FEEDING zoo ANIMALS.

There is part of the Zoo that the
| public is not allowed to visit. 1t
may surprise many to know that
there exists in an out-of-the-way cor
| ner OF the gardens an inclosed space
| where horses are examined, and often
kept for some little previous to being
slaughtered. Disease cannot be de-
tected so easily in the carcass as in
the live animal, and were carcasses
bought the possibility of the car
nivora becoming infected would not
be nearly SO remote as 1t is now.
The only case in which the Zoo re-
ceives a carcass is where a horse,
having met with an accident in the
street. has to be slaughtered at once.
II 1t has a healthy record the Zoo
authorities do not refuse it.
Not only in this way is much care
exercised in the choice Of horsehesh,
but when a carcass is cut up 1t is
divided in such a way to insure that
in each piece given to the animals
there is bone. Otherwise the lions.
tigers and other big carnivora would
swallow the piece whole. which would
be bad even for their iron diges-
lions. The presence of the bone COM
pels them to take bites at the flesh.
which they pick from the bone with
their claws and teeth, licking the
bone afterward with their sand
papery tongues until the surface |
shines.
For the smaller carnivora, such as |
polecats and weasels, and for the |
raptorial birds. horseflesh is some
what too coarse and pungent, SO they
are fed for the most part on the
heads and necks of chickens. These
parts are selected also because of

HOUSE IN THE GARDEN.

HOUSE IN THE GARDEN.
Ethel had a July birthday. She
had celebrated nine birthdays in her
short life, to the accompaniment OF
birthday cakes and candles, and flow
ers, and candies. and dolls, and doll
carriages. Indeed, SO many good
things had come to her that even
mamma and papa began to rack their
brains to find some sort of surprise
for the tenth anniversary of their
only little girl.
Aunt May put the idea into Mrs.
Gordon's head.

Gordon. LAS long as Ethel is pleased
I'm not counting the cost"
So Aunt May went to work, as she
always did, with her whole heart and
soul. But no one knew what she
had done in the two months time
before the birthday.
Ethel opened her eyes on a clear.

No little girl ever had a present more

there for many years, and Ethel's own

SHAME ON SUCH AN ATTEMPT

Among the campaign documents be-
| ing circulated in the interests of the
candidacy of Gov Smith is one adj
dressed to the white voters of Brooks
County" in which they are urged
! to read the account of the banquet of
the Cosmopolitan club in New York,
! where white girls and women dined
side by side with negro men and wo-
men,
While the dissemination of this cir
cular is nauseating in itself were
there nothing further, yet when the
same circular attempts to connect the
banquet referred to and the candidacy
of Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown for Governor
of Georgia, its circulators deserve the
burning contempt of fairminded men
everywhere.
In commenting on this circular the
Macon Telegraph says
This political circular, strange to
say, was gotten out in the hope of
arousing race prejudice in Georgia for
use in a Democratic primary in this
State!
Think of social equality being an
issue among Georgia Democrats! The
mere suggestion is an insult to GeOr-
CLANS!
But here is the implied charge by
insinuation:
At the bottom of that circular in
big black type are these words:
Now, Mr.. Voter, after reading the
above press dispatch will you vote
for Joe Brown who is being endorsed
by negro conventions all over the
State?"
What is the charge by insinuation?
That Joe Brown is in favor of social
equality, and was present in spirit if
not in person at that disgusting ne
gro-loving feast of certain whites
and blacks in New York.
Of course no sane persons in
Georgia will be affected by this circu-
| lar except to arouse their disgust at
| the circulators of it in a white pri-
mary
Joe Brown needs no defense against
| this infamy. 1t is loaded with it's own
antidote There is but one possible
explanation for it, and that is, that
| those who put out this circular have
been impressed with RUDE Arnold S
declaration that the Brown supporters
are burned FOOLS and they are pro-
ceeding upon the theory that there
are lots of them in Brooks County, and
something must be done to scarce
them with the cry of Niger $50
cial equality Democratic pri-
mary.
God of our fathers to what are we
coming! Are the people of Georgia
going to fall to a level of personal
abuse and scandalous aspersions
which characterize semi-sayages?
The statement in the circular that
negro conventions all over Geor-
gia" are endorsing Joe Brown is a
pure fabrication. There is not one
word of truth in it, If single negro
meeting had done so the argus-eyed
newspapers would have found it out.
If a single one should do so, it would
be because in their ignorance they
| had been misled by such circulars as
the one before us.

restless and iconolastic future before
us, we must both lead and retain by
religious forces. The social philoso-
pher and the sociologist can detect
injustices and wrongs, but he can new
er create the desire to remedy the
wrongs which are the issue of good
That part of the address bearing
most directly upon the members of
the Methodist Church and which is
expected to create wide discussion,
relates to worldly amusements. The
address recommends that the follow
ing be stricken out of the forbidden
amuSementS:
Dancing, playing at games of
chance, attending theatres, horse
races, circuses, dancing mEarties or
patronizing dancing sch6g.s or taking
such other"
The address adds, however:
Grave injustice will be done if
this recommendation is interpreted as
an abandonment of our early opposi-
ton to worldly amusements. Indeed
it is a return to the principles and
to the exact words furnished by John
Wesley"

A GREAT CHURCH FOR REFORMS

The great Northern Methodist
Church, with over three million
communicates, and representing a
total population of probably tie mil
lions, or one ninth of the entire coun-
try, has taken a more pronounced
stand than heretofore on the question
of divorce At the General Confer
ence at Baltimore the address from
the Bishops left no doubt as to their
position in respect to the greatest
evil now threatening the family life
of the land Said they:
1.-The consecutive polygamy permit
ted by the divorce laws of some OF
our States is a disgrace to our coun-
try 1t continues to undermine fam
lily life and to break up into helpless
and warning fractions that which
God means shall be a unit. We
greatly rejoice that the conscience OF
the nation is being quickened on this
subject, and that the demand for uni
form divorce laws increases.
National legislation as constitu-
tional amendment is suggested as a
remedy.
The address also dealt with labor
unionism, saying in part on that sub
ject:
For those who labor with theil
hands, and whose reward is a wage
the church has great sympathy Their
share of the profits of business is of
ten such that, if they have families
they can have no hope of saving q
competence for old age. The freight
trainmen seem to have nothing sc
surely before them as MANNED hands
missing legs, and dollar day al
grade crossings, and in old age not
that.
THE church is not a museum OF
perfected specimens, all ticketed and
labelled and shut up in stained glass
case for the world to admire. 1t is
a workshop to which all who are
willing to work out their own saliva
ton with fear and trembling must
be admitted The church cannot re-
fuse it's help and countenance to any
one who processes to accept its prln-
ciples and to seek a better life, be
he either capitalist or Iaborer. By

erly, exciting, oppressive has the
church business with him. She can
not throw him off and away until the
last day of his dessicated and shrunk'
en- life brings him before God. She
must hold before him the image Of
the unselfish Christ in the hope thai
in its light he will see how far he is
from the kingdom of God Let it be
remembered, however, that nowhere
in the world does wealth manifest its
obligation to contribute to the public
welfare as in the United States"
A somewhat startling prophecy is
made in the address in the course Of
discussion of civic righteousness. II
declares:

next generation there are to be grea
social changes. The influence o.

ures is to grow less, whether it be il

If any Democrats have hopes of the

New York and other Northern states
in the event of the Republican NOM
ination of Secretary Taft they are in
dulging in political illusions at the

some rare exceptions of independent

for this generation at least, no matter
whether Taft or anybody else may be

Judge Charlton, of Chatham, says
there has been a considerable falling
off in business on the criminal side of
his court. Prohibition or something
has diminished the number of cases.
This seems to be the evidence every
where. The absence of the old-time
saloon is probably the cause. We
are not prohibitionists, but we do
believe that the old bar room should
never be allowed to come back. And
in all probability it will soon cease
to exist in every state in the union
The people seem to have decreed its
death. Around it centered most Of
the evils of the use of strong drink
With it out of the way men would
doubtless use liquors in moderation
and with proper regard for them
selves and society in general. The
saloon keepers brought the abolition
of their business upon themselves and
are getting but scant sympathy even
in communities where the sentiment
is strongly in favor of such unneces-
sarily drastic laws as the present pro-
hibitory statute.

An examination of gas meters in

of them registered correctly. How
the gas company ever allowed such
a large percentage to register the
consumption of gas correctly is a
mystery. The careless employees who

this way might as we'll resign at
