Improvement With
Progress
The radio hns brought about
changes in old customs, as well ns
furnish entertainment to
millions of people in their homes. It
lias even changed, or rather given new
ideas, for newspaper headlines. There
was a time when country newspapers
were content to head their county cor¬
respondent’s news letters with such
captions as “Janesville News Notes, • •
■etc. The Fort Valley Leader-Tribune
carries one now reading, “Listening
in on Marshallville.”—Macon News.
The significance is clear. The radio
is no more an improvement upon old
methods of communication than our
Marshallville and other correspond¬
ents and their news letters each week
avre a mark of improved efficiency in
county and community’ news service.
Our correspondents in Byron, Mar
fehallvillc, Clopine and on the rural
routes whose news letters appeal*
from time to time are doing great
-work for the improvement and prog
Tess of their communities as well as
the whole section. They create more
interest among their own people in
community affairs and in one an

From which to view life’s sea,
And listen to the tender call
Of souls long since made free.

fiod’s New Year Ship has windows
high
Through which the glories shine
Of that fair City in the sky
Whose Maker is Divine.
4
And through whose windows we may
look,
And listen, too, and hear
The songs recorded in the Book,
And feel the Christ is near.

Come, get aboard God’s New Year
Ship!
The Savior’s calling you; '
He guarantees ’twill make the trip;
No other ship will do.

GEORGIA REAL ESTATE
Therc is scarcely a day now that press dispatches do not announce some
large real estate sale in Georgia to Florida developers. One such sale has
just been announced from Cartersvilie. Another near Albany. Another near
Brunswick,
This illustrates first that the forecast as to 1926 being a year of spirited
realty transactions is not confining those prospects to any one section of the
state; and, second, that operators who have been interested in the unprecedent
c< * Florida development see in Georgia a forthcoming field for successful de
velopments.
I | ‘J U8t as the Florida properity was not, and is not, confined to any X one sec
tion, just so every section of Georgia is having its especial appeal. , One group
,
j of syndicate may be attracted to the great recreational possibilities of the
j mountains, or the fruit-growing possibilities of the foothills. Another may be
attracted by the possibilities of the peach belt, or the pecan belt, and so on.
The fact is-—and it is worthy of comment—lands are being purchased al¬
most daily in all sections of Georgia, both for exploitation and for occupation.
The result is, prices are rapidly advancing, and the climb has not begun to
Hath the peak.
,
It is not probable that Georgia is in the path of any inflation excitement
or speculative boom. It doesn’t seek any condition that is not entirely sane
and sound.
It is, without possibility of challenge, however, at the threshold of a new
era of real estate activity.
- The reason is not alone that Georgia is unsurpassed in her agricultural
opportunities, but the lands for subdivision and similar developments are
usually purchased just ahead of established lines where progress in certain
to travel. That is a fundamental rule in the acquiring of wholesale lands for
future retail purposes.
The investors who are coming into Georgia today and purchasing lands
a t low values are doing so in the earnest belief that the people of Georgia
urv determined to put this state in the same column of progressiveness in
which North Carolina and Florida and other enterprising states find them
| selves. They are anticipating the good judgment of Georgians.
If the spirit of the day means anything—and it does—they are not ealeu
j lating without reason. The people of this state know that Georgia has every
natural advantage possessed by any state, and more than many, and are de
termined to institute a program of progressive activites that will do justice
to all the people, and to all the sections.—Atlanta Constitution,
columns of The Leader-Tribune had a
large part in the program to make of
this section a happier and more glori¬
ous part of the Southland. The Lead
er-Tribune deeply appreciates, and
we are sure our readers appreciate
very heartily, the public service that
is being rendered in this way by these
correspondents in our flourishing
towns and communities around us.

Health Shows Big
Decrease of Malaria
Fleuroq recently released for pub
Ifeation by the Georgia State Board
of Health show a satisfactory reduc
tion of malaria in the State
ins? the limited mean* available
malaria control, These tlaureH show
‘
that in 1920 there were 559 deaths in
Georgia from malaria; in 1921, 409;
in 1922, 594; in 1922. 439, and In 1924,
438 . It. Is seen from these figures
that in the year 1921 there was a re¬
duction of 91 deaths, in 1922 an in¬
crease of 116. In 1923 a decrease of 95
and in 1924 a decrease of 51 In the
five-year period there was a total ot
2,538 deaths from malaria or practi
cally 1 death to every 1.140 people.
Taking this five-year period a very
satisfactory reduction is shown by a
decrease of 121 deaths in 1924 over
the year 1920. Observing these fU
uros further we find an annual death I
rate as follows: In 1920, 1 death to
5,180 Inhabitants; In 1921, 1 to 6,187;
in 1922, 1 to 4,958; in 1923, 1 to 5,921,
and in 1924, 1 to 6,612. This decrease
in the malaria death rate is consid
ered an indication of what could be
done in Georgia with additional per¬
sonnel for the State Board of Health.
Considering the fact that the per cap¬
ita appropriation for Georgia for pub¬
lic health is many times lower than
for any other southern state a mate¬
rial reduotlon can not be expected
until the number of field workers can
be increased over the present person¬
nel of one man.
Malaria is without doubt the most
serious of our public health prob¬
lems. It is directly and indirectly the
cause of the greatest amount of sick- j
ness In our malarious sections. It is
the cause of the greatest economic
lose because it affects to a serious
extent both our farm and Industrial
workers.
The State Board of Health is at the I
present time assisting, as far as pos¬
sible, cities, towns, communities and
Industries in the eradication of the
malaria mosquito and wherever this
work 1,1 b f lnB conducted a m ‘‘ t, ' rlal
reduction is noted in malaria . preva- r

state Board of Health has one
1
0 j (he equipped hygienic labora
tortes in the United States located in
the Capitol at Atlanta. It Is a most
interesting place. If you will call to
see them they will be glad to show
you around and tell you about germs
and bacilli They grow them and
from them make the vaccines that
cure our ills and keep us from being
sick, The physicians of the State use
this laboratory in making their diag¬
noses. They send thousands of speci¬
mens there to find out what they con¬
tain
The Laboratory furnishes to our doc¬
tors containers for collecting these
specimens. As soon as the specimens
arrive an expert takes them and gets
right to work hunting for what he
can find; it may be for hookworm
eggs The specimen may he a drop
of blood to be examined for malaria
or typhoid fever; it may he a swab
from a throat to see If it is diphtheria. !
Whatever it may be, it is given prompt,
efficient attention, and the physician
receives a report as quickly as possi¬
ble on the result It is all free; no
charge is made for this service.
Water supplies for municipalities
are looked after at least once a month,
and advice sent The containers for
this work are owned by the town or
city No examinations are made of
private water supplies; the appropria¬
tion is not sufficient for this purpose.
i The regular routine work is done
without charge for the people, and
physicians who use the State Board of
Health Laboratory do not have a labo
ratory expense. it is hoped that the
service can be enlarged and many oth- j
er examinations made, as for instance, !
cancer, Bright’s disease and the like,
which at present cannot be done for a
want of funds to employ the labor.
Is Your Well Or Spring Safe?
After rain we can naturally expect
our shallow veils and springs to be¬
come polluted and, in a measure, be¬
come dangerous. The surface wash¬
ings of human excrement are natural- I
ly carried into the streams from which )
we get our drinking water. The grad
iml filtration is slowly percolated into
the ground and washed along the sur
face until it reaches the lowest place.
and unless your well or spring is pro¬
tected from surface water, it is likely
to get into it. The only safe pro¬
tection is a sanitary privy. You
cannot contract typhoid without
contamination from a carrier of
the germs. A carrier is one who
has had typhoid and who has the
germs of typhoid in his system. Af¬
ter these germs remain for a long time
In an individual he will not have symp¬
toms. as he is immune, but he can
and does “give" tne fever to another.
A "carrier" is easily determined. The
State Board of Health is prepared to
make this test. It should be made on all
who have had t>’Phoid before they are
dismissed; in fact, some of the States
now require two negative tests before
one who has been "positive” is re¬
lea8ed from quaram ine It is a safe
and sane procedure.
