The Gunner with bis Gun.

Will 1901 be In evidence. Now, before
the open season for birds arrives, let US
deal square with the laws ST South Carolina
with the birds, and with one another.
This is what the out-of-season hunter
does not do. In hunting before the season
opens he puts at defiance the state laws;
In hunting before the season opens he kills
birds before they are grown; and in hunt
ing before the season opens he Is not deal,
ing fairly with the hunter who reirains
from this breaking the law.
No man, be he ever so popular, be he
ever 80 anxious, be he ever so secretive,
has any right whatsoever to break the
law and begin hunting before the closed
season is over
It is up to the good citizens Of any com
munity to see to it that the law Is obeyed
Sentiment makes law. If the hunter knows
that the sentiment in any community Is
severely down on this class Of lawlessness
the hunter will not run any risk, he will
bide his time with the rest. What right
has he to enter the field before you do

Address by Dol. J.B 0'Heal Holloway
A CAMPAIGN Of Education.

The Abbeville County Farmers Union
met last Saturday in the Court House and
was addressed by Colonel J. B. O'neal Hol-
loway, a prominent Farmers Union NAM
Der from Newberry.
Col. Holloway Is making a tour Of the
State doing a sort Of mussinary work fol-
the Union, stirring up the Unions to great
er activity and organizing where there Is
need. He made a to ur Of Marion last week
| where on one occasion he spoke to a body
OF over a thousand men. This week he is
in Anderson County.
During next week he will make a tour
Of Abbeville County, beginning at McCor.

Mr.. Holloways appointment as an organ
izer came through the executive committee
Of the State organization, Of which Mr.. ]
A.. Perritt OF Darlington Is President, the
executive committee being composed o.
Messrs A. D. Hudson, of Newberry; Doug
las Mcintyre, Of Marion; andL. C. Padgett
of smoak. Colonel Holloway has been much
encouraged by the work he has already
done for the Union. He has revived a large
number OF Unions and has organized many
new ones.
He says that he finds former members
and many who are not members interest
in the work and expressing a determine
ton to do something for the cause. The
farmers seem to be imbued with the ides
of organization among the farmers fol
THE benefit Of the farmers, and that the
only way to meet organization Is by
means Of organization.
Asked as to crop conditions Colone
Holloway said that the corr crop in the
upper part of the state where he has beer
is the finest that he has ever seen anC
that there Is more of it than he has evei
seen in this section.
The cotton crop Is spotted, there being
few good fields. From Greenville to New
berry the crop is poor, there being a fail
prospect only in exceptional areas.

in less than the prescribed time? Why
cannot this same literary college offer
more inducements to men who wish to
study law? Is not the study of law just as
good a disciplinary MEASURE as the study
Of Old English? If these colleges would
only show men that they will receive
something that will be of worth to them
they would soon be filled to Overlooking.
When we say ''of worth we realize that
any study is Of disciplinary worth, but
here it is used in the sense of worth for
efficiency, worth for bread making.
The college that first realizes this and
trims its sails accordingly will be the first
to sweep out from under the almost total
eclipse in which such colleges are at pres
ent Swallowed.
EDUCATE o EFFICIENCY.
1t has been said Of a certain teacher
that while undergoing an examination

how she taught geography replied: 81

just as the patrons may wish, 1t is moth
ing to me and l always try to please
Without having so elastic a curriculum as
had this young school marin, and without
bowling so low to popular whims, the Col.
leges yet may bend and not break, may
change their curricula for the better by
needing just a little the call that is now
being made all wei the land-the call
for education for efficiency.

For a hunter to thus go out and hunt be-
fore tbe closed season is over, knowing
that he is openly and flagrantly breaking
the law is little short Of arrogance even
insult to, such as do not thus break the
law.
You have more respect fora community
where the citizens will not allow such
breecf of the game laws than you have
for a community that is lax and indlfer-
emit about such matters,
Let every hunter stand back and possess
himself in patience until the closed season
is passed, thus giving every other hunter
an even start and also giving the birds
time to drop their pin feathers.
Look toit fellow citizens, sec that this
law is not broken in the fall OF 1910.

Acquitted Of All Charges.

Last week we neglected to note the fact
that the remaining cases held against Mr..
Calhoun Harris, in the Orr Cotton Mill
charges have been mol pressed.
We have really thought nothing OF the
cases held back after hearing the trial OF
the first cause. Mr.. Harris's acquittal is
nothing more than We had expected and
the discontinuance Of the cases does not
come as a surprise.

must be used In the application of
cold as the tissues are always a little
devitatized by the confusion and the
added slowing OF the circulation by
the cold may cause them to die and
decay. Therefore. If the tissues appear
to have a low vitality. they should be
kept warm by being surrounded by hot
