Game Wardens Strict in Law ' En
forceemat.
The following statement from
Chief Game Warden Richardson
will nd doubt be of interest, especial
ly so to thoie who hunt.
I The State Game Department has (
' already this season convicted 462 t
people for violating the game and n
fish laws. A large percentage of s
these convictions grew out of cases c
I where people^ttempted to hunt with- a
II out hunting licenses, especially dur- a
'ing the holidays. Each and every I
county game warden nas Deen oraer-i
ed to be on the alert and to thorough- j
ly over his county during the holi
days and to demand of every hunter
to show that he has the proper kind
of license. Also, a good many spe
cial deputies are covering different
sections of the State with positive
instructions to see that every per
son hunting has the proper kind of
license and that the game and fish
laws are obeyed.
In order that those who wish to
hunt may understand exactly what
is necessary for them to have in the
way of licenses, he states that:
"All non-residents of South Caro
lina, regardless of whether they own
land in this state or not, are re
quired to procure what is known as
a non-resident hunting license, the
cost of which is $15.25. A non-resi
dent holding such license is entitled
to hunt in any county in the state.
A bona fide resident of any coun
ty wishing to hunt in the county in
which he lives, is required to procure
what is Ipiown as a county hunting
license, the cost of which is $1.10.
A county hunting license is only sale
able to a resident of the county, and
a resident of one county cannot go
into another county and buy a coun
ty license.
A bona fide resident of South Car
olina wishing to hunt outside of the
county in which he lives is required tl
to procure what is known as a state'
hunting license, the cost of which is
$3.10. A state hunting license en
titles the holder thereof to hunt in
any county in the state. ^ i
Licenses can be obtained from the
Cpunty Game Wardens, or any of
their agents, said agents being lo
cated in practically every town in
each county. i
The penalty for violation of the
resident license law is $25.00, and
th6 penalty for violation of the non
resident license' law could be as
much^as $500.00.
All persons who expect to do any
hunting are warned that it will be
well for them to procure the proper
kind of license. '

Chief Game Warden.

Columbia, Dec. 29.?A good many
autoists of the state have already
jmade application for new license
j plates, despite the fact that the state
j highway department is receiving the
new plates, for 1922, very slowly.
The makers of the? plates for 1922
have fallen down in the matter of
j delivery, according tb L. H. Thomas,
secretary of the department. As yet,
Mr. Thomas says, only a few plates
have been received, though January
1 is the time for delivering the new
licenses. The new plates, however,
are expected this week, and Mr.
Thomas says he hopes the depart
ment will be in position to deliver
the plates on time during the coming
month.
All automobile owners are re
quired to take out new license plates
a*;ng the month of January. Own
3 ers l

INTERESTED IN G0VERNMEN1
To Burden it Very Hoary?Want i
Bad Check Law With Teeth* in
it Sayi Wannamaker.
Columbia, Dec. 29.?The Soutl
Carolina Retail Merchants Associa
ion will, through its legislative com
nittee, take an active interest iz
everal important matters to b<
onsidered by the general assembly
t it^ session which starts January 1(
ccording to a statement today by L
[. Wannamaker, Jr., secretary of the
83ociation.
The tax situation will be the chiel
latter before the merchants, in the
ray of legislation, and the second
lost important measure will be a
roposed new law against the issue
f bad checks.
"The tax burden which 'the mer
hants have been compelled to carry
as been heavy and is out of propor
on to that imposed upon other
lasses of property," according to
le statement by Mr. Wannamaker.
he merchants will contend for
suitable treatment, this being the
hief objective. We believe the legis*
itors can be shown that the mer
aants are being discriminated
gainst, 'and we believe appropriate
:tion to remedy the situation will
e jlui ui<;uming.
Regarding the proposed bad check
w, Mr. Wannamaker states that
sports indicate that the merchants
I the state have been th? victims of
ad checks in larger numbers thii
ast fall than ever before in a like
eriod. The /general opinion, Mr.
Wannamaker states, is that the pre
:nt law is inadequate and that more
rastic action is necessary^ to deter
aople from, issuing checks which are
Dt backed up with money, for ob
lining money or goods, or credit
Arrangements have already been
lade," Mr. Wannamaker states, "for
le introduction in the house and
?nate of bills providing for string
n? handling of persons issuing false
tiecks. The proposed law will be
opied after a new law enacted by
le legislature of Alabama recently,
