jrvssmr. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. The Sweetest Note By QUILL. 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.

LOUC CHOPinS NOCTURnF$ 1 N10VS 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.
