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. '

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.
Anf Bill camp In to bbrrow a blotter,
which reminds mo of the fact
thai a blotter' is something you always
look-for while the ink dries. *

And the family purp sits up and

Speaking of football. By gosh, we

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.

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.

A couple of weeks ago we endeavored
to describe the red drum or
channel baas. 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

by the Bureau Of Biological Surrey
and Section 1767 of the South Carolina
Code prodvtdw "the federal sap

The Bankhead-Jonos legislation provides
