for more than a year. The society had
already been organized, with Prof. T. Gill
bert Pearson, the prime mover in the
matter, as Secretary.
The bill as it was introduced in the
House was the result of an organized
effort on the part of the sportsmen and
other bird lovers of the State to bring
about some measures for the enforce
ment of the game laws, to protect the
lives of song birds, and to stop the
heartless slaughter for millinery pur-
poses of the gulls, terms and other sea
birds along the North Carolina coast
Those who had the bill in charge re-
ceived numerous letters from non-resi-
dents urging that this be done. The fol-
lowing letter is an example and will serve
to show the spirit of the gentlemen who

Dear Sir: As nonresident shooter
and one who leases land in the State of
North Carolina, 1 write to tell you how
heartily endorse your proposed non-ros-
ident tax.
THE majority of non-residents who
shoot in North Carolina are interested in
leased lands, which cost them from SIS
per year up into the hundreds and more,
and it is greatly to their advantage that
the game of the State should be well
protected and l know that as a class they
will feel it no hardship to contribute to
this most worthy purpose
Very truly yours

Hon. s. E. Marshall, Re-
publican Senate Leader

A conspicuous figure in the brilliant
array of gentlemen composing the Sen
ate branch of the General Assembly of
1903 is the Senator representing the
Twenty eighth Senatorial district, com
prisng the counties of Surry and Stokes,
the Hon. S. E. Marshall. Of striking
personality and splendid ability, this
born leader of men, in thought and ac-
ton, though of a different political con-
viction, at once commanded the respect
of the Democratic majority. No higher
compliment has man been the recipient
of than the true saying: can honest man
is the noblest work of God" Mr.. Mar
shall in his excellent physiognomy por-
trays the honest sincere man, hence
must needs be the forced recipient of
the trite saying. Indeed his popularity
among his own people contradicts re
ligious history, for his popularity at
home exceeds that meritoriously gained
in the distance among new made friends
of other scenes and surroundings. A
brief sketch of his life is not deemed
amiss.
He was born amid the crucical days
that tried mems souls, the days of cruel
war and bloody carnage, the days Of
1862. Nursed in the lap of poverty by
his own magnificent efforts he nestles
today on the bosom of affuence and So
journs in the luxury of the well ordered
home, surrounded by loved ones and the
friends of childhood Denied collegiate
advantages the boy of yesterday the
predicated man of today, made the most
of his common and academic school days

chairman of the Republican Executive
Committee he demonstrated his ability

In 1896 he was honored by his party
as a Mckinley elcctor, being the same
year a delegate to the National Repub-
lican convention. In the year 1900 he
was elected for the second time as State
Senator and was hOnored again in like
capacity in the year 1902, being a member
of the Senate for his third term. En-
tering upon the work assigned him by
his constituency, he was chosen the
leader of the minority forces and was
accorded the distinguished honor of
nominating his party's candidate, Jeter
c. Pritchard, TO succeed himself in the
Senate branch of the National Congress,
which was done with eloquence and
ability. He was Chairman of the Repub-
lican joint caucus. At this term he
