STATE GAME WARDEN MERCER
AROUSED OVER GENERAL VIO
LATION OF THE LAW.
WANY PROMINENT MEN MARKED
There Will Be 500 Prosecutions in‘
southwest Georgia, the Butcheryi
of Birds Being Generally Confined
(o This Section. |
More than 500 prosecutions have
already resulted and will result from
violations of the state game law as
t 0 that most wanton of all game
yuichering, dove baiting.
grate Game Warden Mercer is
aroused over the general violation
& ¢his clause in the game law for
ihe season just closed, and he is go
o after the violators without
. One feature of this game
violation is the fact that practically
all engaged in it are men of promi
nence and standing in their commu
nities.
Most of the prosecutions will be
in Southwest Georgia, and some of
them it is reported, here in Terrell
county.
[n Sumter county a banker who
was one of the most enthusiastic
men in the state for the new game
law and aided the warden in organiz
ing a club in Americus for the pro
tection of game and to aid in up
nolding the law, is himself guilty of
45 violations of the dove baiting sec
tion. He bagged on one baited field
105 birds in one day, which is 65
more than the legal limit of 40 for a
single day’s shoot, and furthermore
the killing of doves on baited fields
is strictly against the law.
Special Bait Tls Sold.
warden Mercer has found that in
sections of the state, particularly in
southwest Georgia, where the doves
qre more numerous because they
find the food they like best, that spe
cial kinds of feed stuff is sold regu
larly to bait dove fields. :
il, vears past Lee county was more
widely known for the slaughter of
doves on baited fields than any other
county. One day’s kill there often
ran to 9,000 and 10,000. Lee, Ter
rell, Turner, Dougherty and other
counties hereabout are the worst of
fenders, for, according to Warden
Mercer., about ten counties in this
section have more doves than all the
rest of the state put together.
RBefore the law was passed prohib
iting dove baiting this sport was con
fined almost wholly to Southwest
Georgia, although some of it occurred
in Central Georgia. Hunters were in
Atlanta when the game law was un
der consideration to protest against
it as to the baiting, because they said
the birds had been drawn to South
west Georgia in the past and were no
lonzer to be found in middle Geor
sia It is a fact, however, that fields
have been baited about Athens and
alone the Georgia road this year,
and doves have appeared in numbers
and have been killed.
“U'nless a stop is put to dove bait
ing this bird will soon vanish from
our state,”’ says Warden Mercer. $l6
- is too bad that men of prominence
‘ and standing in the commurity are
the ones violating this section of the
law. I am going to prosecute every
violator 1 can find regardless of his
standing. In many cases light fines of
only $lO are imposed, and those en
gaging in this slaughter do not mind
paving this small amount for the
sport they get out of it.”
Warden Mercer has been spending
much of his time since the close of
the zame season on March Ist inves
tigatinz such cases, and has turned
up many of them. And he will turn
up many more before he quits, be
cauce he is aroused over the matter.

HOTELS FOR PRISONERS BE

Costs City $lO a Day to Keep Mem
bers of the Alimony Club in Jail.
NEW YORK.—It costs the city
$lO 4 day to keep each civil prisoner
in the Ludlow street jail, according
to a report which investigators have
drepared for Mayor Gaynor. The
jail is known as the ‘“alimony ciub,”
because the prisoners there are main-
Iy men who have refused to pay ali
mony,
According to the investigators
some of the prisoners have more
comforts at the jail than they did at
home, There are twenty-four at
tendants in the jail, while there are
seldlom more than a dozen prisoners
i“i‘i sometimes as few as three or
four. The investigators will present
Qfi~w' to show that the city‘ could
'A‘; money by boarding both prison
's and guards at the best hotels.
~ees A Human Match Factoryom——
The body contains phosphorus sufficient to make 483,000 matches. Phos
phorus is one of fourteen elements composing the body—divided among
h”“‘{s' flesh, nervous system and other organs. The perfect health of body
requires a perfect balance of the elements. These elements come from the
food we eat—the stomach extracts and distributes them.
But if stomach is deranged—the balance of health is destroyed and the
blood does not carry the proper elements to the different organs, and there
is blood trouble—nerve trouble—heart trouble. Pain is the hungry cry of
starved organs. Put the liver, stomach and organs of digestion and nutri
tion into a condition of health. That is just what is done by

INDIANS’ CONGRESS \
SOON TO MEET
Arrangements for Organization at
Washington Compieted at Meet
i ing of Tribal Delegates.
WASHINGTON.—Congress, when
it reconvenes, will find a rival in the
capital, for it developed today plans
have been made to establish here an
organization to be known as the In
dian congress.
The arrangements were approved
‘at a meeting of several tribal Indians
and their representatives last night.
The congress will have one resident
delegat> from each of the various In
dian tribes of the country.
Each delegate will receive a sal
ary, the amount to be determined by
the ccuncil of each tribe, to be paid
cut of the tribal funds. The primary
object of the congress v-ill be to leok
after the interests of the Indians be
fore the government and congress.
The Indian newspaper, the Toma
hawk, now printed on the White
Earth reservation in Minnesota, is
also to be located here, and it is ex
pected publication of the paper in
Washington will begin by the time
the extra session of congress con
venes.
NOT WORRIED ABOUT FINANCES
Governor-Elect Slaton Says State’s
Bonds Will Be Duly Paid.
Governor-elect John M. Slaton
says there will be no trouble about
taking care of the state’'s debt, and
that the bonds which fall due in
1915 will be duly paid. He says it
is only a matter of detail to arrange
for the new bonds.
“The credit of Georgia is good”
he says, ‘“and the entire property of
the state is pledged to take care of
its bonded indebtedness. The West
ern and Atlantic railroad alone is
worth many times the state’s debt,
and under the law the bonded in
debtedness cannot be increased. A
legislative committee, acting ‘with
the governor and the state treasurer,
ought to be able to easily arrange
the whole matter without any troub
le.”

The American Soldiers Cannot Walk
With Dusky Belles.
No more can the American fighting
man in Manila walk hand in hand
in the moonlight with his brown
skinned, starry-eyed sweetheart, for
the war department at Washington
has learned that Col. George K.
Hunter of the Seventh cavalry has
issued an order prohibiting the men
of the Manila garrison from appear
ing in public with native women,
The order was imperative, and
reads: ‘“‘Members of this command
are hereby forbidden to be seen in
public and in the company of the
native women, except those men who
are married to such women.”
‘ No explanation of the reasons gov
erning the order accompanied the
’report. It is understood the prohibi
tion will not prevent the men who
have lost their hearts to the brown
skinned girls from courting them in
the privacy of their homes. -

As far as he can go President Wil
son has, up to this time, done what
he can to break up that disgraceful
partnership of this great government
in the abominable and wicked liquor
traffic. For this and all else that
comes of this act of the united head
of the white house family let us
thank God and be joyful.
More vet comes for us to be glad
in. It is said that the vice president
and his wife are both very pronvunc
edly opposed to the use of wine and
liquor. And still more is for us. The
secertary of state, William J. Bryan,
and his wife, are also bitterly oppos
ed to the use of wines and liquors.
And Speaker Clark, it is said, is a
teetotaler. My! What in the world
is coming to pass? Is Washington
to become headquarters of the tem
perance movement in this great na
tion? What will the liquor people
do? My countrymen, what a change
has come in and around Washington.
May it continue to grow all along the
line. Would that all of the men
holding inferior official positions in
our government would follow the de
cent and right course of the president
and his wife, as to the serving of
wines, even on big social occasions
and governmental functions.—Wes

“PETTICOATED” |
ASSAULT COMING
Sufiragette Sister From His Own
Constituency Will Buttonhole
Statesman for Votes,
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Petticoat
ed ‘“messengers from home,” in the
shape of suffragists, will descend
upon congress when it reconvenes
April Tth. One delegate from each
congressional district will march in
a procession that day from a mass
meeting in a downtown theatre to
the capital, each delegate to button
hole her own particular representa
tive and insist upon his influence to
ward getting the ballot for women.
The senate will also be invaded.
It was announced today that these
“messengers from home’ also would
renew the charges of incompetency
against the local police for their al
leged failure to protect the women in
the suffrage parade of March 3rd.
These charges will be in the form
of resolutions adopted by various
civic organizations in the several
states.
i THE EARTH'S JOURNEY. }
It Is Now On Outward Stretch ofl
| a 400,000,000-Year Trip. ‘
Our world’s journey in space is ai
long one if we are to accept the con-'
clusions of Dr. Turner of the univers
ity observatory of Oxford and Prof.’
H. C. Plummer, royal astronomer ofi
Ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that the sun and its planets,
form a single unit in a vast system,
the stars in which, though separated‘
by enormous distances, have a com- |
mon center of gravity and in re-s
sponse to gravitation all move in uni- |
son like a stupendoas machine. The'
paths of these stars, instead of beingi
nearly circular, like those of the;
planets around the sun, are much |
like the oscillations of a pendulum.!
The calculations show that on this‘
elongated course our sun must travel |
400,000,000 years before completing |
a revolution, and that it passed near |
the center less than a mtllion-—per-f
haps not more than 300,000—-—years‘
ago, and is now on the outward!

STRONG DELEGATION OUTLINES
CAUSE TO PRESIDENT, WHO
IS OPEN-MINDED.
NO PLEDGES WERE 6IVEN
Chief Executive Very Courteous to
Women, But Says His Mind Is No«
Made Up on Subject. Calls Zwn
Words on Him.
WASHINGTON.—Suffrage for the
women of the United States by a con
stitutional amendment was formally
presented (o President Wilson today
by a committee of national leaders in
the movement., Mr. Wilson was urg
ed to recommend to the special ses
sion of congress action on such an;
amendment, but he told his visitors
he had not made up his mind on the‘
suffrage question. ]
‘The president was courteous and
sympathetic throughout,” said Mrs.
Ida Husted Harper of New Yerk, one
of . the leaders of the National Wo
man’s Suffrage Association. ‘“‘He said
there were many pressing questions
to come up at the extra session and
that if he did not recommend action
on the matter he did not want it to
be taken as an indication of his gen
eral attitude, as he was not commit
ting himself yet.”
Encouragement Given.
Other members of the party said
the president viewed the woman suf
frage idea as a question of great po
litical importance. There were indi
cations, they said, that the president
was opan minded on the subject. The
committee had a half hour of the
president’s time. Mrs. Harvey Ww.
Wiley of the Housekeepers’ Alliance
set forth the value of suffrage from
the viewpoint of the mother in in
fluencing society. Mrs. Claude V.
Stone pointed out the difficulties of
obtaining suffrage through amend
ments to the state constitutions; |
Miss Bartlett Dixon and Miss Alice |
Paul, chairman of the committee |
seeking woman suffrage, set thef;
question before the president as onc,
equivalent in importance to emanci
pation of the negro.
“Tyvery word you have said,” they
told the president ‘‘for the political
liberty of men can be applied for the
political liberty of women.”
Calls Own Words On Him. ‘
Mrs. Harper smilingly informed.
the president that there never were
such arguments made for woman suf
frage as he himself had given in his
last book. She quoted the following
passage:
“T don’'t want a smug of experts to|
sit down behind closed doors in
Washington and play providence to
me. If any part of our people want
to be wards, if they to have guard
jans put over them, if they want to
be taken care of, if they want to be
children, patronized by the govern—‘
ment, why I am sorry, because it will
sap the manhood of Amprica.” ‘
COW GAVE TEN TONS OF MILK.
Breaks Record for Quantity of Milk
and Also Pounds of Butter.
Maid Henry is the phenomenal cow
at the Kansas agricnltural college
who, although she is 13 years old,
still is making records in milk pro
duction. Her fiscal year ended re
cently. The figures at the dairy de
partment disclose the fact that Maid
Henry gave almost 10 tons of milk
last year—l9,6oo pounds, to be ex
act. She produced 716 pounds of
burter fat, which is equivalent to 830
pounds of butter, and her average
test throughout the year was 3.65 per
cent.
