Gnats and mosquitoes are more [('plentiful than they ought to be, and The Timee-Enterprise is in receipt of the following communication from a responsible citizen living in the northern part of the county. It •peaks forcefully and concisely the opinion of men who have studied conditions and know the remedies: Editor Times-Enterprise, Thomasville, Ga. Jear Sir: — Where is the hitch which prevents >ur County Board of Health from inaugurating the operation of our ew Health Bill? Three grand ju- es have found this bill a most de sirable measure; recommended its doption for Thomas County, and now it seems to b# stopped by a body composed of only three met..- )ers, when the law explicitly sajs hey shall act, act at once, and that they have no discretion in the mat ter. Each separate grand jury rec- >mmendt»d this bill after discussing .t from a purely economic stand-! point, seeing that would be the means of saving our people many ! thousands of dollars yearly in lost! timo alone, front sickness and death. ■ Yet we are told that there is no ! money available, and that we can not go on. Smaller counties than ours are putting it into operation. Tift and Irwin counties are, jointly, a district and their combined wealth I nearly every statesman in this coun- ly. j The spirit of the opinion is broken n the undue haste with which Judge jrl.ghes flung off his judicial robes and mixed In the medley of political office-seekers. A calm, dispassion ate judgment evidently inspired his .esignation, a vainglorious pride irompted his encouragement of 'Re publican favor and a greedy desire to acquire still higher honor has In duce him to connive and plot with those who opposed him only a few short months ago. Tnis political conspiracy is for iothing but to bring back to the Re publican paity the control of govern mental affairs and through it of pow- ers and conditions that go to en rich and endow’ the members of the party in control. That Justice Hughes thought so little of progres sive legislation as to take part in the play is remarkably like a man whose sole desire is self aggran dizement and self emulation. The chief reasons he might argue | against the Democratic administra- ition is that the country is prosper ous, that we have won an epoch- |making victory in international law, j that we have avoided with honor a jstrugle that would have meant the I acquisition of, or at least the subju gation of a republic, our neighbor, j These arguments are the ones Mr. Hughes urges against Wilson.
