HE South — by which we mean that por- tion of the United States lying between Chesapeake Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Ohio River, and extending from Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River — is pecu- liarly notable among the favored regions of the earth in the attributes that attract sports- men. In scenery it is grandeur itself, in climate "delightful mildness" perpetually fills the air, in extent of territory it leaves nothing to be desired, in transportation facilities it is not surpassed in America, and its hotels are many, attractively located, and well maintained. Its forests and mountains abound in four-footed game, its wooded uplands are the favorite resort of quail, partridge, woodcock, and the lordly wild turkey, its marshes and bayous are frequented by myriads of migratory wild fowl, and its crystal streams are the haunts of thousands of trout. Throughout these States, scattered, but still within easy reach of one another, are hundreds of attractive towns and villages, where visitors can find the best of comfort and cheer, and which are the natural starting points for hunting and fishing parties during the open season. Perusal of the following pages will show to all interested in sport what the South has to offer in this respect. The attractions of different localities are fully set forth, and such necessary information is added, as the nearest and best hotels, the available guides, facilities for obtaining teams, the varieties of game and fish found, the local game laws, and the names and addresses of residents from whom those interested can secure additional facts. HUNTING AND FISHING &* Expectancy SOUTHERN RAILWAY HOW BEST TO TRAVEL SOUTH THE sportsman who desires to visit the South in the hunting season will find that every transportation facility that he can require has been supplied, that every luxury of travel has been provided. He can consult his own inclinations as to the section he desires to visit or the game for which he is in search. He is restricted only in respect to the sections frequented by the game and the dates of the open season. Reference to the following tables will show these facts and will enable the sportsman to plan a tour so as to cover the locality he wishes to visit and hunt over at the seasons when the sport is at its best. He can likewise select the localities where the game he prefers is most plentiful, and can make all his arrangements in advance through the correspondents whose names are mentioned in the tables. All local arrangements can be completed far in advance of the actual visit, and when the time comes to go he can rest assured that the transportation facilities are adequate and need cause him no thought. The sportsman from the North will naturallv travel to this section over the main lines and branches of the Southern Railway, which operates more than seven thousand miles ot railroad, extending from Washington to Mobile, Ala. , Jacksonville, Fla., Charleston, S. C, Greenville, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. This splendid transportation line touches all the principal cities of the South, and reaches the seaboard at Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S. C, Savannah and Bruns- wick, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., and Mobile, Ala. At the first-named port it is in touch with steamers from the northern and eastern States, and at Mobile direct steamer connection is had with the West Indian Islands and Central America. Branch lines of the Southern Railway penetrate to all parts of the southern States, and reach all its favorite localities. At Washington, D. C, Lexington, Louis- ville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., Greenville, Miss., Atlanta, Ga., and Selma, Ala., it is in touch with all railway routes north, east, south, and west. Close connections are made at all these points with fast trains, and the Southern Railway operates on its own main lines some of the finest trains in the world. The " Washington and Southwestern Limited," the "Southern's Palm Limited," and " Chicago and Florida Special," are unexcelled in their complete- ness and luxury by any of the famous fast trains of America. Junction points are frequent throughout the southern States, and particular attention is given to making close connections with the fast trains both north and south-bound. The needs of sportsmen — as well as those of the ordinary traveler — are carefullv considered by the Southern Railwav, which pays special attention to the careful transportation of hunting dogs and sporting paraphernalia generally, and makes special inducements to hunting parties to travel over its lines. 5 HUNTING AND FISHING VIRGINIA A DJOINING the well-stocked waters of Chesapeake Bay and extending /-\ westward to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia's broad acres and JL \- wooded uplands should naturally be the delight of sportsmen. That they are so, and that they have been so since the first white man settled on the shores of James River, is an acknowledged fact. The "Old Dominion" has been the resort of sportsmen since its settlement, and here, probably to a greater extent than elsewhere in America, has hunting and fishing approached in degree and method the habits and customs of England. The landed aristocracy of Virginia filled its country houses with hunting parties in the days of George Washington, and stables of superb saddle horses and packs of fine hounds were the boast of many a citizen. Though at the present day hunting with dog and gun has taken the place of "riding to hounds," the sport is none the less popular in this section than it was in the early days of the United States. Game in Virginia is plentiful and of many varieties. The shy and retiring quail finds its natural habitat in the State, and there are besides partridge, woodcock, and wild turkeys. The graceful Virginia deer is found in several counties, and the smaller four-footed animals abound in many localities. The waters of Chesapeake Bay and its tributary streams furnish the best of fishing, and water fowl in enormous A Camp in the Woods SOUTHERN RAILWAY flocks frequent the bays and marshes. Trout are found in all the mountain streams, and native fresh-water fish make their homes in the rivers and lakes. Virginia particularly appeals to the business man with a limited vacation period at his disposal, as its attractive hunting sections can be easily reached in a few hours from Washington over the Southern Railway, which runs direct to the best game districts. The main line touches the more important points in the State, and there are many branches that operate east and west to the shores of Chesapeake Bay and to the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Junction points are at Manassas, Char- lottesville, Lynchburg, and Danville. Virginia excels in the excellence of its hotels. At Chase City, Va., the Mecklen- A Few s P are Moments burg management controls a private game preserve of 1 0,000 acres for the use of its guests. The attractiveness of the Mecklenburg preserves will be better appre- ciated when it is understood that the 1903 field trials of the Virginia Field Trials Association were held here. The roads of Virginia are excellent and well kept, and travel by other means than the railway is easy and convenient. Experienced guides are available at all points and trained dogs are kept at the more important and popular resorts. Hotel accommodation is particularly good, even at the smaller places, which have unpretentious but attractive houses, that make a specialty of caring for sportsmen and of furnishing them every facility for enjoying the sport. The Belleville game preserve, of 10,000 acres, reached by a fine drive of five miles from Drake's Branch, is a splendid property, attractively located, that is fully stocked with quail, turkeys, woodcock, and English pheas- ants. There are also a few deer. Quail and partridge are found in large numbers in the vicinity of Bealeton, Bluemont, Clarksville, Emporia, Fort Mitchell, La Crosse, Linden, News Ferry, and Somerset. The districts abounding in deer are in the neighborhood of Boydton, Broadnax, Chase City, 7 HUNTING AND FISHING Drake's Branch, Edinburg, Finnevwood, Fort Mitchell, Jeffress, Lester Manor, Scottsburg, Spring Grove, and Tunstall. At most of these places quail and other game birds are also found. Rabbits, squirrels, and small game are to be found in practically all parts of the State. Along the Norfolk Division of the Southern Railway are many noted shooting points, chief among which are Clarksville and South Hill in Mecklenburg County. Appomattox and Bucking- ham counties are favorite localities for deer. Towns where deer are found in the vicinity besides those mentioned are Alton, Buffalo Junction, Burkeville, Charlie Hope, Claremont, Green Bav, Green Plains, Lester Manor, Mattox, Meherrin, and Pleasant Shade. As will be seen from the foregoing list, Virginia abounds in choice hunting sections, and these are all the better for the reason that they have been hunted over for hundreds of years, and the native guides have tradition as well as experience to guide them. The visiting sportsman will find in Virginia not merely a land of promise, but a land of fulfillment, a place where hunting and fishing are to be found at their best, and where the best places are of easy accessibility over a splendid railway and by means of well-kept carriage roads. Where time is an object the sportsman can find no better place to visit than this', and he will return fully satisfied with his experiences, and fully determined to repeat the experiment whenever opportunity offers.

HUNTING AND FISHING SOUTHERN RAILWAY NORTH CAROLINA F greater variety in its physical contour than the other southern States, North Carolina pre- sents a diversity that makes it attractive to all of sportsmen. The State may be roughlv divided into three zones or belts. The first is the low level land along the Atlantic coast ; the second the rolling country of the interior elevated plateau ; and the third the mountainous part in the extreme west, which lies between the Blue Ridge Moun- tains in the east and the Iron, Smoky, and Unaka Mountains ot eastern Tennessee on the west. These three sections display varied characteristics and are frequented by different varieties of game. Along the shores, in the deeply indented bays and grass-grown marshes, are all sorts of water fowl from the famous canvasback duck to the toothsome reed bird. Terrapin are also to be found in these marshes, and in the waters adjoining are many famed resorts of deep-sea fishes. Splendid fishing grounds are located at many places off the North Carolina coast, and whole fleets of fishing vessels are constantly employed in the sport. The interior section, which lies between zoo feet and 800 feet above the sea level, abounds in the smaller game birds, of which the greater number are quail. The quail of North Carolina are fully the equal of those of Virginia, and are frequently of bolder flight, for the reason that in the "sand hill" section the foliage is sparser and the country is more open. The best known among the hunting sections of the interior of North Carolina — aside from those in the mountain region — is probably Pine- hurst, in Moore County. This village is charmingly situated in a fine shooting country. It has four excellent hotels. It is reached by a branch of the Southern Railway which leaves the main line at High Point, N. C, for Asheboro and from Asheboro to Pinehurst over the Aberdeen & Asheboro Railroad. In order to make Pinehurst attractive to northern sportsmen and to enhance its value from the sporting standpoint, Mr. Leonard Tufts, the owner, has acquired one of the largest game preserves in the United States. The tract embraces more than 25,000 acres of natural quail country, all immediately surrounding and in the vicinity of Pinehurst. A fine stable is maintained at the village and a large kennel of well-trained dogs. Competent guides are at the disposal of guests at the Pine- Eight to Eat. •5 HUNTING AND FISHING Ah ! I Have It hurst hotels. The Pinehurst preserves are maintained for the exclusive use of visitors to the village, and that the sport may be always of the best, Mr. Tufts has had planted throughout the more than I 50 acres large patches of cow peas, which are left ungathered for the birds to feed upon during the shooting season. Because of this enterprise Pinehurst quail are not only kept in finer condition but are apt to be more numerous than elsewhere. The mountain section of North Carolina, "The Land of the Sky," as it is called, is attractive for all classes of people ; not alone to the sportsman, but also to the outdoor lover, the convalescent, and the invalid. The pure air and mild climate of this portion of the South has made it one of the most famous health resorts in America. In the center of this region lies Asheville, America's "capital of health," a city of about 15,000 inhabitants, with several splendid modern hotels and quite a number of smaller ones. Asheville is reached from the east by a branch line of the Southern Railway from Salisbury, and from the north through Cincinnati and Knoxville, and from the south and west via Chat- tanooga or via Atlanta and Spartanburg. Other notable points at which railroad connections can be made to and from the best sporting localities are Greensboro, Durham, Goldsboro, Charlotte, and Spartanburg. Two miles from the city of Asheville is "Biltmore," the magnificent residential property of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, famous as being the finest estate in America, the residence a masterpiece of the late Richard M. Hunt, America's most famous architect, and the grounds having bjen laid out and beautified by Frederick Law Olmsted, the eminent landscape artist. More famous, perhaps, from the sportsman's point of view, is Mr. Vanderbilt' s superb game preserve on Mount Pisgah, the largest and finest in America. This great forest is 100,000 acres in extent, and com- prises every variety of country, from level meadows to towering and precipitous mountain peaks. Within this forest are some seventy miles of wagon roads, and more than 265 miles of trails, the latter mostly along the many fine trout streams 16 SOUTHERN RAILWAY of this noble domain. Surrounding this game preserve is a boundary fence more than 300 miles in length. The tract is in charge of a small army of game- keepers, who reside on the property, and who keep it in prime condition for the use of Mr. Vanderbilt and the guests at Biltmore. Magnificent as is this great private game park, it is but an insignificant portion of the shooting grounds of North Carolina. There are still open to visiting sportsmen hundreds of thou- sands of acres of woodland and mountain, and hundreds of miles of streams, brooks, and lakes within whose limits lurk the leaping trout and the other game fish of these inland waters. One of the most noted regions of western North Carolina is the " Sapphire Country," which is reached from either Spartanburg, S. C, or Asheville, N. C, by way of Hendersonville and Brevard. Excellent hotels are found at lakes Toxaway, Sapphire, and Fairfield. These lakes are the finest bodies of water in the entire South, and are famed for their beauty, being surrounded by towering cliffs and cloud-piercing peaks. Lake Toxaway with its fifteen miles of shore may well be said to rival some of the European lakes as to size and beauty. The water is as clear as crystal and the lakes are kept stocked with rainbow trout from the hatcheries at Sapphire. The visitor may go west to Waynesville and Murphy, north to the Tennes- see line, or south to the borders of South Carolina, and find everywhere superb localities for the enjovment of sport. Everv variety of game for which the southern States are noted are to be found in the borders of North Carolina, and its many rivers, streams, and mountain brooks furnish lurking places for all kinds of fresh- water fish. Bass of large size are found in the Tuckaseigee, Nantahalah, and Little Tennessee rivers, and off the seacoast, southeast of Goldsboro, the lover of salt-water fishing can take sea-trout, Spanish mackerel, blue fish, and red snappers with ease and satisfaction. Bear are found in some of the more remote sections, such as Andrews, Bush- nell, Robbinsville, Whittier, and Willetts. Sections where deer abound are in the vicinity of Bullock, Hendersonville, Oxford, Paint Rock, Robbinsville, Selma, and Whittier. Quail are abundant in practically all parts of the State, and partridge and wild turkeys in nearly all. Squirrels, rabbits, and opossum are frequently met with and raccoons are common.

It forms the middle ground between the mountains that reach their maximum height on the borders North Carolina and Tennessee and the level and alluvial land )f the interior of Florida. In territory it comprises some eight million acres, the greater part of which is available to the sportsman in search of small game. Georgia has a somewhat lower average altitude than the Carolinas, and for this reason, and also because its slopes extend in a nstead of an easterly direction, its climate is somewhat milder than that of the States just north of it. During the hunting and fishing season the climate, though mild, is exceptionally agreeable. Transportation through the State by rail is excellent. Four of the main lines of the Southern Railway center at Atlanta, the capital, and a number of branch lines also start from the same city. These rail facilities make Atlanta the natural distributing point for the western part of the State. Augusta occupies a similar position in the east, and other prominent traffic centers are Macon, Columbus, Rome, and Dalton. Of game birds found in Georgia, partridge are by far the most plentiful. Rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and other small four-footed game are frequently met with, and wild turkeys and pigeons inhabit certain sections. Deer can be hunted in some counties. Trout, bass, and other game fish are easily taken in the mountain streams of the northern part of the State. On the main line of the Southern Railway, northeast from Atlanta, there is good rabbit and partridge shooting near the towns of Gainesville, Cornelia, Suwanee, Lula, Mt. Airv, and Toccoa. Going west and a little south of Atlanta, on the line to Birmingham, Ala., partridge are found near Winston, Villa Rica, Temple, Bremen, and Tallapoosa. Southward, on Fort Valley branch and the line to Columbus, the partridge's call is heard about the towns of Haasville, Kallulah, Piedmont, Topeka Junction, Culloden, Woodbury, Concord, Warm Springs, Shiloh, and Waverly Hall. Northwest from Atlanta partridge are thick along the Southern's line to Chattanooga, and excellent shooting will be found at Rome, Plainville, Sugar Valley, Carbondale, and Dalton, and other stations west on the branch line from Rome to Attalla.

THIS State, King between the mountain chain that separates it from North Carolina on the east, and the banks of the Mississippi, presents the same diversity of contour that we have learned to look for among the southern States. It slopes, however, to the west instead of the east, and its bottom lands are along the Mississippi valley instead of the Atlantic coast. Both hunting and fishing are favorite and popular sports within the borders of this commonwealth, the latter especially so. The two great rivers, the Tennes- see and the Cumber- land and their tribu- taries, afford the finest of sport in the taking of perch, catfish, bass, and other species of larger fresh-water fish, which are caught in goodly numbers. Par- tridge, quail, and woodcock are com- mon throughout the center of the State, and deer are found in some of the eastern counties. Knoxville, which is one of the chief cities of the State, as well as being one of the prominent railroad centers, a f f o r d s excellent transportation facili- ties over the lines of the Southern Rail- way to all parts of the State, and there are a number of other points and junctions scarcely less impor- tant, among these being Memphis, Morristown, Chattanooga, Clinton, Cleveland, Must Be Trout There 39 HUNTING AND FISHING ^(j^VmmL Waiting for You SOUTHERN RAILWAY Harriman Junction, and Johnson City. Sanford, Riceville, Athens, Sweetwater, and Concord are convenient starting points for shooting parties. Between Knox- ville and Bristol, on the northeast branch, are Rogersville, Greenville, and Johnson Citv. From the latter place a branch road runs to Linville, N. C, through the wildest of country and most charming scenery. Game is plentitul in the vicinity and the mountain streams abound in trout. From Johnson City to Cranberry, along the River Doe and on to Linville, and from this point on to Grandfather Mountain, a splendid carriage road passes through one of the most picturesque regions of the Blue Ridge. Grandfather Mountain is the highest peak of this range, and is the birthplace of innumerable trout streams. Many other peaks add to the attractiveness of this region which boasts the most charm- ing climate in the South, and which possesses some of the best hotels among the southern mountains. Tennessee excels in wild turkey shooting, which splendid American game bird is recognized as the most magnificent winged quarry that can fall to the sportsman's gun. Quail, partridge, woodcock, pheasant, wild duck, red and grey foxes, rabbits and squirrels are also plentiful. The general game law of 1903 has proven a great protection to the game of the State, and the reports received by the State Game Warden show that immense numbers of quail will be found awaiting the sportsman for the season of 1904-5. The Tennessee law is unusuallv favorable to non-resident sportsmen, and such prominent gentlemen as Harrv Pavne Whitney of New York, Hobart Ames of Massachusetts, Herman B. Duryea, of New Jersey, Wm. Cooper Procter and J. V. B. Scarborough of Ohio, and others own large shooting preserves in this State. GAME LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE Open Season. — Acts of 1903, chapter 169.

This wave-washed peninsula is perhaps better known to Americans as a fashionable winter resort, but its attractions for the sportsman are none the less powerful, and the State does not suffer in comparison with the more mountainous regions just north of it, while its enormous length of seacoast — more than 1,200 miles — gives it an extent and variety of salt-water fishing greatly in excess of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast States adjoining it. The game animals, birds, and fishes of Florida are many and varied • the first ranging from the humble 'coon to the graceful deer, and even to an occa- sional bear ; the second embraciug both land and water fowls, from the humble quail to the lordly wild turkey, and from the erratic "jack snipe" to the superb mallards and canvas backs ; and the third covering the whole catalogue of semi- tropical fishes from the gamy bass of the rivers to the majestic << tarpon " of the Gulf Coast. Transportation in Florida is easy and convenient, distances are not excessive, and outdoor life is ideal. Almost any part of the interior is quickly reached either from the east or west coast, or from the St. John's River, which cuts this narrow peninsula into two still narrower parts. The forests of Southern Florida are splendid natural game preserves, the numberless bays of the Gulf Coast swarm with migratory wild fowl, and the clear surrounding waters teem with beautiful and gamy fish. The sportsman or the angler who cannot be perfectly content in Florida is indeed hard to suit. In a Good Act 53 HUNTING AND FISHING &. u "y, 4_ FH fcf SOUTHERN RAILWAY KENTUCKY KENTUCKY has been famous for its hunting ever since Daniel Boone returned to the settlements and described its beauty of landscape and its wealth of game. The fierce resistance of the Indians to the encroach- ments of the white man showed that they too appreciated its resources and were loath to leave it. The aborigines have long since faded away from Kentucky's hillsides ; and with them have gone most of the larger game. Bear are no more seen, though deer are obtainable in a few sections. The principal game birds of to-day are the partridge and woodcock, though others are frequently found. Lexington, just north of the center of the State, and Louisville, the chief citv, directly west of it, are the principal railroad centers, the latter being the point of concentration for travel over the Southern Railway from the Middle West and the States bordering on the Great Lakes. Besides these two great railroad centers there are a number of others of considerable importance to visit- ing sportsmen who desire to reach the interior points. Among these are Law- renceburg, Georgetown, Burgin, and Shelbvville. A few quail are found in the vicinity of Burgin and Shelbyville. Fishing is excellent throughout the State, particularly in the Kentucky River, in Elkhorn Creek, and in Buck Run, in all of which streams bass, catfish, and white perch are plentiful.
