Vegetarian F'urs Are

Where once there were ten

no corpses, there are a thousand

And where ten years ago the
menu of the vegetarian was a

to-day it is rich in variety and
appetizing in taste and excellent

The writer recently met a man
of SO who was in magnificent
health; virile, handsome and pos
sessed of a most brilliant mind.
An orator and a thinker of unu-
sual power, this man had never
in his life tasted meat, fish, fowl,
eggs, coffee, alcoholic drinks or
tobacco.
He was born and bred in India,
and his simple diet of fruit, vege-
tables, cereals and milk with an
occasional dissipation in a cup of
weak teal had sufficed to make
him what he was in brain and
body. The vegetarians have often
been confused when confronted by
the seeming necessity of furs in

Furs and Plumage.

WOMAN is slow in her
w growth toward thestand-
ard of life, which illus
trates in her daily and hourly
conduct the kindness and the
sympathy which are supposed to
be her chief characteristics. New
err was this fact more clearly and
painfully illustrated than in the
anger and rebellion which the
majority OF women exhibited
when the law forbidding the i'm
porting or wearing of aigrettes
and plumage of dead birds was
enforced.
There was a resounding cry
against the tyranny of American
laws and much sarcastic COM
ment on the land of the free.
Women who occupied high po-
sitions socially and in artistic cir
Giles felt their. rights had been
infringed upon, and they were
loud in denunciation of the law
which interfered with their privi-
lege to aid and abet the destruc-
ton of song birds and birds of
beautiful plumage.
The very fact that it requires
law to prevent women from incit-
ing wholesale slaughter of these
glorious little creatures is a re-
Election on the sex.
But the enforcing of this law
has awakened new brain cells in
the inventive organs of men and
women milliners, and we are see
ing most attractive hats composed
of materials which are far more
hygienic and more exquisite than
portions of dead birds, and which
allow greater variety of taste to

Teach Children To Be
Kind to Animals and
Birds.

The Humane and S. P. c. A.
societies are issuing a little but
ton to be sold and worn by chill
dren, bearing the motto. "Kind-
ness to Animals"
Every effort made to interest
children in this subject should he
met with encouragement by their
elders.
Here is a letter which appeared
in humane magazine, sent from
Hartford, Conn, which tells Just
what is going on in every part of
the land to-day:
The indiscriminate killing Of
BIRDS with an air gun has been
carried on all summer in the
south end of the city by some
small boys. These same boys were
found picking up the dazed and
manned birds and roasting them
alive. They also shot a little boy.
He was quietly playing in his own
yard. Not only have they been
killing and wounding birds. but
any little animal they saw became
a target for them.
"A fady's cat was shot twice In
one week. The first time sand
was shot under the skin, on
front shoulder. The second time
it was shot in the eye, causing
great suffering for days. When
the lady demonstrated with one
of the boys for such cruel sport
the father of the boy came out,
and, though a perfect stranger,
was insolent in his remarks to
her. Finally the matter was
brought to the attention of the
Game Warden, who promptly in
vestigated the case, and who ex-
planned the law to the mother of
the boy who owned the air gun.

COUNTY PRIMARY WAS
VERY QUIET AFFAIR

The Democratic Primary election
for the nomination of county officers
was held last Friday and was one OF
the quietest affairs that has been seen
in long time There was very lit
tie interest manifested - the voters
and the farmers especially stayed at
work. Out of the registration of
4,SO0 only $500 went to the polls
little more than half. Several of
the candidates who expected their
main strength to come from the
country precincts were disappointed
on this account.
The ticket as it was voted appears
below. A full table Of the returns
for each candidate and for each pre-
cinct is on the last page. 1t is taken

COMMISSIONERS GIVE
COUNTY FAIR BOOST
Will Furnish Grew of Convicts
For Ten Days To Help
Grade Race Track.

Decidedly the biggest boost that
has been offered the Cobb County
Fair Association came Tuesday when
the Board of County Commissioners
agreed to help build a race track on
the site that has been leased for
the fair. There is not much work
TO be done but to hire it by private
contract would be a burden so heavy
that it is doubtful if the Fair Asso-
citation could have been able to build
track and it is certainty that the
fair would never be a success finan-
cially without good races.
Tuesday the committee from the
Fair Association went before the
Commissioners at their regular meet
ing and asked them to help in the
work. The result was that the Com
missioners went with the committee
Tuesday afternoon to the Reynolds
property just below Fair Oaks and
looked the situation over. They re-
turned to Marietta and after debat-
ing the question for some time de-
cided that they would tender the use
of Mr.. Cliff Mayes crew of convicts
together with all his road building
equipment for ten days. This equip
ment includes one of the big new gas
Oline woodworking engines and it is
probable that the track can be built
within the ten days.
The Fair Association is singing the
praises of the Commissioners loudly
and folks are asking for stock rapid
ly since the decision of the Commits
stones.
The Editor of the Journal went
with the Commissioners and the Fair
Committee and the site selected for
the Fair is a dandy. A fine race
track can be built and the grand
stand will be placed on hill at the
home stretch and face the east SO

er the spectators. There is plenty of
land for the buildings and it is just
about half way between Marietta and
Smyrna and right on the car line.
1t is confidently believed that at
least one thousand people a day can
be brought to see the fair and the
races from Atlanta.

LIEUT.. JOHN H. TOWERS OF
GA. FLIES OVER VERA CRUZ

A few days ago Lieut.. Towers, O.
Rome, and nephew of Misses Tow
ers in Marietta, flew above and
around Vera Cruz making the first
army aeroplane accommodating flight
ever made in time of war and proved
successful in every way. He main
tanned a speed of SO miles an hour
and a height of 1000 feet, with
strong glasses he could see the cor9-
try we'll.
Lieut.. Towers flight not only
proved the value of an aeroplane in
scouting, but brought relief to those
who were concerned for the safety
of Americans in Mexico City. 1t had
been feared that all rail communica-
ton between Vera Cruz and the
Mexican Capital had been destroyed.
The air flight disproved this.
The old idea that an aviator in
time of war would have to fly so
high that his observations would be
of little value was disproved. The
aviator reported that from a height
of almost half mile he could see
the railroad tracks. Soledad, "a
miles from Vera Cruz, where Cen
Mas was stationed, was clearly seen
by Lieut.. Towers. He discovered
that instead of having 1000 troops,
Mas had only about 700.

MY BE DEARTH OF
CIGARETTE PAPERS

Because most of the cigarette papers,
of which millions are burned annually
in United States, are manufactured
either in France or in Austria, the
European war if prolonged may deprive
many of those who "roll their own of
the fuming pill. A few cigarette papers
are made in United States but these are
of cheaper and of poorer quality and
American cigarette smokers invariably
call for imported papers.
A local cigar man stated this morning
that he did not look for famine in
cigarette papers because there was a
good supply of them on hand in this
country. However careful INGREDIENTS
are ordering large quantities of them
ahead just to be on the safe side. Most
of the worold's supply of tobacco is
grown in United States. Even the i'm.
ported mixtures ara grown in this
country and exported to foreign coun-
tries where they may have foreign
names, labels, and import duties placed
upon them to improve the flavor FOR
the discerning American smoker.

BIG GERMAN LINER
CAPTURED BY BRITISH

New York, Aug. l1.-Despite details
from German sources it was believed
practically certain here today that the
North German Lloyd steamship KrOn-
prinz Wilhelm has been captured by
warship. Reports of the capture of the
liner came from two sources.
Under cover of darkness, the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm left this port last week,
Ostensibly for Bremen. She carried
5000 tons of coal which, it was believed,
was intended for the German cruiser
Dresden somewhere ON the Atlantic.
The steamship Narragansette, here
from Rotterdam, reported hearing wire.
less messages to the effect that the
Kronprinz Wilhelm had been captured.
A similar report was given out by the
Royal Mail Packet company, whose
steamers are in the Bermuda trade.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm would make
a valuable war prize. She was built in
1901, is of 81 200 tons displacement and
can make % knots hourly.
