Jenkins Hakes Plumed IVomon Restless A SHARP SHARPER A Clicck Flasher of tlie First Water .Works Ills Pretty Scheme on ( a Statesvllle Hotel Man to the Amount! of $75 -Equipped ...-. With Stationery, Etc I f ' (Special to News and Qbserver.) Statesvllle, N. C. Nov. ll-H-Llke Davenport, who Is doing much 'good. Rev. C. Ki Jenkins, of Statesvllle, Is pleading for the dumb animals which are tortured for man's pleasure. 'At the First Baiptlst church' Sunday after noon Mr. ; Jenkins preached - a strong sermon on the treatment of dumb ani mals and the relation between men and animals. , He first read the first chap ter of Genesis, telling of the creation of the animals and all other things and then took for his text Deuter onomy; 22. e and 7: . - - 1 - 1 r . -If a! bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be youngi one or ergs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the cam; with the young: v ''But thou shalt in any wise let the dam ro and take the younr to thee; that it: may' be well with' theei! and that thou mayest prolong thy days." Rev. Mr. Jenkins beran his remarks by statinir that there was . too i little said in the. pulpit, papers, etc ahout our relation to the animal . and how they should be treated. God made th animals before he made man and they are our fellow- creatures, and they have some claims and rights. . God thought enough of the birds and! other animals aa to Include them In the com mandments and to Instruct the Isreal Ites as to how they should treat them. He said that some people went to the extreme about their pet animals, and condemned the poodle dog fad whien exists among the women who prefer dors to children and the fad of erect ing- monuments- to dogeats end ether such petsV J J""4 Prefer this ex treme to the. cruel extremr,TioweTer. Her-lllustrated the effect of a kind ! word to a dog or cat and the faithfulness, of these animals, citing . instances of where dogs hid laid down their, lives for their masters. , i - After pleadinr for the dogs and cats Mr. Jenkins turned; the course of hh remarks to the birds and their relation to the women's hats.. The women were hit .hard and those in the audience who were guilty of this evil, became very restless, i Ha pictured the cruel way by which these wines and heads Of birds were torn from the living the wingless birds were birds and how thrown; to the horrible death ground to await a after their plumage had been torn from - them. He j cited cases of , where the most beaatlf ul birds had been exterminated from cer tain sections ' by this practice r and style of wearing them on - hats. He also told of the Immense business done by the hunter who secure the wings, etc., and the wholesale houses which furnish; them to the milliners. Some of the statistics and figures In regard to the amount of business done by some of these bird-wing concerns were astonishing. j . I The cock flrht was condemned and a plea was made for better methods of shipping poultry. The men ' who shoot" pigeons for sport and the fox hunters who have foxes brought! from a distance to this section to.be chased and cruelly torn to pieces by dogs for man's pleasure were given a hard lick. It is alright toj hunt the fox and de stroy It; where It Is a pest, but it Is wrong and cruelty to bring them here just for the pleasure of killing them. The over-loaded goat carta and i the boys who beat the goats were men tioned and the fad of docking ( horses and using check reins which' cause horses much pain and inconvenience were condemned. God knew better how to nnish up a horse than i man does. The' old cow which is left tied out in the hot sun in summer and al lowed to freeze; in the winter was also among the list of the mistreated. . -: . Mr. Jenkins concluded his most im pressive remarks by saying that" we should remember that animals I have feelings! and we should let them know we have religion by our. actions to wards them and their treatment at our hands, j - -s: -.; i ' -. ' We see dumb animals cruelly mis treated every day of our lives and if all ministers would plead for the ani mals from the pulpit there would be less cruelty. There are : societies In most cities which .'look after the mis treatersi of dumb animals but there is no such! society in Statesvllle. There should be and will probably be if others will take the stand that; Rev. Mr. Jenkins has taken, v , A Sharper of Tlie First Watery It has developed that Statesvllle was recently visited by a check flasher and as: a result f (his visit to Statesvllle Mr. E. G. Gilmer, proprietor of Hotel Iredell. Is out $7S in: cold cash. Thurs day.) October S 1st, a. man stopped at Hotel Iredell and registered as R. W. Harris, St. Louis, and asked if there .was any! mail for him. A letter, which had been at the hotel some time, was handed him and he opened the letter in the presence ot Mr. Gilmer. The letter was written on the stationery of the Missouri Glass Co., St Louis, and contained ft check for $76. made payable to Harris, and signed by ; the Missouri; Glass Company, B. W. Dur sing, treasurer,! The company's name was placed on the check with a rub ber stamp and the treasurer's name was signed in Ink. The letter stated that the! money, was for expense ac count It Is not unusual for traveling mm to receive checks from their houses for expense account while onl tne road and it is the usual thing for the hotel men to cash these checks for accommodation to their patrons.
