Inclosed you will find the law
as to the use of dynamite and
other explosives, as well as 9th
er provisions for the protection
of fish and game. These extracts
were handed to be by Judge
Richbourg, and it would be we'll
to publish them. A great many
people may be ignorant of the
ample protection that is thrown
around the fish Of the country.
While those who are perpetrat-
ing the outrages may get a
wholesome warning by perusing
the law.
It would seem to us, if you
will pardon the expression OF
opinion, that the matter is in the
hands of the owners of the ad-
iacent lands, and those who are
fond of the sport of fishing. The
dealers, it would seem might
read with profit also.

ANOTHER LINK GONE.

The dark. and. in many respects. dis tory of the reconstruction period Is little more than a dim memory to the present generation. Even those who witnessed and suffered all that was done in those brief years when malice, hatred and sectional bitterness ruled. and justice and fairness were sent to the rear, have to a great extent put away the memories of that time--a time which, let us hope, will never again prevail in any part of these United States. We do not know that 1t Is incumbent on the people of the South either to forget or forgive the horrible experiences through which they passd when, with hands tied and heads bowed. they were forced to sub init to whatever indignities. and they were many, put on them by those whose power was practically absolute and who hesitated not to use 1t.
 But while, we repeat, we are not called on to forget or forgive all that occurred. 1t is none the less true that the passage of more than one-third of a century since foreign rule ceased in the South has served to blot out and retire most of the bitter memories of the period. and to enable us to look back on 1t as one dimly remembers horrible dream after the bright sun awakens him to a realization of all the good that Is about him.
 Occasionally, something occurs to bring back reconstruction days for at least a brief moment. Such was the announcement d day or two ago in the newspapers of the death in Albion, N. r.. of Rufus B. Bullock, the recon struction Governor of Georgia. Though Northern born, he served in the Con- federate army, and this fact made the feeling against him all the more bitter when the carpet-baggers. with the help of reconstructed" Georgians and new ly -enfranchised negroes, placed him in the Executive char. The true South erners had more patience and charity for Northern Union soldier who came down here to get office and spells than they did for one who had served the Confectionery and then joined the spoil CTS of their people and country. For such there was no forgiveness in those days.
 It is not easy or profitable to go into an estimate of Governor Bullock. or to inquire into his conduct or private character. Perhaps he was a much better man than he was looked on and spoken of by those who lived under his rule as Governor The bitterness of the time has passed away and while we rejoice that 1t is gone forever. we may well afford to draw the broad mantle of charity over those who helped to make reconstruction uncomfortable. and allow them to rest in the silent tombs. free from vituperation or invectice. Rufus B: Bullock Is dead and beyond mans hatred or criticism.

Dangerous Ground.

Samson Ledger.
 A few months ago the State closed a contract with a South Alabama mill company to furnish 100 convicts. the contract price being $43 per month for each convict. Now word reaches us, from an unbiased source, that the state will demand $50 per month on the next contract.
 It seems to us that the State officials are going too far in this matter. At S43 the price is above that paid free labor and many things are to be con- sidered. The mill and turpentine men who lease the convfcts are forced to overtax them and often when one should be under the care of phy- lessee can not be blamed. He must get his money out of them or go into bankruptcy. The State is not fair enough to take a sick convict away from the camps or mills.
 Another unfair action on the part of the State is the price paid guards and wardens. The guards receive $25 all men know the wages are too small. At the present demand for honest and careful men. one can not be secured at such prices. Those who lease the convicts must of necessity pay bonus to the guards if they keep reliable men; and they can have no other. haV- ing 10 pay $200 for each escape. Any energetic and reliable man can now re- ceive from $1.50 to $3 for a days work and have none of the responsibility and danger from guarding convicts placed upon him.
 The convicts are human, tough out casts. and instead of using them sole ly as money makers, the State should act as a good guardian over them.

TUESDAY, APRIL 90, 1907.

On this page of The Advertiser is published a letter from Judge N. B. Feagin of the Inferior Court of Bir- mingham. He is deeply interested in laws regulating the punishment and treatment of criminals and especially the juvenile criminals who are hauled up in court. He states that the juvenile court law is not now in effect, and will not be until thirty days after the final adjournment of the Legislature, and when that will be no one can tell. There are other Judges however, and able lawyers, who act upon the idea that the law is now operative, and some criminals under 14 years of age are going scot free because of lack of reformatories in which to place them. This is a very serious proposition. and there ought to be some uniform rule of action about it. In this city, and in other cities, young criminals have been released because the provisions of this juvenile court law were such as to make those in authority feel that there was no other alternative.

channels for the upbuilding of our in dustries-money handled by Alabam- resources-is unjust and injurious. Even If this money Is not withdrawn the people will have to bear the burden of the heavy taxation imposed by this law, and will be drain upon them that will cripple the wheels of indus try. Large and small borrowers alike must suffer This State is dependent largely on foreign capital for its de, velopment and our law makers snoui1 exercise discretion in the matter of distributing the tax burden. Perhaps the intention of the law was to reach the "shylark" who waxes fat on cer. tain class. but the law In its present shane oyerreaches the mark and strikes down legitimate business interests.

feeling worth encouraging is a matter about which there would doubtless be wide differences of opinion.
 And yet, after all the feeling of dis- approval we may entertain over what looks like a useless waste of money, there are some redeeming features about it. All good people will admit, we have no doubt, that much of the money thus squandered on mere per- sonal adornment would be much bet ter spent if donated to works of char fty and benevolence; to helping the poor, raising the lown-trodden and helpless. and generally to making the so many ways open to all who wish to see them by which much of these mill lions that is now uselessly expended could become blessed by going to those who cannot help themselves that It seems almost sin to spend 1t on dress as Is done in all large cities.
 But looking at 1t in another way, it is hardly fair to say that 1t is all wasted. If these women were hiding their money away like misers where it could do no one any good. or if they were continually reaching out and striving to add to their pile, and spend- ing nothing more than was absolutely necessary. their money would be of little benefit to others while the owners lived. and might be curse to those who come after them. As it is, 1t Is scattered widely. Each thousand dol lars spent for fine clothing is divided and subdivided among the manufac- turers, the merchants. the carriers. the designers. the working people and all others who have anything to do with making or supplying fine clothes. Thus 1t goes into many channels and benefits many people. and thus. after all, some good may come from spending much money on fine clothes and personal ornamentation.
