Ilxon liollevps That the General Marketing of Itlnin Should 'tee ProhlbiUxl Other Suggestions. "I am In ravor of three things," re marked Mr. T. W. Dixon, of the Char lotte Hardware Company, to. .an Ob server reporter yesterday: "A tax on all dogs in the county, the prohibition of t the sale of quail except from the 20th 1 of December to the 1st of January, and an open season for bird from the 1st of November to I he 1st of February." f" i Mr. Dixon Is one of the best known 'iiind most expert hunters In the coun V'ty. He stated that he has been keep , lug l-lose watch for the past several -years and that he did not believe that ' "i there were any more birds now than i,1 there were years ago when the soason e lasted almost the whole winter. Of late r'ii year the length of the season has been reduced until It now IflHts hut 40 days. , lit addition to tho close season, the Audubon Society has 'gone to the troii hle and expense of appointing a game ' warden for the express purpose of pro tecUng the birds. And yet there seems to be no great good resulting. ' , Mr. Dixon believes that the source K of the trouble Is the lack of a law pro - J hiblting the sale of birds. "There are men In each community who make It a regular business of killing birds for the market," said he. "They are expert 1 shots and but few birds escape. From ' '- a covey of 12 to 15 birds these pot-hun-' ters never fall to get less than 6 or 8. t', .At this rate they have to find the birds . but a few times before the whole covey has been exterminated. With , their trained rtoga and thorough J ' ; ' knowledge of the land, these men hardly ever get less than 30 or 40 at a ' i day's hunting. These they brlriK Into the City and receive fr Ihetn any "' ' where from 15 to 25 rents. The cur ; (- 1 dogs and hounds belonging to the darkles also do groat damage to the nests and young birds during the num , tner time. Let the dogs be taxed, let " there be a law prohibiting the sale of birds except for 10 days during Chrlst mas, and extend the open seannn from '4d to SO days. Then the number at , quail In the county would Increase " very rapidly." . 'Boaiu of ;ovr.iiNoits siKirr.

Charlotte Preacher Speaks to Packed : Auditorium ot - The Worth of a Man"- News and Courier's Account r of it. rctfk'vrWi V'f -.!--The 'following flipping is, from (he local columns of The , News and Cou rier, of Charleston; .if-'i'.'jA' ? While comparisons are. odious it is at j least permissible - to say that no more interesting and ' eloquent address has -been heard at the Toung Men's Christian Association this yeat than that given yesterday afternoon by the Rev Plato T, Durham, A. M Ph. D pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal cnurcn, twuw, charlotte jt. c - The new auditorium of thv Associa tion was overtaxed, the crowd over flowing into, the lobby. The audience was composed almost wholly of young men,; although a number of prominent business and professional men were present, A large per cent, of those present were not , . church members. The opening song service was especi ally attractive, being Tendered espec ially so by the tenor solo, "Hear Us, O Father!" Rosewlg. sung : most ef fectively by Mr. Charles Lltschgl, Jr. ' rne worth of a Man," was the sub ject of the address. The speaker is himself a young man of pleasing ad dress and winning personality. As a public speaker he deserves to rank among the very best of the splendid coterie of orators who hall from the Old North State. As a master of pure English and as a word -painter his su perior has not been heard here for many a day. Probably a better de scription of his ability than the hack neyed term "eloquent" Is the simple but true statement that those who heard him forgot all about, the pass ing of time and about the speaker, and visited in imagination the scene which he pictured and accepted the truths which he presented. ALMOST FISHING TIME. Col. Tom Black Would Drop Ills Hook In Conga ree Creek If He Were at Columbia. "Isn't this fine weather, colonel?" asked an Observer, man of Ool. Tom Black, yesterday, as he stood on the square and twirled his billy, and kept up a running fire of words with his frelnd, Mr. James D. Brumfleld. "Yes, and If I were in Columbia, and had some bait, I would go down on Congaree creek and catch me some fish -they would bite to-day." "WTiat kind of fish?" "Trout; there's lota of them there; goggle-eyed perch and bream. That's a fine place for fish. The creek winds in and out and runs deep at places. Yes, sir, 1 wish I was there, on the bank of that stream, with the right stort of a hook and a cup full of bait." Col. Black was In earnest, for as he told about the fishing In Congaree creek he waved his hands and made other Impressive gestures. This conversation will serve to show the variety of the North Carolina cli mate. Three days ago it was freezing cold, cloudy and threatening, but yes terday the sun was shining and the at mosphere was balmy, and lazy-like. l-30th Ever examine your collars when they come back from the laundry If they have "saw-edges" and are unevenly "turned, It's time to make a change for the better.
