to stop at Sheridan Square " said a
pompous-looking woman to the conductor.
"Sorry, madam, but I can't remember
where every one wants to got off,"
said the harassed individual.
"The old tale," the woman replied
icily, the very feathers in her hat
quivering with indignation. "Perhaps
you'll stop the car now."
Having almost squashed one meek
little man in her efforts to leave the
car she reached the exit.
"And how do you think I can get off
here " she demanded of the conductor,
pointing to a puddle Just beneath the
step..
"I don't know, madam. You must
decide that yourself," he answered unperturbed.
"But I do know that we
can't wait here until that puddls dries
up."
He Can't Do It.?"Speaking of the
marriage laws at a meeting presided
over by an archdeacon in England, a
curate remarked that it was not generally
known that a man could not
marry his widow's cousin.
"Widow's sister, you mean," corrected
the president.
"No," replied tho youthful cleric, "1
mean widow's cousin."
The archdeacon was on his feet in
an instant. His law must not be
challenged by a curate.
"I tell you," he rejoined "that a
man may marry his widow's cousin,
but not his widow's sister. You must
r.eally allow me to know."
"But," persisted the curate, "how can
a man do anything in the way of
marrying when his wife is a widow "
Daniel Come to Judgment.?Some
years ago in Arizona a man was sent
enced to.pay a fine of tsn dollars or go
to jail for ten days. He had oniy three
dollars and the court accepted that in
lieu of three days' imprisonment.
By some carclesness on the part of
the Jailer the man was kept in jail
the full ten days. Naturally he demanded
redress when released, and,
after long consideration, the Judge announced:
"Court expenses has done eat up the
three dollars you give us, so we kain't
pay you that back. Also we ain't got
three dollar j in the court treasury. Hut
you sure are entitled to somelhin', so
I suggest that you commit the same
offense over again and we'll give you
three days' rebate and only keep you

OPEN SEASON FOR DOVES
There has been considerable opinion
on the subject of the open season for
doves. The South Carolina laws have
been in conflict with the Federal laws,
but Game Warden Richardson has
managed by correspondence to arrive
ut an understanding that removes
the conflict. Dove shooting will be
lawful in this state from and after
September 1. The following letter of
the game warden to a gentleman in
Aiken county under date of July 27, is
published at the request of Mr. Richaidson:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of July 24th in rc open season
for doves.
1 can readily understand and recognize
your claim as to doves being a
non-migratory bird, yet by an act of
congiess they nave Deen maue iiugr-atory
and any one killing them in violation
of the Federal law will Buffer.
1 have made the ruling that the dove
season will open Sept. 1st, and, in
doing so, made this ruling for the
benefit of the dove hunters of South
Carolina.
Lust year, under the state law, a
person could begin shooting doves on
August 15, and at the same time the
Federal authorities had the right to
arrest such a hunter who killed any
doves prior to October 16th. After a
great deal of correspondence and personal
interviews with the authorities
in Washington, I got them to agiee to
let the Dove season open September
1st, with the understanding that I
would use my influence to have the
state law. conform to the Federal law
and open September 1st. The cod.?_
commissioner, in the code of laws of
South Carolina, 1922, Vol. II, sets forth,
under section "4& that "The open seasons
for doves shall be from October
15th to January 31 of each year." This
code, having been adopted by the legislature,
this law would supersede all
other laws and my hands would be tied
were it not for the fact that in the
same code, under section 559, the com
missioner sets forth that "The Federal
Migratory Bird Treaty Regulations, being
the supreme law of the land under
Article VI of the constitution of the
United States, are hereby declared to
be the law of this state, and the penalty
for their violation shall be punishment
of not less than $10.00 nor more
than $25.00 line, or thirty days imprisonment."
You will, therefore, see that, as head
of this department it is optional with
me which section of the 1922 code shall
govern dove hunting; and, for the best
interest of all parties concerned, I have
ruled that' section 559 will cover the
dove situation, and said season for
shooting doves in South Carolina will
open September 1st and close December
loth.
In Georgia and some of the other
Southern states the dove season does
not open until November 20th, and in
many other states of the union there is
no open season at all. You will, therefore,
see that we have much to be
thankful for along this line.
POLITICAL PALAVER
Candidates for county offices didn't
wait tor rne inquirer iu uumc uui mi
inform them relative to the action of
the Democratic executive committee;
yesterday in fixing1 assessments and |
opening date of the campaign. They
had all the "dope" by wireless as it
were by the time the committee adjourned.
Candidates for state offices who
spoke in Lancaster this morning are to
speak in Rock Hill tonight. Ex-Governor
Cole L. Blease is to address a
meeting of his friends in Fort Mill
about 6 o'clock this evening.
Mrs. W. B. Steele of Yorkville No. 2
club is probably the oldest woman
voter in York county. She is in hei
90th year. Mrs. Sallie Turner of
Blairsville is probably the second oldest.
She is 84. Both of these ladies
expect to cast their respective ballots
on election day.
"While they did not register opposition
in the meeting some of the members
of the executive committee
thought that the assessment fixed for
candidates for the house of representa
tives?$25 was too hign. iney mouijm |
that if the assessment was fixed at $10
or $15 it would have the effect of encouraging:
more candidates to enter the
field.
A member of the executive committee
ventured the opinion yesterday
that from now until next Tuesday at
12 o'clock when the entries close will
he a period of "watchful waiting" for
Auditor l'roadus M. Love. It now appears
that Auditor Love will be the
only office holder in the county who
I will not have opposition for re-election.
It is argued that there are many in
the total of 856 who made their marks
on the club rolls who could have
written their names if forced to do so.
On the other hand it is argued that if
such is the case then all those who
could write and who had some body
else to write their names for them
should have their names stricken from
the rolls since they violated the rules
of the party in so doing.

Tirzah Picnic.
James M. Campbell, chairman of the
Tirzah Picnic Association who was in
Yorkville yesterday said that practically
all arrangements had been made
for the annual agricultural picnic
which is to be held at that place in T.
M. Oates's grove on August 15. Hon.
J. Skottowe Wannamaker of St. Matthews,
president of the American Cotton
Association has accepted an invitation
to be present and make the
principal address. Dr. J. B. Johnson
of Rock Hill, president of the South
Carolina Cotton Association will likely
preside. Dr. Clurence Poe, editor of I
the Progressive Farmer who> was also
invited to be present and make a talk
found it impossible to accept the invitation.
Mr. Campbell said that the
people of Tlrzah were expecting a
large crowd to attend the picnic.
No Weevils Yet.
Mr. J. E. Edmunds, of Ridgeway, is
still getting along without any weevils
in his cotton. Mr. Edmunds is the man
to whom Messers. Quinn Wallace, A.
L. Black, C. *M. lnman and C. J. Youngblood
applied some weeks ago to see
the effect of sweet poisoning on cotton.
What they learned was fully set forth
by a story that Mr. Wallace told The
Yorkville Enquirer immediately after
the return of the party. Mr. Black has
a letter from Mr. Edmunds under date
of July 30, written in reply to a letter
asking how the experiment is coming
on. In his letter Mr. Edmunds says
that he has been keeping his cotton
poisoned faithfully, and it is ns free of
weevils as when the party was at his
place. He has changed his mixture to
half molasses and half water so that it
will run more easily over the plant.
Some of his neighbors who have been
poisoning; but not so thoroughly have
a few weevils and some who have not
poisoned at all are ruined. His own
cotton is lapping in the rows and he
counted 78 squares and bolls to the
stalk the other day. He says that if
he can get ten days more of good
weather he will feel sure of a bale to
the acre unless he has some bad. luck
from some source other than the
weevil. He continues to use shallow
cultivation in the centre of the rows
with a contrivance that knocks off the
dead squares from either side.
USING BUFFALOES.
Hardy Breed of Cattle Produced By
Cross Breeding.
One of the primary physical differences
between a cow and a buffalo is
that the former has thirteen ribs and
the latter fourteen ribs on each side,
says a Goodnight, Texas, dispatch. By
cross-breeding of the two widely sep-,
nrated animal species, Col. Goodnight
has developed a few off-spring that
have the extra two ribs. Although he
is well up in the eighties Col. Goodnight
is still keenly interested in the
Buffalo. He is recognized authority
on these animals which formerly roamed
the range by the millions of head.

tinct upon the plan he maintained a
large private herd of them upoh his
' ranch In Texas. It was only two years
| ago that he disposed of the animals
comprising this herd. The studv which
Col. Goodnight has made of the American
bison Is regarded as of great scientific
value. In a brief statement of
his success in crossing domestic cattle
with buffaloes, he sjiid:
"Heing raised in a buffalo country,
I became interested some years ago in
their extreme hardihood and adapta
bility to thrive under all climatic conditions
and on a large range of territory.
I conceived the idea of crossing
the buffalo with the common cattle,"
and if possible establish a race which
would stand the high altitude and severe
winters a a the buffalo themselves
do and the elk and the mountain
sheep.
"Relieving the Polled Angus to be
the hardiest of t^e cow kind, I began
some years ago on the imported Polled
Angus. I found, this to be a difficult
undertaking of the breeding kind. Aft- \
er much loss of time and money, I
learned this could be done, and am now
in position to say to breeders that it is
practical and will prove to be extremely
profitable for the following
reasons:
"As far as I have been able to test
them, the cross, when high grade, is
immune from all diseases. I have sent
them to the Gulf coast, our thick infested
country; none of the full bloods
have died, and of the one-eighths one
out of three have died.
"They thrive and do well on less
food than other cattle. They put on
more flesh for the food they eat than
"arty other animal kno\vn, but do not
carry the great extra fat which is a
waste in common cattle. Their tallow,
is' worth from 2 1-2 to 3 cents more on
the pound.
"In my efforts to. establish this race,
I hope to establish ihe fourteenth rib,
\he same as the buffalo. This varies
greatly?a few of the high grades have
the extra ribs. Time and patience
alone can add this perfectly. This will
insure greater hardihood and a longer
and deeper line."
