TO HIVE EARLY
Bovine Banishment Comes After
Years of Bitter Strife Between
Warring Factions.
BATTLE !S NOT YET ENDED
Vengeance Sworn Against Coun-
cilrren Whose Star Chamber
Methods Forced Edict.
THOMASVILLE, April 19.—After
years of bitter strife and contention,
the cows of Thomasville have been
banished from the streets of the town.
Since the year 1, or thereabout, the
cows of Thomasvllle have been the
bone of contention in municipal noli-
tics. A stout-hearted, militant and
persistent minority ever has clamored
for cowless streets in Thomasvllle,
only to be overwhelmed and crushed
at the ballot box regularly, when, Jt
stated intervals, the question of cow
and anti-cow was submitted to the
people for settlement.
To-day, however, Mayor Luke
signed an ordinance, cleverly engi
neered through Council, which, for a
year at least, puts her cowship hors
de combat, or words to that effect,
and keeps her off the streets.
The Mayor himself opposed the
banishment of the cows, and, as a
matter of fact, was elected upon an
unmistakable pro-cow platform; but
he was rurt over roughshod by ni»
Council, and as he has no power of
veto, he uas compelled to take his
medicine. The anti-cow ordinance was
Juggled through by a vote of 5 to 3.
The Fight Goes Merrily On.
The pro-cowites have not surren
dered, nevtreheless. They point with
pride to the fact that whenever the
cow question has been submitted tJ
the people the pro-cow hosts have
prevailed handsomely. They say they
will make the cow issue the pain-
mount question in the next municipal
campaign, and that those recalcitrant
five Oouncilmen who dared banish the
bovine s, without popular warrant
and by star chamber methods, as It
were, shall be made to bite the po
litical dust, and even eat a portion
of it!
It has been many a day sine*'
Thomaaville was a cowless town. For
moons and moons the cows have
grazed at will throughout the mu
nicipality. snipping inviting hedges
here and there and nibbling dainty
tufts of succulent and tender grass
hither and yon. They never have
worked harm to any person, and save
in that now and then they have mao-
aged to get in the way of pedestrians,
scare old ladies and check the speed
of occasional automobiles, the cow*
ba\.' disturbed the sweet serenity cf
Thomasvllle not at all. Indeed, the
cow s of Thomasvllle so long have been
part and parcel of the landscape that
a cowlrss bird’s-'eye view of the town
win in a novelty end to many n
source rf much sorrow and regret.
Anti-Cow Contentions.
The anti-cows, temporarily trium
phant. contend that once Thomasvllle
gi ts :>-"d to its cowleas estate it will
like it tlrst-rate. if not fine. They say
that Thomasvtlle, having arrived at
that period of its existence when even
“Uncle Sam” unblushingly admits Its
population to be 6,789, ought not .o
b«- will’nit for the cows to roam its
thoroughfares at will. They hold, with
some show of reason—and the pro-
cowltes admit this—that It gives
strangers, particularly wealthy win
ter tourists, who are quite profitable
In many ways to Thomasville, a bad
Impression of the town to see cows
butting and browsing around unmo
lested, this way and that, just as if
Thomasville were a mere crossroads
village or railroad water tank, rather
than a growing and ambitious city,
duly incorporated under the laws of
Georgia as such.
These arguments, while weighty,
however, serve in no w ise to diminish
the inteni and purpose of the ram
pant and Insulted cowltes again to do
battle with their enemies before the
people. They look back over Thomas-
vllle’s long comradeship with the
cow, and their hearts are filled with
robust indignation that an uninstruct
ed City Council, of its own unimpor
tant motion, should seek the cow’s un
doing. By the great horn spoon and
the beard of the prophet, they swear
they never will stand for that!
Wherefore, although victory abides
nowadays with the anti-cow army, the
merry warfare not yet is finished, and
another day of reckoning is to come.
O F INTEREST to a wide circle
of friends was the marriage
last evening of Miss Bess
Wall and Mr. Frank Wineeoff. While
no cards were issued, and the cere
mony was witnessed by the im
mediate friends and relatives only,
the prominence and popularity of the
young couple made their marriage of
especial interest.
The wedding took place at the resi
dence of the bride’s brother and sis
ter, Mr. and Mrs. S. C, Prim. West
Peachtree Street, with whom she has
made her home for some time. Miss

The bridal party was grouped be
fore a bank of palms, arranged at
one end of the library. The floral
altar was flanked on either side by
vases of Killarney roses, and the
same flowers were banked on the
mantel. Hmilnx formed a mural dec
oration throughout the house, and
great branches of wild azaleas and
dogwood blossoms were intermingled
with the greenery in all apartments
open to guests.
The bride, exceedingly piquant and
pretty, wore white crepe meteor, the
draped skirt caught with pearl
buckles, and the long tulle veil was
adjusted with orange blossoms. She
carried a shower bouquet of bride
roses and ^alley lilies, and her orna
ment was u magnificent jewel, com
bining sapphires and diamonds, the
gift of the groom.
Mrs. J. W. Wall, of Eastman, the
bride’s mother, w*ore black crepe de
chine. Her sister, Mrs. S. C. Prim,
wore white embroidered marquisette.
Mrs. Wineeoff. the bridegroom’s
mother, wore, white chiffon draped
over w-hlte satin. His aunt, Miss
Elise Smith, of Florida, was gowned
in pink chiffon over satin, and Mrs.
Fleming Wineeoff wore blue satin and
lace.
In the receiving line was Mrs. Wal
ter Smith, a recent bride, wearing
yellow crepe de chine.
An Informal reception followed the
ceremony, and h buffet supper was
served. The bride’s table had for a
centerpiece a large basket of Killar
ney roses, with all decorative details
in pink and white. Punch wa» served
from two decorated bowls, one placed
on the front piazza nnd one in the
hall. Misses Brock Jeter. Gladys
Folks, Jane Cowles and Rebie Wilkins

Louise Meil held the bride’s book.
The young couple left for a wed

F
Georgia College Head Advocates
Land Ownership as Advance
to Education.
RICHMOND, VA., Abril 19.—The
tenant evil is largely responsible for
the butchery of Southern lands in
stead of their preservation, accord
ing to Dr. E. C. Branson, president of
the Georgia State Normal College,
who is now attending the Conference
for Education in the South, In this
city.
In an address before the business
men’s division of the conference. Dr.
Branson submitted figures showing
that 58 per cent of the tilled lands of
Georgia are in the hands of tenants,
whose only concern is to get as much
as possible from the land and to re
turn as little as possible. Tenancy,
he asserted, Is increasing in several
of the Southern States and is a prob
lem of growing proportions.
Until public spirited owners shall
provide means by which the frugal
tenant may become a landholder, he
declared, there will always be a se
rious obstacle in the way of better
farming methods and general educa
tion.
L.. A. Niven, another Georgia dele
gate, discussing farming for profit,
laid down the proposition that no
system of farming not based on the
principle of rotation of crops, could
be called profitable.
A similar talk was made by Harry
Hodgson, of Athens.
Walter G. Cooper, of Atlanta, was
among those named on a committee
to look into the question of creating
a sub-organization of a permanent
character in each county of each of
the Southern States, to be affiliated
with the conference. Mr. Cooper told
how the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce stimulates interest in rural
life by means of the annual corn
show.
In an address before the League
of Southern Women Writers, Miss
Mildred Rutherford, of Athens, made
an eloquent plea to let the world
know what the South can be doing
and what it shall be doing.

THE MAP with a vengeance these days. It is just four miles
from Decatur.
OAKHURST is between DECATUR and KIRKWOOD, and
there is no better way of telling you the kind of town OAK
HURST is than by stating the fact that though in 1910 it had
a population of only 233 it has since that time BONDED IT
SELF almost to the CONSTITUTIONAL LIMIT for a PUB

In TWO YEARS it has DOUBLED ITS POPULATION.
KIRKWOOD—adjoining Atlanta on the East—has nearly
DOUBLED ITS POPULATION during the past few years.

Ranging in price from $1,500 to $2,400, will be on the market Monday, April 20, 1913, on the pace-setting
terms of 10 per cent down and $25 per month. In February we sold 98 Ansley Park Lots in eleven days, four
of them rainy, as many as four signed offers were made for undivided lots. Twice 98 lots could have been
sold. Since February thousands of dollars have been spent on this tract, and it is now one of the BEAUTY
SPOTS of Atlanta. Developments beyond Ansley Park, between the Boulevard and Piedmont Avenue, have
made all Ansley Park lots the center of a UNIQUE SITUATION. The Golf Course is almost ready. It will
be completed before Summer. The love of Outdoor sports is Inherent. These Lots will put you next door to
the CLUB HOUSE, GOLF COURSE AND CHILDREN'S PLAY GROUNDS. Go out and see for yourself, take
a Look and You Take a Lot. Fancy a Country Club in the heart of a city; and yet this is almost what you have
at Ansley Park. THE OPEN COUNTRY, IDEAL SURROUNDINGS. Make these places appear more like
an estate in the country than city homes. In Ansley Park you have the two combined. These things add value
to the land. The number is limited to 15, and they will double in value in a few years. Ansley Park profits
are a part of the History of Atlanta. There have been a number of resales at 1 arge profits since February.
Things are going to happen in this particular spot; Watch It: Atlanta Has 150,000 people. How long do you
Suppose these 15 lots will last?
