Whereas, Hon. B. r. Tillman ha!
for 18 years served the state Of Soutf
Carolina in the United States senate
with fidelity and conspicuous ability
representing the true sentiment o.
our people on national issues, ant
having by diligence and long service
won a position Of commanding influ
ence in that body"
BE 1t resolved, That this convention
hereby indorses his record as sena'
tor"
The above resolution was offered by
N. s. Richards of Kershaw.
I'VE advocate the conservation Of
the natural assets Of the state, which
are still in the hands Of the people
as a whole, believing that the insec.
tivorous birds Of the state are the only
true check to insect pests, We advocate
the Enforcement Of the laws protecting
them. Realizing fully the great value
Of the game birds and animals Of the
state, from a financial standpoint al
we'll as from the standpoint Of recrea'
tion, and as those whom the state per.
mits to take these birds and animals
compensate the state in some measure
for the use Of this asset, we believe
that a hunters license Is the most eff
fective and practical method Of realiz'
ing something from this asset, as wei
as a method Of raising money for the
purpose Of not only conserving the
fish and game Of the state, but Of in
forcing the laws with respect to insec
,iverous birds.
1--WE therefore call upon such Dem
ocrats as are elected to the next leg
islature to pass a law providing fol
a hunters license, the protection o.
insectivorous birds and the inforce'
ment Of the laws with respect to fish
and game"
