Walking the floor at night is bet ter than walking the streets In the day-time to show off pretty clothes One-crop communities never pro gress as rapidly as those where di versified farming is practiced. They fined a Texas man for aissing n mule. Even a mule wouldn't kick under these circumstances. Good roads, good crops, good farms, bring all the other good things that are necessary, and Thomas County has them all. The Savannah Press asks, “Will the Legislature accomplish much?" Pleas Stovall must have already started for Switzerland. A missionary said the truth when ho remarked that it was possible that New York needed missionaries more than the heathen of Africa did. The fee system, the hanging of criminals, the tax system and a few other things in Georgia need atten tion befdVe a constitutional conven tion is called. In a Western College, thirty of a graduating class ef sixty-five admit ted that they had been kissed, and it's a B.fe bet that they were over alitece.

GRAPES IX SOl'TH GEORGIA A practical demonstration of quick returns which may be secured from crape-growing, may be seen at the Weather Bureau grounds, 230 South Broad Street. Mr. O. M. Hadley, who is in charge of the local Weath er Bureau office, is testing several Kinds of both the large bunch and cuppernong varieties, and these tests show conclusively that the large bunch varieties, especially the black ones, are far more desirable for garden planting and quick re turns than any of the scuppernongs. The varieties under test were planted one year ago, last winter, none of the vines at that time be ing over 10 inches long. But now they have spread all over the gar den fence, and while none of the scuppernongs are fruiting yet, near ly all of the bunch varieties are bearing. •One Worden vine has 65 well- formed clusters, and one Concord is loaded down with 105 clusters. One variety Moore’s Early, is beginning to ripen already. With care in the proper selection of varieties for planting, it is evident that one n ight be able to gather fresh grapes from the garden for at least three months during the summer and fall. liX ANSWER TO OPPONENTS OF GOOD ROARS EXPENDITURES. Watermelons and cantaloupes are being shipped In carload lots from this section of Georgia. The best ones of both fruit* we keep at home for local consumption and because they won’t ship. The newspaper is a public insti tution, doing great good, when you happen to boost a fellow. Tell the truth about him and it is a slan derous, mean, rotten sheet, without any excuse or reasoa. A lady said yesterday that the residence streets of the town needed sprinkling. They do, indeed, but the city would play havoc doing it, when they haven’t adequate fire protec tion for some of the best residence sections and the outlaying districts have water in plenty.

Kicks from both side* will stop >1ortly* ’The present system of building roads will eventually bankrupt any county,” says the Grady County Progress, in commenting on the ex penditures in Thomas County for building better highways. The Thomasville Press, also a “calamity howler,” gives the expen ditures, for eight years, at $286,- 724.82. The editor .4ave the editors of these contemporary papers credit for more horse sense than they are displaying. The editor has not access to the figures, but if the valuation of Thomas county farms alone has not Increased seven times more than $286,000 in the past eight years, he is willing to eat a straw hat. Now, you calamity howlers, would you have the county put back eight cars? A few fools opposed the building of railroads at first. The same persons or their heirs have become prosperous, because of the same railroads. Had it not been for the building of better roads, Thomas County would never have advanced.

Discovery of the part the mosquito plays in the transmission •Mse f« the most nniliuu*. iriun.i : •,oili.ru medicine, and 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.

Morgan, of Brunswick, near beer dealers Georgia can handle as many brands of artfber joy as they want (o with out having to pay any more than the single $1,000 annual tax. An effort was made to prove that the state had a right to exact a license $1,000 for each branjl handled. Another “wet” victory was won before the Supreme court by the decision which holds that railroad companies cannot be forced to fur nish police departments with infor mation regarding shipments of in toxicants, and lists of the persons to whom the intoxicants are shipped.

Including Warren, Hardeman, Can dler.

Winder has representatives here on, the field to look out for every opportunity Chat offers Itself.

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.
