AUOUG0N SOCIETY
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING IN CO.
LUsLBIA ON WEDNESDAY.
Matters Of Importance Discussed by
the Members-James Henry Rice
Reelected Secretary.

The annual meeting OF the Audi
bon Society of South Carolina was
held in the Loan and Exchange bank
building Wednesday. There were
900 members represented. NJ. Q.
Dantzler, the president of the Sc
ciety, was unavoidably detained on
account of the serious illness Of his
brother, O. NJ. Dantzler, sheriff OF
Calhoun county.
Moreover, President Dantzler hay
ing served two full years, now re-
tires from the presidency. The So
ciety saw him go with regret, and
passed suitable resolutions, testify
ing to the value of the moral and
active support he has given the
cause of bird protection during MS
incumbency. His successor has been
named, but will not be announced
until he is officially notiaed7and has
accepted.
The society feels that its mora
position is stronger than ever, al
though no gain in membership mas
ever been secured on account Of the
lack Of active field work.
The matter Of extending the So
csety's usefulness by increasing
membership and changing the mode
of securing members was taken IN
der advisement and plan adopted
which will be published in full lat.
er. This in the main looks to secur
ing a permanent endowment, Sc
that the society may become inoe
pendent of small annual dues.
One Of the main duties deVolVlns
Oh the society by law is the sugges
ion CT suitable legislation. The Sc
ciety reahrmed it's belief in the res
ident hunters license as the onl.
practical means cf enforcing blrt
and game protection, and will asi
the general assembly to reconside'
it's action and pass such a license.
Recent events have strengthened
the society's determination to sc
cure for the farmers Of the Stat
the protection for their crops AM
lands, to which they have alWay
been entitled, and which they haV
never received from the general IS
sembly.
For the present there has been n
change in the officers, outside OF tn
president. James Henry Rice was re
elected secretary.
The treasurer's report showed
small balance to the credit Of tn
society. not counting the money BOZ
rowed last year, and the return Q
which was recommended in a spec

A Legend of Aaincourt.

For many centuries we English have
plumed ourselves upon the victory Of
AgincOurt. Indeed it is from King
Henry VS. address to his soldiers ON
that occasion. as given by Shake
speare, that the motto of this journal
is taken, Familiar in their mouths as
household words" But the French
have an account of the affair not so
much to our credit. 1t was arranged,
according to this fable, by the two
leaders that only the mobiles on each
side We're to fight. King Henry v.
then artfully ennobled his whole army
and hence got the best of the enemy.
Shakespeare unwittingly gives a little
countenance to the legend when he
makes the king declare in the above
mentioned address, BE We ne'er SO
vile, this day shall gentle your condi-
tion.''-London Standard.

as we'll. it is far from surprising that
the identity Of the famous island
should have been long lost or that the
reidentification should have been de-
