A STORY OF STUFFINC.
A Delegation From the Lau-
rel Gun Club Performed a
Feat We Thought to Be an
Impossibility.

We are satisfied that partrldges
can be stuffed, as likewise guile
less Editors Of newspaper.
There is an old saying that IAN
honest confession IS good for the
soul, = and this Is about the only
consolation left for the scribe Of the
Jones County News.
Now, we do not charge old
farmer McSwain with 'stuhing that
partridge he brought into our Office,
but after having an ocular demon
stration OF the fact, we must acknow-
ledge that the Laurel Gun Club vas
10 the right when its members con-
tended that the stulling Of aquail was
not only practical but an easy job.
Last Saturday morning delega-
tion from the Laurel Gun Club came
down 10 an automobile, and entered
our sanctum sanctorum armed and
equipped with partridge that had
recently been shot, two bottles OF
boil weevils, and an ordinary stick,
cut from the limb OF bush. The
delegation consisted OF Messrs S. M.
Jones, promoter Of the trully line,
w. +. Pryor, connected with Uncle
Sans Agricultural Department o.
n. Holbert and j. 4. CAN'T.
These parties stated that they came
with no hostile intent, but wanted
10 convince us that partridges could
be stuffed, and they decided The best
way to inject this fact into our thick
skull and through our beclouded brain
was to let US witness the process.
They said that they had killed
several birds'in cotton patch, and
after dissectng same found nothing
at all resembling a boil weevil So
they brought one OF the birds along
that we might examine same 10 our
entire satisfaction, see that il had not
been tamp9red with, and then pro-
eeeeed 10 demonstrate the stufiiing
process, using That small stick
We first inquired II these gente-
men had not shot. that partridge near
laurel for ii so, while they bad a

fields.
II would pain MS to he instrumental
in depriving the clever bird hunters
sbi our country from enjoying their
spArt, but we really did lhope and yet
hopa that partridges are beginning
to feed on the boil weevil, for If some
exterminator OF these pests could be
found il would be a blessing to the
country. But the offer made by the
members of the Laurel Gun Club is
fair and patriotic, and should satis-
fly any reasonable man. They say
il convinced that quail feed on wee
wills they are ready to conhne their
sport to shooting clay pigeons, and
unite with the farmers 10 protecting
partridges. We are anxiously await
ing to hear from MIR Hailes, for his
/ ep lrt viii sett lie this question
The stal ement made by the Laurel
Gun Club about it being entirely
feasible to stuff a partridge has heen
clearly demonstrated and they are
equally as certain that quail do not
feed on weevis.
i p. S.--After Watching the successful
manner in which Mr.. Pryor welded

by the sweat of the nigger's brow;
and as to Workmanship, we could
not hit the side of d barn unless
locked therein and the door closed.
Our only intent IN demanding pro-
lection for partridges was that II
they really feed on boil weevils, their
Slaughter by hunters should stop.
Mr.. Jones and whose word NJ one
questions, assured Us that last season
he killed over three hundred quail,
and not in the craw Of single bird
did he find boil weevil. Mr.. Hol-
bert, who is truthful and reliable, as
every one knows, gave us the same
assurance. They stated further that
they we're glad this matter had come
up, for If il was demonstrated to
their satisfaction that partridges
feed on boil weevis that they would
not only refrain from hunting, but
unite in petitioning our County
Board Of Supervisors to pass rul-
ing protecting quail. They also as
sured US that every member Of their
Gun Club was heartily in sympathy
with any movement to eradicate this
pest, and several had contributed to
that end They are anxious that the
question Of partridges feeding on
boil weevils be settled by undispuled
testimony, and their club members
would eheerfuly join in any steps TO
this end.
We are glad that these gentlemen
came to see us, and it affords Us very
great pleasure 10 make the above
statement Wew simply mistaken

We hope now that Mr., Hailes, farm

cotton patches and open their CROPS.

to our Office besides the boil weesils
we saw crammed therein. there was
found only COW pea and weed seed.
The only weevils in its craw were the.
ones we Witnessed ramned therein
with that stick
Mr.. Pryor says the only enemy To
the boil weeyil is a small ant, that
eats the layae Of the young, thus
destroying them in the germ. He
says he has opened the crops of many
quail and have never yet found
boil weevil; that quail do not make
a habit OF eating insects, but feed

THE INDIAN Is NOT DYING
OUT, But Is INCREASING

The noble red man is not disap-
pearing. He IL coming mp at the
rate OF about 1 per cszt a year, and
the chances are that he will be with
US for all time. Excluding Alaska,
there are about 100000 Indians in
the country, Of whom more than
third are OF mixed blood. This does
not seem a large number, but 1t Is
probably about as many as there
we're at the time Columbus made his
first voyage.
As TO the actual number OF In
dians when the white man first set
tied, we are without very complete
data. Most reliance is placed on re-
ports Of the early Jesuit missionar-
les. who wandered far and who no
ted down with great detail what
they saw and learned. All data
available lead to the belief that
there we're no more than 100000 In
dams in this country when the white
man came, and possibly not so
many. The Indians did not increase
rapidly. Their nomadlc life and
the dangers to which they were ex-
posed kept the population fairly sta
tionary. II is true that the white
mans rum and his diseases played
havoc with some OF the tribes. but
nature has wonderful way OF re-
pairing such losses among peoples
with normally a low birth rate. Il
Is true that most OF the Eastern In
dams have disappeared. but some Of
them went West. where their des-
cendants live to this day.
II IL interesting to note that there
are $50 tribes reported, but Of these
~ are reported as having one Nom
Der each. This looks more like In
dian bravado than ethnic accuracy.
There are SO linguistic stocks. and
these represent what should be call
cd tribes. The Cherokees have over
30. 900 members. and that IL prob
ably the largest number in their his
tory, although here Is a consider

blood. II will be remembered that

PARCELS POST AIDS
MANY POsTAfAsTERs
Farmers Mail Produce and Cancelled
stamps Swell Compensation.

OGDEN, Aug. 19.-There is no
sadness among the fourth-class post
masters Of this locality over the
new ruling which permits the send
ing of packages, not exceeding 20
pounds in weight, by the parcel
post From the showing which has
been made at the local postoffice
during the past few days there is a
possibility that some Of the fourth
class offices, which are filled under
civil service regulations. may be-
come better financial propositions
for the postmaster than those which
require political prestige.
The salaries OF the fourth-class
postmasters are regulated with re-
gard to the amount OF stamps can
ceied out Of their respective offices.
As an indication OF what the parcel
post means to some Of the smaller
offices. Assistant Postmaster Rufus
Garner discovered today that more
than $40 worth Of stamps were can
celed out OF the Eden office In og-
den valley. A very large percentage
OF the stamps were on packages
weighing from twelve to eighteen
pounds and included under the new
ruling.
There has been a marked increase
in the amount OF mail from the Og-
den valley district since the inaug-
uratlon OF the parcel post. A. II.
Smith, who carries the mail in that
district, has been forced to abandon
his Side line" OF furnishing trans
portation to passengers and declares
that a continued increase in the
amount Of parcel post matter will
necessltate the purchase OF a motor
truck. The farmers OF the rich ag-
ricultural valley are taking advan-
tage Of the opportunity to send pro
duce to customers in this city by
parcel post.
