4 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.
