When a crowd of down homers
iere at the state capital some time
ago we heard some of them saying
tii t Elizabeth City in many res
pects would compare very favorably
with Rale'gh. It might help some
of us to take a look at what Raleigh
has contributed to the Woodrow
Wilson cimpaign fund.
A LITTLE CONSIDERATION
The hunting s Von is now on
and the whir ot wings of the qmil
and the i ark of the sportsman's gun
will 8' on be beard in wood and anil
field.
before the days when the claims
Of a- country newspaper had mort
gaged hs time, the editor of The
Advance, duiing the hunting season
pent a fourth of his time with his
gun' and his dog learning the ways
the wisdom of Old Bob White. This
paper has, therefore, a keen feeling
Of fellowship for the sportsman In
general and for the quail hunter In
particular.
But Elizabeth City is a rather
large town and the number of quail
fhooterg here Is something fear
some to eee. The quail is a valuable
bird to the farmer and there Is
mall wonder that the farmers I n
this vicinity have pract'cally all post
d their land. This does not mean
that they would put stop to quail
booting altogether, for the farmer
knows that the shooting of a few
quail during he hunting season
will not prevent the coveys that
inn on h s land from due increase
and multlpication.
But the farmer would like to sa.y
Who shal! and who shall not go on
bis land to hunt and he wants as
well to regulate th number w '
kill his quail. Of course. If he wish
es to, he has the undoubted right
to forbid hunting altogether on his
Utndl, but we know of few farmers
Who do tb's.
Borne of the farmers, however,
Who only desire to prevent undeslr
. able or reckless, persons from shoot
lng on their land and t0 see that
o many hunters do not get after
their quail that the birds will be ex
terminated beyond the safety point
for propagation next year, complain
of lack of consideration on the part
Of the Elizabeth City sportsmen.
Posted signs have been town down,
advantage has been taken ot a
farmer's absence from home, and In
these and other ways the patience
ef the farmer has been sorely tried.
Farmers nosr E'isabeth City re
getting together this year to eee If
they cannot protect themselves a
gainst wanton anj wilful trespassers
,nd ask the co-operation of their
friends in the city.
If you go a liuntlng this season it
Will be more neighborly and more
safe to get permission from the far
Iner in every instance before you1
bunt his land.
