unfertilised ponds will support

Kaximum of 1,600 bream and 200

In addition to the above tlah every

of at least 100 per acre. Ttyeao aid

are excellent food for bass. They can
usually beat be secured from neigh*
boring ponds or lily pools.
Restocking old pouds: After a poud
has once been properly-stocked with
fish, it should /not need restocking.
Experiments at Auburn have shown
that if only one pair of Jaream or bass
are present per acre of water they
cah produce more small fish than the
pond can support. In older ponds
poor fishing is not due to lack of sufficient
brood stock, but usually to the
presence of considerable number of
large fish which are too wary to bite
and which eat up moBt of the small
fish produced in the pond. When this
condition occurs, good fishing can
best be regained by draining the
pond, removing all the fish and returning
just the right numbers of
small fish after refilling the pond.
The large fish should not be returned
to the water.
Weed control; As was mentioned
above, the majority of food in the
pond is furnished by microscopic
plants which float in the water. It
has been found possible to raise as
high as 580 pounds of flBh per acre
in ponds which do not contain any of
the larger water plants such as water
mosses, water lilies and pond weeds.
These larger plants are of very little
value In ponds and most of them are
detrimental. In new ponds they should
be. pulled out whenever they appear.
Most of them are easy to control if
not allowed to get thoroughly established.
After they are once established,
it is practically Impossible to
get rid of them without draining the
pond and allowing the bottom to dry
out for several weeks or longer.

"spread of the tax burden necessary J
to maintain the institutions of South'
Carolina without working undue hard'I
ship upon any group or class of the
cltlsens," was submitted to the senate
Onance committee today by a subcommittee
of five members.
No actiou was takeu by the full
committee, Chairman S, M. Ward,
who also headed the sub committee,
announcing that it was desired to
give the members a chance to study
the proposals.
Along with the report, which embodies
a fourteen point program for
raising additional revenue, the subcommittee
recommended a $15,024,804
general appropriation bill. Thl?
represented total Increases of $1,969,888
over 1938-1939 appropriations.

on lubricating oils, $400,000.
14. Increase of the liquor tax from
96 cents to $1.28 a gallon, $500,000.
The report said the committee had
"carefully investigated the status of
workmen's compensation insurance
as now carried in South Carolina,
and has found that there is a considerable
spread between the amount of
losses Incurred.
"Statistics . . . indicate that the
premium income to the companies
carrying th!a m?nirnnr?? amounts
to approximately $1,900,000 annually,
while losses incurred are in the neighborhood
of $700,000.
"Twenty or more states are successfully
operating the Insurance feature
of the workmen's compensation
and have in practically every instance;
been able to build up a substantial
reserve fund, or to reduce materially
the rates of such insurance.
"The committee believes that the
operation of this business on a monopolistic
basis'by the state of South
Carolina would yield a profit of approximately
$1,200,000 annually and
that . . . the general fund Of this
slate could reasonably expect to realize
$750,000 annually from this source
on the basis of present rates.
Occupational and business licenses
have "been used for a number of
years by the states of North Carolina,
Tennessee and others," the committee
said, in suggesting that they "be fixed
in line wtih those of other states . . ."
Final Polo Game .
- Sunday afternoon
The curtain will fall on Camden's
1938-1939 polo season at the number
one polo field Sunday afternoon when
the Camden-Augusta foursome takes
on the allCamden four In what promises
to be the best polo clash of the
year.
The hundreds of spectators who
took advantage of the Junedike weather
last Sunday to witness the first
game of this series, declared it to be
the finest demonstration of polo offered
this year and are anticipating
another treat next Sunday.
The duo-city team, consisting of
players from the? Camden and Augusta
clubs, had a two goal handicap
allowance last week and It was this
margin that enabled them to nose out
all-Camden outfit by a 6 to 4 score.
It was "Long" Joe Bates, the plumed
Knight of Wateree, and member of
the local club, who scored all the
goals for the winners. The final
counter was made by Joe after the
bell had sounded in the last chukker
and it waa this tally that decided the
game.
The game this Sunday, marking the
finale of the greatest polo season In
Camden history, will bring the follow-!
lng players Into action: For the allCamden
team, Tupper will work at
No. 1, DuBose at No. 2, Ldghtfoot at
No. 3 and Robertson at back. The
Camden-Augusta foursome will have
Burns at No, 1, Wagner at No. 2, Mtnnlck
at No. 8 and Bates at back.

so wo hoard. It was a 1939-55
typo reception: ii didn't begin till
10:35 p. m. \\'o hoard that tho women
of course would wear "evening"
and .the men should likewise wear
tails or tuxes. ,
Having no talea, but owning a tux,
1 proceeded to dress about 9:30. Not
having dressed up for over a year, 1
found that i hud gained ti lbs. in
weight and that caused the tux to
almost squeeze me to deuth around
tho waist-band, but 1 finally got it
buttoned.
1 had to wear a pair of new shoes.
They pinched everything from my
aukles dowu. Never suffered so much
since 1 was run through a threshing
machine in 1909. My collar was likewise
too tight and also too sawtoothhy.
With the aid of one wife
and one^ daughter and 3 shoe hooks,
1 finally "UptHt buttoned around my
neck. \

chin, and forced mo to hold my head

shirt and low cut vest made me look

We had planned to take a neighbor,
that is? tWe wife had planned
to take a neighbor. She forgot the
Bald neighbor till we had walked thru
the door into the reception hall at
the place where we were being recepted.
We all rushed out to go and
get the neighbor. The receptors, never
did know what in the world had
happened. But we got back in duo
time, as well as in plenty of time,
Just as the clock on the mantel-board
chimed mid-night.
All of the women including my old i
lady, looked s.\vell in their long, flowing
gowns, cut dangerously low in
front as well as behind. We had a
fine time, and I was repaid for tho
suffering being dressed up caused tne.
I am glad though that 1 have to wear
tuxes only about once a year. I could
not stand the ordeal oftener than
that. yores trulie,
