NO FISHING FROM
APRIL 15 TO JUNE 1
GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT
CALLS ATTENTION TO LAW
ENACTED LAST YEAR COV
ERING THIS QUESTION
Atlanta, Ga. —Attention is called,
by the State Department of Game
and Fish, to the fact that any kind
of fishing is prohibited by law be
tween April 15th and June Ist. Dur
ing that period it is a violation of
law to either sell or buy fresh water
fish.
The Legislature concluded, after
long consideration, that it is a wise
conservation measure to protect fish
in all fresh waters during the spawn
ing season, hence the enactment of
this regulation providing for a strict
closed season from April 15th to
June Ist.
The State Department of Game
and Fish has been confronted with
the suggestion, however, that to keep
hook and line fishermen away from
the fresh waters during this short
closed season would probably have
a tendency to make better oppor
tunity for dynamiters, seiners, net
ters and other unlawful fishermen
to pursue their unsportsmanlike and
illegal practices. Commissioner Pet
er S. Twitty admits this would be
true if it were not for the rigid en
forcement of other regulatory laws
prohibiting those practices. To meet
"possible conditions such as have
been suggested, through illegal fish
ing practices, the State Department
is now completing its arrangements
for pressing an enforcement cam
paign against all illegal fishing > prac
tices during the approaching closed
season. To better accomplish the pur
pose, and in aid to the ordinary state
agencies, the Department is offer
ing a cash reward of $25 to the per
son who causes the arrest and con
viction, or furnishes the evidence re
sulting in conviction, of anyone who
f
shall use traps, baskets, seins, nets,
oi who shall dynamite or poison any
of the waters or streams in Georgia
for the purpose of taking fish be
tween April 15th and June 7st, 1932.
Reports of violations should be made
either to the nearest Game Warden,
or to the State Department of Game
and Fish. In the nineteen mountain
counties, however, there is a special
closed season. •
FOURTH OF MISSISSIPPI
LAND SOLD FOR TAXES
IMMENSE AREA GOES ON BLOCK
TO' SATISFY TAX CLAIMS.
ONE FOURTH PRIVATE PROP
ERTY IN STATE IS SOLD
Jackson, Miss., April 4. —An esti
mated 25 per cent of the Mississippi
privately owned property .went on
the auction block Monday for de
linquent taxes.
Sheriff’s hammers swung in prac
tically every county and city as
lands seized for non-payment of
taxes were offered for sale. State
Land Commissioner R. D. Moore
made the estimate thate one-fourth
of the state’s private property was
involved. He based his figures on
advertisements received from county
and chancery clerks, who informed
him that land advertised for sale this
year exceeded any year in the history
of the state.
Reports of sheriffs of 74 of the
82 counties to Governor Conner dis
closed that 39,699 farms went on
the block Monday, or 16.2 per cent
of the total agricultural acreage of
the i tate. In addition, 12 per cent
of city and town property was for
feited for non-payment of 1931
taxes, according to reports.
Commissioner Moore estimated
the state already possessed from 15,-
000 to 40,000 acres of land in each
county, taken over for delinquent
taxes.
Statistics ’’khows that one-fourth
of the workers in the United States
are engaged in occupations that were
unheard of 30 years ago.

TALIST IS TO BECOME BASIS
OF LEGAL BATTLE ON PART
OF CERTAIN HEIRS
The will of the late Mr. R. p.
Brooks is to be contested by a num
ber of the heirs of the estate.
About 3fT of the heirs have filed a

the case is the firm of Williams &

but is estimated as being between
$250,000 and $300,000. Several of
the relatives of Mr. Brooks and sev
eral c-f the family servants yvera
remembered in his will. The residue
o’ - the estate was bequeathed to the
Gentlewoman Homo, an institution
h
tc. be organized and administered by
a board of trustees. It is this provi
sion in the will, ’which conveys the
bulk of the estate, which will be at
tacked by those seeking a change,
in the distribution of the property.—
