John Rodemeyer and Scripture,
 Do Not Agree

John Rodemeyer may be an eff cient president of the Bald-head Club of America, but it is feared that he would be failure as minister. of the gospel. For while MT. Rode meyer may know the various brands ot herpiscide, and tonic and such. he knows little--or at least his address before the legislative committee on interpretations would seem to indi- cate that he knows little-of the Scriptures. And as exhibit A. the state would offer in evidence his statement that there are twelve com mandments and that Elijah called forty-two she bears to devour those who taunted him.
 MT. Rodemeyer was speakinp in behalf of the bill introduced into the legislature by Senator Nickerson. or Cornwall, incorporating the or ganlzatlon the heads of whose mem bers are supposed to glisten like St. Peters halo. As the audience was composed largely of newspaper men, It IS possible that MT. Rodemever would have escaped censure even though he had said there were twenty commandments, but Representative Winfield Scott Rogers, of Litchfeld was in the audience and therein hangs the tale.
 Before MT. Rogers is introduced. however, it is best to recite some of MT. Rodemeyer's other extremely liberal interpretations of the Bible. According to him, Elijah had a bald head,' and becaues of this, some would-be humorists taunted him just as some would-be humorists do today" But Elijah called the "forty-two she bears," and they ate the humorists, and 'thus does Elijah get credit for staging the first bald head banquet in the world"
 After Judge Nickorson had snoken Tn favor of the bill, Representative Rogers arose. Before startinp his oration he walked to a corner of the room and secured . paper bag in which was something, no one knew what. What do you suppose he has there?"> asked Miss Whalen of esT.he Journal-Courier', and Joe Mullin re-

Who Thinks of 1t?

Dumb Animals.
Few who eat them know the meth
cd bv which the so-callod fancy
chickens used for broiling and roast
ing are fattened for the market. Tne
Popular Science Monthly thus de-
scrbes the process:
"To prevent the bird from using
I'D fat bv exercise, it is kept If coop
so small that it has practically no
room for exercise. To expedite the
fattcning process the birds are fore
iblv fed by machine. One maa holds
the chicken While another presses
down lever ard forces quantity
of food contained in a tank through
p rubber tube into the mouth OF the
chicken.
"The birds are thus fed three times
"a day, the quantity of food forced m
to them depending upon their condl-
ton, ager, and other factors.
Beyond the cruelty to the fowl IN
this unnatural stuffing process, no"
can flesh grown by such method be
thoroughly wholesome?

Rockhill cor Yorkville Enquirer.
Hoke Crenshaw, 19, motorman at
the Arcade cotton mill here, was in
stantly killed about noon Tuesday,
when he entered the transformer
house at the mill. In some way
"short" was made and he received the
full strength of the high power lines
entering the building. The mill had
lust been shut down for dinner when
the accident occurred. Superintend-
ent McGee was only short distance
from the transformer house enroute
to dinner, hearing the noise when
Young Crenshaw fell. Hoke Cren-
shaw was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John F. Crenshaw of the Arcade mill
village. He is survived by his par
ents, sister, Miss Lottie Crenshaw
and two brothers, W. W. and John
Crenshaw. Coroner McCorkle went
to Rock Hill and viewed the body,
but considered an inquest unneces-
sary. The body was carried to Lam

FREE FROM TOLL
AFTER MANY YEARS
ASHLEY RIVER BRIDGE NOW
PUBLIC PROPERTY
Governor Cooper Grants Pardon
of Fine of Three Thousand
Dollars
The State.

The State.
Charleston, July An interest
ing ceremony was held this afternoon
in the taking over by the Charleston
sanitary and drainage commission
from the Charleston Bridge company
of the Ashley river bridge, which,
with it's predecessors, has been toll
! crossing for 113 years, the original
charter of the company being issued
in 1903. The formal transfer of the
deed was made at noon, payment be-
ing $4,000 in 4 1-2 per cent county
bonds accepted by the sellers in lieu
of cash. At o'clock, representa-
tives of the drainage commission,
chamber of commerce, coastal high
way committee, auto club, and auto
motive trade association, assembled
al the bridge to 'christen' the prop
erty, now publicly owned and free
bridge for the first time in many gen.
erations. Several brief addresses
were made, the trend of which was
to stress the Importance Of this link
in county highway development be-
ing free to the public, and to empha-
size that the next step must be the
replacing of this wooden structure
with one of steel and concrete. The
present bridge was built in 1886, pre-
vious bridges having been burned, or
destroyed by storms on more than
one occasion. Several times since,
storms have damaged the structure
severely. Recently considerable
sum of money was expended IN put
ting the bridge into good repair.
Along with the transfer of the prop
erty came the announcement that
Governor Cooper had "pardoned'
the bridge and remitted fine of
$4,000 imposed on the owners for in
terrupting traffic in violation of state
statute. This made it unnecessary
for the county to take money out OF
one pocket to put into another, IN
paying the fine. BY way of making
it evident that the bridge was free,
the commissioners, after the speak
ing, assisted by others present, tore
down the toll gates and carried away
parts of the barrier as souvenirs.
The Ashley river bridge is on the
coastal highway route, and gives ac-
cess to Charleston to those living in
the island trucking sections. For many
years, efforts were made to purchase
the bridge, and several months ago an
agreement was reached satisfactory
both to the owners and to the drain
age commission of which J. D. Lese-
mann is chairman. Lieut.. Gov. Wilson
G.. Harvey was chairman of the COM
mission when negotiations were
brought to a head, and was present
today at the opening.

HUNTING SEASON
BRINGS RULINGS.
FOR ROTECTloN
Game Refuge Plan Is
Made BY State Board
In Effect

The hunting season opened with q
flourish here Friday morning, Sep
tember l6tha flourish Il windy rain
showers that commenced to fall be-
fore daylight and continued thruout
the day.; However, it did not deter
q liberal bunch of nimrods from be-
ing. con the Job" at various passes
and feeding grounds Of the ducks and
chickens.
One Of the new conditions local
hunters face lis the setting aside Of
refugees for birds and other game,
promulgated by the state game and
fish board and which it, ,is declared
will be one sof the greatest means ev-
er calculated to make the season of
hunting in North Dakota each year
one continuous round of pleasure for
real sportsmen, covered in the fol-
lowing statement from Col. J. H.
Bloom Of the board:
"Under the law the game and fish
board has power to declare any pub
lie land in the state game refuge,
and all that lake bottom lying south
and west Of the city, formerly cover
ed by Devils Lake, according to the
government survey, has by the board
been declared game refuge" says
Col ]. H. Bloom, game and fish com.
missioner.
with one exception all land own.
eEs adjacent to the old lake bottom
have signed up their land as game
refuge, and all land owners south o1
the city are a unit in seeing that the
game laws are strictly enforced. We
do not expect to have any trouble
with the real sportsmen, but we are
prepared to put a stop to the wilful
violations of the law which have
been going on in the past. The state
has released many pheasants in this
refuge, and last year game hogs, il
seems, made q speciality in hunting
out these birds. There is no opel
season ON pheasants, and true sports
men will protect them whereye,
found, but as an added protection :
large amount Of land has been Sc
aside as a state game refuge, wher,
all game, will be safe from molesta
tion during the next ten years a
least.
"ln order that all may know tn,
