This undertaking when completed
will afford ample sport for all, ricl
and poor alike.

as the rich, and make a meal that is
worth having
We wish to call the attention of
the Association to Clendaniels Mill
Pond, about two and a half miles
north of Glendale, the farm of
which is a part bordering on the du
Pont Boulevard.
A few years ago this pond was
full of bass and other fish and many
spOrtsmen from Wilmington and
other parts of the State use to visit
this lake and have great sport in
catching the bass and pickerel
which at that time this pond
abounded.
The late Dr. J. A. EllegoOd and
friends of Wilmington often visited
this pond and he told the writer
that he often had great luck in
landing large bass, which seemed
plentiful
The writer several years ago tried
to stock this pond with bass. The
late DR.. Shortlidge of Wilmington
sent several cans of fish here which
we emptied into the pond, and at
other times the writer received from
the Government Hatchery through
the courtesy of the late DR.. Hiram
R. Burton, who was serving in Con-
gress at the time, many cans of
these bass which we turned loose |
into the pond and in a few years !
the pond was well stocked with bass |!
and all who were expert in welding |
the rod and line had great sport.
This pond has nearly run dry, but |
with slight repairs to the dam, it
could again be made a wonderful
place for all fresh water fish.
Those who have seen this body of
water when it was at its best, and
stocked with bass, have remarked
that it was one of the best ponds in !
the State for propagation of fresh
water fish of all kinds.
We invite the attention of the
Game Association to this pond and
ask that they give it due consider
alton and we have no doubt that
this body of water will soon again
be stocked with fish as heretofore.
The Clendaniel Mill Pond and the
quaint old farm house, bordering on
ID, has always seem to the writer to
be an up to date place where
portsmen looking for a point to en-
hoy themselves could not find more
desirable place within the State
Stock the pond with fish and have
boats and fishing tackle ready at all
times-the owner could put several
dollars in his pocket during the
summer season.
Big Time Al Slaughter Beach
Tuesday and Wednesday of last !
week witnessed a scene at Slaugh- 5
ter Beach which beggars descrip- |
tion.
People had gathered at this old
resort from all parts of the country '
nearby and were having the time OF '
their lives watching the coast l
guards dredging for a boat load OF '
liquor which had been thrown over .
board by a rum runner the night
before, which was in trouble by be- S
ing fast on the bar and not being g
able to eXtricate itself until the c
cargo had been heaved overheard.
1t was amusing to watch the an II
tics of some of the parties gather v
ed at the beach in their endeaVOrs II
10 purloin some of the liquor with u
1ut the Coast Guards seeing them. D
they waded long and deep but their "
success was not very great )
1t is said men wanted to go clam
ming who never before thought of ly
loing such a thing, and besides the a
ide was not right for catching that p
lass of bivalves. The coast guards T
we're watching and those who were fl
ober enough prevented the men al
rom getting any of the rum in that M
way. Some has said there were Il
more people on Slaughter Beach on pt
Wednesday of last week than have hi
leen seen there on some of the Big d(
thursdays which have been held &C
here
Why were they gathered there?- H
oor and rich mingled together, all ri
eemed anxious to gather in some of
he liquor which the coast guards m
VerlOOked. al
Some of the scenes enacted at the d,
each during the time the liquor
Tas there were disgraceful. Drunk MI
n coast guards and drunken men Gt
'ere engaged in fighting each other mi
nd one of the guards was SO Sc re
erely beaten as to require the SER tn
ices of a physician to repair his OBJ
ur
And this is the class of men which on
le Government hires as coast tn,
yards to enforce the 18th Amend cet
ent! tn;
1t is no wonder that people are lai
citing disgusted and they will con-
nue. so until a better means is PEE
und to enforce the 18th Amend by
ent than is now being tried. lol
The several congressional cleo
Ons recently held shows the drift frC
public opinion in regard to pres he
It modes of enforcing all liquor in
ws on the statute books. 1t is a ye;
lestion, can you make people good

The only means that will be eff cal
ctive and lasting is to educate the me
ople to do without the stuff fri'
