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.
