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* that cotton picking time is on. Fo* two years the people have been han dicapped by uncertain and shiftless iabor.

The Brunswick Banner thinks that women are braver than men. Must have met with some determin ed females during its stay in Bruns wick. 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, FURS FROM;, COURT SR6RT BUT VERY PROFITABLE Atlanta, Sept. 24.—Gorgeous im ported furs that were part of the loot taken from warehouses in the Chihuahua province of Mexico dur ing the Madero revolution, will adorn the necks of several lucky Atlanta society women this Fall—though when the furs were bought, the fair purchasers had not the slightest idea where they came from. How they got to Atlanta is some thing of a romantic mystery.
