TTTE ATLXNTA CEOROTAN ANF NEWf 3 FRIDAY. A! AY 2:1, 1012,. T IS T 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.” BAN ON DRY BATHING.
