Reports Submitted at the 41 st
Annual Meet of S. P. C. A.
The Officers Were Re-elected—Report of the President Was
Made in Which He Called Attention to Important Matters.
The forty-first annual meeting: of the
Georgia S. P. C. A. was held at its of
fice in the King building on Wednes
day, April 29th, at 12:00 m„ the pres
ident in the chair.
In the absence of the secretary. Rev.
C. X. Verdel was requested to act in
that capacity. The president's report
was read and confirmed.
The secretary and treasurer being
absent, there was no report of the de
tails of the work or statement of the
finances of the society. The president
however, stated that enough money
had been collected from membership
fees to pay off all the society’s indeb
tedness except Dr.Oliphant’s long ov
erdue account for veterinary services,
and the accumulated salary of the sec
retary and treasurer.
On motion of Mr. Verdel the atten
tion of the police was called to the
cruelty of having chickens in coops
exposed to the hpt sun,' It was also
suggested that the public be reminded
of the great benefit and protection
horse bonnets were to tie horses dur
ing the hot weather.
The election of officers was then
gone into, and the present officers
were elected for the ensuing year, as
follows:
Preesident, Henry B. King.
Secretary and treasurer, Frank E.
Beane.
Executive committee F. B. Pope,
X. I, Willet, C. S. Bihler, Joseph E.
Campbell, T. 1. liickipan, A. Black
shear, W. H. T. Walktr.
Attorney, O. R. Eve.
There being no furtter business the
meeting then adjournjd.
President’s Seport.
In the Bulletin of thj- American .Hu
mane Society for Jaijuary the state
ment was made that the Episcopal
convention of 1872 or 1874 adopted a
canon directing their* clergy “once a
year to devote a serimn to the sin of
cruelty to animals." Correspondence
with the Bishop of the Diocese and the
Rector of St. Paul’s In this city, con
vince me that the Buletln is in error;
but the idea suggested seemed so
good that I have written to a few
clergymen for their yews on the sub
ject. Kindness to animals is so inti
mately associated wijh—in fact is so
identical with meekness and forbear
ance in dealing with kur neighbor that
to preach the one is to encourage the
other, and so it woufl seem that both
might be subjects ofi discourse by re
ligious bodies. The answers I have re
ceived are encourafjng and sympa
pathetie.
To such of these nverend gentlemen
as are disposed to end their help I
would like to direct attention to the
traffic in young dickens at Easter.
These pretty little fledglings, when
handled with inteligence and care,
i ake the ipost Intresting pets, but
turned over to the thoughtless fond
ling of children theyfhave small chance
of escape from suffring and death.
It has been suggisted that the so
ciety yali the attention of those inter
ested' to the deslability of using
brakes on heavy wdrons. A moment’s
thought will convinp the owner of the
team that a good Pake. costing from
$.7 to $lO, would beahout the best in
vestment he could make. With one
the team having stuggled up the In
cline has complete est in going down
the other side; wltbut it, the labor is
continuous, being nerely transferred
trom shoulder to nek or haunches. If
• bis rest only savei one galled shoul
der or added one title year to the use
fulness of that tern, it would surely
be well worth whe. Could we but
induce city and conty authorities to
set an example wth their splendid
teams, the mills, ie ice companies
the lumber and brie rnen, even the de
livery wagons wold soon follow In
their wake.
Check Rei Habit.
As you are allperhaps aware, we
have an ordinance i this city against
the abuse of the ceck rein habit. It
provides that a hole may not be left
standing more tha 30 minutes at a
lime without looseing the rein. The
•'tty Commission ol.Mobiie haH great
ly improved upon ur efforts by pro
viding that no raft animal shall
wear a check rein * drawn as to cause
it physical pain c discomfort, and
that such rein mui be loosened When
ihe animal Is stanchg, hitched or oth
erwise. I wonder the hearts of our
city fathers couldbe touched to the
extent of giving utan ordinance such
as that? I am surthey would if they
regarded the miserof those poor hack
horses, reined up i a vain effort to
make them look “lyllsh,” standing in
the broiling sun o the hot pavement
and "moving on" nly in time to es
cape the penalty.
It is a strangt thing what sway
custom exercises fver the tninds of
men. Many good, ender-hearted peo
ple believe that csek reins are neces
sary parts of harms, help to control a
spirited horse, ke» him from stumb
ling, n ake him lot stylish. Undoubt
edly they do heljin controlling the
animal by the vty fact of Impeding
it* action; but psple who can't con
trol their horses without such help
should, I think, be condemned to ride
in automobiles. To some misguided
folks this alternative may suggest the
Story of the little girl who when told
there were people starving for bread,
asked her mama why they wore not
given cake.
With regard to stumbling, if check
reins prevent that, why don't we put
them on our saddle horses? Surely
they should need them more than draft
animals on account of the extra weight
on their backs. As to "style.” that of
course, is a matter of taste,—or rother
a of fashion. In some countries
check reins are not used at all.. 1 don't
remember seeing one while in Norway
and Sweden, nor did I see a single in
stance of cruelty to animals. Paren
thetically, T may add that, though liq
j uor was cheaper, stronger, and more
, plentiful than I have ever known it
i elsewhere, I did not see a drunken
man. If prohibition would do for us
here one half the good that lack of it
does over there, you might put me in
the ranks of the prohibitionists; hut
1 fear it would take more than prohi
bition to make us simulate the pure
and simple life of those honest, rug
ged, big-hearted, love able Scandina
vians. With them the love of nature
inspires alike a love for man and for
man's humble fellow creatures.
In behalf of the society I wish to
thank the members of the police force
for their diligence in reporting cases
of cruelty, and to thank Hon. <>. It.
Eve, our attorney, for his unselfish
services.
HENRY B. KING,
President.
