MERCER ET|RES
AS STATE GAME
GUARDIAN
Commissioner Presented With
Fine Token by Wardens-C. |.
Davis Takes Office Saturday.

State Game Commissioner Jesse
Mercer, of Fitzgerald, to-day closes
his term of service, and tomorrow
/ will turn over his high office to his
successor, Charles L. Davis. of Warm
Springs.
About noon to-day Commissioner
\ Mercer was presented with a hand
some silver loving cup, a gift from
1.-THE various county wardens, all ap-
pointees of Mr. Mercer, as an evil
dence of their high esteem and af-
lection personally and officially.
Mr.. Mercer was overcome with
emotion when the loving cup was
presented. and responded feelingly to
the words Of the donors, delivered
through a committee especially Sc
lected
Mr.. Mercer leaves his office after
little more than two years of serv-
ice witll a record of which his friends
are immensely proud.
He was the first Game Warden the
/, State ever had. having been named
by Governor Holle Smith, after the
enactment of the law setting up the
department.
Mercer started with nothing to work
upon, but tomorrow he will turn
over to his successor $15,07S in cash,
and he has paid all the expenses of
his department during the two years.
Besides this, he has paid into the
common school fund $3,0S3.72.
Served Without Salary.
In addition he leaves more than
$4,000 worth of property in the hands
of his successor.
Altogether, Mr.. Mercer says the
State is more than $4,000 ahead be-
cause of the creation, of his depart
ment, and every county is thoroughly
and compactly organized for the en-
forcement Of the law and the pro-
lection of game.
For more than a year Mr.. Mer-
GER served without salary in the de-
partment, as the Legislature in Great
ing the department neglected orig
inally to provide a salary or an eX-
pense account. Mercer managed
somehow. and eventually the Legis-
lature reimbursed him for his per-
sonal expenditures.
In retiring Mr.. Mercer talked en-
Enthusiastically OF the help accorded to
him by his official force, and espe-
cially in regard to the work of his
treasurer, Delemar Turner.
"E3e has been my friend and asso-
ciate for years." said Mr.. Mercer. He
Is reliable to the last degree, faithful
and loyal His salary never has been
what it should have Been, but he has
not grumbled. l feel under everlast-
ing obligations to him"
Will Take Vacation.
Mr.. Mercer declined to discuss his
plans for the future. He says he
has several proposals under consid-
Grafton, but VIII make up his mind
definitely concerning none of them
until later. For the present his pur-
pose is to take a short vacation
Mr. MERGERS term of office really
expired September 1, but he was per
mitted by Governor Slaton to serve
longer. as there were some few things
he wished to carry out before retir-
ing, and of these plans the execu-
tive approved.
Charles l.. Davis, who succeeds Mr.
Mercer tomorrow, is one the best
known men in Georgia. He is recog-
nized generally as the father of the
State game laws" having been in
a large measure responsible for the
present law, under which Mr. Mercer

Punishment easily can be found in
requiring tasks of children, or de-
priving them of something which
they otherwise might have enjoyed.
The best punishment is that which
can naturally be related in the mind
of the child to the offense which has
been committed.
