Federal Game Law
On October first the President
approved regulations drawn up
by the United States Department
of Agriculture at the direction of,
Congress, by the terms of which
the Federal Government assumes
control of all migratory game and
insectivorous birds, and fixes
dosed seasons for the species af
fected. Laws enacted by the
several states can lengthen but
can not shorten these closed sea
sons fixed by Federal law.
Following is a synopsis of the
closed seasons set for "Zone 2,"
which includes North Carolina:
Regulation 2.—A daily closed
season on all migratory game and
insectivorous birds shall extend
from sunset to sunrise.
Regulation 3.—There shall be
a perpetual closed season on the
following migratory insectivor
ous birds and on all other perch
ing birds which feed entirely or
chiefly on insects: Boboilnks, cat
birds, chickadees, cuckoos, flick
ers (yellow-hammer), fly catchers,
grosbeaks, humming birds, king
lets, martins, meadowlarks, night
hawks or bullbats, nuthatches,
orioles, robins, shrikes, swallows,
swifts, titmice, thrus
hes, vireos, warblers, waxwings,
whippoorwills, woodpeckers, and
wrens.
Regulation 4.—A closed season
shall continue until Septsmber 1,
1918, on the following migratoi'y
game birds: Band-tailed pigeons,
little brown, sandhill, and whoop
ing cranes, swans, v curlew, and
all shore birds except the black
breasted and golden plover, Wil
son or jacksnipe, woodcock, and
greater and lesser yellow legs.
Regulation 9. —(For the pur
pose of this regulation, each per
iod of time herein prescribed as a
closed season shall be construed
to include the first day and to ex
clude the last day thereof.)
,Closed seasons:
Waterfowl— February 1, to
November 1.
Woodcock—January 1 to Nov
ember 1.
Rails, Coots, Gallinules—Dec
ember 1, to September 1.
The closed season on' black
breasted and golden plover, jack
snipe or Wilson snipe, and greater
and lesser yellow legs shall be -
December 16, to September 1.
It will be noted that these re
gulations make it a violation of
the.Federal laws to kill at any
time meadowlarks, or roMns,
which are recognized by our
State laws as game birds, and
have open seasons fixed in-which
they may be hunted and killed.
Now that our supreme govern
ment has undertaken to protect
our birds, those of us who are
thoughtless enough to disregard
the provisions set forth above,
had better look out for Uncle
Sara's Federal Court.
Congress has taken this step to
n?4serve to us and to future
generations, our insectivorous
birds; because it has been con
clusively proven that without the
keeping down of pestiferous bug
and insect life by the birds, this
world would soon become uninha
bitable; and because the rapid
decrease of our migratory game
birds mSkes it evident that uni
form seasons, in which they may
be killed, having regard for zones
of temperature, breeding habits
and migration, are necessary to
prevent their total extinction.
Accordingly, it behooves us to
further our own interests and
comfort by supporting this wise
measure and by encouraging our
neighbbrs to follow our example.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C.. FRI
The Gideon Lamb Chapter of
the Daughters of the .American
Revolution held their regular
meeting at the residence of Mrs.
Jos. H. Saunders on Wednesday
evening. After the close of the
regular business session, the
husbands and escorts of the mem
bers were invited to come and
partake of the refreshments pre
pared for the Chapter. At ten
o'clock all were ushered into the
dining room where was served an
elegant supper which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present.'
The meeting adjourned to hold
its next regular session at the re
sidence of Mrs. John D. Biggs.
This was the first meeting since
the adoption of the resolution in
viting the men to participate in a
part of the meeting, and they
were unanimous Jin the opinion
that if all the meetings had been
anything like this, they had miss
ed a great deal by not being ad
mitted sooner.

Embrofdery Club
Tuesday afternoon, Mis* Anna
P6pe was hostess to the Embroid
ery Club at her residence on
Haughton Street. There was
present as honor guesils, Mes
dames Alonzo and C. B. Hassell,
John and Henry Cook and Whee
ler Martin, Sr. These with the
full number of members, with one
exception, made a most delight
ful party to enjoy the pleasures
of the occasion. New books were
distributed and the contents of
workbags displayed. Littl» Mis
sed Elizabeth Burras and Martha
Cotten Crawford served refresh
ments in courses, which consist
ed of salads, fruitsand cream. The
hostess, who is intensely interest
ed in floriculture, gave each guest
a handsome chrysanthemum from
her own garden. The next meet
ing will be held with Mrs, F. U.
Barnes on November 18th.
"The Shepherd of The Hills"
"The Shepherd of the Hills,"
a dramatization of Harold Bell
Wright's novel of the same name
by Mr. Wright and Elsbery W.
Reynolds, is announced for pro
duction at the Opera House on
Friday Nov. 14.
Never in the history of publish
ing of books has a povel attained
such a popularity in
the short space of four years. It
has exceeded byover one hundred
thousand copies the sale of the
previous biggest seller, "David
Harum." In making a play of
his story, the author, in collabora
tion with Mr. Reynolds, has re
tained the big dramatic possibili
ties of the book, making the love
story of "Young. Matt" and
"Sammy Lane" his big theme.
The play would be interesting
even if it only depended upon its
excellent character-drawing to
entertain, as the characters of
the mountaineers of the Ozarks
are indeed unusual upon the stage
and lend a picturesqueness that
really worth while.
A Correction
In the sworn list of those who
voted AGAINST the bond issue

ship on October 15th., the name

made the full number of 64 votes
polled by the anti-road men. Also
the correction of the date of the
expiration of the commission of
E. Edmondson, Notary Public,
In the published statment of last
week, it was made to appear 1913,
when it should have been 1915.

Left Williamston
The resignation of Rev. Geo.
J. Dowell, which went into effect
on October Ist., deprived the
town and community of an in
fluence for good that may be ap
proximated but not surpassed in
future years. Coming here seven
years ago, well known and be
loved for past work,' he entered
into the life of this people, and
his unfailing care not only for
his own congregation but for all
the people, shows wonderfully in
the lives of a goodly number.
Feeling, however, that work
elsewhere might be fuller, he has
gone to Ayden and will serve La
Grange and Winterville also. He
has a larger field there and more
opportunities for the advance
ment of the Master's Kingdom.
Last week, he moved his house
hold effects, and with Mrs. Do
wel! took up his residence in the
thriving town of Ayden. There
with his family to assist him, he
will be a beacon light to point
men to higher and better living,
exemplifying in his character
that Life which to know is peace
and joy.. Williamston and the
community regret the removal of
this godly man and woman, and
shall ever count their years here
as blessed ones.

COATED TONGUE*
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs a Dose of Dod
son's Liver Tone—Guaranteed to
Take Place of Calpmel
When your doctor looks to see
if your tongue is coated, he is
trying to find out if your liver is
working properly. A few years
ago doctors had to prescribe cal
omel-- there was nothing else to
give.
Recently in many sections of
the county Dodson's Liver Tone
has practically taken the place of
calomel as a liver remedy. Dod
son's Tone is mild, pleasant tast
ing and harmless- which makes
it a fine medicine for use when
your children become biliour and
constipated. But the- most re
markable feature of Dodson's
Liver Tone is the fact that Saun
ders & Fowden who sells it, guar
antees it absolutely. The drug
gist will return your money with
out argument if a bottle fails to
give entire satisfaction.
Price, 50 cents. We suggest
that you get a bottle today and
have it ready for the next mem
ber of youKfamily whose liver
goes wrong. A
Sexton—Gardiner
At the home of the bride's par
ents Mr. and Mrs* L. D. Gardi
ner-two miles south of James vilje,
their second daughter Miss Lyda
plighted the troth of Charlie C.
Sexton, at half past Four o'clock
st.oo a Year in Advance
Sunday, in the presence of a
large number of their friends and
relatives, the solemn vows were
spoken; the ceremony being per
formed by A. Corey Justice of
the Peace.
Before the ceremony the par
lor was filled to its utmost capa
city leaving a small isle in the
center of the room. Then came
the following attendants, Mr. J.
E. Sexton and Miss Martha Hol
liday, Mr. T. R. Martin and Miss
Lena Brown, Mr. Sam Goddard
and Miss Annabell Reddick, Mr.
Bennie Lilley and Miss Dare Sex
ton, Mr. Nathan Lilley and Miss
Mabql Sykes and Peyton Sykes
and Miss Allene Sexton: then fol
lowed the bride and groom and
stood at the hymeneal altar and
listened to the solemn words that
made the twain Ane.
Immediately the bridal party
left for the home of the groom,
where a sumptuous supper was
served, after which the evening
was spent in fun and merriment.
Old Fogyism
Being born in the county of
Martin in the town of Hamilton,
I notice in the columns of your
paper which I frequently read,
being a subscriber, I see there
has been a good deal of agitation
in the township where I once
lived over .the good roads move
nent, which I hoped would pass
by a good majority.
Now I want to say this to those,
friends of mine, some of whom
are old enough to be my father
that I regret very much their
actions in the matter. There is
nothing more sssentiai- to the
prosperity of a town or commun
ity at large than good roads I
have often heard it said that
good roads were more essential
to the prosperity of a community
than railroads. It would not be
amiss to some of the antis to get
out of the community and seethe
progress their neighbors are mak
ing towards the good roads move
ment.
The people who want good
roads in my opinion are divided
into two classes, those who want
pleasure roads, and those who
want business roads. The busi
ness roads class are the men who
want roads from their barns to
the nearest market. They are
not in town this morning, they
are at home picking cotton and
peanuts, they have no time to
argue the subject with those who
have nothing to do but sit up and
campfeign against the issue.
The men who want pleasure
roads want I suppose, the state
of North Carolina to build for
them a highway of great perfec
tion for them to ride upon in ease
and luxury. I say again that the
majority of voters in the town of
Hamilton personally are not con
cerned whether they have goosl
roads or bad roads, and I do here
by challenge any of the voters in
the town of HamiltonTto give a
good reason through the columns
of your paper WHY they voted
against the good roads movement.
