In another column of this issue an
pears the new game law. published
under authority from the state. AS
stated in former issue of this paper.
test case of the dove law is now pend
ing and the warden has stated that
citizens might shoot doves in this coun-
ty until the test case is decided By the
supreme court and that there might be
no fears of prosecution by him. There
is no chance for the higher court TO
pass on this test case before the end
of the present dove season and there
fore the public is privileged to shoot
doves this season just as in former
seasons without fear of molestation.
1t might be noted that the quail season
opens this year December Is instead Of
November Is and we are wondering
what our legislators could have meant.
The commissions of F. B. Norman,
w. S. Lstta and w. T. Loggins as com
missioners of election for Fayette coun-
ty have been received and the new Of
ficisls have taken the oath of Office,
but up to Thursday morning no meet
ing has been held to organize the new
board. A meeting is necessary at q
very early date to appoint registrars
for districts one, four and eight, where
the Australian ballot system applies.
Aliregistratien certificates expire on
August "a Of this year and the law re-
quires ten days registration to be
held beginning August 3 and continue
ing to August Is. All voters in the
districts named must register during
this time or at the supplemental regis
tratiOn which will be held just before
each election. The certificates that will
be issued next month are good in any
election in this county up to August "a.
1919. at which time the neat general
registration will be held.

suffering from the drouth which is Of
more than three weeks duration now.
The excessive heat of the past two
weeks and the continuous winds have
rapidly depleted the moisture supply so
that many crops are suffering. this be-
ing particularly true of old corn which
has been reported so promising. Late
gardens. too, are drying up for want of
rain. Cotton has not suffered.
Not withstanding the hard winter on
cover crops last year and the heavy
losses Fayette county farmers sustained
in that line, The Falcon hears with
pleasure from Demonstration Agent
Moffatt that the acreage planted to
winter oats, wheat. crimson clover,
burr clover, vetch, rye, etc., this year
will far exceed that planted last year.
We are glad to hear this, for since the
winter-killing of these crops last year
we have feared a small planting this
season.
1t was learned from Chairman w.
C. Reeves of the county board of edu-
cation this week that the public schools
of this county will open for the sum-
mer term on August Is, this late date
being fixed SO as to give teachers
standing the recent examination time
to hear from their grades and receive
certificates from thu state superintend-
ent's office. This date is somewhat
later than has been customary and was
made necessary as stated. The high
school in Somerville opens on September
Is as stated elsewhere in this issue.
The first load of water melons of the
present season was brought to town by
John and Tom Montgomery on Saturday
July IL and the second load on last
Saturday, the Is, by Will Tatum. The
size is below the average for this sea-
son, the dry weather having cut the
growth short and caused ripening soon
er than if moisture had been abundant
The quality was up to the average.
Blu. growers thruout the section tell US
that the early crop Of melons, cante-
loupes and water melons, will be much
less than last year unless rains now re-
leve the situation and bring about i'm
provement.
The city and property owners on west
street have just completed concrete
walk on the east side of that thorofare
from the corner of North. Marginal
north to the north corner of the properly
of James w. Havercamp and it is quite
an addition to that part of the city.
There has never been a walk on that
street on the east side until now, and
this one, The Falcon hears, was placed
on the east side for the reason that
property owners on that side would
bear their share of the cost of the walk
and some of those on the west side of
the street would not join with those
who were willing to bear their part.
In has been the custom for property
owners to bear half the cost of the
walk in front of their property, and |
that is what was asked on that street. |

HIS HEAD IN SHARKS MOUTH
Black Diver Claims to Have Had Re-.
markable Experience With Sea
Monster.

Writing in Harpers Magazine of his
visit to Thursday island in the Torres
strait, Norman Duncan narrates some
astonishing tales of the adventures
of the natives with the savage tiger
sharks Of these waters:
1T is said that the coastal aborigine
is not greatly afraid of a shark-that
he is match for a shark, indeed in
fair water, when not taken unaware.
He may lose leg or an arm or he
may be carried off bodily; but in any
event the damage will be due rather
to the cunning approach of the shark
than to the limitations of the diver
Fairly warned, he will dive to the bot
tom, roll the water, and thus elude
the attack; and If he is pugnaciously
disposed at the moment (they say)-
II the shark impolitely interrupts him
at critical or deeply interested mo-
ment-he will give fight. 1t is true,
Of course, that the naked divers are

by an untimeiy interruption.
Il recall two stories Of narrow es-
cape. The one concerns young Jap
anese diver who was taking a crayfish
to the surface, and all at once found
himself in a furious engagement. 1t
was incautious of the diver to have q
crayfish; and this indiscreet diver
came out of the consequent encounter
with a lacerated thigh and one arm
missing. The other story is hardly

and distracted, close to the reef in
search OF slugs, awoke all at once to
an amazing situation. 1t was not that
the shark was near-not that it had
turned and was darting; but that his
head was actually in the sharks wide
open mouth. The black boy acted
sharply; he withdrew his head in
flash, having at the same time
