Game Warden j. P. Moore was call.
ing on those who had been shooting
doves few days ago collecting 81 from
each one for resident shooters license
for one year. This is RECRUITMENT I'M
der the new law and most of those who
had been hunting paid the 81 without
protest. The warden says he expects
to visit every hamlet in the county soon
for the purpose of collecting this fee
from hunters, the amount paid goes to
the school fund of the county in which
collected. We have no kick on this law
and have paid our dollar along with
others here.
At the ripe old age of eighty one
years Mrs. Harriet Mccartney Farris
died a few days ago at her
home in Whiteville. She was
the widow of the late Washington
Farris of the fifteenth district of this
county and was the mother of M. l..
and j. C. Farris, both of this city. In
terment was at Bethany cemetery on
July %, the day following her death.
Besides the two sons mentioned there
were a number of other children sur
viving. The Falcon has been promised
more detailed sketch of the life of
the deceased for next issue.
The new dog law is creating einterest
in all parts of the county. There is an
indication general thruout the county
that the new law will be pretty well
observed, few declaring, however,
that they propose to ignore the law and
let their dogs run at large. But this
kind we find always when law is
passed which interferes with their Gus
toms. The dog law is good one and
its enforcement will go further toward
increasing the game in this country
than any shooters limitations that
could be made. Dogs-hounds, ours,
and all others destroy more birds in
ty each year than hunters kill.
The last rain that visited this section
came four weeks ago Wednesday night,
that is on June 80, and added to the
long time without rain the greater part
of this period has been extremely hot
weather, hotter than is usually seen
here, and constant winds have been
drying the earth of its moisture so that
few spells in the history of this section
have wrought greater damage to vege.
tatior including al growing crops. A
month ago saw in his section the most
promising corn crop seer here in forty
years, but this corn has injured terribly
from the long drowth, so that at best
only an average crop will be made.
Cotton has not suffered as much.

is good average and proves that Hay

in place of SO much cotton, they will
find our soil good for almost anything. :

END
CHICAGO STRIKE

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The strike of
$4,000 carpenters which has tied up
millions of dollars worth of building
operations in Chicago since last April,
was called off today A committee of
carpenters, after an all night meeting
with representatives of the contrac-
tors association, signed a three-year
agreement calling for 20 cents an hour
for carpenters-the wage for which
the men went on strike.
In making the agreement. the union
waived the demand for further ad-
vances in wages in the next three
years. The increase from IS cents to
70 cents an hour, labor leaders de-
clared, was their chief contention.
The representatives Of the men also
agreed to the peace plan which will
prevent strike or lockout during the
next three years. This was a conces-
sion on the part of the union, which
has been fighting against this provis-
ion In working agreements.
The end of the carpenters strike
will result in the resumption of work
by nearly 100000 building trades
workmen.

At LAST REPLY

British Official Says Ans
wer Unsatisfactory in
Light of Wilson's Former
Stand.

LONDON, July 1O.-British expecta-
lions is that the United States will
find the German reply to its appeal
for humanity in submarine war fare
completely unsatisfactory. The text
of the note arrived here today too late
for the morning papers but the even
ing editions displayed it prominently
They declared German has pointedly
ignored the demand of the American
government that merchant vessels be
stopped and searched instead of being
sunk
"This one point alone said an Of
fetal today. lis enough to make the
reply worthless. 1t is apparent that
Germany is seeking to bargain with
United States. From the previous ac-
lions of the American government we
know how successful the Berlin for
eign office will be.
That part of the note relating to
the Lusitania requires no comment.
The liner was sunk by torpedoes and
not by the explosion of ammunition
on board. She was unarmed
Germany seems to have overlooked
the fact that the American govern
ment is acting for all humanity and
not for America alone The suggest
ion that America report the coming
and going of her ships to Germany is
preposterous 1t will meet with the
scorn it deserves"

TRUSTEE TO EVADE
SCHOOL HACK LAW

A method by which trustees may
evade the ruling of the state board of
accounts ordering that school hacks
cannot be operated in school districts
where a school has never been aban-
doned, has been suggested George
Crull, trustee OF Washington town
ship, probably will be the first to take
advantage of it.
The trustees will take the stand that
hacks are necessity, will take regu-
lar legal proceedings to dissolve
school districts where the new ruling
will require the discontinuance of
hack service. The districts can be re-
organized again Immediately and it
can then be said they were in a
position to operate the hacks legally
Trustee Edgerton of Wayne town
ship, said today he probably will not
take advantage of this method Of
evasion, but will continue in his ef-
forts to reduce the number of school
hacks from seven to three. There
may be slight changes in the school
districts to prevent the possibility of
children walking too far to school next
winter

AFRICAN VICTORY

PRETORIA, July 1O.-Onficial an
nouncement was made here today that
1870 Germans, of whom 204 were Of
ficers, surrendered to the British army
of General Louis Botha. which now
completely dominates German South
west Africa. General Botha's forces
captuerd thirty-seven field guns and
twenty-five machine guns.

separate colony.
General Botha reports that the terms
of surrender were signed at Kilometre
500 Station, on the railway line be-
tween Octavi and Khorab. The Ger

ANOTHER FIRE ON
SHIP MINNEHAHA

HALIFAX. July 1O-Fire broke out
again today in hold No. of the
British steamer Minnehaha Clouds of
smoke were followed by a burst OF
flame and the hatch had to be batten-
ed down while tons of water were
poured on the fire.
Only the fact that the forward
matches kept the fire on board the
Atlantic transport liner Minnehaha
within holds No and No. 4 prevented
the complete destruction of the British
liner at sea, according to one of her
officers. This officer said today:
How Blaze Started.
IF the flames had eaten through
the forward matches it would have
been all up with us. The cattle deck
stretches the whole length of the ship
and once the flames had made their
way up through the chances of saving
the ship would have been lost
With her sides still smoking hot
and with smoke and steam still filling
the holds where the fire originated
from a mysterious explosion. the Min
nehaha left her anchorage at quaran-
tine early and anchored opposite the
government steamship terminals.
Lighters were dashed alongside and
soon stevedores were at work trans
ferring her cargo. which consists

ASK AN INCREASE
OF SALOON LIMIT
Attorneys Argue That City
Under Law is Entitled to
Two Additional Saloons.

An old ghost which has confronted
prospective saloon keepers of Rich
mond for many years has arisen again.
1t is in the form of divided precinct,
part of which is in the city and part
In Wayne township.
Attorney Kelley and Attorney John
son said they would undertake to
prove that Richmond was entitled to
two more saloons. A year ago, fifty.
nine were operating. Six have gone
out of business, several through the
hands of receiver. There are now
fifty-three valid licenses on which
saloons are being operated.
The attorneys, asking the licenses
for their clients, cited the vote of 5,555
in the 1913 general elections. County
Attorney Hoelscher asked for proof as
to the number which should be deduct
ed on the split precinct. The attor-
neys said they will ascertain the cor
rect number in the next week. If this
number does not exceed fifty-five
voters, two more licenses will be
granted. If it exceeds 155 voters. the
city will be entitled to no more
licenses under the state law.

MARK EIS
new WHEAT SELLS
ON CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, July 10.-There were
losses OF A@2Ac in the wheat market
today with an almost complete rever-
sal of conditions late when compared
with those arely in the day. The sell
ing was largely by longs and was
brought about in a sense by the arri-
val OF fifty cars OF new wheat at st.
Louis, and the decline there OF SEN
sational character. 1t was reported to-
day that nearly all southwestern states
were asking bids for new wheat for i'm
mediate shipment. This shows that all
that is needed at the moment for a
free movement of wheat is favorable
weather. Corn closed Is @ &c lower.
and oats were off A@5sc. There
were the largest sales OF heavy meat
here today reported in many weeks
1t is believed these meats are for
shipment abroad Provisions were on
sharply in price and the continued H.
quotation by holders.
