WILD ANIMAL ACTORS
Marvellous Brute Artists With Observation-Disclosures Shows

sidered by the best masters OF ZoOl-
ogy as wholly untamable, perform
ing together in a colossal steel-girt
arena, which absolutely insures the
safety O. the public, their bearing to-
ward their trainer and one another
being as amiable and considerate as
characteriZes the intercourse of an
assemblage of human beings at a
social function.
Imperceptibly directed by single
trainer and of seemingly happy &C
cord and eager unity, these formerly
dreaded kings and queens of the
seething jungle, the howling wilder
ness and the remote, inaccessible
frozen wilds of the Poles build their
sky-seraping pyramids, balance with
a skill rivaling that of the human
acrobat upon barrels, play rollick-
ing games of se-saw; with courteous
consideration for the luxurious COM
fort of their master form soft living
touches of themselves and invite his
by opening their terrible,
blood-red mouths for the temporary
insertion of his trusting head.
1t would require pages to tell in
advance all the startling novelties
introduced in the Hagenbeck-W Wallace
Shows, which, besides the many
trained wild animal features, is q.
circus vastly superior to any organi-
cation now travelling,

WHAT AMENDMENTS MEAN.
Three Are to BE Voted on in the
Election Today.

E1GCtlOn IOudfs
We assume that the people have
made up their minds about the con-
stitutional amendments that are to
be voted on at the state election
to be held today. If they haven't
amendments are important and of
themselves should be sufficient to
bring out a large vote.N
One of them gives counties the
same right that towns have of taxing
themselves for educational purposes.
Another authorizes the people of
the counties of Fulton, Chatham and
Richmond to pay to their respective
judges of the superior court an
amount sufficient to make their sal
aries $4,000 a year
There is also an amendment that
relates only to Augusta. 1t author
ICES the people of that city to issue
bonds with which to provide protec-
ton for the city against floods. The
people of the state outside of Au-
gusta are not interested in this
amendment. except to the extent Of
being willing to lend her a helping
hand. 1t will cost them nothing,
but the bonds cannot be issued with
out constitutional authority.
We don't believe anybody has any
objection to the foregoing amend
ments, at least the vast majority of
the people haven't.

ELECTION TODAY TO Be TAME
NO INDEPENDENTS OPPOSE NOM
INEES FOR STATE OFFICES.
Three Congressional Fights, But
They Will Not Be Settled Until
November. May Be Exciting.

November. May BE Exciting.
The state election, which OCCURS
today, will be very quiet and in
significant affair.
All the efforts to get out indie
pendent and opposition candidates
proved fat failures; there is to be
nothing whatever doing in the way
of a fight.
The primary nominees for state
house offices will all go through with
a rush. But that is no reason why
you should not turn out and vote.
1t is your duty to do so, especially
if you voted in the primary.
There are several counties in
north Georgia, counties with a heavy
republican vote, in which no nomi-
nations were made for the legisla-
ture; or at least in which the nom
inee is not at all certain of sue
cess in the election, and in these
counties there will be some fighting
both over the legislative places and
some of the county offices.
Very few take any stock in the
suggestion of Thomas E. Watson
that the voters of Georgia cast their
votes for Gov, Brown and against the
party nominee, former Gov. Hoke
Smith, least of all Gov. Brown him
self. AS the result Of Watson's agi-
tation there may be a few votes cast
against Mr. Smith, but the number
will hardly be sufficient to count.
The congressional elections do not
come until month later, and in sew
e1al of these there will be opposi-
5iCn. There are republican candi-
dates opposed to the democratic nom
inees in the Seventh and Ninth dis
tricts, the districts in which there
are the largest number of republican
votes, and both of which gave Presi-
dent Taft a majority. But the fight
in which the most interest will be
manifested is that in the Eighth, in
which each of the candidates in the
primary, Congressman w. NJ. How
ard and s. J. Tribble Of Athens,
44"ims to be the regular nominee.
The same fight they went through
with in the primary will be fought
out between them a gain in the reg
ular November election.

DEATH OF JOHN t. ORR.
An Aged and Highly Esteemed Citi-

An Aged and Highly Esteemed Citi-
zen Dies After Long Illness.
John Thomas Orr, named for both
of his grandfathers, was born at the
Moye Tucker place in Randolph
county, Georgia, January, 1910, and
departed this life in Shellman, Ca,
at s o'clock p. m. September 20,
1910. He neither married nor united
with any church, but was strictly
honest and moral. The truth is, he
was the worst enemy to himself, as
he would make a sacrifice in order
to accommodate others No one
ever esteemed a christian man or
lady more highly than John T. Orr,
or detested hypocrite more intense
ly. He had his peculiarities as other
men, but to friend he was as true
as steel. The good deeds of a man
are generally read in his obituary.
But the time to speak we'll of a per-
son is when he is living, for justice
is mOckery to the dead. | have said
so many good things to and about the
good boy that it is so easy for me to
repeat them now.
During his long protracted illness
we talked much of the past, pres
ent and future. | being only two
years his senior we were boys to-
gether, and we talked of the. good
old ante-bellum times, then, too, of
the post bellum times, for together
we saw life's sunshine and shadow.
On Saturday the oath he told me:
THE end is at hand. l see my way
clear, and am ready to 60" AS he
spoke, on gazing toward heaven, he
seemed for the time to lose sight
of this world, and to be behOlding
the celestial city, and doubtless as
this mortal was putting on immOr-
tality he could have said; Il am
going to die no more"
Many sOrrowing friends and rel
atives followed his remains to their
last resting place in dear old Reho-
both cemetery, where the last sad
rites were performed by brother w.
L. Culberson in one of the pointed
but most feeling sermons l ever
heard. Within the last eight months
the writer has lost two nephews, an
only sister and a most lovable COM
panion, whom l hope to meet when
time with me shall have ended.
Many dear to my heart over
there are watching and waiting for
me-" T. A. McWILLIAMS.

BLUE JAYS RAID PECAN GROVES.
Persons Out After Bird With Gun.
Much DAMAGE Done tn TrooS

Persons Out After Bird With Gun.
Much Damage Done to Trees.
Vanquish the blue jay is the slo-
gan sounded in Eufaula lately by
owners of pecan groves who are up
in arms against the jaybird because
he takes special delight in break
fasting upon the half ripe pecan nuts.
Almost every morning just at day
break the reports of guns and rifles
are heard in many sections of the
city, and as the result of this sharp
shooting many a blue jay has eaten
his last pecan. Although many of
the jaybirds have been killed the
pecan tree owners are still on the
war path, and are keeping a sharp
lookout every morning.
The exact amount of damage done
to the green pecans cannot be ascer-
tanned, but it is said that on MANY
trees the kernels of all~the nuts have
been eaten.-Eufaula Times.

Hca1ly formed than those growing in
the dells. Most remarkable are the
dark green tufted leaves and abundant
cones of these Torrey pines; the for
mer grow in fascicles of five in close
sheaths, and are the largest pine
leaves known to the world, being from
nine to thirteen inches long; while the
cones are five to six inches long and
ten to fourteen inches in circum-
ference, oval, with thick scales termi-
mating in stout recurring beaks. The
nuts are f1attened and have a black
wing, the shells being hard and thick
and the seeds edible. The pollen-bear-
ing flowers are terete, about three
inches long and half an inch in diam
eter.
The habitat of the Torrey pine COW
ers some four hundred acres, owned
for the most part by the city of San
Diego, though recently the finest
groves have been purchased by Miss
Scripps of La Jolla, who, realizing the
immense scientific value and impor-
lance of these trees, has determined
to do everything possible to preserve
them from mutilation and possible ex-
termination.
No words can describe the wonder
full beauty of the surroundings OF
these Torrey pine woods. The scenery
in California always exercises tascl-
nation by reason of it's individuality,
for it is land in which man and the
rPlpn1jPCG
war: where the desert has proved i'm
pregnable the cacti forbid encroach-
ment and f1aunt their flaming red and
yellow flowers in the face OF defeated
toll: but where man has conquered,
welding the silver scepter OF 1rrlga-
ton and a1nexing the territory thus
torn from the prickly fingers of the
opuntia. there grows a garden whose
luxuriance overpowers and whose pro-
ductiveness is amazing.
Encircling the valley stood queer
honeycombed cliffs, whose strata OF
burnt sienna and chalk white stone
formed bands of startling contrast,
and beyond them rose the grim gray
mountains of San Bernardino. On the
other side of the point OF pines the
cliffs fell away in sheer decllvlty to
the sea, across whose waves, now
stilled by the sunset peace, the level
rays of light were painting paths OF
purple, rose and amethyst. Over the
rim of this ocean of color the sun like
a golden galleon sailed down into the
west. the light turned pale, beryl and
primrose usurped the place of fire
and flame, then gray vapors dr1fted
softly up to the zenith and Venus
shone out between the points OF an
ashen aurora, cool breezes sprang to
life, dusk blotted out the underorush
and the southern day was over

You may be sure after these notes
have been sent out that there will be
a ripple of excitement among the

over the table hung a wedding bell.
The table had been made from round
to long for this occasion and down

To see murder and rapine in pure
perfection one has only to visit some
of the more solitary shores in the
autumn when the tide is coming in
and watch the fish hawks, those
wolves and pillagers of the sea, and
see for ones self how easily they hunt
at heights and deliberately pick their
prey. Not by any means do they nap
the first too large or too little hsh,
but wait and pick out the very fellow
the right size for flying away with.
Nearly every time they fall all In
bunch from a height of hundred or
more feet with a splash and are on
with the poor wriggling tsh-as easy
as falling off log.
