and women were hauled before the
mayor and made to work. They
soon tired of working for the city,
when they found that it was just as
easy and much more prolltable to
them to work for themselves. This
resulted in a general change in
Thomasville, when negro women
were willing to cook, wash, or do
housework, and negro men to tend
yards and such other jobs. It was
easy to get a servant and in fact
some housewives had even applica
tions from negroes for work, some*
thing almost unheard of in the
city’s history recently.
The result is quite apparent, no*

two years the people have been han
dicapped by uncertain and shiftless

the farmers are all enthusiastic in
their praise of the citys work. They

The Brunswick Banner thinks
that women are braver than men.

State Game Warden Mercer, is
doing everything possible to enforce
the law made to protect the birds, of
this state. He is meeting with some
tough problems, including the reck
lessness of some men in Thomas and
Grady counties, in slaughtering birds
of ( and turkeys out of season. Mr.
Mercer recently made a visit here
with the desire to put a stop to this
practice. In a letter later to the
editor he commends the attitude of
the Times-Enterprise, and the meu
of Thomasville, who have interested
themselves in the matter.
His letter is in pa
as follows:
"The abundance of big game,
turkey and deer, in that part of
the state is a great temptation
and the hunters who have not
been restrained heretofore with
any law for their protection
should be discouraged, and while
the heavy hand of the law may
be necessary in some instances
to bring them to a proper ap
preciation of their duty as citiz
ens, editorials of the kind will
be sufficient for the average de
linquent, who may have trans
gressed the law.
"I shall do evertyhing that
can be from this office to im
press them with the fact that
the laws must be obeyed, an1
have taken steps to have the
hunting grounds along the
Ochlocknee policed, and those
who have violated the laws
prosecuted; but this Depart
ment needs the assistance of
the press in matters of this
kind and the writer greatlv ap
preciates your very sensible edi
torial referred to.”
Mr. Mercer does not propose
liable; but even today it fails to re
ceive the protection that is accorded
to property.
It is no uncommon thing 10 And
reported in British newspapers cases
in which a drunken navvy has kick
ed and otherwise abused his wife,
to receive no greater punishment
at the hands of the law than a paltry
fine, while the unhappy wight who,
driven by hunger, steals a loaf, is
sent to prison. .Nor do we need to
go oversea to find such instances of
the worship of property. An excel
lent illustration of the workings of
the legal mind in problems of this
kind is to be found in a study of ten
notices iudgmont, issued by the
Halted State* Department of Agri
culture and giving in detail the ac
count of ten violations of the Food
and Drugs Act.
These ten cases deal with charges
brought against the firm of Hawley
the candy business. Hawley and
Hoops sell what is known as ‘‘penny
goods ” that is, the kind of candy
purchased by the little tot who has
been given a penny to spend. Ten
different specimens of Hawley and
Hopps* penny goods were seized by
the officials of the Bureau of Chem
istry and analyzed. All of them were
found to lie adulterated with arsenic
and most of them contained shellac.
All of them were being sold as choc
olate candies, yet the officers re
ported that some did not even have
the predominating flavor of choco
late. In every case the firm pleaded
guilty. In nine of the ten cases,
no penalty was imposed, the court
suspending judgment. In the tenth
Case a fine of $50 was imposed. The
case in which a fine was imposed
was the one, and the only one, in
which the company had not merely
sold a poisonous product to children,

Atlanta, Sept. 24.—Gorgeous im

loot taken from warehouses in the
Chihuahua province of Mexico dur

the necks of several lucky Atlanta

when the furs were bought, the fair
purchasers had not the slightest

How they got to Atlanta is some
