As no PRIVATE FISH PONDS.

temptation of the law. but the wa

the law to fish in any matter other
than as Is allowed by the statutes reg

The opinion is of interest, as there
are many privately owned ponds in
the State. The owners and others

l. The opinion was i'm answer to q let
ter from Col. A. A. Richardson, of
Columbia. chief game warden, who
wanted to know what Constitutes a
private pond or lake under Section
755, Criminal Code of 1912" The let
ter states that the chief game warden
has several cases pending in Claren-
don county and the results depend on
whether the body of water is pri-
vate or not. The pond in question
Is formed by the damming up of a
running stream, the backed up wa
ter being on private land.
The attorney general quotes the
code, which gives authority to the
general assembly to make such laws
and regulations governing fishing in
the public waters of the State as II
may see MT. The attorney general
quotes 40 Cyc. page 634, as follows:
"A lake is an inland body Of water
of considerable size, occupying a nat
ural basin or depression in the earth's
surface below the ordinary drainage

IMMENSE FIELD OF OATS.
Harvester Gathering $50 Acres In One
Field.

Camden Chronicle.
What ~ thought to be the finest
field of oats in Kershaw county is
being harvested this week on the
plantation of Mr.. Henry Savage, just
across the Wateree river. In one
field there was vast seat of oats
all told ESQ acres-and nearly as far
as the eye could see there was
nothing but oats. A large force of
hands was busy shocking and haul
ing this harvest.
This oat field directs attention to
the exceptional amount of grain that
Is being raised in the county this
spring. There was probably more
wheat and grain generally sown in
Kershaw county this spring than ever
before and the same Is true Of many
other counties. south Carolina will
doubtless raise several times as
much grain this year than last wear
or any previous year for that matter.
Besides the ESQ acres in oats Mr..
Savage has planted 40 acres in wheat
2 acres in rye and numbers of acres
In corn and alfalfa. against only so
acres in cotton.
This might well be termed a model
farm, as 1t is entirely self sustaining
and the proprietor does not have to
depend upon cotton for a money crop.
Nine large barns-all numbered-are
located in different parts of the farm.
in close proximity to the crops to be
harvested, I'm order to save long hauls.
Every years they are filled and from
these BARN Mr.. Savage each year has
foodstuffs for sale on the local market
and much stuff to he shipped away.
After the harvesting of the immense
crop OF oats and wheat he Will plant
this land in corn, peas and peanuts
which Will be ready for harvesting in
the fall.
Having large up land and low land
pasture upon which to Craze his cat
tie he has an immense herd of Aber-
deen Angus cattle. A large silo helps
feed this herd i'm winter.
Mr. Savage does not believe i'm stick
Ing to one crop alone but believes in
diversiiication. He came here sveraI
years ago from the New England
Htates' lie is putting some of the
Yankee thrift into this farm and IT'S
telling. Kershaw county and the State
at large would be better off If more
farmers would follow Mr.. Sov.ca,s
method of farming.

News and Views of Pisgah,

Pisgah. June ia light rain fell
here yesterday, which was needed.
For the last ten days fine progress has
been made In cleaning the crops of
grass. Most of them are in good
shape.
Wheat and oats have been gather
ed. Oats are lighter than In years.
Wheat is short by excessive rains.
The government report that cotton
was 80 per cent OF a perfect crop Is
as true as the Allies report Of the
war.
lt Is national loss that Bryan Is
out of the Wilson cabinet. He is
known worldwide as a man Of peace
and nations know that he would not
rashly go into a fight until all peace
ful efforts failed. His position I'm the
German dispute is sound and no
doubt the great mass of the American
people will say so.
1t is a pity that people who wor-
ship at England's feet would
see. or they CAM her faults. Her
position in the war Of 1912 should
convince all people of her methods of
war with 1000 to 40 sail she reach
ed the American vessels for sailors,
handcuffed and dragged them off, to
her ships with the threat. IF you
don't like 1t, will sink YOU" Perry
taught her q lesson about that time
that she did not forget.
Liverpool fixing the price of Ameri-
can cotton Is enough to make a dog
vomit, and we submit with not
enough of manhood to control our
own product. McLaurin is doing
what he can and little nest is trying
to destroy him, by parylizing his ef-
forts. Wait until next year and see
something.
Miss Martha Montgomery, who

naval officer lover. she accepted her
fate like a true Oriental. Simply
and with fatalistic lack OF hesita-

The audiences at the Manhattan

seemed so true to our Western ideal

Here appeared the results OF Tamaki
