During the last three years several thousands of birds and thousands of egg* were distributed through Mr. Richardson's department. Reports to his office show that the pheasants are breeding rapidly and well but it win be some time yet, he announced, before an open season of any lengt'i would be practical. Mr. Richardson stated that it iH his plan to recommend to the next general assembly, of South Carolina to require a fishing license for all |>ersons in the state who go in for fishing in the fresh water streams of South h Carolina. Disregard of the fishing laws cause j his department more trouble than all of the other gan|e laws together, he J said, and declared that it was not fair j to protect the fishermen of the state j with the revenues brought in through' buning licenses. A fishing license, costing $1.00 would bring in to the, state approximately $100,000 a year, which could be used advantageously j toward enforcing the law, he said. | Fish laws are being enforced at! present as best as possible under the conditions that the department has to work, but the cost is being paid' by the hunters of the state. Through a fishing license, the chief game warden said, funds would be available for the employment of additional enforcement officers,^ Much needed equipment could also be purchased and operated out of such a revenue. Mr, Richardson will suggest that his department buy several trucks equipped with tanks and that when small streams and lakes dry up due to drought, the fish may be reclaimed and removed to stock running streams. 1 ?$?.. f.'il' Unique Record of Man Hunter. Sheriff J. Frank Norfleet of Halo county, Texas, has captured some bad men in hi# time?82 of them to be exact, That alone may not entitle him to distinction, but if the claim be true that h? ha? not fired a single shot to land any one of the bad men his record stands alone. Xhig unusual man hunter, not yet middle-aged, with a gray mustache, pale blue eyes, and the general aj>- ( pen ranee of a tired business man, arrived in'New York city recently on the trail of two escaped prisoners, one a murderer and the other a sfwindler. His record rtime to light at police headquarters in the great city when he sought permission to carry ft revolver while tracing down the men. "They're b:id men," he said, and j "I'll probably need the gun. The mur* 1 derer shot a woman school teacher last spring. He's a bad man. I ain t afraid of most men, but a man that, shoots -ji woman in cold blood is different. "Eighty-two men I've gone after? 82 bad men?and every one 1,'ve landed behind the bars, and I never j fired a shot at a man that anybody , knows about. When you get them like this"?whipping out a pistol with remarkable speed?"they just naturally come along without remonstrating." Alms House Head Suicides. ' Columbia, S.
