I don’t know whether I can write
a letter or not. I will try. The effort
will keep me from thinking about my
self. For a month I have be n playl g
“Billy In the low giounds,” but l had
a good doctor who hhs nursed me
night and day and cheered mo up and
comforted me end I am on the up
grade, though as the Georgia crackers
say “I am powerful weak.’.’ ; This doc*
tor Is my eon and he says, he has not
forgotten how his mother and I nursed
him for three long months in Florida
and saved his life ana now I shat * not
die If he -can help it. I take ail his
medicine, quinine, strychnine, calomel,
spirits of nitre, capsules -without num
ber, and tonics, too, and It I get well I
will never know what cured me, but
he will. What woulc, the world do
without -doctors? King Edward and I
would have died last week.
About twenty years ago I had a spell
like this one, for I had been working
. In the water all day tryl- g to dam up
the branch In the meadow «o that the
children could go in bathing, That
night 1 liked to have died, and old Dr.
Kirk was sent for and worked on me
for three-or four days and got me up
again. My wife told me then that It 1
didn’t be more careful' of myself I
wouldn’t live out half my days. She
told me the came thing the other day,
and she knows . Old Dr. Kirk is a.
trump. He was our family uoctor un
til, he got old and tiled and moved
away to live with his children. Be
fore he moved to this place from South
Carolina he had a love scrape over
there, and be had a rival, too, .and they
fell out. The girl wouldn't Lave either
.one of them and the other fellow heard
that the doctor had told stories on him
to the girl and so after the doctor lo
cated here his rival wrote to him and
' demanded a retrofit, -or else ;a fight.
The doctor wrote him a stinger and re
fused to make a retraxit, but would ac
cept his Challenge and fight him until
Hades froze over, and as the fighting
code gave the challenged party choice
of weapons and time and place and dis
tance be should Choose rifles at long
range and the next 29th day of Febru
ary as the time and the other, fellow
must stay Where "he was and Shoot over
this way and he (the doctor) would
stay here-and shoot over that way and
both must aim high so as not to hit
anybody between them.
But I must stop now and take
. bfeath. A good long breath is what I
want. The old woman was asked what
disease her husband died of and she
said the doctors differed about it, but
she always believed he died for lack
of breath. I don’t want to go that way.
I was ruminating about these physi
cians, fof doctor is not the proper
name. Doctor means a teacher of any
thing, whether it be science or art or
law or pharmacy or theology. -Physi
cian- Is the right word. It Is a very an-
''dent name for the professor. The
Bible tells how Joseph got the physi
cians to embalm his old father? hut 1
do not think It was a very popular pro
fession among the Jews, for It Is men
tioned only two or three times nnd
with doubtful favor. King Asa had a
disease In his feet and wonld not catl
upon the Lord for relief, hut sent for
a physician, and he died and slept with
his fathers. Then there was a woman
who had an Issue of blood for twelve
years and had suffered much from
many physicians and spent all she had
and was nothing better, but rather
grew worse. The JeWs unto this day
do not give mnch patronage to physi
cians or'quack medicines. I never
knew bnt one Jew doctor, though there
are a few very eminent ones In the
large cities, for whatever a learned
Jew does he does welt. There ts a doc
tor Jacobi in New York city who
stands at the head of the- profession
nnd Is consulted by the rich and great
men of the nation.
Now, let me stop for another good,
long .breath. When I wain n boy we
. didn't have but one doctor in the town,
and he weighed 300 pounds and was
never in a hurry. He left little babies
around ever and anon and when one
came to our bouse the old cook told us
where he got thorn and she ilylr point-
. ed to his corporosity. He had a little
office on the street and a few shelves
with bottles on them containing chlo-
student of Valentine Mott,' the gtesrt
New York'physician and surgeon. He
was as smart as his tutor and went to
cutting and slashing our people Just
like killing hogs. He straightened
cross eyes and sewed up hare Ups and
cut stones out of bladders. The ago
nizing screams of noor little Jqhn
Thompson, my schoolmate, still haunt
me, for he was simply dying of stone
In the bladder and the doctor cut it
out It was as large as a pigeon egg,
and the little boy got well. My broth
er and Jim Craig studied under Wild-
man. and when they wanted a stiff
they would go out to the Redland
grave yard In the night and dig up a
fresh burled corpse and haul It to a
little room hack of their office' and cut
it up and-boll it down and make
skeleton of the bones. I went with
them one night and helned them to dig
up a negro, but somebody rocked us as
we were, taking It out and we had to
run for our lives, for they threatened
to shoot. That satisfied me with the
business and 1 never went again.
But our little town wasn’thlg enough
for Wildman and so he moved to Co
lumbus and made a great reputation.
About that time the yellow fever vis
ited Savannah, and Wildman believed
he could stamp it out and that he was
Immune, but he wasn't. He took the
fever right away and died. It is a cu
rious coincidence that three doctors
from our town went to Savannah to
fight the fever and every one of them

I have Just enjoyed a good, long let :
ter from my old school mate, Nathan
Crawford, of Llncolnton. He Is the
honored school commissioner of the
county and will die In harness, I reck
on. He is ln his eightieth year, but
we were classmates, for he was one of
those sure and slow boys, while I was
precocious and uncertain. Only three
of us left now, for Tom Alexander Is
living at Rome. Nathan writes a good,
old-fashioned, cheerful letter, and
says thht he never stole Frank Alex
ander's watermelons, and hints that It
was Overton Young and a boy of my
name. The only reason that be didn’t
steal them was that he boarded with
Mr. Alexander and got plenty without
stealing. It Is too late now for him to
assume a saintly morality, for Tom
and 1 still live to testify. But It was
a good letter and the memory of Nat
Crawford is always comforting and re
freshing.

The road is now complete and in

engineers are .watching it with the
greatest Interest to see how long It
will last, confident in their own minds
that very soon there: must be t col

If the railroad Is running in good
order at the end of several years It
may lead to the reversal of some pres
ent Ideas ln railroad construction.
American engineers have held that
heavy rails are a necessity at any
cost, particularly on roads operated
by electric power,, and British engi
neers have supported this view, both
ln argument and in practice.
“It might be possible to operate
such a road, with vfcry light rolling
stock moving at low speed,” says the
Engineering News, “but this road Is
to carry electric motor cars weigh
ing twenty tons and three-car trains
are to run at ‘speeds of thirty miles
an hour at intervals of two and one-
halt to flVe minutes. It this track
maintains Its line and surface under
electric motor-car traffic, there must
be something In German conditions
very different from those which ob
tain In the Halted States.”
