CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Editor The Georgian:
I have read with much interest
the editorials of the Hearst pa
pers and fully realize the in
fuence they carry, and it is for
that reason I am bringing this
matter to your attention.
For the past two months l have
been in Atlanta and have been
very much surprised to find such
i'll treatment of horses and mules
here. There is no other city in
the United States that would toll
crate the cruelty that is inflicted
on teams in Atlanta. To fully
realize this ii is only necessary to
stand on Marietta street or any
busy street and listen to the
cracking of the whips which, if
you did not see, would lead you
to believe that the battle of At
ianta was still going on, and you
will find that nearly every mule
Is covered with welts from its
hind quarters to its ears. Some
I have seen with the flesh cut by
the whip. If they were balky or
stubborn there would be some eX-
cuse for this, but these negro
drivers just lay the whip on con-
tinually when the teams are do
inE their very best. 7 seems ~

TN these days there is too
much bewilderment in a va
11ety OF amusenents and
great danger in confusing pleas
ure with excitement and making
it a pursuit. No matter what
the cost may be. in health, time
or money, pleasure is pursued
with sustained effort and en-
ergy worthy OF better aims, and
in spite of difficulties, obstacles
and dangers to life and, 1t may
be said. to manners and morals.
For with this rage for anaASs-
ment has come the temptation to
lower moral standards. This
seems to be the beSettinS sin
Of society. 1t afticts the young
ct generation as well as the old
er. In fact, the danger is espe-
cia,lly to the young people.
Youth is the time for gaining
Ideals, fixing standards. Parents
can give an enduring happiness
to their children by keeping them
unl1ampered by too many pleas
ures, too many opportunities, too
much theater going. too many
rushing trips abroad, too lavish
an expenditure Of money.

be the delight of the drivers to
torture their teams as much a.
possible.
Evidently there is no S. P. {
A. in this city, but 1t seems there
ought to be some way of punish
ing these drivers. Another thing
| have noticed is that there ara
no public drinking troughs as ir
other big cities, ard I have &C
tualiy seen the teams trying to
drink from mud puddles along
the street. If there were some way
of imposing a fine for the unnec
essary beating of the animals ths
city would soon collect enough
money to provide watering
troughs all over the city. It SCENE

other things they are worrying

Unchildish pleasures really
dwarf the mind. the will and the
emotions, There is no reason why
children should see many plays,
even though the plays may be
fairly unobjectionable, or that
they should have the Indulgence
of very extravagant clothes,
even if these can be afforded, or
that they should speed with their
parents through foreign countries
in a motor and fancy they have
seen all there is to be seen in the
world
Pleasure in simple amusements
can be easily cultivated and will
prove blessing through life. An
attraction in character is to keep
the eager, unspoiled sweetness Of
heart that finds enjoyment in
simple things. Innocent pleasures
mean much to everyone. The
right use of pleasure. not the
abuse of it, will make the proper
balance in life. The search for
the startling, the sensational, the
extravagant and novel is the or
der Of the day Amusements have
lost spontaneity. They are
planned too far ahead
Another thing that is ruinous
to recreation is competition.

A PUBLIC DEFENDER.
Editor The Georgian;

Editor The Georgian
In my opinion the very inter
esting suggestions OF Mr. e. \.
Jones, appearing in your issue
Of Saturday, relative to County
Attorneys, might be added to in
the following respects with great
benefit to our procedure. the en-
forcement OF law, and the proper
protection OF our people:
In abolishing the present Of
fee of Solicitor General with its
too large r1eld OF several coun-
ties, let there be in each county
instead not only g. Public Prose
cutor, but g. Public Defender as
well. This would assure every
person accused of crime an equal
opportunity with the State Of
making proper presentation of his
case in the trial court.
Then let It be further provided
that should the defendant engage
additional counsel that the State
engage similar assistance at an
expense equal to that of the de-
PENDANT, the cost OF this add
tional counsel on both sides TO be
paid by the losing party, that
is BY the state If the defendant is
acquitted, and by the defendant
if he is convicted.
Thus again would equality be
assured, in so far as possible, be-
tween the state and the defend
ant in the presentation OF their
cases, and the tremendous advan-
tage enjoyed by the wealthy Grim
insl under our present procedure
would be done away with.
This system would inevitably
abolish in the trial OF important
criminal cases. many OF the de-
lsys encountered at present. II
would work justice in making
the guilty person pay the added
cost o. his own conviction, and
in relieving the innocently ac-
gused OF tho burden Of expenee he

ChristmasIs Coming! Begin to ShopEarly

~ OST realize. beloved sisters,
that the Christmas tide is
almost upon us, and the
joyous season hath arrived
wherein we must grapple once
more again yet with the Christ
mas gift problem?
In former times Christmas
didn't come but once year, but
now with ali the rest of modern
improvements. II comes three o.
four times year. or at any rate,
il seems to; but that is beside the
question. The main point is that
il has rolled around again, and
before you can say scat it will be
Christmas again.
Hence am writing these few
lines to urge you to go and do
your Christmas shopping right
away Don't put it off. Begin on
it to-day, while the shops are com
paratlvely empty, before the
salesgirls are worn and harried
until they are reduced to bundles
Of nerves and temper, and while
you are still in command Of your
own sane senses.
Don't put off buying your
Christmas gifts until the week be
fore Christmas when you, and

Both prosecutor and defender
should, of course, receive equa
compensation, and when the de-
PENDANT desired additional attor-
neys he should be required to
make 4 good bond to the State
to indemnify it against such adj
ditional cost should he be con-
victed. The counsel engaged by
defendants should be required to
make affidavit as to the amount
of their compensa ton.

CAR SEALS ARE
BROKEN. z BALES
COTTON STOLEN
SPECIAL TRAIN CARRYING DEPU-
TIES CHASED TWO SUSPECTED
THIEVES, BUT BOTH DENY ANY
oUILT-coTToN FOUND IN THE
SWAMP.

! Breaking open a sealed car loaded
with cotton and rolling out a couple
Of bales was the original manner
which Is alleged to have been adopted
| by thieves who are thought to have
been on a freight train on the L. &
N. near Selma, and tried the trick
| while the train was in motion. The
Selma Journal tells Of this newest
line of thievery in the following:
A special train, a deputy sheriff and
bunch of railroad detectives were
used last night in chase to catch
cotton thieves who are alleged to have
broken the seal of a Louisville and
Nashville freight car at Beloit and
rolled off two bales Of cotton from a
box car full of the ieecy staple that
was being shipped to Selma
Amos Braxton and A. J. Wyatt were
arrested this morning shortly before
daylight in a swamp near Beloit where
the cotton is alleged to have been
taken from the freight car. They have
been landed in the county Jail and one
of the men had the print of a cotton
tie in the palm of his hand while his
elbow was almost covered with the
tar such as is seen on the cotton ties
about a bale of the staple
J. K McCaskill of the L. & N. as
soon as the matter was reported to
him last night, got into communica-
ton with Deputy Sheriff Gaddy and
in a short time special train was
made up and started for the scene.
The officers stopped long enough to
get the dogs from Road Overseer
Stringer's camp near Martin Station
and the hounds rendered most valua-
BILE service in tracking the men.
The officers have two of the negroes,
both of whom deny any connection
with the attempted theft, and they be-
lieve that there are several others I'M
plicatd in the attempt to burglarize
the freight car.
The cotton was recovered. The two
bales rolled from the box car were
tumbled about one hundred yards
from the car before it was discovered
that the door had been broken and
that the cotton had been thrown out.
The train at once backed to the scene
and the crew seized the cotton and put
it back on the train after getting back
to the tracks. The negroes had scat
tered before that time and had to be
chased practically all night before the
two were rounded up this morning,
one in the big road and the other in a
swamp.

London. Sept 2s.-In a last attempt
to rebuild her shattered fortunes the
Countess of Warwick is writing
movie" plays. Now past fifty, the
countess has failed at lecturing for the
Socialist cause and at writing books.
She believes she has a future in NOV
ing pictures.
She has finished one play, called the
Great Pearl Affair." which she admits
is highly sensational, but she hopes to
produce some of a far higher character,
using Warwick castle and Easton lodge
in Essex as settings. She also intends
to produce educational idea in dra-
matte form.
The brilliant countess has had an in
teresting career. A little more than
twenty years ago she was a member
of the smart set OF the late King Ed
ward, then, of course, the Prince Of
Wales. Her wit and beauty had won
for her a high place in court life, when
almost in a day she entered into a
shadow from which she never emerged.
The crime she was accused of was
tattling, and in royal circles that is
an unforgivable offense.
When King Edward VII was the
Prince of Wales he had a 'set' that
was fast and furious. The Countess
of Warwick belonged to that set and
it is said that she was the only woman
in England Of who jealous.
In 1891 when the Duke of Portland
was about to entertain the prince at
his country place, Welbeck abbey, the
usual list Of guests was. submitted to
the prince. The name of Lady Brooke
was not on it. The Prince Of Wales
asked the reason. The Duke of Port
land answered that Daisy Brooke
would not be received by dis wife.
Then things happened. The beauti-
full palace Of Welbeck abbey was with
out the roya1 visitor, for instead of
going there, the prince instead ac-
cepted an invitation to Tranby Croft,
the seat of a rich ship builder named
Wilson. And the beautiful Daisy
Brooke, who was the Countess of War
