Dr. Weaver of Lambs Ferry, was in De-
catur today and in an interview concern
ing the trade on the Tennessee River
said that the steamers were doing much
larger business than they had done for
many years.
Continuing he said that Lambs Ferry
was the greatest shipping point on the
Tennessee river between Chattanooga and
Cairo, III. The shipping to and from
Lambs Ferry at the present time is es-
pecially heavy. Up to March there

Lambs Ferry is only a small place about
twenty-four miles below Decatur, but 1t

"The merchants along the Tennessee

can ship freight much cheaper by river

steamer for $780, while the freight by rail

war against weeds The harmless birds of
Alabama do valiant service for the farmer
every day without pay. They destroy
thousands of tons of weeds, besides eat
ing millions of insects that have proven
destructive to agricultural interests. In
fact the economic value of the non-game
birds of the state is incalculabie.
1.-The Lacey act of Congress provides
that Immediately game birds and animals
come within a state they become subject
to the laws of that state governing the
game. This does not apply to non-game
birds, and hence it would be beyond the
power of the Alabama legislature to legis-
late against the use of feathers and skins
of birds taken without the state, unless
such birds were known as native BIRDS
of Alabama. The law would prevent kill
ing birds for this purpose in the state.
1.-The legislature has given us a most
excellent game law. also one for the pro
lection of the song and insectivorous
BIRDS and it is not the purpose of myself
or the game wardens of the state to cap
tiously attampt to deprive the iadies or
the state of a privilege that has for all
time been enjoyed by the members Of their

WOMEN MAY CONTINUE TO
WEAR BIRDS ON BONNETS

Montgomery March 20.-(Special. THE
proposition that the feathers and skins
of wild birds that are not natives of Ala
bama cannot be worn on the hats OF
ladies and canont be sold by millinery
establishments is far fetched idea and
is foreign to the true intention of the
game law of Alabama says Game and
Fish Commissioner John Wallace. While
in common, with most Alabamian's l do
not construe that the beautiful women
of our matchless state need the orna-
mentation that would be afforded by the
fancy feathers of gaudy plumaged birds,
vet if they desire this character of adorn-
ment, SO far as the game law is con-
cerned. the wishes of their hearts can
still be gratified.
"The purpose of protecting the song and
insectivorous birds of Alabama is very
plain. They are of a vast benefit to the
agricultural interests of the state. The
rroblem of weed destruction is perennial
,n every land where agrieaitsara is pran-
ticed. Indeed so serious is 1t that soil
culture may be said to be an everlasting
