Alfred A. Richardson, chief game
warden said a few days ago:
"P. III. Grumblc. game warden
from Clarendon county, has been in
" see ne relative to some dynamite
cases in his county. According to
Mr.. Grumblc's statement. three ne
groeS named Dickson and another
negro named Tom Brown went to
Nuado lake. near Davis Station, No.
Vcmbcr | and were dynamiting the
lake for the purpose Of taking fish.
1t seems that one Of the negroes
rraZicr Dickson, was handling the
dynamite and either cut his fuse too
snort or the fuse was defective. AT
any rate the dynamite exploded pre-
matnrely, killing Frazier. None of
me other negroes was injured. Game
warden Grumblc immediately got on
the job, with the result that Tom
Brown and the other two Dicksons
nave been placed in Jail, charged
WIN clolating section 757 Of the
criminal code Of 1912, which section
imposes pcntalty OF $500 for dyna
hitting any OF the streams. lakes or
waters Of the state for the purDosc
Of taking fish
This is the second case of dynamit-
ing that has come to my notice re.

TO get conviction. as the only wit
ness we had was negro and his tes
tlmony was not considered by the
court to- be sufficient.
These dynamite cases are the
hardest that | have to contend with.
The crime is always committed i'm a
lonely spot and the violators use
every prccaution toward secrecy. II
seems from Mr.. Grumblc's statement
mat he has absolute proof on the
Clarendon county negroes, and al.
though 1T is to be regretted that one
or the party was killed, nevertheless
an example should be made of tho
others. A few examples throughout
the state Will go long way toward
breaking up this dynamiting business

self would not be so disastrous, but
that same cxplosition kills hundreds
or smaller fish and many instances
destroys millions OF eggs
After considering the gravity Of
the matter | have decided, as CHIEF
game warden, to make the following

will furnish evidence sufficient to

THE wives of clerks living on ex-
trernely small salaries seek to ape the
rich not only in their dress and food
but even in their expensive habits.
They live way. beyond their means,
and make no attempt to save tor a

In countries abroad, especially in
England, there is no such attempt to
keep up to the procession. A woman
whose husband only earns a small
