SOME VANDALISM AND LAWLESS-
NESS.

The reports that are current now
concerning the violation of the game
laws of Georgia with regard to the
matter of trapping fish and the SEEMING
and dynamiting of streams and ponds
is one concerning which the general
public should feel a vital interest.
So general are the rumors and re-
ports that are heard concerning these
alleged fragrant violations of the law
that it is well for the public to be in
formed concerning them, whether
they are true or not; for if they are
found to be true there is imperative
need of their being corrected, while if
they are not true there can come no
harm from a rigid investigation that
will at least serve to let possible Of
Tenders know that the public and pub
lie officials are interested in the pro-
lection and conservation of fish and
other game.
1t is understood that the grand jury
of Sumter county will have presented
to it at its session next week charges
concerning the Illegal trapping Of fish
in nearby waters. Though the state
law in regard to this form Of catching
fish is liberal, there seem to have been
fragrant violations of it in this county
1t is doubtless true that during the
present fishing season SEEMING has been
done in Sumter county in violation OF
| the law. There are also reports given
on what is apparently good authority
that the dynamiting of fish has been
employed in waters very close to Sum
ter county if not within the county
proper
The catching of fish illegally by
means of traps and seines is suffici-
emily bad to bring down upon its per
petrators the condemnation of al
citizens who respect and obey the law
but the killing of fish by means of dyn-
amite is vandalism and lawlessness OF
the most malicious type. No true
sportsman can gain his consent tC
slaughter fish by means of dynamite
It's viciousness is characterized moi
only by the killing of thousands o
edible fish which can never be utilized
but also by the annihiliation of myr
lads of smaller fish and even fis2
spawn.
1t is to be hoped that none of tn,
streams and ponds of Sumter count.
have been the object of such unsports
manlike and fragrant violations of tn
law. 1t is we'll however that the mat
ter be given careful consideration a
this time. If the dynamiting of ifs
has been carried on in adjacent coun
ties, it is likely to spread into Sumte
county, as such lawlessness is indee
l infectious. There seems but littl
doubt that illegal trapping and seinin
of fish has been carried on within tn
county recently. If there is any has
! of truth for these rumors and report
it would be well that they be duly an
thoroughly investigated. The action {
the grand jury with respect to thes
things will be awaited with interest.

I never had a happier time,
And ! am foTty-three,
Than one midsummer afternoon,
When it was May with me;
Lies fragrant May,
And Saturday,
and you came out with me TO play;
And up and down the garden walks,
Among the towering beans,
We produly walked and tossed ouI
heads
And played that we were queens,
Thrice prudent soyerigns, we made
The diadems We wore,
And fashioned for our royal hands
The sceptres which they bore;
But Queen Bees
Had surely less
Than we of proud self-consciousness,
While wreaths of honeysuckle hung
Around her rosy neck,
And turfs of marigOld looped up
My gown, a bingham check.
Our chosen land was parted out,
Like IsraePs, by lot;
My kingdom, from the garden wall
Reached to the strawberry plot;
The onion bed,
The beet-tOps red,
The corn which waved above my head
The gooseberry bushes, hung with
fruit,
The wandering melon-vine,
The carrots and the cabbages,
Nf thnr TOinpi
Beneath the cherry-tree was placed
Your throne, a broken chair;
Your realm was narrower than mine
But it was twice as fair;
Tall hollyhocks,
And purple phlox,
land time-observing r-o'clocks,
Blue lavender, and candyturf,
And pink and white sweet peas,
Your loyal subjects waved their head
In every passing breeze.
Oh. gay and prosperous was our reig
Till we were called to. tea
But years since then have come an
gone,
And | am forty-three!
Yet, journeying
On rapid wing,
Time has not brought, and canno
bring,
For you or me, happier day
Than when, among the beans,
We proudly walked and tossed on
heads,
And fancied we were queens.
