MANY APPLICATIONS FOR
AUTO LICENSES MADE


Columbia, Dec. ga good many
,autoists of the state have already
made application for new license
plates, despite the fact that the state
highway department is receiving the
new plates, for 1922, very slowly.
The makers of the plates for 1922
have fallen down in the matter of
delivery, according to L. H.. Thomas,
secretary of the department. AS yet,
Mr.. Thomas says, only few plates
have been received, though January
1 is the time for delivering the new
licenses. The new plates, however,
are expected this week, and Mr..
Thomas says he hopes the depart
ment will be in position to deliver
the plates on time during the coming
month. ...,..
All automobile owners are re-
!. -lired to take out new license plates
ing the month of January. Own
we until the end of January to
get the licenses. ~.-

Dublin, Dec. 27.-In 1920 the av-
erage rate of deaths per thousand in
Ireland was the lowest on record, de-
spite the fact that guerrilla was was
raging from Cork in the South to
|Antrim in the North. The total num-
Der recorded was 66,538, or 14.8 per
1000 of the population. OF these
1851 were due to violence, 1882
were killed in combat between the
Crown forces and the Irish Repubi-

INTERESTED IN GOVERNMENT
To Burden is Very Heavy-Want .
Bad Check Law With Teeth in
" it Says Wannamaker.

Columbia, Dec. 29.-The. South
Carolina Retail Merchants Associa'
tion will, through its legislative com.
mittee, take an active interest in
several important matters to be
considered by the general assembly
at it's session which starts January 10
according to statement today By L.
H. Wannamaker, Jr., secretary of the
association. =
The tax situation will be the chief
matter before the merchants, in the
way of legislation, and the second
most important measure will be a
proposed new law against the issue
of bad checks.
-"The tax burden which the mer-
chants have been compelled to carry
has been heavy and is out of proper
tion to that imposed upon other
classes of property" according to
the statement BY Mr.. Wannamaker.
The merchants will contend for
equitable treatment, this being the
chief objective. We believe the legis-
lators can be shown that the mer-
chants are being Disseminated
against, and we believe appropriate
action to remedy the situation will
be forthcoming"
Regarding the proposed bad check
law, Mr. Wannamaker states that
reports indicate that the merchants
of the state have been the victims of
bad checks in larger numbers this
past fall than ever before in q like
period. The general opinion, Mr..
Wannamaker states, is that the pre-
sent law is inadequate and that more
drastlc actlon Is necessary to deter
people from, issuing checks which are
not backed up with money, for OBJ
tanning money or goods, or credit.
arrangements have already been
made, ,"1Mr. Wannamaker states, 'for
the introduction in the house and
senate Of bills providing for string
emit handling Of persons issuing; false
checks. The proposed law will be
copied after new law enacted by
the legislature of Alabama recently.
Sol Kohn, of Columbia, is chairman
of the Legislative committee of the

Game Wardens Strict in Law En-
forceennt.

&c.. forceemnt.
The following statement from
Chief Game Warden Richardso,
will no doubt be of interest, especial
ly so to. those who hunt. ....
The State Game Department ha'
already this season convicted 46f
people for violating the game ant
fish laws. A large percentage o1
these convictions grew out of cases
where peopleAttempted to hunt with
out hunting licenses, especially dur
ing the holidays. Each and every
county game warden has been order.
ed to be on the alert and to thorough
ly over his county during the holi.
days and to demand of every hunter
to show that he has the proper kind
of license. Also, good many spe-
cial deputies are covering different
sections of the State with positive
instructions to see that every per-
son hunting has the proper kind of
license and that the game and fish
laws are obeyed.
In order that those who wish to
hunt may understand exactly what
is necessary for them to have in the
way of licenses, he states that:
"All non-residents of South Caro-
lima, regardless of whether they own
land in this state or not, are re-
quired to procure what is known as
a nonresident hunting license, the
cost of which is $15.25. A non-resi-
dent holding such license is entitled
to hunt in any county in the state,
A bona fide resident Of any coun-
ty wishing to hunt in the county in
which he lives, is required to procure
what is known as county hunting
license, the cost of which is $1.10.
A county hunting license is only sale
able to a resident of the county, and
a resident Of one county cannot go
into another county and buy a coun-
ty license, a.. IL 4
"A bona fide resident of South Car
olina wishing to hunt outside Of the
county. in which he lives is required
to procure what is known as state
hunting license, the cost of which is
$3.10. A state hunting license en-
titles the holder thereof to hunt in
any county in the state.
Licenses can be obtained from the
County Game Wardens, or any of
their agents, said agents being To-
Gated in practically every town in
each county. a. - a.a
The penalty for violation of the
resident license law is $500, and
the penalty for violation of the nom
resident Slicenset law could be, as
much as s500.O0. .,...'
All persons who expect to do any
hunting are warned that it will be
well for them to procure the proper
kind of license. y, fg... !.
