MUZZLE DOGS
TO CHECK THE
Dr. Harris, of State Board
of Health, so Urges
LARGE INCREASE IX XUMREB OK
CASK OF HYimOI’HOUIA
TIKXTrt UNDER TIIEATMENT
THE FAST YEAR.
(From Friday** Diily.)
A* a result at the alarming In
crease In the number of cases of
hydrophobia treated by tho Pasteur,
department of the state board of
health in 1911, Dr. Roy Harris, tho
e cretary, advocate® 'h® enactment
o? a muzzling jaw in hie annual re
port, Just aubraHted to Governor
Prows.
During the past year 457 human
brings and 2* animals were treated
l»v the department, and two deaths
* rre reported from tablet. In 1910
the to’Al number of cases treated to
taled 462, showing an Increase last
jc-sr. Dr. Harris says:
“I would particularly urge tha*.
some action be taken toward the
rctment of a law compelling
nuzzling of dogs. As the disease
(rabies) appears to bo on the
rrease, the time Is no*, far distant
hrn w® will have to Increase cur
facilities for giving the Pasteur
treatment If something Is not done
to prevent th® Increase of hydropho
be among dogs, and the experience
rf other countrle® clearly shows that
this can only b® don® in the way
ruggeated.**
It la understood that some effort
may be mad® at the coming session
f the legislature to paes a muzzling
lew for Georgia. However, It Is cer
tain that such a hill would meet
with strong opposition.
Dr. Hands also urges tile enact
ment of a tftynif Itw nuking It 111*-
1 or decayed cpra tnty
this stated as the Increase In pella
gra throughout Georgia makes It
necessary tpat some preeantlonarv
methods be *ak*n. It Is evident
that Dr. Harris believes much of the
pellagra la caused by eating rotten
corn, and he aska especially that
the board of health can arrangx to
make proper testa | n l!a laboratory
nnd would co-operate In every way
*c keep the had corn ont.
The report shows also that early
In 1911 smallpox waa general all
over the state, although not of
v.rulen* type. The cates of dlpthe-
rla were not so numerous for 1911
During the year the health depart
ment mad®34twa*er analysis,a gain
of 16S over 1910. Ten mnnlclpal
r.nterwortca and water supplies were
examined last year. This feature
Is one of the greatest value to the
people of the state, since It shoe
nny contamination and how to cor
rect it when found.
The report shown that the de
partment has a deficit In hill* due
of 69,086.77 for the year. One
thing which affords Dr. Harris pleas
ure I* the growing popularity of the
department, and the wider knowl
edge and appreciation of tho work
for the health nnd goneral welfare
ef the state on th® part of the p«o-
pv generally.
Lamp That

The Rayo Lamp is an insurance
against eye troubles, alike for young

The Rayo is a low-priced lamp, but it is constructed on the soundest
scientific principles, and there is not a better lamp made at any price.
It is easy on the eye because its light is so soft and white and

A PLEA FOB THE COMPANY.
Officer* of Vldettea Address Strong
Letter to Member*.
Capt. A, Wln n Lieut, A A.
Parrish have written a Joint letter
to the membera of the Valdosta VI-
deite* urging their loyal support of
th© company In the present crisis.
Unless tho membera and the citizens
rally to the company It blda fair to
go out of existence. The following
Is the letter:
Valdosta Vldetteajl
If we should permit our company
to be mustered out, It would
only be a reflection upon the offi
cers, but also every man in the com
pany, for the company can be no
stronger than the Individual! com
posing It. In case the company
should be mustered out It would be
impossible, for many years to com*\
foi our city to have a military or
ganization. Therefor®, with this
condition in view, we, aa the com
missioned officers of th® comnnny,
have decided to do all In our power
to nave the company from bolnir dis
banded, and It will be Impossible for
im to do anything at all without the
hearty co-^perat|on and sujfro# of
every member.
We have delayed making this
move on account of our very poor
support In (he past except by a very
few men. thinking that some others
would take up the cause of military
In our city and would have better
success than ourselves, and. If the
company gets on Its feet, we will re
sign, thereby allowing you to place
In command whoever you desire.
We will have a meeting Friday
night at 8 o’clock and every night
thereafter until Inspection, which I*
only a short time off If you have
any desire to have the company con
tinue we will expect you to be prea-
ent ready to co-operate with us

A Remarkable Farmer.
Wf» heard a report on the streets
today of n farmer In Lowndes coun
ty who probably has the most re
markable reputation of any man In
Georgia. Tho man In question Is
Mr. David Newsome, fifty-two year*
old, and one of tho best fnrmera In
the Clyattvllle district.
He bears the distinction of hav
ing never bought an article

credit. He pnys cash for everything
h© gets and pay* for Ills guano an
soon ns It Is delivered to him.
He not only doe® not buy anything
on a credit, but he has money In
the bank and haa never drawn a
check o n the bank In his life nnd ba§
never drawn a cent out of the bank
except the Interest which 1* paid on
hla deposits.
If there Is any county In Georgia
who haa a farmer who cornea near

man we would like to see him.

E
LOOK THAT
BELIED THEM
Appearance of two Road
sters Indicated Collision
AN INVESTIGATION, HOWEVER,
8HOWED JJ^IAT THE TWO RIG
MACHINES HAD MERELY SUF-
FKKED 3USHAPS.
(From- Friday’s Dally.)
This morning at the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad two
of the biggest engines on th© line
were hooked up to each other, one
of them polling the other one to
th© machine shop for repairs. One
of them wa# a passenger engine
No. 301, and -the other was a freight
engine, No. 401.
The passenger engine had the
cow catcher smashed off and was
going to the shop for repairs. The
freight engine had the side valve
gear broken off and It was also go
Ing in for repair*.
A reporter of The Times
two /engine*^hooked up together
and began inquiring about the cause
ofthe damage. One man declared
that they were In a collision, that
the passengers engine had its *o
catcher knocked off and the Other
one had the side gear ripped oil
He admitted that he did not know
how the collision occurred nor how
It happened that the sld© of one of
th© engine was ripped off while only
th© cow catcher of the other one was
hurt.
The case looked eo mysterious
and full of human interest that the
reporten continued to make Inquiry
about tbd accident. The next man he
saw waa a railroad roan, who do
dared that one of t ha engines “aide-
wiped” th® oth®r, knocking off the
aide running gofcr of oJje and smash
Ing off the^ow catcher' of tl)e oth3r.
Thto btty,* not explaightow it hap
pened that the aide of the other en
gine waa not also Injuied, so further
Inquiries were made. Nearly every
person that wa® eeen declared that
collision had occurred. Non© of
them saw the collision and non© of
them kBew where It occurred, ibut
one man was sure that It happened
In tb© ylrds, aa h© saw a flat car
hauling th© cow catcher off to the
shop a few minutes before that.
rf® was-no <}oubt In th© minds of
any of the men Just how the acci
dent happened, hut It waa all eo
flahy” that the reporter continued
his Investigation.
H© finally*came upon an enginee
who had an oil can In his hand and
had apparently dlsmouted from one
of th© engines. He was asked how
the collision occurred and h© prompt
ly replied that there had been no
collision. Th© paaspnger engine broke
its cow catcher at Jacksonville yes-
terdny an,j finished It up. on th© way
to the city last night by striking a
crossing which was too high for the
pilot to get over It all right.
The freight engine had Jta valvo
gear broken at Hahlrag yesterday af
ternoon while In motion, the acci
dent being one that Is liable to hap
pen nt nny time.
The two engines happened to ho
In the yarJs here together nnd the
passenger engine, which was fired
up and in running order, was coup
led on to the other for the purpose
of pulling it to the machine shop.
Of course, all of the people who
told thp reporter about the collision
were basing what they said upon the
appearance* of the twp engines. If
the reporter had published what the
first one told him he would have
printed a story such aa sometime
gets in print without any bad Inten-
telon on th © paper man’s part.

The opportunity which la being
given th© farmers of Lowndes coun
ty by th© institute which Is being
held here is an opportunity which
the* cannot afford to ignore. Tne lec
turer have hern illustrated so aa to
make everything perfectly plain.
This morning th© lecture by Dr.
T. H. McIIatton on Plant Physiolo
gy was one of the good feature® of,
the Institute. It wa® followed by a
lecture on Feed® and Feeding by
Prof. J. L. Bishop, which was also
full of interest ,
Thl* afternoon at 1:15 o’clock
Prof. J. E. Turlington delivered his
lecture on Crop Cultivation,
which ho showed how to use various
kinds of fertilizer® on various crop.s
and to ‘bring about given results.
After bis lecture came one on
Spraying and Pruning, and Dairying
demonstrations nt tho demonstra
tion car, which wns open to th© pub
lic.
The lecture last night on Land
scape Gardening by Pt*of. McIIatton
was attended by only a small audi
ence, but all of those who were pres
ent were very highly ^ntertalnod by
the interesting talk and by th© pic
tures which Illustrated the different
kinds of work.
There were probably 100 pictures
showing landscape work. Every con
ceivable kind of work was presented
to view and every picture waa criti
cised, showing what It lacked,or in
what It excelled.
Th© speaker showed how different
flowers ought to be planted to bring
about the best view. He allowed how
the trees ought to b© trimmed, how
th© walk® ought to be laid off, how
the grass ought to (be planted and at
wh&t points on the lawn and yards
the different flowers and th© differ
ent shrub* ought to be placed.
