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.” BAN ON DRY BATHING.

PEACH CHOP FAR T; s 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 , If you have anything to sell adver- |» tise in The Sunday American.

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.
