SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What is Causing the Increase @
Catarrh in Orangeburg?

Catarrhal troubles are increasing,
not only in Orangeburg but all over
the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease and, to
cure it, germ life in the nose, throat
and lungs must be destroyed, and
this can be done only by breathing
Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablet or liquid mixtures whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the hor-
rors of catarrh.
Rreathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every out
fit, it's healing balsams penetrate the
most remote air cells, destroying
the catarrhal germs so that quick
recovery follows. The complete out
fit costs but $1.00, and DR.. j. G.
Wannamaker Mfg. Co., agrees to re-
fund the money should Hyomei fail
to do all that is claimed for it.

THE AUDUBON SOCIETY.
A Full Statement of That Society to
Date.

PRESIDENT Is. r. ldy iOI udo HleiiSo
me a statement of the amount re-
ceived by the Audubon Society or
South Carolina, since the 18th day
of last December.
It is such a remarkable one. that
one could wish to preserve 1t as a
memorial of an achievement to be
handed down to future generations.
HAS any State anything to compare
with it, the good accomplished for
the amount of money handled?
Let the report speak for itself.
Here it is:
Received from Game Pro-
lection Fund. =. IS l,60T.23
Received from membership
dues. l'ioo'oo
Cash on hand at last report 52.l7
Total Receipts. IS 2,S17.9O
Cash on hand with Treasur-
er. 1873
Amount Expended to dates 2,S12.91
Less than $4,000 for the pay of
wardens, lawyers, printing the laws
of the State, secretary's salary and
travelling expenses, and all the other
things connected with enforcing the
bird, game and fish laws of State.
The State of Alabama pays her
game and fish commissioner $4,000
a year and all expenses, The State of
Alabama can not show as many con-
victicns as can the State of South
Carolina; it can not begin to show
the amountof educational work done
everywhere among the people, which
is at last the true test of effective
ness, for this alone assures the per-
manency Of the work.
Now it has been urged in langu-
age as strong as it could be made
that the Audubon Society needs help
and needs it at this hour. There
will be no time in the future when
so much good can be done by so
little expenditure The ground gain
ed ought to be maintained at all
costs and it can he with reasonable
amount of help.
There remain five months before
the legislature meets, during Whlch
time the game season opens and the
time is most critical for work. With
s2,5OO in hand the society can main
tain the status and go into another
year with the situation we'll in hand.
If sentiment be cast to the winds,
Just an ordinary common sense cal
culation will show that it is worth
many times that amount to check
violations for the coming season.
Think how many thousands of young
partridges can be saved during the
months of September and October
when the market-hunter is most
active
Will the sportsmen of the State
permit this? Have they not enough
regard for the cause Of saving the
birds to contribute each his quota?
When it is figured down 1t Will be
seen that each sportsman is asked
merely to give $50 shells to the
cause-about what he would shoot
away IN 1re We X.
There has not been violation re-
ported in South Carolina that the
Audubon Society has failed to handle,
no matter where it was, no mater
what it cost to handle it. This has
been done by the practice Of rigid
economy all along the line. There
ought to be five hundred men in the
whole State of South Carolina, with
it's one hundred and thirty thousano
white voters who would contribute
six dollars each to such a cause.
That would be only dozen 10 a
county.
