II Conservation Of | Natural Resources In a discussion of the term "conIftrvation" it is hoped that our read| will interpret it in it* broadest sense. . Just what is meant 'by conserve[tion? The terms "conwrvution" and I preservation-" are often used interI changeably which adda to the misI const ruction of the former term. Conservation, contrary to the beLief of many, does not meati that a |natural resource such as flsh, game, [forests and mineral* are to be taken lout of the public use. On the other | hand it means wise use of these resources with the. view of preserving Lame for the use and enjoyment of [future generations. It is feared that | we have lost sight of the fact that Iwe owe a definite obligation to our [posterity. % Will our children som^ [day point the finger of scorn at us [and say, "You 'have destroyed or [through your carelessness and indifference have permitted to be destroyed a heritage that is as much lours to be enjoyed as it was yours." The pioneer spirit of our ancestors still predominates in us, and we must (not forget that this spirit will live in the hearts and minds of our posterity. What right have we, therefore, to destroy or allow to be destroyed through neglect or carelessness these things which we do not own but which we have been merely appointed custodian during our life time. I ask. you again, friends, what will our answer It was the writer's privilege to attend the statewide conservation meeting recently held in Columbia. Many interesting speakers were heard, imong whom was an address by Mr. Ernest Harwood, executive secretary >f the Pennsylvania Game and Fish 7-ommission, who said1: Thirty-five years ago sportsmen in Pennsylvania came to a realization that tho state had been shot out. Game had entirely been exterminated ami forests tOQ had suffered from the inroads of lumbermen. A battle for the remnant of game left and for a restoration of that destroyed was lost. A game commission was appointed and an executive commission was appointed and an executive secretary named, and since that time the work has gone steadily forward. Sportsmen were largely responsible for the work done. Today Pennsylvania has 01) major game refuges and 76 auxiliary refuges, the acreage in each ranges from 1,000 to 16,000. In 1007 a doe deer protection law was passed. The records showed that in 11)18 there were 800 'buck deer shot in the state. - In 1031 the number had increased to 24,000. The doe/deer became so numerous that in 1031 a 15-day open season on doe deer was declared and 70,225 doe deer, were shot, making a total of doe deer sljet about 75,000. In discussing the matter from a financial end, last year 572,000 hunters' licenses had been issued; of these 8,000 were licenses to non-residents, issued at a cost of $16.00. If hunting is to be made an industry, then there must be a -place to hunt. At the present time, there were 450,000 acres of sportsmens' land in the state with access to more than 3 million acres of state forest area. More than one-half million hunting licenses were sold'at $2 each last year, thus bringing into the state above one million dollars. The value of game killed in 1932 was above ten million dollars, and the fur dealers' business amounted to above two million, five hundred thousand dollars. Estimating expenditures by sportsmen for shells, food, clothing, etc., at $6 each, Mr. Harwood said they brought business to merchants of around $3,500,000. These were some of the revenues which were secured from an expenditure of about $1,200,000. He discussed the recreational value of fishing and hunting, and the health value of great forest areas, and sketched briefly the strides that Pennsylvania had made in conservation. This address was accorded close attention by those present. Is it not, therefore, evident that with the climates we have in South Carolina that we, too, can build up a similar organization and resource: to be enjoyed by ours and our posterity?

McCown, while an attempt was being made to h#ld up the automobile service station of her husband on the High Point road, a short distance southwest of Greensboro on the night of November 11, Dave McNair, Durham Negro, stood and beard the sen- ( tence of Judge A. M. Stack that he die in the electric chair in state prison at Raleigh, March 29. "Dave McNair, do you know of any reason why the death penalty should not be pronounced upon you?" the Monroe jurist inquired. ^ "Yes," said the defendant. "I wasn't the one that did the shooting. I didn't do it. I didn't know there was going to be a robbery." Prior to imposition of the sentence attorneys for McNair asked that the verdict be set aside that a new trial be granted. The judge denied the motion and notice of appeal was given on behalf of the defendant.

McLeod & McLanchlm ** -'; . :* gSS " '?- - '"'T Appropriation Bill Cut To Five Million Columbia, Jao. 28.?A general appropriation bill totalling but $6,000,000, the lowest in more than a decade and embodying drastic slashes, was completed yesterday afternoon by the ways and means committee. It will be introduced in the house Tuesday. In writing the state supply measure, the twenty-one members of the committee carried out instructions of u house resolution to hold the total to $6,000,000. They "cut to the bone" in many placeS to do so. Several departments and institutions were abolished. Under the bill no state employee, including the governor, members of the supreme court and presidents of the state institutions of higher learning, would receive more than $3,600 salary a year. A section of the bill stipulates that no state salary shall be higher than this. State institutions of higher learning?the University of South Carolina, Winthrop, Citadel, Medical College and Clenison?were cut 50 per cent from 1032. For the state 6-0.-1 law, or public school appropriation, the committee proposes to spend $1,050,000. The appropriation last year was more than $3,000,000 and James H. Hope, state superintendent of education, told the committee that under the act an appropriation of $3,040,000 was required this year. The office of state bank examiner, held by Albert iS. <Fant, and which was under legislative fire last year, would be abolished. Other subdivisions which the committee would dis"pose of are chief game warden's office, the warehouse commissioner's office, the industrial school for girls or negro boys' reformatory after abolishment in the bill. Both are in Richland county. County farm and home agents, which the budget commission recommended cut out, were retained in the bill. The bill's total of exactly $5,000,i 000 compares with the appropriation bill enacted in 1932 of approximately I $9,400,000. The budget commission recommended approximately $6,500,000 be spent. Revenue provided in the bill is the same as last year, a two and onehalf mill properly levy and indirect revenues. Provisions for the stale deficit and indebtedness are not handled in the supply measure. To become law, of course, the measure must pass both house and senate, ways and means committee bills for the last two sessions have been killed and re-written. The $5,000,000 total is a recommendation of the Farmers and Taxpayers league, which has a number of members on the committee. Salaries of members of the general assembly would be reduced from $400 to $320. The committee applied a salary reduction scale ranging from 10 per cent on salaries and pensions under $1,000, including Confederate i veterans' pensions, upward to 42 and 1-2 per cent at $3,500. Above that figure no schedule was followed. Neville Bennett, chairman of the committee, said it viewed as binding the house resolution directing that the bill be held to five millions. Sharp changes would be made in state institutions of higher learning, including doubling of all tuition fees and requirement of entrance examinations for all prospective students. High school certificates would have no weight. The examination would be given by college authorities. Free tuition and scholarships after this school year would be abolished in the institutions?no females would be admitted to the University of South Carolina under the class of junior. Freshmen are now admitted. No college would have a compulsory student activities fee. In cutting below recommendations of the budget bureau, the committee did so against the warnings of nearly every institution that it had been cut to "bed rock" and further reductions would be disastrous to its standing. Part of the duties of the bank examiner's office would be placed under the comptroller-general. The agriculture department would assume duties of the warehouse commissioner's office. | Public night schools, which the > budget commission would have aboi-.J ished, were given an appropriation; of $16,000, as compared with $10,000 j last year. The general assembly had adjourned for the week-end when announcement was made that the bill, for which the house has been waiting, was completed. Those here felt that the biggest bone of contention on the floors of the house and senate would be the public schools appropriation, which would necessitate increased county or school district levies in many sections, they said, if school* are to continue operation. Washington Irving coined the phrase, "the almighty dollar." - Information On Crop And Livestock Loans; The county agent has recently rp- * ceived additional information blanks * and other equipment pertaining to loans being* made by the Regional * Agricultural Oe<fit Corporation of Raleigh, North Carolina, The maximum approximate loans f will be $10 per acre on cotton, $11.50 a per acre on corn, $05 per acre on potatoes, and on livestock the amount c loaned will be approximately 76 per cent of the intrinsic value of the livestock. Also loans may bo had for production of poultry, development of ? livestock industries, development of t pastures and other equipment pertain- 41 iilg to livestock development. I As pointed out previously this loan c re<iuircs more security than the Seed t Loan but perhaps not quite as much security as a commercial bank. How* ewer, ample security is deemed ncces- g sary. In cape of loans for crop pro- j duction, mortgages will be taken on c crops to be produced and in addition t on some chattels such as mulqs, cows j .etc., and it is highly desirable that t farmers borrowing through this chan-' nel be able to show that they are try- f ing to follow u balanced program of ^ farming such as have been stressed, by Clemson Extension Service. For full information those interested are requested to confer with the county agent, Henry I). Green, in the Court House in Camden. General Frank T. Hines, veteran administrator, told congress this week that on the present basis record caring for former soldiers would total $1,1)13,000,000 per year by 1950 and then slowly dwindle to $1,581,000,000 by 1906. Senator-elect McAdoo, in New Orleans, declared in an interview that the proposed domestic allotment relief plan now before congress, is too complicated for administration and needs amendments before it would be practical. A New York court has turned down a motion by attorneys of James J. Walker, former mayor, to have dismissed two suits brought against him and his wife for more than $14,000 worth of clothing allegedly purchased by Mrs. Walker.
