TWO LEGISLATIVE MEASURES j The State Ciume and Fish Assoelatlon has adopted hk Its major oh* j jectlvos tills year the passage of i??Kislation dividing tin? state Into six game and Iksh zones and providiug for an angler's license of one dollar. ' The ('p Country differs from the Low Country tremendously In such matters as geography, climate, species of game, rearing and maturing seasons. Whore natural factors vary, game varies accordingly Ai present our game laws recognize none of these fundamental 'differences. Any enlightened game administration must ' recognize such a differential in natural factors and make provision therefor. Other stutes have done so. You i cannot enforce similar laws over dls- ' similar conditions. ' The proposed angler's license would not he applicable to the hook and-lino t fisherman, hut only to the sophist!- i cated angler who uses such artificial i tackle as a rod-and reel or fly rod. j Such a license would not work u hard- i ship on this class. i We propose that the revenue doriv- \ able from such an angler's license be t used exclusively for the operation of t fish hatcheries so that ponds, lakes, ; and streams of the state can be as- J sured of a plentiful supply of young t fish for re-stocking purposes. It is uu i inescapable fact that many of the < choicest streams of the state have 1 been flshed-out. Fishermen have in- c ' ? * I 1 <reused fuster than the fish If th?se walciH art- to he restored to their former tightness, It is Imperative thai ahttndnttt supply of fish bo available for distribution through the state. There are nine huh butcheries in tin; state at present, most of them construeted by the federal government with (lie understanding that the Htato would provide money for their operation. These hatcheries cannot in: operated to any sort of ad vantage wltliout an increased revenue, if the angler's license in put Into effect and Hufficicnt revenue Ih raised therefrom to operate all of these hatcheries, twelve million \oung fish can he distributed In the state annually, A. A. Itlchardson, Chief tjame Warden, estlmutes. The, angler's license is therefore not only a necessity, hut a inagliflcent Investment. Meinhers of the Association are alio interested in other matters affectum the game resources of the state, such as a closed spawning season for ^amellsh, the llxing of the size and number of fish that may ho legally taken, and changes in the seasons where common sense and experience Jlctate, but our paramount concern it present Is for the state zoning law ind the angler's license. Other adustments will follow naturally. These wo matters are of such vital importance that the association is asking very sportsman in the state to lend lis influence toward the enactment >f these recommendations into laws. Will Hold Meeting In Capital City Carl 11. Kppa, president, and J. K. Rreedin, managing director, have is-, sued the following <all to taxpayers of the state: "The annual convention of the Fanners" and Ta\pa>ers" League will be held 111 the Jefferson Hotel, Co-' luinnia, Wednesday.

'1 he revenues of the state and of the counties are increasing, but the income of our people is uot iucrea.siiib as fast as the taxes ilU l ease. No one in the general assembly has proposed any measure of relief tor the taxpayers. On the other hand, every department of the state, every, agency and institution, even every interest fostered by the state, is demanding more money and urbanizing to gel u by inthience and weight of numbers or by subtle persuasion.

J Seed Loan Bill I Passes Both Bodies Recently Senator Smith again introduced the so-called Seed Ixian Hill, of which ho is the ordinal author. Congressman Marvin Jones of Texas, ' sponsored the companion bill in the ' House, which passed that body last' week. On January 20, the Senate" "?>k up the Smith Hill but to exped- ' it'- action on this important legisla-1 lion and got the loans to the farmers' juickly. Senator Smith moved that the House Hill be substituted and con shh-red by the Senate in place of his' Senate Hill, doneral discussion followed and the Seed Ixian Hill passed the Senate without a dissenting vote. Ibis hill authorizes an appropriation I <>? fifty million dollars for crop pro-' duct ion. to farmers who are unable to secure financial assistance elsewhere. Attention might well be Called ' to tbe fact that the new bill calls for tt reduction in the rate of interest the farmer pays on his loan, from - 1-2 to 4 per cent. The bill is now before the President for his sigua-' t ure. In l'JJO the farmers in South Carolina repaid to the government M per cent of the money borrowed. This inpayment was second highest in the touiitrj, l.ouisiana leading with 04.1 P- t mil repaid.

Fair, in which every state in the nation must inevitably take small or prominent part, in out of Its infancy Preparatory const ruction goes oy night and day at the Flushing Meadow Site 12lt> 1-2 acres at the gcopraphlcal center of New York < ity A steady (low of activities and announcements ernanatcK from the Fair Corporation headquarter h on four floors of the Cmpire State building Judging from all (if those, the Fair Is a lusty, growing institution that will reach full maturity no question about it?by the scheduled opening day, April 30, 1030. The task of grading the site is about half completed. Uuttalions of men with trucks |iave already moved over 3,000,000 cubic yards of dry till in the process of turning the waste marsh lands of tin.* Flushing itiver 1 basin into park ground. Other battalions are scooping out "meadow mat" for use as fertile top soil for the made lauds, and in so doing excavate the beds for the two large lagoons featured in plans for the Fair. The first of the -300 structures which, according to estimates will house the 11)311 Fair, has been completed and is ready for occupancy. This is tile headquarters building for tiie field forces of today and the employment department of the exposition period. Scheduled for early In the new year Is the start of actual construction of the $900,OUO Administration building. The designs for this structure, let under architectural contract a few weeks ago are uearing the day of their approval In the Corporation's offices. I'pon completion of this building, late in August, 1937, the Fair headquarters, bag, baggage at|d sales offices moves to the exposition site. "The most splendid and significant edifice projected for the 1939 international exposition," the Theme building, as described at Fair headquarters, is also well along in its contract ural period. The estimated cost of this great building for the "Thematic Centre" of the exposition is set at |1.200.000. The preliminary designs are to be finished in about eight weeks and the final plans submitted within four weeks thereafter. Const ruction is scheduled to start immediately the designs are completed. From this Theme centre will radiate all that is to be the 1939 Fair as conceived by its founders and rendered into concrete terminology and model by the Fair's Hoard of Design "Our job from now on is to give physical expression to the plan and theme of the Fair as announced and as set down on paper in our headquarters," said (.trover Whalen, President of the Fair Corporation. Starting next April 1. we plan to complete the design of one major building every ten days for a period of seven months. In all, we expect to design no less than 30 major buildings to house the exhibits from every part of the world. Some 300 structures. in all, are planned for the Flushing Meadow site, within a few minutes ride trom Manhattan." Without solicitation on the part of the Fair, more than 2."0 American busim-ss houses and institutions have 1" nit preliminary conversations reeaiding tlu-ir participation and at-airiad.q, planning exhibits.

(iibson. President of the Manufacturers Trust Company and Richard Whitney, former president of the New York Stock Exchange, the prominent figures in the Jinancial capital conducted a 2S-day campaign to sell $27,829,500 In debenture bonds of the Fair to finance the construction period. Kvery confidence is being expressed that the Fair not only will "pay its way," but that it will bring a billion dollars more of revenue into (ireater New York and stimulate American in' dustry in general to an extent many fold that amount. The total cost of producing New York's Fair, including collateral improvements is set at $125,000,000. Statisticians estimate that the attendance will total more than 50,000,000 persons. The City of New York, The State of New York and the Government of the United States, according to expectations, will account for $35,000,000 of the total expenditures and thus lend an official backing never before achieved. Wallace And Smith Discuss Legislation On Tuesday, January 26, Secretary Wallace and Senator Smith had a conference at the Senator's office, at which time they made a general survey of the agricultural situation and mentioned those things that were likely to come up for Congressional action during the present session of Congress. Among those proposals specifically discussed were amendments to the Soil Conservation und Domestic Allotment Act, which Is the present farm program, and crop insurance proposals. There are to be no fundamental changes but certain amendments are to he offered to make more clear the intent und purpose of the Act. With reference to Crop Insurance, both Senator Smith and Secretary Wallace agreed that crop insurance wus feasible if worked out along the proper lines. They also discussed Senator Smith's agricultural hank bill, which provides for a reorganization of the facilities for making loans to farmers. This bill Involves same principle as does the Seed Ixian 11111. WANTS SOUTH CAROLINA TO SETTLE WITH TRIBE Columbia, iun. 21.?Chief Sam Tuylor Illue of the Catawba Indians hobnobbed with members of the general assembly today to feel out sentiment in capital corridors on his demand thut South Carolina settle with his tribesmen. Chief Illue said the state had never fully met terms of an agreement between the Catawbas and the white man, dating from a treaty signed In 1810. Specifically, the 64-year-old chieftain alleges that South Carolina's pompus gentlemen of more than a hundred years ago gave his red boys the run-around on that nineteenth century real estate deal. Chief Illue contends that the twenty-five acres the state granted his tribe in York county on the North Carolina boundary was not the land provided in the treaty. Actually, the chief said, the Catawbas were promised "good laud" in Haywood county in western South Carolina. Instead, lie said, they got "the worst lands in York county." The 217 remaining members of the once powerful tribe now fashion potters, weave baskets and make rugs on their small reservation. Their forelathers assisted the American colonists in the French and Indian war. helped in the revolutionary war and later joined the whites in battling the Clierokees. A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary of the state historical commission, said the last treaty with the Catawbas was signed in 1763. "Hlue thinks the state ought to make his tribesmen citizens and divide up the reservation among them," Salley commented. He said Blue probably had in mind an agreement between the Indians and the state in 1841 in which South Carolina bought out the Catawbas' equity in a formerly* granted tract and agreed to buy them land in Haywood county, N. C. North Carolina's objection and reluctance of the Indians to change their living place, Salley said, doomed tlie trade to failure. Salley says his research indicated the state bought the Indians' equity in the original grant for $2."i,0o0, that it pio\id<d additional lands for llieni and had paid about $380,OuO in cash to the l ataw has. Hmmutt Guddis. a former deputy sheriff, was acquitted tit Ducktown. Teiin.1. after a week's trltil, on a charge of having murdered U \Y. McFaddeti, road contractor of Asheville, N. C. Gaddis admitted the killing, and claimed sell-defense. \\ hen flood waters in Marietta, Ohio, reached a crest of 48 feet, and went swirling through the streets, the state liquor department there closed its doors and bars followed suit, making the city dry in one way while it was very wet in another way.
