; We hear much talk about how much
[cotton should be planted and how much
| will be planted. All agree as to the
i first proposition, but many say they
I have no idea how much will be planted.
' All admit that the low price, and the
large amount of the crop that is still
ion hand should cause men to stop and
[think. And high price of fertilizers,
' scarcity of labor and high wages are
j worthy of much and serious thoughts,
'in determining what should be done, we
do not hear much said about the boll
j weevil. We think that one of the se
rious propositions and it alone should
cause less cotton to be planted.

SMALLPOX AAAXINS ROUNDS
IN TRE STATE OF GEORGIA
BOARD OF HEALTH ISSUES WARN
ING TO PEOPLE TO PREVENT
SPREAD OF DISEASE
Small-pox is widely distributed in
Georgia, as is shown by reports made
by physicians under the law to the
State Board of Health—-Division of
Epidemiology. Within the last two
months no less than thirty-eight com
munities and cities have been visited
by this highly contagious and danger
ous disease, and some of the cases have
been of a very malignant typo. At the
present time there are hundreds of
cases in the state, and recently one
small town reported nearly fifty cases
as occurring within the past few weeks.
There is but one reason for the wide
spread of small pox, and that is neglect.
The prevention of smallpox is probab
ly the safest and most certain preven
tive measure known to public health
and medicine at this time. Universal
vaccination is so well established and
has been for so many years that it al
most seems unnecessary to advise it
again, yet are many thousands of peo
ple in Georgia who are not vaccinated
and who are being exposed to smallpox,
possibly without their own knowledge,
and who are thus risking health and
perhaps life.
Modern methods of making vaccine
are so carefully guarded ns to make
almost impossible the distribution of
any which is not absolutely safe: in
fact any really severe consequences
from vaccination, except as a result
of carelessness in vaccinating or in
protecting the vaccination, are practi
cally unknown.
The XT. R. Public Health Service must
license every firm manufacturing small
pox vaccine before its product can l.e
sold. The inspection and control of
the vaccine-producing plants guarantee
that the vaccine is perfectly safe.
Every man in the millions of soldiers
and sailors of the United States was
vaccinated before entering the service.
Asa result there was no smallpox in
the army or navy, and no bad results
of any kind on account of vaccination.
What stronger argument is needed?
The only people who remain unvac
cinated are either those who do not yet
know its advantages or those who in
sist on living their lives according to
the ideas of past centuries.

Tin* big piles of cotton in the towns
and on hundreds of forms, thousands
of seed that can’t In* sold should cause
a cut in cotton planting.
Once a lady from Wadley was in a
party that went over the oil mill plant
of tin* Abbot Mfir. Cos.. She lost a
beautiful and much prized College So
ciety badge. Alfred Jenkins had it
published in the paper. There are few
Alfreds, and he is dead.
The beautiful sunny weather con
tinues and the farmers are certainly
pushing their work.
Every farmer has a smile on his
face when you refer to the dry weath
er and a chance to stir the earth.
When milch cows command sl7;"> spot
cash its time to cease racking your
brains about cotton, fertilizer prices,
embargos, boll weevils and such like

Mr,. Allen Ponder of Bartow sold a
milch cow recently for $175, and he
was not anxious to take that price
either.

Mr. W. S. Cannon, (if Augusta, was

that the roads in his immediate sec

The plans to put on a county fair

will so help out the county. And this
is true of our farming interests.
When you sit down to decide wheth

not forget that the boll weevil may
