INDIANS DEVOUR
HAPEVILLE FRIDAY
The Summerville Indians trampled the
Hapeville High eleven of Atlanta, here
last Friday afternoon by the score of
47 to 0.
The Summerville boys showed great
‘‘oothall spirit against the big boys of
Hapeville, running touchdowns almost
every time they got. the hall ?nd offering
a defense that held Hapeville scoreless
and to only three first downs.
The mighty offense of the Indiians was
powered by Tallent, Bohannon and Coo
per, and the excellent pass receiving of
Headrick at end. These boys, with the
splendid blocking of the line, showed such
perect team work that each run of the
ball drove them far through the big line
of the Hapeville team.
The Indians seemed to score at will,
piling up seven touchdowns and five extra
points. The rallying started in the firs!
quarter when Tallent and Bohannon made
touchdowns each. The third score came
in the second quarter when after driving
down the field to the thirty-vgrd line.
Hendrick caught a beautifully pass
thrown by J’allent. The lead at the halt
was 20 to 0. The last half proved better
than the first as the Indians snored four
more touchdwons. two by Tallent, on
by Bohannon and one by Headrick. Ta’
lent carried over four of the extra point
from fake kicks and Headrick one.

suring the state government's borrowing
and “kiting" practice, Hughes Spalding,
prominent Atlanta attorney, in a recent
address before the Savannah Rotary

and political ills could be solved through
education of its youth. He added : “Let
every citizen do his part fairly, justly
and honorably, according to the rules o
gooel citizenship and our troubles will
be over.”
Leading up to his solution. Mr. Spald
ing said that "if we continue our pres
ent rate of borrowing and ‘kiting.’ our
state government, school system and all.
will collapse. What kind of citizens can
we expert to develop when the sovereign
state of Georgia is repudiating its debts?"
he asked. He added that business inter
ests accepted the fact that Georgia must
be financed and that no one wanted to see
Georgia’s 'humane program curtailed.

ATLANTA, Oct. 18—William Mc-
Pherson, veteran manager «f the Pebble

farm cross-breeding of different families
if Jersey cattle has become a success,
stipo, the quality of Georgia live
t'Ock has improved 25 to 35 per cent,
n recent years. His farm, he said, was
he first “come out in the open" with the
cross-breeding, particularly between the
Derconis and Standard families.
It has been so successful he declared.
• hat virtually all his prize-winning cattle
has been sold and the resulting younger
herd is a better quality. Other catth
farms and some agri' , ’tnral colleges arc
taking up this production method. Geor
gia's live stock quality has imiproved to
iich an extent, Mr. McPherson said, that
ilie east is coming to the South for good
blood lines, whereas the South formerly
depended upon the east for them.
Better production methods, soil and
climatic advantages and establishment of
nore packing houses and cheese plants
in Georgia have helped make tbe state's
'ive stock industry an annual $73,000,000
business, he added. It. was worth only
‘ l ' ! 00-0 000 three years previously.

JAMELAWSTO BE
RIGIDLY ENFORCED
The wild-life rangers of Georgia have
been lenient in handling eases of game
law violations during the forty-five days
that the new force has been in the field.
This was to give the people <e oppor
tunity to get acquainted with the men
and learn that they were on the job. But
in the future it will be necessary for the
rangers to enforce the law when violators
are apprehended.
We feel that it is fitting, at this point,
to print some of the laws by which all
>f us must abide.
All hunters are required by law to
'lave proper license to hunt.
It is a violation of the state law:
1. To hunt any game bird or animal
at night, with the exception of opossum,
raccoon and fox.
2. To buy, sell, or offer for sale any
game bird or animal; to ship by mail.
>xpress, or any other means any game
bird or animal; or to possess game out
side the open season, provided that five
days are allowed for consumption of
game killed in legal season.
3. To hunt on the lands of another
without his permission.
4. To trap any game bird or animal
by any means. (Does not include certain
fur-bearers in open trapping season.)
There is no closed season on rabbits and
foxes, but license is required to hunt.
Foxes may be hunted with dogs only at
any time, but may not be trapped except
during trapping season, which is Nov.
’0 to March 1. Trappers license is re
iiiired. No person may chase fox on the
lands of another without first obtaining
the consent of the landowner. It is un
lawful to dig fox from dens or to have
in possession any live fox at any time.
Every person on a fox, raccoon or
opossum hunt must have a license.
It is unlawful to hold in captivity any
game bird or animal without special per
mission from the director of the division
f wild-life.
It is a violation of the law to shoot
quail on the ground.
All game law violations are misdemea
nors and are punishable by a fine of not
'ess than $25 nor more than S2OO and
all costs of court.
These are a few of the hunting laws.
Others will be printed from time to time.
Any questions referred 'to the wild-life
ranger in this district will be cheerfully
answered.
This department would much rather
have the co-operation of the people than
to have to resort to law enforcement.
Dove shooting season closed last Sun
day. Oct. 15, so peace be with them until
Dec. 20.

SUMMERVILLE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH
(J. G. Kirckihoff, Pastor.)
Spurgeon once related the following
incident: A negro had become convinced
through hearing an address by a mis
sionary. that it was his duty to give the
tenth of his increase to the Lord. So he
divided his fields into ten parts and
planted corn and potatoes, etc., in one
tenth for the Lord, but he took no care
of it further on. When people passed by
they usually expressed surprise, that
nine-tenths of the field was in .perfect
condition and one-tenth entirely neglected.
Then Zacharich was wont to explain,
"That is the Lord’s part.”
So, many do. Their own affairs are
attended to with great care, their Whole
being is forced into action therein, but
in tlieir work for the Lord they are luke
warm and do as Zacharich did with his
field.
