Columbia, Oct. 23.-The day in the
Senate was largely consumed in con-
sideration Of the appropriation bill
for expenses Of the extraordinary ses-
sion, totaling approximately $780,
600.

$4,000 for immediate expenses at
State Hospital for the Insane. Sena-
tor Patterson, from Barnwell, who
is engaged in special work at the hos
pital moved that this amount be dou-
bled, claiming that 100000 would

was only three inches Of water in the

was lost by tabling, the committee
reporting that it had heard both the
superintendent and the chairman of
the board of regents, who agreed that
$4,000 would be sufficient
Another wrangle was precipitated

count Of last session. This was to
the amount Of $5,494.59, and was
eliminated from consideration at the

The way in which feathers and other

Of birds is welt known. The most famous
case is that quoted years ago by Dar-

This was that OF red-legged partridge,

its feet. After SofteninS the earth a mum

ways IN which birds may d!sperse seeds.

Bounties Paid in determination Cru
SADIE in Texas.

Down in the Texas panhandle, some
times referred to as the plains country.
the farmers have started a movement to
exterminate the jack rabbit in the interest
of the grain crops. The county comm.s-
sioners of Hale County have placed a
bounty of cents each on the rabbits
scalpe Several rabbit drives have been
held near Plainview, the county seat of
Hale County, and up to last New Years
Day there had been 5000 rabbits brought
in for the sake of the bounty upon their
heads. The choicest ones are sold to the
local produce companies for table use, at
8 cents apiece, and the ears are then
taken ito count" to claim the cents
bounty. The produce companies have
done a big business shipping the rabbits
away for food, and hundreds of those
not suited for such use have been bought
by farmers for hog feed.
Plainview is in the heart of what is
known as the shallow water belt' of the
plains country, where for several years
past such wonderful development has
been taking place.
