people OF Nansemond want the bird
law changed. There was no act passed
by the last Assembly which huntsman
so much want undone as the statute
prohibiting the killing Of cartridges.
There will be some effort made TO repeal
by member from this section most
likely.
But 1t will not make much difference
after all. Many eunncrs are shooting
birds openly and without fear. They
know the prevailing sentiment and are
not afraid OF being reported. When the
bill first became law there was some
respect shown 1t, but as the FOCAL pulse
was felt sportsmcn began to kill par
tridges, quietly at first, but then with
out fear OF molestation.
