QUAIL REPORTED
AT THIS TIME
PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT FOR
GOOD SPORT WHEN SEA-
SON OPENS.

According to reports the prospects
for quail hunting are not very bright
for the coming season, for quail are
reported as being rather scarce. The
extremely Enfavorable weather Of
April is thought to have been the
cause of chilling many eggs and pre-
venting their being Matched, while the
young which we're Matched suffered
greatly from both cold and rain. The
weather of April was very unfavora-
BILE both for setting and rearing the
young.
Reports which have so far been re-
ceived indicate that the number OF
birds will be considerably smaller than
usual when the season opens. Quail
may be hunted from Nov. Is to Feb.
Is.

INSURANCE MEN
WERE In COLUMBIA
HAVE ASSOCIATION TO PROTECT
FROM LOSS AND
WASTE.

Quite a number of prominent In
surance men were In town Thurs
day in connection with the inspec-
tion made by the Tennessee Fire Pre-
vention Association.
Following are the names of num-
Der of the members Of the Associa-
ton who were in Columbia:
J. G. Lucas, President; Werner
Kline, Secretary; j. Knox Polk, .. F..
Frizzell, Caeser Thomas, Mr.. Chamb-
ers, r. H. Williams, ]. M. Dogers. J.
M. Picton, T. Graham NHall, Mr..
Crouch. F. H. Warren, Mr. Long.
The object of the Association, 40
previously stated in The Herald, Is TO
prevent fires, and to reduce the enor-
nous waste which results from fires
in the United States. It's membership
is composed of the state or special
agents Of all Fire Insurance compan-
les operating in the state, and also
chiefs of Are departments and repre-
sentatives Of water works corpora
lions. All act with the city ofacers
and cooperate with them for the pur-
pose Of preventing fires by securing
better constructed buildings, and i'm
proving the service Of the fire depart
ment and procuring adequate water
supply and equipment.

Joe Galloway and Dalton Jones, tw'
negro youths, living at Fountain Creek
were arrested about o'clock Thurs
day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff &c
!, Hight, charged with stealing chick
ems, and were brought to Columbia by
the officer and lodged in jail. It Is not
known just when they win be given
a preliminary hearing. The boys are
from 16 to Is years old.
It seems q great many chickens
have been missed in the neighbor-
hood where the boys live, and resi-
dents Of Glendale have always missed
number Of chickens, the depreda-
lions having been carried on for some
time. One Of the principal victims
of people who have the chicken habit,
is Mrs. MontIoe. an old lady living In
the Fountain Greek locality, and 1t
seems she has lost many of her best
and earliest spring broilers.
It is said that the chickens or some

hat the negro choked her harder than

oncealed himself in clump OF
reeds while Mr.. Thomas was looking
or him and that he later slipped quiet
? away, the result being that he was

Practical Jokers and
Their Silly Jokes
My Dear Boys and Girls:

My Dear Boys and Girls:
Even an organization formed along
such useful lines as our Childrens
Club, one that has run along so smooth
ly and harmoniously for years, cannot
be free from the intrusion OF u class
who push themselves forward every
where, under tho guise Of practical
jokers" That their jokes arc silly,
vapld things, causing discomfort to
tho persons on whom they are prac-
ticcd and rejecting discredlt on the
oriBiuators of them, never seems to
enter into the minds OF these jokers.
The editor OF the Children's Club is
very sorry to tell club members that
an aggravated type OF the practical
Joker has been recently playing FRANKS
among us-pranks that arc not only
mischiepo,ls. but hurtful to others, and
In utter opposition to club rules and
methods. This Joker has written u
letter, extremely silly In tone, to Cor
don Knipple of Leesburg, and signed
to the letter the name Of Mary Fulton
Rhudy. of Independence. This letter
was postnarked Richmond. but the
writer covered such an inconsistency
by saying that Mary Rhudy was here
on II visit. Another letter. written
later from her to tho editor, leads the
correspondence column to-day and eN-
plains how so stupid deception was
easily set to rights, except in SO far as
the joker IS concerned.
What the joker wrote Is now In tho
EDITORS hands. Though tho signature
does not reveal identity. the landwrit-
ing does, as the editor is quito ashamed
10 realize.
That anything more than thought
lessness was intended is not to be be-
lievcd Eut thoughtlessness that leads
to the appropriation of another per-
sons name, even in fun, cannot he
countenanced for a moment, and ! am
sure all active and Interested club
members viii agree with mo in think
ing so. The postcard exchange was
established for your pleasure aud the
promotion of your acquaintance and
kindly social relations the ono to the
other. That 1t has been foolishly per-
verified Is "A pity. That 1t will he
abused no longer am confident, for
I am certain my girls and hoys have
better things TO DO than TO indulge IN
joke making that is undignifed and
distastcful TO everybody concerned
That ] have had to take up your
time and mine by writing to you on
such II subject has not been pleas
ure. but necessity. ] hope you VIII
all read Mary Fulton Rhudy's COM
plant, and you will then know how
real the necessity is. 1t is sometimes
beneficial to vcntilate matter Of this
sort as thoroughly as we do room
when we open the windows and let
in the air and sunshine Having dis
posed of 1t in this way once for all,
we are glad, am sure, TO bid 1t good
by and not mention it again.
