Dynamiting Fish.
Recently several persons have
oomplaincd to us that certain jxirties
are dynamiting fish in Black river
and have requested us to warn
these violators of the law of the
penalty attached to their crime.
For the benefit of all concerned
we quote Section 8 of the new ]
ame Fish Law, as follows:
I
It shall be unlawful to throw,
place or put dynamite or any explosive
in any lake, stream or inland
water in Berkeley, Bamberg,
Dorchester, Orangeburg, tnester- j
field, Colleton, Clarendon and Williamsburg
counties for the purpose
of taking fish. For the violation of
this section, the person so violating
shall be fined five hundred (8500)
dollarsor be imprisoned for one year.
A pretty severe penalty this,
and those who are wantonly i
breaking the law had better be !
warned ere it is too late.
Governor Blea.se said last week
thst he pardoned several convicts
"just l>ecausc he felt good." That
ia alt right, no doubt, from the (
OoYornor's stand-point. When he i
feels bad he would have a few ,
poor wretches hanged, perhaps, to ,
harmonize with his moods. ?
____________ i
Dynamite may be all right for
ditch-digging and blowing out '
stumps, but f<?r fishing purjjoses <
it is too dangerous. The man who 1
wiil kill all the fish in the river J
to get a mess fur himself ought i
to he taught a lesson, and if the
hold and flagrant operations re- *
^ported be kept up, the tidier- i
man, as well as the fish, will
Ik; caught. Then . wateh some
one run around with a petition j
to have the ]>oor, persecuted j
martyr of righteousness pardoned, 1
or paroled or pensioned, according
tostrength of the "pull" with our I]
esteemed Chief Executive. 1
^ <
The first response to our ap- i
peal for help to pay for that !
i
new press came from an esteem- j
ed friend at Walters, who, because *
he is a modest man who would |
deprecate his worthy deeds being i
published abroad, shall be name-1 ^
i
V
1 fv
es*. Our friend in renewing his
lubscriptioH added an extra dol- ^
ar, which pays his subscription |
,o 1013. If one-third of the j
iul?cribers on our mailing list ivould
do this, we would soon
b>e able to pay for the new press $|
and thus remove a burden of $1
lebt that will otherwise hang
aver us for years to come. It j
is a perfectly safe investment. ^
Should the paper change hands,
[>r the present editor pass away,
The Record will continue to be ^
issued every week, and all paidin-advance
subscribers will be
amply protected. The value of ^
the plant is good for every out- o
ajinflincp obligation, including sub- h
scriptions unexpired, and by paying
a long time ahead you don't
n
have to worry about renewing.

A Pardonable Pun. ^
Most if not all of the deep sea
wunding now done is done with
iteel wire. Professor Silvanus P.
Thompson in his recent "Life of ic
William Thomson/* better known n
is Lord Kelvin, says that that sci- q
sntist was one of the first to recomsiend
the abandonment of the old
hemp rope system.
In connection with this use of
steel wire the story is told that
Joule, visiting White's shop, found
3ir William surrounded by coils of
fire which lie was inspecting and
>n inquiring their use was told that
they were pianoforte wire for <
lounding.
"For sounding what note?" inquired
Joule.
"The deep C," was Sir William's
reply.
One Way to Create Peers.
Peerages have sometimes been
icquired in curious ways. When the j
lead of a well known west country a I
'amiiv was raised to the upper |
rouse a good deal of surprise was 5
^pressed at such a distinction be- ?
Dg conferred upon him, for he had j
rot rendered any particular service ij
x> his party, having lost practically ji
!very election he had contested. '.j
Lord Beaconsfield furnished me i;
rith the key to this enigma. "Well," j
(aid he, "we really did not know
rhat to do with him, for he was i
)ositively doing us harm. Wherever
re stood he was beaten, so at last
ve thought the best way to get rid
>f him would be to send him to the
lpper house."?From "Under Five ^
Seigns."

Watted Taltnt
"Miss Goldbags?Caroline/' began
the suitor in nicely modulated
tones as he extended his right hand
and hitched up his left trousers leg
preparatory to assuming the attitude
prescribed by the best authorities
as most suitable for such occasions,
"as I humbly approach the
shrine of your dazzling loveliness,
like a poor moth beating his quivering
wings against the ineffable
brightness of"?
"Excuse me, Captain Cashless,"
gently interrupted the beautiful
maiden, "but perhaps I ought to
tell you that I accepted my cousin
Fred last night."
For a moment the ardent wooer
was dumfounded. Then he turned
bitterly away. v
"Then all I can say," he remarked,
"is this: You've missed one of
the most eloquent and carefully rehearsed
proposals you ever listened
to."?St. Paul Dispatch.
Spaniels.
Spaniels, of which there are
manv breeds, are supposed to have
first come from Spain, from which
circumstance is derived their distinctive
name. Charles I. was an
ardent admirer of a small variety
of this animal, and from that arose
the designation of his pets, known
the world over as King Charles.
Blenheim or Marlborough spaniels,
which greatly resemble the latter in
form and general appearance, get
their English name from Blenheim
palace, in Oxfordshire, where the
breed has been preserved since the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
Pat's Retort.
A one legged Welsh orator named
Jones was pretty successful in
bantering an Irishman, when the
latter asked him:
"How did you come to lose your
leg?"
"Well," said Jones, "on examining
my pedigree and looking up my
descent I found there was some
Irish blood in me and, becoming
convinced that it was settled in the
left leg, I had it cut off at once/'
"By the powers," said Pat, "it
would have been a very good thing
if it had only settled in your head."
