RIVAL HUNTING CLUBS.

Members Trying out Tneir Differ
ences in the Courts.
Another chapter in the rival hunt
ing clubs Of Hanover township was
written last week when Henry v.
Walker secured a verdict Of S75 against
Game Warden Percy fl. Johnson for
injuries in arresting him on a charge Of
violating the game laws. The Troy
Meadows Fish and Game Club some
years ago bought tract of land near
Hanover Neck and made contracts
with other land owners, Walker being
one of them, for the hunting rights.
1t is claimed that the farmers and
their families were to have the right
to hunt on their own premises, but
this the club later denied, except as
to the actual holder of the land.
Walker was a member of the club, but
became dissatisfied Then r.. d. Foote
purchased a tract for hunting pur-
poses and while hunting as he sup
posed on his tract under authority of
the owner, Mr.. Walker says that john
son pounced upon him, seized him by
the neck and maltreated him in tax
ing him before justice, while he Of
fered no resistance. The suit is a re-
suit. Another result of the general
affair was the organization of the
Hanover Neck Fish and Game Club
composed of residents largely while
most of the members of the other club
came from the cities. The new club
has also secured contracts and is post
ing land for the benefit of its mem
berS.

somETHrNa THAT Ts NEEDED.

It is a great pity that the water melon crop of the country cannot be entirely utilized. We have no means of knowing what the annual crop amounts to, but 1t Is immense. When the first ones come in they are put to good use, but as the season ad- .vances they are a drug and almost a nuisance. Many thousands are shipped North by those who make it . business, but that course is not open to the great body of farmers and truck growers throughout the South. The rinds make excellent preserves, but this disposition of the crop takes an infinitesimally small portion of the whole. After the first few weeks of their appearance they are left to rot in the fields, or they are hauled to the towns and cities where the demand for them almost entirely ceases as the season advances and they lie and decay until they must be carried to the trash heap. Even the colored people. who dote on the fruit, become tired of it and can eat only a tithe of the num- bers which are to be seen on every hand.
 We have seen good syrup made from the juice of the watermelon. but either the process is not practicable on an extensive scale or the result does not justify the trouble. At any rate the melons are not utilized in the syrup industry and so far as we are aware no plan has yet been devised by which the millions that now go to waste each season can be made a source of profit. It seems to be one farm and garden crop that cannot be carried over for future use. It must be put to use while it is fresh or there is an end of it. In this age of almost unlimited discovery and adaptation it seems something of reflection on our ge- nius and knowledge to know that a crop so easily raised cannot be saved.

Serious Strike Situation Dealt With
 Without Any Nonsense. Minneapolis Tribune.
 The strike on the iron range is prac- tically over. It has been settled in a decent and orderly manner. The prop erty of the company and the rights of the workingmen have been protected by law. Disorderly proceedings that lead to rioting have been suppressed. Or derly assemblage and free discussion have been safeRuarded
 No mobs have terrorized men who want to work. The civil law has ruled supreme, with it's last resort in the background. No troops have been call ed out. though they have been held ready at a momeDt's notice for any real need Under equal protection of just authority, the disputes incident to the strike have been decided by peaceable discussion.
 This is the Minnesota way, which Is not the same as the Colorado way. No praise would be too high for Governor Johnson and the others in position to hold the scales level between excited labor and alarmed capital But We think he craves no higher merit than that of doing his simple duty as the chief executive of the will of a just, peaceable, and law-abiding community He has understood and obeyed the spir- 1t of his people

Louis P. BrOdeur.

Louis Philippe Brodeur. one O. the most aggressive and popular of Cana dians in public life today, was born August 2l, 1862, in the province of Quebec. The younger Brodeur receiv- ed his education at the College of St. Hyacinth and Laval University. After his graduation from the latter insti- tuition he was called to the bar in 1884. He entered public life as a member of the House of Commons in 1891. In 1S96 he became deputy Speaker of the House, serving in that capacity until 1900, when he became Speaker. In 1904 he was made Minister of Inland Revenue in the Dominion Government and later became Minister of Marine and Fisheries. At his first session as q Minister MT. Brodeur introduced a bill bacco trust, and its enactment into law successfully prevented the American combine from gaining control of the Canadian field.

draw no distinction between the two. Each citizen should look upon each as his court. The Juries in the Federal Court are composed of citizens of the State, and the Judges are likewise cit- isens of the State. The same applies to the State Courts.
 In the very beginning>of civilization. 1t became apparent that men would the only way of settling the matter was by leaving it to the parties in dispute that the strong would override the weak. regardless of a question of right and wrong, and hence courts became a necessity.

 A Case for the Courts.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 I notice that former Attorney Gem eral Fitts holds that the case of Fttts, Attorney General. versus McGehee and others, decided by the United States Supreme Court. settles the present com tentions by the railroads against the railroads. I am hot lawyer but l think that MT. Fitts fails. to note the fact that in the cases noweat Issue the state law has been declared unconsti- tutional by a court whose Jurisdiction has not been attacked, and that pro- ceedings under that law are void until an adverse decision to Judge Joness IS given by a higher court. In the case of Fitts ve. McGehee. 1t does not ap- pear from anything published by those holding 1t as a conclusive precedent that the law under which he acted had heen declared null and void. Perhaps If this had, been done by the United States Judge before whom that case was originally carried a different opin- ion might have been rendered by the United States Supreme Court. At any rate there is too much at stake for passion and prejudice to rule. An agreed state of facts ought to be pre-. pared and the whole matter rest until the proper court decides.

Too Much Tear Down Disposition.

Lafayette. Ala. Aug. 1s. 1907.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 At the risk of having an extra ses- sion of the Legislature convened. should like to state that 1t seems strange to me that it never occurred to the learned members of that assem- bly, at its recent meeting, to enact laws to lower the price of sugar and corn. and to raise the price of cotton. I suppose the greater part or their val uable time was consumed in planning a way to compel the railroads to re- duce their passenger fares and freight rates The railroads are indispensable to the growth and development of the country. and laws regulating their rates should be just, and they should not be handicapped in any way. II IS plain to any business man that if dry goods company or a railroad com- pany doesn't make profit in tts busi- ness that failure will soon take place; It is probable that with the increased price of labor and materials, that the railroad companies could not reduce their passenger fares and freight rates and at the same time improve their roads or even keep them in a safe con-s dition for passengers. read some where, I don't remember where, that the Pennsylvania Railroad has 4,o0O stockholders. some of whom are wia- ows and orphans, who took stock in the company with the little insurance money left to them by the strong arm of one who had gone, and could no longer provide Tor them. 1T sonle per sons get a slight bruise they bring suit against the railroad for thousands Of dollars. with the erroneous idea, prob ably, that the railroad companies have plenty of money" I was on a train which was wrecked near Montgomery a few years ago. and the foreman of that section of the road came to the wreck, and 1t was pitiful to look at him--his trousers needed patching so badly. This man who worked from daylight until dark six days in the week should have been better remun- erated for his hard labor. So far as l know the railroad company could not afford to pay him better wages. fear that recent laws in regard to the rail roads contain too much of the social !stic principles of the distinguished MT.
