Fish and Game Property of
the State, Even on Land
of Individuals *
.Initios 11, Rice, Jr., in The State.
humors some in now and then
to the effect that certain parties
claim the right to built and fiah
on their own lauds, at any time
and in any manner, whether for
bidden by law or not
This is vicious docuiuo and
proceeds from ignorauee of law
and the usage of civilized countries,
especially ot the usage of
ibe Stales throughout ihe Uniou.
In the first place, as to birds,
the act of 1905 states in the preamble:
"That all wild birds,
whether resident or migratory
in Inis ahiii 5
? ?wu?4i woj amj tiro
hereby declared to be, the
property of the State." That
settles the bird question. No
man owus them; no mau may
Rill them except at such times
aud in such manner as the laws
prescribe.
The same principle applies to
to fish and game. It was probably
true that at first the takiug
of fish aud game was a natural
right, wholly unrestrained
by law, as set torth in a learned
opinion on the subject by the
supreme court of the United
States. As the population of the
earth increased it became neces
sary to restrain this natural
right by law, in order to insure
the perpetuity of these things for
the use of fnfiir? Dona??t;?-?
- - e>vuvio\iUU?, |
In America the court declared
that fish and game belong to t lie
State, not as a proprietor, but in
its capacity as the representative
of all the people,following this up
by declaring that fish and game
are incapable of absolute ownership,
except in so far as the
State shall elect to make it so;
that fish in private pouds and
game in preserves are etili the
property of the State; that game
aftei it is killed is subject to legislative
control.
There is a line of decisions on
this point, each one bringing out
some phase of the subject, but
all adhering to the origiual principle,
namely, that fish and
game are still the property of the
State.
Reflection will show auy one
that, if this were not the case,
it would be impossible to protect
either fish or game, siuce the
land ot a Sute all belongs to indi
vid 11 ala? mt. lonae in Snnil? '
olina it does.
The exercise of this power by
the State is a well established
rule of law and there is uo possible
chance to upset it. The
exercise of the right by States
is all for the purpose of conserving
the fish and game as valuable
food supplies for the people.
In some States ponds aie not permitted
to be drained off for the
purpose of killing or catching
fish. There is no such law i.n
South Carolina, but if there were
the cit'zenfl would have to obey it.
Tomorrow All-hallow
Hallowe'en will come to us
on Saturday. In some sections
the night is made hideous by bad
boys. Hallowe'en is the eve of
All Saints' day. It takes its
origin from the tact that it is
the anniversary ot the last day
on which the Roman gods were
allowed by law to be worshipped
in Rome. The day also marks
the beginning of the Christian
religion as the Slate religion
of Rome In Scotland, England
and some parts of America it is
regarded a? the lime when super I
natural influences prevail and
as the departed walk the earth. I
