OF the subject of violations of fish
and game laws Commissioner John
w. Titcomb in his annual report
says:
"A system of wardens has been
built up in this state under the de-
partment Of fish and game whereby
very few violators of the laws and re
quirements of this department escape
prosecution.
THE total fines imposed in the
biennial period just closed were
$653S and the costs, $l63693. None
of these costs and fines go to the de-
partment The better enforcement
of the law in this regard in attributed
to the county warden system.

The acts of 1910 provided for the
killing of deer in the act of doing
damage TO crops. This law was dis
cussed far and wide and while in one
or two cases a person has taken adj
vantage of the privilege improperly
the law on the whole is satisfactory.
In this regard Commissioner Tit
comb says that while the old law pro
vided recompense for damage done it
did not restore the fresh VEGETABLES
upon which the owner had planned or
the fruit trees which could not be re-
placed easily. A table has been com
piled by the department indicating

label Case" Continued.

Columbia, Jan. 15.-The Richland
county court of general sessions re-
sumed it's work this morning, with
Judge Ernest Gary presiding. The
election of Judge Watts to the su-
preme bench necessitated adjourn
ment of the Richland county court
until another Judge could be secured,
and Judge Ernest Gary, who was dis
engaged, was assigned to preside.
This morning a continuance was
granted in the label" case on motion
of the State. On the States showing
that one of their witnesses was sick,
that Mr.. Stevenson's legislative du-
ties would prevent his giving any
time to the case, and that Mr.. Abney
was absent from the city on business,
Col. P. H. Nelson, of counsel for the
defence, announced that he would
not oppose a motion for continuance,
provided it was marked on the dock
ct as granted on motion of the State.
The defendants were ready for trial.

A Plucky Fight.

How seven American sailors fought
and worsted a party of Moro head
hunters in the heart of Philippine
forest, leaving six of their enemies
dead, was told by the crew of the
Muncaster Castle, just in from five
months cruise in the far east. 1--WE
were at Cabu taking on cargo, when
seven of us thought it would be fine
to spend Sunday duck hunting" said
Chief Officer Charles Bonner. 1--WE
could find no ducks, so we landed and
dived into the, jungle, thinking to
bring down some sort of game, any
how. We had gone in the jungle
about three miles when band of fif-
teen or twenty natives attacked us.
We had rifles and shotguns, while
they had only bolos, but in one at
tack a Moro got so near to the head
of Chief Engineer Lewis that he cut
off the visor of Lewis's cap with a
slash of his bolo. We killed six OF
those head hunters. Every now and
then one dropped as we covered our
retreat to the shore with occasional
shots. But it took us three hours to
reach our boats.'

CHIMES OF ST. MICHAEL.
Have Crossed the Ocean Not Less
Than Five Times.

The old world boasts of many ia
nous bells and chimes, to which
clings the association of romance and
poetry, but of all the bells in the
world none, perhaps, have had a
more adventurous career than those
of St. Michael's, at Charleston, S. c..
The well-authenticated story Of this
famous peal shows that the bells
composing it have crossed the ocean
no less than five times-once as a
heap of twisted metal.
The St. Michael bells were cast in
England some time before our revo-
lutionary war and brought to this
country. When war against the old
country began the Charleston peal
was sent back to England, so that it
might not be injured. When the
war was concluded the Charlestoni-
ans clamored for their bells, and it
became the duty of our first minister
to the court of St. James to see that
they were returned. His negotiations
were successful, and the bells were,
with much ceremony, reinstalled in
the church.
The next adventure came with the
civil war, when the steeple of St.
Michael's was made target for the
guns of the besiegers. The bells were
removed for safety to Columbia, but
when the army of Sherman occupied
that town, the sheds in the yard OF
the State house wherein the bells had
been stored were broken into, and the
bells smashed into fragments, sheds
being fired.
The bells were not, however, COM
pletely "done for At the close OF
the civil war the pieces were carefully
gathered and shipped to Liverpool,
together with directions with how
they should be recast, the specifica-
tions being taken from the records
of st. Michael's, which showed where
the bells had been cast and the pro-
portions.
1t was found that the firm of bell
founders which had cast the bells IN
the first place was still in existence,
consisting of descendants of the orig
inal firm. The records of this firm
showed that the proportions of the
casting corresponded with those OF
record at St. Michael's; and so, under
these circumstances the recasting of
the bells was not so difficult mat
ter. Accordingly, for the fifth time
they crossed the ocean and were set
up at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Rec

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 14.-Unless
the 1900 or more textile strikers
in Lawrence arrange to return to
work by Monday there will be COM
plete shut down of the mills in this
city, and $4,000 operatives will be
locked out.
This is the drastic measure agreed
upon by the mill owners of this and
other cities as result of the obJec-
tions of the workers to the mill own
ers' way of constituting the new 81
hour law.
The plan so far as the Everett
mill is concerned, went into erect
at noon yesterday. When business
stopped at noon the men and women
we're told that they need not return
to work Monday that the mill would
shut up shop indefinitely.
'That is exactly the plan that has
been agreed upon to break this un-
reSs aable strike" declared a mill
owner. Business does not justify
paying any more per hour and we
don't propose to do it. The strikers
will return to work at once or all
hands will go out until such time
as they want to return to work.
The strike could not have come
in a more opportune time for either
parties to it. The textile men say
that they have just gone through a
hard siege and were just getting on
their feet when they were hit with
the new 54 hour law and the strike
of the men who wanted Sc hours
pay for 54 hours work.
Should there be a general LOCKOUT
it would come right at the worst
time in winter when food and heat
are highest and money is most need
ed by the workers and their families.
The mill workers are not well organ
lied and could not look for help from
unions.
Policemen and firemen are on
guard tonight and members of the
local militia are in readiness for a
call in the event of another outbreak
of rioting.
It is the general opinion here that
there would have been no strike had
it not been precipitated by men from
New York who are at the head of the
organization known as the Industrial
Workers of the World-an organiza-
tion to which many textile workers
belong.
Lee Phillips, a member of this or
ganization, is under arrest on the
charge of melting riot. He will be
dealt with by the courts on Wednes-
day.
Other textile cities have their eyes
on Lawrence. The result of the strike
here will determine action in Fall
River, New Bedford, Lowell and 9TH
er places. 1t is for that reason in part,
that the fight here is bound to be a

Speech with Funny Stories.

When one of our northern friends
was down in Mississippi talking to
Souther farmer, he said: why
don't you people teach the monkeys
to pick cotton? The little nimble
fingered fellows would run around
the stalks and pick out the fluffy
stuff and throw it in the baskets. y
YES" said the farmer, "that's right;
but we wouldn't more than get. 'em
organized before you burned Yankees
would come down here and free EN-"
Laughter and applause.]
A teacher once asked boy this
question: "If there are twelve sheep
in pen and seven of them jump out,
how many sheep will be left?" The
boy scratched his head and was ST.
lent. The teacher said: Cant you
figure? There would be five left,
would there not?" The boy said:
"No, sir; there would not be any
left The teacher said: "Why,
there would certainly be five left in
the pen" The boy said: professor,
you may understand arithmetic, but
you don't understand sheep.

Uncle Johnny said, "My judgment is
they will never build it. But his

Uncle Johnny observed: There is
a sight of difference between road
surveying and road building"
"Well," said his friend, "they are
digging dirt over on the hill now,'
and Uncle Johnny replied, Dirt dig
ging and road completing are two
powerful different propositions.
Laughter Finally his friend said,
"Uncle Johnny, they have got the
road done; they have completed the
track and the train has arrived; the
engine is out there on the track now;

went out and looked at it; cold and
lifeless the engine stood; and when
asked, What do you think of it now,
