The consideration of the Indian appro-
priation bill and a speech by Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah on the currency bill
consumed nearly the entire time in the
Senate Friday. The Indian bill was pass
ed. The Senate at 5:12 p. m. adjourned
until Monday. The House rejected by 50
to 60 an amendment by Mr.. Foster (Illi-
nois) to the army bill appropriating ST.
100000 for joint maneuvers of the militia
organizations and the regular troops.
Without dissenting voice the House by
special rule restored the provisions to in
crease the pay of non-commissioned Off
GERS and men and to prohibit the private
employment of army musicians for pay,
both of which went out on points of order.
-
The Senate was not in session Satur-
day. A yelled charge was made by Mr..
Mann of Illinois in the House during the
consideration of the army appropriation
bill that some government otncial or en-
ploye had yielded to the influence of a
land syndicate with the view to selling to
the government tract near the city for
a target range An appropriation of
$3.50, 600 for 5000 acres was provided for,
which Mr. Mann denounced as far beyond
its value He at once aroused the ire of
Mr.. Young of Michigan, who. springing to
the defense of the committee on military
affairs, Indignantly denied that any mem
Der of it had been approached by any one
but the Secretary of War or his subordi-
Mates The provision was stricken out
on point of order. The army appropria-
ton bill was passed, the total amount
carried by it being $S4, 1871 ,566.

Addressed by Mr.. James Henry
Rice, Jr.i

Nice, Jr.
A very profitable meeting of the
Edgefeld Agricultural club was
held on Saturday last, the presi-
dent, Mr.. ] R Cantelou, presiding.
Mr.. James Henry Rice, .Jr., sec
! rotary Of the State Audubon So
ciety, was present by invitation
and addressed the meeting. The
purpose for which the society was
organized is the enforcement Of
The laws for the protection of
game and fish. Mr.. Rice is em-
ployed to go sup and down the
state prosecuting the violators of
the law and to create public SEN
tinient for the better enforcement
of game laws.
MI. Rice being thoroughly con-
versant With every phase of the
subject gave his hearers many
facts that we're indeed revelations
to them. The speaker showed
clearly the need for better pro-
lection of birds that destroy ln-
sects. AS an example, he related
the experience of the farmers
around Blackville, S. G. Last
year it was reported to him that
the hay crop in that vicinity was
almost totally destroyed by the
army worm. He looked into the
conditions and found that some
months previous to that time
$500 robins had been slaughtered
In and near Blackyille, and each
robin will deyour 200 army
worms in a day. Thus we see
what q valuable bird the robin
is as an insect destroyer.
Mr.. Rice cited a case in the
eastern part of the state wLere
considerable corn was damaged
ssby the bill bug, and an investiga-
tion revealed the fact that the
! Spartrldges, which feed largely
upon these bugs, had been almost
exterminated in that section.
Wherever partridges are slaugh-
tered in great numbers cut worms
s and bill bugs attack corn. Mr..
Rice stated that Marlboro county.
the Largest corn growing county
in the state, can not raise corr
afterithe lapse of ten years unless
the killing of partridges 10 stop
ped within the borders of the
county.
Mr.. Rice was particularly severe
upon the hunter who slaughters
birds for market, stating that not
one should go unpunished. N
Aiken last year ne fouEd 10000
partridges in cold storage. He stat
ed that when game is cold a pre-
mium is put upon its extermina-
stion.
Mr.. Rice also referred to the
wanton destruction of feb by
poisoning the water of creeks and
rivers with I've and green walnut
iuice,S saw dust and dynamite
being also used to kill fish. He
appealed to his hearers to orgap-
size and by concert of action pun
lab such fragrant violators of the
game and fish 1aws. n
This splendid address made .
profound impression upon all who
were present, end our people have
become interested and aroused az
never before. Their eyes have
been opened to the necessity OF
protecting game and fish.
Upon the conclusion of Mr..
Rice's address Gen. M c Butler
read carefully prepared and
very valuable paper upon thu sui
ject of good roads. We hoped to

Enters Upon Sixth Year.

Before announcing his text OF
Sunday morning, Dr.. c. E. Burts
tstated that he lad just entered
upon his sixth. year as pastor ol
the Edge6eld Baptist church, and
that some remarks upon how the
members of a congregation OF
church can aid the pastor would
not be inappropriate. DR.. Burts'
suggestions and gentle remou-
strauces, all uttered in the most
beautiful spirit, were indeed time
ly and Will lead to more loyal
support and service from the laity
of the church. During the past
five years DIR. G. E. Burts has
labored fearlessly, faithfully, con-
sclentious.Y, iu Edgefeld, and
God has richly rewarded his
labors. His field of service has
not been confined to our town.
The county, even to the remotest
corner, has felt and has been
benefited byS the quickening, up
lifting power of HE in fluence and
personality. May he be spared to
labor among Us many, very many,
years to come.
