Against the taw-AIlowtd to Boat Eabbita and Oat the Birds Alaev Eaat Babbtta Witt Bird Doga. "There ia no way to rigidly enforce the law against killing quail before the season opens ae long as the hunt ers are allowed to kill rabbits before that time," said a ivell known farm er to a representative of this paper a few days ago. "If the law pro tected the rabbits the hunter would have no excuse to be out in the Adds at this tune of tbe season. I have no special objection to people shoot ing rabbits on my farm aa they are plentiful, more plentiful .this year than ever before I believe, but I do seriously object to having my bird Killed,,-' no eaaeu. vonunuing . ne said: ' ..-! - "When a hunter gets the privilege of the field ho baa gained a big ad vantage over the law. That is if be has any inclination to disregard it. I don't eay that all rabbit hunters will kill birds out of season bat in my opinion there art very, very few bunt era,' who while they are bunting rab bits or any other kind of game will let a covey of birds fly up and not shoot at them. More than that it ia a safe, wager that they will follow them up and continue to sly them. Human nautre in most cases is i weak and a banter 'a instinct tr hag game too strong to restrain from do ing this. Tbey adopted a law in Mecklenburg prohibiting rabbits from being killed until the bird season opened.- This law ia not to protect rabbits. His Bunnyship has never at tained enough importance to oven gain considcrauon at the hands or a legis lator, but it was done to' keep the hunters out of the field until the legal time to kill quail There ia also an other fact that atrengThens my con tention and that ia a majority of the rabbit hunters this year arc in the fields with bird dogs. I am something of a hunter myself but I never yet took a bird dog rabbit bunting. You can eee them at any time, they usually come out from the cities." "Ton can watch".

Las Zverhart Knterloualy Disap peared Saturday Indication of a Violent Death. Tbomasville, Nov. 25. Tbe body of Charles Lea Everhart, who myste riously disappeared so suddenly Sat urday morning, waa found late this evening nearly three miles south of this plaoe ia a patch of woodland by two boys while out rabbit hunting, the doga baying the body. The boys were terribly frightened and fled, spreading the alarm aa they ran. Soon a number of men gathered and guarded tbe body and waited until Coroner Peacock, with a jury, arriv ed. The following facta were found: Two bloody places were found, one shout 40 feet from the body, one about 30. His gun waa lying 25 feet from the body. No blood was seen where the body lay. The body waa lying on its face. Upon examination of the body a number of things were found in the pockets, but no money a found. It is reported that the deceased had more than one hundred dollars with him when last seen, and that he waa on his way to a shooting match. It was found that he had been shot just beloy and back of the right ear, and tbe load coming out through tbe face, tearing away his teeth and terribly disfiguring his face. The body was turned over to Undertaker Green until 8 o'clock to morrow morning, when the coroner's jury will render their verdict. nobert C Leonard, who was last seen with Everhart, was arrested on suspicion and hurried to Lexington by automobile and placed in jail for safe keeping. The preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow at 1 o'clock and inter est centers on the hearing. Leonard claims to have left Ever hart about noon at Frank Workman 'a store, and it was just at' that time and place that all trace of the dead m was wiped out until today, when his dead body was found. Charlotto Sportsmen Enter a Protest Charlotto sportsmen have gotten i'awastirioM Wpreaent to the Booth ern-Kailway authorities-wiat tne zo eeftts charge on dogs be annulled. ' ' It appears that tbe road has just put-in operation a rote requiring owners of dogs to pay a minimum of 25 cents on each dog that is placed in the baggage car for transportation. Ai the majority of Charlotte sports men have to make very short trips by rail to reach the scene of their prospective hunt, and as they must have one or more dogs along, tbe new ruling will affect practically every man who indulges in hunting. The Chronicle says: ' It is said further by tbe hunters that such a ruling was put into ef fect in the State of Virginia bat waa later annulled and this course they think should be followed in North Carolina. The main argument presented, how ever, is that hunters vcarry no Dag gage, although under ordinary rail road rules each passenger is entitled to carry a maximum of 150 pounds of baggage.. Tbe hunters, carrying no baggage, of course, hold that they arc entitled to free transportation of their hunting dogs as has been the practice heretofore Soma Appointments of North Caro i.

GVCT BOOM AT EAEXTjrO. lewolatioaitti Cloatag ia Areaad the Aadeat Capital. 1,000 Bobbers Dead, it Bewort Nanking, Nov. 27. 1 a. m. Af. tor more thaa half a century of stil enoa tbe bills overlooking the walled city of Nanking, tbe ancient capital of China, swarm with rebellions fore st eager for ita occupation and deter mined to take the stronghold where uo Manebus arc making their last stand south of the Tangtae. From Tiger Hill fort for several hours yesterday morning big guns spoke repeatedly, while farther up, along the Northeastern range, from the top of Purple Mountain, overlook ing the Ming tombs for a 15-mile se-mi-eirele westward to the Yangtse, smaller forta scattered shells into every section of tbe city. As fsr at ia knowa the casualty list is ru.t Urge General Wong, second in command of the defenders, is among those kill ed. During the earlier part of the dav the Imperialists attempted a sortie against tbe attacking forces with a view to reeepturing their positions and guns, but driven back inside the walla with considerable losses. The Tiger Hill batteries meanwhile were pounding shells into Lion Hill. They succeeded in silencing the batteries there, which, it is suspected, were of little value. The object of the first seizure. Tir- er Hill, was shown by the early ap pearance Of four cruisers and later in the day of other warships. In the evening a do sen torpedo boat destroy ers and cruisers lay menacingly near the city. Doubtless they will quickly reduce the lower section and drive thed efendera to tbe south. : The Viceroy of Nanking and Tar tar general, in fear of General Chang, the Imperial commander, have tak en refuge in the Japanese consulate, in which only the consul remains. He is the sole official representative of foreign interests now in Nanking. The consulate is well guarded by marines. Yesterday's attack can only be considered a slight foretaste of big ger things to follow, because the main body of the revolutionaries is steadily investing every tide tnd bringing the big gun into position on every eminence. : The plans of tne attacking force are not revealed. Hunting on Thankadvina Day. Greenville Reflector. Hunting on Thanktgivuur dav eame from the necessary habit of our Pil grim fathers to go out and kill meat for that day. They would probably bag a deer, wild turkey, or some birds or something of the kinds in a few minutes and return home to give thanks and eat. In this year of our Lord it ia not necessary for a moth er's son in this whole fine country to do that, and if it waa necessary in all probability the game would not bo found. So how can a man take hia gun and go out and slaughter the remainder of God a beautiful crea tures on the moat sacred day in the yearT BportT What a farce. This Negro 'i Skin Tuned White.
