VERY CONFUSING.
1t can lie easily seen that the law on the
subject is very confusing. one county mas
one season and another county another.
Cumberland and Lunenburg have no laws
and Prince Edward and Charlotte, right be-
tween them. are very stringent. The meni-
bcrs Of the General Assembly from lhe cOuh-
ties that have no low about hunting are re-
spOnsible for the state Of aiialrs-a state
which Mr.. Miller does not believe Will exist
at the end of another legislative session.
All sportsmen in Virginia are in favor OF
"A uniform law. the same all over the state,
and then there would be no trouble. and an
effort will be made 10 have the Legislature
enact such a measure at its next session.
The desired season runs from November Isl
10 February LIST.
