The Trinity Ridge second mine ball

to be present, Judging from the joy

the tale OF woe from the I.aurens side

Grabbing FISH
NOT AGAINST LAW

Assistant Attorney General Makes Re-
ply on This SUBJECT to Hon. w. C..
Irby.
In reply to letter written the At
torney General concerning the grab.
bling of fish in this state, Hon w. c..
from NJ. p DeBruhl Assistant At
torney General:
July Z. 1911.
Hon. w. C. Irby,
Laurens, S. c.
Dear Sir:
Your letter to the Attorney General
asking for an opinion in regard to the
catching of fish, as provided for in
the act approved February 18th. 1911
was received after the date on which
yo' stated you desired to have the
opinion. Section of the act referred
to provides that no person shall catch
fish in the waters of this State with
any appliances of anv kind except
hook and line with ordinary bait. or
by spoon or artificial fly or phantom
minnow, or by artificial bait between
the first day of April and the first day
of November of each year. think
this act prohibits the catching of fish
by any appliance except those special
ly allowed. There is nothing in the
act of 1911. or the act of 1910 which
it amends, TO indicate that the act was
intended merely as a local act fo"
certain counties. | do not think the
act can be construed as preventing any
person from catching fish with his
hands, unless he uses some forbidden
appliance to enable him to catch them
in this manner Section Z of the act
of 1910 provides that any -migra-
tory fish, except game fish may be
caught at any time and in any man
ner not prohibited by this act. Sec
ton of the act names the fish which
are to be known as game fish.
Yours very truly,

As secretary-treasurer and manager
OF the company, Col. J. T. McKibben
has been selected. The company is
indeed fortunate in securing so able
a man 10 fill this place. He is a grad
uate Of Grvington College, Irvington,

OF the Brotherhood of Labor, paper

at Springfield. III. The latter paper
was devoted TO the interests OF the
industrial classes and TO temperance.
In this city he was connected with
the Union Review and with the Ard
more Republican. A well known mag
azine in speaking of him said: "Col.
McKibben is a man of large and varied
experience, cultivated gentleman
and one deserving well of his fellow
men. whom he has consistently served
throughout his career"
Other than in the newspaper and
educational world, Col McKibben has
a broad experience. He has been con
nected with mercantile establishments
here and in other cities. He is pains
taking. oblging. honest and compe-
tent lie possesses that degree Of en-
ergy and competency that will lead
him 10 success in any undertaking and

Company his friends expect to see
him succeed as he has in other lines
of worthy endeayor.
