Although the temper of Bulgarians,
Turks and Servians is just now ripe
for war, and preparations have been
going forward, there seems just now
to be something that has interposed
to call a halt. 1t may be that they
have found difficulty in arranging a
war loan. 1t costs money and a lot
of it to carry on a war nowadays.

MUST HAVE HUNTING
LICENSE
An Important Announcement From
the Audubon Society.

An important Announcement from
the Audubon Society.
The News and Courier has received
the following:
The Legislature of South Carolina
provided for license for nonresident
hunters many years ago. This license
was fixed at $25, but was seldom, if
ever, collected. The amount was re-
duced at the session of 1907 to $40,
with Is cents fee to the clerks of the
courts for issuing said licenses. Prac-
tically every State in the Union has
a nonresident license, and some Of
them exact license of $50. In 9th
ers the license is good for only one
county and has to be renewed in each
county tho hunter enters.
The Audubon Society, of South Car
olina, has labored under many diff
culties in trying to collect this non
resident license. The old law per-
mitted a guest to hunt without paying
this license, and some are not aware
of the change. If mans guest were
allowed to hunt without license then
there would be an end of license, for
each and every incomer would be q
guest Of somebody. This may in
some individual cases work hardship,
but it is perhaps impossible to point
to regulation Of any kind that would
not work hardship on somebody.
The States right to exact this
license has been passed on by the
United States Supreme Court and set
tied for all time. The money COL
lected from nonresident licenses goes
into the hands of the State Treasurer,
where it is placed to the credit of the
game protection fund.-" and is drawn
ont and used for enforcing the game
laws. All good citizens should insist
on visitors paying this license and
report them when they fail to pay it.
Between 5000 and 1000 men come
into South Carolina annually to hunt,
but this year the merest fraction of
them will pay license. The Audubon
Society has pursued the policy this
year of not prosecuting man who
hunted without license provided he
paid the license on demand. Here
after all parties found hunting with
out license will be indicted and fined
for each day they hunt without
license.
There are sufficient nonresident
licenses to support a vigorous enforce
ment of the game laws if these licens-
es are collected. In the present in
stance the weakness of the Society
has been presumed on, and it's conf
dence has been generally abused.
The natural and inevitable pre-
sumption for the future will be that
the man who hunts without license il
trying to evade the payment.
