rate appropriation for the office OF
the State Game Warden. IL this sit
uation the State Conservation Com
mission, which was entrusted with
the supervision of the Game and Fish
Department, came to our rescue, and
the portsmen, gunners and fishing
interests owe this Department
debt of gratitude.
If YOU recall, IN December OF 1912,
there was a public meeting OF the
sportsmen and others interested in
game ard fish protection in this coun-
ty, held in the room below the one
we are using tonight, and at that
meeting the Dorchester County Game
amid Fish Protective Association was
o1sanizcd. ! WAS eiee;eu president
an honor which i have always appre-
ciated. and / want TO assure you that
| served your interests to the best OF
my ability, having, at all times, the
interest OF game and fish protection
at heart. / remained your president
until the election of February, 1918,
when, owing to business activities,
and my recognition of the fact that
there was some opposition to the
Statewide Hunters License System,
for which l had stood at all times,
and used the weight of my influence,
| | declined a denomination. l had
been actively identified with the
movement for this Statewide System
since 1907, and when our organlZa-
ton was formed it endorsed this
proposition, and turned over to the
, Maryland State Game and Fish AS
ISOLATION a petition from Dorchester
county containing the names OF oV-
er 1000, many of them those OF men
most prominently identified with the
sporting interests.
Tonight l stand before you, after
having seen the Statewide System In
stituted in MARYLAND, and confident
in the knowledge that my views upon
: the subject. so frequently expressed
in years gone by, have been JUSTIFIED
| to the fullest extent. There is not a
single county in the State but that
will get more game for propagation
under the Statewide Law than I'M
der the old county system, and more
than that, the game has been more
efficiently protected at all times.
The same kind of law, SO similar
! in many respects as to be almost
Identical, is working well in forty
four States, Maryland making the
| forty-fifth out of the entire forty
eight States in the Union, to adopt
the Statewide System, and the State
! of Delaware is so well pleased with
/ the workings OF the Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Maryland laws, that
it is asking it's Legislature at the
present session tc pass a similar law.

splendid work in Dorchester county

and l have learned with very sincere
regret that there has been some talk

mistake.

Joe Wilson Killed.

Boiled down, a history of the
killing of Joe Wilson, colored, is
as follows, as pieced together by
Chief Braswell:
On Wednesday night a week
ago, Aug. 10th, Mr.. Parsons
came to Hamlet from Durham
and registered at the Terminal
hotel. Thursday morning it is
said he hired Joe Wilson, a col
ored boy about 16 years old, to
drive him to Childress store near
Hannah Pickett. They returned
to Hamlet about 10 o'clock, and
then Parsons hired the boy to
carry him to Cognac. At this
juncture, a boy named George
Ross asked the boy to let him
ride as far as Pine street, so he
could deliver some clothes. This
Wilson agreed to do; when Ross
got out at Pine street, he remark.
ed to Wilson that if he would
wait till he delivered the clothes
| he would go with him to Cognac.
So the boy delivered the clothes,
but when he returned to the car,
the driver told him that he
couldn't 60 as he would have a
load coming back. Evidently,
Parsons had spoken to him in
the meantime. A citizen of Hoff
nan saw the car with Wilson and
Parsons in it pass that towr
Iabout II or thereabouts. He
identified Parsons by a fancy
| shirt he wore. That is the las
seen of the two together.

18th, a young white mar
