Governor Has Appointed Wade II.
GiDbcS to Succeed Richardson.

On Monday of last week Governor
Manning appointed Wade Hampton
Gibbes, OF Columbia. chief game
warden, vice A. A. Richardson. whose
four years in the Office expired on
that day, according to the view Of the
Governor. Mr.. Gibbes at once filed
his bond and made ready to assume
the duties OF the Office.
Mr. Gibbes was at one time audi
tor of Richland county and for four
years was mayor of Columbia. Re-
Gently he has been in the employ Of
the Federal government as Indian
agent, but gave this up on the first
OF the year and returned to business
in Columbia.
The Audubon Society. of which
DR.. p. c. L. Adams, Of Columbia, is
president, recommended Col. Rich
ardson for reappointment as chief
game warden, but the Governor de-
clined the recommendation. The
Audubon Society stood by Col. Rich
ardson.
Under the present law the Cover
nor appoints the game warden on the
Of the Audubon So
ciety, but the Governor holds that
they must present a name which is
agreeable to the Governor and the
Senate, and when they refused to
send In another than Col, Richard

out any recommendation and named
Mr.. Gibbes.
The bill which passed the Legisla-
ture. putting the election of game
warden in the hands Of the people
and retaining Mr. Richardson in Of

Governor Manning, and the Senate

IL THE BOY SCOUTS. y.
!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. j. .i i. j. j. !.

Editor Keowee Courier: Perhaps
some OF our people do not know that
Walhalla has a troop OF Boy Scouts.
Nevertheless we have a fairly good
troop. Our scoutmaster Is Chas. +.
Hctrick; assistants, Geo. Seaborn,
JAS. II. Darby and }. l.. Parker We
received our charter on April goth,
1916.
The Boy Scout organization is q
movement the purpose of which Is
character-building in boys, who may
become Scouts after the age of 70.
1t Is an effort to get boys to appreci-
ate the things about them. and to
train them in self-reliance, man
hood and good citizenship. All ex-
pcnscs. including equipment, should
be provided by the boys own thrift.
II IS peace-scouting these boys en-
gage In. living as much as possible
out OF doors. camping, hiking and
learning the secrets Of nature.
The movement Is not military, but
the virtues or loyalty, obedience. pa
triotism and chivalry are instilled
into the lives of the boys. Endur-
ancc, self-reliance, self-c0ntrol and
an effort to help somebody else are
the objects sought by all Scouts.
Scouting aims to utilize the boys
surplus energy and to direct it to-
ward doing good rather than allow
ing it to drift along the easier chan
ne! OF mischief, and aims to give the
boy more pleasure in doing good than
he could get by doing otherwise.
The motto Of the Boy Scouts is,
"bE PREPARED" which means that
the Scout is always in a state OF
readiness in mind and body to do his
duty and meet any emergency.
We welcome all boys over twelve
years old into our troop, If they
mean business. There is more in
scouting than hiking and camping.
We hope every citizen will do all
within his power to keep the troop
''0n the BOOM.

Getting Down to Cases

The New York hotelkeepers have shown
sense and knowledge of human nature in
devising their rules for saving food Their
plan is the first really practical and work
able scheme for cutting down the consump-
ton of restricted foods that we have seen.
We hope Mr.. Hoover will second their eff
forts and follow their example by estab-
fishing a similar code for private kitchens.
The business of printing placards pre-
senting general advice and directions may
Law foundation and turn peoples minds
in the right direction. 1t is good eXhorta-
ton, but it will unbutter very few parsnips.
Specific, uniform rules make the only sure
appeal to human nature. The hotel sched-
ule is constructed on this exact theory.
Instead of general principles, indefinitely
applied, the plan lays down definite, con-
crete savings which all kitchens are urged
to make.
A meatless or, at any rate, beefiess
day is one of the proposals. That does
not mean any day that you choose. but
specific day, other than Friday, upon which
all hotels will refrain from serving the
prohibited food. There is no earthly rea-
son why the whole country should not
adopt this day and live up to its require
ments. If every one were expected to obey
such rule, community sentiment would
see to its enforcement to the last din
ner table.
There has been a wealth of dissertation
and advice. The time has come for getting
down to cases and embodying our food pro-
pramme in the most definite, specific code
Of rules that ingenuity can devise.
