WORKED THE HooDoo GAME.
Old Negro Woman Film Flammed
Ont Of Her Money.

Ann Thompson, an old colored Wo-
man, who lives q few miles from
this city over in the Fork, claims to
have been film fammed out of s76.
which she had laid aside to pay a
debt, by slick rascal Of her own
color, whom she entertained one
night, and who, claims to be a hoo
doc doctor, with powers to make all
things come to pass. Ann believed
in him at first, but she doesn't any
more.
It seems that the slick rascal came
along about last Thursday and
knocked at the hospitsble door of
Ann Thompson, who occupied a
cosy cabin with her husband, whom
she had married OILY few weeks
before. The stranger was taken in,
and somehow he fou out that Ann
had SIS saved up with which she
was to pay debt she owed white
gentleman Of the Ieighbornood for
supplies or rent, or both.
He then let out by accident that
he was hoodoo doctor, and If Ann
would commit to his care a few min
utes her SIS she would find when
she went to pay her debt that. her
SIS had increased to S100, which
would leave her S25 after her debt
was paid. She gave him the SIS,
which, after many incantations and
hoodoo mumblinEs, he pretended 20
wrap up in bag, and told Ann to
let 1t remain unopened for a day
or two. Ann agreed to do this and
all went happy to bed.
Next morning when Ann and her
husband went out they found that
their guest had departed during the
night, and, as the sequel proved had
carried the SIS with him. AS soon
as the stranger was missed, they
took down the box in which he had
claimed to have put AIMS SIS, and
all they found was some old to-
bacco tags and pieces of bright tin.
No trace of the film flam artist could
be found. He had gone with Ann S
SIS, and she Is now somewhat poor
er, but wiser about hoodoo doctors.

THE GAME. Law
lP IS MORE STRICT THIS YEAR
THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR.
Points Of Interest About the Law
That Should be Remembered by
]; an Hunters.

All Hunters.
On last Tuesday the season for
hunting such game as is. found in
this. section Of the State opened, and
from now until the first of March It
it lawful to kill partridges, doves,
wild turkeys and other game that
may be found in our forests and
fields.
AS the General Assembly last win
ter passed laws which will consid-
.erably restrict hunting privileges
from what they have been hereto
fore, it will not be alniss for hunts
men to freshen their memory bit
on the law ere they venture into. the
.haunts Of the denizens of field and
forest.
The Law; says that no wild turkey
or partridge shall be hunted between
the first day of March and the If
teenth Of November, nor any dove
between the fifteenth of March and
the fifteenth of August. Willet and
] .grack1e must not be killed between
the first Of March and the first Of
November. Any person violating
this section OF the act shall upon
conviction be fined ten dollars for
each bird killed, caught or pursued
with such intent.
1t is unlawful to kill more than
Z twenty-five partridges, twenty-five
doves, twelve woodcock or two wild
turkey in one day. ANY person vlo-
Jating this Act shall upon convic-
ton be fined twenty-five dollars or
imprisoned not exceeding thirty
days: Any bird killed in violation
OF the law shall be confiscated and
sold to the highest bidder, and the
proceeds of the sale shall be trans
mitted to the state treasurer and be
credited to the game protection
fund.
The Act also makes 1t unlawful to
buy. or sell doves, willet, partridge,
wcodcock or wilk turkey. Any one vio-
lsting this Act shall upon conviction
be fined ten dollars for each bird
sold. or imprisoned one day for each
dollar fined or unpaid. No one shall
keep in cold storage or a refrigera-
tor, except In a private dwelling, and
partridge, dove, wild turkey, wood
cock or willet. A fine Of not less
than. fifty dollars and not more
than one hundred dollars is provid-
ed for violation Of the section, or
imprisonment one day for each dol
lar fined or unpaid, either or both,
at the discretion of the court.
It Is provided that all fines and
forfeitures obtained for violation OF
the Act shall be paid to the srasa
treasurer to the credit Of the CANT
protection fund and shall be dlsburs-
ed by the state treasurer ON the
order Of the chief game warden Of
the state. 1t seems to be the gener-
.sl desire that the game laws this
year shall be strictly enforced, and
all good citizens should aid in en-
forcing it.
The law has been given in respect
to that kind of game which is to be
found in this section Of the state.
The time for the hunting OF deer,
wild duck and rice birds varies, as
this game is found In the lower sec
tion the State, law respecting it
would not be OF interest hereabout.
Should any of our sportsmen wish to
hunt deer, ducks or rice birds, whica
abounds in large quantities in the
coast counties, they had better read
up the law in reference to that kind
of game.
