Change i'm Game Laws.

Iowa Falls, Aug. 11.-Deputy
Game Warden H. E. Martin of this
city is calling the attention of fish
ermen in this part of the state to
several changes in the fish and game
laws as guide to legal fishing this
summer and fall. Bass, pike picker
ell, crappies and other game fish may
be caught until Dec. 1st, instead of
until Nov. 18th as heretofore. Fish
ing with spear is no longer unlaw-
full if you spear the right sort of fish.
The new law permits the spearing of
suckers, redhorse and buffalo fish,
except in March and April, but the
spearing must be done in the day
time. Under the same provision of
the new law, carp may also be spear
ed the same as suckers, redhorse, and
buffalo fish.

The attack on Mrs. Lighhall was
attempted while she was alone AZ her
farm home but she beat her assai,-
ant off with a poker. He is now at
large in the woods near Bassett.
Dyer is alleged to have attacked
Mrs. Gonche's daughter two weeks
ago, but his arrest and the story of
the attack was kept secret until yes
terday. Citizens from Fredericks-
burg made an attempt to take him
from the county jail Friday night,
but the mob was dispersed by Sher-
if Russell, who threatened to pro-
tect his prisoner at any cost.
Sheriff Russell today swore in ey-
ira deputies, anticipating return of
the mob to the county jail here to-
night. The mob last night, which
was composed of about fifty men.
seemed to lack leader and with the
populace enraged he fears another
attempt will be made tonight to get
Dyer. He is planning to protect the
negro from the mob, at any cost.
Considerable noise accompanied the
mob demonstration, but Sheriff Rus
sell said that most of it was fire.
crackers, fired for effect.
Women throughout the county are
greatly excited over the attack on
Mrs. Lighhall. The men folks were
in the fields at harvest when hobo
appeared at the door and asked that
she prepare his dinner for him.
Kind-hearted, she complied, and af-
ter he had eaten he attempted to
hug and kiss her. She grabbed the
stove poker, which was lying near,
and succeeded in beating him over
the head until he released his hold
and fed. Posses of farmers are to-
day searching for the assailant in
the woods.
Should he be captured his life will
be in danger, as the populace is
greatly incensed especially since the
attack on Mrs. Gonshe's daughter in
the same county.

Big Wheat Grower, at Cedar Falls,
Says Labor Conditions I'm
usually Bad.

Cedar Falls, Ia, Aug. 11.-Dakota
wheat growers are invading Iowa in
search of harvest hands. j. II. Man
ley, owner of big wheat ranch near
Aberdeen, S. D., is in Cedar Falls
seeking to hire men to harvest his
crop.
He declares that never before in

so hard up for help to harvest its
wheat crop. He says that the usual
migration to the harvest fields of the
northwest did not occur this year,
and that many wheat growers need
help so badly that unless relief is OBJ
tanned soon, big loss is sure to re-
suit. In many places women and
girls are working in the fields.

EDGEF1ELD COyNTY NAN KILLED.
Price Ripley May have Been Shot in
ScuffIe with Woman Fog Gun.

Edgefeld, May 19.-According to
reports received here today, Price
Ripley, white man, was shot and
instantly killed near Trenton yester-
day afternoon. 1t is claimed the ira
gedy was due to the accidental dis
charge of shotgun in the hands of
Miss Bessie Davis. There was no eye
witness to the shooting. Miss Davis,
it is said, has been hiding out since
the tragedy.
Price Ripley lived in the oJhnston
section of the county, while the woman
claimed Edgefeld as her home, hav-
ing recently worked in the cotton mill
here.
An inquest was held this morning
and from the meagre testimony OBJ
tainable it seems that the parties were
in house together and became in
volved in quarrel, and that one of
them seized g. gun nearby, and in a
scuffle for its possession it was dis
charged, the entire load taking ef-
feet in the breast of the deceased.
The jury held Misa Davis as being
responsible for Ripley's death, and
Sheriff Swearipgen went this morning
to arrest her, but she escaped him 1t

The trustees of the Newberry school
district, by authority of an act OF
last general assembly, order an cleo
tion on the question of voting one
mill tax for the improvement of the
Boundary street school building,
tt is true that it has only been
very short time since the people OF
this district were called upon to vote
additional tax for the purpose Of en-
larging the school facilities of the
district, but that honey has been ex-
pended in purchasing new buildings.
The heating plant and the sewerage
plant of the Boundary street school is
such that it is absolutely necessary
that the Improvements contemplated
be made. If anyone doubts this, all
that is necessary, is tor him to make
a visit to the Boundary street school
and see the conditions there. In
fact, if the board OF health would do
its duty, it seems to US that it would
be forced to condemn the Boundary
street school unless the Improvements
contemplated by the board are made.
1t will not be necessary to have this
tax for more than two or three years
in order to make the improvements
that are needed. We hope that the
people of the district will vote the
tax, and certainly, anyone before he
opposes it should visit the Boundary
street school and see for himself the
conditions as they are.

BILE is, is Newberry the place these
kind of people want to go to?-Green-

The Herald and News did not say
that Newberry needed thirty thous-
and citizens though it would be a
mighty good place for them. What
The Harald and News undertook to
say was, that it would be glad to see
the citizens who now live here get
busy and work together for the ad-
vancement of the community.
AS to the question oy the Journal,
there is no better place for people
to come than Newberry, and if we
could get the Journal man to come
down and spend day or two with
us, we are satisfied that he would
wonder why he had not tried to be-
come a citizen of Newberry himself.

BAPTIST WOMEN RAISE ss4,S77.
Alabama Leads in JudsOn Mission
Offering with 1925.

st. Louis, May 18.-The raising of
S34,877 for the Judson mission OF
.fering was the climax of the days
proceedings of the Southern Baptist
convention. The money was raised
by the Woman's Missionary Union at
a mass meeting at which only women
were present. Alabama led all the
States with a contribution of 1925.
During the services large number
of young women dressed in the cos
tunes of all the foreign countries in
which the Southern Baptists have mis-
sionaries marched into the auditorium
singing Gospel songs and bearing the
flags of the nations represented.
More than 400 sermons were
preached by visiting Baptists in the
various churches of st. Louis during
the day.
President E. C. Dargan, of Macon,
Ca, preached the sermon before the
Woman's Missionary Union at the
night meeting.
Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, Of Richmond,
Va, said concerning the missionary
funds raised that the Union soon
would be able to raise million dol
lars a year for missions. The Union
during the last year raised one-third
of the total amount of money for
missionary purposes reported to the
convention from all sources.
