Timber Denredators.

The Albany Nelcs and AdUeYtissT Is
dealing the Gland pirates" Of the wire
grass region some heavy blows The
..land pirates are those who, under pre-
tended title. or without any color Of claim
whatever, enter upon lands and cut the
timber or box the trees for turpentlne
purposes. The ''land pirates" take on
the land all that i valuable. According
10 the Ne7-s and Advertiser, the aid OF the
courts has been invoked IN vain 70 check
The depredations Of the pirates, and it is
thought that the only remedy that Is
likely 70 prove e1fectual Is the shotgun
remedy. We DO not know any
thing about the extent Of the
evil complained Of. but We assume that
our contemporary is well posted, and that
it has the facts 70 support its assertions.
We are inclined 10 think that either the
county officials fail 10 do their duty. or
that the pirates are not proceeded against
in the proper way. Men who will de-
libeTately take that which does not be-
long To them VIII not pay much attention
10 injunctions. They ought to be prose-
cuted criminally. If few Of them were
lodged in Jail they would not be so ready
after that sort Of an experience TO repeat
their ofenses. To attack them with in
functions is about as effective as
fighting ironcIads with pop-guns. A
man living a long distance from
his land can hardly afford to hire men 10
watch il. and it is not the business Of the
state or the counties TO furnish guards
for private lands. The only way the Of
tenders can be reached is by means Of the
criminal laws. The Federal Government,
a year or two ago, instituted a vigorous
warfare against timber depredators, and
! succeeded to a large extent in checking
| their depredatiOns. Those whose unlaw-
/ full practices were interfered with made a
! great cutlery, and attempted to excite the
/ sympathy Of Congress in their behalf.
| They were not successful, and when they
found that the government was really in
| earnest they concluded to act honestly in
! all cases where there was any chance Of
/ their being found out. Let the land
owners in the wiregrass section abandon
| civil proceedings and prosecute the Gland
! pirates" criminally, and the Ne0s and
| AdrertiSer will not have so much Occa-
sion to complain.
