Surrounding this lake are several nice homes, and it is said late in the afternoon bullets have been whiasing perilously near people, houses and horses, which is very danigerous. This has caused the mill management to have posters pldced ! in conspicuous places all around the woods and lake. These warnings should be sufficient as the game warden will be unusually active in this section and a heavy, penalty in state and Federal courts will be inflicted on those caught violating. Those no.tices read as follows: "These woods beautify your sur-> foundings which you onjoy. Please help prptect them by keeping fires out of them?do not smoke or light fires. If a fire starts, please put it out. Cutting of trees and shrubbery or dumping refuse i* absolutely prohibited. No hunting in the woods or around the pond or fishing in the pond is allowed except by permission. There is a Federabtaw against shooting summer ducks. Wo have some on the pond and the game warden will prosecute anybody for so doing." It has also been reported that certain parties have been offering quail for sale and that certain citizens have been buying them. This is a strict violation of thp game laws and all true sportsmen are- requested to frown on this practice and report all such violations. Hi-De-Ho Revue Here Next.

J Chester Winner of Championship Game (By Rupert Fuller in Columbia State) With drive? too powerful for their rivals, Cheater high school took the clae? B state championship cup home last night for the three years by virtueof victory yesterday afternoon on Melton Field over Camden, lower state champions*. The score was 18 to 7. Over two thousand spectators watched the game. . Camden, champions of class B last year, threw fu scare into the ranks of the Red Cyclones when a touchdown was scored in that period. Yesterday's game saw "two old, rivals who have been in the top rank of clas^ B football since the high ! School league was organised, pitted against each other. The winners, relying on power plays, outclassed the low-statera, who relied on smoothly run deceptive plays, except for the brief drive which netted a score in "the fourth period. Both teams were in championship form. With a better line and bettor interference,. Chester and "Camden on the defensive for the greater part of the contest. Both teams would doubtless have scored more except for the superb punting of Thompson for Camden, and of Lee for Chester. Their punting, together with their broken field running, was the feature of the game. . . ..?>" Chester early established its premacy over Camden. With the game hardly five minutes old, Cheater had scored on a -34-yard pass from Lee to Weir. Chester's final score was made early in the third quarter. The ball was driven from raidfield with tassels and ?Lee gaining play after play. It was carried over from the ^one-foot line by Hopper. *"~ runs, Cassels broke through the cen-^ ter of Camden's line for 15' yards. He followed this by another dash of 12. Lee, however, lost five yards, and on the next play his pass was grounds ed. Standing in kick formation, Lee shot a beautiful pass to Weir who got behind Camden's secondary' defense and caught the ball on the fouryard marker, going over the line Standing up, Leo's trip from placement for the extra point wa's wide. Chester scored as early in the second half as they had in the beginning of the game. Cornwell kicked off to Camden. Unable to gain, .^hompsoit.punted out to Chester's. 45yard line where a drive was started which ended in a touchdown. Hopper got four through the line. Lee added eight. Cassejs got sdx in two playe, and Lee added four. Lee broke through right tackle and cut back for 16 yards. Thompson, stopped him. Morrison added five, put core. The Bulldog line tightened, but was not strong enough to withstand the attack. ^The ball was carried over, from the one-foot line by Hopper. Hopper failed ih his try for extra point from placement. The game ended after Thompson had shot Banders a pass which netted 80 yards, carrying the ball again into Chester territory. Chester made 13 first downs to Camden's 7. f % i Chester's two brilliant running mates, Lee and Cassels, whose fine work we8 mage? possible by the unusually good blocking of the other, backs, coupled with a slightly stronger line, gave the up-state champions ( the edge in the contest. Morrison and . Hopper were outstanding in their defense work and blocking. Lee's passing, while not as good as Efspunt-' ing, was sufficient to be a continuous threat to the low-staters. In the line, the playing of Gladden . for Chester and Jacksoh for Camden, 1 both centers, was of a high order. 1 Captain Gregory at left tackle, Weir < and Grant played best for Cheater in their-line with the exception of the center. Thompson's brilliant kicking and running were outstanding for Camden. The other three backs, Tea in, Wooten and Haynes, functioned well. Ihe reverses and htterals employed by the losers were especially well ex- 1 Bcuted. ' \ In the line Camden had several outstanding players fat addition to < Jackson.
