one of ; . uo3f tredirable achieve
ments oT ir.tm.ui ingenuity. This
discover) Is not a theory, but it is a
fac\ which has been demonstrated
in every detail beyond dispute, and
we are now happily in a condition
to reject our venerable theories con
cerning bid air, miasm, aud so on.
Before des.nbng the method by
which infection takes pla:e, |t is
well to say a few words con erning
the mosquito that acts as a carrier
of the disease, which may be easily
dirtVre-.P luted from other similar
gnats. The malarial mosquito, has
a body which is placed parallel to
and almost on the same plane with
the front portions of the insect, and
as a i viisequenco, when at rest on
walls or other objects, the back por
tion sticks out almost or quite at
right angles with the surface upon
which it is resting. The back por
tion of the common mosquito forms
an angle with the front part of the
mosquito’s body, with the effect that
both ends of the mosquito point to
ward the object upon which it rests.
There are still other diffierences
that clearly differentiates the ma
larial from the common mosquito,
hut the one given ordinarily serves
to distinguish between them.
The malarial mosquito is pre-emi
nently a house gnat, being scarcely
ever seen in the woods or open, but
may be found—oftentimes in great
numbers—in all malarial localities,
lying quietly during the day in dark
corners of rooms or stables. This
mosquito practically never bites in
the day, tmt will do in a darkened
room, if a person will remain per
fectly quiet: their favorite time for
feeding is in the early parts of the
night and about daybreak—all of
which accounts for the fact long
observed that malarial fever is al
most invariably contracted at night.
The malarial mosquito bites and
then goes back to some dark cor
ner where it remains quiescent for
forty-eight hours, at the end of which
time it again descends to feed. Con
trary to the general opinion, mos
qultoes bite many times, and fre
quently remain alire for months—
the malarial mosquito particularly
living in cellars and attics oftentimes
throughout the entire winter.
If one of the mosquitoes bite
person with malaria, the parasites
are sucked in along with the blood
and pass into the stomach of the
gnat, making their way ultimately
into the body substance: here the
parasites undergo a series of mul
tiplications, a single one of them
oinetimes producing as many as ten
thousand young malarial parasites.
After the parasites have fully devel
oped. which requires eight days in
warm weather, they make their way
to the venom gland of the mosquy
to and there remain until it bites,
when they are injected into the
body of the individual attack along
with the poison. After getting into
tacks a red blood cell, bores into it,
the human blood, each parasite at-
and grows at the expense of the cell
until it reaches maturity, at which
time it divides up into from seven
to twenty-five young parasites which
are liberated and each in turn at
tacks a new cell. This process goes
on until a sufficient number of para
sites are produced in the individ
ual to cause the symptoms of ma
laria, and the new subject of the
disease thereafter becomes a source
of danger to others in the vicinity
through the intervention of still
other malarial mosquitoes.
From the foregoing it is seen
that the proper way to avoid malar
ia is to so screen houses that mos
quitoes cannot enter them. Persons
in malarial districts should not sit
on open porches at night, aud should
be very careful to sleep tin ler prop
erly constructed nets. If this be
done, there is absolutely no danger
of any one ever contracting the dis
ease. It will be observed that these
precautions are not necessary in the
day-time, as the malarial mosquito
rarely attempts to bite during this
period.
It should be remembered by those
who have the disease that they are
a constant source of danger of peo
ple living in the vicinity, and they)
should be careful as long as the |
disease persists to avoid being bit
ten by mosquitoes at night. It is
furthermore their duty to vigorous
ly treat the disease until the para
sites are no longer present in their
bodies, at which time they cease to
be a menace to others.
Attention should he particularly
ailed to the fact that many <hil-

HARROW COUNTY PIIOHARLE
Atlanta, June 18.—With all ‘-he
new county propositions that are be
ing pushed here incident to the open
ing of the Legislature, next week.
Including Warren, Hardeman, Can
dler. Barrow and others, It Is an
interesting tribute to the people of
Winder that not a single member of
the legislature who has so far come
to Atlanta to look over the field in
advance, has expressed an opinion
unfavorable to the establishment of
Barrow county.
Winder has representatives here

opportunity Chat offers Itself. Ev
ery time a member comes In they
go to work to find out just how he
stands as to Winder’s neiw county
proposal. They are not interested

”On a day like this I should rath

It is considered possible that Kd-

been a candidate for a consular po

to the legation.
Of course there are many mem

considered solely on a percentage

PREVENTION.
‘ Bulletin issued by the Georgia State
Board of Health.)
Malaria was recognized as a dis
tinct disease about five hundred
years before Christ. The relation
between marshes and malaria was
recognized by Empedocles (500
B. C.) atul he is said to have stop
ped an epidemic by draining stag
nant pools. Hippocrates, another
Greek physician, divided it into the
tornis we recognize today. It was
not until 1880, however, that the
parasite which causes the disease
was discovered by a French Army
Surgeon named Laveran. And in
1898 It was proven beyond a doubt
by Boss, of England, that these par
asites are carried from mao to man
tin protected by nets.
If the precautions herein detailed
were properly carried out, for even
a few months.* malaria would prac
tically cease to exist in our state
and would not recur without indi
viduals suffering from the disease
from other places were to come into
the districts where the Anopheles
mosquito is present.
•N. B. The State Board of Health
at its laboratories in the Capitol at
Atlanta ,1b prepared to make exami
nations of the blood for malarial par
asites, free of cost, and will very
gladly make such tests and report
the results to any one desiring them.
Specimens should be addressed to

Thomasville, Ga., June 16, 1913.
Editor Times-Enterprise:
As the tax equalization commis
sion bill is to be the paramount
business before the incoming legis
lature, your first editorial in to
day’s paper is very well taken, but
front reading the article on the sub
ject, I find some of the best from
•’.New Legislators,’* and I am sure
the general public would like to
know how their old representatives
stand o:i the subject, and if you can
get a statement from ours, by all
means let us have it, as to the best j
means to secure the passage
commission bill, and the general fea
tures of such.
From the present outlook, the
equalization bill should be a separ
ate and distinct bill from the in
heritance tax bill, as the latter bill
will have a more determined oppo
istion than the first, and might
Jeopardige its passage if put
.tether.
Kindly ask for our legislators'
views and set the ball to rolling.
Yours truly,
C. S. RUSSELL.
