To the Editor of The Dispatch: As I have heard the fox law discussed to some extent and the mak / _ t* _-i_i e c _ .in j. ^ ~ ****** 4 ers 01 mat law "cussea" to <t gicai j extent by a few?I am writing for The Dispatch to try to show to an unprejudiced mind that the law is not so iniquitous as some think, and that its makers are unjustly criticised. A writer from the lower part of the county says some sharpe questions will be put to the candidates for legislative honors in regard to this law. I infer from his remarks that those who favor the closed season on fox should be relegated to the shades of private life, it matters not now iaimiuny they have performed their duty in other respects; it matters not how honest and how much influence they have in that body, they must now stand aside because in this writer's opinion they have committed an "unpardonable sin." The passage of a closed season on fox is not unheard of, for I have an nnnnaivifnnna +.V? wvn f?Vl OnVTAQTVind ence, of an old Veteran of the Civil war, who is now sixty-five years old and lives at ^Clinton, La. He tells me that he and his son were instrumental in having a similar law passed in their parish and it has been the means of saving a few foxes for him to race in his declining years. Will any man, though he be opposed to fox-hunting and looks with disdain upon the foxhunting fraternity, say that this grand old man who, like the immortal Washington, faced the enemy in a righteous war had no right to ask for the protection of foxes which afford him the same pleasure as they did the Father of our country? / The deer is protected in this state ana oe is not suuii ?u uuuuucuu ammal, for in some sections farmers have suffered from his nocturnal visits. Would it be wise to repeal the law and let wholesale butchery go on and kill the last proud "monarch of the glen" because a few suffered some loss of crops? In parts of New England where the season is closed on deer, they destroy crops to such an extent that the game wardens must make compensation for such loss. A repeal of the law is not considered. Fox-hunters who are true sportsmen would not object to replacing the poultry of those who suffer loss by foxes, if it would not be like the pensioning of old soldiers?no end to it. A fox-hunting club in Missouri, if I mistake not, offered to pay for poultry killed by foxes rather than have the game shot to death. More poultry was killed by foxes (?) than was ever known; in fact all the chickens that disarm eared were victims of the fox and those sportsmen were the victims of dishonest farmers whose income from dead poultry exceeded that of their neighbors who were so unfortunate as not to have foxes in their section. That a few families in some sections suffer loss by foxes no one will deny. They would suffer much more if there were no foxhunters. My own experience convinces me that the fox is not always guilty when accused and that there is a little black demon that $ten destroys more poultry in one night than a fox does in a year. One of my brothers lost as many as thirty chickens in one night by minks and had he not been in calling distance of the Selwood hounds he might have lost all he had, for the hunt was kept up night after night till eight minks were put to death. Some years ago I was asked by a man who had ordered me off of his land in days when I was a 'possum hunter, to come and catch a | fox (?) that had killed his chickens, j When I reached the spot and viewed the dead poultry I knew that it was the work of a mink. News reached me only a few days ago that a good lady of the Dutch Fork lost one hundred and twenty-five chickens and seven turkeys by foxes (?) to be sure, for there are a few near her home. When the mink was caught in the act the foxes were no longer accused. I have heard of no damage being done by these foxes nor have any of the residents of that section tried to shoot them, yet bird hunters from Columbia shot one a few years ago without excuse. A negro shot one last winter and one was killed a few miles np the river from this place. When men go out pleasure seeking, unmindful of the pleasure of others, and shoot foxes with impunity, I say the lawjdoes not go far enough with a closed season. As I understand this law it is to protect foxes from such killing without excuse, and to stop spring and summer hunting in order that a sportsman can have the pleasure of the ohase without riding to another conn"tr Vrt Ana KaYiawa* vi/vs* /Ya t.Vi* 5 "vx sportsmen wish it, that a jury would punish Miss Dunbar for killing a fox under Jixe conainons as ene aia a rew years ago when with the aim of an Annie Oakley she killed a fox in her || A&$$&$$$$&$ ?

It builds new blood a X system, i X " ^ ALL DRUGGISTS! poultry yard in open daylight. Foxe9 are plentiful in only a few sections and the average hunter has to ride some distance for a chase. There are only a few hunters like Prof. Draughon who are able to afford an automobile to which a trailer is attached to carry dogs, who can hunt regardless of the distance to the fox territory. Distance lends enchantment to him. This successful business man says that some of his brightest thoughts have come to him going to and returning from the chase, and that sportsman, George F. Bird song, whose narae will never die, says he started life with a shattered constitution, a J' J i.1 1 1 i.1. f.?l consumptive, ana me neaiimui npun of fox hunting gave him a 20 years lease on life, yet we find men every where who condemn fox hunting or any other kind of sport. Man needs recreation of some sort, but the man who keep? a dog only to have something to kick around when he gets mad cadnot see why the sportsmen should have any consideration when the laws are made. Fox hunting is a legitimate sport and the poor man has as much right to indulge in it as a king who is able to own a game reserve. The houndmen have done more to protect poultry in this county than any othtr hunters and the hound can be used for more purposes than any other dog, yet when a law is made to benefit fox hunters who bear the burden of the dog tax, some people kick. I think there are six fox hunters in this county who pay dog tax to the i. - * AoaA - -r?/\AMa XX o TTO amount 01 jouu m ten in. m?h/ any six men lost that amount on poultry by foxes in the same length of time? If so, how much would they have lost if there had been no hounds and hunters? There are twice as many fox hunters as there were ten years ago, and as 9oon as the season opens the foxes will be caught. If the closed season had been passed for several years then the people who suffer loss by foxes would be justified in rising up in righteous indignation and ask a repeal of the law. There never was a law that pleased everybody, but often a law grows into favor when prejudice has been laid aside. The fence law for instance. There are some men who are chronic grumblers and they find fault with our representatives for passing laws and for not passing laws. The representatives should always he mindful of the taxDavers whom they represent?even the dog tax payers. I am amused at some of our would-be representatives who hope to ride into office by their opposition to the laws passed by our last legislature. I like to see a man stand on his merits?if he has any?and not try to down an honest, conscientious man, who tried to do his duty, hoping to use his prostrate form for a stepping stone to office. As a sportsman, speaking in behalf of the many fox hunters of this county, I ask our coming legislators to think before they consider a repeal of the closed season on fox. This is the first time that the fox hunters have ever received any consideration when the laws were made, and they are at big expense to keep and maintain a pack that can kill the red fox when they are sent for in time of need. The bird hunter ha9 his game protected, which bird, though beautiful, is not without fault. Now, Mr. Editor, you are no fox hunter, but you love sport, and the law protects the fish from the deadly j dynamite in the waters where you go j for recreation when your brain needs i rest. Only a few months ago that great statesman, whose memory will ever be cherished by the American people, passed to the vast unknown. The sport that he loved was the same that you love, and when the summons comas for you to lay aside your quill and rod and go up to the gates guarded by St. Peter, my wish is that he will let you in because you were his fellow fisherman on earth.
