bulletins that the partridge is unex-
celled as weed destroyer and this is
not to be disregarded in summing up
the birds value to the practical far
mer.
Like all birds of that family, they
are fond of grasshoppers and feed on
them freely. Grasshoppers are among
the most destructive OF field insects.
When they are sufficiently numerous
they sweep the fields bare. For years
in kansas and Nebraska they ate up
grass, grain and every green thing.
It was found that turkeys ate them
and farmers began raising turkeys on
a large scale. Today Kansas is the
largest shipper Of turkeys in the world
and the difficulty is to get enough
grasshoppers for the turkeys to feed
on. =,
What the turkey did in Kansas and
Nebraska, the partridge does in South
Caroliua, where, until recently, they
were everywhere numerous. With
the influx of visitors from the north
and elsewhere each winter and the
serving of game at restaurants and
hotels, the partridge has been sadly
reduced and has disappe red entirely
from some sections Of the state.
The intelligent farmer OF today call
not afford to disregard modern dis
coveries, and this one in particular.
The partridge deserves protection.
The weekly newspapers OF the state

can do great work for the people by
urging on farmers to back the Werk
of the Audubon society of South Car
olina in teaching the intelligent value
of bird life,
Without the work of the birds hu-
man life would not be possible in the
world, for millions of insects would
eat up every blade of grass, every
stalk of grain, every green leaf. Birds
are one of the agencies with which a
beneficient Providence keeps the
world in order, and among birds none
is more valuable to the farmer than
the partridge; none better earns his
right to wise care and protection.

No Bird Worth So Much 70 South
Carolina Farmers.

Few would dispute the primacy of
the partridge as game bird. View
ed in any aspect he is unrivalled and
alone. This bird may be valued for
some one quality: that for another:
but the partridge has many qualities
that appeal to the true Sportsman
he lies we'll to the dog: flies well for
the marksman, and dies as game
should, without q sound or murmur.
His place as game bird Ia established
for all time. Remember, too, bis,
name is partridge, not quail: The
northern people have fallen into the
bad habit of calling the ruffed grouse
partridge Gust as well call the wild
turkey q partridge) and they have
misled many southern people. Our
bird is the partridge.
But valuable as the partridge is as
game bird, he is far more valuable
as an insectivorous bird. He is
worth ten times as much to the far
ner living as he is dead. The par
fridge feeds almost entirely on insects
In the spring and summer. The In
sects he feeds on are among the most
dangerous enemies to growing crops.
They consist OF the eutworm, the lar
va of the owlet moths, the grass
hopper and the we'll know and dread
ed billbug. Most farmers know the
billbug, but as some may not 1t is we'll
, to describe him and what he does.
The billbug burrows into the corn
stalk, lays his eggs and departs. The
worm that Is hatched eats away the
pith of the stalk until it falls over
and dies: he then goes down into the
mass of roots, forms himself into 9
= chrysalis and waits the next corn
-, planting, when as full q grown billbue
he can scatter destruction among the
e newly planted corn. -,
Sometimes field of forty to fifty
: acres of corn is entirely destroyed by
the billbug's progency and often de
stroyed when it Is too late to replanI
. to advantage, differing ip this respect
from the cutworm, whose operations
are confiDed to the young corn, jus
after sprouting.
The partridge seems to regard the
billbug as q peculiar delicacy and al
the bird is q wide ranger and a Wig
orous scratcher he can and does gel
after the bugs-in fact wiping then
out entirely If let alone. Any farmeI
that permits a whole covey of part
ridges to be destroyed is sacrificing q
host of his best friends. This does
not mean that partridges are not to bt
shot at ALL for it does no material
damage to kill a reasonable number
out of each covey, say five or si1
birds.
Nothing wages such RELENTLESS wa
t on the billbug as the partridge.

News and Courier.

Green wood, July 90 Reports reaching here
late this afternoon tell OF what might have
resulted in serious trouble to-day at Ninety
six, in this county. An election was held at
Ninety-Six to-day on the question OF voting
twelve thousand dollars In bonds TO build q
new graded school building. There was con.
siderable feeling manifested. and the bonds
were voted by small majority. After the
election was over few citizens In favor of
the bond issue got into an argument with Joe
W. Tolbert. who, It seems, bad opposed the
while a row began. Tolbert was knocked
down and given several icks. Later a COM
mittee walled on him and ordered him 10
leave town on the fret train.
Tolbert is the one who figured in the Phoe-
nix riot several years ago. He has been liv.
lng at Ninety.Six for the past year. 1t was
report ed here this afternoon that he had got
ten several negroes to vote against the bond
issue. and this aroused the indignation OF
some OF the white citizens. Sheriff MCMILLAN

QUERY FROM SECRETARY
REGARDING OUR HARBOR

In the matter of information required,
and it certainly looks as if they were
trying to plan some definite details for
a number of vessels, but how many L
can't yet say. In other words, as you
can see for yourself, this dispatch does
not indicate whether the whole fleet
is coming or only a part of them"
The Admiral did not care to make
public the gist of his message in an
swer to the dispatch, for, of course,
that would be contrary to government
rules in regard to such matters.
There has been nothing said thus far
as to whether the fleet will go to Puget
Sound after the visit to San Francisco
is finished, but it's a normal certainty
that the inha bitants of the Northwest
will do their best with the Washington
authorities to secure their share OF
the famous cruise, and, if they succeed
in getting the whole contingent up
there, it may delay the arrival here
until the latter part of the summer
instead of the middle of July.
Under the rules of the navy each bat
tleship or cruiser must be docl1ed at
least once a year, and this operation
alone may result in the sending of at
least a part of the ships to the Bre-
merton drydock to be cleaned.

Another coal pile fire was discover
ed yesterday. this time in one of the
Naval coal piles. Tt is in the coal pile
on the lot on Richards street oppG site
the Sailors Home, between Queen and
Halekauwila streets.
The fire is right in the center of the
pile. and large amount of coal will
have to be moved in order to get at it.
There are seven or eight thousand tons
f coal in all in the pile. Fortunately
there is a vacant lot adjoining this
where the coal which will have to be
moved can be placed and a large force
of men will be put to work this morn
ing.
The fire in the Inter-TsIand com

WIRELESS ONLY
IN It's INFANCY
Expert IsbeII and His Record
Flash From Point
Iona.

Il wouldn't care to say where think
the wonders of wireless telegraphy will
cease said A. A. Isbell the wireless
expert, who is now here experimenting
with the local system with view to
it's wider scope. Wireless telegraphy
is merely in its infancy
Mr.. Isben is morally certain that he
caught fragments of messages from the
Point Iona station at the BARRIERS
Point station Friday night. If he did,
this is a record of 230O miles, which
surpasses anything yet achieved by
the local system.
Mr.. Isbell was at the station Fri
day night listening for a message
from the Thomas, in accordance with
his agreement with the wireless oper-
ator of the transport. The Thomas
was then between 1900 and 1000 miles
away. No message, however, was re-
ceived. But while he was waiting he
caught the spark of the Point Iona
station, the peculiar quality which diff
ferentiates that station from all others
to the acute ear trained to the wire
less. What the message was could not
be made out. but Mr. IsbelI feels GER
tain that what he caught came from
Point Iona station. He also caught
message from the S. S. Enterprise, 700
miles distant at sea,
Speaking of the progress of wireless,
MI Isbell said that practically every
steamship plying the Atlantic was now
equipped with wireless appliances, and
that the steamships of the Pacific soon
would be. A number of systems were
in use, all the same in principle, but
appliances. In the North Pacific the
Marconi system, by reason of its long
time contracts with the British Ad-
miralty. Lloyd's, and some of the larger
steamship companies. had for the pres
ent tied up that part of the Atlantic
to the Marconi company, which in its
contracts prohibited the users of its
appliances from handling messages
from any other system. The United
States Navy, however. refused to enter
into contracts with Marconi. and had
a system of its own, superior to Mar
coni's in many respects. In the south
Atlantic the De Forest system had
made great advances.
while there are not many stations
as vet along the South American coast,
it would be a great thing if every ves-
