reports, gathered by telephone and

slight hint, however. that in event Mr..
Palmer decided to throw the weight
of the Government into the con-
troversy. it would not be by the in

use Of the criminal indictment to

New York-Passenger service on
railroads affected by the unauthorized
strike Of yardmen and switchmen

moralized here. Freight service was
virtually at standstill except for an
irregular movement of perishable
commodities.
A call went out from railroad Offices
here for volunteers to man freight
trains carrying foodstuffs to the city.
It was the opinion in railroad circles
that with recruits from divisions OF
the lines not hampered by the strike
and with pensioners, clerks and other
terminal employees pressed into serv.
ice for the emergency food trains could
be kept moving in sufficient volume to
forestall a food famine here.

interest to our readers, reproduce it

Kingstree Record, Kingstree, S. c.,
Gentlemen: Your people are very
much agitated over the question of a
special regulation as to the closed
season for fishing in Williamsburg
County in the months of June and
July. Therefore, l am enclosing you
copy of my letter of this date to the
Game Warden in charge of your coun-
ty. If you consider the matter as Of
sufficient local interest you may give
the letter such publication as you see
fit.
June Z, 1920.
"Mr. Albert R. Mosely, Game Warden,
Salter's Depot, S. C.-Dear Mr.. Nose
ly: Your favor of the 3rd received
on my return to Columbia. The pro-
vision as closed season in Williams
burg County is an act amendatory to
Sec. 755 of the General Statutes. The
opinion of Attorney General Peoples
was that in the County of Williams
burg the fines for violation of this law
should be turned in to the County
treasury as ordinary County funds.
Therefore, the County would have to
settle with you or your Magistrate
would have to pay you your half Of
the fines on cases you bring for vio-
lation of this law there and the bal
ance of the money would 60 into the
County treasury. Since this law
amended Statewide law or one pur-
porting to regulate fishing all over the
State and simply made its provisions
stricter in your particular county I
doubt very much whether the Supreme
court would hold this act to be uncon-
stitutional. I cannot help feeling how
ever, that there is some doubt on the
subject, since Sec. 755 itself exempted
certain counties in the State from the
provision as to selling fish. Not be-
ing lawyer / can only give you and

Boil Weevil in the State.

To the Farmers of South Carolina:
The boil weevil has made his ap-
pearance in the southern part Of the
State. They are now attacking young
cotton. They attack the bud Of the
plant, sucking it until it turns yellow
and dies. You will find these small
spots scattered over the field. Exam
inc your cotton and if you find the
weevil, now is your time to get in
your work before they can multiply.
Pick them off and burn them, there
are only a few now, but they will be
millions after a while, if you don't
destroy them now. Do this now, and
when your cotton commences to take
on fruit be sure to pick up the stung
forms on a specified day every week
and burn them.
Remember, your cotton should be
plowed thoroughly every week, and
the stung forms picked up and burn
ed, every week. Commence now,
pick them off in your young cotton,
there are not many. Pick up your
forms, they will not be many (if you
start the fight now) and you can
make a crop of cotton, but if you
won't do this, then, if you have the
weevils, you had better plow your
cotton up and plant corn in its place
while you have time, for you won't
make any cotton.
Yours very truly,
R. M. MIXSON,.
President.
