The season for dove* will open on
fteptemfcfer 1, and according to A. A.
Richardson, report# are that th< birds
ate plentiful in practically all sections
of the elate. The season will
close on September 3ft, hut will open
again on November 2ft through January
31.
The deer season opaucd on August
15 and since that time a number of
successful hunt* have been held, Mr.
^ Richardson said.*Deer also appear
- '<* plentiful this year and to date the
ntate game warden has not found it
necessary to put on closed (seasons
in any areas because of flood conditions
as was the case last falL
It will" probably be three years be-'
fore it will be possible to declare a
short open season on pheasants. 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."

JONKH NAMRIj RECEIVE*
Brother of l>eed President in darfe
of l^ucutcr Bonk
Lancaster, Aug. 26.?At a meeting
Ira B. J one# wao elected receiver for
the First Bank and Truat company,
which has been in the hand* of the
state bank examiner since the suicide
of its president, (Charles D. Jones,
July 24. A crowd which filled every
available seat, the aisles and doorway
packed the Lancaster county courthouse.
%
The meeting was in charge of Albert
S. Fant, state bank examiner,
ami two of his associate*, M. Calhoun
and Mr, Scarborough. In the
crowd were white and negro depositors.
Mr. Fant stated the object of
the meeting, which was to elect a receiver.
At this point an affidavit
given by Mrs. Lena Heath Jones was
read by Solicitor H. Bines, in which
it was shown that the estate of Ohas.
D. Jones, president of the bank and
husband of the affiant, was indebted
to her to the amount of approximately
$68,4)00, consisting of various promissory
notes. This amount she proposed
to waive in favor of the bank,
j provided Ira B. Jones, brother of the
I late senator, was elected receiver. In
a statement made by the examiner to
n question by one of the depositors
developed the fact that when he assum?"d
the jofTice of state bppk exam
j iner President Jones was indebted to
the bank in the s\im of $102,000 but
! this had later been reduced to $H0,000.
It was further shown that Ira
B. Jones, a director and stockholder
of the bank, was ii debtor to the extent
of $0,000.
Asked as to the condition of the
hank by one of the depositors the examiner
through his associates, state 1
that after charging off all doubtful
papers he was under the impression
that the bank could probably be liquidated
with one-third loss to the de
positors.
Considerable feeling developed
when nominations for receiver were
made and the examiner frequently
had to rap for order. Four names
were placed in nomination, E. C.
Bridges, B. C. Hough, Ira B. Jones
and Max G. Brittain. Jones received
a majority vote of the depositors and
stockholders.
The meeting was called for twelve
o'clock and was in session until six.
The suicide of Charles D. Jones,
president of the defunct bank, created
a sensation throughout the state.
He represented Lancaster county In
the state senate and bad been in the
public eye for the past few years.
CRQpS OF STATE.
Weather Conditions Last Week Favorable
to Growth.
Cf
Columbia.?All crops are in good
growing condition, according to the
synopsis of weather and crop conditions
issued by Richland H. Sulivan,
meteorologist, for the week which
ended August 20. Seasonable temperatures
and ample rainfall prevail-*
bver tKe state except in the Piedmont,
where local drought was experienced
in some sections.
Sweet potatoes, field truck, gardens
and forage are growing vigorously,
but rain is needed in the higher
elevations. Young corn also reflects
such Conditions, with advance according
to rainfall. Fodder pulling
Xi'dni the old crop Is in progress.
While there hhs been complaint of
shedding in local areas of the Piedrrtoht,
the cotton crop as a whole U
vigorous and has made good to excellent
progress. Old cotton that escapee!
damage by the May winds has
practically finished fruiting with bolls
to the top in many fields. The late
crop is blooming and fruiting freely.
Weevil activity has increased in the
central and southern sections where
rains have been plentiful, but ravage*
have been materially reduced by
persistent and systematic poisoning
in large areas when weather condi-'
tions were favorablfe. Picking is progressing
slowly.
Fall cabbage and beans are coming
up on the coast and considerable native
hay has been harvested.
Watermelons, apples, pears and
good vegetables are being marketed.

atth^Wlinf flight , while , pr?parittiom>
went feverishly ahead for the
craft to ?c?r away before midnight
for Lakehurst, N. J., on the final
wing around the globe.
In the golden shimmer of sunrise,
the mighty ship of the air moored
today after conquering the stormy
Pacific on the flight from Tokyo.
Reaching the coastline at San Francisco
amid the rays of the setting
sun yesterday, I>r. Hugo Eckener, jts
commander, circled the bay region
and then Pleaded for Los Angeles,
hovered near the city through the
hours before dawn and headed for
the mooring mast as the new day
broke.
. i.
By 5:35 a. m., the aerial visitor had
been made fast, and the happy passengers
had descended from the calkin.
And what a happy lot they were
r -?representing several nations? for
they were the first to span the Pacific,
greatest of oceans, in a nonstop
flight. There was Sir Hubert
Wilkius, explorer of many strange
lands, who said the trip had been
"marvelous" and a "wonderful experience."
Equally as enthusiastic was Lieut.
Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, hero
of the .Shenandoah disaster, who
characterized the ocean-crossing athe
"finest flight" he had ever had.
The other passengers expressed their
enthusiasm in the superlative.
A forty-eight hour hop to Lakehurst,
starting about 11 o'clock tonight,
is expected to complete the
around-the-world cruise. Twelve
days of actual flying, the shortest
time in which man has girdled the
globe, is believed by the Zeppelin officials
an achievement almost within
sight.
PACKING PLANT CHARTERED.
Concern Will Build and Operate Canning
Establishments.
Columbia, Aug. 19.?In order to
provide facilities for canning the vast
amount of fruits and vegetables
which will likely be produced next
year in South Carolina, by reason ?J (
the "iodine" campaign, the Carolina

now ready for operation.
This concern designs, builds and
operates canning factories; it believes
there is almost unlimited opportunity
for profitable operation of
canning plants, under expert management,
in South Carolina, and it
claims to be provided to furnish that
expert'management. Not only does
this concern propose to manage factories
over a certain period for per
cent, of the net profit, but it also proppses
to find a market for the manufactured
goods.
The Carolina Packers design the
buildings, install machinery, provide
expert direction until a local man is
trained in the work and sells the output.
It holds thtt the scores of canning
plants which have met with disaster
in South Carolina were not ex^rtly
managed.
Officers of the concern were in conference
yesterday with l>r. \V. W.
l*ong, heat! of the extension force* of
Clemson college, who they said, expressed
a desire to cooperate so long
as the concern moved along lines
which I)r. Long considered advisable.
Through this concern, communities
in different sections of the state may
operate canning plants thus taking
care of vegetables and fruits produced
in driving radius of that particiS*
lar point. With such establishments
over the state a vast amount of food
products may be cared for.
t The purpose of the Carolina Packers
is set forward in the charter of
the concern "to build and operate
canning factories and to act as factory
agents for carming factory supplies;
to buy and sell produce of all
kinds: to own and operate farms; to
buy and sell lands; bo build and operate
factories for the manufacture of
boxes, cans, glass and any -other canning
factory supplies." The capital
