We send to Lawyers for advice,
And to Bankers for a loan,
To friends to help Us with "the price"
When all our cash is gooe
And wien at last comes "Grim Old Death,s
The last, but not the least
When we are about to lose our breath,
Well be sending for-The Priest.
Yours truly, Dill Pickles, Sarles. N. OAK.

WEIRD LETTER
TO GOVERNOR
PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN WRITES
INCOHERENT LETTER OF AP-
PEAL TO EXECUTIVE.

The mail from the Coast which
comes to Governor Frear is often full
of strange missives. One of these
which came by the Lurline yesterday is
evidently from a demented woman who
appeals to the Governor of the Sand
witch Islands, as follows:
October Is, 1908.
Our authorities are carrying on UNI
lawful business and disturbing me with
it. They have robbed and ruined me,
my property, health and life. Indeed
it is the boldest robbery and murGer

settled. They have busted themselves
to hunt up my life. For eighteen
years they have kept up their carousal

knew it. l have been trying ever

Tacoma Chamber of Commerce writes:
Relative to proposition of organizing
an excursion to the islands, | will lay
the matter before the Board of Trus-
tees at their first meeting early next
week. It is possible that during the
winter season we will be able to ar
range for a trip. This proposition
came up, at your request, last year
but on account of the general finan-
cial conditions prevailing throughout
the country at that time, it was aban-
doned. We are all more hopeful for
the future and | know that a large
number of our people here are inter-
ested in the trip and we will make an
effort to organize a party. I will take
the matter up with the Chambers Of
Commerce of Seattle, Portland and the
other cities of the Northwest and will
advise the result"
Mr.. L. G. Monroe, Secretary of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce writes:
81 believe that an excursion to Homo
lulu from Spokane can be pulled OF
during the coming winter providing a
sufficiently low rate can be secured. l
took 226 people to Southern California
last February and at that time took
occasion to suggest trip to Honolulu.
The plan met with a great deal Of
favor and am confident that, If
satisfactory rates can be arranged, a
successful excursion can be run, at
least, am willing to undertake It,"
We have been trying to pull off an
excursion from the Sound country for
two years now and even If our present
efforts fail, shall keep on trying. We
are securing good advertising, making
friends and will eventually win.
Respectfully submitted,
H. P. WOOD,
Secretary.

A REPUBLICAN FORECAST.

NEW YORK, October 3O.-The Re-

will contain 227 Republicans and 1b4
Democrats.
The Batesburg advocate. [volume] (Batesburg, S.C.) 1901-1911, 1908-11-13

cral use throughout this and other
countries, is the best way to raise
revenue for the protection of birds,
game and fish: the best way to give
proper protection to property; the
best way to ensure the perpetuity Of
the bird, fish and game supply Of
the State for the use OF its citizens,
and so recommends to the General
Assembly.
A little reflection will show that
I the Society seeks nothing for itself.
The money collected does not go to
the Audubon Society and never can.
The Society is supported by its
members, and intends to spend ev-
cry dollar it can collect from these
members in educating the people 10
the value Of bird life to the world.
Having a serious pub luty and
Responsibility laid on it by the Gen
eral Assembly. it has sought to mea-
Isure Up TO Doth duty and response
6ility. The gainer viii be the State,
and therefore, all its people.
The man who IS killing the game
and catching the fish ought to be
required TO contribute something to
wards preserving these things, and
the amour required IS very small
80 small that any man can afford
the luxury Of hunting and fishing
can afford to ,pay it.
In order that such work Of en-
forcing the laws might be carried on
without embarrassment to the So
ciety, at its annual meeting last week
the Audubon Society recommended
the appointment OF a Game and
Fish Commissioner. who shall have
charge Of enforcing the laws. his
pay to come from the Game Pro
lection Fund, and DC no tax ON the
State Treasury.
The Society recommended that
| the Commissioner be nominated by
the Audubon Society and appoint
ed by the Governor, by and with
the advice and consent Of the Sen
ate thus furnishing every needed
check and keeping the work a5so-
lutely divorced from politics.
Every citizen Of the State should
give this matter his serious atten-
ton and see that it is acted on by
his Representatives in the General
Assembly.
The Audubon Society, without
money and with limited powers,
and with mixed and confusing laws
to handle has shown what can be
The Batesburg advocate. [volume] (Batesburg, S.C.) 1901-1911, 1908-11-13

1t almost goes without saying that
if birds, game and fish are worth
preserving, then they must be intelli-
gently looked after, and to do this
entails expense. How shall this eX-
pense be met? The question has
been agitated for a long time, and
the net result is that all States and
countries that are preserving game
have adopted the license system.
None has ever tried it and abandon
ed it. This universal experience
ought to weigh nightly in determin-
ing States policy.
Fortunately for South Carolina
game protection is undertaken at a
time when the State has the benefit
OF observing the operation of this
license system, as it has operated in
other States and can profit by their
experience with abundant opportun-
ity for improving on their systems.
There is no need OF long and costly
experiment.
Outside of what has been done at
the North and in the West, many
Southern States have adopted the
plan Of putting license On hunters.
Among these are Florida, Alabama,

ages and the answer is in the womb
Of time.
In old times the king, advised by
the educated priest, preserved his
game, his fish and his forests. He
had these things with their resulting
benefits in great abundance. Never
once did royalty let go any of these
valued and precious prerogatives
until royalty ceased to have juris-
diction.
Now the people have succeeded
in this country, at least, to all the
privileges and prerogatives Of royal
ty. They have, and may continue
TO have forever, all that made king

the worlds greatest continent are
theirs, TO have and to hold" AS
they conserve these things use
them wisely and not wastetully so
may they continue to possess and
enjoy them. But if they continue
to waste these royal possessions,
then the heritage Of the fathers will
shortly cease to exist and too late
the people will find that royal pre-
negatives may be possessed for any
length Of time only by wise fore
fight and prudent use. Democracy
is, therefore on trial. 1t is the over
shadowing issue before every party,
the final question in every State.

Society that men in charge Of the
States affairs, having devolved on
them the solemn responsibility Of
caring for the States welfare and of
conserving its resources, may dis
charge that respor sibility like men
The clamor of the idle, the needless
and the vicious, should not be per
mitted to obscuye this fact.
There is not an argument that has
ever been framed or that can be
framed to justify the waste of re
