Ntwa ud Views from Sakers /> ??Saiters Depot* June 7.?We had copious showers on Friday and SatlUtS&Aaeh were of great benefit to the gardens and crops in general. Corn is small for the time of year, owing to the very unfavorable weather conditions. Cotton has grown very rapidly the past week and bids fair to make a good crop. Several of the farmers have reported the appearance of the boll weevil which is a discouraging feature at this time. Tobacco crop is spotted, being good in some places and small in others; oats are being harvested, the crop is very good and much needed at this time as the Remand for hay and oats has been grater than usual. Those-of-our young folks who are home from their respective colleges are: Miss Lula Ferrell, Chicora College, Columbia, where she graduated; Misses Ann, Lorena and Emma LiFrage, Winthrop College; and Mr. Isaac Edward Davis, Clemson College. Miss Emma LiFrage graduated at Winthrop the session just closed. They all had a successful year. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Pooser have returned to Cameron after a pleasant visit to relatives here.

To the Farmers of South Carolina: The boll weevil has made his ap- ] pearance in the southern part of the < i State. They are now attacking young j j cotton. They attack the bud of the , plant, sucking it until it turns yellow ; and dies. You will find these small ] spots scattered over the field. Exam- | ine your cotton and if you find the , weevil, now is your time to get in ] your work before they can multiply. jPick them off and burn them, there ] ' are only a few now, but they will be , I millions after a while, if you don't , i destroy them now. Do this now, and , .when your-cotton commences to take j on fruit be sure to pick up the stung forms on a specified <lay every week j and burn them. ) | Remember, your cotton should be ] ! plowed thoroughly every week, and j i the stung forms picked up and burn- ] ed, every week. Commence now, i 'pick them off in your young cotton, , there are not many. Pick up your , forms, they *ill not be many (if you start the fight now) and you can j make a crop of cotton, but if you j won't do this, then, if you have the < weevils, you had better plow your cotton up and plant corn in its place ] while you have time, for you won't i make any cotton. j Yours very truly, < R.

A "LIFER'S" BANQUET la: yo Farewell to Sing Sing for One and Back Again for Guests. tK til fii William Perry will be released this mi morning from Sing Sing prison on M Gevernor Smith's pardon. After hav- ^ ing fifteen years of a 'life sentence, 0f says a recent article in the Son and jf New York Herald, and to celebrate ev bis return to the outside he gave a banquet last night in the dining room of the warden's residence, at which bis guests were the warden, Lewis E. Lawes; Mrs. Lawes, the Rev. William E. Cashin, the prison Catholic chaplain, and seventeen convicts, all of whom, like Perry had been sentenced to life imprisonment and who have served more than twelve years. Perry's dinner is entirely unique in ^ prison functions. There probably has g, never been anything like it in any prison in the United States. Every ^ man of the eighteen "lifers" was al- g lowed to cross the road that separates g, the warden's office from the residence ov >n his word of honor that he woudl ^ not try to escape?and there was not a man among them who made the 0? slightest effort to get away when he ^ saw the clear road and possible free- jg iom in front of him. ^ The dining room of the warden's ^ residence had been gayly decorated ^ with flags and bunting and flowers, g( and excepting for the gray uniforms nf the convicts there was little if any- W( thing to differentiate Perry's banquet from the scores of official dinners that ye have been given by prison officials in gj the same room. The guards that nec- __ essarily accompanied the convicts were not in the room with the diners; they were in another room, out of 5. sight, and they really were not need- . id. ? After the banquet the convicts inarched across the road and back into the prison with hardly a look at the. ) first bit of open country and freedom v they had seqn for more than twelve 1 years and which some of them never } may see again. Perry is probably the most popular j convict in the prison, and more than the usual good wishes were expressed for him in the speeches made by Warden Lawes and Father Cashin to the banqueters. He had been the waiter in the warden's residence for several years and in addition to the few cents | a day allowed, him by the State a considerable sum has been placed to ( his account by the warden's guests | who wished to tip him, but who were not allowed by law to give a convict money, but who were permitted to leave gifts with the prison authorities to be given to the prisoner when he was released. ; | Perry will leave Sing Sing with more money, therefore, than any con- 1 vict in recent years, although the expenses of last.night's fast put quite a dent in his bank roll. He frankly admitted this in the SDeech that he made to them, but he said he thought, he had got his money's worth. "I'm going out of here to-morrow," said Perry, "and neither this nor any other prison will ever see me again. I've got a girl and I've got a job, and I'm going to stick to both." o From Chief Game Warden. The County Record has received the following from Chief Game Warden Gibbs, and as we deem the matter of interest to our readers, reproduce it ; for whatever it is worth to them: Kingstree Record, Kingstree, S. C., , Gentlemen: Your people are very much agitated over the question of a ' special regulation as to the closed ?j season for fishing in Williamsburg i County in the months of June and j July. Therefore, I am enclosing you copy of my letter of this date to the Game Warden in charge of your coun- \ ty. If you consider the matter as of sufficient local interest you may give I the letter such publication as you see f fit. June 7, 1920. "Mr. Albert R. Mosely, Game Warden, Salter's Depot, S. C.?Dear Mr. Mosely: Your favor of the 3rd received on my return to Columbia. The provision as closed season in Williamsburg County is an act amendatory to Sec. 755 of the General Statutes. The opinion 'of Attorney General Peeples was that in the County of Williams4-1% A /av T-iaI ofinn nf fKlQ law UUIg UIC XU1VO IVi *1VJ*?VIVU w* ?? should be turned in to the County treasury as ordinary County funds. Therefore, the County would have to settle with you or your Magistrate would have to pay you your half of the fines on cases you bring for vio- I lation of this law there and the balance of the money would go into the County treasury. Since this law amended a State-wide law or one pur- j porting to regulate fishing all over the State and simply made its provisions stricter in your particular county I doubt very much whether the Supreme court would hold this act to be unconstitutional. I cannot help feeling however, that there is some doubt on the subject, since Sec. 755 itself exempted certain counties in the State from the provision as to selling fish. Not being a lawyer I can only give you and fman's view and I hope you and ur good people will be able to settle ur local questions to your satiafacm. 1 have seen enough lately in e way of haadfols of roe taken from jh caught with hook and line last anth and this month to show to my tisfaction that it would be a good althy thing to stop the catching all kinds of fish in the months of ay and June by any means whater".
