The Wild Animals and Destitute
Children Of OcOnce.

How in the world Is there any
connection between the game birds
and animals and poor children OF
Oconeo county? So, that's your
query after reading the above head
ing? That there may become q very
vital and far-reaching connection it
is the purpose Of this article to show.
It Is possible that every time game
license is bought in OcOnco county
here may be contribution both
oward the care and education OF
poor children. The Game Warden $
office exists for the purpose Of study
'ng game life in Oconee county, i'm
proving 1t and protecting it; and
ilart Of its purpose Is gained, as
strange as it may seem, through the
sale Of licenses.
The De Ia Howe State Industrial
School, Wilmington, S. c., has been es-
'ablished for the purpose Of studying,
protecting and improving the lives
~ poor children OF every county Of
he State. and this, Of course, in
Gludes Oconee. There is resulting
rom the sale Of game licenses each
year q surplus In the treasury OF the
came Warden's Office What shall
become Of this money? 1t has been
uggested that 1t be given to the
De la Howe Industrial School for the
benefit Of the poor children OF the
state. We take such pains to teach
rur children love for wild animals.
Now, wouldn't 1t be fine to think
II the wild animals, even Indirectly,
å for our children? If the
Legislature should decide at it's next
meeting to give the game protection
fund surplus to De Ia Howe, all the
counties Of the State would be given
tree scholarships for their children
IT this school. Oconee county would
lave its quota. Such a distribution

sensible way Of solving the problem
