MIGRATORY BIRD LAW.

'po''Siiitit NaFHCu mat fcucral RcE-
uiations for Protection of Will
Fowl Must be Obscrvcd-Opcn Sea-
Sons for Shooting.
With the approach of the open sea-
son for shooting wild fowl the depart
ment is warning sportsmen that the
federal regulations as amended Oc-
tober l, 1914, will be strictly enforc-
ed. Some misunderstanding has aris-
en- from the fact that the various
state laws do not always conform to
the federal regulations. This is re-
garded as unfortunate, but in such
cases the department must insist up-
on the observance of the federal reg
ulations.
The department will consider any
recommendations submitted i'm good
faith for amendment of the regula-
tions, but will hold no public hearings
thereon, nor will it amend the regu-
latiOns prior to October Is. 1915. 1t
is the purpose to conform the regu-
lations to the wishes of the majority
OF sportsmen SO far as it can be done
and at the same time give wild fowl
the necessary protection.
Federal regulations divide the Unit
ed States into two zones. Zone No.
/, the breeding zone, includes the
States of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and
all States north of them. Zone No.
=, the wintering zone, includes all
States south of those named.
The regulations prescribe seasons
as follows:
Open Seasons for Migratory Birds in
1918 Under Federal Regulations.
Waterfowl for South Carolina. No
vember 2O-February 16.
Rails, coots, gallinul s, September

Woodcock, November 1-January 1.
Shore birds (black- breasted and
golden plover, jacksnipe, yellow-legs)

ruary /.
Insectivorous birds protected indefi-
mtely. Band-tailed pigeons, cranes,
swans, curlew, and smaller shore birds
protected until September 1, 1918:
wood ducks in Kansas and West Vir-
glnia, rails and wood ducks in Cali
fornia, and woodcock in Missouri are
also protected until September l,

INSPECrS RESTAURANTS.
Board OF Health Appoints Committee

In compliance with n resolution of
the boad Of health at it's last meeting
committee consisting of DR.. II. X.
Littlejohn, j. A. Mcknight and Geo.
ID. Levy visited the white restaurants
in the city yesterday, making an in
spectiOn Of them and reporting their
findings for publication. The effort
Of the board OF health is to keep all
restaurants in a cleanly and sanitary
condition. This committee will in
spect all OF the restaurants and no.
tells in the city from time to time and
make public their reports. The col
Ored restaurants were not inspected
yesterday, but will he later.
AS a result Of their finding yester-
day the committee reports the Dixie
Cafe as coming first in cleanliness,
such as even to warrant the highest
commentator of the committee, only
two minor defects having been dis
covered. The other restaurants visit
ed, came i'm the following order, I'm
perial Cafe. Charles Cafe, and New
York Restaurant and Cafe. None of
these were in nearly so good condi-
tion. I'm the opinion of the committee
as was the Dixie Cafe.

see If the restaurants and cafes hav
made the improvements suggested b.,
them and will ut that time again re

to 1.

There was a large bunch of fans
out yesterday to see the final game of
the season in which the Gamecocks
were to go up against the fast In
dian team from Nebraska The Red
Skins team was composed Of husky
FELLOWS, long experienced in baseball,
and with a string of victories this
season long enough to envelope the
Russian forces now on hike to
Petrograd. That the home boys held
them to two runs up to the final in

ball that they were playing, and they
made the native Americans play at
top speed from the time the first ball
was pitched until Tupper famed for
the final out.

not. however, until he had taken
squint at each batter as he came up,
for according to Horse, all Indians
looked alike to him. There is one
thing certain, neither Indians nor Po-
lar bears can get a Sleeps goat, SO
when the big boys from Bryan's grape
Juice State came Up to take a crack
the mill sShonYN,
made juice on the ball, and let 'sr
slide. Nine safeties was all that they
could count, and at that two of them
should have been fielded, and, even
II the game did go the wrong way,
the fault cannot be laid at the door
OF Sumter's two-piece menagerie
Those Indian boys were some foxy
fellows, and that they scored before
the ninth inning was due to the fact
that they were some artists in block
ing the throw from second to COM
plete a double play. Twice in one
inning they pulled that stunt, and
and twice more during the game
they repeated 1t, just to show the To-
calls that they had not forgotten the
trick. 1t was done cleverly, and there
was no chance for His Umps to see
any criminal intent.
Sweet Grass, who did the receiving
for the Indians. was the hitting star
of the game. Out of four trips up,
he pasted two triples over left field
fence. and got single for good meas
ure; but he never scored. When he
hit, there was no other cue for a
s'-mp necessary. The Indians could
NOT bring him across The pan, al
though his final clot counted one run
ahead OF him in the nnal inning.
Tho locals could do nothing with
Cleghorn's delivery. The first three
men up famed, and during the entire
game two doubles by Spann and
O'Neal and two singles by Drevenstedt
and Mabry was all that was doing in
the hitting line. However the visit
ors did some sensational fielding, and
on three occasions when the scorer
was ready to register hit, an Indian
cut it off. 1t was great game, and
a fitting one TO close q good season
with.

HEAVY DOCKET FOR THE
NEXT CRIMINAL COURT
JAIL is NOW FULL OF PRIS.
ONERs AWAITING
TRAIL
MURDER CASES UP
Several Matters of Serious Ma
ture Are to be Threshed
Out-Court May 10.
MURDER CASES UP

The next term of the court OF gen.
eral sessions for Anderson county will
be convened Monday May 10, and,
Judging from the appearance of the
docket at this time, will be one of
the busiest terms that has been held
since the new circuit was creaed
With the date of the convening of
the session a month ofIl the county
jail is already full almost to over
flowing with prisoners awaiting trial.
How many will be added To- this num-
ber by the time court convenes, re-
mains to Se seem. OF course, but !. Is
reasonable to suppose that the
colony" will be increased by several
souls before court ween arrives.
There are a number of rather SER
ious cases scheduled for trial, one of
the most important of WHICH Is the
case OF the young white man who was
brought to jail several weeks ago from
Pelzer on charges of having murder
ed his wife by almost severing her
head with a razor. following a qua.-
rel they arc said to have had The
man, 1t will be recalled, slashed his
own throat following the attack upon
his wife, anG for several days his lfic
was despaired of by the attending
physician. The man has fully recov-
cred, and will be ready for trial when
| court .convenes.
There are several other murder
cases for trial. besides a large num-
Der Of defendants who are charged
with offenses OF minor nature, more
or less. 1t Is confidently predicted
that the court will last for the full
two weeks allotted for the term, and
that even with that some matters will
have to be carried over to future
sessions.
