GAME LAWS PROTECT BIRDS.
Huntsmen Anxious to Get Out But
Season Not Yet Legally Open.

The recent cold weather which came up
on Georgia so suddenly last week started
many a willy Nimrod into the field and
wood and since that time queries have
come to The Journal office from planters
and landowners who allege that they have
been trespassed upon by hunters, asking
for information regarding the game laws
of Georgia.
For many kinds of game the hunting
season does not open legally until Novem-
Der LIST. T
The laws governing the shooting and
trapping of game are somewhat stringent
in this state in order to prevent the ami
hilation of the various species of game.
Only doves can be shot or trapped at
this time; of year. These birds cannot be
baited at any time. The shooting, trap
ping. ensnaring and destroying of pleas
ants in Georgia is prohibited by special
enactment until the year 1902.
The following extracts from the game
laws of Georgia are given governing the
opening and closing of the hunting sea-
son:

shoot, trap, kill, ensnare, net or destroy

DISREGARD FOR LAW.
Washington Says Nation Has Had Part
in Murder of President.

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Sept. 24-Booker T.
Washington, of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial institute. has given out
statement in reference to the assassina-
ton Of President Mckinley, in which he
says:
I'm all sincerity, want to ask, is
Czolgosz alone guilty? Has not the en-
tire nation had a part in this greatest
crime of the century? What is anarchy
but defiance of law, and has not the
nation reaped what 1t has been sowing?
According to records 2,516 persons have
been lynched in the United States during
the past 16 years, and every state in the
Union except five has had its lynching.
A conservative estimate would place the
number of persons engaged in these
lynchings at about so per Individual
lynched so that there are or have been
engaged I'M this anarchy of lynching near
ly 125, 500 persons to say nothing of the
many organized bands of technically or
ganized anarchists. Those composing
these mobs have helped create disregard
for law and authority that in my mind
has helped to lay the Foundation for the
great disgrace and disaster that has over
taken the country.
ITO check the present tendency it seems
to me there are two duties that face us:
First for all classes to unite in an earn
est effort to create such a public senti-
mcnI as Will make CIlIIlG uASdppCdAs anu
especially is 1t -needful that we see that
there is no idle, dissolute,i purposeless
class permitted in our midst.
Second, for all to unite in a. brave eff
fort to bring criminals to justice, and
where a supposed criminal is found, no
matter what the charge against him is,
to see that he has a fair, patient, legal
trial.
"At the present time when governors,
Judges, the pulpit and the press in all
parts of the country are. condemning
lynching and anarchy as never before Is
the time to begin the reform.
when the practice of lynching was be-
gun it was said that lynching would be
inflicted but for one crime, but the actual
facts show that so true is it that law
lessness breeds lawlessness that more
people are now lynched each year for
other supposed crimes than for the crime
for which it was begun. @
LET US heed the words of our departed
and beloved chief, as he lay upon his
dying bed, referring to his murderer: 1
hope he will be treated with fairness.
'If William Mckinley, as he was Of
fering up his life in behalf of the ma
ton, could be brave enough, thoughtful
and patriotic enough to request that his
assailant should be fairly and honestly
tried and punished, surely we can AFFORD
10 heed the lesson. '..- -.

TAR HEEL COTTON CROP SHY.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 24.-The special
cotton crop statement issued today shows
that the character Of the weather in the
territory tributary to this port during
this month has been rather favorable up
to the storm which began about a week
ago and did considerable damage, espe-
cially to the grade of the cotton, as a
good deal of the crop was ready to be
gathered. The prospect for the yield will
be from 5 to 10 per cent less than last
year, although the acreage planted was
larger
But little change is reported with labor,
which has been poor and expensive.
There seems to be some inclination to sell
cotton around. present prices, but any ma
terial decline would result, it is said, in
holding by all classes.

Mobile are considerably wrought up over
the repeated brutal assaults of late on
white women by apparently the same par
ty, who has earned the sobriquet of Jack
the Slapper." No motive can be assigned
for the crimes. The favorite method of
assault is to break or cut open windows of
residences at night and reach in and strike
a sleeping woman with club. This done,
the desire of the fellow is satisfied. Up to
date II such assaults have been committed.
The last was on Sunday night.

The Mckinley monument fund grows.
like all great movements, through its own
force, and the many voluntary offerings,
large and small, which come hourly to

strongest assurance of success.
The different committees have gotten
to work in earnest and subscriptions are
coming in rapidly The enthusiasm man.

the streets, and the committee feels very
much encouraged with the success Of its
work.
Mr.. P. H. Shook, of the furniture COM
mittee, sent a check for $3.50 with the
following letter, which was received by
him:
Dear Sir: We inclose herewith check
for $3.50 for the Mckinley fund. This
money represents an absolutely voluntary
contribution among the workingmen in
our shop and unsolicited by US. The move
ment was spontaneous, and represents
contributions from among the men from
5 cents up. We are very much pleased
with the spirit shown by the men, and
do likewise. Wishing the committee mucn
success, we are yours truly,

Sig. Pappenheimer, Prest.
This letter is particularly encouraging,
rnanifesting as 1T does the general interest
felt by working men and boys Of all
classes and conditions The small boy who
could only give cents feels the same keen
interest in the Mckinley memorial as the
man of large affairs and interests who
gives his hundreds. The widow gives her
mite, and the sum grows larger every
hour. -l },iskr

and their large following that enthusiasm
Is manifested, it crops up in individuals,
in the churches in clubs and organiza-
lions of all kinds, giving the best and

the movement in the minds OF the people.
