Act Prohibits Seining
After August 26th.
Fishermen who are expecting
to catch fish at any time in the
near future except with hook and
line had better save their money
and not invest it in seins and
nets, according to a statement
just issued by Peter S. Twitty,
state game and fish com missioner
In some counties, the impres
sion prevails that seining and
netting will be permitted after
July Ist, but such is not the case.
The General Assembly of 1925
passed an Act prohibiting the
use of seines and nets for a per
iod of five years. This term will
expire on August 26th of this
year, but the same Act gives the
state board of game and fish the
authority to extend the closed
period, and otherwise regulate
,or prohibit the use of seins and
nets at all times. Acting under
authority of law and on advice of
the attorney general, the state
board of game and fish, at its an
nual meeting on May 6th, adopt
ed an order prohibiting the tak
ing of fish from any the streams
of Georgia by means of seines,
nets and similar devices, such
order to be effective for a period
of twelve months from August
26th, 1930, or until the general
assembly itself can take further
action in the premises.
This order passed by the state
board of game and fish under au
thority of the general assembly
has the same force and effect as
law, and fishermen of the state
are put on notice that it will be
rigidly enforced. All game war
dens, deputies and other employ
ees of the game and fish depart
ment are instructed to prosecute
seiners and netters and confis
cate all seines and nets used in
violation of the law.
“We invoke the interest and
cooperation of all true sport fish
ermen in our effoi ts to enforce
the law against seining. Withour
department's limited funds and
personnal, it is humanly impos
sible for us to efficiently enforce
this law in all sections of the
state, but if the real sportsmen
and other good citizens of every
county will discourage and de
nounce the practice, it can be re
duced to a minimum.

Solution of Mysterious
Death Believed Near
Louisville, Ga., June 23. —Solu
tion of the mystery surrounding
the death of Arthur Ivey, whose
dead body was discovered on
Federal Highway No. 1, 15 miles
south of Louisville, near Eman
uel county line, Saturday night,
Juno 14, seems near.
Officers of Emanuel county,
working night and day on the
case since the death of Ivey, se
cured the clue last Friday and
had warrants issued for Oscar
Ennis and A. D. Palmer, of Tar
rytown, Montgomery county.
Ivey was a resident of Emanuel
county.
Ennis and Palmer were appre
hended at their home in Tarry
town late Saturday and were ar
rested and brought here early
today and placed in jail. John
Hagen, ayonng man of Blundale,
is also being held as a material
witness. Other arrests are ex
pected to follow.
Ivey was killed when a speed
ing automobile struck the buggy
in which he was riding, throwing
him to the pavement. According
to officers, evidence that the par
ty stopped and unhitched the
mule from the wrecked buggy,
turned the mule loose, and left
Ivey dead on the highway, has
been secured.
The ear was occupied by Palm
er, Ennis and one other man and
two women, whose names have
, not been obtained, who were out
1 on a little “shine” party, accord
: ing to information secured by
the officers.
4 Palmer and Ennis will be given
• a preliminary hearing during
■ the coming week.
• A LAWYER’S TRICK
1 In New York a 71-story build
' ing is nearing completion for
' Bank of Manhattan, an institu
tion whose history goes back al
-1 most to the foundation of the
government. It is recalled by a
' recent writer that the institution
‘ resulted from the shrewd trick
1 of a lawyer, who was none other
’ than the notorious Aaron Burr.
At the time the bank was pro
• jected the group behind it were
“in bad” politically and hence
unable to obtain a bank charter.
They organized a water company
instead, but in drawing the char
’ ter Burr added a clause permit
i ting the company to engage also

ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1930
! REPUBLICAN MEETING
IS HELDJN DUBLIN.
The meeting of the Twelfth
district republican club in Dub
lin last Friday night was a reus
ing and intelligent gathering of
some of Georgia's best citizenry.
The Eleventh district republi
can club paid back a visit d ue the
Twelfth on account of the big
meeting at Waycross some weeks
ago, and a fine delegation of the
Eleventh district members were
in attendance at Dublin Friday
night.
Besides the Eleventh district
representation in this splendid
meeting, which was held in the
court house, there were a numb
er of guests from the Tenth con
gressional district, some from
the Seventh and a few from the
Fifth, or Atlanta congressional
district. We also had Mr. Cheney,
representing the postmaster
general from the District of Co
lumbia, who made quite a fine
speech in behalf of the new re
publican party of this state.
If any one doubts that the re
publican party of Georgia is in
the field of progress contending
for a safer place for democracy
to abide in, they should have been
. in this enthusiastic gathering at
Dublin last Friday night. Wheel
er county was represented at this
gathering with quite a sprinkling
of her fellow citizens.
A committee of five was select
, ed by the Twelfth district meet
ing to confer with a certain out
spoken candidate for congress
from this district on the reoub
i lican ticket this year. If this
; nomination is made in the person
under contemplation, Twelfth
district politics will take on a
new meaning for and from the
good year 1930.
More interest manifested in
political parties should be the
demand of every respectable citi
, zen who wishes better govern
. ment on the part of the state
, and the nation. It should be the
, proud privilege of every Ameri
can and Georgian to take their
• political activities in that party
where party government may be
used as it really was intended—
. to lash the politicians into doing
. the will of the state, the greatest
good to the greatest number in
■ all legislation affecting the right
. of the people. You are not doing
■ your unbounded duty to your
, self and your family, until you
can lay aside all that hate and
prejudice which has been upper
most in your political activities
for fear of negro domination and
’ come out into the open and use
party government in that manner
where it may do the most good,
in creating a higher interes t in
affairs from every angle.

HAIL AND WIND
SWEEP FARMS.
Moultrie, June 23. —Asserting
that wind and hail storm damage
in Colquitt, Worth, Thomas and
Mitchell counties will aggregate
$500,000 and that 300 farmers
suffered a total loss of their crops,
the local Red Cross chapter to
day wired national headquarters
to make available an emergency
fund and send a rehabilitation
representative to South Georgia.
Colquitt county, heart of one
of the most prosperous farming
sections of the state, was the
principal sufferer in the way of
crop damage. The storm cutting
a swath three miles wide and 20
miles long across the country,
was said to have virtually des
troyed the watermelon, tobacco
and corn crops, while cotton also
suffered heavily. Similar condit
ions, although to a lesser extent,
were reported from sections of
Worth, Laurens, Candler, Wilkes,
Lincoln and Tift counties.
A group of men from Washing
ton, on a fishing trip in Lincoln
county, told of the destruction
of a negro house near the place
where they had sought refuge
from the hail and wind. Later,
they said, they found one negro
dead and two others severely in
jured in the wreckage of house.
In the city of Tifton the high
wind blew out several plate glass
windows in the business section,
ripped part of the roof off a to
bacco warehouse, unroofed sev
eral smaller buildings and up
routed a number of trees. At
Doerun the wind lifted the roof
from a store.
An exact estimate of the dam
age suffered has not been calcu
lated, but it will run high into
the thousands of dollars.
A survey of the storm in Worth
and Colquitt counties showed the
area battered there was a strip
of land three miles wide and 15
miles long. It was estimated
that crops on 25,000 acres under
cultivation were ruined.
In Bleckley county two mules
were killed when the barn in
which they were housed was des
troyed by the wind.
In the Union community, north
of Metter, several farms were
damaged. An investigation in
; Candler county showed that the
tobacco crop through the west
ern part cf the county had suf
। sered from 30 to lOOper centloss.
An area approximately 3 miles
wide and 20 miles long, extend
i ed across Colquitt county from
north to south, was virtually
■ swept clean of all growing crops
' in Saturday’s hail storm. Hail
, fell in such quantities that resi
i dents of that section hauled it in
wagons from low places to fill
their ice boxes. In some places
pigs were killed and their bodies
> covered with hail.

Bolt of Lightning
Destroys Barn in County
The Bay Springs section in this
county was visited Wednesday by
a heavy rain, wind and lightning,
as was other sectins, which suf
fered from wind and hail. In the
Bay Springs section lightning
did some queer pranks, striking
a barn on the Graham place, des
troying same. The barn on the
farm of a Mr. Cooper was struck
by a bolt, badly damaging same.
The small child of Mr. Noah Le-
Favor was knocked unconsious,
but it will recover, it is said.
Other sections of the county
suffered from rain, wind and
hail, which injured watermelons,
as well other growing crops.
Death Claims Mrs. McGee.
Mrs. 0. F. Mee, 62, died at her
home a few miles north of Alamo
last Tuesday, after a long illness.
She was a great sufferer from
cancer of the stomach, and her
family and friends had been ad
vised for some time that she
could not live.
Mrs. McGee was a good lady J
a faithful member of the Snow
Hill Baptist Church, and her
passing caused sorrow among a
large circle of friends.
She is survived by her husb
and and seven children. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
L. A. Kelley Wednesday after
noon, and interment was in the
Snow Hill cemetery.
