l^i ?^? : Sti I * I T I t * EDITOR APPELT LAMBASTES FISH LAW BELIEVES THE ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND HOLDS THAT GAME WARDENS ARE NON EST. Editor Appelt, of the Manning Times, who is also State Senator from Clarendon, does not seem to approve of the new fish law, judging from the following editorial article, which appeared in his paper last week under the caption: v "The Fish Law Absurdity." In this issue we reproduce the act passed by the Legislature at its recent session, known as "The Fish Law," and we can state that the act which has become law is not in accordance with the original bill introduced, in that it is so amended as to take away a number of its objectionable features, although there still remains enough of the drastic in it to mkke people wonder how much farther the organized few will go in their work of oppression before the wrath of the masst'3 is aroused. A reading of this abomination will convince any reasonable mind that the framers and the advocates of such legislation cannot have the interests of the masses at heart, nor are they sincerely seeking the protection of the fish; they have some other purpose in view; in our opinion the course of the Audubon society has been run. The leaders overreached themselves by having laws enacted that are oppressively ridiculous and which the people will not stand for; they will demand of their Representatives the repeal of these obnoxious statutes. The A'riter opposed the passage of these laws because he knew that the people were being misrepresented in the representations made by the advocates of the measure. They made it appear it was not only the Audubon society that was urging this legislation, but that the .Farmers' Union insisted upon it. The Senator from Calhoun stood upon the Senate floor and insisted that in urging the passage of the game and fish laws he was representing the Farmers' Union; he further misled the Senate, when Clarendon and Berkeley asked to be exempted, by reading from the constitution the inhibition against special legislation and he argued that if these counties were exempted it would nullify the v.hole act. The writer protested and directed attention to the provision of the constitution which allowed "special provisions in general laws." But the head of the society and its secretary had lobbied for these measures and had secured enough promises from the up-the-State-members, where they have no fishing, to get what they wanted through the Senate, then the only hope was getting it killed in the House, but the Audubon society people were on the job and succeeded in the last hours of the session in slipping it through. Section 3 of the abomination is a moat preposterous proposition, read it: "Should any game fish be taken by net or other appliance while fishing for other than game fish, they shall be immediately returned to the water from whence they came." In the name of sense who is to know whether the fish designated as "game fish" have been thrown back into the water, or into the frying pan of the fisherman? Then, too, the provision of Section 2, whhh forbids the selling of fish between March and November is a ?il? ?ij^i ?lf> ?j^i -f??; T I acKle? KEEP It Ui r????j-?$r I I jdamnable piece of legislation; we are satisfied the succeeding Legislature will repeal it as a matter of self-respect. Under the act a man is permitted to fish with hook and lin?, yet if he catches more than he wishes to eat he cannot sell them, and if he does, he is liable to punishment, because he must prove that the law was not violated, a complete reversal of the promise of the Constitution,' which requires that a man must be proven guilty before he can be punished, but under this miserable law a man must prove his innocence or go down into his pocket to help support a game warden. No, the people will not stand for such legislation,neither will all of the members of the Audubon society stand for it; they have been misled and are convinced that the laws ask-1 ed for go too far, are too drastic, j and they would never have subscribed to the membership of the society had they known the extent the leaders of the society, were going. We have information that there are members of the Audubon society who will have nothing more to do with it. When they joined it, it was to lend their aid to a reasonable protection of the game and fish, but they did not intend to deprive the people of privileges they have enjoyed always; these people are convinced there is more behind the Audubon society movement than mere protection of the birds and fish and they are going to come out of it. There is no doubt that good citizens everywhere favor protection for the game of the forests and the fish of our streams, and the people upthe-State are not blessed with these gifts of nature such as are the people of the low-country, yet the votes secured for the passage of this drastic legislation came from the members of the up-country who did not understand th#conditions and voted that way because of their promise to the gentlemen interested in provid ing a fine position and a good salary I for the chief game warden and his appointees. The original bill providng for the chief game warden sought to give him a salary of S3,500 a year, more than the. Governor gets, and he was to appoint the game wardens under him. but the salary was cut down to SI,900 for the chief and the wardens to $1,200, but in their eagerness for the juicy plum the framers | of the bill slipped up in providing for the appointment, and Mr Rice will have to cool his heels by waiting until the next Legislature meets, because the appointment made by the Governor must be approved by the Senate before the appointee can be commissioned. We understand that Mr Rice wil/ continue, and that he has instructed the county wardens that the work will go on under the direction of the society as heretofore,but where Mr Rice or his under wardens get any police authority from we do not see, because the recent act providing for "a chief game warden" has a repealing clause, and this act has been approved by the Governor. So we say to the county wardens that before they interfere with any hunter or fisherman they had better take a wise precaution to find out what their rights are. It is our opinion that these men are out of office, and have no more authority than any other citizen. Hence we would advise them not to sit in a boat with a j fisherman to watch whether or not he throws back into the water the game fishes he happens to catch, especially on the days the fish are not .

In, that case he will act upon the principle of self-preservation. Hints from Home-makers Peach stains may be easily rej moved by soaking in sweet milk an hour before washing. For coffee and most fruit stains, pour boiling water through the spots. i For chocolate, cocoa or tea stains wash in cold water. Cover grass stains with creai^ of tartar, wet with cold water, and place in the sun. i Prtr Hlnnd stains Rnak in cold water, or water and, salt; when nearly gone, use soapy water. Machine oil, or axle grease, should be covered with lard, washed with cold water and soap,*then with hot water and soap. Red ink stains should be washed with ammonia and water. One or two tables poo nsful of sugar added to*strong turnips when cooking, will greatly improve their flavor If tough meat is rubbed with a cut lemmon before cooking 'twill I make it nice and tender. Stove-blacking, if mixed with a little ammonia, will have a brighter luster and will not burn off. To remove iron-rust, dampen cloth, rub on cream of tartar, and rub on spots well; let stand an hour, then wash; if not all removed, repeat the process.?"Little Helps" from National Magazine for April. - , Why Do You Suffer With headache, biliousness, constipation and the flls it entails, when Foley's Orino Laxative will relieve and cure you.

Kingstree, Apfil 10:?Last Wed- ( nesday evening Miss Marion McFad- . cfcn intertained delightfully in honor ? of Miss Carrie McGaughey, who for the past year has been a student at the Kingstree High school. During the evening games we e played and later the guests were invited into the dining room, where delightful refreshments were enjoyed. About 11:30 the guests bade their young hostess good-night | after a most pleasant evening. There was a surprise party at the ( residence of Mr and Mrs W P Ycung on Friday evening. The friends of Miss McGaughey collected in a body and without warning invaded the home of this popular young couple, who promptly fell in with the spirit of the occasion, and fun and frolic reigned supreme for several hours. Impromptu refreshments were served during the evening. About 12 o'clock the strains of "Sewanee River," sung in the streets by two score pairs of vigorous lungs, attested the fact that the party was over.?News dt Courier. i rbe High Cost of Living Increases the price of many necessities without improving the ; quality.
