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 after the fashion of Spotless Town, all right.
