Preserving Our Game.

Mr.. James Henry Rice, State agent
for the Audubon Society, truly says
that unless the people of this section
have a care of the game that re-
mains in their forests, it will be
but a few years before South Caro-
lima is practically without any OF
the wild things that are delight
to the sportsman and a never fail
ing interest to the lover of nature.
The low country is now about the
only part Of the State in which there
is game to amount to anything, but
unless it be protected better than
is now being, it will not long roam
our woods.
