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.

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.
