Hunters Beware!
At the (session ot legislature
just closed, and in pursuance to
the reccomendation ol the grand
jury the following local bill pro
hibiting the killing of any game
bird within the limits ot Carroll
County for two years was passed;
Sec. i. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Georgia,
and it is hereby enacted by
authprity ot the same, that from
and alter the passage ol this act
it shall be unlawful for any
person within the limits of Car-
roll County to shoot, trap, net
or destroy in any manner any
partridge, dove or other game
bird tor a period of two years.
Sec. a. lie it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid, That
any person violating provisions
of Sec. i ot this act shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and on
conviction shall be punished as
provided in Sec. 1039 of Vol. 3
ol the code 01 1895.
The farmers of this county
should take a special interest in
seeing that this law is not violat
ed in any form as it - is chiefly
for their benefit that it was pas
sed. Insects ot every kind are
the bane ot the farmer’s life and
birds are the natural enemies of
the insects and destroy countless
numbers every year, but if the
birds are all killed it will be but
a short time until the farmer will
have his hands lull trying to
keep the pests oft his growing
crops.
Only a few years ago the boll
weevil was nor known outside ot
the state ot Texas but each year
they have steadily advanced
eastward, sometimes only about
100 miles per year, sometimes
more, until they had crossed
Louisianna, Mississippi and at
last have all but reached Geor
gia. The last government re
ports show that they have reach
ed Mobile, Ala., and as our
county borders on Alabama
will be one of the first counties
in this state to be infested with
this pest, and it behooves us to
make preparations now to fight
them. This law looking to the
preservation of our birds is the
first step in the fight, and a wise
one too.
Carroll County is the first to
pass a bird law, but no doubt
other counties will soon follow
our example. In the meantime
let us all see that our law is rigid
ly enforced.
