FEW LICENSES YET
TAKEN BY HUNTERS
GAME WARDEN M'MATH STATES
THIS YEARS RECEIPTS FROM
GAME LICENSES FAR BEHIND
THOSE OF LAST YEAR.

Sumter county hunters are slow in
securing permits this year
The game season opened yesterday
when the shooting of doves became
permissible under the terms of the
Georgia game law, but County Game
Warden w. T. McMath stated today
very few licenses had been procured
at his Office.
There are number of sportsmen
here who, it is known, object to kill
ing doves, especially in wheat fields,
which are in measure "baited" by
reason of the ripening grain affording
excellent feeding places for the birds,
and this probably accounts for the
failure Of many hunters to secure
censes with the opening of the 81
son. Before the shooting of partridgc
and other game birds is permitted,
however, it is anticipated that the
usual number of licenses will be is
sued here.

the required fee and secured licenses

A movement to compile and pre-

work of compiling the names of these

to make the list a most complete one.
Some time ago there was compiled
a roster of those who had gone from
this county into the various branches
of service, and this will form the
nucleus of the complete list to be got
ten together by the committee The
rames of those who have gone
through operation of the selective
draft law, as well as those who vol

in the roster and as the names 0T all
draftees can be secured from the local

ATLANTA, August 2-Dr. L. S.
Ledbetter, campaign manager for
VIM J. Harris, candidate for United
States senator, today gave out the
following statement from Harris
headquarters here:
THE situation in the senatorial
race has now simmered down in al
most every county in Georgia to q
straight out and out contest between
VIM. J. Harris and Senator Hardwick.
"Mr. Harris has already spoken
this week in Troup, Heard, Carroll
and Coweta counties. In each
them he has not only had large and
enthusiastic meetings, but in every
instance has received the assurance
from leading citizens that the prop
osition with which they were most
concerned was the defeat of Senat
Hardwick; and that finding Harris
the leading candidate against Mr..
Fardwick, they had determined to
center upon him and give him the
vote of the county.
Every day friends are coming
iEto headquarters and letters are pill
ing up from every section of the state
informing us that the loyal citizens
of their county are recognizing the
futiIity of the efforts of all the other
candidates and are centering upon
Mr. Harris as the one certainty f
beat Senator Hardwick overwhelm-
ingIy
'Unquestioned evidence of this sit
uslion comes also through polls of
the two houses of the legislature in
which our friends assure us that over
rs per cent of the house of represen-
tatives and 80 per cent of the state
senate are for Mr.. Harris, and EXPIRE
the strong belief he will carry their
counties. This information is in di-
rect line with the polls which have
been recently taken first of the news
papers of the state, then of the chair
men of the county democratic exc
cutive committees, and finally by a
we'll known Atlanta business man in
which it was found in one poll tha
in 85 counties Mr.. Harris was the
strongest candidate against Mr. Har
wick, and in another, 1t was decls
ed he was the strongest in 1OS, viii
the third poll showed that he W
leading in 80 counties. The majority
of the remaining counties were not
given to the other candidates, but put
in the doubtful column, indicating a
strong possibility also of Mr.. Harris
carrying them against Mr.. Hardwick.

General Burleson by his highbred re-
mark in the house that the attack
made on that official by Mr.. Miller Of
Minnesota "is the inevitable result Of
low breeding and the commonest kind Of
mind" Doubtless Mr.. Miller is severe
and partisan, but there are some facts
about the postal service that can't be

Pennsylvania that the postal service
to American soldiers abroad was bad,
VIGOROUSLY bad," because ssthe post

mails to their final destination when
they get to the other side" 4

CHATTER REMINDS OF SURF
Diner Wakes Poetic in Describing His
Impressions of Ordinary Res
taurant Cable.

"In the big and busy restaurant
where 1 dine" said Mr.. F1ickerton, II
am reminded constantly of the surf
that breaks along a. stretch of ocean
shore; not the heavy, smashing,
pounding that m when the rollers
are storm driven, but the gentler ris-
ing and falling, more nearly droning,
sound of the surf in fair weather; the
restaurant surf, of course, being the
sound that arises from the combina-
ton of the voices of many people
briskly talking.
"The likeness Of this sound to surf
might not strike you until there came
a general lull in the hum of conversa-
ton.
"On the shore the surf seems to
break continually, endlessly it is al
ways curling and tumbling, seemingly
necessarily; but as a matter of fact
there comes now and then a time when
by mere chance no wave breaks within
immediate hearing, when the sound of
the surf dies down f; and it is precisely
like that with the table surf in a
restaurant.
"There are times in the restaurant
when, by the merest chance in the
world, everybody, or almost every
body, stops talking at the same time,
when the vocal surf dies away almost
completely, and the restaurant is prac-
tically still, as the shore is when the
waves cease to break.
Like the surf, it always seems to
me-. Did it ever strike you that way?"

RANK WITH EAST'S WONDERS
Famous Temples at Mandalay, in Up
per Burma, a Spectacle That Few
Tourists Care to Miss.

Of the many strange buildings and
temples in the far East, says a writer
In Wide World Magazine, there are
none more wonderful than the 45O
Temples of the Law at Mandalay, in
Upper Burma, known as the Ruthol-
daw, or "Royal Merit" The group
consists of a large central pagoda sur
rounded by hundreds of smaller white
temples, or shrines. They were erect
ed by Ainshay-min, who assembled the
throne on the death of his brother In
1867. The latter was cruelty murdered
by his two nephews, and it appears
that this very much affected the new
king. Not only did he devote his ener-
gies to peace, but erected this strange
group of temples, each n of which
contains a slab on which is engraved
q portion of the Buddhist bible. These
holy tablets are made of soft marble
or %alabaster, each slab being about
the size of a large old-fashioned tomb
stone. On both sides are engraved
chapters from the Buddhist scriptures.
Over every slab is erected a canopy
surmounted by a gilded framework of
metal with small tinkling bells. The
temples are situated in a beautiful
wooded valley, and seen from the sur
rounding hills they present a fascina-
ting picture.
