HUNTING IN cURRITUcK soUND.
Unlawful to Use More Than One
bush Blind"

One Of the more important of the
local game law bills passed by the
Legislature was that protecting game
and regulating hunting in Currituck
Sound, where wild duck have been
abundant. and the great influx of
nonresident hunters threaten by
their disregard for the preservation of
game to damage seriously the hunt
ing interests of that section.
An act was passed making 1t UNI
lawful for persons TO use more than
one bush blind" i'm certain portions
of Currituck Sound, and it is also un-
lawful to sail either before or after
they have put decoys in the waters of
Currituck Sound, boat in any way,
in the territory for picking up or
forcing game Of any kind on the wing
except by the use of oars or poles

vent the shifting or ring shooting of

largement. His bill passed without
dissenting voice, and was the only
bill carrying an appropriation intro
duced in the Legislature that was not
cut down by the. Appropriation Com
mitee Mr.. Stronach also took great
interest in the bill to increase the pen
sions of the Confederate Soldiers. He
secured an increase of $4,000 a year,
making a. total of $275.000 annually
which is more than doubling it in the
last four years. Mr.. Stronach's
devotion to the cause of the old sol
diers at the Home is well known. All
North Carolina knows that any appeal
to him, based upon his love and 10y
atty to the Lost Cause, will secure his

at Raleigh, and as a leading member
of the United Confederate Veterans
Association, he is one of the foremost

Mr.. Stronach did not speak often in
the House, but always with such clear
ness and logic as to make himself UNI

an Independent thinker, totes his own

his conviction.
In cooperation with the other
members from Wake. he secured legis-
lation for schools and roads and bet
ter laws for city government that will
give great satisfaction to Raleigh ana
