| coMMtNT# ON N?N AND THING!
I (Br Spectator)
Out iu tbe country the plum
I (,-ee* and dog woods suggest that raI
vivai of the human spirit which is the
I rvai expectation of all those who
I trust m Nasarene.
I i'rtul the Apostle grappled with the
I flB?stlou of the resurrectiou aud did
I uoi mince words: "Why/ should it
I seem impossible that God should raise
I the (lead?" He asks. Truly if Ood be
I God there to nothing Impossible to
I |Jim. And though like the great org.
I anl/ei that He is He has planned the
I course of nature so that regularity
I and system might be the rule and not
I a thing of caprice. .But He would not
I rfa|(. Himself out of His own kingI
dom Even- we- in our affairs make
I rules but wo do not recognise the
I pcredness of any rule for which there
I J* no occasion. That Ood may make
I ,-ulee for you and me and may ordulu
tiu laws of the natural order would
I not louder Ood impotent by His own
decrees. if He be the supreme Euer
gy, the great Dyuuinlc, the first cause
I, , the Heavenly Father, as you will,
I He would not loso His ppwer because
lie adopted a system for His univorse.
I . ltd that Jesus should rise from
tlH. u.-ad and illumine the path which
all people tread should not seem a tin
I limit feat for the creator to perform.
I Again, the resurrection gives a light
where all was dark. Nothing could
be more in character with divine love
and <oin passion than this proof that
death is not a long dark'journey into
the unknown. The risen Lord lk the
guide along tlyj way. As. He went,
so We go
I The senate appropriation bil^ goes
toe far in the circumstances. - it ad
vances by leaps lnstekd of by careIful
steps. The house bill of more than
nine "and a half millions Is more than
a million dollars beyond the present
budget and a million and a quarter
Huiust be added to. that for the house
bill on old-age pension. Surely that
is the uttermost dollar that can be
authorized if we are to be prudent iu
the handling of public credit. The
house bills should be regarded as max-,
iinuin amounts and any change should
be for a reduction of those figures.
Senator Ward and Senator Brown are
frank and courageous iu declaring
thai the senate bill would require
more revenue. That means just one
thing and that is more taxes. For
this legislature to impose new or adBlitional
taxes would be a betrayal of
he people. No man in either house
or senate would have been elected
^ ast summer if he had not given as^ uranee,
direct or Implied, that he
Bvould oppose both new and additional
Buxes and would seek means to reBieve
the present burden on the taxBjayers.
Even the house bills are too
Bhgh and the senate bills are a threat
^ o the credit of the state. The memBiers
of the house should stand by the
Blouse bills and refuse to concur in
hie cent more.
I The present budget of the state is
B^38E2y7.32. This runs until June 30
of this year. Fop the no it fiscal year,
beginning next July, the bu<l?et com'
at legion recommended $8,788,381.66.
^ ooouuleaion is composed
of the governor, the chairman of the
finance committee of the senate.
Thetfe gentlemen heard all the departments,
commissions aud Institutions
of the state and had the state auditor
as their secretary. They made their
recommendation with all the facta be
fore them. They studied these requests
in calm, unhurried manner aud
with all the amplitude of information
whlfch the various officials could afford.
Within sixty# days of the preparation
of the budget commission's
careful study, the Ways and Means
committee,' proceeding independently,
brought in a bill for $9,500,000, $1,200,!.
000 more than the present budget. The
house added to thut and the bill of
, $9,589,620.90 was sent to the senate.
The spnate passed a bill to $10,824,1
229.11 and there it is, awaiting agreei
meat with the house.
Separately, and in addition, the
house adopted a Social Security Rill
of $1,045,000 and separately the senate
adopted a Social Security Bill for
$2,000,000.
The house bill is too much and the
senate bill is entirely beyond all limits
of prudence. As a malte^of expediency
the house should insist on
its own bill or, at least, infuse to concur
in any total beyond $9,500,000 for
the general appropriation and $1,000,1000
for social security. The people
back home would support the house
in this position.
H is inconceivable that one farthing
of additional taxes should be imposed;
6nd of course no one wishes
to Jeopardize the credit of the state.
What would a careful man do in his
pi ivate business in similur circumstances?
Would he authorize heavy
new expenditures willy-nilly? Of
course not. Our leaders of state must
have an assurance of prosperity that
others do not enjoy. The president
of the United States, the governor of
the Federal Reserve Board?and others
are talking about controlling Inflation.
What does that mean? That
means deflation; and deflation is remembered
by Us as the cause of sudden
drop in cotton prices from 42c
to 12c in 1920. We may not drop so
suddenly again; but what man of
sound business Judgment would commit
himself and his business as the
senate proposes to commit the state?
There*are many able and careful men
in both senate and the house. They
may Vet prevail, The governor of the
fetate, with his own budget beforp him,
will probably not yield to injudicious
commitments in the face of a turbulent
condition throughout the world
which might upset all our calculations
in the twinkling of an eye,.
Senator Tillman onca^ addressed the
senate in desultory style, covering
many subjects. One of the senators
asked "Will the senator tell us what
he is talking about"? "Yes," said Tillman,.^Tm
discussing the general cussedness
of the situation." Even an uninspired
pen could write at length on
the same subject. Sometimes I think
the country has _ gone to the dogs,
though Wh^tjiie dogs will do with it
I can't imagine. Politics, votes, insincerity,
personal aggrandizement?
and all that. The world has been going
to the dogs for many moons.
I remember Elijah's notion that ho
was the only true worshipper left, although.
many others were as loyal as
i he. Then there was Elisha (wasn't
it?) who prayed that his servant's
| eyes might be opened to see the embattled
forces of righteousness as
clearly as he saw the mighty armies
of iniquity. So what's the use of getting
in the dumps?
Representative Ben E. Adams, of
Richland county, went to Detroit to
observe conditions growing out of tho
sit-down strikes. Mr. Adams is one
of the outstanding independents in the
legislature. He is courteous and fair,
a friend and champion of the working
man with a dominant purpose to do
what he thinks Is right. Mr. Adams
has written a series of articles which
I hope to reprint, with his permission.
He tells an absorbing story of what
he saw and what Is really happening.
Conditions are even worse that I
thought. I still believe that Governor
Murphy's weakness, far m>m saving
the situation and far. from serving the
workers, has brought .on a condition
that is almost anarchy.
Ain't It The Truth?
Sam and Rastus were seated in a
Jim Crow car on a southern railway,
en route to a plantation for the cotton
picking season. .They were discussing
poljjljjs, with particulaf reference
to a coming election. Rastus
was a rabid partisan of the incumbent
representative. 7" T '
"Well," said Sam, "Ah like him all
right, Ah ghesB; but his platform
ain't no good." v. ' . * \
"Platfo'm!" snorted Rastus. "Platfo'm!
Say. don't you know dat a political

Lot's forgdt (or a moment the much
discussed and equally famed black
bass 'and look to hit* distant uame
sake, the striped bass or rockflah.
The striped bass has become the
moat recent subject of scientific research.
This fish ranges from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and Is found \more or less plentiful
off the coast of the Carolines.
A year ago the state of Connecticut
became alarmed at the diminution of
the bass on the Atlantic coast and
started a research program into Its
migration, it spawning habits and Its
early life history. Most of their operations
were in llielr own vicinity, but
the study is being extended this
month into the Carolina waters in a
program of the American Wildlife Institute.
The fish is a greenish olive on back,
shading into a greenish silver on sides
and light silver on belly, darker horizontal
stripes of a greenish cast run
from head to tall Just below lateral
line to back.
The striped bass is an unudromous
fish, living in suit or brackish water
|and ascending fresh water streams to'
spawn. It spawns in May in this section
of tho seaboard and sets adrift
its non-adhesive eggs which measure
7-50 of an inch in diameter. They
will spawn In both brackish and fresh
water at temperatures from 60 to 75
degrees, with a production from a
single female as high as 2,500,000 eggs
a year. No female Bpawns more than
once a season. The eggs hatch us
early as forty-eight hours after fertilization
and the larvul fishes absorb
their yolk sac in about seven days.
Studies made of the bass Indicate
that it lives chiefly on fish and ciubtacea,
Including shrimp, crabs and
lobsters.
The' food value of the striped bass
Is excellent. He is sought extensively
by btHJi commercial fishermen and
sport anglers. The commercial fishery
is conducted chiefly by means of
gill, uets, while the sportsman uses
both live bait and rod and reel. They
will take small fish,- shrimp, clams
and . yabs, and will strike artificial
lures, especially squids, spoons, plugs
?as the crippled minnow, aud strip
bait. They are also caught by trolling.
The bass is "game" and offers
real sport fishing.
Sizes and record catches are interesting.
The striped bass has been
known to attain a weight of 125
pounds in an authentic commercial
catch, at Kdenton, North Carolina, April,
1891. The largest authentic catch
with rod and reel is 73 pounds, made
by Charles B. Church at Vineyard
Sound, Massachusetts, on August 17,
1913. The average catch however is
from two to seven pounds.
This article should make some reference
to the successful introduction
. of the species into the Pacific waters,
j One hundred and thirty-five individj
uals of this species were carried from
New Jersey to California in 1879, and
planted in Carquinez Strait. Only one
other planting occurred; when 300
fish also from New Jersey, from 5 to
9 inches in length, were brought tcr
Suisun Bay in 1882. The success of
this immigration was amazing. From
these two plantings of 435 yearling
fish, there developed a commercial
catch of 1,784,448 pounds in 1915. The
Paclfiic migration is moving steadily
northward and striped bass are now
found in the Columbia river.
The growth, as determined from
study in California waters, is as follows:
Females, one year 3.8 inches,
two years 10.4 inches, three yehrs 13.6
inches, four years 18 inches, five years
21 IncheB, eight years 30 Inches, ten
years 34 inches. The male average
is: one year 3.8 inches, two years 11.3
inch, three years 14.7 inches, four
years 18.2 inches, five years 19.6
inches, eight years 27 Inches, ten
years 30.9 inches.

HOKE GREGORY DIE8
Kershaw Man's Body la Found In
I Automobile.
v Kershaw, March 30.?-The sudden
ana "Tflfttmeiy-'aeath of Hoke Gregory,
43, came as a severe shock to the residents
of this section today. Early this
morning Mr. Gregory was found in
his car, parked on a public highway
near Flat Creek high school Upon
investigation It was learned that he
had been shot with a pistol found on
the seat beside him. At an'lnquest,
held by Coroner Hegler, of Lancaster,
death was said to have been caused
by a self-inflicted bullet wound.
According to the coroner's report,
Mr. Gregory had been dead since the
early part of the night. A note was
found on the body. It was written
at 7:10. last night.
Mr. Gregory, son ol^ the late Mary
Amerdlne and Rochelle B, Gregory,
was born in the Taxahaw section of
Lancaster, county. After sixteen years
of service in the United States navy
and marines, he had retired and spent
his recent years as a merchant and
farmer. ' For the last six years his
health had been rapidly declining.
Three brothers survive, Theron,

LEXINGTON COUNTY FI8H
WIN8 $105 IN PRI2E8
A twelve-pound Lexington county
big-mouth bass last year took two
prizes, winning first place in 'Field
and Stream's" contest and second
place in the National Sportsman competition.
y
The trout was caught on April 4,
last year, in Paxton's pond in the
Sand Hills by R. H. Worrell, with
rod and reel and artificial bait. The
flsh weighed twelve poundB and two
ounces, after being out of tho water
some time.
Mr. Worrell had pictures made of
the flBh and had its weight certified
to, according to tho rules of contests
governing large Ash, and entered it
in the contests of tho above-mentioned
magazlues, and Just recently he re- ?
ceived word that his trout was the o
largest entered in Field and Stream
and second largest in the National
Sportsman.
In these contests, the country is divided
up Into zones, Mr. Worrel's flsh
coming into competition in. Field and
Stream with others caught In several <
states in the southeast, but not' Including
Georgia and Florida, these
states being in zones to themselves,
because they grow larger trout than
any of the other states in this part
iof the country. , '
I However, ity the National Spofts- !
man he was In competition with the :
Georgia fishermen, which accounts for
his trout coming in second place. Even
then Mr. Worrell's flsh missed r ' <
first by only two ounces, the Georgia
fiHh weighing twelve pounds and four
ounces. "* i
From Field and Stream Mr. Worrell
received goods to the amount of
$75 for first place, and from the Na- .
tlonal Sportsman he received goods
valued at $30. .
That was a valuable catch this
Datosburg man made last spring.-?

HIGHROADS OF HISTORY
A ROMANTIC episode In the history
of the United States is perpetuated
In the name of the section of Jasper National
Park, Alberta, shown above. It is <
known as the Tonquln Valley, after the 1
name of the Ill-fated ahlp in which John.
Jacob Astor despatched the little company
of adventurers that were to found hie
great fur Empire on the Pacific Coast.
After, the mysterious destruction of the Tonquin and a series or other
Ill-fortune, the party which had established Astoria, at the mouth of the
Columbia River, broke up and some survivors toiled eastward across the
Canadian Rockies, finally reaching a trading post near this valley in
what la now the world's largest playground. The Tonquin Valley, today,
.is noted for Its scenic beauty. The lake in the foreground, Amethyst Lake.
Is famous for its rainbow trout fishing. The outlet of the lake Is called
the Astoria River. Inset is <1 sketch of John Jacob Astor. founder of the
