PARK PELICAN QUITS
THIS UNKIND WORLD
Th« pelican If dead!
Announcement to thla effect If made
by W. C. Puckett, the eepeclally ap
pointed guardian of the great bird with
the ravenoue appetite.
The pelican for a long time waa the
bete notr of the inembera of the park
board. He would eat from early morn
until the gun began to elnk behind the
borlaon In the weal.
The pelican Inaugurated a campaign
of dfftruetlon at (Irani park, hla na
aaaalnatlng, all-devouring appetite nev
er being aatlalled. In desperation, the
park board turned the bird over to W,
C. Puckett, manager of the White City,
also a member of the board, with In
etructlons to get rid of him.
Friday one of the employees of the
park told Mr. Puckett that the pelican
had gone to the great pelican heaven,
w hore It rains flail.
■T couldn't tell," said the workman,
“whether It was starvation, u fit, or a
broken heart. The bird Just groaned
anu gasped, rolled hla eyes heavenward,
and twenty-threed."

PRESIDENT IS PROUD OF HIS DIXIE BLOOD
Continued from Pago One,

eentatlvea of Georgia 1 desire from my
heart to thank all ner cltlzena.
“Georgia’s history Is unique, for'she
alone among the original thirteen col

added thereto, was founded with a con
sciously bencvolsnt purpose, with the
deliberate Intent to benefit mankind by
upbuilding a commonwealth along

cal and religious liberty and Justice.

“Hie colony welcomed alike those who
fled from political or social tyranny,
and those, whether Christian or Jew,
who sought liberty for conscience's
sake. It waa a high and honorable be
ginning, and I am proud, Indeed, of my
Georgian anceetry, and of the fact that
my grandfather's grandfather, Archi
bald Bulloch, was the first governor, or
as the title then wont, president of the
new state, when the continental con
gress, of which he waa also a member,
declared that the thirteen elates had

this action shall be taken with knowl

In which to help anyone Is to help hint
sound economic reason for distinction
between accidents caused by negligence
and those which are unavoidable, and
the law should be such that the pay

"When the employer, the agent of the
public, on hi* own responsibility and

serving the public, starts In motion
agencies which create risks for others,
he should take all tho ordinary and ex
traordln&ry risks Involved; and though

when the Individual fortunes were far
smaller than at present, and when these
fortunes were not combined for busl-

Its ultimate effects weakness Is often

so far as possible, avoid getting Into on

there should be additional legislation
