F
Measure, Modeled After Success-1
ful Law, Gives Society Officers
Power to Arrest.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
After week® of revision and study,
« bill for the prevention of cruelty
to animals in Georgia has been
framed by a well known member of
the incoming Legislature, and will be
introduced in the Houno 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, oompose 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 corning
session. No great opposition is an
ticipated.
Mr. Barton says that the new bill
rovers the field thoroughly and leaves
no loophole through which possible
offenders may escape. It is modeled
after similar laws now in operation
tn New York and Virginia, and giv^s
agents of the society full authority
to make arrests, which Georgia’s
present law relating to this subject
doee 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, "but the present law on the
subject is very meager. The reasons
why the societies of other states are
successful is that thev have the
proper laws bark 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 w-as
very similar to this one. It was fa
vorably reported by the judiciary
Committee of both houses, hut it was
so near the end of the session that
the bill was ost in the rush of busi
ness, and did not come up for a vote.
The bill has already been passed upon
and Interpreted by the courts of th* 5
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.’k Georgia work are the four bands
of mercy recently organized by Pres
ident Barton, among the school chil
dren of the State. These children
a-f taught humane treatment of a
dumb beasts, and are entering en
thusiastically into the work. The
bands now number 150 members, and
are under the supervision of Mrs.
Josephine Freei&nd. of Savannah.

Representative Frank Rhodes, of
Clark County, near neighbor to all
tbe territory concerned, is enthu
siastically In favor of creating the
proposed new county of Barrow, 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 tne three. A big rock In the
middle of the main street of Winder
shows where the three counties —
Gwinnett, Jackson a.,d Walton—come
together.
It frequently happens, as an ex
ample to the disadvantages Winder
labors under, that nn 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 th»
project a ns iere. I know the con
ditions in Winder and the surround
ing territory, and I 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 I
b* lieve the new county w ill 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 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.”

During legislative recesses. the
chambers of the two houses are visit
ed only by occasional sightseers, and
are about as lonesome is any place

Consequently, it generally takes quite
a good deal of brushing, sweeping,
painting and fixing around in one
way and another to get things n
shape for the fifty days each year
when the chambers serve a real pur
pose to the State.

mer will havp the houses fixed up

BY HUGH S. MILLER.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 4 —It
is to the South that the nation must
look for restoration of its meat sup
ply. according to the department of
agriculture.
"The South has great possibilities
for the future as a cattle raising coun
try, "says a bulletin issued by the
department.
"Development of the cattle raising
industry In the South, however, must
await the extermination of the cat
tle tick. Fortunately this Is being
rapidly accomplished by the Joint ef- '
forts of the Government and the i
States. The time has come when w r e
must conserve our meat supply and |
take steps to increase it, and at the j
present remunerative prices for food I
animals it is probable that this will
be gradually accomplished.
"The shortage in the supply of
meat producing animals in the Un
ited States Ih steadily becoming more
pronounced, and It Is evident that
the country Is facing an era of short
production of meat. In the last six
years there lias been a decline of over
thirty per cent, in the. number of
beef cattle in the country, while the
population and the consequent de
mand for meat has Increased.
"The beef cattle in thp country on
Jan. 1, 1907, numbered 51,566,000; at
the beginning of the present year the
number w«*» only 36,030,000. High
prices were poid l«#»t year. For in
stance native steers brought $7.95 in
Chicago, as against $6.50 the year
before. We no longer have cattle for
export and for the first time in our
history the United States Imported
more in 1912 -than it exported."j
