preached that of a battle-in other
words, regular volley firing. 1t is a la
mentable fact that the citizens of this
section, while otherwise law-abiding,
are very woefully derelict when 1t
comes to the question of observing the
game laws. Many good men, large
landholders generally, think that so
far as general hunting Is concerned
they are not free to shoot birds in the
open. but are at perfect liberty to kill
them on their own land. Warden Wy
lie, who Is most Jealous in the dis
charge of his duty, says that he Is
ready and willing to prosecute any one
whom he knows to be or can obtain
evidence against as guilty Of any in
fraction Of the law. The trouble, he
says, is that A comes to him and says:
"B has been shooting birds right along
on my place, but don't use my name.
There Is the whole trouble. Nobody
wishes to testify against his neighbor.
This is the spirit which Is at the root
Of all Of South Carolina's disregard of
law Your correspondent does not set
himself up as any better than the 9TH
ers and realizes that he would do just
the same, but he does realize that
there Is the rub" and that the whole
principle is wrong.

Columbia special of Thursday to
Charlotte Observer: The authorities of
Winthrop college, where 500 girls from
all parts Of the state are at school, are
much worried over an outbreak of ty-
phoid fever, the communicating source
of which they have after several days
of painstaking investigation been un-
able to locate. There are three we'll
advanced cases in the college hospital
with an extra trained nurse on duty
and seven other suspected cases
which have not yet been finally dag
nOsed as typhoid. In addition to these
one patient went home before the dis
ease was too far advanced on her to
prevent travel. State Health officer
Dr.. c. Fred Williams of Columbia, is
on hand making a thorough investi-
cation with the local health board and
the local members Of the board of
trustees, and will not leave until he
gets satisfying results. Not only is
all the food supply being scientifically
looked into but every servant that
comes on the premises Is being inves-
| tigated Sample water from every
spigot on the premises in addition to
the principal source Of drinking water
and the water supply at the college
dairy were sent on to Charleston to-
day for analysis. Even the boxes OF
food. sent to girls from home are being
investigated. sample Of the main
drinking water was sent on to Balti-
more some days ago, and the author
tiles there have just telegraphed that
il is pure and contains positively no
traces of infection of any kind. There
is no typhoid, it Is said, in the city OF
Rock Hill. and 1t probable that the col
lege will get it's water from the city
water works until the trouble Is over
If any reason Is found for suspecting
the present supply. A perplexing feat
ure Of the situation Is that the cases
IN hand represent all the different dor
mitories and departments Of the COL
rege and from different rooms in these
1Ormitories. So far the authorities
have not been able to uncover sus-
>icieus circumstance that leads to a
discovery of the cause. The college
has been open now two months and II
IS thought unlikely that any of the
rases started before the patients left
| home. President Johnson has been
absent several weeks on his European
trip. and is to remain till Christmas
AS soon as more definite information
can be obtained, probably in a day OF
90, a statement will be given ont from
the college for publication fully and
frankly setting forth the true facts
This Is the first trouble Of the KIND
Winthrop has ever had.
