Viewing with strict impartiality the situation relative to the Hansel) county movement, it looks as if the separate desire of Pelham and Meigs, to be the county site, is one of the things which will most un questionably kill whatever chances there might have been for a new county with that name. The TImes-Enterprise is against either of the propositions. The ma jority—the great majority—of the people of Thomas county feel simi larly about It. A representative body of its citizens should be In Atlanta next Thursday, to express that de sire to the committee of the legis lature which will have this reduce the amount of preventable disease. Conditions, affecting the work of the health department, are coutinu ally changing. A few years ago the important feature was the preventing of the spreading of epidemics. That epidemics would take place from time to time was regarded as a mat ter of course. Today such epidem ics are considered as unlikely in cities properly supervised and con trolled. Because of these conditions fumi gation. or disinfection was a large •part of the labors of the department this labor dhd responsibility iu"ub> continue, but from year to year it is a responsibility that it growing less.

The movement is one which Is at the height of interest at this time and is being closely watched by the people of at least four counties. Grady is stirred up, especially the folks in the district which the new county wants; Colquitt is somewhat indifferent but Thomas and Mitchell more than make up for it in the fer vor of their desire to be unmolested. The question will be settled next Thursday before the Legislative com mittee. HEALTH HOARD PROBLEMS. real progress could be made much rapidly.

Paris Finds Large Percentage of Street Accidents Due to Diversi fied Kinds of Warning Signals— New’ York Expert Urges Similar Action by State Legislature*. New York, July 19.—A cable dis patch from Paris says that two- thirds of the street accidents there have been attributed by experts to the diversity of sounds used as auto mobile warnings; and that a move ment is on foot to standardize the signals used for this purpose. Charles Thaddeus Terry, General Counsel for the American Automo bile Association, and one of the dilghest authorities in the country on automobile legislation, in com- mentin on the movement in the French city, said that similar action by State Legislatures of this country is one of the greatest importance in order to prevent the rapadlly in creasing number of automobile ac cidents. “AitlomobUlsts generally,” said Mr. Terry, “are convinced that some thing must be done in the near fu ture toward the adoption of a stat ute which will require the uniform signalling device of a character which would prevent accidents.

Atlanta, July 19.—The House com mittee on constitutional amendments lias recommended favorably the bill providing for an additional one mill ad valorem tax to raise money for the prompt payment of school teach ers. It was declared this morning in the corridors of the capltol that a majority of the legislators are al ready agreed to pass this fncasure, or to provide some other equally ef ficacious means for raising the mon ey for the teachers.
