East Macon, Ga , Feb 8,1882.
Mr, Editor:
Dhl you see by
our paper what u bravo deed was
done in Macon a few days ago? It
was done by the Bibb co. Commis
sioners. They went for the liquor
license, I tell you they aro brave
men. Just think of five or six men
coming out iu the face of, such a
country as this where w9 count our
Christians and money by the mil
lions. Churches and high schools
dotted about all over the country,
and colleges in all of our cities,
where wo boust of our high state ol
cultivation with our go d morals!
and our temperauce women by the
thousands. In this grand republic
the best country iu all the world, I
tell you it takes brave men to come
out and say, (after all power is vest
ed in us by tho government) Stop
this evil. Yes sir it takes grit for
men who are backed by such a grand
old state as Georgia, to say to a few
Godless black legs who have lost
all respect for themselves and their
uoighboru, ‘No longer deal out this
evil to our children.’ I tell you sir
our good men are brave. Would
you liko to havo tbeir Autographs?
Hut why should wo look at it this
way? Why should we fear? I do
not seo any thing. But there must
be a ‘Lion on tho way.’ It must be
theyelliug Arabs on our streets and
cross roads places. But Burely it
cannot be that, ft cannot be the
women, for the women are
on our side. We can raise at once
the grandest army that the world
ever saw composed of women of the
purest and brightest and they have
some brass and any quantity of steel.
This is enough to whip a world
of whisky men if properly used.—
So where is the trouble, I tell you
I think it must be used by our sweet,
good, whisky drinking politicians
and office-seekers. And men who
have power are afraid to use that
power because they may be eased
down. But this is very ugly. It re

It is said that Small Pok is now
raging in about half tho states in the
Union, and while we are greatly
blessed in not having it in our state
as yet; it behooves us to ‘‘ptepare
for war in time of peace,” and use
the best and only known means of
prevention.
We tiud tin following vory sensi
ble article in tho lost Suuday’s Con
stitution, evidently written by n clov
er headed physician and we gladly
give room to the following extract
which will give much information
not heretofore accessible to the pub-,
lie, and do much toward putting our
people on their guard :
Many will donbtlo&s be startled at
our statement that this disease is
incomparably and by far tbe gn at
est scourge ever inflicted by the prov
idence of Go l on tho human race.
But if they woro acquainted with
tho his ory of its ravages, they
would not regard our strong expres
sion as at all exaggerated.
Tho disease is one of tho mo t ag
onizing, and ono of tho most fatal,
that flesh is heir to. In its violent
term, tho whole body, from the
crown of the head to tho solos o/
tho feet, is covered with oozing sores
enoli ono of whioh is a source of
lancinating pain: sometimes these
sores become conflueut, and then tbe
wholo body becomes one hug ' soio
- ono shocking muss of rottenness
and horror. The innei surface of
tbe body, no less tbau the outer, al e
covered with these ulcers so that to
swallow at all is liko swallowing
scalding water; and perpetual swal
lowing follows tho expectoration
which is needed to prevent suffoca
tion floui accumulating exoieta; fre
quently blood exudes from the mu
cous membranes of the mouth, uose,
ears, eye , and bowels. The oJor of
tho body is offensive beyond expros
siou, and the filth from t e dischar
ging sores is horrible. The o es aro
closed, tho head'is frightfully swell
ed, and so indeed is tlio whole body,
anJ, during part of tbe time, fever
with all its concomitant distress ra
ges. Delirium sets in, and the suf
ferer lingors until death ends tho
scene. True, every caso is not
markod by symptoms so unuttera
bly dreadful as those which we have
attempted to describ ; many die be
fore the disease has reuohed these
superlative stages; tome die speedi
ly from complication with other dis
eases; and many having the disouse
in a milder form recover; but every
one who is wbollyuuprotected by vac
cination, and who bus the disease, is
liable to all that we have tried to set
forth, and if possible to more; for it
is impossible for language to exag
gerate the anguish, the loatbs >me-
ness and the terror, of this fearful
scourge. If anv one thiuks that we
have overstated the case, ho can
easily correct his misapprcliension
by reading the standard medical
books. We have spoken only of the
worst cases ; in its less malignant
types the disease falls far short of
what lias been said, but in its most
benignaut form, if wholly uncheck
ed, it is still one of tbe most distres
sing maladies known to mankind.
It is one of the most communica
ble of all disoases, being both con
tagious and infectious; that is, it
may be communicated by tonoliing
a person who bos it, or by touching
a garment that he has worn, or an
article that he has handled, or it may
be carried in the air, and thus com
municated to a person who never
saw, nor ever came very near to one
afflicted with it. It may eomo from
huEjdliug paper money; it may be
brought by mail iff a- newspaper or
letter, or in a package by express; it
may be caught from a fellow travel
er ou the railroad, or from a passer
by in tbe street, or^ from the casual
visit of a
mountain tops, and it breaks out in
mid-ocean; it has no favorite local-
itios; the wnolo earth is it* homo.
Its most frightfnl slaughter was in
tho 17th and 18th centarie* But
iu those days there were no railroads,
and no steam, and bnt little oom-
meree, no express companies, and
but little mail matter, and verv little
travel iu any way. Iu those days of
ceaseless interoourso and perpetual
running to and fro, if the disease
wore unchecked as it was then, i's
ravages’would probably soon depop-
ulate tho whole oivili».-d world; nnd
perhaps this proposition wpuhl re
main true, if the word oivili»>d were
stricken out, for it is a well estab
lished fact that tbe dark skinned
racos are much more snsoeptiblo of
it than the whites, and are also
likely to die from its effects.
It may be asked, if this disease is
so easily communicated, why is it
that it lias not long since swept the
population from the earth? Tho
answer to this question is ready:
is because it has beeu checked, by
most wondertul preventive which
has been vouchsafed to us iu the
providence of God. While on the
ono hand it is the most terrific of
all epidemic diseases, far more dead
ly than the yellow fever, and far
moro dreadful than the horrible
plague oi London, on the other
uan<I, there is no disease which can
bo so easily and so certainly pre
vented. lho most astounding dis
covery of modern times, and the
most beneficial of all tiqse, a as the
discovery of the prophylactic pow
er of vaccination; and the greatest
human benefactor, immeasurably the
grentpst, who ever bia sed tbe hu
man race, was Edward Jeuuer, who
discovered it. Did anv other man
ver save the lives of his feilow-tnon
by millions, and by millions upon
millions? Borne may questiou that
Jenner lias done this? Let him read
the literature on the subject, and he
will question no more.
Now it will be in order to ask
some practical questions.
1. Does vncoiuation protect? Not
absointol} ; nor does small-pox itself,
for cases have ooourred where tlio
same person has had the disease
twico, but these cases are exceeding
ly rare. So it is with vaccination;
wlmn it is complete nnd perfeot the
risk is almost infinitesimal. But
vaccination may be complete or it
earth he wout about daiug good.
may bo partial; and when (initial the
thus impe’fectly vaccinated
purspu
is liable, (though in less
than if hu were not vaccinated at
all) to the disease; but in such ca
ses the disease is always modified in
proportion to the completeness of
tho vaccination. A simple illnstra
tiou will make it plain, one may be
vacciuated to the extent of let us
say, ninety cents in the dollar. If
so ho is by no means very liable to
take tho disease, still he might take
it, and if he should, he would have
it in milder form—a mere varioloid,
accompanied with but little suffer
ing. Ho might be vaccinated to tho
extent of fifty tents in the dollar; if
so, his liability to the disease woald
be c&rrospoudiugly greater, and he
might experience a severe attack,
Imt it would probably not be mortul.
He might be vaccinated to the ex.
o bodies of men, no less than
their souls, woro the objects of his
benefaction, tic wbo wa< louoliud
with the feoliug of all our infirmities
had i ompassioo ou the sick, and
multitudes were healed by his tonch,
of alltuanucrof diseases. His gra
cious example, in alleviating hninan
suffering, should be for our humble
imitation. If, in His merciful prov
idence, we have been led to discov
or huw to forefeud by far the most
awful of all epidemics, ho surely is
doing n Christ-like work who spreads
tlio information. Actuated as we
trust by this spirit, having no mo
tivos but those of pure benevolence,
and fully informed ns to tho facta we
have stated, wo oonsecruto this ar
ticle, prayerfully and lovingly, to the
welfnro of our readers.

might he vaccinated to the ex
tent of ten cents in tbe dollar, and
if so, his vaccination would afford
but little protection; still, if he should
have the dis use, its virulence would
bo somewhat abated, and bia pros
pect of recovery would be better
than if he had not been vacciuated
at all. Thus a little ia good; more
is bettor; and complete vaccination
is complete protection.
2. How are we to know when it is
complete? The best way to settle
this questiou is to exhibit the sour
to an experienced physician, and
ask his opinion; and to cover acci
dent, it is prudent t- > be vaccinated
every few years, and always when
the disease is prevalent.
3. How long does its protective
power last? No definite answer can
bo given to this question. Some
times it seems to nave maintained
its strength for fifty years or more,
and sometimes to be exhausted in a
vory fow years. No one can possi
bly know, in his own case, to what
exteut be is piotected. The only
safety is iu vaccination repeated at
intervals. If it does not “take” no
harm is done; if it does, insurance po
is renewed. One thing ia certain—Jui
