AUDUBON SOCIETY MEETING.
Secretary Pearson Submits Report of
the Past Year's Work.
The annual meeting of the Audu-bon
Society of North Carolina was
held In the assembly hall of the Ben-bow
hotel Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock, being presided over by the.
president. Dr. Richard H. Lewis, of!
Raleigh. In addition to the officers
and several directors, there was pres-ent
a number of the friends of the
society, among others being Mr. H.
II. Brimlcy, curator of the North Car-olina
state museum. The most Im-portant
matter to come before the
meeting was the report of the sec-retary,
Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, which
reviewed at length and in detail the
work of the society during the past
year.
In addition to attending to the de-tails
of his office. Secretary Pear3on
spent much time during the past
twelve months endeavoring to secure
a more competent force of game war-dens,
and In addition, delivered lec-tures
In several states on bird life
and the importance of gamo protec-tion.
Early In February he address-ed
a joint session of the Arkansas
legislature, and a month ago, In re-sponse
to an invitation, he held a
personal conference with President
Diaz on the subject of the passage
and enforcement of laws for the pre-servation
of bird and animal life In
Mexico.
Secretary Pearson's report states
that one of the most difficult prob-lems
confronting tho society is the
matter of securing good and compe-tent
game wardens, this being due.
in a large measure, to the fact that
the funds of the society have boon
t->o limited to employ men on salary
and the further fact that the fees
are Insufflcieat to secure the services
of active oflice: 6. The secretary re-ports
that he has endeavored to get
men to accept wardens' appointment^
in every county in the 6tate, and In
many cases has tried repeatedly with-out
effect to get the county officers
and others to rocoramend men for
appointment.
A great deal of work was done
during tho year. About (7,000 was
oxpeiuj"d In paying game wardens for
their services in the different coun-ties.
A good doal of patrol work
was done and the educational work
was extended wonderfully, many In-structive
lectures being given In dif-ferent
parts of the state. A number
of Ju:"or secretaries wore appointed
in order to* increase the interest in
game preservation among the children
of the s ■hools.
During the year ending March 1st
the socety's representatives secured
a total of 158 convictions for viola-tions
of the game laws. Tho great-est
number of convictions, 85, was
for hunting on lands of others with-out
permission, usually for quail.
There were 17 convictions for killing
squirrels and 16 for killiug quail ille-gally.
The counties In which the greatest
number of convictions were secured
are: Guliford. 32: Wake, 27; Bertie,
25, and Davidson. 19. Only five con-victions
were secured in Randolph
and but one in Forsyth. No convic-tions
were reported from Alamance
and Rockingham.
Tou hing le-'Is'at on enacted by the
general assembly for the protection
of birds and game, tho report refers
to a till, drawn by Secretary Pear-don
and Introduced by Senator Bar-ringer,
which prohibits hunting do.'s
from running at large during the
fcre tdi 1=; ;-: >afon cf ! irds i" the coun-ties
ci .luilford, Forsvtu. Irodell,
Moore, Yancey, Transylvania, David-son,
Durham, Greene and Johnston.
Another law passed by tho legisla-ture
gives to the hitherto unprotect-ed
squirrels of Guilford county a
close season and prohibits at all
times the killing of that beautiful ard
fast vanishing game bird, tho wood
duck.
Directors of the society for tho en-suing
year were elected as follows:
P. D. Gold, Jr., Raleigh: Dr. C. P.
Ambler, Asheville; S. M. Beasley. Pop-lar
Branch, and Prof. J. I. Foust,
Greensboro. The directors re-elected
the officers as follows: Dr. R. H.
Lewis. Raieieh, president; Hon. Chas.
R. Aycock, Raleigh, vice president:
T. Gilbert Pearson. Greensboro, sec-retary;
Dr. E. W. dodger, Greensboro,
