have," said Wayne Brigman.
'Ail quail and rlngneck pheas
ants on hand are young birds
since none were left from last
season.
"Now I did have 100 quail and
10 pheasants at the end of last
season but this fella wanted them
all dressed and frosen, so I fixed
them up for him." said Brigman,

yet and I need my freezer space."
In past yean Brigman 'has had
on hand approximately 10,000
quail uo 1,000 pheasants annual
ly for hunters, but epiralmg costs
have forced the number down.
"Well have enough birds on
hand 'finis year, but the main thing
I want Is to stay open even though
in preceding years we have lost
some money," said Brigman. "By
keeping our feeding costs down
we can continue to charge the
same $16 per hunt which we start
ed out with years ago, even though
my cost to operate has since near
ly doubled."
'Ask the reasons for operating
even though no profits were be

this type tiling, being outdoors,
working with wildlife and all that
goes with It but mainly I like peo

large number of hunters in agree

increase in hunters along with ai
gradual decrease in available hunt
ing sites, the theory of put-and-

of course, enjoys the fellowship
with many sportsmen who have
since become his friends.

most before the Ink was , dry on
the announcement of the commit
tee the Democrats with Senator
Hargrove Bowles in one corner
and .Executive Secretary Chuck

like two prize fighters who could
n't wait for the bell.
It reminds us of a joke that
Hoover Taft, Jr.. of Greenvilla
used to tell while he was state
YDC President in 1967-68. He
said that cat fights at night al
ways resulted in more oats and
that after the Democrats battled
among themselves there were al
ways more Democrats.
We think Skipper Bowles made
one thing pretty clear: That he
will not be running for governor
as the Scott Administration can
didate.
Rumor I is , making the rounds
wiat n faoott gives the nod to any
one to run with his blessings that
it might bS) m the direction of
inrector Roy Sowers of San.

If Skipper Bowles runs, and It
now appears that he is a likely
canoioate, it Is taken for nunfed

Every true Christian should
understand that THE TRUTH
COSTS. If you don't think so,
make it your own, value it, de
fend it, stand for it, and see if it
doesn't cost. Before you are
through it may cost you far more
than you had thought hours of
ease and pleasure, friends and
money. Yes, the truth costs. Sal
vation is gloriously free but the
truth costs that is if you want
it for yourself. Many who know
the truth WONT buy it. They
won't pay what it costs to say:
"This is what I believe. This is
my conviction." The truth Jsnt
worth that much to. them.
But God's Word urges us: "BUY
THE TRUTH!" Not, "Buy it if
you can get it at a bargain; if the
price is not too great" No, "BUY
the TKUTn! Buy it ait any
price.
It's far more valuable than any
thing you can give in exchange;
for it.
And when you have bought it
"SELL IT NOT." How many,
alas, have bought the truth only
to sell out again. For awhile they
valued and defended some God
given light from His Word, but
presently they sold it again for
something that seemed more val
uable. Perhaps it was peace with
others, or position, or popularity
or some other temporal gain. They
still gave mental assent that tt
was tiie truth, but it formed no
part of them. It was no longer a
conviction. Such should read a-
gam the Spirit's counsel: "BUY
THE TRUTH, AND SELL JT
NOT." He does not say: Don't
sell it unless you can get a very
good price for ft He says: "SELL
IT NOT. Sell it hot at any price;
But t no matte what It cost and
when tt is yours do not sell it for
any price or under any eonsidera-
ttoo. ......
It is because the truth 'is
Kttle valued to this mtifferent age,
