Of cheap cotton. There were only four

There is a lively political row on in
Columbia, and the probable outcome OF
1t will be a petition for an election on
which the people will vote on the recall
Of Mayor Griffith. The fight which has
been on for some weeks, has been grow
ing in intensity for the past six or scv-
Ell days and as the result of a large
delegation of citizens appearing before
the city council a few days ago, came
to a show down on Sunday The COM
plaint was against the tigers which OPP
crate so extensively in the city includ-
ing upper floors along Main street, and
the numerous gambling dens to be
found everywhere. OF course the pub
lie very we'll understands that the tig
ers and the gamblers have always been
common in Columbia, and as to wheth
er one claims that they are bolder or
more numerous now than during the
previous administration, or the admin
iS;ratiOn before that, probably depends
upon the political and social Sympa
thies Of the critic. 1t is fact that Co

There is a good deal Of talk among
the farmers about doing without com
mercial fertilizers next year. We have
heard such talk before, and as to how
much it will amount to we have oui
own opinion. But nevertheless we are
persuaded that for those who can pur-
sue it there is no better policy. The
greatest and cheapest source of fertil-
ity known to agriculture is humus
There is no humus in soil" Of brick
yard and nothing can be coaXed into
growing there without fertilizers OF
some kind. But even brickyard car
be coaxed into production, by little
stable manure and by long practiceo
system of turning under all the vegeta-
ton that is developed, the brickyaro
can be made as mellow as an ashbanR
and as fertile as an ideal garden. Fer
tility acquired in this way means some
thing for a long time, and it is much
more profitable in the long run than
anything that can be acquired by
means of commercial fertilizers.

HUNTING SEASON OPEN

Sunday was the opening day Of the
hunting season. or course no forF
county sportsman hunted on Sunday
but there were a very large number ou
Yesterday. Favorite pointers and set
ters and hounds as we'll have been very
much petted during the past few days
and yesterday there were numerous
sportsmen in various sections who tooE
advantage of the first legal opportunity
to shoot wild game.
A. A. Richardson, state game warden
in a statement given to the press yes
terday, says there Is an unusually large
number of partridges and other small
game this year Local dealers have
done a good business of late in regard
to the sale Of shot guns and ammuni-
ton, and according to reports OF q num-
ber of gentlemen who live in the coun-
try and who from force Of habit OBJ
serve during the year the number OF
partridges and rabbits, there promises
to be a sufficient supply Of the wild to
satisfy those who delight in spending
their holidays in such pursuit.
The Enquirer would say for the ben
eft Of the many persons who are not
familiar with the state law that there
are many restrictions and regulations
placed upon hunting in South Carolina,
Among the regulations are the follow
ing:
The Open Season.
The open season on deer begins on
September l, and continues until jan
uary /. AS to partridges and wild tur-
keys the open season commences on
November Is and continues until
March Is. The open season for doves
is now on, having commenced on Au-
gust Is. 1t will continue until March.
There is a law on the. state statute
which makes ii unlawful for any per-
son to cast abroad on any field or 9TH
er land, grain or other food as bait for
doves, for the purpose Of hunting doves
between March Is and December l.
For woodcock, the open season COM
mences September l and continues un-
til January; for willett, November l to
March / for wood ducks, September l
to March l: for grackle. October to
March /; violations of the closed sea-
son are punishable by fine Of $40 for
each bird killed or pursued.
Restrictions.
Among some Of the important pro-
visions of the hunting laws, according
to the code Of 1912, no person is allow
ed to kill more than 25 partridges, 25
doves, or two wild turkeys during any
one day during any one season. NO
person is allowed to hunt on lands OF
another without the owners consent;
and it is unlawful for persons to hunt
with fire by night This offense is pun
ishable by fine of not more than $40
for each bird killed during the night
SIS for each deer killed and $50 for
meat cattle or horse killed. 1t is also
unlawful for persons to trap partridges
except on his own lands, only by the
special permission Of the owner of the
lands. No person is allowed to sell or
offer for sale either doves on par
tridges.

open than during the present munich
pal administration. AS the result Of
the blow-up now in progress, orders
have gone out that the tigers and the
gambling dens must shut up shop. and
the administration has undertaken a
strict enforcement of all the laws re-
lating to business and labor on Sun
day, even to the sale Of Sunday news
papers. EX-mayor Gibbs, who was de-
feated by Mayor Griffith. the present
head of the city administration, is
looked upon by the Griffith people as
being behind the agitation: but Gibbs
denies that he is concerned for any
thing beyond the enforcement of the
laws and states that under no circum-
stances will he be a candidate for the
mayoralty in the event of the recall of
Mayor Griffith.

President Wilson is said to be pretty
well overwhelmed with applications fol
places by Democratic lame-ducks who
lost out in the recent congressional
elections. The defeated congressmer
have the plea that they lost their posi-
tions because of their loyalty to the
president in remaining at Washington
to help carry out administration poll
cies instead of going home and looking
after their own interests. That the
president will do the best he can for all
of his friends goes without saying; but
he will hardly have enough offices to
go around.

business that the extreme fluctuations
in interest rates and available credits
which have characterized banking In

The greatest problem now confront
ing the financial world is the probable
effect of the opening Of the New York
and London stock exchanges. The ex-
changes were closed almost immedi-
ately on the outbreak of the great
war. The reason for their closing was
the fact that it was regarded as i'm
possible to take care of the hundreds
of millions of dollars worth Of stocks
and bonds that would be inevitably Of
fered for sale during the first few de-
moralizing weeks Of the war. In the
first place the gold was not to be had.
In the second place If the gold had
been available, the holders Of it, espe-
than securities, at anything like the
prices prevailing before the develop
ment Of the disturbance. The chan
nels. through which ordinary bills of
exchange pass having also been par
alyzed, there was no way by which
even American securities held abroad
could be taken over by American pur-
CnaserS. Ii is not difficult to under
stand the temporary depreciation 10
which most American securities have
been subject because Of the war. Then
how much less difficult it is to appre-
late the still heavier temporary depre-
citation Of the value Of the securities
based upon enterprises having their
homes in any Of the countries now at
war. And with possible developments
so uncertain at the breaking out of the
war, how much more uncertain at the
present time? The par value of Amer
lean securities that are compelled to
seek a market because Of the war run
lp into sill Licner bill!o' s. Then what
the result of the opening OF the eX-
changes Is going to be no man knows.
1t is reasonably certain that Ameri-
can securities will bring better pro-
portionate prices than foreign securi-
ties, and as prices Of securities will
depend so largely upon the amount of
gold available for their purchase. 1t is
impossible to predict the outcome OF
the acid test that will develop with the
opening Of the exchanges.

1t was grim place to look at, this

war had swept it twice. A broad waste
of level land lay between it and the
prosperous american city. and across

machine guns had twice moved, lay
the huddle of low houses which

CHAPTER v.

The journey to Fortuna is Q scant
fifty miles by measure, but within
these eight kilometers there is a lapse
of centuries in standards. AS Bud and
De Lancey rode out of battle-scarred
Aqua Negra they travelled a good road,
well worn by the Mexican wood-wag-
ons that hauled in mesquit from the
hills. Then, as they left the town and
the wood roads scattered, the highway
changed by degrees to a broad trail,
dug deep by the feet Of pack-animals
and marked but lightly with wheels. 1t
followed along the railroad, cutting
over hills and down through gulches,
and by evening they were in the heart
OF Old Mexico.
Here were men In sandals and wom-
en- barefoot; chickens tied up by the
legs outside Of brush jacales; long
nosed hogs, grunting nercely ~ they
skirmished for food: and half-naked
children, staring like startled rabbits

They play the devil with the best

That's what makes all the trouble
down here between man and man, its
these women and their ways. They're

De Lancey. These Indian women up
in the Sierras wouldn't turn anybody's

kissed his fingers ecstatically-'I'll be
glad to see 'em myself! But listen,
Bud, here's the proposition. let's take

We'll, shake on 1t, them" insisted
De Lancey. holding out his hand.
"Oh, Sally!" burst out Bud, hanging
his head in embarrassment, what's
the use of getting mushy?"

in his saddle and locked hands with .

II was through such land that Phil
and Hooker rode on their gallant
ponies, leading = pack-animal we'll
loaded with supplies from the north
and as the people gazed from their
miserable novels and saw their outfit
they wondered at their wealth.
But if they were moved to envy. the
bulk of heavy pistol, showing through
the swell OF each coat, discouraged
them from going farther; and the cold.
searching look of the tall cowboy as
he ambled past stayed in their men,
ory long after the pleasant "Adios!"
Of De Lancey had been forgotten.
Americans were scarce in those
days. and what few came by were rid
ing to the north. How bold, then, must
this big man be who rode in front
and certainly he had some great re-
ward before him to risk such horse
among the revoltosos! So reasoned
the simple-minded natives of the noun
tains, gazing in admiration at Copper
Bottom, and for that look in their eyes
Bud returned his forbidding stare.
There is something about a good
horse that fascinates the average Mex
ican-perhaps because they breed the
finest themselves and are in a position
to judge-but Hooker had developed
romantic attachment for his trim little
chestnut mount and he resented their
wide-eyed gapings as a lover resents
glances at his lady. This. and frontier
education, rendered him short-spoken
and gruff with the paisanos and it was
left to the cavalier De Lancey to do
the courtesies OF the road.
As the second day wore on they
dipped down into a rocky canyon. with
huge cliffs of red and yellow sandstone
glowing in the slanting sun, and soon
they broke out into a narrow valley,
well wooded with sycamores and mes
quits and giant blackberry trees.
The shrill toots Of a dummy engine
came suddenly from down below and
q mantle of black smoke rose majes-
tically against the sky-then, at a turn
of the trail. they topped the last hill
and Fortuna lay before them.
In that one moment they were set
back again fifty miles-clear back
across the line-for Fortuna was
American. from the power-house on
the creek bank to the mammoth con-
centrator on the hill.
All the buildings were of stone,
square and uniform. First a central
plaza, f1anked with Offices and ware
houses; then behind them barracks
and lodging houses and trim cottages
in orderly rows; and over across the
canyon loomed the huge bulk of the mill
and the concentrator with its aerial
tramway and endless row Of gliding
buckets.
Only on the lower hills. where the
rough country rock cropped up and
nature was at its worst, only there did
the real Mexico creep in and assert It.
