The new law, which applies only to Williamsburg County, regarding the taking of fish from rivers ana | lakes within its boundary limits, became effective Tuesday, June 1, 1920. This new law is in the form of an amendment to the general fish law applicable to Williamsburg County appearing on the Statues at Large of South Carolina, bill No. 322, entitled, "An act regulating the catching of fish in the rivers, creeks and other streams in Williamsburg County," and reads as follows: "Section 1. Act 1916.?Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That Section 1 of an Act entitled, "An act regulating the catching of fish in the rivers, creeks anu other streams in Williamsburg County," approved March 6, 1916, be, and the same is hereby amended by adding at the end of the said section the following proviso: "Provided that it shall be unlawful for any person to catch game fish in said county by any method or plan whatsoever during the period from the first dav of June to the first day of August of each and every year." so that said section, when amended, shall read as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted by the / General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That in Williamsburg county the law for the protection of game fish shall remain as now provided except that it shall be unlaw' ful for any person in Williamsburg county to catch fish from their beds by the use of stake and short line, or by any other plan whatsoever, especially devised for this purpose: Provided, that it shall be unlawful for any person to catch game fish in said county by any method or plan whatsoever during the period from the first day of June to the first day of August of each and every year. Section 2. That this act shall go into effect on approval by the governor." The above act was approved by Governor Cooper on the 29th day of March 1919, and is now applicable in thw rnnntv Violations of the act * arc punishable by a fine of not less j than $10.00 nor more than SI00.00 or! , thirty days imprisonment. For several years past there has . been a wail and cry among our people for a revised, or a better fish law; a law that would put an end to the indiscriminate killing and capturing of our game fish at any and all seasons in the year. Many measures have been suggested, and heretofore little or no regard has been held for the fish laws of the county. * Now that we have a measure which would actually prohibit the ruthless capture of game fish and carries the necessary potentialities for their prof tection and conservation, already is heard the cry that the act is unconstitutional and unfair, merely because it applies to Williamsburg County apd is not state-wide in its scope. We venture to say that this cry is being made by some, perhaps many, of those who clamoured louder for the enactment of just such a law. It is very* evident that the law is a * good one and should be obeyed. By it we will have more and better fish eventually. A good sport will rejoice in its enforcement, but the fellow who delights in "tickling" and 'tpegging" fish during the beddnig or spawning season will be most grievously opposed to it. In as much as a recess and possible adjournment will be taken by Congress Saturday until after the political conventions, the bonus bill seems doomed to a long sleep in the Senate committee. If a recess is taken lead% ers do not contemplate convening until about September 1. Some senators are quite frank in saying that the bill will never get any further and die where it is. The Atlantic Coast Line Railway Co. is being tormented by another strike, this time it is among the clerks at Columbia, Florence and Sumter, chiefly. However, trains are still moving ami h is gratifying to note that the company has issued an ultimatum, whereby the strikers must return to work today or thc^f places will be permanently filled. o???? SPRING-TIME. The youthful author of the following poem, who now is only eleven years old. will be remembered by I many in Kingstreq where she spent one school term several years ago w'th her aunt. Mrs. L.' \V. Gillard. She is the daughter of Captain and Mrs. M('Davis Horton. and is now making her home in Washington. D. C. . where her father is engaged as secretary to Senator Dial. 1 woke one day in the early dawn And on the trees and all around A goodly miracle I found? jA delicate blur of feathery clouds Hung over the trees and on the j ground? A dream of finest gossamer sil?: Pale green, all flecked with sun and dew, Like a wonderful carpet spread to view. Hither and thither there darted, too. A thrush, warm brown, or a bord of blue? Joyful messengers sent to you; Soft cries of happy wild things afloat, With the rustling of leaves as the breezes blow. The air was filled with a silver note, Now thrilling high, now waning low. Over all a delicate silver mist; Birds, trees and flowers it softly kissed. But soon the sun, with its golden fire, Will through the mist its magic fling. And to us bring our heart's desire, A wondreful, glorious day of spring! Sarah Horton. iNUlltt Ur .irrLltAHUA runi FINAL DISCHARGE ???
