New Fish Law Unfavorable. Editor County Record: Will you allow me a few words in regards to this new fish law as published in the last week Record. About eight years ago Senator E. C. Epps had passed the law as first published in the Record, one of the best solutions of the fish law?and the fish had increased wonderfully. Why? Because it had the endorsement of those who like to fish for sport. You could not find a fish trap, and illegal netting was the J exception. Anyone who knows any> thing about {he habits of fish can tell - - TKof you that t'Sn Will go up Hiram. the fish ratVed in our part of the river will not step until the upper waters of Black River are reached. So why should we Ve deprived of the two best months \>f fishing to raise fish for Clarendon ^County. The fish we get all come frojn Georgetown County during every rise in the river. This county has no su& la w, so why should we? I have talked with at least twenty-five citizens of both sides of the river and not one is in favor of this new law. I expect our Representatives have been imposed upon by a petition and if so they should explain. I feel certain that if Senator McCutcheon had been able to fill out his time no such law would have been passed, for he was a man of rare judgment and had a keen insight into nature. We have in Mr. Albert Mosley a man well suited as game warden and * L-':?? ""'II <ln liis Hntv. But I X UCIICVC lit; nai ?v v.??v _ am afraid that.he has overlooked the fact that the law says (unless recently ehanged) that no one shall hold two offices at same time, either of honor or trust. That our people will back him up in the enforcement of our game laws he need have no fear. - But at to this new fish law he need not expect any co-operation from the fisherman in this section. B.
