The hunter buys n license but the fisherman pays none, though it is obvious he would reap a larger harvest from such an investment. This lack of a license a;<0 permits foreign fishermen to come within our borders and pose as ' South Carolinian'.^to avoid buying the non-resident's license. And \ve do absolutely nothing to r replenish the supply. ' On the contrary, with gopd roads opening up the wild fastnesses, fishermen have swarmed the streams and literally wiped out tons of fish in the past few years, traps and koines helping. The best fishing streams in the ?;ate have been literally fished' out one after another. A given body of water can support only a given number of fish. This number is not indefinite. With gangs of fishermen cing from 50 to 200 fish in a day, every day in the week, the fish are caught down so low they can not survive against their natural enemies. Until these things are changed- and our fish given some protection they will continue to be wiped out as fast as a stream is reported to have fish ir. it?as we have seen happen to stream after stream in the past few years. ?

They are said to be wulking straddle of the rows. At any rate an old mare belonging to Mr. M, 11. Starnes, of Buford, is having a hard time, getting adjusted to the new deal.' All spring as for years buck, Mr. j "Starnes switched her lor letting a! careless foot smash a young cotton j plant. So when he hitched up to begin running Mis bull tongue under! the cotton and it became necessary for her to walk on top the row, she rebelled. She refused to go back on years of training. Mr. Starnes began-to switch her for not doingjwhat he had formerly switched her fdr doing, and it broke bis heart to treat her so, as it seemeirto break hers for having to do such an unusual thing. She bucked as long as she could and tried to make him understand that he was making a powerful mistake, and whon he didn't relent and she was forced on top the row, why, she just cried about it.?Monroe Journal. Death of Mrs. Williams Mrs. Sam Williams, who resided in the Buffalo section of Kershaw county, which is just across the Lancaster county line, died on Monday afternoon. Funeral services were held on Tuesday at that place with a large congregation present at the last rites, including many from this city. Rev.

The public works board at Washington has given its approval to the construction of the Grand Coulee dam in the Colombia river in Washington, as a part of a huge reclamation development in that state. The project is estimated to cost $00,000,000, and the approval was given at the specific request of President Roosevelt. The jury hearing the case at Kansas City, Mo., against Walter McGee, on trial for the kidnaping of Miss Mary McElroy, brought in a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty of death upon him. This is the first time that a kidnaper has been sentenced to death in the United States. T^he American Federation of Labor yesterday opened southern headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., with George L. Googe in charge. The federation will try to organize all southern workers, including those of the white collar Class, into unions. It will combat rackets and racketeering wherever found. James A. Moffett, vice president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, has resigned his office and with that severed himself from the $100,000 salary per year that he has .been drawing. It is state<Pin Washington that he may be appointed to a supervisory board with broad powers in directing the NRA policies regulating the oil industry. William E. Morris, of Neuces county, Texas, was the first person to receive a check from the government for plowing up cotton. The check was handed to the Texas farmer personally by President Roosevelt at the White House, he having traveled to Washington by airplane to receive it. The check was for $517. Morris plowed up 47 acres of his cotton crop. In addition to the check he received an option on 23 1-2 bales of cotton at 6 cents a pound, which he can sell at his pleasure. The cashier and assistant cashier of the Farmers bank at Taylorsville, N. C., were shot down and perhaps fatally wounded early Saturday j morning by two of four bandits who attempted to hold up and rob the bank. Two of the bandits inside the bank fired on the officers when they failed to hold up their hands as ordered by the robbers. Two of the robbers were captured later in the day by posses of Taylorville who went after them. One of the arrested men is alleged to have confessed the crime and implicated the others. A Chicago grand jury.has handed in a blanket indictment in which many prominent men figure, following an investigation of several months into the labor and trade racketeering game in that city. Included in the list of indicted men as fostering the racketeering game are Dr. B. M. Squires, Chicago university lecturer on economies and at present a Federal labor mediator; Aaron Sapiro. a noted New York lawyer; Alderman Oscar Nelson, Republican leader of the city council and lawyer; "Scarface Al" Capone, now in prison in Atlanta; Murray Humphreys, Capone's heir and others prominent in Chicago affairs/ A /' .

My wife and family are spending the summer (and nearly everything else) in the mountains. 1 am keeping batch at our leading hotel. I am getting along fine, thank you, but I ran into trouble one day last week. ..Leek Brown, an old school mate of mine, blowed into my office Thursday morning; Leek married Lulie Jones several year9 ago and moved to Texas. I had just about forgot all about this couple. Leek had not changed much; he wore a nice stringy beard and his nose was somewhat redder, but otherwise, he was the same old Leek. ..I wanted to prove to Leek that I still loved him, but I thought he was travelling alone when I invited him to go up to the hotel and take lunch with me.* He readily accepted the invitation, but told me his family was outside; I assured him that they were included in that invitation. I expected a wife and possibly one child, plus Lock, to constitute the family. ..I walked out to meet Leek's folk< and when I visioned the spectacle, 1 olmost swooned. There was lack's fulks; Lulie and 9 children in a truck; the oldest, Bill, was about 11 and the others were stepping stones to the twin's in Lulie's lap- They were enroute to Lulie's ma's home ginia....to sp/nd two weeks. I told Leek to drive up behind the hotel and unload, and ho did so. ..The flock poured into the hotel lobby and brought consternation to the clerk and 6 bell hops. I got my key, and crowded the litter into the elevator; 3 of the kids enjoyed that elevator, but all the others were scared put nigh to death and such hollering, I never heard before. I took them into my suite. In two minutes, the 5 boys had busted GG dollars worth of my stuff. ..Nothing could control that bunch. Sam threw my throat medicine out of the window. Sue and Joe were in the bath-tub. Julie had pulled the 4 * ? 9 . iiaHBSr r " " . 3 window shades from their rollers and King had practically ruined. ,< typewriter.

I < got them out of the room/ We walk- i ed 5 floors to the dining-room and i then trouble started sure enough. i ..Bob turned over 2 tables; Bert hit , the head-waitress with an orange; | knives, forks and spoons were ankle deep all over the floor.

We do not need a feddera! bilding ' at pressent, but will bild one if you ' think we will have anny more whiskey cases and lawsuits against the ! gowerment for war claims, but if ' you will let us settle our past duo detts and pny our scholl teechers and other members of the citty force, it will help us a heap more than bilding new bildings ansoforth. J . + you see, if we could get out of dett right away, we could go back in dett attain and spend all the monney we! could possibly borrow like we have benn doing in the past, btit we can't borrow nothing now onner count wc. owe more than we are worth and it keeps our noses on the grindstone/ to pay intrust, but we have plenty scrip to'"'pay bur poleesman and the feller what drives the saniterry wag-' gin. ^ 1 / 0 ' - " 'J t--'Jt do what you can to let us pay out ;ash from yore recovery act on our past* due detts and bonds and then everthTn# will be hunky-dory with us and our creddick will be restored, and all we need is1 creddick at this time, if we decide to b'ld annything with this monney, we mought decide on a staddium for our boys torlearn how to play foot ball on' ertduring vpta,1 turn. well, if it is against the rules to J pay our detts with this recovery! monney, send it on anyhow and we j warrantee to spend ever cent of it I for one thing and another, we need i hospittle for crippled dogs and :ats mighty bad onner count of cars I running over same in the streets, but we, can use a bigger post oflfis and a fedderal bilding for lawsuits and income tax agents. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. citty clerk. . ~M Mrs. Vera Carl, 07, convicted in Chicago on a charge of murdering her husband, has been sentenced to serve 14 years in prison.

It was the best way to make bodies?then. But the state of the art has advanced. Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-stool body than to make a v^oodon frame and nail steel panels on to it. Tho hotter way involves an initial expenditure of several millions af dollars for now dies, which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially largo expensive cars which are produced in small Vdlumo, cannot afford this", bocause'the* dies cost as much for one car as for a million,, That alone explains why allsteel bodies are not used i,n all cars. V . ? But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good oar better, regardless of cost. For example, when we disoarded wood-steel body construction, it was not because we lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the best hard wood in America. Economy would urge us-to use up the wood first, and then adopt the better all-steel body. But we decided that quality was more important than expense. We weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change. We could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body ?nailing the fcetal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaper?for us. Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel body is not much stronger structurally than its wopden frame. In all American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays. A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction. Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact?dented per?? haps, but not crushed. Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for furniture, but not for the "highspeed vehicles of 1933. In the Ford body there are noxjoints to squeak, no seams to crack or leak. The aJLl-steel body is more expensive?to us, but not to you. By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable. Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an electrically welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs to be "strengthened" by adding wood to it. ^ The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, most durable body made. That is our only reason for making them. August 7th, 1933 NOTICE TO TEACHERS 1 We are accepting State Teacher's Notes, maturing in 1934, at face value, for merchandise and payments - j of accounts.
