Austin. Tex. Feb. S.-Certain provis-
ions of a bill which has been intro
duced in the legislature that has for
its object the protection Of wild game.
are meeting with vigorous opposition on
the part Of many sportsmen Of the
state.
Under the present act. deer may be
killed during only the months of No
Vember and December. The number in
a season is restricted to three, and
they must be bucks The law which
W @. Sterrett. state game warden,
proposes. provides that the open sea
son for deer shall be the months of
that does as well as bucks may be
killed, but the limit Of any one man
is three in one season.
The grounds for opposing these
changes are that September and Oc-
tOber. and Ofttimes November, are hot
months. and that the sport of deer
hunting cannot he INDUCED in with
any degree of pleasure during that
time During the warmer months and
up 10 the time the first frost is felt
the bucks do not move around much
during the day, il is claimed, and hunt
ing them would be a much harder task
than during the open season as it is
now Mr. Sterrett claims that the
meat of the bucks in November and
December is strong and unfit to eat.
while in the months of September and
October the animals are in fine condi-
ton and their meat Of a delicious
flavor
The proposed new law. as well as
the existing one. prohibits the sale Of
wild game or its shipment on railroads
unless accompanied by the man who
did the killing. who must be in pos

BE if enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
assembled, That from and after the
passage of this act each and every
bank now existing under and by vir-
tue of the laws of the United States,

POST OFFICE PATRONS
AND HOLIDAY PACKAGES
Advice that will Save Trouble for
Both the Public and Postal
EmplOyeS

Patrons of the postoffice are vital
~ interested in the delivery of their
Christmas parcels on or before
Christmas day and the Postoffice De-
partment has made extraordinary eff
forts to provide for the prompt de-
livery of all mails during the holiday
season. The cooperation of the pa
irons of the Ocala office is most
earnestly sought in order that all
mail matter for dispatch Or delivery
will be handled with facility during
this season and to that end l most
respectfully offer the following sug-
gestions:
All packages should be properly
packed, wrapped with strong paper
and tied with Irvine proportionate to
the weight and character of the con-
tents. Each parcel should be plain
~ and completely addressed, show
ing the street address or room num-
Der if public building, and bearing
If the upper left hand corner the ad-
dress of the sender preceded by the
word From" and Endorsed in the
appropriate instances Fragile,
'tPerisha ble," etc.
Packages may bear the words,
Not to be opened until Christmas,
or similar inscriptions, and this to-
gether with early shipment insures
the timeliness OF Christmas gifts;
whereas the practice of mailing pack
ages late in the hope that they will
reach their destination on Christmas
day is likely to defeat its own object,
thru unavoidable delay due TO the
congestion of the mail.
During the heaviest days of the
season a parcel post window will be
opened at the east end Of the post
office lobby where parcels will be &C
cepted for mailing upon the payment
OF the postage, stamps TO be affixed
later by the employees Of the office.
This will be done to relieve the con-
gestion usual at this time.
Persons desiring 10 insure parcels
may secure in advance tags which
they will need These tags can be
filled out at home or place Of busi-
ness. and thereby avoid the necessity
of so doing in he postoffice lobby.
The insurance fee is five cents for
parcels valued at $50 or less, and 10
cents from SIS to $50 Insul ed par

on such grounds would, in the Stars
opinion, be.a clear case of trying to
make a risht out of two wrongs, in
which our own people must suffer
from the latter. Carnegie has his
faults, no more than other pluto
Gratis, but not so many as most of
them, and he has certainly done and
is trying to do some great and noble
things. It's better for us in our lit

help rather than oppose his better
sentiments.

SUMTER'S TINE TO
SELECT A SENATOR

Wildwood Correspondent of the
time to nominate a senator for the
goth district, and according to the
rule and custom, the coming senator
will be from Sumter, and it would
be we'll for the people to be casting
about in their minds for the man
who will best serve the interests of
both Sumter and Marion counties
Sumter has many men who would
make good senator's to select from,
Messrs. w. A. Collins, H. o. Collier,
F. L. Rutland, w. D. Gamble, J. C.
B. Koonce or Glen Terrell. Any one
of these men would make good and
efficient senators, having had ex-
perience along business lines, and
are in position to know what would
be to the best interests of the peo-
pie along legislative lines, and could
assist in making laws that would be
best suited to the condition of all
the people. While we do not know
that either of these gentlemen have
aspirations along this line, at the
same time, we are confident that the
people Of Sumter will make no mis-
take in selecting either one of these
gentlemen, if they will, consent to
serve them. Every one of these men
are we'll and favorably known thru
out this and Marion county. Now
let the people get to work and select
a senator.
