The Huntino Season,-Already

The Hunting Season.-Already tht
hunters are looking around for dogs
and rubbing up their guns. Accord
ing to the law, any person hunting
fishing or roaming over the lands OF
another without permission is g
trespasser. Ignorance Is no excuse
The plea only aggravates the offense
If farmers want birds killed, they will
no doubt invite some of their cunning
friends to do 1t when the season opens
Last year a fancy hunter at Gaffney
asked tenant permission to shoot on
his farm. He replied that he was
there to work the land and not to have
birds killed, but that he would ask
the landlord. He instructed the ten
ant to ask him if he had lost any
them on his land, to go out and hunt
them. The man had never lost any
and did not hunt for them.
So much for the law. Now a word
to hunters, and especially young, mex
perienced one:
Do not hunt on lands of others
without permission. Never carry q
loaded gun while riding in a buggy OF
other vehicle. When the days hunt
ing is over, take out the cartridges. II
birds are abundant, do not kill them
all at once. There was a good citizen
of another county that was fond OF
hunting. He estimated the number OF
birds actually needed by the family
for their dinner. When he bagged
that number not another one would
he shoot, even if one attempted to bite
him. If you get permission to hunt
on lands Of another turn over a fail
portion Of the game to the owner OF
the land. Common politeness and
good breeding demand that courtesy
If you are almost hog, kill all you
can and sneak off without saying a
word to any of the family. If a far
mer notifies you that he wishes nc
shooting on his premises. do not
sass him, but ask his pardon. act
the gentleman and get off in such q
good humor that you will have his
respect Journal.

yacht, JEANNE? Or perhaps lie has not
wanted to wait for his own boat and
has gone aboard Peary's ship. To Mr..
Whitney DR.. Cook gave his instru-
ments and his observations, as he
thought those precious things were
safer there than on the long sledge
trip in the spring across Melville bay,
but all his notebooks and greasy and
soiled record books which have been
so closely written upon he kept and
carried with him. To me, who un-
derstands only a very little astrono-
my, the records written down so close
ly and in all directions, were very
hard to read, but what Is the record
to us? The two men, Peary and Cook,
their character, their conduct, that Is
what interests us, and every little item
throwing a sidelight upon their ma
ture is valuable"

LIZ we knew just a little more about
II. we would like to comment at some
length about the incident in Union
when Judge Devore refused to receive
a mo bill" against a prominent citizen
over there. It is rather unusual for
Judges to have anything to say as to
the action of grand juries: but judge
of a high sense Of duty and RESPONSE
bility will not fail to do so, when ne
thinks the circumstances warrant 1t. 1t
is evident that Judge Devore thought
the circumstances warranted him IN
doing as he did, and we have no doubt
about the matter. OF course, If the
mo bill" had been allowed to stand
that would have been the end or the
matter, for 1t is hardly probable that
an effort would have been made to
bring the matter to the attention OF
another grand jury. AS to whether
there is anything behind the
grand jury's action, we shall not at
tempt to say. We are not acquainted
with conditions in Union.

WHETHER Peary did, or Cook did
deed glad that the north pole has been
reached. Our pleasure at this out
weighs our interest in the controversy
as to who got there first. AS to what
we have always thought about the
matter, makes no difference; but there
are people who believed that the earth
was hollow and that the entrance was
to be found at the poles. They had
gentle nature of the curvature, etc.,
ships might sail over the top and back
into the interior without noting the
change of position. 1t is not much
realize the spherical form Of the earth.
Others of less penetrating minds have
pictured the north pole as a projec-
ton, fitting into a great box, which,
with a similar arrangement at the
south pole, kept the earth in position.
AS to what the boxes that held the
axles were fastened to, did not annoy
them a great deal, and of course, there
were other polar notions, more or less
absurd. The most rational idea that
was entertained by sensible men gen.
orally, was that the poles were just
like any other part of the earth, ex-
cept for their extreme cold, and the
biggest source of curiosity was wheth-
er the polar points, 80 degrees north,
was occupied by land or water. Both
Peary and Cook say water, and water
it must be. The geographers have
long taught that the earth is slightly
flattened at the poles, and therefore
more like an apple or an orange, than
an exact sphere. The notes of Cook
and Peary will probably establish the
exact degree of curvature. and there
will be that much additional satisfac-
tion as the result Of their explanations.

the cases are those Of bribery or con-

taken the money. According to the

- Columbia State, Tuesday: In his
charge to the grand jury when court
opened last Tuesday, Judge Memmin-
ger called attention to the amount of
perjury that is permitted to go un-
punished in the courts, and recon-
mended that the officers of justice
make an effort to put an end to it as
far as possible. Yesterday in the case
Of the state against Ephraim Patter-
son, tried for assault with intent to
ravish, Burr Jacobs and Hilliard Har-
ris. both colored, on the stand gave
evidence exactly in contradiction of
the evidence they gave before Fowles
when the preliminary trial Of the case
was held. Solicitor Cobb said he was
going to try to put stop to such care
less handling of the truth upon the
part Of witnesses, and a warrant was
issued for the arrest Of these two men
on the charge Of perjury. Witnesses
in cases from now on are placed on
notice that if they are detected in
making false statements on the wit
ness stand. nothing will save them
from the penitentiary if Judge Mem
minger can further the efforts of the
solicitor to put perjurers behind the
bars.

Diversihcation.

The farmers Of this country depend
too much on commercial fertilizers for
their own good, and if they would grow
wealthier al a more rapid rate than
they are doing, they must give more
attention to the production of nitrogen
by natural means.
1t is easy enough to take an old red
field and by the use of commercial
fairly good crops Of cotton year after
year; but after a long period of years,
the soil still devoid of humus, will be
no better than at the beginning.

The price of crimson clover seed is
rather higher than usual this fall; but
still not too high for profitable use.
The farmers who sowed wheat last
fall had occasion to congratulate
themselves this summer. 1t will be
the same next summer.
Mr.. 3. Harris, the former, hard
working president Of the Farmers
Union, is still at 1t. He is out this
week in an address to the farmers, ad-
vising and urging them to hold their
cotton for higher prices, and to mar
ket gradually.

Mr.. John A. Darwin, formerly OF
Yorkville, now Of Athens, Ga, has un-
der consideration the idea Of purchas-
property, and erecting q hotel building
to cost not less than $4,000. Mr.
Darwin's brother-in-law, Judge James
L. Webb Of Shelby, is interested with
him in the proposed enterprise. Mr.
Darwin is well known in Yorkville, as
a big, broad hustler, and II he does
carry through his scheme to re-devel-
op this famous mineral water property,
1t Is safe to anticipate that he will more
than restore to 1t its ancient prestige
and glories.
X was, of course, out of the question
to catch and print all Of the good
things that were said at the Farmers
Institute in Yorkville last week; but
among the many points that were
made by Prof Ira w. Williams, and
which are entitled to especial empha-
sis. was this: I'VE are trying to bring
this instruction right down to you and
your own farm. Much Of the litera-
ture you get, including most Of the
bulletins, relate to matters in a diff
ferent climate from yours and one not
applicable to your case at all. What
do you care about information as to
closely built chicken houses and COW
barns? Nothing. Your climate does
not require them, and 1t is the same
with hundreds Of other things. What
we want to do, is to give you infor-
nation that is adapted to your own
peculiar conditions. and while we do
not pretend to be able to tell you ev-
erytyhing, 1t gives Us great pleasure to
be able to tell you what We do know,
and when you seek information of us,
we will answer you even though we
have to ransack the whole storehouse
Of agricultural knowledge"

hunting musk oxen for sport, in the
winter of 190S-09. When DR.. Cook
and his two Esquimaux, exhausted
and half starved, came within shots
distance Of the house in Annatok,
young Whitney came out to bid him
welcome, but inside the house was
stranger, a giant Newfoundland boat
swain on watch. This man had been
placed in Dr. Cooks house by Peary
when the latter passed Etah with his
ship bound north. Peary had given
the boatswain a written order, which
commenced with the following words:
This house belongs to DR.. Frederick
A. Cook. but DR.. Cook is long ago
dead, and there is no use to search
after him. Therefore, l, Comman-
der Robert E. Peary, install my
boatswain in the deserted house. This
paper the boatswain, who could
neither read nor write, exhibited
to DR.. Cook and the latter took
copy Of this wonderful document.
This copy, however, he does not
intend to publish If Peary's course
does not force him to do so. DR..
Cook gave me lively account Of how
the young millionaire, Mr. Whitney,
during the whole winter was treated
like a dog by the giant boatswain and
how he had calmly witnessed the sale,
or bartering Of DR.. Cooks provisions
for fox and bearskins for himself. DR..
Cook also had to put good face on
the unpleasant situation. He had to
beg to get into his own house and had
to make a compromise with the boat
swain with strong fists. DR.. Cook
made a present Of the house with all
its contents to his two faithful Esqui-
maux, with the proviso that Whitney
was to have the use Of the house as
long as his hunting trip lasted, but he
was compelled to let the Newfound-
land boatswain continue his watch.
The boatswain, however, received
strict orders not to exchange any
more of the provisions or guns. Now,

triumphal entrance into New York
harbor aboard Peary's ship. while
