A Thank you, Mr. Bowden, of the Savannah Evening Press, for those swelIlgant. oysters sent me. If there Is a delicacy I like It Is oysters on the half shell. And I take off my hat to Savannah oysters as the very hest. W. H. Bowden motored to Camden last Sunday tp Visit his brother who is with Ithe western Auto Associate store here and also take in the polo event at the No. 2 field. He brought a big box of the succulent oysters with him, giving some to Henry Niles and The Chronicle staff and to yours truly. ' J * *.** Well It looks like the Sarsfleld golf course will he action soon now. Through the Courtesy of a winter resident who is an ardent golfer, Don and I were offered a splendid sum of money, which If matched by an equal amount, would -be available for putting the course in shape. The amount was matched within a few hours and j it lookB very much as if Camden is going to have a local golf club, which I will continue through the summer,' with frequent ' tournament events. Yowsah. * Don, by the way, dropped in one af-~ ternoon and when the conversation turned to. a mutual friend, Don remarked that said friend was lucky? thaif he had a wife and a cigarette lighter?and both worked.

By gosh, we thot the season was over?really? but that game at Charlotte last Saturday. Well, It requires some comment-Bet your life. ??- ?jljl a_ji The Palmetto ^pnd was a sort of upper-state monopoly?even if several hundred came from cities lower down In the good old South Carolina territory * I We take off our brown derby to the coaching staff of the Tarheel group?who gave every player on the squad a fair shake on the Held. On the other hand the Furman trio prei sented an Easley ? Spartanburg?* Greenville complexion. \ 9 V Oh yeah! Sure some of the other; lads were called In, but their period of play was only a matter?when out they came. * * Watts was in for two plays and on the second he threw the ball carrier for a seven yard loss?then out he came. George West, one of the best high school players in the South, went in for five minutes in the first half and about three minutes in the second. The same fate befell two lads from Columbia, one from Rock Hill, another from Charleston And another from Sumter?and so on. * 4 The all-star game venture was a fine effort. It brought 4,400 fans into Charlotte stadium and a lot of mazuma into the coffers of the Crippled Children's fund. We say, keep it up ?make it an annual affair. But* let's not have a repetition of the farce featuring the Palmetto end of it. * * ?That. Rhama lad who scored Buch a hit as Fedor Litchscratchme at the Court Inn opening la a natural wit. He stopped over to say so long a few days back and when I told him how fine he was in his grand opera selection he looked at me like a dying duck in a gale of wind and murmured, "Flattery is soft soap and soft soap is 90 per cent lye." And in the same vein of humor Austin Sheheen calls up to say" money may not buy happiness, but with it' you can be unhappy in comfort," which I may say, is a mouthful.

TJMe time we* will have an Inning with the black drum, large ( size member of the croacker family, j Last week we cautioned against confusing.the red drum and the black drum or even the channel bass and atriped bass, because of the similarity | of names, as the flsl^ were certainly unlike. There is really no excuse for confusing the two. drums. Their bodies are shaped and colored differently and most significant Is the ever present "spot on the tail" of the red drum, and the Maoh-dBua has the short barbels or whiskers hanging from his Jaws. . '/.'i jr.:. f.t The Blsck Drum or Sea Drum, the Pogonlas Cromis (pogonlas) is from the Greek "cromia" meaning "to3 grunt" or "to croak"; j is described ae silvery gray; the, >?ung with 4 or 5 broad vertical dark bands, which hands disappear' in adult Sab; fins dark. Thq dram Is remarkable for itapowers to produce sound. While the average size is 3 to 6 pounds, the largest specimen known, j taken In Florida, weighed 146 pounds,; *btle the authentic rod-and-reel catch w*s 90 pounds,. by Captain Jack la- j at 8nrf City. New Jersey, m JnnO 21. 1926. Someone has reported dram sizes from 10 Inches to 6 feet. Another ^aborts that a' flirt twelve iachr os long and weighing one pound Is <*? rear old. The black drtua is found on the of the Middle Atlantis. South beetle and Gulf States. Its food ***** M fair. The hlack drum is a bottom feeder and is aided In its search for foot! by the barbels which serve as feeders. It consumes all kinds of crustaceans and mollusks. They eat crabs and shrimp, and schools of black drum sometime do great damage to oyster beds, having been known to practically destroy every oyster on a planted ground. . . The flsh is most prolific, generally reaching sexual maturity its second year and continues to spawn there* after until death. ' The drum is taken by both still fishing and surf casting, in inlets and bays, around jettifes and pilings and rocks knd you often catch them when you are trying for sheephead, They are also caught in the surf. It is interesting when fishermen begin considering seriously the correct names to apply to their catches. The very thing that makes the Identity of flsh so difficult is that in every section a local name (s often applied to the flsh caught in that area. ""When a fisherman reports that he has Caught a "perch" or a "trout" there is really no telling what he has in his bag. y" ? ? r - -] Last week in discussing, the game sKmia and hag limits, wa stated, in reference to the dove seasons in1 ; South Carolina, that "theae regulations are promulgated Jointly by the biological surrey and the state game department." < This 14 not exactly correct The regulations are established by the Bureau Of Biological Surrey and Section 1767 of the South Carolina Code prodvtdw "the federal sap gratory blrd^tfeaty regulations being the supreme law of the land . * . are hereby declared to he the law of this ,suta."
