The open season for quail shooting
in South Carolina commenced last
Saturday and it will continue until
February Is, just three months.
Rev. 3. H. Waugh thinks the Bap'
tist church has made n great move
in establishing central headquarters
in Columbia. "The membership OF
our church is so great" he says, that
it is absolutely necessary to have one
of the biggest men among us devoting
his whole time to general supervision.
We desire to say that we very much
appreciate the energy with which the
clubmakers for The Enquirer are re-
turning, new and old subscriptions.
Already more names have been re-
turned than were returned up to jan
nary last year, and we have our mail
ing list close up with the clubmakers'
During several weeks of last year,
with two members of the staff still in
the army service, and shorthanded In
the way of help, those remaining had
TO work until g 8 and o'clock night
after night trying to guard against
errors in the mailing list. While we
are glad to say that we have no rea-
son to anticipate return OF this con-
dition of affairs this year, under any
circumstances, still we will thank our
clubmakers to get names returned as
rapidly as possible.
Certainly the landowner has right
to control the hunting privileges on his
own lands, and he is very foolish If he
does not do it. Under the general law
all land is posted against trespaSsers,
There is really no legal requirement
that additional notice be given. Any
man who now trespasses on the lands
of another is subject to prosecution.
Many landowners, following long-es-
tablshed custom, see proper to give
notice each year; but it is fact that
such notice is of but little importance
unless the landowner backs it up with
mis- personal attention. There is q
class of people who know nothing and
care nothing about rights. Who un-
dertake to do as they like about any
thing and who so where they want to
80 without asking anybody any odds.
The law is for such as these, and law
abiding people who would protect
themselves against these kind Of peo-
PIE should invoke the law.
The principal concern of the mer-
chants of these days is not so much
the matter of selling goods as to get
the goods to sell. 1t is the same story
in almost every line of trade, dry goods
groceries, hardware, furniture, etc. OF
course all the merchants have large
stocks of various kinds of goods and
all of them are doing q rushing busi-
ness the greater part OF the time; but
there is not 4 merchant in this country
who is not experiencing more or less
trouble in gettingl first one article and
then another. All OF the merchants are
up to their p's and as to keep their
stocks complete. In most cases the
goods are being offered for sale in the
wholesale markets; but the old time
facility of getting anything that might
be desired from anywhere by freight
within n week or ten days is thing OF
:he past. Ii is not done that way any
more. There are complaints of ina
Liity to get things even from Charlotte
within Il week and New York, Balti-
more ana Chicago goods are frequently
from three weeks to Il month or more
on the road. There is hardly mer-
chant in the county who is without a
complaint to the effect that he has had
goods out from one to two months.
The railroads seem to be doing all the
business they possibly can do; but they
