PARTRIDGE SEASON OPENS
Season for Bob Whites and Wild
Turkeys Begins Today.

Real hunting in South Carolina was
ushered in this morning when the
open season for partridges or Bob
Whites and wild turkeys begins. Many
rusty guns will have been oiled and
put in readiness for the sport and
many a dog that has been resting
for several months will again be found
in action today.
According to sportmen from many
sections of the state, the birds are
more plentiful this year than in re-
cent seasons. Other game is also
said to be in abundance, especially
duck. The season for partridge hunt.
ing runs from Thanksgiving day until
after March 1 as does the wild turkey
season. The bag limit is Is partridges
and two turkeys a day.

Mr.. L. C. Madison and family left
Kingstree Saturday for Peoria, Illinois
where they will make their home in
future, Mr.. Madison having some
time ago accepted a position there as
manager of the American Poland
China breeders association. Mr..
Madison came to Williamsburg about
one year ago as County Agent which
position he filled quite acceptably.
He took great interest in his work
here and his departure at this time,
we feel, is distinct loss to Williams
burg county. They are making the
trip to Illinois in a Ford car. The
Record wishes Mr.. Madison much sue
cess in his new field, and his family
unalloyed happiness in their new
home. A

LAURENS FIGHTING WEEVIL
Farmers Planting Large Acreage in
Small Grain and Clover.

Laurens county farmers have been
conducting a campaign against the
boil weevil during the past several
weeks, which will result effectively in
1922. Meetings have been held in
school houses all over the county at
which there were discussions concern
ing the necessity of plowing under
stalks and sowing winter cover crops
as effective steps in fighting the boil
weevil. A number of articles to the
same effect were published in the
newspapers of the county to aid in the
campaign.
In addition to the campaign led by
Mr.. Trevathan, good results have
come from the assistance of Mayor
Franks of L&urens, who has been SELL
ing seed wheat at cost and has offer
ed a prize of $25.00 for the highest
yield of wheat in the county, his pur-
pose being to encourage the growing
of wheat for home consumption.
The farmers have responded to the
campaign in a most satisfactory way,
according to reports from the county
agent. More cotton stalks are being
plowed under than has been the Gus
tom, and the amount Of rye, oats,
clover, and vetch seed sold in the
county for sowing is fully double the
normal sales in past seasons.
In the matter Of planting wheat,
the results has been very striking.
Over 5000 bushels Of wheat will be
planted in the county this fall, which
is an increase of 1000 percent over
the usual amount Of wheat planted.
These figures show that the Laurens
farmers are preparing to attack the
boil weevil in a very vital spot and
at an opportune time.
Various other counties are carry
ing ON campaigns in the same big
fight.

POSTOFFICES TO ASSIST
May Be Used as Agency for Locat-
ing Loved Ones.

Never before in the history of the
Postoffce Department has an attempt
been made to assist in the location
of persons who have become lost
from their relatives and friends. AS
another step in bringing the postof-
flee nearer to the people and make
it a little more human, Postmaster
General Hays is publishing the fol-
lowing notice in the Postal Bulletin:
To all postmasters: 1t issmy wish
that the machinery of the postal serv-
ice be placed at the disposed of those
searching for loved ones who have
dropped from sight. Every year
thousands in this country are report
ed missing-children, young men,
young women, husbands and wives,
some never to be heard Of again by
their distressed families and friends.
The Postoffice Department, with its
organized facilities reaching into
every corner of the land, may be Of
practical service to the distressed.
Therefore, they are willingly offered
for this purpose. There is no inten-
ton Of interference with private af-
fairs or to act as collecting agency.
Postmasters will scrutinize and inves-
tigate carefully each case reported
to them and, when convinced Of its
genuineness, will make such inquiries
of other postmasters as the circum-
stances may warrant, and advise the
interested relative or friend.
Will q. Hays,
Postmaster General.

AGREEMENT SEEMS
NEAR ON NAVIES
RELUCTANT TO DISCUSS DE-
TAILS RELATING TO FAR EAST
ERN QUESTION.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Opinions
have been exchanged among the arms
delegations with such an hnprecedent-
ed directness that some of the ex-.
perienced diplomatists here believe
they can see what it will be possible
to accomplish. With the heads Of the
American, British and japanese dele
cations working in a personal confer
ence on the naval reduction plan, the
indications are that agreement is
near on all except the details. Simi-
larly readiness Of all nations to COM
NIT themselves to general principles
relating to the far east, and the out
spoken objection of Japan to discuss
ing details, seem to have crystalized
the conviction that a set Of principles
like the big four agreed upon yester-
day will be adopted. Indications point
to an understanding rather than a
treaty as form Of final far eastern
agreement.

Who Will He Be?

Lexington Dispatch News: Every
few days we hear of a new name be-
ing suggested as a candidate for
governor. By the time the entries
are closed, however, the crop will
doubtless have suffered somewhat
from the blight of Indifference, and
many champions will doubtless have
a poor opinion Of the patriotism Of
their friends. There is a big op-
portunity for a really big man as
governor, both in the matter of gen.
uine tax reform and in drawing the
people nearer together and aiding
them to bridge the hard times which
are apparently staring them in the
face. But-win we be able to get
the big man to run, and will we have
a chance to be elected If he run.
It remains to be seem"

Congressman ,stoll at Georgetown.

SOnSIesSmou 'Osoh a. 0SoASOso"A"
On "wednesday of last week Con-
gressnan q, Stoll of this place
went over to Georgetown for the pur-
pose of conferring with the River and
Harbsr Committee Of the Georgetown
Chamber Of Commerce relative to the
construction Of canal and other har-
Dor improvements. The special OBJ
ject of the meeting, says the George
town Times, twas to personally ac-
quaint Congressman Stoll with the
necessities Of our harbor, and the
construction Of a canal connecting
the North Santee and South Santee
rivers, which would shorten the dis
tance between these two rivers over
the present tortuous route some ten
or twelve miles.
"Maps and charts were produced
and tie matter of the absolute nee
essity for a canal connecting the two
Santees was thoroughly gone into.
It not only means great deal to the
numerous yachts passing up and down
the coast, but it was the concensus
of opinion of those present that the
opening up of such canal would not
only shorten the distance between Nc
Clellanville and Georgetown, but also
be the means of developing consider
able commerce between these two
places. The opinion prevailed that
the four mile creek would be the logi-
cal stream to develop. It was sug-
gested that Congressman Stoll see
the chief of engineers upon his re-
turn to Washington, and endeayor to
have him order q survey of the pro-
posed canal at once.
"The matter of the shoaling of the
Western Channel through Winyah
Bay was also brought up, and Con-
gresham Stoll was requested to OBJ
tain the necessary appropriation for
dredging the channel to the depth Of
1S feet at low water, as provided for
in present project. It was shown that
the present commerce is increasing
rapidly; and a large class of vessels
visiting our port, hence the port Of
Georgetown will have to have increas-
ed harbor facilities and depth Of wa
ter in its harbor.
Congressman Stoll was much i'm
pressed with arguments presented and
promised to do his best for the harbor
and water ways Of Georgetown"

BONDS ARE SOLD

THE PAVING OF KINGSTREES
STREETS TO START WITHOUT
FURTHER DELAY.

Thanks to the foresigh and splen-
did business sagacity of several of
Kingstree's business men-the long
deferred street paving proposition
was this week bought to head
through the actual sale of the bonds
which were voted by the citizens of
Kingstree early in the spring of the
present year. No further "options"
will be given anyone to consider their
purchase or rejection on the face of
their desirability as an investment.
The bonds were sold Saturday, prac-
ticalfy, and the deal has been clinch-
&C by the payment of the price, which,
we are glad to learn is above par.
The money for these bonds is already
in the three Kingstree banks. It was
paid to the towns attorney, Mr.. Le-
Roy Lee this week and equally dis
bursed by him to the local banks.
The purchaser of the bonds, as well
as the names Of the Several citizens"
who put the deal across is not divulged
for personal reasons, but they are
due the highest praises Of the citi-
zens Of the town.
The contracting company who is
authorized to start the paving opera
tions at once is the Adams, Evans
Construction Company of Jackson
Vile, Fla. A number of the officials
Of the company were in Kingstree
this week.
The money. amounting to 100000
which was put up in the form Of a
certified check by tentative pur-
chaser as a guarantee of good faith
was forfeited by Jacksonville firm
who has held back the progress OF
this work, to some extent, the past
three months. This money has be-
Icome a part of the towns funds.
The contractors have lot Of their
machinery on the ground here and
will start work on the streets, we are
informed, at once

LETTER FROM MISS PLOWDEN
Written on Board Steamship Enroute
To China.

As we are reaching Japan tomor-
row, am having this ready to mail
back to you from Yokohama. We
sailed from Seattle on the 27 of Au-
gust and will reach japan on the 3
of September. That is not so bad,
is it? Then we skipped one day on
crossing the 1s0 meridian. We will
be in Yokohama 80 hours, then in
Kobe, Japan for a day or two, then
to Shanghai. We have had delight
full voyage across-such q lovely
group of people-there are 63 Bap-
lists, all of whom I knew, except two
couples-11 Presbyterian missionaries
and one or two Methodist and G. w.
C. A. workers. There are only 20
or 80 business men in the remainder
Of the passengers.
There is big Chinese from Balti-
more on board, he has just given
100000 for Chinese (Presbyterian)
mission school land is going on to see
some of the work being done.
On about the fifth day out, we
passed a steamer that left Seattle rs
hours before we did. We will get
into port about 25 hours before it
does. We are on a very fast steam
er owned by the q. S. A., built as
part of Merchant Marine, during the
war, and leased out now as passen-
ger vessel. It is claimed to be un-
sinkable, and although we know the
good to know that it is Uncle Sans
best. We followed a route that car
ried us just south Of Alaska as far
as $50 north. It certainly was cold.
am and shall always be thanking
Miss Mabel Harper for suggesting
that I put in my winter coat, I have
worn it until today. We are getting
back to August weather.
We have seen a number Of whales,
usually one at a time, but yesterday
we passed a whole school OF them
some distance away. There were as
many as ten spouting in the water
and all of them spouting water at
one time.
Now you will want to know if /
have been sea-sick, well we had two
bad days, real stormy, and l was i'll.
/ was not afraid I would die, and l
was not afraid I would not, and GER
tainly did not care which.
I am wanting to be two people this
year, the Shanghai people really need
me there, and the Soochow people
want me to go on there, for fear
that if I stop in Shanghai, I will be
so interested in the work there, thai
would not give it up at the end Of
the year. Life would be much more
lively in Shanghai than Soochow. /
don't think it would be any more use
full after the first year.
Will write as soon as l reach
Shanghai.
