IhmxI was discussing the George town imbroglio. The South Carolina na vy, tho chairman of the fish commis ?ion, the State game warden and his assistants, tho Attorney General, tho Governor, the General Assembly-~~ull have hud something to say about this pretty kettle of fish. Governor MeLeod states that his position up to this time is merely to say to one set of law enforcement officials that it should not lower tho dignity of tho Stat4> by jailinK another set of law Hands chapped 7 MENTHOLATUM gently^ heals quickly and BUDDED PECAN TREES FOR SALE Standard Varieties Write For Prices W.

If tho local peace officers resort t'> the warrant in a ease like this, they might permit the arrest of officers charged with the enforcement of the liquor laws and of other laws. Hut it 'in not of laws hut of fish that this story sets forth. The Governor stated to The News and Courier correspondent that tho nets at Georgetown are two miles in length and about twenty . feet across. So that it would require a kind of super- fish to get by. Thin correspondent stated that he had heard his father say repeatedly that when he was ? lad the neighbors in Chester County would drive over to tho Great Falls of tho Catawba in (he spring and get their buggy bod ies filled with shad that had come up the river to spawn. The shad had ac tually climbed the rapids, some 185 feet to got to the quiet waters above and awHy from the predatory fish that were accustomed to prey upon the young of the shad. But the only shad that ever reaches Chester Coun ty now is packed in ice. "I remember," said Governor Mc I,eod, "when I was a boy on Lynches* river, there was a man named .John Durant, a celebrated character about whom a volume could I x? written. He had a fish yard that supplied the city ot Sum ter and intermediate points. He had a negro man of varied accomplish ments, named Lowery, who had earn ed enough money by odd jobs to buy his freedom before the war ? the father of the well-known negro wri ter and preacher, L E. Lowery. Shad were plentiful in that section then, but we never see any now. Durant's fish yard was a place of renown and Lowery carried the fish to market. "However, as a matter of fact," said Governor McLeod, "I do ? not know whether there would be any shad in these waters even if there were no nets below. I was a mem ber of the original fish commission of this State and at the time I learn mi a lot about the habits of fish. The shad does not like a muddy stream. Fifty or sixty years ago, there, were more forests, and less erosion, the streams were not as muddy as they ] are now. Lynches' river has cleared up quite ^ lot in the last four years, but I think it is doubtful if shad would come up that stream in any number even now if there w^re no nets."

"If the jut-y had found you guilty of manslaughter," the judgo told Ilill, "I would have let the verdict stand, It seems to be the order of the day that pedestrians must get out of the ;vay of speeding, autoists, notwith standing the fact the law says spe-j cifically that a driver must riot run. over a certain speed."
