No bettor insight into tho rosi pro
gross of the South in reoeut yours
could bo bad than from an iuspeotlon
of tho last figures prepared by tho de
partment of agriculture showlDg the
efforts of the Sojth to inorease her
supply of farm animals. Vhero there
oan bo no doubo that rapid progreis
has been m ulo throughout tho South
goherally during the last ten years In
manufacturing, ootton planting and
other agricultural pursuits, tho tx
p?riment of stock raising was not un
dertaken asa maana ot livelihood to
any appreciable cx .ent until a tow
years b.oc Tho almost unprcaodent
ed number of hogs raised In tho state
of Virginia and South Carolina during
tho past year means that more corn
has necessarily been planted on which
to feed them ar.d get thom ready fer
tho markets.
Tuere aro now on the farms of the
United States 47.320 fill bigs, and of
tl la numb r tho Southern states claim
over 8.000,000. Too total gain over
Jt>04 for the United State* is 321.144
and tho states of Virginia, North and
Scuth Carolina, Gooigia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Kentucky and Tenues
seo, which embrace not moro than 12
por cent, tfthe area of thc United
States, get abeu' 80 per cent, of in
oreaso over 1O04. While, as stated,
tho growing of corn has also I ncr eas
ed to a marked degree, it bas not kept
paoe with the amount necessary for
largo stock raising. The area of oom
raising appears to be Shifting to thc
8outh:ast.
There aro now on the firms of Vir
gin!? 707.103 hog ; South Carolina,
063 007; North Carolina, 1,048 140
Georgia, 1,300.002; Alabama, 1,034,.
002; MlKShiippt, 1,087.780; and Ken
tuoKy, 1,011,510.
While tho Increase in sheep ralsiug
has not been so noticeable as in that
of hog raising, all of thc Southern
states have made i m Ul gales during
the last year. At this time there are
452 128sucop In tho state of Virglula,
58,807 in South Carolina, and approx
imately 300,000 in each of the other
Southern states, with the exception of
Kentucky, which nas 054,ii!)'.).
In horses and mules, Virginia has
invested-not counting auy except
thoso designed for farm work-$3 812,
800; South Carolina, S3,070.287; Geor
gia more than $7,000,000 and Kan
tuoky, whioh wou.'d bc expected to
show a very largo number, about half
of what Georgia number.
From Georgia to the Virginia line,
traveling all of the rm ujitatn coun
ties lu South Carolina-Oaonee,
Pickeus, G. eenville, Spartauburg,
York and Cherokee-there is an ar^a
of about 7,001' ttl larc miles whioh is

to bo unsurpassed for stock raising.

not brought any improvement over
good old fashioned courtship. It h

Thc bride nowadays does not bring
hostages to happiness in the form ot
mg carpets and c\osts of comforts
and quilts, made with her own hands
and into every stich of which has

Within tho next two wf.^ks Qomp*

fae amount of dog tax reoelycd by the
ooufety treasurers aud notify tho ojun
ty m ip cr in to ml on ts of edi cition and
tho State superintendent of education
exactly how , much to eao^i county.
The lav/ states that this money must
ho distributed ns other school money,
aud lt ls presumed that this meana
that each county receives its own
sharo, and i t is not distributed aocord
iug to enrollment as is the dispensary
monoy.
The comptroller general ls not yet
prepared to make au estimate on the
amount rcoolvtd, but the State super?
intendant of education thinks that it
will run at buist $50.000 this year. Mr.
Martin states thal tho school trustees
in tho country dlstriots bave h on
watching the returns and have forced
a largo number of dog owners to make
returns for their ountne pets. On the
?tiler hand the omplroller general
has been deluded with letters protest
ing against the payment of the tax
and there ls a promise of a ni-..) TOW
between tho county auditors, the
school trustees and the owners of the
dogs who do not Ilk > tho tax.
Tno monoy received from this
source, whi'.o greatly needed for new
buildings and other necessities, will

Scuator B. lt. Tillman spent Friday
in Charleston, this being his first visit
there in two and a half years. He
stopped thore on his way back homo,
after a visit to Mississippi and a short
trip into Florida, whore ho "picked
up a few dollars" lecturing. Ho took
a trip to tho navy yard, viewing the
progress of tho work in whioh ho is
much Interested, He was pleased with
what he saw at the big government
yard, but he thought that the work
was not progressing fast encugh. He
wanted thc work done more rapidly
to keep paco with the appropriations,
and of course tie wanted all the ap
proprlations that lie cm get for tho
work.
The Senator said that he had noth
ing further to say about tho dhpen
sary, believing that his views had been
s:i dlMcutly mide clear in his several
speeches. He said that the dispensary
was thc only ls we in the stata and
that thc institution will bc settled at
a primary not lu tho way proposed of,
tho state to determine the matnten
enees of the system. As to his refer
ence of a gubernatorial candidate, he
said that "all of tho horses are not
yet out."
The senator had little or nothing
to pay about national politic! or af
fairs. He will leave his home on Sat
urday night fer Washington, whero he
goss to attend a maiitiug of the In

PROTECT THK BIRDS.
?hCjf WOitia b?? u i/o MUl?OD* Of Sioi
Urs ICvcry Year.
To the Editor of The State:
The announcement, tn your JBSue of
tho 17 ih that fta effort will bo ru: da
ou Mot day night to stimulate an In
terest in tho State Audubon stolety ls
very gratifying to me. as it has for
a number of years been my obj sot to
Bjoure better protection for non-game
birds whose rapid depletion in thin
State is a matter ot the utmost eco
nomio Imp?rtanos to the agricultural
Into routa. *
Tue actual damage done to crops in
a single season by Injects ls In the
aggregate enormous amounting to tho
value of not only thousands but mil
lions of dollars.
Practically the only method of de
creasing the number of harmful and
destructive Inseots in to And an enemy
to them that preys on them, and birds
do this botttr and moro assiduously
than any other known agent. With the
Increasing of in ec eating birds there
will be a deoreaas of Inseots.
No doubt Mr, Pearson will tell UB
how wo may encourage the inorease of
tho birds, and thc Audubon SLCioty
will soo to lt that the best methods
will bo put into iff ot.
Ii rn/ mind the boy-with-tho-gun
is ono of the deadliest and most per
slstent enemies of all the feathered
bribe. He kill* for pleasure, but it is
a sad commentary that hil innocent
pleasure In learning to shoot should be
heightened by the admlxturo of the
still more Innocent blood of any and
all birds that oom? within blt range
Porhaps the Audubon s xjioty will belp
to teach bim that a boards for a tar
get will afford him equal pleasure lu
loaming to snoot and ohat the lives of
birds sbould be protcobod rather than
destroyed.
The society oan also tcaoh us what
birds should ho destroyed, because
they proy on the eggB and young of
the desirable kinds, and thus afford
those boys who must spill blood an
outlot for the cravings.
I do not write this in a sentimental
vein, bub' wholly from the practical
standpoint of the urgent need of af
fective moans for oheoklng the ravag
es of inseots Injurious to crops. In some
nont yoars one-fourth of the corn
crop of thia Stato has boen destroyed
br one Insect alono-the oom stalk
borer, and thia ls not tho only insect
that injuros tho corn orop.
I nave no particular liking f jr tho
ao oallrd E-?erltah sparrow and believe
that the total extermination of the
sparrow would be a dlstlnot gain, not
t>o muoh ou account of the aotual harm
they do, but owing to their pugnac
iou.-) abd unfriendly nature, which pre
eludes their living in peace and har
mony with other varieties of birds,
and their well known fighting ability.
They soon become sole occupants of
any premises they see flt to choose for
habitation, whether lb be elby groves
or country fields.
Purh*ps Prof. Pearson can prove
tbe sparrow to be of some use, but I
believe tbat our city ordinance should
be amended bo allow the small boy
the prlvllage of ahooitrg the aparrow
"on sight" and oven to off^r a per
ciplta price for cvary sparrow killed.
Tbe stu ly of animate naturo should
be begun In the primary niasses in
every school in the State, and be con
tinued through tho higbest grades so
that evory pupil should booome thor
oughly furn.liar with every form cf
wild animal, bird or InBect of tho
State and learn to disc I m?nate do
tween the "good" and the"b?d," to
robeob tho formor and destroy the
latter. Io might In time have a very
strong Influence over thom wbon, as
men they booome employes, 6mployora
and jurymen.
I sincerely hopo that tba Stato
branch of tho Audubon society will
beoome an aotlvo, able and thorugbly

In tbe first petition he sets out that

Tho petition then quotes article

the comptroller general bo restrained

CURES AFTER THE DOCTORS HAVE FAILED.
RHEUMACIDE has cured thousands of cases of Rheumatism after all the doctors and all other means
had failed. Rheumaclde oured John F. Eline and others, of Baltimore, after the famous specialists of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, the greatest hospital in the world, had failed. Rheumacide cured Austin Percelle,
of Salem, Va., and D. H. Olmstead, the Norfolk. Va., contractor, after they had spent large sums on other
remedies and the doctors had given up hope. Rheumacide cured Mrs. Mary Welborn, of High Point, N. C .
of rheumatism she had endured for 20 years. Rheumacide cured W. R.
Hughes, of Atkins, Va., after the most famous New York specialists failed*
There is a reason why it cures : Rheumacide is the latest discovery of medi
cal science, and while powerful enough to sweep all germs and poisons out
of the blood, it operates by purely natural methods, does not injure th?
most delicate stomach, and builds up the entire system.
Almost n Miracle kn This Case.

Gentlemen:-In September. 1809. I took rheu
matism In n very bad form (Inflammatory), In a
month after the disease- started I had to KIVC up
my work ond KO to bed. lt continued to grow
worse until my arms and hands wera badly
drawn, so much so that I could not use thom.
My legs were drawn back till my feet touched
my hips. I was as helpless as n baby for nearly
12 months. Tho muscles of my arms and lets
were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death
many times over. Was treated by six different
physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marion, but
none of them could do mo any wood, until Dr. J.
P. Kw in?, of Dillon, camp to see inc. He told
mo to try your RH ICU M ACIDIC. He not me ono
bottle of the medicine and I began to take it.
and before the lirst bottle was used up I beean
to get better, I used BX bottles and was coin
Kletely cured. That was years ak'o and my
colt li has been excellent ever since. Have
had no symptoms of rheumatism. Will say
further that I began to walk in about six days
after I began to take RHEUM ACIDIC willi the
aid of crutches; In about three months after I
bevan to take it 1 could walk os good as iiiiy
body, and went back to work a ira in.
Yours truly. JAMES WILKES.
