Question Concerning Game Ia,

A recent statement in a Black Hills
paper as to the violation OF the state game
law, and the fact that a rigid law on this
subject had been passed at the last session
OF the legislature, has caused a little in
vesetGatSon of the game law OF the state "a.
II now stands n the question has been
raised as to whether there is at Present
any statute in force governing the killing
OF large game. The statute passed in 1888
was practically the re-enactnent of sec.
tons 1919 to 1854 inclusive of the Com
piled Laws, and all other statutes in con
fiict were repealed. In this re-enact-
ment the legislature absolutely prohibited
the killing Of large game up to the LIST day
OF September, 1896, and after that date
there was no prohibition upon the killing.
OF large game. In the enactment OF last
winter one of the provisions was intended
to make every fifth year a closed year and
the first year soSet was 1900. The rest of the,
provisions of the law bear directly upon the
mi under which large game may be;
killed in the open years after 1890, butt
only apply to the years preceding to that
time by implication and do not bear d.
rectly on the years before 1900. After that
though, the statute Is very explicit and.
hunters in the western part Of the state
take the position that the law does not affect
them at the present time.

Harney Peak Tax Case,

Harvey Peak Tax Case.
For several years the Harvey Peak Tin
Company has not paid its taxes. Last
summer the treasurer Of Pennington
County levied on the personal property Of
the company for the entire amount of the
tax, amounting to over $4,000. An In
Junction was served from the federal court
restraining the treasurer from making the
sale until the case had been tried before
Judge Garland of Sioux Falls. The court
has handed down its decision in the mat
ter, which is that the county has a right to
collect the tax. The disputed question in
the case was whether property in the
hands Of a receiver, appointed by the
United States court, could be taxed, and
whether the payment could be enforced.

The Breeze

Gentle Gulf Coast Breeze; Your
kind visit to my home last night was
highly appreciated, and the news you
brought me was carefully scanned
You hail from old Wakulla, from old
Wakulla which once / called my home
where portions of my boyhood days
were spent, before our state was hon
ored by star, in the great coustella-
ton Of our States.
Often did l ramble through her
hammocks and forests, float upon the
bosom of her beautiful clear waters,
and wander over her fertile hills, and
through her verdant valleys, enjoying
myself as boy only could do, but
Many days have passed since then,
And many changes we have seem"
| love my state, and am always proud
of old WakullH for the noble stand that
she has always taken in behalf of the
right, | am proud of her for having
been able to furnish to our state, at its
capitol that grand old hero, Hon. John
J.. Crawford.
Then go forward, Oh, gentle BREEZE,
and carry the knowledge Of Old Wa
kulla's sulphural waters, her master
spring, one OF natures wonders, her
fertile soil and her salubrious climate
to all the world, and especially to the
ice-covered waters and snow-clad hills
Of the north
Be assured, o BREEzR, that old Gads-
den, with her many tobacco fields,
wherein poor Cuba's staple crop now
reigns supreme, will always rejoice
with old Wakulla in her prosperity, and
mourn with her in adversely.
i wish you great success.

ENLARGED and IMPROVED.

We present the BREEZE
enlarged and improved. If
you like it tell us so, and
prove it by your patronage.
Wakulla county is blessed
with more natural resources
than any county in Florida.
Right here are to be found
more of the elements that go
to support human life and
make life worth living, than
can be found in the same
area anywhere else on the
Globe.
This could be made one OF
the foremost and most pr0Sc
porous counties in the state,
and no good citizen shonld be
content to lag behind the pro-
cession in the great march of
civilization.
Every good citizen in the
county is interested in hav-
ing a live, interesting coun'
ty paper, and we want the
name of every good citizen
on our subscription list, and
we want the card of every
business man in the county
in our advertising columns.
Give us a reasonable support
and we will give you a good
paper, withhold your sup
port and the paper will mere
ly exist.
This county should have
as large a newspaper as any
in the State, and we have
the material for making it
so.
Nothing would afford us
more genuine pleasure than
to keep the BREEZE up to
the highest standard of ex-
celence, if the people of the
county will only give it suffi-
Gent support to pay running
expenses.
