One sportsmen chapter w?* able to
build a rl*h hatchery and dedicate Its
entire output to the replenishing of
the public water* of the state. 'Thla
was down tn Alabama, but tt ha* tnt*-re*t
here (or two reason.*: It show*
what a lay organisation can do. and
is doing, toward replenishing the supply
of flsh in the public domain; *nd
the moving spirit in the undertaking
Is an old lime Columbian who removed
from South Carolina to Birmingham
many year* ago. }
The Allan Gray Hatchery Is a WPA'
project, sponsored by the Jefferson
County Sportsmen's association and
built at a cost of $116,000.
The Jefferson county fishermen
have Just dedicated their new fish
hatchery near Birmingham, and the
occasion was of sufficient Importance
to attract the United States Commissioner
of Fisheries Frank T Bell
from Washington, I. T. Qulnn, the
state commissioner of conservation,
and two thousand other persons, all
Interested In the undertaking.
Three years ago. so the newspaper
article tells, the group started work
lag on the project, and the last six)
months have been the hardest, but
the hatchery has been built arid one
dream has come true at least. With
the WUA aid the sportsmen chapter
hat completed the hatchery and hat
the dlttioction of being one of the |
lew privately owned hatcheries whose
entire output will go into the public
streams (They claimed over there
that it wat the "only" hatchery to
using itt output, but we canuot forget
the line work of I>illon county
in good old Soath Carolina).
The Jefferson county organization
claims a membership of about 1,800
and according jo pictures in the Jllrrningham
papers and in the state's
conservation magazine, most of them
attended the dedication ceremonies
and barbecue.
It is heralded that this is only the
beginning ot an elaborate program for
restocking Alabama's waters. This is
a parallel ease with Soath Carolina,
for we build hatcheries and replenish
our streams by artificial propagation,
and have to do an extra good Job of
it, for we don't have a closed seasou
to permit our fish to spawn and hatch
In their natural environment unmolested.
Alabama like South Carolina!
has no closed season, but does havej
a size and bag limit on their game
fish.
May the lists of conservation minded
fishermen continue to Increase,
and their Interest never lag. for they j
are getting results, all over the na
tioti. Including South Carolina. I

Thus Palmer's record for chivalry
In these matters seem? about to fall

of several thousand dollars a month,
Mr. Palmer Just can't see his way

The former Manhattan debutante

In court, indicates that abandonment

Palmer's previous wives were

Martinez de Hoz, Argentine beauty,
whom he wooed, won and wed in
Paris. She divorced him the day

Spend Your Money In Camden
Tne ..'ebtciu Auto Associate Store,
home owned and operated by W. R.
Bowden. believes In spending its money
at home where It it made, and believes
that If everyone would do this
we would have a bigger and better
Camden.
_ In a recent survey they made of
the town they found that merchandise
can be bought Just as cheap in Camden
as some place else. It has been
found that some of the business men
of Camden who depend on the people
of Camden for their business success
and progress, have repeatedly gone
to some larger place to buy their own
personal necessities. If they do not
patronize their own people, how then
can they expect their people to patronize
them? If they would only stop
and think where their living is made
and how they are enabled to stay in
business, we are sure that they would
soon give their local merchants more
consideration when they buy. However,
we realize that every thing one
might want or need can not be bought
in Camden, but, at the same time, if
we would spend our money in Camden,
it would not be long before It
would make possible for us to fulfill
our every need right here at home.
Higher freight rates on shipments
from the South Into the North than
rates on similar shipments from the
North Into the South operate as a protective
tariff in favor of the North
and against the South. A 100 percenter
endorses the administration's
failure to do anything\to remove this
discrimination against the solid Democratic
South. The South is more
interested in a Fair Deal than in a
New Deal that stands for a differential
against the South in relief allotments,
wages and hours and freight
rates.?Sumter Item.
