AN APPEAL
TO THE SP0RTSMEN, FARMERS AND ALL
CITIZENS OF WEST VIRGINIA:

desire to appeal to you all, to
help protect the bob white
through the winter months.
The past two weeks of cold
weather, with the ground covered
with crusted snow, makes it very
difficult for these birds to procure
food and shelter. An old brush
heap or fodder shock, will afford
sufficient shelter, and if you will
throw a few hands full of buckwheat
or other small grain, in their roost-
ing place, it will save them from
Starvation.
Data collected from every county
in the State, proves that we have
FIVE times as many birds as we have
had at any one time, during the past
twenty years. In two years more,
at the present rate of increase, West
Virginia will have more oftheSe birds,
than any state in the Union if we
can protect them through the winter.
Many states have appropriated
money, to enable their game depart
ment to assist in this work, but until
this is done by our own State, we
must depend upon the people to do
this work from an esthetic and
humanitarian standpoint.
To the sportsmen, who loves to
hear the whir Of this little creatures
brown wings, the farmer and horti-
%culturist, whose crops it will protect
by destroying insects, and to all
nature loving citizens of Vest Vir-
ginia, implore you to see to it
that not u single bob white is
allowed to perish from cold or starva-
ton.

Forest, Game and Fish Warden.

Repeated inquiries having been
made ofus as to what fee would be
paid the attorneys for instituting
and defending the suits to be
brought by the parish and suits
brought against it by the Terrebone
Land Co., or Wisner & Dressner,
we quote from the official procee-
dings for the benefit of our readers.
The attorneys were already paid for
looking up the title to the lands
the sum OF Four Hundred Dollars.
they are to receive for work in the
suits Five Hundred Dollars, regard

A Court decision of some impor-.
tance was one rendered a few days
ago in Calcasieu, when the Town
of Jennings was cast in a suit in
which judgment was rendered
against it for $2650. The suit was
caused by injuries which resulted in
the death of young child. The
parents brought suit and after a
long legal battle were awarded judg-
ment in the above amount, whether
same will stand is Yet to be seen,
bnt there is every reason to believe
that it will.
The amount is small in way to
the parents who suffered the loss OF
the child, but the precedent estab-
lished will tend to have municipali-
ties more careful and watchful. 1t
seems the young child received the
injuries which caused its death by
being precipitated and receiving in
ternal injuries from a rotten plank
in sidewalk, which caused its fall.
The town was aware of the condi-
ton of the walk and neglected TO
have it repaired until after the in

The sugar planters of this section
of the state who met at Donaldson
vile two weeks ago last week placed
their complaints before the Attorney
General and according to press re,
ports were in conference with him
for over an hour. The planters are
complaining about the manipulation
of the price of molasses by purcha-
sers who combine and so regulate
the price that it is kept down to the
detritment of the manufacturer and
afterwards the price goes up again.
In other words the planters are
going after big game by seeking to
get the Intermediates first, that is
the middle trust. the molasses trust.
The question of the greatest
moment is whether the anti trust
laws of this good Democratic state
are sufficiently effective to do away
or put stop to combinations in res
traint of trade. The only law on
the statute books seems to be the
one of 1892, and all admit it does
not go far enough. The Attorney
General has repeatedly attempted
to have a good law covering such
cases enacted, but he has been frus-
trated each time and the proposed
Legislation died ou the calendar.
