Visitors t° Macon Heard Story of
Abandoned Baby, So Adopted
Two Orphans.
Two couples who were childless
when they came to Macon several
days aso, to see the Georgia State
Fair, departed Thursday for their
homes in Ashburn with little orphan
tots whom they had adopted for their
very own, says the Macon Telegraph.
“The couples, Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
Sherwood and Mr. and Mrs. A. H.
Perry, came to Macon with no inten
tion of adopting children, but fate ab
ruptly changed their plans on their
! arrival at the terminal station. There
I they saw a pretty little baby girl on
| her way to an orphan’s home.
“The baby was in the care of Mrs.
I Mary Douglas, of Quitman, who
I found the infant, so she stated, on
! her doorsteps early one morning
| three weeks ago. The baby was
I wrapped in an old black dress that
I was worn threadbare. She would
| have died of exposure in another
: hour if Mrs. Douglas had not discov-
| ere d her.
“Though she realizes from the ne-
j ginning that she would be unable to
I keep the child, Mrs. Douglas nursed
; it and loved it through the following
weeks. After the three weeks bud
! passed she brought the tot to Macon
j to put it in some home for the moth-
i c.'less.
Perry’s Choose Another Fondling
“While Mrs. Douglas and the baby
were waiting at the terminal for Rev.
T. W. Callaway of the Hephzihah Or
phanage to come and get the child,
j the couples from Ashburn arrived.
! They heard the pitiful tale of the
! little baby as they rested at the term-
I inal and then with thoughtful looks
I on their faces went on their fair-
j hound way.
“Rev. Mr. Callaway* carried the
woman and the baby to the orphan-
| age and there Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood
jfjund them the next morn ! ng when
| they went there with the determina
tion to adopt the lit'le tot for their
, own.
j “Mr. and Mrs. Perry, not knowing
that their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Sher-
; wood, had decided to adopt the child,
; made up ; heir minds to take it. When
they heard that it had already been
i adopted, they went to the Macon Hos
pital and selected “Baby King” as
j the nurses called her, who had been
abandoned by its mother, for their
little child.
“When the couples with their
children boarded the train for home
yesterday they were heavily supplied
with clothes and toys, and their faces
shone with happiness.’’
CHARACTER OF CROW NOT
AS BLACK AS PAINTED
That the crow’s character is not
as black ase it is usually painted is
disclosed by investigations made by
the Georgia department of agricul
ture. In fact, the department’s
“birdmen” say that much of the
work the crow"dees is of direct as
sistance to the farmer, for "Mister
Crow” wages warfare all summer
long on insect pests. In fact, insects
supply about one-fifth of its food, and
those whose he prefers in his diet
gre the worst insect pests the farmer
has to contend with—grasshoppers,
caterpillars and white grubs and
their parents, May beetles.
On the other hand, the crow raids
the cornfield and the poultry yard,
and kills small wild birds and destroys
their nests. From the evidence at
hand the crow’s merits and shortcom
ings appear about equally divided.
While it would not be well to give it
absolute protection, according to the
agricultural department, and thus af
ford the fanner no recourse when the
bird is doing damage, the department
believes that to adopt the policy of
killing every crow that comes within
gunshot would be equally unwise.

With coal at $ l 5.00 a ton, the joke is ghastly
Did the Power Companies perpetrate it upon t| „
Census Bureau?
We have in Georgia 80 more municipal electric lick
and power plants than private plants.
This excess of public over private plants is gr?a , e
than in any other State.
In spite of hampering laws, over 100 Georgia mu
nicipalities operate their own plants in the efronto • .
ply ii&Ht and power to the people. In accounting fo r
this the Bureau of Census says:
“In Georgia it is customary to use waste orodn s
from the lumber mills, which make a very inexpensive
fuel.”
Remarkable statement!
Do you know of one municipal plant using “waste"
from lumber mills to make steam to generate electricity^
On the contrary, you know—
Many of these municipal plants have been almost put
out of business by coal at $ 1 5 a ton.
The great majority have to buy fuel to operate their
plants—
Although' at their doors, the equivalent of 21,528-
500 tons of coal is being annually thrown away in our
undeveloped water powers.
The Water Power Bills advocated by the Municipal
League would bring relief to the villages, towns and
cities of Georgia.
The ‘ ‘waste’’ from lumber mills is not enough.
