Herndon, Manager CARROLLTON, GA IS YOUR LAND POSTED 7 Now that tho hunting season is hore, let ’s give serious consideration to two facts. First, so long as land is not posted, the gnmo belongs to nnyone who will come nnd got it. Second, game birds and animals are rapidly disap pearing and many of them will become extinct if farm owners do not take more interest in their protection nnd preser vation. Tho gamo on privately ownod land is tho property of tho landowhor and protected by State and Federal law pro vided ho Bimply asserts his ownership To post onr farms all we have to do is to placo in conspicuous places signs that hunting is not allowod. This applies to firstling, bIbo. Especially large, big type signB may be had of your local print ing shop at slight cost. There are other reasons for having luud posted besides the protection of game. Many so-called hunters :ya not only careless of the rights of others, bat arc awkward in the use of fire arms and liable to injure stock or even persons. When protected, game may become r profitable crop for home use, and of ‘en is when protection has lasted sov ernl years. Some farmers sell hunting privileges by tho day, by tho season, or 'or a term of years. Certainly ws •hould not let our gnme be. killed and )ur fields trodden down by strangers without some sort of reward.—The Pro ;rcssivo Farmer. Editor Free Press: Tho nbovo clip ping appeared in tho issue of your pa per last week, Thursday 29th, 1923, The article is copied from Tho Pro greBsivo Fnrmor nnd of course you are not to blame for tho damngo its publi cation is liable to do before the error nu get straightened out. So far back ns we linve nny history, birds, rabbits, p’possoms, minks, squir rels, deer, skunks, bear nnd all wild ife has been tho property of tho owner of thq land nnd no ono has ever had a right to go on tho land of another and kill it, or them, without tho consent of tho owner. It was called “common law” up to 1911-12. Amended 1916 and 1919. Since that time it has been statutory law. Tho statute roads: Section 7. No person shnll hunt or fish upon the lands of another with or without license without first having ob tained permission from such land own er.” Any one doing so is declared to bo guilty of n misdemeanor. Tho pun ishment for hunting without liconBO or with license and without tho land own- er’s permission is a fino of from $10 to $1000, or in tho gang not less than ton nor over 90 days^lAboth . Section 10 of the X*t makes it the duty of Judges of Superior Courts to “especially mention in their charges to the respective grand juries the provis ions of this act.” Tho common law nover gave any ono the right to hunt on another’s land, if not posted. Tho statutory law don’t. The clipping Bays: “So long as land is n'ot posted, tho gamo belongs to'fiijf ono who will come and get it.” Tho Court of Appeals in a case of Qlassingamo vs. State, from tho City Court of Madison county says. “This court holds that no kind or character of game, whether designated by the Act or not, can bo hunted without com plying with tho requirements as to li cense, and without first obtaining the permission of the l.and owner.” Could anything bo plainer $ “The Progressive Fnrmor” must havo been asleep, or was needing a job. Ho says in reference to tho notices: 1 ’Especi ally large, big-typo signs may be had of your local printing shop at .slight cost ”11 Several years ago I understand the law required “Notices.” It don’t now. Don’t spend any money for “big typo signs.” The law does roc,uiro a license and yoUr consent before ho can hunt legally oij your land for any thing. • The Judge in Carroll who is supposed to try folks who violate the gamo law won’t issue a warrant for a violator unless the land owner prosecutes. If you save your property you will have to act and act quickly. “Little” crimes ignored leads on to murder. Ono good citizen of Carroll patrols his premises with gun to protect his property. He has a right to do so. One cow lias already boon killed. Go tc^a justice of the peace, take out papers and bind over to tho grand jury and see wli'at they will do. You don’t have to post your land.
