WHAT A SOUTHERN SPORTSMAN 

 THINKS OF IT. 

 Beaufort, N. C, November 20, 1903. 

 The Winchester Arms Co., 



New Haven, Conn. 

 Gentlemen : 



1 think it my duty to write regarding the 

 new automatic gun that 1 understand you 

 are putting on the market. From the 

 standpoint of the true sportsman, there 

 would be as much honor in a full bag of 

 game taken with an automatic gun as if 

 the bag were filled from a trap or from the 

 market. The true sportsman can not use 

 such a gun ; it can be used only by the 

 game slaughterer. The result must, there- 

 fore, be such extermination of our game 

 that there will be little use and little de- 

 mand for your legitimate firearms. 



Should some of your automatic guns be 

 sold in our community, it must be expected 

 that, of necessity, within a few years, the 

 demand for your guns and ammunition 

 would decline, with the continued exter- 

 mination of our game. 



My words may not have great weight 

 with you, but I trust our Legislature may, 

 now that this extreme has been reached, 

 pass a long needed law, effectually prohib- 

 iting the bringing into this state, for sale 

 or use, any gun other than the respectable 

 single or double shooting shot guns of 

 reasonable bore. 



I write from one of the best game coun- 

 ties in Eastern North Carolina. 



Respectfully, Alonzo Thomas, 



Treasurer of Carteret County. 



Something Special. A Fine Casting 

 Minnow Free: To each person sending 

 me $1 for one new yearly subscription 

 to Recreation, or sending it direct to be 

 placed to my credit, I will forward, all 

 charges prepaid, a finely finished wood- 

 en, casting minnow. This minnow has 

 the latest improved spinner which will 

 not catch upon the weeds; is finished 

 with silver belly and green back, has 

 three treble hooks, is weighted so it will 

 not twist the line, always keeps right 

 side up when in the water, and is just 

 the right weight for casting. Lloyd J.
