A good supply ol llgs had been barbecued Saturday night by one who certainly knows his uigs and how to barbecue them tc suit the most exacting palate. Not only the barbecue, but a generous supply of other good things were al so In great and satisfying eridence, beside, many of the friends, who had, several of them driven for many miles to be present on this occasion, brought baskets well filled with them. Tables were spread on the spacious lawn under the trees and a most de lightful time was enjoyed by all. After the dinner had been disposed of to the satisfaction of everyone, Dr. L>. T. Smlthwick, acting as Master of Ceremonies, mounted an impro vised platform and presented to the assembled relatives and friends a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. EHwards, John A., who is a ministerial student, having Just finished at Bules Creek this year; this young man delivered a brief but exceedingly spiritual five r.,inu)te talk, dwelling particularly on the greater reunion which would come to all later in the greater gathering of Eternity. Following this brief talk, Mr. Wm. L. Robinson, Louis burg Attorney, was Introduced and i proceeded -to deliver tho address of thv day. Mr. Robinson particularly cwelt on the wonderful opportunities which lie before the youth of today; he particularly stressed the fact that o high and lofty ambition, coupled with earnest teal aqd honor were the greatest requisites of final success. He dwelt at some length upon the wonderful progress made by North Carolina, referring to her as the Queen State of the Union, during the past decade, and referred to Gover nor Gardner In most glowing terms, calling him the greatest Governor of the greatest State in the entire United States today. Referring to the in tense loyalty and patriotism of the 8outhem Youth, he pointed out that, during the war with Germany, the quotas of the various Southern States were practically all filled by volunteer enlistments, while the dl latorlness and hesitancy On the- part of the Northern men was largely re sponsible for the Conscription Bill. Following' Mr. Robinson's address, Dr. D. T. Smlthwick. in a few well chosen rmarks, concluded the speak ing part of the program. Many then adjourned to the parlor where the rest of the afternoon was spent r.rouSd the piano playing and sing ing.

Under the new regulations. .Mm closed season on fishing vtlKMMSlW gin until May 1 instead" Of April 29 as has been the law previously. Thid closed season applies to all species of game fish except the trouta of Western North Carolina Whose spawning season comes during 'a 'dif ferent period of the year. The peri od of the year in which these -.IJpes of fish are protected, extend*",. September 1 to'April 15 of the 16M0 lng year. The general closed season WW ex tend from May 1 to Jung IP, giv\ng a 40-day protected period In the' fu ture In the place of 50 days hereto fore. Another new regulation also pro hibits the taking of fresh water fish in commercial waters during the time that the season Is closed In Inland waters. Seining will continue under the ban in inland waters following action of the board in denying requests that special permits be granted for this privilege in certain, counties of the State. The board took the viewpoint that as a wholesome method of tak ing fish, seining Is unfair to the great masses of fishermen whose oppcrrtun ty for sport would be spoiled when waters are depleted by those whc would exercise the privilege if sein ing were permitted. Collections from anglers' license) this season are said by officials tc be well ahead of last year, bavin; reached approximately 350,000. Th< State Law requires that every peraor who fishes In any other except hlf home county must take out a ?tat< license. However, the license re qulrement has been extended to In elude all fishermen in 26 counties Fishermen, it Is said, should ascer tian If their county Is among these. f [ciiuncii .WOUNC CHI mpgs ST.
