TAKE HIM DOVE SHOOTING
If you want to find out what Hort
of fellow a man Ih, take him on a
dove-Hhoot. There Ih no surer way
of taking a man's meaHure. When
the first dove files over, his masquerade
drops off, and his real qualities
exhibit themselves. He stands out
us either a pot-hunter and gluttonous
blackleg, or a man with true sporting
sensibilities. "I'm going to take Ilill
on a dove-Hhoot to see whether I want
my sister to murry him or not," a
friend laughingly remarked to me.
And I can't imagine a better touchstone
of gentility.
The ethics of a dove-shoot are based
on common courtesy. All of us
have met the cheap skate who claims
every dove In sight, hollers fraud, and
makes himself hoarse advancing alibis.
And some, of us have met spaniel
owners who permitted their retrievers
to filch doves from the unguarded
blind of a neighbor. When
a shooter gets Ida1 hag, or enough to
meet IiIb requirements, he should retire
and give a less-favored hunter
his stand. If he is a gentleman he
will. And to abandon one's staud
and "inch up" on a neighbor and disr
turb his shooting is not only unethical
but damnable.
Perhaps the finest thing about a
dove-shoot is the pooling of the birds
and the equal division thereof amoug
all the shooters, irrespective of the
contributing shooter's bag. That 1b
a beautiful and generous custom. If
u man takes advantage of some pretext
to run off before pooling his
birds where such pooling is the accepted
practice, he should be blacklisted
for successive shoots. Don't
let a fellow who doeB that marry into
your family?if you can help it.
Now that the hunting season is
wide open, members of the Game and
Fish Association have a chance to
show what they stand for, whether
they mean business or not. It should
be the bounden duty of every member
of the association to observe hunting
season and bag limits. No man
who wilfully and habitually disregards
bag limits or engages in preseason
shooting has a right to retain
membership in the association. Such
a man should be outlawed by his
chapter and boycotted by his friends.
No right-thinking landowner wants a
game outlaw or notoriotis pot-hunter
on his property.
If members of the association would
take? summary action to break up
game lawlessness and discourage
gluttony in their various communities,
their Influence would be felt
throughout the state. Such lawlessness
may be checked by remonstiatIng
with the offender, by refusing to
hunt with him, or by reporting him
to a game warden. And this should
be done regardless of how Important
or influential a man is. No man in
South Carolina should be big enough
to disregard the game laws and get
by with it.
Doves are plentiful this season, but
in many localities quail are extremely
scarce. They have become increasingly
scarce during the past few
years, (loud roads, fast automobiles,
automatics,' and the reclamation of
waste areas have made serious inroads
on the most gallant game bird
In the world. The balance is turning
definitely against him. In common
justice the unplugged automatics
should be illegalized in partridgeshooting
as it lias been done in doveshooting.
Let's do it. Two barrels
ought to be enough for a gentleman.
MOON TO HAVE AN APPUL8E
The moon will blush on Sunday,
December 21, between 10 o'clock and
midnight, eastern standard time.
America, if the weather is fair, will
see its face as a copper color. The
reason is an appulse of the moon. An
appulse is the passage of the moon
through the penumbra, or outer ring
of the earth's shadow.
A good appulse is a real feat of celestial
sharpshooting, for the outer
ring of the earth's shadow ia virtually
no wider than the moon. To register
an appulse the moon must squeeze
through this narrow zone very accurately.
A negro boy, ten years old, told
Sumter officers that he killed his
baby brother, 14 months old, when the
baby refused to suck its bottle. The
older boy was left to tend the baby
while their parents picked cotton. He
first said the baby fell and killed itself,
but later confessed he had hit it
with an ax several times, because it
refused to drink. He then carried
the body outside the house to make
it appear it had fallen
England ordered eight of its submarines
to Spanish waters from MalI
ta, because of the threatening situation
in the Spanish area.

Care Of I^awns
During Winter
l^iwu grasses are so hardy that no
damage la done to them by low turnpe
rut ores alone. Hut extensive winter
damage may result from poor
drainage, and from the heaving action
of alternate freezing and thawing.
Water expands when frozen and
contractu when It thaw a, aa ia well
known to moat gardenera. Since
aoll la unuaually inoiat In the winter,
expanaion and ahrinkage occur whenever
freezing and thawing take place.
Freezing lifta the aoll, and thawing
leta it drop, at the uame time making
it aoft and wet. The action ia most
violent neur the aurface, aince winter
thawing ia aeldom deep, ao tliat ahullow
rooted plantu are often heaved
entirely out of the ground by repeated
thawa.
Crass which bua developed a deep,
aturdy root ayatem, will reaiat heaving
aucceaafujly. Poorly hourlahed
graaa will have ahallow roota and
may auffer serious injury. A relatively
poor lawn may be put Into condition
by proper attention tbla full,
though it would be much better it it
were cared for throughout the sea

growth which will kill out weeds, aud

The moat important factor in producing
a aturdy, deep rooted turf ia
adequate plant food. Crass makea
heavy demands upon the aoil and
will quickly exhaust ita food aupply
if it ia not constantly renewed. An
adequate feeding program calls for
four pounds of a complete plant food
at the rate of four pounds for* each
100 square feet in the early aptiug;
half this quantity six weeks latet^
and another application of four,
pounds per 100 square feet in the

WE AGREE WITH MR. BLEA8E
(Kdlloritti In the Spartanburg Herald
October JJ, 1936)
At Kuyettevllle, N. C., Thursday,
Cole L. HI ease wa? one of the apeakera
at the opeuing of the Cumberland
county fair. The tualn part of Mr.
Hlease's speech was devoted to an
attack upon the New Deal but he digressed
Ioiik enough to make a plea
for better educational opportunity for
the negroes. In that The Herald
agrees with the former governor und
senator from South Carolina
Mr. Jllease was ca/eful to aay that
In advocating betteA educational advantages
he wanted \ll ^aderstcod
that he was not advocating social
equality. It was hardly n^ftyuiry for
him to make the qualiflc&tfoi|.\ Bet-'
ter educational facilities for the negroes
mean better citizens, more intelligent
workers, and Improvement of
society as a whole.
In South Carolina?in Spartanburg
county?there are schools for the negroes
which are a reflection upon the
intelligence of the white people. There
are school buildings that are poorly
ventilated and heated, school buildings
that leak, buildings which haven't
seating facilities for one-third of
the pupils. There are negro school
plants without any sanitary facilities,
without a safe source of water supply.
There are schools in which
teachers work for a pitiful small sultry.
Such schools are menaces to
joth the white and colored ruces, yet 1
t is almost impossible to get funds
to improve equipment and install
meh sanitary facilities us will pro- i
tect the health and lives of pupils
md teachers.
We dare say that in many coun- '
ies there are negro schools similar
o those herein described which have <
never been visited by superintend- 1
mts of education or by the school 1
joards In their districts. In many of J
hese schoools there are no libraries,
lot even the simplest kind of refer- i
ince books. There are no facilities '
'or teaching girls to cook and sew j
ind do the other things that would
nake them useful In their homes and c
11 the homes of the white people who 1
night employ them. There are no 1
'acilitieu in these schools for teach- ,
ug boys the rudiments of mechanics, 1
jf carpentry, of gardening. Yet in <
ill these schools colored boys and ^
^irls would welcome such practical
nstruction which would make them j
letter members of society.
Mr. Blease is to be commended for 1
calling attention to a glaring defect ,
11 our educational system. The Herild
long has felt that neglect of negro
ichools and school houses is neglect
>f the best interests of the white peoile
as well. It is cruel and destrucive
of character to force negro pupils
to sit in a crowded building in
he cold of winter subjected to cold
.vinds, that blow through cracks and
iroken window panes, and to rain
ind sleet and snow that filter through
otten roofs. It Is a reflection upon
he school authorities and the people
vho deny negro pupils the simplest
acilities for their educational advancement.
:ORMER DORI8 DUKE GAVE
$60,000 TO NEW DEAL FUND
Washington, Dec. 3.?Senate invesigators
reported today that John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., gave $70,000 to Republican
campaign funds, while Dem>cratlc
organizations received $60,000
from Mrs. James R. H. Cromwell,
ormarly Doris Duke, the tobacco
leiress.
Their contributions were included
in a list of large donations compiled
by the special senate committee Investigating
spending in the recent
campaign.
The committee said it hoped to
trace the source of most of the $13,000,000
spent by scores of political
organizations in the last campaign,
as a basis for legislative recommendations
to the president and congress.
Investigators said they expected to
seek "far more drastic restrictions"
on campaign expenditures than those
Imposed by present law.
The list made public today showed
gifts totaling $60,100 from Alfred P.
Sloan, Jr., of New York, president of
General Motors Company, to 15 antinew
deal agencies.
Total contributions of the Rockefeller
family were $103,000, the committee
announced.
Mrs. Cromwell's contributions comprised
$5,000 each to the Democratic
state committees of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, and Connecticut.
