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.

Miss Emma LiFrage graduated at
Winthrop the session just closed.
They all had a successful year.

Boll Weevil in the State.
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, <

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."

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".
' '
Your8 very truly,
I CHIEF GAME WARDEN.
