FISH CHAPTER ACTIVITIES
Instead of the customary let-up tom
mon at the close of the year, spurts of
activity are especially noticeable In
at least two M?*cfionn vl ihi: elate.
The past week taw two splendid
orgaulzat Ion meetings; In Newberry
and in -HartavlIIe.
The Newberry icrowd held a pep
meeting a week ago at l.ake Murray
and laat Thuraday night capped the
climax by having seventy-five Interested
sportsmen out for a meet lug In the
Court House. Officer* we/e elected,
new members taken In, and everyone
given a chance to get what was on
their chest off. 8. A. Williams was
elected president, and Harry Hedgepath,
secretary. Vice presidents represent
every section of the county.
West Jacocks, state secretary was
present.
On the very aame night, about fifty
men, Interested in the same problems,
as the Newberrians, gathered In
Hartsvlile and furthered their plana.
Ikith groups talked of the Charleston
convention, and on Friday morning,
August 2lBt, when the roll is called
down there, these chapters will
have representatives present to tell
of their new accomplishments. .
The Newberry crowd was chiefly Interested
In the conditions of Lake
Murray. These folks have the fact
brought right squarely and unmistakably
before them that game fish conditions
on the great lake are not what
they used to. be. Many sections are
too slow to realize changing conditions.
hut the Murray situation Is self
evident. Kvery fisherman present
knew from hard experience he was
not catching the fish this year he did
last, nor the previous three, four and
five year*. Three year* ago these
same fishermen perhaps ikoffed the
report of l>r M M Kit)h of the Tolled
State* bureau of fisheries. who, after
a week* scientific survey reported
ilfjai '|*ake Murray had teached the
peak of lt? Ash productivity and was
then headed for a decline. Now they <
know; they have iived to see and even
feel thin change in game flsh condition*.
tj
Over in the Tee I>ee section the
llartsville folk* feel they are being
left behind in not having a game and
flsh chapter 8everaI of ,thefn stirred
themselves to do adtnemrig about it.
John A. lJugan helped dtart things,
a* did Cecil Lee. J, II. Kedfern is
the new chairman. Ixmnie 8. Mr Millian,
state president attended their
meeting.
There were projects to be set up
in their county to give tangible evidence
that something must and was
I being done to improve conditions,
Then too, they remember that the
waters of Black Creek can contain
poison that so pollutes that fine
stream as to destroy fish life. Once
before quantities of dead flsh lined
the banks and created Buch a stench
as to make approach to the stream
unpleasant and unhealthy.
Cap these sportsmen stop these offenses
against their game flsh? Surely
they have no power to enforce the
law. But they can aid, can get toand
by a close union can present a
gether, can discuss their problems,
united voice of such volume that It
will carry to the powers-that-be. The
hunters and fishermen can go back to
that very old and simple fable of
the bundle of sticks and learn a good
lesson applicable to the problems facing
them today In the preservation of
their state's game and flsh resources.
South Carolina
Cotton Report
A cotton crop of 586,000 bales of
.100 pounds gross weight Ih forecast
for South Carolina from condition* an
of August 1, according to a report released
by Frank O. Slack. Agricultural
Statistician for the. t'nlted States
Department of Agriculture. Production
last year waa 744,000 bales, 678,000
In 1934 and 735,000 In 1933. The
average production for the years 192832
was 856,000 bales and 848,000 for
the years 1923-32.
Condition on August 1 was reported
as 54 per cent normal, compared with
75 per cent on August 1. 1935, and the
average August 1 condition of 64 per
cent for the years 1923-32.
A prolonged spring drought delayed
germination and caused the poorest
stand of recent years. Judging from
reported dates as to when a stand
was secured, the crop Is a month later
than uBual for the State as a whole.
However, In the lower half and on
light or sandy soils up-State, cotton
was up much earlier than on clay
soils, altho stands are somewhat ragged
over practically the entire State.
Reported weevil Infestation on August
1 was the lowest of record for
that date but the lateness of the ciop
increases the weevil hazard beyond
usual.
Generally, the older cotton has
about matured a good crop, particularly
in the southern counties where a
few bales have been ginned, and at
iueaunt the young cotton is making
satisfactory progress under favorable
weather Influences.
Moslems of Algiers are deeply
mourning the loss of their leader,

What Alia the Churches '
The churcheH are In trouble, not be- J
cause of any fault of church officers ,
or ministers, or the gospel, as it is |
preached, or with the music or church
equipment.
The weakness of the church is in
the congregation?in the membership,
where the quiet place of worship no
longer has a Sabbath appeal.
The week has been spent in riding
and gadding about, morning, noon and
night. Movies, radios, resorts, roadhouses-,
parties, trips?amusements,
world without end?day in and day
out. No home life; no mother's fireside.
No family gatherings. Too
tame; too quiet.
This crowd cannot tame down sufficiently
on Sunday morning to go to
church, and meditate, and sit at the
feet of the Master. At church there
is no blare of trumpets, no gay repartee,
no lights, no drinks, no excitement.
Only prayer, meditation, study,
time for repentance and lessons in
the Word of God. That?and nothing
more!
The congregations of the country
have quit on the churches. They have
walked out on the ministers. They
have forsaken the ways of the fathers
? and that is what causes the trouble
of the churches of the country.
When the congregations again get
down on knees, at home and in church
and again give the Sabbath to Him
who gave us all of our days, the pews
again will fill, and our churches will
pulse with vigorous life.?Marion
Star.
Twenty-three major oil companies,
three trade Journals and 58 individuals,
have been indicted in the federal
court at Madison, Wis., on charges of
conspiracy to violate the Sherman
j anti trust laws.

Popular Retriever Dates ,
Back to English History
The history of the retriever dates jback
to 1850, when a black-co*ted dog
was brought to England and croaked
with an English setter. This was "!> ,
posed to tare beeq the beginning of (
all retrievers, obaervea an authority
lu the Ix>? Angelea Tiroes. We find 1
thern now developed to a stage where '
they are divided into four classes: 1
Golden, Flat-coated, Curly-coated and
the !*ahrador. The last was originally ,
a much heatler ^og titan the present ,
type, longer In body, faulty lega and
not much to look at. ^ ^ ^
The eyes In the majority of breeds ,
are requires! to be dark In shade. This
may be because of a feeling that tJteg '
dark eye denotes a higher grade of In- 4
tellect, while the light-eyed dog, uii- 1
able to express the same amount of 1
feeling with his eyes. Is often claimed 1
treacherous. For thla reason the fanciers
of the breed hastened to over- ,
come this criticism by crossing the
Labrador with the dark-eyed Flatcoated
retriever. In setting a trait,
s)most Invariably other qualities are 1
changed or added to a breed. It ig not 1
surprising therefore to discover some '
without the typical cbaracerlatica such
is the otter tail. However, the ma)orlty
of them show no evidence of ths
original outcrosa.
Ancient Egyptians Wert
Skillful as Mechanics
About five thousand years ago an
Egyptian wrote a letter that baa been
preserved to thla day, notes a writer
in the Montreal Herald. In It he men- 1
tions among other things the numerous
mechanical devices that were In coin- i
won use among the people.
The ancient Egyptians were already
acquainted with the lathe and the pot-'
ter'a wheel?inventions that must have
originated In the remotest times?
they were skillful workers in the less
refractory metals, could draw them Into
wire, beat them Into sheets, emboss
and engrave them, and were Able to
Inlay and enamel them. They could
glaze and enamel earthenware and 1
make beads of glass.
They either devised the loom or In- j
herited It from an earlier culture, and i
knew how to weave cotton to auch a
fineness that we can only distinguish
It from silk by the microscope. They
were expert farmers and Irrigating
engineers, and the world's mightiest
architects In stone. No one knows ex- '
actly how the pyramids were built, or
the precise methods for getting the >
great obelisks and collossl Into place.
Why Indians Allow Faca
to Be Without WhUkers I
Most male Indians have a
slight to moderate mustffne and some i
henrd on the chin If they allowed the ,
hair to grow, but It was considered
almost a religious duty with them to
hHve a smooth face, says a writer In
the Detroit News. Parkman mentions
that when he was living among the
Sioux Indians he made careful use of
the razor, an operation which no man
will neglect who desires to gain their
good opinion.
According to* one writer, they consider
It Indecent to let hair grow on
the face. The Indian warrior sitting
Idly by his carapflre would run his
hands over his cheeks and chin In
search of hairs which he plucked out
by the roots, sometimes with the aid
of pieces of shell or flint. There were
certain exceptions to this general rule,
however, about beardless Indians, explorers
mentioning the Keyauwee Indians
of the Upper Yadkin as wearing
mustaches or whiskers, also many of
the people of Rlandina (Roanoke)
river In 1(550 as having beards.
"Wooden Indians"
A noted collector of woqden Indians
says: "Wooden Indinns are not Indigenous
to American soil. As early
ns the reign of James I the wooden Indian
was a familiar sight In England.
Of the early wooden indiuns In America.
an odd cupidlike Pocahontas that
once stood guard on Hancock street,
Boston, dates from 17rMI. The pioneer
authenticated npi*>n ranee of n cigar
store show figure was In 1770^ when
Christopher Demuth opened a tobacco
shop In T^incaster. Pn. This figure was
not an Indian, hut a delicate, minuettype
gentleman extending a snufT-box
invitingly."
Plow Dcfcign* From Potatoes
The plow Invented by Jethro Wood
In 1814?with mouldplate, share and
landside cast separately?forecast modern
plows. But Wood had great difficulty
in getting workmen to mold his
plow8 as he wanted them. He was
taunted with l^elng a "whittling Yankee"
because he whittled away bushels,
of potatoes before he had a miniature
model plow that suited him. Seward.

citizen has conferred greater benefits
on his country . . . none has been
more inadequately rewarded."

Hunt Continues For
Long Missing Judge
New York.?New York's most persistent
manhunt went into its seventh
year lapt week with two detectives
still woirking full time on the riddle
of bow and why supreme Court Justice
Joseph Force Crater walked into
oblivion carrying more than 15,000
cash*
The slow roll of the years since
August, 1930, have seen many disappearances;
many crimes have beep
committed and solved; many missing
persons have been found. But nothing
on poli^B blotters has been more
bafTling than why a man coming into
the prime of his years and the height
of his influence could disappear and
leave no trail or trace.At
the missing persons bureau Detectives
Jacob von Weisenstein and
William F. King thumbed through a
stack of correspondences 18 Inches
high, Beeking a clue they might have
overlooked. They are assigned to the
Crater case and now their work becomes
doubly Important because if
the justice is not found at the end
of seven years he can be declared
legally dead. ,
For all they know, his bones may
be bleaching some where now, but
they must proceed on the theory that
he is alive and that some day he will
be found. They have searched North
America, written letters to every
country in Europe, and sent cablegrams
to Hawaii, South America and
Africa. The search has cost $250,000
and the case still remains a dark and
deep mystery.
Once the detectives concentrated on
monasteries on the theory that Crater
had sought scanctuary from his tiring
work as a state supreme court
justice. They investigated every monastery
in this part of the world without
success. Their latest clue?^hey
won't reveal its nature?turned up
two month ago. It was valueless.
prater had no reason to die or disappear.
He wae handsome, successful,
well-to-do financially and happily
married. He had been appointed to
the supreme court bench by Franklin
D. Roosevelt, when governor of New
York. But something must have been
working in Craters mind on the August
day of 1930, when he sent an
office attendant out to cash two personal
checks?one for $3,000, the other
for $2,150.
He packed the cash and six cardboard
folders full of personal papers
into a bag and walked out of his office,
shouting a cheery goodbye
Joseph L. Mara, his confidential aide
and saying he was going swimming
"up Westchester way."'
I That evening Crater, apparently in
the best of spirits, bought a single
ticket for "Dancing Partners," a musical
comedy. Then he went to Haas'
resturant in West 45th street. William
Klein, a theatrical lawyer, saw
him there, and said it was impossible
Wild Chase Ends In
Capture Of Negro
After a wild ehase starting live
miles east of Chesterfield on Highway
No. 9 and ending in Wadesboro,
N. C., about 24 miles. Fred Alexander
Locke, colored chauffeur for a Mrs.
Hutchinson, of Charlotte, was lined
$100 and his driver's license for one
tear.
Locke was driving a new Packard
sedan about midway between Cheraw
and Chesterfield Tuesday morning
when Sheriff Douglass appeared.
Locke seemed to think be owned the
road and was trying his best to occupy
both sides at the same time.
The Sheriff managed to get him
stdpped, but on approaching the Packard
the negro suddenly shot ahead,
and the race was on. 'They came
down Main street at a speed estimated
variously at 75 to 90 miles an hour,
the Packard leading only a few feet,
the officer's siren wide open. A hazardous
turn was negotiated at the intersection
of the Wadesboro road with
Main street. The Sheriff kept close
behind his quarry to Morven, where
he stopped long enough to phone
Wadesboro offfcere, who, acting
promptly stopped the speeder.
Sheriff Douglass relinquished his
claims to the prisoner when be was
put on trial tor driving a car while
under the influence of whiskey and
violating traffic regulations.
He was fined $100 and nine months
in jail .with nine months suspended
on the payment of the fine. His driver's
license was suspended for one
year.
Sheriff Douglass said he couldn't
be Bure of his highest speed nor that
of the fleeing negro. He did notice
his own speedometer at times ranging
around 88 and. since the negro
drove In spurts there were times
when he was much faster than that.?
