PROTECTION TO GAME.
Suggestion in Essex That the County
Paw for Hawk ScaIns.


Much interest is being taken by the peo-
pie at large in the question of game pro
lection, and it is probable that the extra
session of the Legislature viii be called
on to deal with the question when it
meets.
The matter is being discussed in the
county papers in various parts Of the
State.
Mr. 3. ]. Saunders, of Essex, re-
Gently wrote an interesting article to the
Tidewater Democrat on the destruction to
game by hawks. ana suggested that the
county pay half-dollar for hawk scalps.
Hon. ]. H. c. Beverley. in the last issue
of the same paper. declares the sugges-
ton eminently practical and wise. and
should receive the support Of every pub
lic-spirited citizen in the county.
Mr.. Beverley further says:
There is no hawk that does not cost
the Taxpayers in one year much more
than 50 cents They live many years, rails
ing frequently two broods a year, hence
hawks scalp would be an excellent in
vestment for the county.
Another thing which should be stepped
is the wholesale slaughter of wild fowl
now being prosecuted by pot hunters. l see
from the papsrs that three sportsmen CO
a few days since. killed, firing together at
one shot, 145 ducks. | hear that last
Thursday two other sportsmen (?) killed
at one shot sixty-five ducks, ali done here
on our river, generally at night and with
large guns. This is piggisn murder, and
should be stopped by act of the Lesisla-
ture. Other States have found it necessary
TO proect their game. and Essex county
and Virginia should DO 50 at once before
it is all destroyed. We should all rally to
the support of Mr.. Saunders proposition,
and see to it that our poultry and game
,,r,l:.
to organize for tbs purpose should be held
in the near future
