FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUNE 12, 1930.
HEAVY PENALTY FOR
VIOLATING FISH LAWS
ALLEGED SEINING OF STREAMS
IN MONROE COUNTY BRINGS
MANY COMPLAINTS FROM
HOOK-AND-LINE NIMRODS.
For the benefit of those citizens
who are not familiar with the fishing
laws of Georgia, The Advertiser is
printing below the laws and extracts
from a pamphlet issued by the State
Game and Fish Commissioner, Peter
S. Twitty. The Advertiser has learn
ed of numerous complaints of viola
tion of the fish laws, especially sein
ing, in Monroe county:
Oui- commonwealth imposes on the
fisherman in this state fewer restric
tions than in most states, far more
moderate regulations than in many
states; and less of legal requirements
than in probably any state in the
Union. It bids to its citizen, and to
his friend from elsewhere, a cordial
welcome and asks of him little else
than that he be a “true sportsman”,
have a mind also for the happiness
of his fellowman, and to remember
that a sportsmanlike conservation
makes for the continuity of that hap
piness in the future years.
; Georgia’s fishing laws are extreme
ly liberal; none of them is oppres
sive. In many other states the sate
|of fresh water fish is prohibited By
law. None of these restrictions is
imposed upon the fisherman in Geor
gia. If he fishes with a hook and
line he may take as many fish as he
pleases, regardless of their size so far
as the written law is concerned. Nor
is there any prohibition in law to pre
ivent him selling his fish if he desires.
In these things he is restrained only
by the conscious of the good sports
man who must realize that the de
struction of undersized fish is a

BISHOP CHALLENGES SENATE
COMMITTEE’S AUTHORITY TO
INVESTIGATE HIS PERSONAL
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES.
WASHINGTON. — Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., walked out on the sen
ate lobby committee Thursday and his
questioners decided to take no legal
steps for the present to bring him
before them again.
The committee will not meet again
until next Wednesday, and mean
time it expects neither to issue a
subpoenea nor begin contempt pro
ceedings to punish the Southern
Methodist leader for his refusal to
testify about his anti-Smith campaign
activities in 1928.
As he withdrew, unexcused, and
followed by applause, hisses and
laughter, Cannon flung back at the
committee another challenge of its
authority. He had appeared volun
tarily, he said, had answered all the
questions he considered proper, and
was through unless the senators chose
to formally subpoenae him.
Chairman Carraway agrees with
Cannon that he should not be ques
tioned about his leadership in the
anti-Smith campaign.
Walsh, dry Catholic of Montana,
warned the witness that he was not
excused, and that his case would be
dealt with later.
With no witness before it, the
committee proceeded to put into the
record various (reports relating to
the anti-Smith campaign, and then
waste. ’
No License Required to Fish
Most of the states have enacted
Statutes requiring a license to fish.
That tax must be paid and tie license
procured before the fisherman can
legally enjoy one of the greatest of
all out-door sports. No fishing li
cense or fee is required to fish in
Georgia, in fresh waters, except
when one catches shad fish for sale.
It Is a Violation of Law
To take fish by means 6f baskets,
traps, or similar devices.
To cause to be placed in any of
the waters of this state any trap, bas
ket, or similar device for the purpose
of taking fish.
To seine or net for fish.
To dynamite fish.
To place in the waters in this state
any poisonous substance, such as
walnut hulls, lime or any other sub
stance likely to destroy the fish.
To poison fish in any manner.
To shoot fish.
To muddy a stream or any other
body of water in order to take fish
therefrom by means of hand-grab
bing or otherwise.
Penalties for Violating Fish Laws
Penalties are necessary in the en
forcement of all regulatory enact
ments. Without,a penalty they would
not be valid. An act of the General
Assembly of Georgia of 1925 fixes a
penalty for violation of the state fish
laws (except dynamiting) as follows:
A fine of not less than $25 nor more
than S2OO, and all costs of court; or
not less than 30 days nor more than
90 days on the chaingang; or not less
than 30 days nor more than 90 days
in jail; either or all of said penalty
to be applied in the discretion of the
court in which the trial is had.
The penalty prescribed by law for
dynamiting fish is a fine of not less
han SIOO and not more than SI,OOO
together with all costs of court; or
no less than three months nor more
than ’2 months on the chaingang;
or no less than three months nor
more th n 12 months in jail; either
or all of the penalties to be applied
within the d^cretion -of the court
where the ca e is tried.

adjourned until next Wednesday. 1
After the adjournment, Senator
Walsh, of Montana, told newspaper
men that he regarded Cannon as “in
plain contempt of the senate.”
Walsh said in his opinion Cannon’s
refusal to answer opened the way
to one possible contempt proceeding,
while his withdrawal Thursday con
stituted a second basis for' a con
tempt charge.
Bishop Cannon’s statement to the
committee said:
“In view of the nature of the ques
tions asked me by the committee on
yesterday morning concerning the

before yesterday, a seven ye*r old lad
told us boastingly that he had just
killed five flies, two males and three
females, and when we asked him how
he knew, he replied: “Two were on
the table and three on the mirror."
We’re not trying to get over a
