BILL TO PROTECT GAME
WILL BE RE-INTRODUCED

Supporters of the game protection bill
that was introduced to the last legis-
lature, are urging that this bill be rein
troduced at the coming session and that
il be aided by all sportsmen.
Following Is an extract from letter
written by one Of the supporters of this
bill: AAAt 1888
See IL you can make noise sufficient
to awaken every man In our state who
wants 70 protect the game birds. and
get them to appeal to their representa-
tive TO get behind 1t and make it a
law: ask them to call to mind nearly
every train going out in the mornings
during the hunting season loaded with
hunters and dogs-killing every bird they
possibly can; of the strings of birds
they see in nearly every market and
restaurant during the hunting season;
don't forget the peddlers on the street;
get tab on nonresident hunting parties
camped all over south Georgia the entire
season shipping or carrying many birds
out of the state. At this rate it Is not
hard to figure just how long II will be
before game protective law will be too
late in Georgia. The proposed new law
VIII remedy this state of affairs to a
great extent. Let every man in Georgia
who likes few days with his dog and
gun get busy and remedy this slaugh-
tering business"

ROADS OF BEN HILL CO.
AMONG BEST IN STATE
In Three Years Ben Hill County
Has Built Wonderful High
ways of Natural Soil
zx zAxMUxD DANIEL.

FITZGERALD, Ca. June H-H is
doubtful If farmers of any new county
enjoy the wonderful roads that Ben
Hin farmers do. Although created only
three years ago. Ben Hill county hzss
over 100 miles of hard clay-sand roads
of which the county is justly proud.
These roads link Fitzgerald with every
part of the county. OF a hard clay and
sand. with gravel mixed in. the roads
are built of natural soil. No cement i
mixed in with the other substances.
but the roads are of natural sou and
make admirable driveways for ailtomo-
biles as well as other vehicles.
The roads dry quickly after the hard
est rains and can be used within "a min
utes after the rain has fallen. Irwin
county is also taking up the working
of the roads, having been inspired by
the great work of Ben Hill. The roads
are built from the proceeds of taxes
and have been constructed without the
issue of any special bonds.
Three years ago. when the county was
formed, there were practically no roads,
while now great highways lead from
Fitzgerald through farm lands such as
other parts of the state has never seen.

OF CA. SAY
CROPS AVERAGE HIGH

FITZGERALD. Ca, June a.-The crops
of Georgia, although off in some sections,
are on average the best In years, ac-
cording to members OF the Georgia d.
vision of the Farmers union. who are
attending the annual convention. In
some localities the conditions are not as
good as in others. but upon the whole
the crop Is good.
Long delayed rains which for a time
threatened destruction, arrived i'm time
TO save the crops and farmers are more
hopeful than ever of good crops. While
cotton in some sections is behind, in
the greater part of the state its condition
is good
In this section cotton is already lap
ping in the rows and the stand is good
Corn is also in fine shape
The pear orchards around Fitzgerald
promise a greater yield than ever. and
this section has always been one of
the greatest pear growing sections.
But if the corn and cotton crop should
fail. this section of the state can fall
back on its pecan industry.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Roots Iong-expected explanation of his
amendment to the Canadian reciprocity
bill was expected in the senate today
to give the debate on the measure the
impetus 1t has lacked up to this time.
The New York senator's amendment
deals with the reciprocal exchange on
print paper and pulp wood by the two
countries and, he as argued, the bill as
1t stands is not complete without such
an amendment. President Taft has urged
the defeat Of the amendment and il has
been charged that II would jeopardize
the entire agreement
While the senate was busily engaged
with reciprocity the house had on its
program today consideration of the joint
resolution for the direct election of sem
