“IKEY O'SHIELDS."
Ikcy is one of the unfortunates.
A few years ago, he was injured
mhile working in a mill; now h« is
a cripple, living in a little house
sixteen by twenty, on a back lot,
and is of very little importance ex
cept ou election days. He doe* odd
jobs around town, cleans the yards,
rakes the gardens, and such other
work as he can in his crippled con
dition.
In his little shack of a house, he
has a wife and baby dependent
upon his meagre earnings, but lie
loves them, and his home is his
castle, and his wife and baby his
sole earthly treasures.
A week or so ago I key was taken
sick, suffering from an abscess, and
from day to day he grew worse until
last Monday night he was suffering
the most excruciating pain, and
was sadly in need of medical atten
tion. By his little straw mattress
sat the sad-faced wife, from whose
bosom hope had fled, but love still
lingered. An attempt was made to
get a physician, but there was no
money, and an attempt was made
to get the city physician, but it was
found that Ikey lived about a hun
dred yards outside the city limits.
Nothing doing. Then the tear
stained eyes of the wife turned to
the county physician, and one of
the County Commissioners was
called over the telephone, and the
Commissioner said that there was
no county physician for general
purposes. ‘“Now, says the County
Commissioner, if he were a convict
or an idiot, was crazy, or dead, the
County could look after him.”
But no —Ikey was not crazy, he was
not a convict, indeed no; his life
has been harmless, he injures no
body, violates no law, therefore the
big county with its $50,000 court
house, its County Commissioners,
its tax assessors and county officers,
can afford no relief to the sick and
suffering Ikey, because he is not a
criminal.
Then, again, if he were an heathen
in China, or a negro heathen in
Africa, the Church, with its mis
sionary funds, would furnish medi
cal aid, and care for him; but Ikey
is not a heathen—he is just “Ikey,”
doing odd jobs around town, and
when sickness comes to him in his
poverty lie must be denied medical
aid because he is not a heathen or
criminal.
Alas, what doesit profit the suffer
ing poor to live almost within the
shadow of the Temple of Justice,
and the Church Towers?

Celebration at Wahoo.
Tiie Eagle is requested to announce
that there will be a Sunday School
celebration at Wahoo church next
Sunday, and that the public is cor
dially invited to ■ attend. This i> a
good church, and doubtless there
will be a goodly number present on
this occasion.

KILLS HIS AGED GOOSE.
Shamrock, a twenty-three-year-old
gocee, owned by Peter Hennigan of
Livingston, N. J., which was well
well known in that place because of
its habit of following its owner about
like a dog, was killed by Hennigan
because of its pugnacious disposi
tion. Os late the goose had attacked
every one who came in the yard, and
had injured some children.
Hennigan found inside the goose
a small watch charm, which he
brought from Ireland forty years
ago, and which he lost more than
twenty years ago. Hennigan sus
pected a farm hand of stealing the
charm and discharged him.

THROUGHOUT STATE
Wayresboru.-—The dormitory at the
county pauper farm burned. The ori
gin of tiie fire is unknown. The farm
is about a mile from the city.
Athens. —Mrs. Sarah Turner, aged
more than eighty years, president of
the oldest bank in Jefferson, Jackson
county, died at her home here.

fice. She succeeded George H. Kee
ler, whose term expired on June 30.
The entire office force, except Mr.
Keeler, remains with Mrs. Clay.
LaGrange.—Sheriff Florence killed
the largest rattlesnake seen in this
part of the country for years. It was
four feet long, three inches thick and
possessed five rattles. The snake was
found on the side of the road near
Chipley, and was shot twice with a
pistol.
Moultrie. —The special election held
in Colquitt county to decide the fence
or no fence question resulted in an
overwhelming defeat for the advo
cates of no fence. Only a slight vote
compared with the total registration
was polled. About 1,400 votes were
cast, but of this not more than 250
favored the abolition of the fences.
Americus. —Under instructions of
the currency, Thomas C. Dunlap, as
receiver for the defunct Americus Na
tional bank, capitalized at SIOO,OOO,
which went to the wall February 2,
with liabilities exceeding $600,000, col
lected from stockholders the 100 per
cent, of stock assessment levied re
cently.
Atlanta. —Work will begin on the
new power plant at the Tech school
within a few days. The plans are be
ing drawn, and the final arrangements
are being made to push the work of
the construction of the building and
fitting out of the new plant and labo
ratory as soon as the remainder of
the Greater Tech campaign fund
shall have been secured.
Rome. —The trustees of the Georgia
School for the Deaf have returned
from Atlanta, where they were in con
ference with those advocating the es
tablishment of a branch school in
south Georgia. An amicable agree
ment was reached whereby under cer
tain conditions the trustees will not op
pose the efforts for a branch school
for the deaf to be located in south
Georgia.
Waynesboro-Wednesday, July 1,
was the first day of free postal deliv
ery in Waynesboro. This is an act
that was eagerly looked forward to by
the citizens here. This delivery will
be an experimental one at first, but is
sure to be permanent, as the postoffice
authorities have for many years been
trying to secure this measure.
Dalton. —The board of tax equalizers
composed of L. W. Thomason, for 18
years, tax receiver of this county; G.
W. Sisk, L. V. Lafitte and J. L. Pal
mer, clerk, completed their labors,
having consumed the full time allot
ted them. As a result of the board’s
labors the aggregate tax values were
increased $369,235, and in addition to
this amount there was a voluntary in
crease of approximately SIOO,OOO,
which will aggregate something over
$5,000 for Whitfield county.
Augusta. —John W. Clark is now
postmaster of Augusta, the transfer
from Thomas D. Murphy, the retiring
official, having been made. Mr. Mur
phy rejoins the staff of The Chronicle,
with which paper he has been for
many years in the past. Mr. Clark is
succeeded as sheriff by J. T. Plunkett,
the former deputy sheriff.
Atlanta. —Governor Slaton sent two
nominations to the senate and they
were confirmed without opposition.
The nominations were: Paul Jones to
be solicitor of the county court of
Henry county; term two years, begin
ning December 1, 1914; W. E. Gibbs, to
be solicitor county court of Wayne
county, term four years, beginning Oc
tober 3, 1914.
Gainesville. —One of the most impor
tant undertakings of recent years at
Brenau college is the movement just
started to erect a modern building as
a home for the Young Woman’s Chris
tion Association at Brenau. The work
of construction will begin at once,
three subscriptions aggregating $7,000
having already been sent in for the
building, which is to be a memorial
to Mrs. T. J. Simmons, sife of the
associate president of Brenau, who
died several weeks ago.
Hazlehurst. —Jennie Parker, a bare
foot girl, fourteen years old, saved
the Georgia and Florida passenger
train from a bad wreck near Douglas
while working in a tomato patch with
two other girls. She discovered that
the trestle over a small creek was on
fire and knowing that the passenger
train would soon be along she sent
the children for a red sack. Mrs. S.
W. Griffin and Mrs. S. D. Holbrook
carried water from the creek and pour
ed it upon the burning trestle, and
the sight of the girl with a sun bon
net in one hand, waving a red sack in
the other, brought the train to a stand
still. The passengers made up a purse
of $5 for the child.
LaGrange.—According to several of
Troup county’s good farmers and a
number of business men of LaGrange
prospects are good for one of the best
crops this section has known in years.
Although in some parts of the county
there is need of rain, no harm has
been done yet, and if the farmers get
good rains from now until the matur
ity there will be one of the best
crops Troup has brought forward in
years. Owing to the fact that com
was planted later this year than usual,
the unusual heat has not materially
damaged it as yet, and cotton is in
splendid condition.
