AUDUBON SOCIETY MEETING.
NJ. o. DANIZLER, OF ORANGE
BURG, ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Need for State Game and Fish Conn
mission Discussed-BiN ReQuir-
ing Hunters to Take Out Licenses
to be Presented to Legislature
Work of Retiring President High
ly Commended.

Columbia, Dec. 3.-The annual
meeting of the Audubon Society
was held here this afternoon. when
plans for the coming year were dis
cussed and officers elected. One Of
the important matters considered
was that of placing before the Legis-
lature the need Of Ash and game
commission. A bill along this line
was introduced at the last session
Of the General Assembly, but all the
Audubon Society bills were post
poned and have a place on the CAL
endar now. The commissioners that
would act under such a bill would
save a great amount Of work and
would systematic the appointment
Of game wardens.
Charleston has one Of the largest
memberships in the country in Au-
dubon Society work. When Secre-
tary Rice looked over the list last
year there were 100 members regis
tered from Charleston. This is the
largest number in one city in the
South. Charleston's members says
Mr.. Rice, have shown much interest
in the work Of the Society.

day the following officers were nam

The Audubon Society Of this
State was chartered by the General
Assembly in 1907, the Society was
first organized January 4, 1900.
Treasurer's Report.
Ihe treasurer's report showed
that. although the membership dues
were not as large as last year, the
fines totalled up considerably more
than in the previous year.
The fact that the membership of
the Society was not more increased
during the past year is due to the
necessity for work to be done before
the Legislature for nearly two
months at the last session. This did
not leave as much time for work
throughout the State in the connec-
ton with the gaining Of new men,
bers. There were many convictions
OF violations Of the law during the
past year, and these fines are used
by the Society is furthering it's work.
The game wardens were paid more
money this year than last, but the
cost of litigation in the courts was
less.

The New Country Woman.

To many people it will be surprising
news to hear that there really is "new
woman" in the country, as well as in
cities. For number of years we have
been reading of the exploits of the new
woman in town, but nothing about her
country sister. Actually there are men
and women, people who call themselves
intelligent, who know more about Eu-
rope than they do of the real conditions
of the rural residents of their owr
country.
The average town dweller looks upor
life in the country as one wild waste
without fertile spot to redeemi it. Mer
and women willingly starve in crowded
tenements rather than endure the "ter-
rible loneliness" and "drudgery"o of the
country, and the sympathy of every
woman who has never lived in the coun'
try goes out to her down-trodden coun-
try sister.
Conditions have changed wonderfully
during the past twenty or thirty years
everywhere, but particularly in the
country. Machinery has lightened labo;
telephones have placed the country in
touch with the cities, rural free deliv-
cry has brought the news and happen
ings of the hour to the little box at the
gate of the farmer daily. fine pixies
make it possible to get from placetoplace
with ease and rapidity, and the steam
and electric cars are penetrating to the
remote corners Of the United States
with astonishing speed. The March
