'Veil: g is, since this treaty is ho vu'jve rte law of the ! r.d, 'hat the eg.slatnre of South Carolina would 1 t v >il to enact it into a law of the Jtate so that our people would be unler no r is ipprehenson concerning its provisions. Some of those provisions nay seem to our sportsmen to be a itlle hard, but in the long run they vill help to make a game paradise of v.uth Carolina, will save her wild life ind 1 ring tourists and sportsmen in ;ieat numbers to her fields and for sts in the proper hunting seasons. At present South Carolina has no aw against the shooting or selling of n'gratory <luci\s and permits the kill* ng of wood or summer ducks from September 1 to February 28. The United States law does not permit the rilling of summer ducks at all. but lermits the killing of migratory 'lucks in South Carolina from November 1 <> Jar.u :ry 511, and prohibits the sale )f all (lacks at all times. 'I ho State law permits the shooting f doves from August 1 f> to February ^ .18, wh le the Federal law allows them to be shot only from September 16 to December.*!1. There are various other l>oints of divergence'' which are liable Lo confuse our hunters and get them into lroul.de with the United States authorities, subjecting themselves to heavy penalities of fines or imprison ment. It would simplifiy things in heir interest if the State law and the federal law should be made uniform. In order to show the attitude of the department at Washington towards Ihe people of the state in this matter I am handing you a copy of a letter just received from Hon. E. W. Nelson, chief of the department. As a word >f warning to our people I would state that the department has sent a United Slates warden to this field for the purpose of having the laws enforced. W. H. Gibbes, Chief Game Warden. ? Washington, I). C. September 5, 1918. Mr. W. H. Gibbes, Chief Game Warilen, Columbia, S. C. My Dear ?.Ir. Gibbes: I have your letter of September 3 in regard to the visit to South Carolina of Mr. Meekins. 1 am very glad indeed to have your friendly co-operation in carrying out the administration of the migratory bird treaty act. Treaties under the constitution of the United States, be-. iiiiic the supreme law of the land. Under the treaty and treaty act to out it in force, the limitations on the shooting of doves must prevail over State laws In the former migratory bird law no effort was made to control the hunting of doves; but such control is now undertaken as in the case of other migratory birds in the terms of the treaty. There will undoubtedly be considerable confusion luring the opening of the present f hunting season, owing to the fact that ".he enabling act and the regulations for the administration of the treaty appeared so near the opening of the season. This, of course, made it difficult for the State game commissions to make the necessary arrangements. For this reason we are acting with ons:uerai>le liberality in the matter :his year and are not attempting to he unreasonable in enforcing the iaw imong people who ure not willfully violating it. There will be many violations by people who have not yet become informed and who beileve in good faith that they have certain -ights under the State laws outside the limits set by the federal regulations. By another year all this will >e straightened out and the thing hould be well understood before the xniration of the approaching hunting season. It is perhaps true that many doves nay live throughout the year in South Carolina; but the great majority of hese birds are migratory in character and move from Southern Canada jouth to the Southern United States ind beyond with the coming of win,er, returning again to their summer lorae in the spring. As a result, they ire classed strictly as migratory birds inder the terms of the treaty and fall vithin the federal regulations. One thing which we deserve to itringently enforce is the non-sale of ri?tv**? ' 1 , K,ui any Kinu is per11 it ted to be sold anywhere in the Jnited States. Sincerely yours, E. W.
