AN APPEAL SENT
TO ALL GEORGIANS
%-
ClliIdren's Home at Macon
Badly in Need of AS
SiStanCe
COMMITTEE ISSUES APPEAL
A Good Work is Being Done at the
Home and Assistance is Needed
While Prof Mumford is Un.
able to Work.
To the People of Georgla :


We earnestly call upon the people
Of this state 10 come to the relief of
the Georgia Industrial Home, founded
1--WE years ago, by Rev w E. Mumford
The need is emergent. Mr. Mum
ford has been incapacitated from ac-
tive work for eight weeks, owing to
a most severe illness and the directors
feel impelied to appeal to the public
The Georgia IndGstrla Home is the
development Of Mr. Mumfords idea
for the waits of the state-whether
orphans or not should be cared for
There are many Of these children who
have parents that cast them adrift
orphanages offers no open door to
them. Beginning YiiAhSut a dollar
relying solely .ss90n his faith in the
good men and women Of the land. Mr.
Mumford has accomplished magni-
dccnt work. He has acquired over 200
acres Of good land five miles from Ma
con Upon this land he has reared
twelve houses and equipped them
The investment is worth $4,000 today
The number Of inmates has steadily
grown until now. as we have said
there are 150 of them sheltered under
this wondrous benifcece. Was a
more glorious work ever conceived
and carried so far toward fruition by
the sublime purpose and indefatigable
efforts Of single Individual? Surely
1t cannot be permitted to fail now
The children are not only housed
in comfort. fed amply and clothed well
but they IRE given instruction in those
branches which shall best fit them
boys and girls-to go out into the
world and make their own living. They
are trained in carpentry, blacksmith
ing. farming, sewing, cooking, print
ing nd other things of like character
Iaey do most OF the work necessary
% he done about the place. The fame
OF the Georgia Industrial Home band
is cOex1ensiYe WITH the state. They
print their own little paper With
time to play, as well as to study and
work, and with the closest attention
paid to hygenic conditions, they con.
stitute a happy group Of little ones
rescued from the misery of hopeless
childhood.
There is a variety of crops raised
on the farm in order that the Home
may be as self sustaining as possible
and sometimes there is something to
sell There are cattle, horses, hogs
and chickens, but the ends do not
meet as yet.
In view Of this condition, we ear
nestly urge the people of Georgia to
come forward with contributions so
liberal that the Home may be put
above want ard made for all time.
Every county in the state is entitled
to send its waits to the Home and
every county should, therefore. con
tribute to it's maintenance.
Doaations may be sent to President

to Answer for Cruelty
to Animals
fHE HORSE WAS ARRESTED
Owner Could Not Be Found But the
Poor Animal Was Taken in Charge
BY officer and Placed in the
Pound.

A case of cruelty to animals was

II being impossible to at first ascer-
tain who was the owner OF the horse
Officer Hardy Turner arrested the ami
NAL. which was placed in the city

to make the trip from the northern
section of the city to the barracks.
For several days past a negro wo-
man has been coming into the city
from the country with this horse The
woman would always arrive early in
the morning and depart late in the
afternoon. The horse was left in the
northern suberbs Of the city by the
woman all day without any food. Peo.
pie residing in the neighborhood not.
iced how the animal was treated and
how queerly the woman acted, always
taking pains to leave the horse in a
somewhat hidden place. She contin-
ned to come into the city and leave
the horse at the same place, so people
seeing the daily action OF the woman
in failing to feed the horse while in
the city, came to the conclusion that
the horse was stolen from someone
and that the woman would not drive
into the city for fear she would be
caught up with.

Turner an yesterday Ne went out and
found ~ horse but could not learn
the id|ity 81 the woman The horse
was fought to the pound and last
night is vase discovered that it was
the property of j NJ Bloodworth who
had rented the animal to Mary Gam
BILE. the negro woman
The animal is not at all fit for use
and cases were made out charging
the woman with cruelty to animals
and she was summoned to appear at
the police court tomorrow morning.
1t is also understood that there are
two or three mules on the place where
the woman lives in the country in the
same condition and this will also be
investigated by the officers.
The horse taken in charge yesterday
was in a very bad condition. The
woman has been leaving !. it in the
woods day after day without any food
and the horse is utterly unfit to be
driven.

Irrigation company's New Dredge
Curiosity in Mechanics.

Steam was raised for the first time
this afternoon in the new dredge
received a few days ago by the Bill
ings Land and. Irrigation company.
The machine was switched onto the
Burlington tracks and delivered at the
northwest end of the city, where it
was unloaded and put together.
An improvement i'm connection with
the big shovel is that it is self-pro-
polling, being supplied with chain
gearing, after the manner of the or
binary traction engine. Being mount
ed on a truck with Hanged wheels,
like those of a railroad car, it can
move only on rails, necessitating the
construction of a temporary track
when a change of location is desired.
Here again the builder has shown his
ingenuity.
The huge crane used in working the
shovel rests on a turn-table and can
be made to describe a circle. Two
sections of track have been built, Sc
curely spiked, so that they may be
moved about en- masse. Each section
is 80 feet in length. AS fast as the
end of one is reached the crane is
employed as a derrick and raises it
and places it in position in front OF
the truck. This process is repeated
until the entire distance to be made
is covered. If the nature of the
road travelled requires it, the sections
may be fastened together by fish
plates, thus preventing any likelihood
of their slipping and derailing the
truck.
OF course, this method of locomo-
ton is necessarily slow, as not above
a mile and a half a day may be
made, but it is about the only one
considered feasible. 1t is expected
that the dredge will be in operation
soon and will undoubtedly attract
many spectators because of it's novelty
in these parts.
