Macon Telegraph
We think every Georgian, and in
particular the people of central and
south Georgia, should be proud of the
Macon Daily Telegraph. Its installa¬
tion of a new $50,000.00 high-speed
octuple press, the largest in the
South capable of printing both regu¬
lar and colored comic editions, is an
achievement which speaks of the
great, growing service of the Tele¬
graph to Georgia and is significant
■of the progress and development of
our fertile, flourishing half of the
state. The Macon Telegraph is really
a great daily newspaper worthy of
any city or section of America.
We Reach the Critical Pe¬
riod of the Anti-Boll
Weevil Campaign
It is poison time in the cotton
fields.
During the next fortnight, accord¬
ing to the most expert opinion that
is obtainable, the cotton boll weevil
will lay the foundation for its great¬
est mischief to the 1925 crop—unless
its depredations are checked by a
vigorous poison offensive.
For there seems to be not the
slightest doubt that for every one of
the early cotton squares appearing
in infested fields, a female weevil will j
be waiting—waiting to lay an egg. If
she is not killed before her eggs are j
laid (and she will lay many if not
interfered with), her numerous pro
geny will be swarming out in an as
tonishingly short time, and the wee
vils instead of the farmer will get
the cotton crop.
If poisoning is effectively done
•during the next fortnight, the boll
weevil menace will.pass, but at least
one thoroughly effective poisoning is
■essential to success. Prudent farmers
will poison their fields at least three
times, Approximately a week apart, in
order to make assurance doubly sure,
The battle with the boll weevil will
be won or lost during the next two
weeks, and the farmer who is in doubt
will do well to get in touch with his

It is of vital importance that
people of Georgia, including those
Peach county and Fort Valley,
nize the menace which is pictured in
the following editorial from the
lumbus Kriquirer-Suri:
Vital statistics of the United
health bureau show Georgia’s
record to be little, if anything,
than a crime. Before the recent
ing of the Georgia Manufacturers
sociation Ur. John W. Daniel, of
vannah, made the statement that
though the population of Georgia
only one-fortieth of the population

one-tenth of the total cases

Constitution editorially, “is almost
believable, and yet he spoke the
as proved by the vital statistics
pared by the federal health bureau "
The main reason why this
is almost unbelievable is because
phoid fever is a preventable
and therefore its presence is
able, almost a crime. The
tion continues:
U Not only is this true, but it is a
fact that Georgia’s man power

laria, dengue, hookworm, and
diseases that are largely
The Constitution points out
Georgia is toduy in an acid test
petition with her sister states;
she has the resources, climate, soil,
opportunity—everything and declares that that “yet nature
provides her with
an impaired man power handicap
is difficult to overcome,” continuing:
Why is this handicap? Because
the state has treated her public health
work with inexcusable
She has appropriated 3 cents per
capita for this great agency of rnan

compared to from 6 cents to 15 cents

drainage, screening, cleanliness, hy¬
giene, all combine to relieve localities
of typhoid germ infestation, but Geor¬
gia pays but little or scant govern¬
mental attention to such, although the
the importance is imperative, and
neglect is almost criminal.
“Malaria costs Georgia in loss of
human energy more than a million
dollars a year, and malaria is easily
and inexpensively preventable. handi¬ The

Rockefeller foundation spent a great
deal of money in Georgia health con¬
servation. The federal bureau has en¬
deavored to offer substantial aid. The
lack of funds in Georgia tor agencies proper

withdraw in disgust from the state.
It is nothing short of a shame.
“The state health authorities have
done well—better than could be even
hoped with their resources, but they
cannot do the job without the money
to do it with.”
The Constitution adds that the
coming legislature owes it to Geor¬
gians to remedy this inexcusable situ¬
ation,” and in this every thinking per¬
son will concur, but the question
arises as to how will the legislature
be able to do it. Funds are not avail¬
able for the purpose, even as they
are not available for many other
needful purposes in the state, and
still there is a shortage of funds to
carry on the work of the state's va¬
rious necessary institutions. We
know that something should be

it can be done. There’s the rub.

the question is, How can the state get

While we are advising the
ture as to what should be done by
it might be helpful to that body it
would, at least once in a while,
a practical suggestion as to how it can
be done. We have no well formulated
plan to present to the legislature, but
we are convinced that some plan additional
be deyised for raising
funds without increasing the burden
of taxation which is now as heavy as
the people can stand.
So far as the city of Columbus is
concerned in the-matter of typhoid
and malaria our people feel no
prehension from either disease. The
record in this city so far this year
shows that there have been only two
cases of typhoid fever, and no mala¬
rial cases have been reported. And
for a city of more than forty thou¬
sand this record is good.
But we are interested in Georgia as
a whole, and we should be glad to
contribute something toward making
the state’s record as good as that of
Columbus. It is a work in which the
people of the entire state must en

Mr. J. J. Bowman
On the night of May 22nd the
spirit of Mr. J. J. Bowman went back
to God who gave it.
Uncle Jeff, as he was known
among his neighbors and friends, had
been a suffer for a long time and
only those who were around him
knew what his suffering was. But hi
bore his afflictions with the patience
that only those can who have a
Sweet Hope and Promise of a better
home not made with Hands.
He joined the Methodist church
over fifty years ago and it was al¬
ways a joy and pleasure to attend
his church as long as his health was
so he could and in his last days there
was always a smile and pleasant
feeling when ever his pastor would
visit him.
Now to his dear children we can
only say Papa has gone to join your
Sainted Mother and Dear Genie. May
you all live like they did and some
day be a united family around the
Throne of God.
He leaves to mourn his loss the fol¬
lowing children: J. A. Bowman, of
Macon, Henry, Ben, Ed, and Gid, of
Fort Valley, Mrs. Addie Ross of Mu
sella, Mrs. Maggie Dunlap, of At¬
