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 Thomasville once more.
While North Georgia statesmen
fight and scrap over the loaves and
fishes of ordinary political persua-
eionr 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 the 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 tnternecene strife
once more.
Not long since, Alderman Bennett,
anti-cow r , ordered Policeman Naze-
w’orth, pro-cow’, to arrest a cow the
alderman discovered at large about
town.
Policeman Naze worth, 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, knew his
duty, and would perform it. if given
time, 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
Council refused 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
so gallantly by Policeman Nazeworth.
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
custtfm stale the infinite variety of
grand Old Sis Cow!
Senator M. C. Tarver, of Whitfield,
will Introduce in the next Legislature
a bill to legalize suspension of een-
tenoe in criminal cases, in the discre
tion of the presiding judge, and to
provide for probation officers.
Senator Tarver, who Is in Atlanta,
discussing his bill said:
‘T am convinced that the passage
of these measures will work a gen
uine reform in the administration of
the criminal laws of the State. I
do not fully agree with the idea that
imprisonment for crime is wholly for
reformation and not for punishment,
and I fjold that where punishment
alone will operate to deter crime, it
1» 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
young men, and nearly all first of
fenders, the judges could not have
found many worthy of another chance
through suspended sentence.”

The Georgia peach crop this year
will 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
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 carloads of
Georgia’s favorite fruit being shipped
to market. New York City, always
the greatest consumer of the sea

2,800 carloads. Still, there were more i

met Mrp. Libbertson.
"There’s a ghost in my house." she
said. "It cries like a child, but it flies
around like a spirit and hollers, ‘I

Mrs. Libbertson burst in the door.
