C&vqlzos Plays Well
The Pa.rt of Woman
Cavazos, the woman impersona¬
tor at the Lyric Theatre, certainly
had some of ’em going Thursday
night before they learned that he
was right the reverse to what he
looked like and acted like—a wo¬
man. Indeed he is one of the
best women impersonators that
has ever appeared at the Lyric,
doing a very knobby dancing and
act, which was received
with vociferous applause from the
audience.
For next week, the Lyric an¬
nounces a novelty bill played by
the Jack Davis the first half, and
St Clair, character singing
dancing comedienne the la.-t
half.
Famous Convict
In Lee
The commissioners of Lee coun¬
ty have just received five new con¬
victs for work on the public roads.
These convicts are all white, and is
the largest number of white con¬
victs used by the authorities at
any previous time. It seems that
a number of those on the chain-
gang will soon be out, and the
consequence is that the county has
an unusually small force. Among
the recent arrivals is the noted A.
D. Oliver, who taught the Climax
people a few new wrinkles' in up-
to-date finance and who was much
mixed up in wedlock with a cer¬
tain “Rosebud” of Sv,uth Georgia
fame. From all accounts Oliver
was well up to all thegaits^in high
finance, and though he was wrong
we can’t help out have a streak of
sympathy for him. One thing
seems certain—he was a smooth
number and when he fell it appears
that many who had sought to fat¬
ten on him turned and tried to
rend him after he had fallen, and
from accounts they stood well in
that community.—L e e s b u r g

NOTICE
Postmaster Marston requests us
to notify the public that during the
month of May, the Post Office De¬
partment requires that every piece
of mail matter that passes through
the Office shall be assorted and
counted, the natural consequence
being that the working force of
the Post Office will require more
time than usual to prepare it for
delivery. This notice is given in
order that the patrons of the Office
will understand if they fail at any
time during the month of May to
get their mail as quickly as usual,

Saving The Birds.
In its campaign against the
of the boll weevil, The
Telegraph urges that all
of quail be stopped by law
four years. Partridges are in¬
foes to insects of all kinds,
besides, the almost unrestrain¬
slaughter of recent years prom¬
if perimtted to continue, to
the State’s most valuable
bird.
The suggestion is a good one, but
might well be carried further
made to apply to other species

before the ruthless hunter.
declare that insects
make the world upinhabit-
if they were allowed to multi¬
unrestrained for a half dozen
Of course, many insects are
parasitical and by making war
each other keep down the sup¬
but the birds are perhaps man’s
friends in his contest with the
of small life, and if it were
for them the loss through the
of bugs would be
many millions of dollars a year.
feathered helpers removed,
those insects we have with us would
become a serious menace not to
mention others like the boll weevil,
which threaten to invade our lands
and attack our crops.
But man shows little gratitude
to his bird friends. The best of them
like the partridge and the robin,
he slays for the mere fun of killing,
and by a strange paradox, leaves
those which are no service and of
great harm, like the English spar¬
row, unharmed.
Georgia needs better and strong¬
er laws for the protection of the
quail and of all other game or
friendly birds—in fact, for all
game.
Our present laws are too liberal,
but no adequate means are afford¬
ed for enforcing them. No one
ever hears of a prosecution for
their violation. The country negro
and his musket are rapidly elimin¬
ating many of the best species, and
the time may come when out of
self-protection we may have to
adopt the rigorous measures of
