COMMISSIONER WALLACE
 WRITES ON GAME LAWS

lary for the inforcement of these statutes, consisting of not less than 1000 men, and the vast majority of these seem to be taking an active interest in their work The new game law has disbanded not less than 100 hunters each day in each of our 67 counties. For five months eacn year formerly these 6700 men would in wade the fields and forests and would kill on an average of not less than 10 quali each, to say nothing of the squirrel, ducks wild turkeys, snipe, woodcocks, besides the song and insectivorous birds they would destroy. In a years time this great armed horde would kill not less than 810,O0O quails. Quails were shipped by the thousands last season from Alabama and brought not less than 50 cents each. This baneful practice has been absolutely stopped. The game law therefore, will save to the people of the state of Alabama in intangible values Tn quail alone of not less than $4,355,000 this season.
 Game Destroyers.
 '"The negroes of this state were erst- while the greatest game destroyers ex- tant. These have practically quit hunt ing and have discarded their firearms. AS you can readily see, this adds to the peace and comfort of the people of Ala bama in more ways than one.
 "The people of this state have recog- nized the fact that we have let many of our most valuable assets go to waste not only in matters. of game birds. but forests as well. Hence realizing the inn perative importance of making a strenu- ous effort to save what we have left, they seem to be very much interested in the inforcement of the laws relating to the preservation of the game, the fish and forests

Montgomery, December 16.-(Special)- State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. Wallace, Jr. is in receipt of com munication from MT Caspar Whitney, editor and owner of the "Outing' niaga zine of New York, which is perhaps one of the most prominent magazines pub lished in the county on the subjects of sports, recreation and outdoor life; in which Mr. Whitney requests MT. Wallace to inform him relative to the workings of the game law system of Alabama, which is attracting attention all over the nation. In response to this letter MT Wallace addressed MT. Whitney as follows:
 up to February. 1907, we have had only local laws in Alabama for the preser vation and protection of the game birds and animals of this state. These statutes were signal failures for the reason that they were never inforced and were open ly and notoriousy violated by practically everyone.
 Recognizing the fact that speedy and efficient legislation was imperative in order to preserve the remnant of game and birds in this state from extermina- ton, the last legislature passed general game law, creating the department of game and fish and duly installing game warden service. No law is auto matic. Unless there is a specially con- stituted corps of officers to inforce 8 law it will remain a dead letter on the statute books.
 Has Excellent Laws.
 Practically every sportsman and game protectionist in the state has secured hunters license and these are standing up and standing out strong in favor of our most excellent laws. l believe that fully 90 per cent of the violations have been prosecuted. There has been 136 prosecutions under the game law and 12S convictions, which demonstrates the fact that there is a most substantial this statute.
 provement in the game and bird situation of every hand. Even the sympathies of the women of the state have been en- listed and their cooperation has been extended in restricting the use of birds and feathers for ornamental purposes. Within the last year bird life in this state has increased not less than 20 per cent and the outlook is most encouraging The people seem ready to inform on those who violate the laws and are eager to extend evidence in the courts that will bring the miscreants to justice.

WILL ENFORCE NEW
 CHILD LABOR LAW
OPERATORS AT HUNTSVILLE ARE GLAD TO BE RELIEVED OF THE NECESSITY OF EMPLOYING CHILDREN IN THEIR MILLS.

Huntsville, December 16.-(Special.)- )- Managers of the cotton mills in Hunts vile are making arrangements to put the new anti-child labor law of Alabama in effect on January l. The law forbids the employment of children under 12 years of age and limits the work of chil- dren over that age and under IA 10 50 hours per week. The operation of the law, which will be enforced in it's strict est letter by the mills here, will cut six hours per week off of the operating time in several departments.
 Cotton mill men as rule are pleased with the new law. They have only em- ployed children under compulsion, that being necessary in order to hold many of the families that work in their mills, and they are glad to have relief come to them in the form of the new child labor law.
 One of them speaking of the matter today said:
 "rhe employment of children is all risk and no profit. We are glad that we will not be compelled to employ children of the families that come to us in the fu- ture In the past we have been doing this only to keep our operatives with us"

TAINTED MONEY IN SELMA
Summerfield orphanaee Refuses To Accept Money Secured In the Raf- fling of Mexican Burro.
 w. S. Purifoy Dies.

Selma, December 16.-(Special.) )-Selma's chances for baseball this summer will be determined tomorrow, at the meeting of the Cotton States league, which is to be held in Gulfport, Miss. The Selma fans will have a representative at the meet ing and it is expected that the Mobile franchise will be awarded to Selma. This city has always been a good baseball town and with a new park and league sport it is confidently believed that when the season ends Selmas team will either be flying the pennant or will be close to the top.
 Tainted Money.
 Selma is in the throes of diminutive tainted money sensation. A citizen has a little Mexican burro that is eating it's head off and out of the charitable im- pulses of his heart he decided to get up a raffle for the little animal and do- nate the proceeds to the Summerfeld or phanage.
 This decision was reached Saturday night and Sunday mornings paper con- tained a full account of the proposition and called for volunteers to secure chances on the raffle of the burro, in sweetc harty's name. Sunday morning from not less than three pulpits an nouncements were made, at the request of the executive committee of the Sum merfield orphanage, that the proposed donation of the proceeds from the raffle was unauthorized and that they would not be received by 1t. The ministers in making the announcements neither thanked the proposed donor nor excused the publication and in fact, talked rather emphatically about the matter. The re- suit is that discussions pro and con have taken place today, it being pointed out that a simple card to the newspaper pub fishing the details, in which thanks could have been returned for the offer, but de- clining the same, would have been much more Christian-like and commendable than denuncation from the pulpits of the city
 Dies In Evergreen.
 The remains of G. l.. Crawford, whose sudden death occurred in Evergreen Sun day morning were brought to this city Saturday night and carried to the apart ments of his daughters on Selma street. This morning they were carried to Pine apple. where the interment took place.

 Saturday night at Pineapple occurred the death of w. S. Purifoy, a wealthy citizen of Wilcox county, who has large inter- ests in Selma. He was the owner of the store occupied by the Cawthon- Coleman Co.,, and by Topper Bros, and owned con- siderable other property He leaves very large estate. efs Hfz Had To Have Interpreter.
 Sunday night from the lumber camp near McWilliams in Wilcox county, was brought to a local infirmary an Italian woman in a very serious condition She was accompanied by her husband and another man, but neither of the three could speak a word of English. The physicians were at a loss for a time as to how to treat her, but finally an inter- preter was found and sne was given
