The HMft session of the legislature is now in session, un<l once again the South Carolina Came un<! Fish Association will ask it for a New l>eal in gijme an<l fish affairs in the stute. This New Deal is not for the members of the Association alone, but for the rank an<l file of hunters and fishermen over the entire state. During the first two years of our associations' life many people had the erroneous impression that it was working for some selfish end?was out to get something for itself. This year this impress-ion has been pretty well dispelled, and for 'the first time we are approaching the legislature with a united front, with the support of tire thinking public, and with the full cooperation of the State Came an<l Fish Department. During the month of December the Charleston, Orangeburg and Cheater Chapiters have been reorganized and are taking an active part in the furtherance of our program. New ehapters have been organized, or are in * the process of organization in the following towns: I^ancaster, Kingstree, Georgetown, Marion, Mullins, Conway and Rock Hill. In addition many counties have inquired as to the steps to be taken in the formation of a local chapter, and expeetaions are that there will be an active chapter in practically every county in the state by the time the legislature takes up consideration of the bills being introL duee-d- by the Association. This week, will see the beginning of the distribution of fifty thousand leaflets prepared by the association setting forth the four major hills it is J sponsoring at the present ses.s^/fl of .* the legislature. These leaflets will 1 be distributed in every county in the ; state, and in addition to thv Mimmary of -The bills, it carries :t plea to join - the association, and to urge the vaiiou? county delegations to support and work for the much needed reforms in the game and huh luws that this association is working and striving to obtain. The Game und Fish Commission { Hill, the Zoning Hill, Civil Service Examination Hill, an<l the Fishing Hi-' censo Hill have all been drawn by the .legislative Committee of the Association, und will be discussed with the House and Senate Conuniltees on game und fish as soon as they havej been appointed. It is hoped that these J four bills will receive a favorable re-/* port fro|m these committee.-, and that * they can be introduced dunng the; first week of the legislature. ' The ground work has been I aid for t3 the success of our program. Whether b or not it will In* success fui depends I W upon the legislature, and upon til#, fl rank an<i file of hunters and fisher- tl men in the state. If they will throw b the weight of their influence behind k !this association by mass membership p the legislature will listen to us, end give us what we want, if the thoUfands of hunters and ffchwmen In t the state take no interest in better- ? ing conditions, then our program will I fail. The legislature votes for what * they think the majority of the people I want. The final decision On OUT pro- B gram is up to the citizens of the c state. Th- atoViation has exerted itp c f>est effort*, and wrll continue to do so, 4 but final victory or defeat rest in e the hand* of the public ye ere try- ing to serve. t A fifty cent membership in the 1 state association sent to Weat Ja- < (inks, Columbia, S.

A*4 Sings When Told Of j Date For Execution! i __________ i New Orleans, Dee. UK.?Louis Kenneth Neu, dapper young confessed killer to two men, broke into a jaunty song today when told that Governor O. K. Allen had fixed February 1 as the date for his execution by hanging.

Neu, whose home is in Savannah, Ga., confessed after his arrest in New Jersey that he had slain Lawrence N. Shead, Paterson, N. J., theatre manager, a week before he ktiied Clark. New Jersey authorities surrendered him to officers here upon the state's promise that ho would l>e returned for trial if a death verdict was not given in Louisiana. Neu appeared in court for his trial weurintg the suit he took from Clark's body and the shoes he removed from Shoad's body. 'Polite Thief ; Surprise lockage Tw.

II | WE WELCOME NEW ACCOUNTS THE ONLY NATIONAL BANK IN KERSHAW COUNTY Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1928. BOYS WILL BE BOYS . . I/eck Lhllard, with whom 1 graduated in the seventh grade in a country school Ion#, long ago, came to see me last Thursday afternoon. He had his 2 sweet little boys with him, l^esrtor and James. I had not seen Ixx-k in 15 years ami (fortunately) I had never met Jyestcr and James at all. 1 was glad to see Leek at first. . . Jyester and James were into everything in my office in less than 5 minutes. While the*former was tearing up the adding machine, the latter was operating on the typewriter. They pulled keys off of those things just like a guy picks grapes from u bunch. They biffed them, slammed them, and did everything eli^e but stomp this office eqiupment. Leek didn't seem to notice that anything wrong was going on^ . . Each one of these darling angels rang my Western Union and Postal call buttons 17 times apiece. I had messenger boys swarming around'the place like it was a cotton exchange. (Before I could stop him, Lester had pulled the telephone loose from its mooring and had the cord tied around James' neck, leading him about and telling him to "gid-dap." I was sweating blood, but 'Leek was undisturbed: guess he was used to it. . .1 had a table-type waste basket;. James had crawled into it and had got hung, but Lester got him out by 1 tearing off one side of it. They were using my extra fountain pen for a squirt gun. Ink was plentiful, I am very sorry to say. Every drawer in my filing cabinet was open and the boys were using them for stair-steps, to get on top of my "system." Half of my correspondence was on the floor: one of them had found a piece of candy and the other guy thought he would find another piece if he'd tear up everything. . . I>ester had a nice sling shot, but he never busted out but three window panes and broke only 2 lamp globes. W hile this was going on James amused himself trying to work the combi- I nation on my safe with a claw-ham- j nu*r. They finally located the desk] drawer where 1 keep my pliers,' sc new-drivers, scissors, paper clips,! and other things useful around a, wholesale place. They scattered those i things about like a farmer sows his I w heat. ..I like Leek all right, but he will never succeed in getting into the interior of my office again if Lester and James are with him. A cyclone aint nothing compared with those brats. It took my stenographer and j me 11 days to find the 3 and 9 and -1 ! and b that wore taken off the adding machine, and we have not yet located! the Z and the 7 and the Y and the i K an the R keys that belong to the typewriter. The janitor worked over time the next morning getting the things adjusted so's I could sit down at my desk. If those boys aint in the ehairngang in 3 more months, justice is dead in this country, yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd, eorry spondent.
