w. w. Hames of JonesMIIe Ap-
pointed Game Warden for
Union Counfy-OutIiHe of
Hunters License Law
in This State.

Mr.. w. w. Hames of Jonesville has
been appointed by Governor Manning
to the position of game warden for
Union county, and has begun the du-
ties of the office. Many do not know
the present law on the subject, and
may get into trouble if they neglect
to inform themselves.
AT the 1916 session of the legisla-
ture this county was included under
the provisions of the Resident Hunt
ers License Law. This law requires
all hunters to procure a license in
order to hunt. The cost of resident
hunting licenses is S1.OO for the coun-
ty license, which entities the holder
to hunt in accordance with the laws
anywhere within the county, but is not
good for hunting outside of this coun
ty. State licenses cost $500 and are
good for hunting in this county or
any other county in South Carolina.
The law further provides that land
lords, tenants and their children are
not required to have license while
hunting upon their own freeholds or
leaseholds and landlords NAV give
written permission to resident of his
county to hunt upon his land, in which
event the written permission is a
substitute for the county license: the
said written permission must be car
rled by the hunter and exhibited to
the game warden or any officer upon
demand. This written permission can
not be given to anyone residing out
side of this county. The holder of a
license is not required to have any
written permit from the land owner
and is at liberty to hunt upon any
land where there is no objection from
the land owner. The license, how
ever, does not give the holder the
right to trespass in any manner.
These licenses can be obtained from
any magistrate or clerk of court or

PLAN TO ARBITRATE
MEXICAN SITUATION
Washington Considering Proposal Let Commission Arbfrafe
Differences Serve as an Answer-Treaty of 1913
Provides Expressly for Settlement of
Disputes By Commission.

Washington, June IA proposal to
Gen. Carranza that the United States
and the Mexican de facto government
submit the whole subject of their re-
lations to an international commission
is being seriously considered by the
administration.
Such a proposal, it is said, will
serve as a reply to the Mexican note
demanding withdrawal of the Aneri-
can troops, and may contemplate sd
justment of many unsettled differ
ences that for years have caused ac-
cumulating embarrassment in the re-
lations of the two countries. Settle
ment by commission is provided for
expressly by the treaty of 1848.
Pesident Wilson and Gen. Carranza
would appoint an equal number of
commissioners under the plan, and the
meeting probably would be held some
where outside the territory of both
countries. There was no indication to-
night that the President, with whom
rests the final decision on the propo-
sal, had yet reached decision.
Just what scope would be given the
commissioners had not been worked
out. Many officials believe such dis
cussion would do much to solve the
difficulties. In addition to military
questions there are far-reaching eco

Boundary Questions.


Boundary Questions.
Coming down from by-gone years
are unsettled questions as to certain
portions of the international boundary.
Out of the Vera Cruz incident arose
new problems, which must be cleared
up sooner or later, including DISPOSE
tion of the customs revenues collect
ed by Gen. Funston, amounting to
more than $1,OOO,0OO, and now de-
posted in this country. There are also
claims for property damage at Vera
Cruz, long pigeon-holed in the navy
department.
Most far-reaching of all, however, is
the question of indemnifcation for
American lives lost and American
property destroyed or damaged during
the years of revolution in Mexico. No
attempt ever has been made to set
an estimate upon the amount involved
in these claims; but all are recorded
at the State department awaiting
restoration of order and peace in
Mexico for day of settlement.
While the commission suggestion
may not propose to go into broad
discussion of all these matters, it
seems likely that each will have it's
bearing upon the deliberations.

The convention today having gone
over until p. m. tomorrow they plan
to occupy the entire afternoon ses-
