FISH AND GAME.
We have examined the books of the
Game Warden of the county and fine
it correct and neatly kept. His re
port we attach as a part of the re
port of this body We especially wish
to call attention to the recommends
tions made in his report as to the
changes to be made in the existing
law, in regard to the killing of mi
gratory duck, marsh hens, woodcocks
plover, etc; also his recommends
lions as to the license for hunting in
the district. We ask that this body
make the necessary request to our
representative that the changes as
specified by he Game Warden may
be made SO that the law may be per-
fected,
The law in regard to fish and oys-
tiers is a good one, but sadly deficient
in its execution, as pointed out by
the Warden. We would recommend
that special warden be appointed to
this county to deal with this class of
offenders and sufficient funds be pro-
vided to enforce the law Fish and
oysters are a valuable asset to this
county and should receive proper pro-
lection SO that the supply may not

The report made to our body by
P. NJ. Golden, warden, is submitted
as follows:
''In rendering this first report to
your body under the states new game
law, l would call your attention to
the warden's register, showing num-
her and kind of hunters license is
sued. This register is kept by the
clerk of the court. There are at pres
ent 250 licenses entered in this reg
lister. sold in Glynn county. Since
last entry was made there have been
probably a dozen additional licenses
sold. Total receipts have been ap-
proximately $4,000 of which about
three-fourths has been RENTED to the
State Game Commissioner to become
a part of the state protective fund,
the purpose of which l presume you
are familiar.
II would recommend, and UNDER
stand Mr.. Mercer has appointed the
following named persons as deputy
wardens in Glynn county:
Frederick, Chas. Taylor.
everett City, II. w. Manning.
'Bladen, 2. F. Lewis
brunswick, r F. D., E. F. Taylor.

Fancy Bluff, R. M. Scarlet.
brunswick, R. F. D., A. J. Turner.
"Brobston, j. B. Jones,

Hines.
The only violations, or reported
violations of this law brought to trial
were the State VS.. J. B. Jones and
Irvine Strickland, charged with hunt
ing on lands of another without per
mission. A record of this case is also
shown in the register. Suffice to say
however, a verdict Of not guilty was
received.
Several of the wardens named
above, notably E. F. Taylor and H. w
Manning, have been very attentive to
their duties indeed, and are continual
" on the lookout for violations of the
act.
For a month prior to the opening
Of he hunting season myself and
one of the deputies were almost con-
tinually in the woods around through
the county on the lookout for viola
tions of the law, particularly as to
shooting out of season, and none OF
US found anything authentic in the
various rumors of violations Of this
character going on; in fact, l may
say that in this immediate section
do not believe there was bird killed
It was only on one or two occasions
even that we heard the report or a
gun. secured special duty permits
on several occasions for the Services
of a deputy to run down rumors Of
his sort, always to find There was
nothing in them
"The hunters and sportsmen Of thi;
county think. are particularly law
abiding lot as regards shooting on
Of season, and with due respect for all
provisions Of the act and for the past
two months have not had a viola
ton Of any character reported in thu
way Of killing game out OF season,
1un';ng without permits or without
license, etc. etc. The law Of George
now prohibits The killing Of robins and
on he FIRST fight Of these birds here
