Mr Watson's Statement.
Regarding the contest Mr
Watson said:
"The contests that we have
already held under legislative
appropriations have proved of
such immense value to the State
iu dollars and cents, as has
been demonstrated by their inJ
fluence upon the remarkable advance
made in the value of the
corn crop in South Carolina in
the last two years, that I am exceedingly
hopeful of far better
results from this year's contest
than we have yet obtained from
any of them. The change in the
form of the appropriation bill
adopted by the General Assemjbly
this year leaves the matter
of the conduct ot this contest
entirely in the hands of the
State department instead of in
t^e commission of which I was
a member in the past two contests.
This I regret, but I wish
to say that the gentlemen who
have acted heretofore on the
commission will be requested by
myself to act with me as previously.
'An active interest is being
manifested by the farmers in all
parts of the State in this year's
contest,and a considerable number
of entries have already
reached this department. I sincerely
trust that ambitious farmers
and farm boys of ever}'
township in South Carolina will
enter the contest this year. It
costs th?m nothing to enter. I
want to see as large a number
as possible participating in this
work, for even if there were no
other consideration the lessons
they will learn in the keeping of
daily records,'as required by the
manual, will be of immense value*
thpm .inrl thpir n#?irrhhnrs
as well.
"In the general announcement
that I have issued it will be
seen that, instead of confining
this year's contest to merely one
acre, provision is also made for
competition on live acres as
well. Further provision is made
for prizes for farmers' boys who
bend their energies to the growing
of corn on one acre.
"I trust that the arrangement
of prizes will stimulate not only
the farmers of the State but
their sons to enter this year's
contest freely, and stimulate
them to enter with a determination
to win or be well up in the
list of those who obtain the
maximum yield."

THE FISH AND GAME LAWS.
I ?? !
Many Who Would Obey the law are
Confused as to Its Provisions.
Editor Corntv IIecokd.?
I would like a small space in |
your valuable paper 'o rr^ke n !
: little inquiry concerning I' >..1)
law. In conversation with the
j jram.e warden for this county 1
asked, when is nsmng pronmu-j
| ee? His answer was, from Sat-1
iurdav, 1" o'clock p m, until!
j " !
Tuesday after sunrise. Now, II
notice in Charleston News and j
Courier that tishin.*r is prohibited i
from sunset Thursday until sunrise
Monday. Which is correct?
I believe in obey ng the laws of
| the countrv, but these laws
should be made public. Our people
would like to be informed on
these laws. If it is not asking
| too much ot you, Mr Editor.
! trnnlfl^Mi mind oublishing the |
^"^verns these game |
j wardens. r people are not a !
j lawless pe pie,but are generally
law abiding. Hut how can peo|
pie be expected to obey the law
when they don't know the law?
Respectfully,
A Citizen.

Our Lake City correspondent,
Hon W L Bass, who was actively
concerned in the fish and
game legislation at the recent
session ot the Legislature, can
probably give this correspondent
the desired information. The
new acts and joint resolutions
have not yet been published,
and we would not know where
to find the fish and game law as
amended to date, unless Mr
Bass can help us. Editor The

Mrs li L Logan, living on Depot
Ave, Manning, S C, sajs: "I suffered
a great deal from kidney trouble.
1 could not rest well at night on account
of the too frequent action of
the kidney secretions and my back
ached and pained me constantly.
There was also an aching through
my kidneys and 1 could not find a
position that was comfortable. I
used plasters and liniments, but did
not find relief. The secietion^ from
my kidneys were highly colored, and
contained a brick dust sediment. It
was finally my good fortune to learn
of Doan's Kidney Pills, aud I procured
a-box and began their use.
They banished the backaches and
pains and regulated the action of my
iiidueys. I feel a great deal better
and can/ say that Doan's Kiduey
Pills acted up to all claims made for
them."
