Birds Are Decreasing.

Recently reports have appeared IN
different parts of the State TO the ef-
feet that birds of all kinds are decreas-
ing in number. We are not prepared
to say whether this be true in this par
ticular locality or not, but it is matter
of sufficient Importance or gravity 10
be looked into. The South is devoted
chiefly to agricultural pursuits ana
whatever preys upon growing crops IN
the form of pernicious insects costs
farmers an incalculable amount annu-
ally. Persons who are observing ana
who have made the matter a study say
these injurious insects are worse Where
insect-eating birds are fewest.
The promiscuous killing of harmless
birds, even when the law permits their
killing, should be discouraged. We need
more birds of this class-they are far
mers, best friend. In some sections OF
this county insects of some form are
njuring grain that has terminated,
and who knows but what this insect
pest is hourishing because of the ab-
sence or scarcity of some particular
birds that ordinarily feed upon this IN
sect at this season? Who knows but
that away back in the past when the
boil weevil started it might have been
held in check if some enemy among the
feathered tribe had been there in suf-
ficient numbers to feed upon it? If the
birds are really decreasing, other pests
NAV become menace to other
crops besides cotton.

Should Stand by Local Paper.

Nepapers always fight the mail order
houses and advocate trading at home.
Therefore, when a contract for print
ing of any kind is to be awarded by
individuals or municipality prefer
ence should be given to local newspa-
pers or printing offices. When news
paper advocates policies for the protec-
tion and promotion of the business in
terests of the community, certainly by
way of appreciation, if nothir more,
these business interests shou pursue
such "a policy in dealing with local news
papers. Itappears. though we are not
fully informed, that the people of
Batesburg or the Tri-County, Fair
management arranged for the boosting
of the fair with an out-of-town newspa-
per, leaving the local newspaper, which
had all along boosted the fair, "higE
and dry" Perhaps they have some
reason for such action, but we believe
that the money spent for advertising
or boosting the fair should have beer
paid to the local paper, which stands
by the local community and its interests
in season and out of season, through
fair weather and foul. In some way
too, it appears that portion of the
mailing list of the local paper was OBJ
tained and used. No newspaper that
is properly conducted Will ever give
out O. allow the use of its mailing list
A, mailing list costs the publisher money
1t is his steck-in-trade.
