C. Featheratono, CALLS ON WARDEN S TO ENFORCE LAWS Gibbes Asks Force for lnewed Vigi. lainlce in View of' Jeceit Declsion by Asst. Attorney Gleneral. Wiade Hampton Gibbes, chief game warden, has called on all game war dens throughout the State for renewed vigilance in the enforcement of the game laws since the opinion by Claud N. ,Sapp, assistant attorney general. that the law was unconstitutional. "You will please use greater dill gence than ever in bringing cases for violations. The way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it," is the sun mary of instructions he has given his force. Commenting on tile opinion, Mr. Gibbes says: "A number of citizens and some game iwardens and nagis trates scem to suppose that the opin ion of the assistant attorney general can repeal or suspend the operation of a law passed by our State legislature. As a matter of fact, the assistant at torney general himself suggests thilat there be a trial in court to decide tie case. If any parties arrested or fined for hunting without licelses wisl to make a test case in the courts, we -will ask (he attorney general's olile to represelt this departnielt iII the mat ter. Un til the matter Is (arried through the siprOme court of Soulth 1 Carolina, tile law of the legislatuire must stand." 'ile following lettor of inst ruti ons has been sent to all game wardens: "The assistant attorney general has given his oplilion that the resident hun1itters' license law of this State Is unilconsiittittonal. This opllion does not settle the matter, but a court do cision is iecessary, aild the law staiIs tintil repealed or thrown out by tile Supreme court. "Tierefore you will Please use greater diligence than ever in bring ilg casc for violatioin. The way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it. "The result will be a Statewide li cense law, and law enforcing game wardlens will be wanted on the jo) In every county. "This department can sell licelses to law abiding citizens without war dens, but determined and diligent oill cers are needed for the enforcement of the law against the lawless."

Ige and Chevrolet Cars Why We Are Selling Lalley-Light The day of electricity on th. rarm is just dawning. Lalley-Light convinced us that it is, by far, the most reliable, efficient and economical farm electric light and power plant on the market. In brief, those are the reasons why we have taken the local territory for the retail sale of Lalley-Light. This plant has eight years of successful, every-day farm use behind it. Its dependabi ,ty, its quality, its low cost of operation, its long life ~d its almost total Treedom from repairs and replac ents are established facts. We take to chances in recommending Lalley-Light; and the fdrmers who buy them take no chances. Lalley.i~ght on the farni~meantlfieend1 of a great deal of i 'nye 'co-anti'fiscomfort; the saving of much labo nii a degree of fire protection impossible with any open-flame light. It means running water in house and barns, if the owner cares to install a water system. It means safe light in house and barn and outbuildings. It means endless power to run cream separators, churns, washing machines and half a dozen more labor-saving devices. In a word, it literally makes-over farm living conditions; and does much to improve wvorkinig con<Mtions. We believe so thoroughly 'n Lalley-Light that we have contracted for a stock of ;plants, from which intallations can be made without shipping and other delays. Lalley-Light, once the buyer andI his family have familiar ized themselves with its simple mechamism and its operation, needs practically no service from the dealer. - Nevertheless we are prepared~ to render whatever service may be necessary, now or in the future. Our salesrooms are equipped to give you a denmonstra tion of Lalley-LUght In operation. Or, if you prefer a demonstration at your home, telephono and we shall be glad to give it, without cost or obliga, tion to you. In any event, make it a point to see 0Lalley-Light in operation as soon as possible. HARNEY ELECTRIC CO. I nnrenis. '. ('.
