AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.
The First Public Appeal for jus.
tice and Mercy to Animals.

In the early part of the century Just
past, in the year 1911, in the English
House of Lords, scene was enacted
that, so far as known, was without a
parallel in any Legislative assembly.
For in that small chamber, in the very
home of conventionality, surrounded
by men whose names were SYNONYMS
for exclusivcness and conservatism,
Lord Elskine made the first public ap-
peal for justice and mercy for the
lower animals. The "noble lord, :" for
such he was, stood up in his place and
presented the case of these creatures
on whom the passions of the callous or
cruel had been vented without restaint
from the beginning of time, and the
other noble lords broke forth in ders-
ion at the absurdity. 1t is said that
loud jeers, vulgar CALCULATIONS, inle-
corous demeanor, and even whistling
and cock.crowing were practically the
only reply given to the grand speech
of this high-souled man."
There was no one who took part in
the astonishing scene in the House of
Lords who could have imagined that
he was assisting at an era in the his
tory of civilization, and that from it
would date the inception of one of the
most important and far.rcaching of all
movements, the movement known as
Humane," which has for its object
the elimination of cruelty from the
world and the inculcation of kindness
to all living creatures. Yet here have
always been humane hearts, and imag-
nations sufficiently alive to comprehend
suffering even in the persons Of beings
below the hmuan level.
About hundred and forty years
before this time Sir Samuel Pcpys put
into his diary one of his little sketchee

Pickett lost in captured l 400, nearly
three times as many as lIeth, whose
men went &s far in the charge and
stayed as long as Picketps did.
Pickett's division was composed of

averaged little more than Is men to
the regiment. This certainly was not
much of a slaughter or sacrifice.
Georgia lost in killed at Gettysburg
42l, while Virginia lost 3SS. This does
not include the cavalry and artillery.
North Carolina lost in killed GS6 or
1913 more than Virginia.
This destruction wrought by the ar
tillcry at Gettysburg has been described
as appalling, but the loss in killed of
the Confederate artillery was only rs.
While the loss was so small the moral
effects were somewhat like at the cam
nonadc at Valmy, where the invading
army under the Duke Of Brunswick
was defeated by the French Republi-
cans in 1892.
Most of these figures arc taken from
" Official Records Of the War of the
Rebellion," Series | volume 27, part
II, page 33S, etc. They are published

the present generation may know who
bore the brunt of the battle at Gettys-
burg.

present for duty, but at Appomattox
only 12O officers and 9l1 men were

PICKETT DID NOT DO 1T ALL.
Statement of Interest About the
Fighting at Gettysburg.

Editors Atlanta journal:
! have been much interested in the
stories Of the war between the States
written by men who served in the
ranks and lately appearing in your
columns. l served in the infantry
from First Manassas to AppomattoX.
AT First Manassas I was private in
the Seventh South Carolina Volunteers
and especially detailed us orderly for
General M. l.. Bonham, who held
Mitchell's Ford or the center of our
line. In 1862 l was transferred from
Kershaw's brigade and the Seventh
South Carolina Volunteers to the First
South Carolina Rifles of Grcgg's' (af-
terwards McGowan's) brigade, which
was und3r Jackson until his death
and then under A. p. Hill until the
surrender. This statement will intro
duce me to the Georgia survivors of
the Army of Northern Virginia.
One of your correspondents from
Wrights brigade, speaking of Pickett's 6
charge at Gettysburg, says "It GER
tainly was most hazardous affair.
They suffered heavily, and yet l have
never been convinced the battle of the
second day previous should stand in
history as the bloodicst fought battle
of the two"
Another correspondent, q survivor
of Semmes' brigade, says: "The sub.
scqucnt sacrifice of Pickctt's gallant
division was simply murder"
L believe III giving honor to whom
honor is due. Pickett's loss has been
greatly exaggerated, and for nearly Sc
years the fancy story of this " sacri
flee " has been written up in glowing
words until many persons believe thai
Pickett did all the fighting at Gcttys
burg, and that Georgia, North Car
o]ina and the other States were "no
IN it,"
Let us SEQ what the figures prove al
to lfcketts command at Gettysbur,
before the battle and after it.
From July ], 1862, to June 30, 1868
13 battles were fought by parts or th
whole OF the Army of Northern Vir
glnia. In these, PiCkctt's division
consisting of Garnctt's, Armistead'

Killed the dog outright presently
The bystandcr was not without feeling
but he could do nothing till, when the
boy had tired of his sport, the servants
might finish it quickly.
In spite of the brave words of Lore
Erskinc the law took no cognizance OF
the suffering of ANIMALS until 1922
when a statute was enacted in England
"To prevent the cruel AMI improper
treatment of cattlc.' Af.erward other
acts were obtained improving upon
this, and in 1924 the first " Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
was organized in London. This grew
in grace until even Rank and Fashion,
those twin gooddesses that can make
or mar anything, smiled upon it, the
Royal family gave it patronage and by
command of the Queen it took the
name Of the Royal Society,""
Then, in the year 1862, the United
States sent to ST. Petersburg, as secre-
tary of legation, man by the name Of
Henry Bergh, who in Russia received
an education that was awakened to q
duty not contemplated in his official
Instructions for there he saw and was
enabled to interfere IN cases Of great
cruelty because of his diplomatic posi-
ton, without which he would have
been exposed to personal violence.
On his way home, three years later,
he made the acquaintance of the Earl
of Narrowly, President of the Royal
Society, who gave him valuable inIor.
nation concerning the work of the
society, prlmed with which he landed
in his own country and Immediately
set about creating interest in similar
movement in New York. His first
lecture aroused much sympathy the
press took it up the lecture was pub
lished in all the great cities in the coun-
try and the first American Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
was incorporated in New York, April
10, 1866. Since that time many otl:er
such societies have been organized in
different parts Of the country.
An important step has been the Or
ganizing in the United States Of nearly
all such societies into one great body
known as the American Humane
Association" which meets every year
in one of our cities, each local society
being represented thereat by delegates,
and Of which the President is now
Hon. James Nj. Brown, of Toledo,
Ohio. TO these meetings delegates
bring their experiences and discuss the
best methods of action, one of the OBJ
jects beng the amelioration of condi-
tons III the transportation of cattle.
Another is the missionary work by
which it seeks to extend the number
of these organizations, with the hope
that there may be eventually no city
or village without n humane society.
But what does all this mean ? Is
the humane society merely an agency
to prevent the abuse Of animals or
little children? Not 50. Amiablc and
necessary las is the work from this
point of vlel., this is only one Of its
objects. This humane movement is
one Of the most important of all civil
iizing agencies, and its advocates hold
that in its evolution it cannot cease
from the cal tn until in the human race
the predatory animal is extinct and his
place is taken by person of right rea-
son and all-embracing bencfciencc.

VESTS TRIBUTE TO THE DOG
The One Unse1tish Friend That
Man Can Have In this World.

Years ago Senator Vest was attend
ing court in Missouri town and be-
came interested in dog case. Volu-
minous evidence was introduced to
show that the defendant had shot the
dog in malice, while other evidence
went to show that the dog had attacked
defendant. Vest took no part in the
trial and was not disposed to speak
The attorneys, however, urged HIM to
make a speech, else their client would
not. think he had earned his fee. Beng
thus urged he arose, scanned the face
of each juryman for moment, and
said

when he needs it most. a mans

have in this selfish world, the one that
never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treachcrous, is
his dog. a mans dog stands by him

Success IN farming ls often caused
by attention to details; failure is just
as frequently due to neglect of details.
Not every farmer appreciates the sign,-
licance Of rotation of crops by which

yet it appears that there are consider
able possibilities in practice to this
effect. Thus it is held that there can

Looking at the claims of the British
to be Christian and civilized people,
the doings of their army in South

and Armenia. 1t is indeed pitiful

left the burghers of the republics no

freedom, as did the Americans of the
