(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

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.
