The Birds In Winter
Continued from page p

made little darts at the intrusive
sparrows if they came too near. In
q short time they changed places,
continuing this alternate picket
duty for about a quarter of an
hour. Satisfied at last, they made
one final united attack on the spar
rows driving them to the next tree
and flew away with every appear
ancc Of satisfaction. The division
of labor was so methodical as if by
mutual understanding, and the
last charge so in the nature of
Joke that | looked for laugh
from them as they departed.
The Northern shrike is a bird
which accords well with dull days
and cloudy skies. By freak of
chance | have never seen one on
bright sunshiny day nor have |
ever seen one in company with an
other Of his own kind. He is fierce
and silent, rarely heralding his
presence with his harsh note, but
slipping silently and rapidly about
like a gray and black shadow. He
never visits our table, for although
he is not large, his cruel tricks
make him feared by all the small
birds. He swoops down on little
birds and field mice and impales
them, sometimes still struggling, on
nearby thorn or sharp twig. One
morning about eleven o'clock a
shrjke carried a sparrow to the
same japanese ounce bush used by
my friendly tit-mouse. He adjust
ed it on long thorn which he
must have chosen previously, as
there was no hesitation in his ac-
ton. It was a very cold day and
the sparrow was soon frozen thru.
The shrike would eat for while,
then fly to the maple tree from
which he could watch his prize
while waiting for more appetite.
He was five hours consuming IT.,
during all this time going no far
ther than the few feet between the
tree and the bush. It happened
that my occupation necessitated
my sitting at a window overlook
ing the scene, and during all that
time the yard was destitute OF any
other birds save once red blrd
flew to the bush. He came every
day for corn, but this day he bare
ly alighted on the bush when, with
futtoring as if in fear, he flew
hurriedly away, went around the
house and returned to the bush,
but passed over it without alight-
Ing, When the shrike was in the
tree he was so absolutely quiet that
he looked like a knot or excresence
on the limb rather than anything
alive. Once he leaned over, and |
thought he was falling, but he OPP
ened his mouth as if he were eject
ing something; then settled down
once more into a moveless bunch.

Columbus Wrought
Up Over 8 Contests
Waterworks Bonds, Commission
Government and Regular City
Elections impending.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 11.-At present
Columbus is in a turmoil over the
waterworks bond election to be held
october IS, but that will not end poll
tics here for the year.
On December 10 the people of the
city will pass oil the question Of
adopting a commission form of gov
eminent, and it is expected that the
commission government campaign
will be thrown open on Monday fol-
lowing the bond election.
Another campaign to be launched
along with the commission govern
ment viii be that Of candidates for
Mayor and Aldermen. Under the city
charter an election must be held De-
cember 10 for the purpose Of nom
mating a Mayor and eight Aldermen,
and as there will only be three days
between the commission government
election and that of Mayor and AL
dermen, in the event the commission
government does not carry, il would
not leave sufficient time in which d
campaign could be waged for the
city officials
Among those mentioned for Mayor
are Aldermen Charles w. MiZell of
the Eighth Ward, a prominent mer-
chant of the city, who has been in
Council for six years, and Alderman
Robert Reid, of the Fifth Ward, who
is completing his second term as AL
derman. Mr.. Reid is a druggist.

Smith Seeks Recess
For Currency Study
Georgia Leader Believes Time Should Be Given
Senators on Money Law

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE Sen
ate having asserted it's independence
and shown that currency legislation
will be enacted only when the bill
is made as nearly perfect as pos
sible, a recess or probable adjourn
ment may now be taken
President Wilson, it is said being
convinced that his currency program
can not be carried out at the extra
session will not oppose a recess or
adjournment even to December l.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
spent the day sounding his colleagues.
He takes the view that Senators
ought to have all the time between
now and November Is or even De
Cember l to study the currency ques-
ton so that, on equal footing with the
members of the committee, they will
be able intelligently to discuss the
subject when it comes before them.
He said to-day that he found the
sentiment almost unanimously in ia
vor of that position. The House has
been urging adjournment ever since
the tariff bill was passed.
Quorum Not Expected.
1t is expected that after the con-
ference report upon the urgent de-
nclencv Appropriation Dill is agreed 10
in both houses Monday there will not
be a quorum of either house in Wash
ingtOn.
The Senate program is: If on
Thursday when it will meet following
Mondays session, an unanimous con-
sent agreement can not be reached
that between now and November Is
or December l, no business at all shall
be transacted, a joint resolution pro-
viding for an adjournment will be
submitted TO the Senate.
Notwithstanding the unanimous
consent agreement to go on with the
'seamen's bill, the leaders think all
legislation would be held in abey-
ance until currency comes to the
front.
The resolution for the recess or ad-
journment probably will be adopted.

Mrs. Barron Father Is
Bitter in DenunciGtiOn

~ Mr.. Mann, a stalwart farmer, with
strong countenance that bespeaks
determination, is even more bitter
than Mrs. Maddox against Dr. Barron.
There is not a doubt in my mind
that this man robbed me of my
daughter, and I'll spare no pains and
leave no stone unturned to have him
punished" he said. But l also feel
there is punishment provided by law
that is adequate in such heartless
and diabOlical scheme as this.
IF necessary, I'll spend the rest of
my life in the one, effort to see JUS
tice done. I feel that the interest of
every mother and every daughter in
this land demands the crime be

Mr.. Mann said Dr. Barron's hasty
marriage and the manner in which he

wrong. The body ha no sooner been

DR.. Barron leaped into a waiting au-

showed the young husband drove
Monday direct to McDOnough from
the Liberty Hill burial ground, a dis

in that vicinity.
The next afternoon he married Mss
Wheeler.
He was arrested Friday on war

Conspiracy Is Denied.
Senator O'Gorman offered to him
the statements made by Senator

Thursday. charging that the meeting
Of the bankers at Boston was for the
purpose of forcing the bankers views
into the bill or defeating it, and asked
Mr.. Harris if he knew Of any CON
spiracy of such purpose
Il can not find language strong
enough to express my resentment Of
such statements" replied Mr. Harris.
There is" he added, absolutely no
ground for such charge, and the
claim of a conspiracy is untrue"
The witness admitted that he did

Mr. Davidson makes serious charges,
but in such a general way that it is diff
fcult to know to whom he has. refer
ence in this article, but this being the
initial office OF the mailing of the arti-
cles mentioned by him, it is but fair to
presume that he at least includes this
Office with all others.
First, desire to call Mr.. Davidson S
attention to the fact that the employees
of this office do not claim to be infallible,
hence we admit that We do make mis-
takes, and if Mr.. Davidson is without
sin or mistakes, then he is the first and
only person whom have had the pleas
ure OF knowing Of who can claim this
distinction; besides, this office handles
every month more than fifty thousand
pieces OF mail, and these articles men
toned were handled by at least five diff
ferent persons between this Office and
their final destination, and had the gen.
tleman called attention to this Office
that he had piece Of mail that was
delayed we would have taken pleasure
in investigating the matter at once; or
had he made his complaint to the Post
Office Department, instead Of going into
the press and making open charges, the
matter would have had immediate atten-
ton and possibly the guilty party locat-
ed. We most cheerfully court public
investigation Of this office and its en-
ployes at any time, and if any derelict
in duty or discourtesy is reported, the
matter will be very promptly reported
to those in authority for action, and the
clerks who are in any manner connect
ed with this Office feel that the proper
thing for Mr. Davidson to have done
was to have at least called attention to
this matter, or made his charge explicit,
and named the party or office who he
seems to think was guilty of this neg
Iect.
