dying this defect and supply a; long
felt public need.
1t is the opinion of Mr. Council that
the expense necessitated in the reno
walton of the city hall, according to
the plans which are now in course of
preparation by City Engineer Ansley
will be fully repaid by the increased
convenience that will be given to all
who use the city hall. especially the
members of the fire department, who
now occupy part of the second floor as
sleeping quarters. Only one contract
has so far been awarded. This was
given to the Kruger Manufacturing
Co, of Atlanta, and is for the supply
ing of the grill work and hardwood
fixtures for the interior of the offices
The other contracts will be awarded
within the course of a week or ten
days. There will probably be as many
as three or four firms who will share
in the contracts that are given out.

Il have enjoyed some exceptionally
good sport on the days that l have
been out said Mr.. Walter Maynard.
one of the enthusiastic sportsmen of
Americus yesterday, in talking about
game conditions during the season
then closing.
my experience has been that doves
and quail have been more plentiful
than for some seasons past. The law
2 d the weather both helped to bring
This about. The many long rainy
spells threw natural protection
around the birds, bringing the, shoot
ing of them to a cessation for days at
time AS a result, more of them
are left for breeding purposes than
for years past. Many of them will mi
CRATE to other sections, where the
game is not so plentiful, and the state
as whole will be better supplied with
birds next winter than for a long time
past.

years. continued Mr. Maynard. amy
dealer in supplies will tell you that. 7
srrrose there is more black powder,
and more cartridges. carried over in
stock than has been the case at tha
crd of any season il. recent years. The.
1ioonco Ne
ting permission before shooting on
any mans lands, and the fear of be-
ing brought up in court for violations
of the law, have served to keep hun
dreds of negroes from cunning who
in the past have killed off many birds.
and have likewise lead many white
sportsmen not to indulge to the same
extent in the sport as in past seasons.
There has been very little inclination
apparently to defy or evade the pro-
visions of the law by either whites or
: negroes. 1t has been demonstrated
! that game laws can be enforced. The
, provision against baited fields has had
} a very beneficial effect, and there have
been few wholesale slaughters of
) doves as a result All in all, I should
[ say that sport has been put on de-
cidedly higher level by the law, and
/ while it doubtless has some defects it's
: whole effect has been of a highly ben
4 eficial nature. AS result of it, and
: the weather conditions, the outlook for
the game season of 1928 is very
fine. l think it is safe to predict an
Unusually large supply of birds at that
time"

SAVED DOVES
SLAUGHTER LESS this YEAR
Only -Four Big Dove Shoots
Reported in Sumter

There were only four slaughters of
doves in the territory tributary to
Americus during the game season that
closed yesterday This statement is
made on the authority of local gun
ners who keep posted on what is 60
ing on in that line.
In former seasons, before the ex-
listing law went on the statute books,
it was not uncommon for scores of
shoots to be held, with baited fields,
to draw the doves, and on nearly ev-
cry one of such occasions the number
of birds killed has been claimed to
run up toward the thousand mark, or
even away above, although there has
doubtless been much exaggeration as
to the actual number slaughtered Oh
such gala days.
But dove shoots under the old con-
ditions have been done away with
