SPARE THE BIRDS

There is much complaint of the
ruthless killing of robins and other
migratory birds by the little young
sters who probably received their
guns from Santa Claus this year.
There is fine of $25 liable to any
one shooting migratory bird, but no
one likes to lodge complaint against
small boy with such a penalty to
follow. The grievance that the wom-
en- in town feel greater than the an
noyance of having these snipers in
an daround their yards is their pity
for the little birds who may be only
winged yet fall to die death which
is particularly cruel. In numerous in
stances when chided for their sport
the little fellows. are right saucy and
complaint if gone into any further
is feared to run into a neighborhood
quarrel, so the UNDECIDED Gliding is
about the extent that the matter
reaches. The fault really begins with
the parents Whe nthey give their
child gun they know he is going to
use it for killing and wounding. It
has no other use. 1t is their plain
duty when they give him gun to in
struct him in the use of it and to
forbid law breaking and cruelty, too,
if such is possible. The right of little
birds to live and the right of people
to be unmolested in their protection
of them in their own trees are two
things that parents and children
should proceed to learn if now ig-
norant.

ERVATIoN HOPE TO MAKE 1T
A CITY.

Atlanta, Jan. 1O.-Plans for de-
velopment of new Georgia port at
Point Peter, at the mouth of the St.
Marys River, and about two miles
from the present town of st. Marys,
were announced here today by
Charles S. Barrett and Arthur Lucas,
who recently purchased the Point
Peter military reservation from the
government.
On the property, which contains
72O acres, the purchasers contem-
plate creation of a new port city, with
port facilities, terminal warehouses
and railroad connection, which 1T is
believed, will make it one OF the
most important ports on the Southern
Atlantic Coast.
1t is said that capital from the
northwestern part of the United
States will participate in financing
the new development and a great
stream of transportation from the
Northwest, coming by boat through
; the Panama Canal and transferring
| to rail at the new Point Peter city, is
visioned.
| Wheat, lumber, canned salmon ano
other products of the Northwest, il
is believed, would be handled thi:

Peter are held in hands friendly tt

this information has never been COM
piled.
"Original orders and letters, some
of them signed by the Secretary OF
the Navy, Hon. S. K. Mallory, were
found in the chests. These give in
formation on the regulations of the
naval service and the rates of pay,
etc
"The list of supplies bought for
the ships and the prices of clothing
purchased for the men show the diff
ferences in price paid by the Confed-
crate navy during the four years Of
the war and the steady increase OF
cost from 1861 to 1865.
Zone list of supplies, dated 1861,
shows that then bread cost five cents
a load, but the price increased, until
in July, 1864. bread cost S1.O0 a
loaf. The bill for the purchase of
beef show a greater increase. Beef
cost ten cents a pound in 1861, but
by July 1, 1864, cost $500. The same
price was paid for a pound OF pork
and of lard. These were for large
quantities of supplies and were whole
sale prices.
"Another bill listed cabbage at IS
cents head, lock for $40 and a
team of mules, with wagon and har-
ness. at S., 900. Meal at ST bushel,
corn at S45 barrel, and wheat at
SIS bushel are among the items
receipted for in 1864. Apple brandy
at $50 a gallon was among the sup
plies bought. Salt cost 40 cents a
pound in 1864, soap So pound. and
bills dated July, 1864, show that flour
cost the Confederate navy $l50
sack.
''The cost of clothing, shoes espe-
cially, is shown as steadily increasing
during the war. In 1861 "a contract
was signed for shoes at $1.7O pair.
In June, 1862, cotton shoes were
listed at Sc pair, and in 1854 Eng
lish shoes were purchased at S95 a
pair. A later bill shows that the price
rose to S38 in August, 1864.

son to Oxford, which was paid by an
officer at Halifax, N. c., contained |
the item board one day at Hender-
son. 500 Similar expense lists show,
approximately the same amount was
paid for a days board in other cities.
among the items listed was one
for tomato seeds for the marines to
plant which cost so cents for small
package. Wood in 1864 cost $50
cord.
"There are records of the building
of the gunboats at New Orleans, the
of vessels at Mobile, Co
lumbus and Augusta. Industrial rec
ords are included, too, as well as rec
ords showing the ordnance manutac-
curing activities about Richmond. Va,
Selma and other cities.
"a number of the papers contain
about the Confederate
marine corps. Rolls of men in bar
racks and on ships are included; alos
bills for supplies purchased for them.

saved at the new point, because Point
Peter is not over three miles from
the open sea; is reached by wide
open channel, and there is said to be
depth of about seventy feet OF water
enough for the largest vessel
afloat.
One of the biggest industries con-
templated by those interested in the
new development, it is said, is ship
ment of wheat from Seattle and other
North Pacific coast ports, to Point
Peter, there to be made into flour
and distributed over the Southeast.

WHY NOT WORK OR PLAY
GOLF SUNDAY?

DR.. George David Stewart, 1or-
merly president of the American
Academy of Medicine, said that men
who play golf on Sunday are injuring
their hearts, while if they worshipped
they would strengthen them. rest
their nerves and build up their health.
He added, "The peace of God, which
passeth all understanding" is the
finest arterial strengthened that the
physician knows anything about. We
run to artificial stimulants, we
strain our hearts and break down our
tissues with the use of aspirin and
other so-called friendly drugs"
whereas faith in God and dependence
on Him would clear our minds, quiet
our nerves, straighten out our stom-
achs, ease our pains and vitalize our
whole being.
