SUCCESS OF NEW GAME LAW

SUCCESS OF NEW GAME LAW
Editor The Georgian:
The new game law of Georgia
has proved a success. Jesse Mer-
Ger, the state game warden de-
serves the honor for this good re-
suit. Not only has the law pro-
teeted the game and fish, resulting
in the greatest abundance of both,
bat the protecting machinery has
made its own expenses and has
$15,SO1.7S in the bank to the state
credit.
MI Mercer asserts and the facts
bear out his assertion, that the adj
ministration of the office has been
definitely economical not nearly
one-half of the revenues having
been expended for putting the Ia"
into effect and for its execution
For this splendid result the state
has not been taxed one cent and
the department will be able TO con-
tribute to the school fund whence
the excess of the collected funds
goes.
MI Mercer calls attention 10 the
fact that the law has been popu-
lar generally with the people. and
that only one clause has been mich
criticised that for the protection
Of field lalks. He claims that the
farmers do not like the field larks
and want to have the privilege or
shooting them out of their crops
He also say the people in genera
want to shoot robins about Christ
mas time. whereas the law finds
no open season for robins
The state warden stresses the
fact that while Georgia has gen.
e,ally been in the forefront NJ
other reforms for the people. she
has Jagged behind in the respec,
to the protection of her game ana
fish until now, and that Georgia
will soon be abreast Of the time

modern exploration, which seeks

The Education Of the
Vote
Observation-Disclosures
Prosperity Is Not Dependent Upon
the Election of President
BY THOMAS TAPER.

a GOOD many earnest people
~ Try to convince US that Pros
perity depends entirely on
who happens to be president of the
United States
When Populism was rioting
through Kansas in 1895. like q
cyclone, William Allen White wrote
an editorial on the movement, in
which he begged to suggest to the
Kansan that he raise more crops
and less hell"
When citizens get down to bust
ness and raise crops Prosperity
takes care of itself: when they
begin to raise the other thing. it is
impossible even for the president of
the United States to take care of
Prosperity
The. Crop is the thing Any man
who devotes his days to industry
is crop raiser. If he cares for his
money. manages himself and his
household on wise and economic
basis, he will be prosperous. When.
by careful management. he has
been able to set aside ten dollar
bill for deposit in the savings bank.
The name of the president of the
United States is not likely to enter
his mind while he is waiting for
the return of his bank book. He
is probably pleased to know that
he has so ordered his affairs as to
have the money for deposit And
if he thinks further he may real
ize that while Prosperity in gen
eral is talked of a great deal and
freely argued. it does him no good
until he finds the perspiration of
hard work and careful manage
ment strea ming down his own face.

Artesian Well Drilling Was
Successful

With a flow of SO IL gallons per
or 1920 gallons per hour, the
artesian we'll recently completed for
Mr.. L..G. Council upon the Windsor
hotel property is a success, and one
of the best of the many fine wells in
Americas. The new water service for
the hotel will be turned on this morn
ing.
Mr. Council is we'll pleased at the
success attending the undertaking to
get artesian water there, as is Mr..
James, the contractor, who did he
work. The well has a depth of little
more than five hundred feet. The wa
ter rises to point near the surface
and is lifted by air pressure into the
large tank that will supply the hotel
1t requires less than two hours to
put 10000 gallons of water in the tank,
from which it will be distributed
throughout the building. The pumping
is attended with but very little cost, as
it is done with the same power that is
otherwise employed there.

On June goth, the Georgia Teachers
association will meet at Cumberland
Island for their annual convention.
Coming as it does in the heated
summer season and at a time when
hundreds of tired school teachers
throughout the state are needing rest
and recreation, this meeting at the
cool seashore offers a delightful out
ing. Then, too, Cumberland Island /;
not only historic spot, but possesses
other attractions for summer tourists.
One can enjoy the most delightful surf
bathing on Cumberland's beautiful
beach, which is said to be the safest
beach on the Atlantic coast
Fishing and boating are excellen'
and the Georgia teachers who go will
be amply repaid. The cost of the trip
is very nominal, and the rates will be
published soon. Every teacher in the
state owes it to herself or himself to
take such an outing. Certainly no
class of professional workers deserve
such trip more than the teachers. At
cumberland tired nerves get properly
lttuned, rudy sun-tan brings health
o the tired body, and one can rest or
play to their hearts content.
