Game and Fish Laws.

A representative Of Richmond
paper making a trip down the Wa.
teree river by canoe, from the
mountains to the sea, made note
Of the workings Of the game laws
in North and South Carolina, in the
territory through which he passed
and in speaking Of this made the
following comparisons while in Cam
den this week to a Chronicle man:
1T was a blunder Of destiny that
killed Isaac Walton before he lived
to see the working Of the laws in
South Carolina for the preservation
Of game fish in the waters Of her
rivers. Had he been born in North
Carolina he would in all probability
have moved across the South Caro-
lima line as soon as he was big
enough to dig his own bait, for the
wise fish never goes north of the
line.
In the protection OF her fish,
the Palmetto State is far and way
ahead Of many Of her sister States.
One Of the first questions fish
erman coming down the Catawba
river across the Carolina line asks
the farmer living along the banks
is the why and wherefore OF the
better fishing as he progresses in
South Carolina and he is informed
that 1t Is not because the season
Is better, but because the State does
not allow anything so unsportsman-
like as fishtrap in her river falls,
but the fisherman must be q sports
man whether he will or not and stick
to his rod and line, a trout line be-
ing the ultimate limit Of his ardor
for spoils. AS a result the increase
in sport is noticeable, nor is the
farmer curtailed in his dish Of Sun
day carp.
"Other States will follow this ex-
ample and do we'll The Palmetto
State. on tho other hand nigh do
worse than to follow the example
Of her sister State. North Carolina,
where laws in certain localities call
for a closed season, partridges for
instance, for n whole year, which
has worked with excellent results
in that State"

The Canadian Campaign.

Montreal, Sept "a significant
development as election day draws
near is the acceptance by Government
Ministers of nominations in two sep
arate constituencies OF this province.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is to run in Soul
anges and also in Quebec east. The
latter seat he has occupied for years
and here he is practically sure of
election. In Soulanges the Liberal
party was rent by dissension and
faced a strong local man in DR..
l-orue, the opposition candidate. 1t
is felt that if anyone can win there
Sir Wilfrid can.
The Postmaster-G General in the
Laurier Ministry, DR.. Henri S. Re.
land, is running in his old constitu-
ency Of Beace, where the normal
Liberal majority is in four figures.
and also in Montgny, which is
Nationalist stronghold, represented at
Quebec by Almond L. Avergne, the
lieutenant of Mr.. Bourassa in his
campaign against Laurier.
The Minister of the Navy and
Fisheries, Rodolphe Lemineux, is to
contest Rouville as we'll as his for
mer constituency Of Gaspe, in which
he is practically sure to win.
The nomination Of the Ministers
in these double CONTINGENCIES is be-
ing construed by the opposition as an
evidence of weakness, for if the elec-
ton should be close it will deprive
the Liberals of three votes in the
first division of the House. assuming
that the Minister'S are elected in both
constituencies for which they are
running. Under the rules, a member
OF Parliament cannot resign until a
Speaker has been elected, and it is
foreseen that in case the parties are
closely divided the test vote will
come on the election of Speaker.
Mr.. Bourassa started out by treat
ing reciprocity as a negligible issue.
and rather inclined to favor 1t. He
mas now got to the point where he
places himself in direct opposition,
and this is interpreted to mean that he
has found his supporters less favor
able to it than he at first supposed
they would be.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will return to
this province next week and will ad-
dress meetings, mostly in the French
speaking districts. He will wind up
the campaign with a demonstration
in Montreal, to which excursions will
be run from all over the province

Mr.. r. l. Manning returned Thurs
day afternoon after attending the
convention Of cotton men at Mont

that the meeting was a very large
ono, but that it was very conserva-
tive.
The convention realized the fact
that the farmers Of the South had
obligations which they had to meet,
but at the same time the sense Of the
meeting was that the farmers ought
to hold such cotton as they were not
compelled to sell to meet these OBJ
legations.
