SUNDAY FISHING LAW
PASSED ON SUNDAYM

ATLANTA, Aug. 11.-After the
passage of many years a humorous
ghost with a hshy smile has ariseis
from its grave to haunt the Georgia
legislature. This is a story that will
interest everybody but particularly
the man who used to play hockey
from Sunday School to go fishing.
For several years now the law has
been enforced in Georgia that it is
misdemeanor to fish, even with
hook and line on Sundays. Not the
most secluded spot. not even mans
own meadow bottom, is considered
an excuse for violation of this law.
1t was passed many years ago and
a member of the senate in that year
who was in Atlanta this morning, re-
called with friends the old-time do,
ings lat the capitol, remembered the
startling fact, which he says has never
before been published, that the law
to prevent fisherman from breaking
the Sabbath, was passed by the leg
islature at four o'clock on Sunday
morning!
1t was one of the final nights at
the CAPITOL when the legislature anx,

business Before adjourning kepr
