Wallace Galloway Says Hunting Bill
Not Intended To Set Closed Season
1 . . «
While County Game Warden E. R.
Galloway will not definitely com
mit himself as to future policies in
regard to arrest of hunters, it is
known that he highly disfavors the
local law which makes it illegal to
hunt any type game before Novem
ber 20.
M. W. Galloway, representative
from Transylvania in the 1933 ses
sion of the legislature, states em
phatically that the bill passed and
now on the statute books to the ef
fect that it is unlawful to hunt any
kind of gapie before Nov. 20 is an
error insofar as intent of the bill
was concerned at the time of its
passage ir. the legislature.
Representative Galloway states
that the bill was passed during the
last few hours of the last day of the
session, and that intent of the meas
j ure was to outlaw foxes, and was
| passed with the clause as to open
I season on other game unbeknownst
! t° him- .. , . ,
jar. viaiiowny «Ajiiauicu —
j member from Cumberland county
! who presented the bill was a member
i of the game committee in the leg
Mature, and approached him just
! before closing hour of the last day
[of the legislature and asked if the j
Transylvania representative would |
! not like his county included in a bill |
which he was having passed for his
county, making open season on foxes
the year round. Foxes, the Cumber
land member of >the house is said to
have told Mr. Galloway, are a men
ace to small game and birds, and
for this reason no closed season
should be allowed on the animals.
Mr. Galloway states that the bill
as presented briefly (not road) by
the Cumberland member, appeared to
be in keeping with his idea for pro
tection of game, and he readily con
sented to having Transylvania added
to the bill. In the last minute rush,
Mr. Galloway states that he did not
take time to read the entire bill, tak
ing it for granted that the bill was
for the outlawing of foxes only, as
the Cumberland representative had
stressed only this point.
However, after the bill was passed
on a suspension of rules, without
reading, and sent by special messen
ber to the senate, it was discovered
that it also contained a provision to
the effect that the counties effected
by the measure would have an open
season only from Nov. 20 to Feb. 20,
during which time it would be legal,
under the provisions of the bill, to
take any kind of game, including
doe deer if one were so minded.
Eight men were iriea oeiore
Magistrate T. T. Loftis last week on
charges of hunting deer out of sea
son, the charges being brought by
County Game Warden Galloway. At
this hearing, held on the Patton club
property, Wallace Galloway testified
as to real intent of the bill under
which the charges were brought, and
after hearing evidence in the case
Magistrate dismissed the men with
out fine or costs. Judge D. L. Eng
lish appeared for the defendants.
An opinion from the attorney gen
eral’s office several weeks ago stated
that the local law was binding, and
District Game Warden Bradshaw
stated that he had instructed his
wardens to arrest hunters violating
provisions of the local bill. As passed
the bill makes the open season from
Nov. 20 to Feb. 20, while the state
regulations for this district open the
squirrel season Oct. 1 and the deei
season Oct. 15. _
Large Potatoes Brought To The Times Office
Some o’ this and some o’ that found
its way into The Times office last
week, with twins and large potatoes
being in greater evidence.
Twin walnuts were brought in by
Pat Hamlin of East Main street,
while twin apples were brought by
Allen Smith of the Brevard Park
section.
A seven-leaf clover was found by
Harry Stroud, this being unusual for
clover, four being least bit out of
the ordinary. In the bunch where the
seven-leaf was found, were also two
four-leaf stems.
Two big sweet potatoes, each of
them weighing over five pounds are
also on display for a few days, after
which they will go the way of all
good potatoes—into a pie. Sam
Brown of R-three brought in a big
fellow that weighed five pounds six
ounces, while Carl Talley of Penrose
went Mr. Brown a little better, his
potato weighing five pounds eight
ounces.
Two freak sweet potatoes were
sent in by T. S. Williams of the
Enon section, one of them having all
the appearances of a turkey gob
bler, and the other closely resembling
a seal.
1 George Hayes reports a maple
tree in bloom at the old Transyl
vania Hospital place on Broad street,
the bloom appearing to be of the
same nature as those seen in the
springtime. Mr. Hayes says that
; this is the first case of this kind he
I has ever witnessed.

A. M. W'hite of Rosman also re
ports a large sweet potato, weighing
four pounds, one ounce.

ELECTRIFICATION
SURVEY POSSIBLE
Transylvania is one of the few
counties in the state that is not re

tion. Under plans going forward in
other counties, the relief office fui
nishes labor for construction of lines,
where right of way and patrons as
sist in the work.
In a letter to Ralph Waldrop of
Brevard R-3, which is carried below,
the statement is made that a survey
will be made if there is sufficient
interest shown. The letter follows.
“Mr. Ralph Waldrop,
“Route 3, Brevard, N. C.
“Dear Sir: „
“Your letter to Mrs. Thomas
O’Berry has been referred to me for
an answer. I am sorry to have to
inform you that Transylvania county
is not included in the 75 counties in
which the Rural Electrification Sur
vey is being conducted. This is large
ly due to the very few requests we
have received from Transylvania
county, yours being the second re
quest received.
If there are at least five separate
communities in Transylvania county
which would have access to a distri
bution line extension and on which
there would be an average of not less
than six customers per mile, it is
| possible that we might be able tc
j have a man from a nearby county
make the survey when he finishes in
! his own county. The proposed cus
j tomers would also have to be willing
rnd able to contribute to the build
ling of the line. The survey is so far
l advanced at this time that I cannot
I give you a more definite promise
| than this.
“Very tvul',' yours,
“C. W. BURTON?,
