WEDNESDAY, T ANNUAL MEETING Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Chjld- ' ren and Animals. The annual meeting of this noble, hu mane and philanthropic ' Society was held on Monday evening. Although the attendance was not large, the meeting was a highly delightful, pleasant, profit able and enthusiastic one. The election of officers being in order, the following were elected for the year : President A. S. Heide. First Vice President Dr. E. A. An derson.v , Second Vice President S. W. Hol- Secretary and Treasurer F. A. Lord. Alter the election of officers which in each case was unanimous-the fol lowing Board of Managers was duly, elected : Messrs. A. S. Heide. S. W. Holden, F. A. Lord, P. Heinsberger, C. W. Ganger Suitable resolutions were adopted re garding the members of the Society who died the past year. They are the fol lowing : ' The Society's Dead T. J. Souther- land, L. J: Poisson, Geo. A. Peck. Trie committee on resolutions con sists of Kev. F. W. F. Peschau, D. D.. C. H. Ganzer and ex-Mayor . J. Fowler. After disposing of all business of this character the Society .entered into a lively, earnest . and wide-awake discus sion of cases ot cruelty to children and also to animals. Attention was drawn to the deplorable fact that cruelty is now being shown- and has been shown to cows, goats, mules and horses. 'It "was reported that certain parties who' deal in cows and who either live here or cr me from the surroiyiding country, when de siring to sell cows, sometimes do not milk them for two or three days, to make unsuspecting customers think that thev give a great amount of fnilk. Some not only thus cruelly-keep a cow unmilked for" several days, but ' have muz zled young . calves 'by tying small but, strong strings around their mouths to keep them from sucking. This kind of cruelty called for many comments, that showed a deep interest in this matter. It was announced that if it were neces sary several parties could be named who are guilty of such cruelty, and that some were waiting only for still further proof to put an end to such cruel treatment of innocent and helpless animals. Complaint was also made that some boys drive small goats in wagons entire ly too heavy for them, and that some most cruelly beat them, jerk their bits until their mouths bleed, etc " The way many drivers of mules and ! ' 1 - - - " - - horses drive them, after they have strained every nerve In pulling a heavy load of wood or coal through the deep sand, was severely criticized. Some hurry them in almost a full run down hill, lashing them severely when tired, worn and jaded, to make up, ofttimes. time lost in useless gossip. Some such cases have been reported to employers. who remedied the matter. - The Society watches even more care fully in cases of cruelty to children and expressed its dissatisfaction at the way some children, apparently not more that eight, ten or twelve years of age, are allowed to drive horses in buggies, carriages, wagons, etc., by themselves on onr ; streets. The inexperience of such children makes it dangerous . for themselves, for the safety of others, and for the animals they drive. This should not be allowed. Cases ; of cruel punishment by whip i : - ping children too hard were discussed, as some had been reported. -The cruel carelessness of so many children's nurses was warmly condemned . and quite a number of cases referred to. It was de cided that the Society call upon all parents who send their young children out with nurses , to be kind enough to mark the baby's carriage with a neat nickel plate badge.with the initials of the father's name on itso that cases of cruelty can be reported. This would be a great help to the Society and would greatly j remedy the carelessness which causes cruelty. Some people think the Society's principal object is to punish evil-doers. This is a mistake; its prin cipal object is to prevent cruelty and thus protect the innocent and helpless. May she be helped in her noble work and enconraged in itl ' - BesiRned. " Mr. J. R. Nolan, General Manager of the Seacoast Railroad, has tendered his resignation, to take, effect March. 1st. This will be regretted by the patrons of the road who have found in Mr. Nolan an accommodating gentleman and a capable official. His plans for the future are not known but it will not be long before; he will secure a position com mensurate with his ability and experi ence as a railroader. Weather Forecasts.

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES. Receipts of cotton here yesterday, 490 bales; same date last year, 552.' Net-receipts of cotton at all United States ports yesterday, 32,696 bales. New York future market closed steady, with sales ot 148.200 bales; Feb ruary opened at 6.97 and closed 7.04; March, 7.07 and closed 7.09: April. 7.16 and. closed 7.818; May, 7.27 and closed 7.28. , U; O. Picayune: The only relief possible is for each planter to make his own bread, and where the climate will permit, his meat supplies. When, these needs are provided for he can devote his surplus energy to the culture of cot ton with the assurance that want and starvation will not compel him to sacri fice his cotton without regard to loss. Wisdom is often only gained ! through the most severe experience. We are ready to believe that the Southern cot ton planters have at last learned some lessons about diversifying crops that will last them o the end of their lives. Savannah News: The farmers are very much in earnest in their desire to cut down cotton production, but unfor tunately they want their neighbors to do what they do not- propose to do them selves. The low price of cotton this season will do more toward reducing the next cotton crop than all the resolutions that have ; been passed, because thous ands of farmers have neither the money nor the credit to plant as much cotton this year, as -they did last.. However, there is no reason why the farmers shou d not call conventions and adopt resolutions-. 1 he resolutions cannot do any harm, and may do Some good. ii he Augusta convention made one suggestion that had not been made by previous conventions. It is that; com mission merchants of the south who handle food products, assist in making a market for such products from south ern farms. If food crops could be made money crops, there would be less hesita tion among Southern farmers in giving attention to them. RAILROAD NOTES. For the third week in January the Louisville & Hartsville reports a loss in earnings of $43,490 ; the East Tennessee reports a loss of $38,193; the Norfolk & Western a loss of $21,404 ; the Texas & Pacific a loss ot $21,143 ; the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas a loss of $20,927, and the Memphis & Charleston a loss of $11.135.. Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 30 The injunc tion asked by the Georgia Railroad Co. against the Georgia,. Carolina & North ern, which enjoins that road, which is now graded to the city limits, from con demning and using a portion of the right of way of the Georgia road, was granted by Judge Marshall J. Clarke to day.' It is a case of general interest, in volving . several points of vital impor tance to the railroads of the State. Under, the special act of the Georgia Legislature incorporating the Georgia, Carolina & Noithern, that road was given power to condemn and appropri ate part of the terminal facilities of the Georgia road. Proceeding under this authority' the new road sought to con demn a strip along the southern side of the Georgia Railroad s right of way about twenty-four feet wide, extending from Hulse, just outside ot the city limits, to Grant street, where the Geor fiia. Carolina & Northern depot is lo cated temporarily. 4 he imunctton was atked for and granted as stated. The interesting point is on the power of the Legislature to grant in a special charter privileges not embraced in the general railroad charter. Judge L-iarices oe cision in effect declares that such special charters are illegal, . and another point that is sueeested is that other roads holding special charters granted since the passage of the general railroad law directed by the constitution are operat ing under void authority." A bill of ex- ceDtions is already In - preparation, and the case will be carried to the supreme Court. , . ' . " " - A Bear-Skin Han.
