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repealed is to enforce it," is the sun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staiIs tintil repealed or thrown out by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get a bad law repealed is to enforce it.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."

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.
