.SPORTSMFN'S AID SOUGHT
AGAINST FOREST FIRES
CareIeSsness of Hunters and Fishermen
Responsible FOR Many fires

Because Of the fact that many forest
fires are set through the carelessness Of
hunters, campers and Others who go
into the woods for recreation, the forest
service has taken up with manufacturers
of firearms and ammunition the question
of a cooperative arrangement through
which purchasers and users Of guns
and cartridges shall be reminded OF the
fire danger.
1t has been pointed out that in the
lumber regions Of the northwest, for
example, manufacturers and other bust
ness men have been having printed or
stamped on their stationery and pay
checks various crisp, catchy statements
about the loss which the public suffers
through the decreased demand for labor
and decreased money in circulation if
timber, which is the source Of many Of
the northwest's industries, is burned up.
1t has also been pointed out that in
the east particularly many forest fires are
started by the carelessness of hunters,
who drop burning matches, cigar or
cigarette stumps, or pipe Goals in the
woods, or perhaps build fire which is
left burning when the hunter goes on.
Forest fires of course greatly injure the
interests of sportsmen by robbing the
birds Of their proper cover. They also
impair the food supply of both birds and
big game, through the destruction Of
the underground which furnishes browse
berries, and other food.
The eastern woods are exposed to
the danger from fires principally in the
spring and fall, when most of the trees
are bare and the leaves on the ground
are dry. The spring fires, many OF
which are due to trout fishermen, may
destroy the eggs Of game birds and
even the young birds themselves.
Since trout fishermen are likely to hunt
in the fall, the same individuals, if care
less, may be source Of danger at both
seasons.
1t is suggested that the manufac-
turers OF arms and ammunition ought to
be sufficiently interested in the matter
of perpetuatson of game to be willing
to help in the campaign against forest
fires. This help may come through
the printing of some brief fire warning
on cartridge boxes or some slip 10 go
with any hunting or camping supplies
which are furnished. Several manu-
facturers have already expressed their
interest in the matter and their willing
ness to help.

ITCHING ECZEMA is DRIED

Constant or intermittent irritation

For many years bOld-Sulphur

WILLIAM c. ERWIN Il COMPANY.
Former "WaIhalla Boy Now Head
of Big Chicago Firm.

The following item clipped from
the April % issue of THE Price Cur
rent Grain Reporter" (Chitago,)
will be Of interest to many people in
Walhalla and OcOnee, as well as
numbers in various States. w. G..
Erwin, the gentleman at the head Of
the firm Of w. G. Erwin & Co is a
former "Walhalla boy" being a son
Of the late VIM. f. Erwin, who was
so well and favorably known all over
upper South Carolina. We quote:

Among those grain and provision
firms locating their new Offices in
the Webster Building is that Of w.
c. Erwin & Co. This is an Old, we'll
established firm. w. G.. Erwin, the
been identified with the Chicago
grain trade for twenty years. His
home was formerly in Richmond, Va,
and he boasts of South Carolina as
his birthplace. His large %acquaint-
anceship in Southern and South
eastern territory, his wide knowledge
Of the characteristics Of Southerne~s,
coupled with his complete under
standing Of the grain business, make
his transactions with his big trade in
that territory very pleasant indeed.
1t is somewhat unusual to find a
shipper of grain into Southern terri
tory, transacting a good business,
without some complaint, but Mr..
Erwin reports smooth sailing all the
time.
The business Of w. G.. Ervin & Co.
covers all grain. The company
makes a speciality of white corn for
milling purposes, sulphured and
natural oats. These sales are largely
for home consumption, although of
course some are executed for export
through Atlantic seaboard markets.
Mr.. Ervin's broad and conservative
view OF the grain business lends
weight to his comment relative to
changes in the tariff law. He
doubts seriously if this county will
' 'S'p poi llCuIdI pIOll from the
tarif reduction on oats, or through
subsequent lifting of the tariff on
wheat by Canada.
A printed announcement was ad-
dressed to customers of w. c. Erwin

TIE VERA CRUZ PRISON,
Recently Taken Over by Americans,
FOuIeSt on Continent.


Fletcher's decision, announced yes
terday, to rem9ve Immediately all
prisoners from the fortress of San
Juan de Ulua, known for centuries
as perhaps the foulest prison on the
American continent, came after an
inspection had been made by Com
mander IL. O. Stickney, inspector of
the port and the customs, who occu-
pied the place, and by officers espe-
cially detailed for the work. This
prison, constructed in the form of
an island in the harbor, held more
than 400 prisoners, 800 of whom al
ready have been released or trans
ferred to other prisons.
The inspection by the American
authorities verified tales that had
been written and told for genera
lions Of the terrible conditions pre-
v~ailing there. Many dungeons were
below the water line when the tide
was running in, at which time the
inmates, many Of whom were half
blind on account Of their long incar-
ceratiOn in Semi-darkness, were
drenched. Other dungeons were so
constructed that it was impossible for
the victims to lie down. Ancient de-
vices Of torture were discovered and
there was evidence that these re-
Gently had been in use.
Among those held in confinement
were men once OF prominence, but
whose names o almost have been
forgotten; men who had been there
so long that their minds were blank,
and men so e%nfeebled by treatment
they had received as to insure their
transfer to hospitals instead of to
prisons.

NAVY TURNS OVER TO ARMY.
Gen. Funston Now in Command at
Vera Cruz-Cheercd by Mexicans.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, April 30.-The
task of guarding the city of Vera
Cruz and its environs was taken over
from the navy to-day by Brig. Gen.
Frederick Funston and the Fifth In

While martial law still continues

Mexican laws.
After a morning enlivened by the
marching to and fro OF large bodies
of American soldiers, sailors and ma
rires, the city resumed it's normal
and somewhat sleepy daily life. The
evening, however, was made gay by
outdoor dinner parties at the cafes
and restaurants, accompanied by mu-
sic and sometimes by dancing.
The American troops began their

at an early hour in the morning. Be
fore noon all had marched to their
posts in various parts of the city and
outlying suburbs.
Natives Amazed.
AS the various detachments swung
into the streets, their flags flying and
with bands playing martial airs, lead
ing them, the natives appeared on
their balconies or came out nto the
sidewalks and gazed with undisguis-
ed wonder at the solid ranks of
brown-clothed men. The people
seemed to marvel at the precision of
the American soldiers movement
and their sturdy appearance.
Shortly after the last of the troops
had passed through the central
streets of the city Brig. Gen. Fun
ston, with several aides, drove by in
a carriage and was greeted with an
Cutburst of applause.
When the men had taken up their
stations and the reports had been re-

calls were exchanged between Rear
