ASSIST THE HEALTH DEPART

!forces.
Hut not all the premises have been
thoroughly cleaned. The absence ot
! water has been a groat hindrance.
Vet it la Imperatively necessary that
this cleaning process be pushed To
delay thla Is to Invite disease, fin
der every house and In every house
where 'he water reached all damaged
matter and everything that Is unsan
Itary should be removed. In thU
work the health department should
he given all possible assistance.
The fine weather during the week
has facilitated the work of cleaning
up. Italii at the present time, while
It ban Its disadvantages also has its
advantages, In enabling water to be
brought Into play In ihe prosecution
of this work. Another week of such
work a. haH been done during tho
past we.-k should complete the clean
ing up process, not only In the heart
of ih,! city but In every street and
alley. It will see this result If the
people generally will cooperate fully
with the health department.
I)r Kugene Murphey, Its president,
has labored unremittingly. So have
all Ills assistants. They will continue
to do so Hut their labor will be
greatly lightened and will be made
much more effective If the people
generally will co-operate by the re

THE LAZY DISEASE.
This Is Ihe day of the microbe.
Learned scientist* made the discovery
that certain diseases to which human
flesh Is heir were caused by microbes,
little things so small as to he invisi
ble lo 111)' naked eye. Hlnee then
the doctors have been busy hunting
other microbes that cause other dis
eases. if microbes cause one dis
ease, why not microbes cause all dis
eases? Nothing more reasonable
ihnn that proposition. So the scient
ists are busy trying to discover Ihe
parlttuilar microbe that causes every
particular disease.
And they are measurably succchs
ful. They are discovering the mi
crobe that Is responsible Tor many
diseases. Amnnn them has been the
microbe whlrh causes the lazy dis
ease. Of course, laziness Is a ills
ease It | H an abnormal condition,
and that Is disease. And the mi
crobe which causes laziness has been
discovered. A long scientific name
haa been given him, us | H ihe wav
with dodors, hut the common name
by Which he Is called is hookworm.
Dr. Harris, secretary or the Geer-
Kla Stale Hoard of Health, tins been
devoting much time to the study of
the hookworm and the disease he
causes. lie has reached the conclu
sion tha’ the hookworm Is the pin

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
PRESS COMMENT ON THE
AUGUSTA FLOOD.
Savannah's Response.
Savannah has responded handsome
ly to the call for aid to the flood suf- I
ferers in Augusta. This city is not ]
known for its much speaking or its j
vain boasting, but any worthy cause j
which knocks at its doors does not
s.-.-k In vain. Many people in Savan
nah ar<- allied in a business or social
wav with Augusta. Two of the oldest |
cities In Georgia, they are founded I
upon the banks of the same river |
and have always been connected by !
commercial and neighborly ties. An
injury to Augusta awakens sympathy !
here, and the way in which the city !
has mei the appeal for aid has been j
prompt and wholehearted.
When the Savannah Press called
upon the community there was no
! hesitation. The situation was simple
and bore upon its face the sign of
j suffering and destitution. It only re
quired a little time for a city like
Augusta to recuperate fully from such
a visitation. ft has met the flood
and turned it aside before. It wilt do
It now. In the meantime there is an
Interim of darkness, of want, of hun
ger perhaps. In this breach Savau
j nail has thrown her succor and pledg
ed her aid.
Added to these are the best wishes
that the damage will only be tempo
rary and the confidence that a few
'-vc ks of sunshine will restore beau
tiful Augusta to its former condition.
—Savannah Press.
Great Sympathy for Augusta.
Kdgetiold sympathizes deeply with
Augusta In the great toss of life and
property through the frenhet of laßt
wo k. No such calamity has befallen
our sister city across the Savannah
since the freshet of September, ISXB
I Though they have lost, heavily, the
people of Augusta are not the kind
to lie downcast or discouraged. On
the contrary, with characteristic de
termination and resolution, they will
rise to the occasion, regain their
losses and repair (heir damages. In
a few weeks Augusta will he the
same fair city that it was ten days
' ago Ail traces of the wreck and
ruin wrought by the high water will
have disappeared. Again, Edgefield
extends profound sympathy to Au
gusta.—Edgefield Advertiser.
Good for Columbus.
We are glad to see that the people
of Columbus are responding so
! promptly and generously to the call
I for aid for our sister city of Augusta,
whlrh during the past week suffered
the greateat disaster that has befallen
i it In decades.
j It Is good to know that generosity,
; unselfishness and warm sympathy for
| the unfortunate—exponents of real
religion rnntinue to manifest them
selves on occasions like this, when
a whole city is overtaken by mis
fortune. and that in llu* good work
undertaken by the people of the state
of Georgia in this instance our own
city Is prominent.—Columbus En
quirer Sun.
Augusta is the kind of a town that
might reasonable be expected lo
scrape the Savannah river mud off
|of her buildings and convert It Into
vitrified brick for the paving of more
| streets. Augusta has never been per
manently or severely cast down by
misfortune. —Albany Herald.
Plucky Augusta is rapidly setting
things right and will soon be inde
pendent again. The heavy loss of
life and property was a hard blow,
j but with that indomitable will which
makes America the greatest nation on
earth, she will hi* trigger and better
, than ever when she has recovered
from the effects of the flood.-—West
I Point News.
The city of Augusta, however. Is
famed for Its spirit and enterprise,
and its undaunted citizenry will put
i their energies to the wheel and In

BRIDGE CONTRACT
HASBEENAWARDED
W. J. Twiggs Will Rebuild
Approaches And Have
Both Completed in Fort
night.
Yesterday afternoon Mayor Dunbar
awarded the contract for repairing
North Augusta bridge to Mr. W. J.
Twiggs for the sum of $2,000, aud
work is to be started without delay.
The bridge will be ready for public
traffic within two weeks and in view
df the fact that the cost is so much
less than was first estimated there
will be no tolls charged. This will
be most acceptable news to the gen
eral public, but, of course, everybody
is already acquainted with this de
cision. which was given through The
Herald Friday.
All the bids offered at first were
rejected and bridges and wharf com
mittee delegated the mayor the pow
er to let out the contract to some
party or have the work done under
the supervision of the city engineer
ing department.
However, a satisfactory offer was
received yesterday afternoon to have
the work done by a construction com
pany and the job was awarded to Mr.
W. J. Twiggs. This solution of the
bridge problem removes a great
amount of worry from the city as the
engineering department had enough
work on its hands already without at
j tending to th e North Augusta bridge.

VERY YOUNG BRIDE

No Reason Known Why
Young Woman Should
Kill Herself.
NEW YORK.—Dressed in her wed j
(ling gown, 16-year-old Mrs. Louis
Yarsas, bride of less than a year, fired I
a revolver shot through her heart, j
while alone in her husband’s home, in \
Bayonne, N. J., yesterday.
Melancholia is the only reason as
signed for the suicide of the gi 1
bride, whose twenty-year-oki husband,
cn going home for luncheon, was un
able to open the locked door, ahd was j
obliged to lift a boy through the tran
som before he could be admitted.
With a strange forebod! the i
young husband rushed to the bedroom,
where he found the girl-bride cold in '
death, stretched upon the bed, the re
volver still clasped in her right hand, |
while the bullet hole through the j
white wedding gown told its terrible |
story. Young Yarsas is nearly frantic
with grief.
