The Horse Does the Hard Work For

Attention

Attention
The following article is called
The Horses Prayer and is sent
out by the state humane Office.
Read it and pass it on:
To thee, my Master, / offer my
prayer: Feed me, water and care
for me, and, when the days work
is done, provide me with shelter,
a clean dry bed and a stall wide
enough for me to lie down in COM
fort.
Always be kind to me. Talkto
me. Your voice often means as
much to me as the reins. Pet me
sometimes, that 1 may serve you
the more gladly and learn to love
you. Do not jerk, the reins, and
do not whip me when going up
hill. Never strike, beat or kick
me- when I do not understand
what you want, but give me a
chance to understand you. Watch
me, and if I fail to do your bid
ding, see if something is not wrong
with my harness or feet.
Do not check me SO that can
not have the free use of my head.
If you insist that l wear blinders,
so that I cannot see behind me as
it was intended I should. I pray
you be careful that the blinders
stand we'll out from my eyes.
Do not overload me-. or hitch me
where water will drip on me.
Keep me we'll shod. Examine my
teeth when I do not eat, I may
have an liberated tooth, and that
you know. is very painful. Do
not tie my head ir an unnatural
position, or take away my best
defense against flies and mos
quitoes by cutting off my tail.
cannot tell you when I am
thirsty, 90 give me clean cool water
often. Save me, by all means in
your power, from that fatal disease
the glanders. cannot tell you
in words when l am sick, so watch
me, that by signs you may know
my condition. Give me all pos
sible shelter from the hot sun, and
put a blanket on me, not when I
am working but when I am stand
ing in the cold. Never put a frosty
bit in my mouth; first warm it by
holding it moment in your hands.
l try to carry you and your
burdens without murmur, and
wait patiently for you long hours
of the day or night Without the
power to choose my shoes or path,
I sometimes fall on the bare pave
ments which / have often prayed
might not be Of wood but Of such
a nature as to give safe and sure
footing Remember that I must
be ready at any moment to lose
my life in your service,
And finally, @ my master, when
my useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze, or
sell me to some cruel owner, to be
slowly tortured and starved to
death; but do Thou, My Master
take my life in the kindest way,
and your God will reward you
here and hereafter. You will not
consider me irreyerent If I ash
{ this in the name Of Him who VII
I born in a stable. Amen.

FOR A NEW ROAD
TO JACKSONVILLE
CAMDEN COUNTY PEOPLE TO
BUILD CUTOFF THROUGH
KINGSLAND.

w. II. King. of Kingsland, one of
Camden county's best known and
leading citizens, was in Brunswick
yesterday, and while here he discuss
ed with a number OF citizens a new
automobile route to Jacksonville
which the people of Camden are try
ing to get and which will give the
autoists of this city a shorter and
much better road to the Florida me-
tropolis.
The road at present. as is well
known, goes from Owens Ferry to
Kings Ferry and then via Callahan,
on to Jacksonville The people of
Fernandina are now building a shell
road from their city to Eulee, to con
meet with a road being built out from
Jacksonville. They have interested
the people at Kingsland to build a
road to connect with the shell road.
which leads into Jacksonville.
Mr.. King says that by going from
Owens Ferry to Kingsland and then
from Kingsland to a new crossing
place on the st. Marys river, the
distance would be greatly reduced
and at the same time the autoists
could strike the shell road between
Jacksonville and Fernandina. In or
der, however, to secure this route, it
will be necessary to build a road from
kingsland to the St Marys river,
distance of 31a miles, and from the
river to the Florida road. distance
of three miles, but by building this
six and half miles of new road the
distance between Brunswick and
Jacksonville is reduced by at least
fifteen miles and also provides
much better road
Mr.. King states that the Florida au-
thorities have agreed to build the
road needed in Florida, and he has
appeared before the board of commits
sioners of Camden with proposition
to build the road on the Georgia side
OF the river. The commissioners heart
lily favor it, and it is understood that
the work may soon be started.

PRES. FINLEY OF SOUTHERN RY.
DISCUSSES CURRENCY
LEGISLATION.
Says More Currency is Needed During
croP-MoVing Period Than at ANY
Other Time of Year-6elieves Money
Should Remain Where 1t is Spent.

w dSHIlSlOn, NOV. S.-Speaking to-
day Of the present discussion of cur
rency legislation, President Finley of
the Southern Railway company, said:
The banks of the Southeastern
states compare very favorably as to
soundness and ability of management
with those of any other part of the
country. This was demonstrated in
the panic Of 1907 and the subsequent
business depression.
In the South, as in the West a
much larger supply of currency is
needed during the crop-moying period
than at any other time in the year.
The effect of the present banking sys-
TEN is that, during this irop-moving
season and as a result of this larger
demand for cash, interest rates tend
to advance and credit is curtailed not
withstanding the fact that the farmers
of the South are bringing to market
hundreds Of millions of dollars worth
of cotton and other products, on the
basis of which credit should expand
rather than contract.
Speaking generally, therefore, any
plan of currency legislation should
not only be such as will stand the
sItn Of conditions tending to create
panics, but should also be so framed
as TO meet peculiar sectional require
ments. This does not mean that leg
islation should be sectional, for any
plan that will enable the banks of
the South, or Of any other locality, to
meet their seasonal demands for cash
and to expand their credit within safe
limits will be beneficial to the entire
country.
1t is, believe, to the interest of
the entire country, as well as of the
South, that the banking resources of
each locality should be made avail
able for commercial transactions in
that locality, as far as this can be
done consistently with safety ana
sound banking.
In its own operations the Southern
hallway company aims to aid in the
carrying out Of this policy. So far
as it can consistently do so, it allows
the money it receives in payment for
freight and passenger transportation
to remain in the localities in which it
is collected, in the shape OF deposits
in local banks, to be drawn upon
from time to time as occasion may re-
quire in payment Of wages and other
obligations"

BEATTlE MAY NOT GO
TO ELECTRIC CHAIR

Richmond, Va, Nov. 8.-Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., convicted of wife muir
der, may not die in the electric chair
on November "a, as sentenced by the
court.
The petition Of appeal filed by his
lawyers contained seventeen bills Of
exceptions. OF these the most impor-
tant are those relating to the refusal
of Judge Walter A Watson to strike
from the records that part Of the
closing argument of Lawyer Wenden-
berg, in which the speaker, addressing
the jury, said that should the jury find
Beattie not guilty of the murder of
his wife, they should then visit ene
graves of Peter Phillips, Thomas Clu-
verius and Samuel McCue, disinter the
bodies of the three murderers and
apologize to them. The defense claims
that this was unwarrantsd appeal to
passion and to prejudice.
Another related to that part of the
testimony of Mrs. Owen, mother of the
murdered Louise Owen Beattie, in
which Mrs. Owens was permitted to
testify to. a conversation had between
herself and her daughter about the
life Of Henry Beattie was leading.
Four other bills of exceptions relate
to the qualifications of jurors and the
rest to technical points.
Lawyer Hill Carter today was clos
eted with Judge Keith, president of
the supreme court of appeals at the
supreme court offices.
