A strong, healthy vigorous man
under the influence of liquor is one
of the most pitiful sights we see,
and we see it quite frequently.
The Georgia legislature is regard
ed as an unknown quantity . Even
at that it wont be any worse than
some we hare heard of.
Roddenbery is right, there is noth
ing more Invigorating and refresh

i PREVENTING MISCEGENATION.
Congressman Roddenbery, of
Georgia, has introduced a bill in the
house the object of which is to pro
hibit the marriage of white people
and negroes in this country. In
support of his proposition he pro
poses to introduce the testimony
produced in the recent trial of the
negro Jack Johnson, fo: white sla
very in the city of Chicago. It te
not improbable that this evidence
will throw some illuminating fea
tures into the matter. At any rate
it will be highly interesting regard
ing the matter in hand. The bill
of Mr. Roddenbery is a meritorious
one, preventing as it does the mar
riage of whites and negroes any
where in the United States. Of
course all congressmen would n
urally favor it, except perhaps a few
who allow political considerations
to warp their better judgment and
deaden higher instincts. Ali of the
Southern States and some of the
Northern States forbid miscegena
tion of the races. The proposed
Federal law would apply to all.
Naturally there are very few people
in the United States who have any
desire to form a matrimonial alli
ance with a negro. Nevertheless,
there have always been a few, so
degraded that they have done so. In
a very few cases even white women
have married negro men—which, of
course, was a most disgraceful and
revolting performance. There is'
good reason to believe that congress
will pass the Roddenbery anti-mis-
cegenatlon law, the merits of which
are so natural and obvious that they;
need no argument to support them.
The law should he made sufficiently
strong to accomplish the purpose
desired. It should not only make
the marriage of whites and blacks
illegal, but criminal. So that those
who attempted such an alliance
would be severely punished for it.
There is no chance in any event
for any general miscegenation of the
races in this country such as has
caused degeneration among the
populations of Mexico and Central
America. The white people in this
country have too much self-respect
to lower their race standards in such
a manner. Nevertheless the ..Rod
denbery bill is a good cue and
should be put through with a rush.

The report of the third year of
activity of the Rockefeller Sanitary
Commission for the Eradication ot
Hookworm shows commendable
progress.
A survey of foreign countries
shows a general infection of those
parts of the earth lying between 36
degrees north latitude and 30 de
grees south latitude, a belt 66 de
grees in width, encircling the earth.
\N ithin this belt Is included a con
siderable part of the United States;
eleven states in particular have
been found heavily infected.
In Texas 83 counties have the in
fection, and of the 884 counties iu
the other ten states infection has
been found in 796. It is presuma
ble that the remaining 88 counties
will also be found infected when the
work is extended to them. In all,
238,755 persons were treated at an
expenditure per person treated of
77 cents, as compared with 140,37*
persons treated in 1911 at an aver
age expenditure per person at $1.05.
and 1 4,443 treated in 1910 at in
average expenditure per person cf
$4.66. In the three years a total
of 393,566 persons have been treat
ed for uncinarasis.
The total expenditure of the com
mission for year was $184,671.60,
in addition to which the sum of
$22,4S2.44 was spent by counties
and $19,972.52 by states for fight
ing the hookworm, making a grand
total of $227,126.56. The micro
scopic examinations made in 1912
numbered 326,951, as against 90,-
724 in 1911 and 14,789 in 1910.
NEWSPAPER MEN WONT TELL.
It is a well-founded axiom that
newspaper men wont tail. The fact
was again demonstrated only tne
other day in Forth Worth, Texas.
The Record of that city published
the story of the return of an indict
ment against a county official. The
information was news, and was ab-
eolutely correct, hut It happened
that the publication was made be
fore the indictment had deliver d
to the clerk of court for record.
The judge called on three report
ers to tell where and how they ob
tained the information. The report
ers naturally, properly and prompt
ly refused to tell. The judge then
sent them to Jail for an hour each
for <ontempt of court Thus the
law was vindicated, the judge was
enabled to blow off a little steam,
the Record was given another story,
a better one than the first, and the
reporters became sort of demigods
throughout the length and breadth
of Texas.
Over in Augusta, Oa., a year or
-o ago, T. J. Hamilton, the city edi
tor of the Herald, refused to tell
the police commission the name of
the policeman who disclised some
important ‘•inside’' news to him.
He, too, was punished for contempt.
A newspaper man who will di
vulge the source of his information
when that source is under fire is not
destined to be a newspaper man
very long. For that reason newj-
1 aper men, from cub reporters up to
editors-in-chief, enjoy the confidence
of public men the world over. Se
crets of business, politics, love and
war are disclosed to them, and ael-
dem, if ever, is that trust abused.
Newspaper men are generally ready
to talk—as apt at conversation, in
fact, as they are at writing—but
they do r.ot “give away” matters of
confidence which have been reposed
it. them.
It has been seriously proposed,
right here in Georgia, that a law be
enacted which will make dealings
between newspaper men and their
"sources of information’’ as sacred
and os inviolable as confidences be-
j tween lawyer and client, between
[doctor and patient. We doubt the
| possibility of passing such a law,
i and are also skeptical about its
j legality being sustained, but a law
I of that character is not at all necc3-
jsary. Newspaper men will protect
[those who give them news. They

result, a verdict, acquitting C.

Judge Palmer ruled that the evi

self-defense, and therefore directed
a verdict of acquittal. The jurors

“For three years, I suffered with wo
manly troubles, and had pains In my

The doctor could not help me. B*
said I would have to be operated on b»
fore I could get better. I thought I
would try using Cardul.
Now, I am entirely well,

For fifty years, Cardul has been re
lieving pain and distress caused by wo
manly trouble. It will surely help yon.
It goes to tbs spot—reaches tbs
trouble—relieves tbs symptoms, and
drives away the cause.
It you suffer from any symptoms of

VALUABLE PLATS AND MAPS

Suit of State Vs. Georgia Railway &
Power Company To Come Up
Monday at Clayton.
Atlanta, May 20.—The archives
of the State of Georgia have been
lifted with a fine-tooth comb for
original plats and grants affecting
•ho property at Tallulah Falls, to be
used In connection with the suit ot
the State of Georgia vs. the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company,
which will open next Monday
Clayton, i.i Rabun county.
The snlt is one of the most Im
portant ever tried in Georgia, be
cause of the fact the lands claimed
by the state are now occupied by
the Power Company as sites
the principal parts of Its plant,
which Is about ready to deliver elec
trical energy to practically all the
principal cities, towns and Indus
trial enterprises of North Georgia.
The land In dispute is the keystene

prise, Involving the entire business
structure of an Institution already
erected, and closely associated with
the industrial destinies of over half
a million people.
Both parties have been preparing
the case for nearly eighteen months
and In this lawsuit the las*, word
will likely be said.
The claims which are made in the
suit were presented to Governor
Hoke Smith, then to Governor
Brown, and later to Governor-Elect
Slaton. ATter investigation, each
decided that there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant the state’s
bringing suit to recover the land.
But an appeal was made to the leg
islature, and It passed a resolution

bring suit. The attorney general Is
acting In compliance with those In
structions.
