GENERAL GAME LAW.
Plans OF the Audubon Society for the
Future.

The Directors OF the State Audubon
Society, at recent meeting held in
Greensboro, decided to prepare q
bill to be introduced in the Legisla-
ture, which will make a uniform close
season for game of all sorts of State
wide application. AS the law is now
written it's only effects are to protect
certain nongame birds and to pro-
vide for the enforcement Of such To-
cal laws for game protection, which
apply to the several counties. A
general law such as is proposed is
believed by the Society to be of the
greatest Importance and the officers
feel confident that il would meet the
approval of snortsmen and the peo-
pie generally Under the present
system there is the greatest confusion
as to game laws. Every county has
its own statutes and game protected
in one county may be shot at all sea-
sons IN another. The lack of uni
forlnity makes the laws ineffective
and difficult of being enforced. In
several of the counties for instance,
there is no protection for quail, in
others turkeys may be shot at all
seasons, while east OF the Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad there is
only one county which protects the
deer from destruction!
Although it has been in existence for
less than two years, the Audubon So
ciety has become already very popu-
lar with SportSmen and farmers. as
we'll as with those who are interested
in the preservation of song birds. 1t
is self supporting and is doing a fine
work in educating the people TO the
value of bird life in stimulating the
preservation of game of all sorts.
Reports from widely separated dis
tricts. show that a marked increase,
both in song birds and game has
followed the operation of the law.
Yet few arrests have been made and
fewer prosecutions. The society's
aims are educational rather than
communicative
