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??;

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

biting well, for the fisherman might
| get restless and in shifting around j
j may accidentally upset the boat. 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"

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
