ELECTRIC CAR SCHEDULE.

The electric car idea suggested by
Sec. John Wood, OF the Spartanburg
Chamber of Commerce, whereby an
electric car would make frequent trips
between Spartanburg and Laurens on
the c. 4 w. c. Ry is a good one. Lau-
rens feels that the schedules, taken
all i'll all, as they are run now are
better than they were before. but this
electric car would make the schedule
even better. This car would enable
people all along the line to go where
they wish TO. III they prefer going
to Spartanburg. they can so there and
II they prefer coming to Laurens they
can come here. We do not believe in
forcing people to trade where they do
not want to, but we believe in Civ

III making the way clear for people
TO come to Laurens and then. after
the way is made clear, make the bar

CAMERA BREAKS
 INTO POLITICS Double Exposure Shows Judge Cushman Addressing Demo-
 cratic Convention

Political affairs in Alaska arc some mixed but it has remained for Photographer Hunt to make Judge Cushman chairman of the Harrais Democratic convention at Eagle hall.
 MT. Hunt took a photo of the interior of the court room some time ago and as he has been busy he did not have time to de- velop the plate. Last night he took flashlight of the conven- ton and the picture shows that even cameras cannot always be relied upon to tell the truth.
 Both pictures on the plate are good and show Judge Cushman on the platform a little to the left of the chairman, Wm.O'Con- nor. MT. Hunt took another flashlight of the convention this morning and believes he has suc- ceeded in getting a good picture. Only proof of the double-ex- posture was struck off.

EngIand's Coal FiNs.

A French author, M. Loze, has again
brought up the question of the BOD
able duration Of the British coal fieldS
Assuming that the prosperity and pow
er OF Great Britain depend upon her
supply Of coal he thinks that "the
end Of Britain" Is due within the
present century. He fixes the date
1850 for the complete exhaustion Of
the attainable supply of coal in the
British Isles
To this statement reply Is made
that M. Loze has failed to take &C.
count of recent Investigations proving
that mining can be economically car
Eried on at much greater depths than
1000 feet-the limit assumed by the
French author-and consequently the
British coal supply will last indefinite
~ longer than his calculation shows

Protecting Wild Animals.

qAn. iInl n. amendment to. Il the
game laws which goes into effect this
year is that prohibiting the sale OF
game at any time. While this will
have no effect on the average hunter,
1t will put an end to a practice which
has had much to do with decreasing
the supply Of wild animals and birds
IN this state. The slaughter of game
IN order to supply the markets has
in the past done much to aid in the
extinction of our wild animals and
birds, and the elimination OF this type
OF hunter will be most beneficial.
Each year the game laws are be.
Ing more strictly enforced, and the
protectors have obtained large num-
Der Of convictions. The officials are
no longer ready to overlook violations
OF the law, but are making every ef-
fort to put stop to illegal hunting.
And In this work they have the moral
support of all good citizens OF the
Enthusiastically Gazette.
