AUDUC0N SOCIETY
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING IN co.
LuNIBIA ON WEDNESDAY.
Matters Of Importance Discussed by
the Members-James Henry Rice
Reelected Secretary.

The annual meeting Of the Audu-
bon Society of South Carolina was
held in the Loan and Exchange bank
building Wednesday. There were
900 members represented. NJ. O.
Dantzler, the president of the Sc
ciety, was unavoidably detained on
account CT the serious illness of his
brother, O. NJ. Dantzler, sheriff Of
Calhoun county.
Moreover, President Dantzler hav-
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 his
incumbency. His successor has been
named, but will not be announced
until he is officially notifedsand has
accepted.
The society feels that its moral
position is stronger than ever, al
though no gain in membership has
ever been secured on account Of the
lack Of active field work.
The matter Of extending the So
ciety's usefulness by increasing
membership and changing the mode
of securing members was taken un-
der advisement and plan adopted
which will be published in full lat
er. This in the main looks to secur-
ing a permanent endowment, so
that the society may become inde-
pendent Of small annual dues.
One of the main duties deVolVing
on the society by law is the sugges-
,ion of suitable legislation. The Sc
ciety reafrned it's belief in the res
ident hunters license as the only
practical means Of enforcing bird
and game protection, and will ask
the general assembly to reconsider
it's action and pass such a license.
Recent events have strengthened
the society's determination to Sc
cure for the farmers Of the State
the protection for their crops and
lands, to which they have always
been entitled, and which they have
never received from the general as
sembly.
For the present there has been no
change in the officers, outside of the
president. James Henry Rice was re-
elected secretary.
The treasurer's report showed
small balance to the credit of the
society. not counting the money bor-
rowed last year, and the return of
which was recommended in a spec
ial message by Gov. Alsel, voted by
the general assembly, but vetoed
by Gov. Blease.
The Audubon society feels content
with results so far, and is ready for
campaign more active than ever
waged before for the protection OF
the birds. The society now enters
Upon the sixth year of its work.

The importance of making all

Ing this important matter a recent bull

There are few horsemen who have

night or Sunday morning frequently
produces souring if the horse IS not
worked the next day
Several experiments quoted by DR.
Fred Smith throw interesting light on
this question Five horses were given
four pounds of oats and four horses
were given three pounds Of oats. and
all nine horses were destroyed about
four hours later.
Four OF the number receiving four
pounds had digesfed from TWO to three
pounds Of the grain, and three of these
receiving three pounds had digested
approximately one and three quarter
pounds The remaining one of the first

lot had digested none whatever

The practice of applying liberai

connection with all of the farm ma
nure which can be made on the farm
from the hay, straw and other coarse
products and low priced grains, to

an absolutely permanent system of
agriculture, even though high priced
grains and animal products are sold
from the farm. It is system under
which the land grows richer and rich

WAISTS OF 1911
MOST ATTRACTIVE.
NnOn0 Sleeves the Most StTik-
ing Feature Of New Modes.


Long ago. when you were really
young. the first showing of spring
shirt waists in the windows in the
middle of winter actually set your
heart al in a futter. They were so
entieing, and you wished you had
! about twice as many as you could af-
ford, and You made up your mind to
copy some Of those that looked so sim
pie and cost so much
But now that you are a thousand
years old and have seen the new shirt
waists in the windows many, many
times you have even been known to
walk right by a window full of them
without looking in. which is great
mistake
It's a mistake because it's trucking
to old age, and it's a great mistake,
TOO, because the new blouses are un-
deniably pretty, and this year there
are many new points about them.
Perhaps the most striking character
istic of the new hlouses is the preva-
lence of the kimono sleeve Almost
half the soft waists seem to be made
with this new seamless shoulder. It
is the logical outcome of the winter
modes The suit blouses of chiffon
and six were almost all made with
half on three quarter length kimono
sleeves, and 10 objections were offered,
So it was the logical thing to repeat
this popular style in the summer
blouses.
Another distinguishing feature of
the new waists is the use Of fine
French Yoile or marquisette The Yoile
is to be preferred to tlle marauisette,
however as it is a little drIner.
The rage for beads, SO marked in
the winter styles, also has It's echo iii
the waists for 1911 Some wash
blouses are seen delieately embreider-
ed In porcelain beads 81 black, white
or color But since the laundering &c
these beaded patterns is rather diff
cult the designers have cleverly made
use Of new kind Of embroidery
which initiates the little porcelain
beaded effect to perfection. It resem-
bIes a series Of Trench dots, each dot
being about the size and shape Of a.
white porcelain bead Dainty patterns
are worked in this beaded effect on
marquisette and wolfe.
On ether waists small coral beads
are used, and the coral touch is accen-
tuated by narrow folds Of coral wolfe
at the neck and sleeves.
