Governor-Elect Doesn’t Wish to Disturb Things. ATLANTA.—That Governor-elect Hoke Smith’s message to the general assembly will be an exceedingly mild document s freely predicted by Dany, and probably with reasons of & good sort for making the predic tion, That he will not lambast the cor orations or the ‘“political ring” in Georgia is pretty certain. As com- Pared with the message he sent in at the beginning of his first term L will be as a summer zephyr to a Kansas twister. In articles given to the press from time to time, he has more or less forecasted most of the things, or many of them, at least; that will revive treatment in that document. His advocacy of a change in the inauguration of the governor is well known, and he will insist on a change of this kind. A great deal of his message, it is understood, will deal with educational matters and will lay stress on agricultural development of the state. Governor Smith has given these matters very particular study for the past year or so, and will probably have something new to say along this line. According to report, he has conferred with many of his political and personal friends on his message, and has probably submitted a draft of the same to them. Many reasons for advance why Governor Smith put the soft pedal on his first legislative message, the most important, perhaps, being his receptive mind; for the senate, and, therefore, his unwillingness to arouse the public by any red-hot attacks or departures from the ordinary methods; in that paper. The general feeling regarding the message, although developed by the next few weeks, may recall the present intent in that direction in that direction. HETRESS AT WORK IN OAK. Margaret Ingersoll, cashier in a "Staurant at Marietta," has left for New York, where she goes as a "still" spouse of J. W. Ingersoll, "to die and left his only daughter, $500,000." She was located by a detective, who says there is no doubt that her identity, The search for her through Birmingham, Macon, and Atlanta, as she had worked in all of these cities, naturally brought joy to her until the end. NEW YORK'S YOUNG CRIMINALS. Forty percent of crimes committed offenders under 20 years of age, according to Judge Rosalsky of the court of general sessions. Few of the crimes are committed because of want and destitution. The tenements, says Judge Rosalsky, are missionaries for our penal institutions. From stealing an apple, the child will steal a pocketbook; and the child will then be brought to court, admonished by the judge and put on probation. The foreigners' contribution to crime is far less than that of the native born. In the year 1910, 1,699 were convicted of felonies who were born in the United States, and only 1,100 who were born outside of the United States. Less than 5 percent of those who are placed on probation come back to the courts, while from the reformatories, 25 percent, and from state prisons, from 40 to 45 percent become second offenders. Judge Rosalsky is a believer in the probation system, and he also maintains that the state should pay some compensation to criminals while they are serving their sentences. BORROWED A BABY. A Frantic Starch Was Met With an Odd Result. A woman was in the basement of a department store, accompanied by Son, aged 2. Mother was busy selecting sheets and counterpanes for the summer cottage, and Son was having a beautiful browse among bargains tables of toys in the near vicinity. Teddy cats and boxes of slightly damaged leaden soldiers gradually lured him further and further away, and suddenly mother detached her gaze from a Helen pink eiderdown coverlet for Son’s bed and looked in vain for Son. She searched up one aisle and down another until, thoroughly frightened, she appealed to the saleswoman and they joined forces in a more systematic hunt. A floorwalker was enlisted, and the three, aided by several sympathetic shoppers, soon made known the fact that a lost child was sought. A woman pushed her way through the ranks of the searchers, calm and smiling, leading little Son by the hand. “Is this your little boy?” she asked sweetly, transferring Son’s grasp to his mother’s fingers. “I hope I haven’t inconvenienced you. I was over there in the baby’s high chair department, and he’s exactly the size of my own little one, so I just borrowed him a moment to see if he’d fit all right in the chair I bought. Thank you so much, I hope I have not kept you waiting for him.” DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1911. RACING PIGEONS. Is a Favorite Sport in Many Parts of France. Pigeon flying It is carried on in the department of the north with more enthusiasm than in any other section of France. Aside from being a sport, the practical side has appealed to the government, and as a result, almost every garrison is fitted with a loft where pigeons are trained army maneuvers. Several years ago, a decree was signed forbidding the keeping or training of racing pigeons (pigeons) by foreigners residing in the country. A French citizen to keep such birds must first make application to the civil authorities. This application is forwarded to the governor of the department and it is only on his approval that the necessary permission is granted. The training of racing pigeons is a long and tedious undertaking, not always meeting with success, very profitable when properly carried out. The city of Cuba alone has 53 pigeon clubs, the members possessing 12,226 trained birds as well as 7,823 untrained birds, the latter being kept for breeding purposes. These clubs hold a certain number of "concours" or matches during the season, and invite all interested to take a part. For each bird entered a fee of 10 to 40 cents is charged. Each club employs a convoyer, an official whose duty it is to accompany the baskets of pigeons to their destination, feed them during the trip, and release them at the stated time $107.95 FROM SINGLE TREE. One tree carried to Marietta and sold at a chair factory brought just $107.75. Its largest diameter was five feet and two inches and thirty-three inches at the small end of the top end. Five cuts were obtained of a total length of 58 feet. The company cut from the tree 4,000 odd feet of lumber for the manufacture of chairs. Fine oil portrait of Governor Joseph E. Brown Presented ATLANTA.—A fine oil portrait of Governor Joseph E. Brown was Hanged in the governor’s reception room at the capitol yesterday afternoon, replacing the old crayon portrait that has long hung there. This portrait, painted by a celebrated artist, belonged to the late Julius Brown. Gov. Jos. M. Brown recently asked if this portrait could not be given the state, as he wished for a really worthy picture of his father to hang in the capital. As the will of the late Julius Brown left a large part of his estate —————————————————————————————————— Women’s and Children’s Ready-to-Wear The Spring and Summer stock of Dresses, Skirts, Waists and Muslin Underwear bought for this department was the largest ever brought out from the manufacturers and importing centers.

The goods will be offered at 1-4 to 6 1-3 less than marked prices. ATLANTA WOMAN DESCRIBES! LOVE FOR HER CHILDREN. Recorder Tells Her She Should Be Ashamed to Liken Human Mother's Affection to That of Beast. ATLANTA.—Mrs. R. F. Maulden, wife of an Atlanta bailiff and mother of eleven children, was bound over to the state courts yesterday by Recorder Broyles under a bond of $500 for assault and battery. Mrs. Maulden made a terrific attack on Mrs. Nettie Albert, a public school teacher, because Mrs. Albert chastised her 13-year-old son, Fred, in school. Mrs. Maulden stopped Mrs. Albert on her way from the schoolroom, and after a few words the angry mother drew a strap and used it furiously. Policemen nearby rushed up, but not before Mrs. Maulden had given Mrs. Albert fully fifty licks. In police court, Mrs. Maulden made a very dramatic statement. She compared her love for her children as that of a tigress for her cubs, and said she would fight anybody who laid hands on one of her offspring. She declared that not even their own father dared touch them. She was strongly rebuked by the recorder for any such comparison of mother love, who said the beasts of the field knew no law and respected none, but yielded only to brute instinct to protect their young. He said this was not true of woman, and that Mrs. Maulden ought to feel ashamed of herself. But Mrs. Maulden was not ashamed, and she made it clear how she felt. The Maulden wanted Mrs. Albert bound over for unmercifully chastising a delicate boy, but the recorder declined to take any such action. Later, the Maulden swore out an accusation against the teacher in the city court. The case caused a great sensation to the Georgia School of Technology, the officials and members of the board being called to take any such action. They held that portraits of the family belonged to surviving members of the Brown family, and thought it would be singularly appropriate if this fine painting should be tendered the state. Yesterday was the birthday of Governor Jos. M. Brown's mother, and he deemed it a suitable time to hang the portrait in the reception room, where it may be seen. It is said to be a remarkably life-like picture of Georgia's war governor. FAT CHICKENS. Scientific Way of Making Broilers Plump and Tempting. Poultry pushers in Jersey garden land are making good trying latest scientific tricks at fattening big broilers, says Tip in the Sunday Press. The broilers get little of the joy of gulping down the early, snaky, squirmy, sun-up worm, nor is for them the joy of crunching the spring frog or grasshopper. No, it is the dough bag and food pump for theirs. Twice daily the forced feeding stomach nozzle is shoved down the gullet, and the crop is filled with ambrosial chicken grub, a mushy bill of fare consisting of a careful, crawling, some combination of buttermilk, ground cereals and ground meats. With their craws full, the chicken house is made into a dark room so that nothing may disturb their beauty, fat sleep or invite to chickeen thought or action and thus bring that lean, lank, and hungry look. The dark dungeon system of preparing chickens for market has an effect something like depriving the apple of its core or the peach of its stone and making solid apple and peach meat of the whole fruit, for such prison broilers are as tender and juicy in the dark depths of the drumstick as in the creamy heart of their sweet, swelling bosom, and dressed on parade hanging from the hooks in a butcher shop, the beautiful broilers look like a crack regiment of fat, killed, coddled squabs. You can pretty nigh pitch in and eat up one of these fowls of the dark chamber from the diamond shape nose on the wrong end right on through back and breast to neck without even carving—just like a cheese chicken and the same as boneless. The funniest thing is the way these foolish birds open their beaks and beg when they see the grub nozle coming. FEAGLE FORCED TO GIVE Followed in Wake of Vessel for One Hundred Miles, Worn out by its flight of several days in the wake of the United States transport Buford an American eagle dropped aboard that vessel at a point nearly 100 miles off the Aleutian Islands. The bird was thoroughly spent from its flight of 80 many days, and the members of the crew of the troopship experienced no difficulty in capturing it. Land birds have frequently dropped aboard vessels far out at sea, but this is the first time that an eagle has taken a sea voyage on a transport. When the Buford arrived at San Francisco a few days ago the bird had been installed in a ready-made cage. The transport has just returned from a voyage to China with 12,000 tons of foodstuffs for the famine sufferers. VOL. 29.---NO. 36 MAKE PRACTICE OF ROBBING COUNTRY BANKS IN WEST. Since last October one hundred have been looted and much money secured, since last October 100 country banks have been robbed in each instance from $1,000 to $7,000 were taken. and practically the same procedure was followed in every case. In the three states there are 2,500 banks, 2,000 of them in little towns and villages, with practically no police protection. This is the usual procedure in the robbing of banks. Along after midnight the residents are aroused by two or three explosions. Those daring enough to venture on the streets see an automobile standing in front of the bank and two men with guns giving orders to stand back. Inside are their companions filling sacks with money from the safe. Having gathered all the cash possible, the burglars entered the machine, fire a few minutes, and shooting shots and going racing out of town. Then come the gathering of a house, the cranking up of the cars, and desperate attempt to follow and capture the robbers. In the instance has there been a capture. Governors have issued proclamations, legislatures and bankers’ associations have increased rewards for the robbers dead or alive, but the robberies continue. At one time it was asserted that the rendezvous of the burglars was in Nebraska, where in a county near the line the officers were too intimidated or too venal to arrest the gang. Some outside officers went there and made arrests, but the prisoners proved an alibi and the mystery is as deep as ever. Sometimes several weeks go by without a robbery; then there will be two or three in a single night. The automobile is blamed for much of this crime, and the unprotected condition of the country bank is an incentive to the burglar. Usually the robberies occur when the roads are good and the escape is easiest. The boldness of the operations and the fact that more than one who interfered with them has been shot and seriously wounded or killed has made the country police afraid to take chances. GIRL'S PICTURE ON BONDS. The likeness of Marie Moore, the winsome little daughter of the mayor of Macon, will appear on the face of the new issue of $900,000 of water bonds in the place where it is usually the most elaborate vignotting. The order for the bonds has just been placed with the livthographers.
