they had bridged this difficulty by
providing that no license be exacted
where the fisherman was in his home
county, but that he should pay when
he went beyond his county. Even this
proved insurmountable, because many
counties were bounded by rivers often
more or less crooked and these rivers
afforded good fishing and the fisher
man might not know exactly in which
county he was fishing, and in addition
to this = was figured that there was

power over street car lines, 'out now
under the control Of the state rail-
road commission.
: An amendment was attached to the
bill, preventing the commission from

CRISIS PASSES
SAYS HARDING
NO APPREHENSION NOW AS TO
FUTURE
Federal Reserve Board Finds Its
Banks Showing Strength
in All Regions
The State

The State
Spartanburg, Feb. 1S.-"The fed
eral reserve board no longer looks
with apprehension on the financial
conditions in this country because
the crisis has been passed and the
condition of the federal reserve banks
shows strength in all regions" said
Gov. w. P. G. Harding, of the federal
reserve board, speaking before the
annual dinner of the Spartanburg
chamber of commerce here tonight.
"The thing needed now is a bolder
front, horse sense; and spread of
the conservative optimism that is
found over the country" His posi-
ton was that the federal reserve
board did not restrict credits
and bring on the slump in prices but
absorbed that shock when the breaks
came, through natural reaction from
conditions of imitation following the
end of the war. There will always be
good times and bad times, he said,
and we still have our problems in
taxation and foreign trade relations,
but they will be worked out. There
are just two places where the sun
is always shining-Death Valley, CAL,
and the Desert of Sahara, he said.
In connection with the charge that
the federal reserve board has with
held loans from agricultural inter-
ests he said the board has recently
answered the question from con-
gressional committee showing that ag
ricultural loans in 1919 were S721,-
900, 900 while in 1920 they were ST.
e80,0OO,0OO. The governor said the
farmers of the country should dis
pose of their products in an orderly
fashion and follow some orderly plan
of production in the year ahead.
