By JAMES B. NEVIN.
After weeks of revision and study,
a bill for the prevention of cruelty
to animals in Georgia has been
framed by a well known member of
the incoming Legislature, and will he
introduced in 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
session. 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 arrests. which Georgia's
present law relating to this subject
does not do. The S. P. C. A. in Georgia
has 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, “hut the. present law on the
subject is very- meager. The reasons
why the societies of other states are
so successful is that thev have the
proper laws back of them. Under the
bill which we have framed, our agents
will be authorized to make arrests
and wear the uniform and badge of
the society.
"I have no doubt that the law will
be 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 was fa
vorably reported by the judiciary
committee of both houses, but It was
so near the end of the session that
<li»* 1'ill was inst In tin* rush <*f busi
ness, and did not come up for a vote.
The bill has already been passed upon
and interpreted by the courts 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 bands
of mera v recently organised by Pres
1de«i Barton, among the school chil
dren of the State. These children
are taught humane treatment of all
dumb beasts, and are entering en
thusiastically Into the work. The
hands now number IRC members, and
are under the supervision of Airs
Josephine Freeland, of Savannah.
Representative Frank Rhodes. <>f
Clark County, near neighbor to all
the territory concerned, is enthu
siastically in favor of creating the
proposed new county of Rnrrow. and
speaks interestingly of the necessity
thereof.
“Winder, which is 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 miles and
more from the county seat of any
one of the three. A big rock In the
middle of the main street of Winder
shows where the three counties—
Gwinnett. Jackson and Walton—come
together.
It frequently happens, as an ex
ample to the disadvantages Winder
labors under, that at. administrator
having property to dispose of and
handle in Winder, has to take out pa.
pers of administration in thr*e
counties in order to be 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 the
incoming house, moreover, and 1
believe the new county will be cre
ated.
I am not a crank on the subject
of new counties, but I expect to giv-»
my hearty support to Barrow, for I
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 Latimer, Keeper of
Buildings and Grounds, is busy as lie
can be nowadays renovating and
cleaning up the State Capitol.
During legislative recesses, the
chambers of the two houses are visit
ed only by occasional sightseers, and
are about as 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 in
shape for the fifty days each year
when the chambers serve a real pur
pose to the State.
When the gavels fall on the 25th
day of this month, however. Mr. Lati
mer will have the houses fixed Up
