Measure, Modeled After Success
ful Law, Gives Society Officers
Power to Arrest.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
After week* of revision and study,
a bill for the prevention of cruelty
to animal* In Georgia has been
framed by a well known member of
the Incoming Legislature, and will bo
Introduced Jn the House soon after
the General Assembly meets this
month.
W. B, Barton, G Noble Jones and
Thomas Lynch, of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in
Georgia, compose the committee hav
ing the bill In hand for the Society
They will see that it is given atten
tion in the early part of the coming
Mission. No great opposition is an
ticipated.
Mr. Barton says that the new bill
covers the field thoroughly and leaves
no loophole through which possible
offenders may escape. It is modeled
after similar laws now in operation
In New York and Virginia, and gives
agents of the society full authority
to make arrest*, which Georgia’s
present law' relating to this subject
does not do. The S. P. C. A. In Georgia
ha? been handicapped in its work
thus far because of this omission in
the present law-.
“There is plenty of work for the
society to do,” said President Bar
ton. discussing the matter in Atlanta
today, “but the present law on the
subject is very meager. The reasons
why the societies of other states are
•o successful is that they have the
proper laws back of them. Under the
bill which we have framed, our agents
will be authorized to make arrests
end wear the uniform and badge of
the society.
“I have no doubt that the law will
he enacted this year. There was no
objection to the bill we had before
the legislature last year, which was
very similar to this one. It wan fa
vorably reported by the Judiciary
committee of both houses, but it was
so near the end of the session that
the bill was lost in the rush of busi
ness, and did not come up for a vot£
The hill has already been passed upon
and Interpreted by the court* of the
State and we are not looking for any
opposition from that source, or any
other.”
What* promises to constitute the
most fruitful branch of* the S. P. C.
A.'s Georgia work are the four hands
of mercy recently organized by Pres
ident Barton, among the achooi chil
dren of the State. These children
are taught humane treatment of all
dumb beasts, and are entering en
thusiastically into the work. The
bands now number 150 members, and
ere ender the supervision of Mrs.
Josephine Freeland, of Savannah.
Representative Frank Rhodes, of
Clark County, near neighbor to all
the territory concern#*!, is enthu
siastically in favor of creating the
proposed new county of Barrow, and
speaks interestingly of the necessity
thereof.
“Winder, which 1s one of the very
best cities in all Georgia,” said Mr.
Rhodes, discussing the proposition to
day ‘is now most unfortunately sit
uated.
‘Three counties corner in the town,
and yet it Is twenty good mile* and
more from the county »eat of any
one of the three. A big rock in the
middle of the main street of Winder
show* where the three counties—
Gwinnett, Jackson and Walton—come
together.
It frequently happens, as an ex
ample to the disadvantages Winder
labors under, that an administrator
having property to dispose of and
handle in Winder, ha* to take out pa
pers of administration in thr-*e
counties in order to he able to meet
the requirements of the law.
"The people of Winder are a unit
practically for the new county, and
there is little real opposition to the
project anywhere. I know' the con
ditions in Winder, and the surround
ing territory, and 1 know the people
need relief from a situation that is
almost unendurable. I have talked
with a number of members of th<>
Incoming house, moreover, and 1
believe the new county will be cre
ated.
”1 am not a crank on the mibject
of new counties, but 1 expect to glv-*
my hearty support to Barrow, for 1
know it Is a most deserving proposi
tion. Indeed, 1 believe the Legisla
ture would be doing a positive wrong
not to create It.
“Territorially, and according to
population and necessity, Barrow
county has every claim to favorable
legislative consideration.”
Anticipating the coming of the
Legislature within three* weeks, Col
onel Pierce I^atimer, Keeper of
Buildings and Grounds, is busy ns he
can be nowadays renovating and
cleaning up the State CapUol.
During legislative recesses. the
chambers of the two houses are visit
ed only by occasional sightseers, and
are about aa lonesome as any place
around the Capitol, if not more so.
Consequently, it generally takes quite
a good deal of brushing, sweeping,
painting and fixing around in one
way and another to get things jn
•hape for the fifty days each year
when t4ie chambers serve a real pur
pose to the State.
When the gavel* fall on the 25th
day of this month, however. Mr. Lati
mer will have the houses fixed up
after the fashion of Spotless Town,
all right.
Governor-elect John M. Slaton is
hard at work on his inaugural ad
dress and first message to the Gen
eral Assembly.
Mr. Slaton i* not giving out any
Idea of what subjects he will treat
of in either utterance, however, and
contents himself with informing in
quirers that they will enjoy his mes
sages more if they will await their
official delivery.
The Governor-elect keep* regular
hours at hie offices in the Grant
Building in Atlanta, and such time as
he devote* to state documents is
enatched from the time he spends at
home
After hisvinauguration, of course,
the Governor-elect will abandon his I
practice. I
