South Carolina Hunting Laws.

Mr.. A. A. Richardson, chief
game warden of South Carolina,
has just asked The News to in
form its readers with regard to
the new game law passed by the
last South Carolina legislature.
1t seems that the sportsman
from this State runs risk of
arrest and heavy fine unless he
provides himself with a South
Carolina license before crossing
the border. These licenses cost
$15.25. This license is necessary
even though an invitation has
been extended by some South
Carolina landlord to come over
and hunt on his premises. A
violation of this license law on
the part of non-residents of
South Carolina is punishable by
a fine of from one hundred to
five hundred dollars.
Heretofore no license was re-
quired and those who received
invitations to cross the border
and go after game were at
liberty to do so. Now one must
consult the game warden or
clerk of court of any South Caro-
lima town and procure the neces-
sary license, that is unless he
cares to run the risk of heing
searched and seized as a game
law blockader. Charlotte News.

ISenhoWer Case Next Month.

Considerable interest surrounds
the famous Isenhower trial to be
heard in York next month when
the three men will be placed on
trial for their lives, charged
with the murder of Sheriff Hood
of Fairfield county, one of his
deputies. and a negro prisoner.
Some of the best legal talent in
this immediate section will be
engaged in the trial and it will
be hard-fought if present indi-
cations count for anything.
While there is great interest
at York, not many comments are
heard as to opinions on the guilt
or innocence of the three men
who are to be tried. Judge Rice,
who granted the application for
change of venue, will preside.

Charges Cotton Combine.

The national federal trade
commission Saturday ordered an
immediate investigation of an
alleged combination in North

among the cotton buyers to hold
down the price OF the staple. 1t

been divided and only one buyer
for each district, probably thus
killing competitive bidding.

Many Deaths While Trespassing.

Making plea for the con-
servation of human life, Presi-
dent Fairfax Harrison, of the
Southern Railway Company,
states that during the fiscal year,
ended June 80, lat trespassers
were killed on the tracks of
Southern Railway. Mr.. Harri-
son urges the development of a
public sentiment that will put an
end to the hazardous practice of
trespassing on railway property.
I'VE have prepared a map
showing the point at which each
trespasser was killed on the
Southern Railway during the
last year and it looks like map
of the monuments on the Chicka-
mauga battlefield" said Mr..
Harrison. Fully one-third of
those killed were school boys,
hopping trains, and a large
percentage were valuable wage
earners, walking on the tracks
to and from their work. Very
few were tramps in the common
ly accepted meaning of the term.
These figures refer solely to
persons walking on tracks,
swinging on trains, and other
wise intruding on railway prop
erty where they have no right
or business and do not include
persons killed at crossings or
those who for any reason have a
right or duty to go upon railway
property. :"

Fell Victim To a Russian
Warship, According To
Report.
AARASSED THE ALLIES
Passed English Blockade
and Was Active In the
Dardanelles.
(By Associated Press.)


LONDON, July 16.-The German
submarine U-51 has been sunk in the
Black Sea by a Russian warship. ac-
cording to information received from
varna, a Bulgarian port, on the Black
Sea, by an Athens correspondent.
The submarine U-51 gained fame by
eluding the British blockade and pass
ing through the straight OF Gibraltar.
It left Wilhelmshaven, the great Ger
man base, to operate against the al
Hes feet in the Dardanelles. and was
reported to have been successful in
its mission.
The U-51 has been credited with
sinking several vessels belonging to
the allies, including the British bat
t!eship Majestic The British blockad-
ing feet Of Gibralter was reported to
have been warned OF the approach or
the U-51, but failed to catch the un-
der%ater craft, which went TO Gibral-
ter and to the Dardanelles. where she
did much to prevent the allies war
phsPs from cooperating with land
forces on the Gallipoli peninsula.
Later the U-51 passed through the
sea OF Marmora and reported to the
German commander at Constanttnople.
r the report OF her destruction in the
Black Sea IS true she evidently went
to the Turkish capita! through the
Bosphorus probably to operate against
the Russian Black Sea feet.

Policeman Gets Man Who
Deserted Little Girl In

The exposure made by The West
Virginian concerning the girl called

Waltman has been placed in jail there
to await trial for stealing brass from
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and for skipping bail bond. IL
is understood that a preacher OF Con

A resident OF Conuel!sville who was

thing OF the gang. but was unwilling
to speak freely.
This statement concerning the girl
can possibly be explained. For the

band is guilty were committed while
she was under the influence OF the mar
cotic.
