Policeman Friendly to Wandering
Animals Is Haled Before City
Council for Trial.
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
The ancient and merry cow and
anti-cow warfare has broken loose
In Thomasvllle once more.
While North Georgia statesmen
fight and scrap over the loavns and
fishes of ordinary political persua-
nlon, Thomasville can never find time
from its cow war to get in the real
big game up state.
Not long ago, an anti-cow ordi
nance was slipped through Council,
but as was predicted, It has not serv
ed to keep grand Old Sis Cow off
the streets of the town. Grave and
reverend city councillors may lead,
'“•or drive, the friends of Sis Cow to
water, but they cannot make them
drink.
The Council may order tho police
force to arrest the cows astray on
the city thoroughfares, but if the po
liceman will not obey the Council’s
mandate, what is the Council going
to do about it?
That is the momentous question
now agitating Thomasville to the
verge of strenuous internecene strife
once more.
Not long since, Alderman Bennett,
anti-cow, ordered Policeman Naze-
worth, pro-cow, to arrest a cow the
alderman discovered at large about
town.
Policeman Nazeworthr who is ro
tund and good natured. a lover of
nature and of cows, didn’t exactly
refuse to execute the aldermanic
ukase, but he fooled around and put
it off. upon one pretext and another,
until his honor got mad, and had
the policeman haled before Council
for refusing to obey orders.
The policeman told Council he in
tended no disrespect to the aider-
man, and that, after a while, when
he got through with seven or eleven
other tasks, he had intended chasing
that cow into the "pound,” not that
he had anything -against cows, in
fact he rather liked them, but that
he was a faithful officer, kn^w his
•dutj*. and would perform it. if given
» tim^. and permitted to Judge for- him
self how much, etc.
The Council, rather skittish about
the cow issue in Thomasville, anyway,
laughed, dismissed the charges
against Policeman Nazeworth, and
told him to go his way, and sin no
more.
Alderman Bennett didn’t like it
much* but what could he do when
S^-.sed that way to back
him up?
The pro-cow hosts in Thomasville,
therefore, have taken heart over the
outcome of the issue thus precipi
tated by Alderman Bennett and met
bo gallantly by Policeman Naze worth,
and there is renewed talk of an
other red-hot municipal campaign in
Thomasville, with the cow as the
burning issue.
In Thomasville, if nowhere else in
this world, age cannot wither nor
custom stale th* j infinite variety ol
grand Old Sis Cow!
Senator M. C. Tarver, of Whitfield,
will introduce in the next Legislature
a bill to legalize suspension of sen
tence in criminal cases, in the discre
tion of the presiding judge, and tc
provide for probation officers.
Senator Tarver, who is in Atlanta,
discussing his bill said:
"I am convinced that the passage
of these measures will work a gen
uine reform in the administration of
the criminal laws of the State. 1
do not fully agree with the idea that
imprisonment for crime is wholly for
reformation and not for punishment,
and 1 hold that where punishment
alone will operate to deter crime, it
Is all right. Beyond question, the
reformation of criminals, however, is
the ultimate object of punishment.
“I regard the suspension of sen
tence in certain cases an ideal re
straint against crime.
"Of the 2.688 penitentiary convicts
June 1, 1911, 1,304 were between the
ages of 20 and 29 years—practically
* 50 per cent. It is hard to believe
' that of such a large number, all
♦Xoung men, and nearly all first of
fenders, the judges could not have
found many worthy of another chance
through suspended sentence.”

Highest Estimate Puts Total Yield
of State at 1,450 Cars—Five
Thousand Last Year.
The Georgia peach crop this year
wJU not exceed 1,450 carloads, which
is 50 per cent less than the city of
New York alone purchased last year.
H. D. Marks, manager of the Geor
gia Fruit Exchange, estimates the to
tal Georgia crop at 1,454 cars. The
I Fruit Growers’ Express figures 1,349
cars, while the Central of Georgia
Railway looks for only 1,312.
Last year the Georgia crop was
unusually large, 5,000 varloads of
Georgia’s favorite fruit being shipped
to market. New York City, always
the greatest consumer of the sea
son’s early delicacies, purchased
2,800 carloads. Still, there were more
than 3,000 carloads for home con-
; sumption and country-wide distrlbu-
j tion. This year New York alone will
i demand more than the entire State
: can supply.
Last year the growers realized, orf
I the season’s average, $575 per car-
j load, gross, in New York. This sea
son’: short crop will send the price
I soaring. Early shipments may bring
|.as high as $1,000 a car. although the
season’s average will be less,
i Railroads have already begun pre-
J paring to handle the top. All F. <7.
E. cars received by the Central of
Georgia are being parked in the Fort
Valley and Marshallville yards. This
road has requisitioned 1,200 c ars from
the Fruit Growers’ Express.
Mr. Marks experts the first car
load of Greensboro peaches, the ear
liest variety, between June 3 and 5.
Carmen peaches will begin to move
between June 15 and 18; Hihley Bills
June 23: Georgia Rills, June 30,* and
Elbert a crops will be exceedingly
(short. Only the Hihley Rills and
| Georgia Bills will be gathered in great
amounts.
Heavy rains, preventing polleniza-
tion, caused the crop shortage, ac
cording to Mr. Marks. Central of
Georgia officials attribute the falling
off to early frosts.
Says New York Is
Tending to Paganism
NEW YORK, May 23.—"The idea of
liberty in this country is a farce,”
says Sir Robert Perks, Bart., who
has been visiting America.
“New York is leaning, and leaning
j hard, towards paganism. Unless your
i peopla return to the elementary forms
of Christianity there will be an age
; of decadence in your country foliow-
j ed by a revolt which will overthrow
the whole social system.
But Polly Needn't
Worry Any More
CHICAGO, May 23 Polly, the $300
parrot, for ten years a lively inmate
of tpe home of the Rev. J. W. Lib-
bertson, pastor of the Sacramento
Boulevard church, flew out of a win
dow and with a shriek, "I should
worry!” entered the home of Mrs. C.
F. Hall, some distance off.
A large hrindle cat was in the room
when Polly landed. The parrot's yells
could be heard above the yowls of the
oat. Mrs. Hall ran for the police and
met Mrs. Llbbertson.
"There’s a ghost in my house.” she
said. It cries like a child, but it flies
around like a spirit and hollers, ‘1
should worry!'”
Mrs. Llbbertson burst in the door.
The large hrindle cat occupied the im
mediate foreground. There was an
expression of deep satisfaction on the
cat's countenance and a few feathers .
and a bedk on the carpet. * I ,

A Most Remarkable Sale of Summer Dresses
l $5.95 to $8.50 Summer Dresses $3
We buy a great many dresses from certain
makers at regular prices. Then at the end of
their season they favor us with their surplus
stocks greatly under price. That is how these
dresses—though worth $5.95 to $8.50—come to
us to sell at a profit at $3.85.
New as the. morning -shown to-morrow for
the first time. Made of soft white voiles and lingeries,
prettily developed in embroideries and laces. Cool, in
viting styles for summer wear. One hundred and eighty-
seven (187) in the lot, and choice is only $3.85.
Stop Experimenting
If you use a simple toilet prepara
tion and it proves to he worthless,
you only lose money. When you use
a questionable depilatory, however, it
is a very serious matter because you
not only lose money, but you take tho
grave risk of permanent disfigure
ment.
If You Value Your Face
use De Miracle, the one safe, perfect
ed hair remover of proven merit. Re
member, the injury caused by the use
of doubtful hair removers will either
I result in permanent disfigurement or
cost you many dollars because it will
take months or possibly years to gain
control of hair growths which have
been stimulated by the use of such
preparations.
Be^Iliraefe
Only Real Hair Remover on Earth
De Miracle contains certain ingre
dients which give it the power to rob
hair of its vitality. Therefore you
must eventually use it to retard and
gain control of growths which have
been caused by the unwise use of
questionable depilatories. Is it not
tafer and wiser to begin using De
Miracle now, before the growth gets
beyond control?
Leaves No Tell-Tale Smell
If you use De Miracle it will be im
possible for any curious person to
know that you have used a hair re
mover because De Miracle evaporates
immediately after accomplishing its
work, therefore leaves no odor what
ever. On the other hand, if you use
any depilatory with a distinctive odor,
an. offensive tell-tale smell will cling
to your skin for hours If your dealer
will not supply you with De Miracle,
send $1.00 direct.
