ANGLERS LICENSE REVENUE UP Interesting are figures on hngI e rs' licenses Just released by tbe Wilted States bureau of flsherlei) and compiled from information given by the reporting state for their last twelve mofiths It hIiowh that a uuartor-mllllon more fishing licenses were issued than during th?> previous year, with prospects of another increase this year, but South Carolina is participating only m eagerly. More than three-and-a-half million dollars is the sum the anglers in the. United States paid last year for permits to pursue the finny tribe. This represents strictly Ashing licenses, resident and nonresident, but lb any states issue u combination hunting and fishing license, and this joint revenue added to th< fishing, makes an amazing total of better than seven millfoti^aollars. N'ow York alone reached nearly a million dollars from fishing* and combination bunting and fishing, licenses, to lead all the states. California, Michigan. Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Washington represent the other power-house states that run their revenue up Into the four-hundred-thous.iftid dollar class. More than half the states?twenty-six to be exact?collect better than one-hundred thousand dollars annually from the anglers. South Carolina? Well, thank goodness for Georgia. Soutli Carolina sold K4 non-resident licenses during the year and added $840 to Us game department funds. Georgia iRHtied only f>7 licenses at five dollars each and kept us out of the cellar. North Carolina collected $40.049.r?0; Virginia $195.621; Florida $38,641. At the past session of the state legislature two fishing revenue ineasurea were Introduced in the House, for the purpose of increasing the revenue to the game and fish department. Que (111960) called for a statewide resident license of $3.10 and a county license of $1.10 on the angler ualng artificial tackle.' Thla measurp finally died on the calendar with many objections and other complications against it. Another meaauro (11 1967) asked that the non-reaident license he reduced from $10.26 to $6.25, with- a tourist or short term license of two days for $1.10. Thla meaaure went to Hecond reading and was held there on account of objections against it. These objections were finally withdrawn by the members and the bill went gaily to third reading only to there suffer the fate of ull guine and fish measures. Kveryone knows that more than 84 out of staters fished in South Carolina last year. We contend it practlcully Impossible to enforce the too-high nonresident license as long as there la no resident license required, no license buttons are displayed, and It Is extremely difficult for the game wardens to spot non-residents. With the great number of fish nursery ponds constructed about the state and the dozen fish hatcheries recently built through the Influence of the state game department, some revenue from the anglers Is needed by the South Carolina department. ?Other states have it, but other states are ahead of us in game and fish progress. SAY CLIMATE HA9 LITTLE EFFECT ON TUBERCULOSIS Sanatorium. N. July 27.?Contrary to general belief climate plays * very little part in recovery from tuberculosis ami a patient can recoverl from this disease as well in North Carolina as in the so-called "health country" of the West, according to a booklet on tuberculosis prepared by the National Tuberculosis association and distributed by the extension department of the North Carolina Sana-> torium. Years ago it was thought that certain climates were good for tuberculosis"-if declares. "Climate does help not any one climate, but the climate that is agreeable to the patient. If the air is .bracing and the sunshine alluring, it is of course much < asier to take the cure out of doors. Hut careful study of thu different san- j atoria shows that the treatment of tuberculosis is successful in any climate in the i'nlted States. "People can afford to travel to a pleasant climate where they will also have all that is needed for the cure and where they will not get homesick may he wise in doing so. Hut if one has to give up good medical and nursing care, comfort and friends tor the sake of climate, it is a poor bargain. "Many a person Iuib lost his chance to get well by rushing to a faraway place Some went to the woods and roughed it.' not knowing that rest is far more important than open air and exercise A few people still have the mistaken idea that climate alone will cure. They spend part of their savings for a railroad ticket. Soon their money gives out, they try to find a light job. they take -a dark, cheap ' room and skimp on food. Homesick I and alone, they strugggle on in a; losing battle." Lassos Fish Conway, July 24.?J. W. Hewitt and his son claim to have "lassoed" a Ash. Angling in the Waccam&w river, they pulled In a 14-pound carp and found the line, instead of being fastened in the fish's mouth by the hook, was wound around a fin. holding him securely. DROUGHT SURVEY SHOWS LACK FOOD AND FEED Clemson, July 25.?Approximately 1 in.one farmer* In South Carolina are in current (listreus with need of im! mediate aid in the forfii of work or direct relief, and 12.000 farmers will need some form of j elief for obtaining food for their families and feed for their livestock during the summer and fall, according to a survey made hv the Clemson extension Service as of July 1.*:' Regarding the need for food among these farmers, the survey shows that only -IX per cent of a needed supply- . of food from gardens and food crops will he produced in the state, the percentage in the Piedmont being ot.ly 2'1 per cent As to com and other I crops it is estimated that the yield I will he only ?>4 per cent of corn needled on the farms of the state, and 72 | per cent of a'needed yield of hay and | other food crops. In the I'iedmont. section, where drought has been most severe, only lit per cent of a needed corn crop and 50 per cent of a needed hay crop will ho made. As a result of decreased yields of cash crops, and the consequent low farm income this fall, thousands of farmers will bo unable to buy seeds tor fa 11 plantings of food and feed crops. Practically all counties report that farmers will need seeds for small grain crops, gardens, and winter legumes. The Kxtension Service has furnished this information to the relief agencies In the state, and also to the Secretary of Agriculture's special drought committee at Washington, which has designated 29 counties in South Carolina to which special relief will bo extended. Man Sees First Movie Sumter. July 25.?M. Hunter White has lived in Sumter county and the city of Sumter all his life and he is J now past 60 years old, but it was not until Friday night that he had ever visited a picture show. The pictures of the Sohnieling-Louis fight drew him to see what other bigger and more widely advertised features had failed to do. "Just fine," was Mr. White's | reaction, when asked how he liked the show. I Now is the time I I to buy a farm? I I HAVE SOME FOR SALE AT A BARGAIN, AND I SMALL RATE OF INTEREST. A GOOD WAY TO I INVEST YOUR BONUS. | See me at Hotel Camden any Tueaday 1 I H. G. BATES, Sr. I Snake Helpless As Forced Into Cage A throe and u half toot timber rattlesnake, one of the moat deadly polsonoua reptiles in thla section of tlie country, yesterday waa brought buck to the Charleston museum by F. N. Meek. The serpent was raptured on one of the truck farina Juat across the Ashley river. It was put in the reptile room in the cage with the smaller timber rattlers already there. 4 Mr. Meek's contribution has only eight rattles but E. Burnham Chamberlain, curator of science at the museum, suid that the snake ' lost a good many rattles." Contrary to the opinion of many, rattles on a snake do not have relation to his age. It is a popular idea among the I?w <;ountry folk that each rattle on a rattlesnuke represents a year of existence. Mr. Chumborlaln exploded this theory by stating that each rattle records u shedding of the skin. He s^tld timber rattlers usuuliy metamorphose three times a year but Hi at litis may vary. The rattles reflect the type of existence a. shake bus undergone, Mr. Chumberlain said. He illustrated this by showing a set of rattles In his collection. About eight or ten rattles were large and healthy in appearance. The last four, developed by the snake during a period of captivity, were smaller and paler. Snake rattles can show lean years for their owners like rings on trees portray drought years. Writhing in a deep box, the deadly rattler yesterday was brought into the museum laboratories and Mr. Chainberlain set about placing the captive in the reptile room. The curator carried the box containing the snake to the back of the rattler pen. From the wail he plucked u "snake handling" instrument and thrust the end of it into the box. The instrument is several feet In length and on the end a leather strap forms a noose. By operating a slide lever, the leather noose may be expanded to a large circle. Mr. Chumberlain pushed the lever down and slipped the noose over the diamond-shaped head. With the noose snugly fitted just hack or the rattler's head. Mr. Chamberlain hoisted the wriggling rattler out of the box and grabbed the lashing tail with his left band. Crabbing with the left is essential, the curator explained, because big snakes will break their own necks if they are allowed to fling themselves about while the lariat clinches their necks. A noose and a hand around the snakes extremities make him practically powerless and inserting him into tHe* cage is a simple matter. At least, it was simple for Mr. Chamberlain. Tin* top of the cage had been removed. The curator swung the fanged monster over the opening and relaxed tlie grip of the left hand. The three and a half feet of timber terror flopped into the pen?all except the diamond-shaped head which still was encased in the leather device. A twist of the wrist and the noose expanded. The rattler folded into a heap on the floor. The top of the cage was replaced. "Ho. hum," sighed Mr. Chamberlain, as he dusted his hands and lighted a cigarette. "Whew." blew an observer as ho mopped the brow and dashed around to see if the snake was there. It was.?Charleston News and Courier of July 25. SEEK UNDERGROUND WATER TO RELIEVE DROUGHT Washington. July 24.--My8tery rivers flowing beneath the surface of the land were described today by government officials as a possible answer to the drought menace of the future. A suggestion that "hidden streams" bo tapped to water parched crop areas came from Morris L. Cooke, chairman of President Roosevelt's great plains drought committee, which was created to formulate a long-term program. "We can learn a great deal," he said, "about tapping hidden rivers which apparently dry up in the summer but which in reality continue to flow beneath the surface." He also tentatively suggested the building of thousands of small dams to "hold water where It falls" Instead of letting it speed away to the sea. Western railroad officials gathered today at Chicago to consider a request from federal drought relief officials for freight rate outs on feed for starving livestock. An ICC ruling in the capital yesterday, permitting special rates up to December 31. paved the way for reductions requested. The United States government on Tuesday night ordered two battleships to Spanish waters, to be used in evacuating 1,582 American citizens now in Spain, if such action becomes necessary due to the civil war now In progress there.
