Fox Law.

The legislature of 1911 placed
the open season for hunting
foxes in Richmond county from
October 1st to March 18th. The
law was changed in 1915 so that
the open season should be from
September 1st to March 18th,
and this is still the law. This
statement is made because of
the fact that the last issue gave
October 1st as the date of the
beginning of the open season,
whereas the season really opens
on September 1st and runs to
March 18th.
The fox season in adjoining
counties is:
Richmond, Sept. 1-March Is.
Moore, Oct. 1-March Is.
Lee, Aug. 15-March 2.
Scotland, Aug. 15-March 2.
Hoke, Sept. 15-March 2.

Running Without Lights.

A wagon and pair of mules
driven by a colored man, Jack
Ingraln, of Scotland county, was
run into on the Hamlet-Rock-
ingham road Monday night by
a colored auto driver who was
running without lights. In
gram was bruised, the wagon
tongue broken, the wagon
showed to the ditch and one Of
the mules injured. The driver
of the car continued on his way
without stopping to inquire the
damage.
It is to be hoped he can be
caught up with and properly
punished. This thing of rum
ming cars without lights at night
is far too common, and a term
on the roads is necessary to
make this class of law-breakers
realize the seriousness of their
offense.

PAPER and EGGS
Three Dozen Eggs Pays for a Year.
Subscription to Your Paper.

Quite frequently the editor re-
ceives something like the fol-
lowing from a subscriber: II
like the Post Dispatch so well
that l wouldn't do without it if
it costs $2.0Ow
Thus it seems that others
realize that the price of the
home paper has not risen as has
that of other things. However,
if prices of other things remain
at or near the present high level,
it seems that it would be only
just for the Post-Dispatch price
to go up to $500.
But we have no present in
tention of doing this. The Post
Dispatch is still only $1.50 a
year, and the way to keep it at
this price is renew promptly
when your subscription expires,
and to speak a good word for it
to those who are not subscrib-
ers. Three dozen eggs, three
pecks of corn, three pounds of
ham, three pounds of butter will
pay for a whole years subscrip-
ton. Did you ever see the like?
It used to be ten pounds or ten
dozen or ten pecks. Vet it is
generally conceded that the
Post t-Dispatch means more to
the county than ever before.
We want the names of Rich
mond county people who are liv-
ing outside the county or state.
We want to send them sample
copiesS They in truth ought to
take the home paper; they
ought to keep up with the news
from back home. So send in
the names of your friends or rel
atives who are out of the coun-
ty-and the Post-Dispatch will
do the rest with sample copies.
