o
Tin- Early County Club’s hatchery
is still “playing” to capacity busi
ness.
It tvas a splendid vitory for pro
gressive Democracy which Georgia
scored in its primary yesterday.

There has been no shortage of
rain in Southwest Georgia during the
first three months of the year 1921.
WHY SENATOR HARRIS IS NOT
SUPPORTING THE MELLON
TAX PLAN
Senator Harris, of Georgia, says he
has rereived hundred of letters urg
ing hitn to support, the Mellon tax
plan, but he doubts if many of the
writers have had an opportunity to
make a careful comparison of this
plan with the Democratic plan. Few
probably realize that in Georgia there
are only 48 people, most of them
millionaires, who would be benefltted
more by the Mellon plan than by the
Democratic plan, while 07,071 would
be benefltted more by the Democratic
plan. He is supporting tax reduction
legislation, but says he is unable to
agree with Secretary Mellon that in
come taxes of the wealthy should be
reduced more in proportion than on
small incomes. The Mellon plan
saves millions for millionaires, while
Senator Harris favors reductions for
millions of hard working people with
small incomes. The proposition to
reduce the taxes on “earned” incomes,
that is, incomes derived from wages,
salaries and professional services as
well as incomes of farmers and mer
chants, will soon become a law. It
was advocated first by Senator Har
ris in the Senate more than two
years ago, but was voted down by
the Republicans. Secretary Mellon
opopsed it then, but now sees the
justice of the plan.
o
McADOO’S VICTORY.
The News rejoices that Georgia
Democrats endorsed William G. Me-
Adoo in preference to Oscar W.
Underwood in the presidential pri
mary yesterday. Mr. Me Adoo, a na
tive Georgian, has demonstrated his
ability, first in New York engineering
work, later as secretary of the treas
ury and director general of the
railroads, and in his profession fol
lowing his resignation from Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet. He is clean
and clear-cut. and has challenged his
foes to prove one thing dishonorable
in iiis entire career, and the verdict
of the people at the polls yesterday
is the answer to his challenge. Such
pity that some of the State’s sui>-
nosed-to-be leading journalists could
not bo big enough to rise above a
campaign of calumny and prejudice.
Should this distinguished Georgian
receive the Democratic nomination,
it is hoped that some of these news
papers will refrain from supporting
him in the general election as a
matter of common decency. It is;
not now believed that Senator Under i
considered seriously, for it is a fore
gone conclusion that without the
support of the entire South he had
no chance for the nomination, and
the Georgia defeat has greatly de
flated his boom.
MY. McAdoo is now the leading
candidate for the nomination, and it
is a foregone conclusion that he will
control the convention in June.
AN OLD-FASHIONED SUNDAY.
|
Under the above heading the Moul
trie Observer “preaches’’ the follow
ing little “sermon:”
Remember Sunday morning not so
many years ago? Remember how the
church bells were ringing as you
put the last touches on your Sun
day shoe shine before reporting to
your mother for a final inspection?
Down the street then, between your
father and her, nodding to friends
and neighbors all bound on the same
errand. Wliat a wholesome spirit of
unaffected Christian kindliness was
abroad that day!
Then the old familiar hymns, In
which all the congregation joined so
lustily , heartfelt prayers and the
prayers and the readings from the
Bible. Perhaps the sermon seemed
dull, perhaps the whole day appear
ed dull to you in contrast with the
joyous freedom of Saturday—but what
wouldn’t you give now to have such
days back again, lo sit once more
between your father and mother in
the old church where they worshiped
God wdth such simple faith?
Since those days you may have
drifted far from the church. In the
ceaseless rush of modern life you
may have given up the habit of reg
ular church-going. Perhaps yon are
not even giving your children that
Christian environment which belongs
by right to every American boy or
girl. But have you ever stopped to
think what you are missing, what
you are forcing your children to
miss, by such a course?
To that Christian atmosphere and
environment you owe most of the
good in your own character. To it,
also, is due in large measure the
present greatness of America, for
the ideals and aspirations that have
led “our country forward are funda
mentally Christian.
Why not make next Sunday an
old-fashioned Sunday by going to
your church —for ‘your church’ means
every church in this city! Every
one of them opens its doors to you
with Christian hospitality. Give the
time honored service an opportunity
to re-awaken within you the spirit
of peace, friendliness and self-sacrifice
of an old-fashioned Sunday. Ob
serve the I.ord’s day as your father
and forefathers observed it before
you.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS
CARE NECESSARY IN
TREATMENT «F MEASLES
There seems to be a pretty gen
eral epidemic of measles prevailing;
it is distributed very generally ovei
the State.
The measles bug, or whatever it is.
bas not been “isolated” as the doc
tors call it, therefore no remedy can
be offered as a cure, nor can a vac
cine be prepared to prevent one’s con
trading It as has been done with
diphtheria, smallpox, typhoid and the
like. Until the laboratory worker
finds the germ and is able to grow
it, he cannot make a vaccine.
There are two distinct types ol
measles, Red Measles and German
Measles; the Red is much more
serious In all of its symptoms. It is
self-limited and we have no specific
remedy to cut short the attack or to
abort it. The individual coming down
with measles has several days of 111
ness more or less marked before the
eruption appears. In the very early
stages it is not likely contagious ex
cept from very close contact. If there
fore during an epidemic all children
are watched closely a spread of meas
les In a school can be avoided. The
first rash, If It can be so called,
appears in the mouth and back, on the
palette and the tonsils. If all the
children were examined by the teach
ers each morning for the "breaking
out” In the mouth and the child im
mediately sent home when suspected,
measles would not seriously inter
fere with the schools, provided, of
course, that the parents would do
their part. The early symptoms and
fever last for about four days, when
the temperature generally reaches
108 or 104. About this time the rash
Is out and the fever begins to subside;
often this occurs rather suddenly.
The disease usually runs its course
without complications, and In three or
four days from the height of the erup
tlon the patient is normal. The in
fectlng agent is supjiosed to be thrown
off from the body in the secretions,
especially the nose and mouth, and
If these are properly taken care of ft
Is not likely that one will catch
measleß from an individual. The ex
act time of infeetivity cannot be defi
nitely fixed; it is not likely to extend
over six or eight days.
The two most serious complica
tions of measles are pneumonia and
diarrhoea. No one should think ol
trying to go through a case of meas
les without the advice of a reputable
physician; he should be called early
to be sure as to the disease, and then
he should stay in touch with the case
until it is out of danger and the
terminal clean-up is had.
All eating and drinking vessels
should be kept separate and all cloths
used about the mouth and nose burn
ed. Cheap paper napkins can be used
for the nose and mouth and then Im
mediately burned.
There Is no need of fumigation; a
thorough cleaning of the room, sun
ning of beds, pillows and bed clothes,
with boiling of sheets pillow cases
and clothing, is all that Is necessary.
The very best of care and close atten
tion should be given to each case, it
matters not how mild. Everyone
should do his part to prevent the
spread of measles.

Don’t Risk Neglect
Don't neglect a constant backache,
sharp,-darting pains or urinary dis
orders. The danger of dropsy or
Bright’s disease is too serious to ig
nore. Use Doan's Pills as have your
friends and neighbors. A Blakely
case:
R. E. Allen, dray ing business, Riv
er street, says: “I had the measles
and it left my kidneys weak. 1 had
no control over the action of my
kidneys and the secretions were scan
ty, off color and contained a white,
stringy substance. They also irritated
in passage. My back was so lame
and weak-1 couldn’t stand very long
and I had shap pains in the center
of my back. I could hardly straight
en after stooping, the pains became
so intense. I read a Doan’s Directory
and decided to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me entirely and
I have had no need for a kidney
remedy since.”
Price, 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills —the same that Mr.
Allen had. Foster-Mllburn Co.. Mfrs.,
