the crowd
ed galleries, The bill says:
"Section l. That from and after
the passage of this act 1t shall lie
unlawful to take, kill or worry any
o'possum, raccoon, otter or mink
between the 18th day of April and
the 18th day of September in any year
by any means whatsoever.
"Sec. 2. That it shall be unlaw-
ful to catch, take, kill or worry amy
of the animals mentioned in this
act at any time by any means what
soever, except with logs or guns.
"Sec. 3. The violation Of this act
shall be misdemeanor punishable
by 6ne of not exceeding 200 or
imprisonment not exceeding 30
days"
One member wanted to amend by
inserting "Brer Fox and Brer Rab-
bit" and by notifying Joel Chand-
Ter Harris Of the passage of the bill.
Mr. Dixon said talpoles and bnil-
frogs should be exempted also. Mr.
Kershaw begged the house to take
the bill seriously and Oh his motion
it was ordered to a third reading
although it had an unfavorable re-
port-THe State.
Whether or not DR. Woods Justly
celebrated Raccoon bill becames law
We are not at present informed as
we have not had time to peruse care
fully the acts rassed. We are inclinea
to think however that the Raccoon

REFUSED TO STRIKE.
IN Incident Of the Shorter Hour Move.

During a period when the walters
and chambermaids were forcibly
out of the Warsaw hotels and res
taurants on strike many Of the
servants in private houses fatty re-
fused to leave their work, and those
who did go into the streets soon re-
turned.
A servant in the employ Of one
old nobleman, who does not exact
much work from his household, re-
ceived the men who had come to
persuade him to join them, reclin-
ing on a sofa.
"What do you gentlemen want?
he asked languidly when the four
delegates were ushered into his
presence by the scared kitchen
maid.
"You must come into the
streets"
"But what for?"
''To join the general strike for a
uniform eight hour day."
The servant sprang from his sofa.
"How dare you even suggest such
thing?" he demanded Indignantly.
81 never heard of anything like it
in my life! Eight hours, indeed
Why, you won't find self respect

looked upon all domestic servants
as white slaves.

very interesting just now. ] can
just see myself walking about the
muddy streets to get eight hours

for that, gentlemen"

urged.

Editor COUNTY RECORD:
In your issue cf February IA,
appears this editorial squib;
"Kingstree should be more than
ever proud of the noble editice
that stands a monument to her
educational enterprise. 1t is
now paid for" There is nothing
that your enterprising paper
could print that should give
more joy than the announce
ment that your graded school
building has been paid for. Per.
haps you do not know that at
our school meeting in Florence
when opposition appeared to
our erecting a school building
that would cost about $45, 900,
the Kingstree school building
was argued by myself and had
effect, when I told them that
there was Kingstree with per
haps one-fourth of the taxable
property that Florence had, will
ling to put from ten to fifteen
thousand in a school building, {,
and yet We hesitated on enlarg-
ing our building. 1t had its
effect, and we are now erecting
our building, but $4,000 in
Florence, considering the value
of property, is not equal to the
sum of fifteen thousand dollars
as expended by Kingstree. And
it is paid for, what a sweet
word. 1t shows a people up to
the limit of progress. For four
years / was a member OF the
State Board of Education and
from the information gained
there, say to any community,
let your streets if necessary
grow up in weeds, let your
streets be without lights, let
your town be without police
protection, but never neglect
your schools. Bring them to
the highest state of perfection.
Perhaps an education is all you
have to leave your child. Let
him have it. 1t may be more to
him than money. Without it he
is a cork upon the stream, driv-
en- any way that the winds OF
gain and deception may wait
him. Kingstree is to be con-
graduated, and the men and
women that have engineered
this school building are entitled
to the, name OF benefactors.
