The action of the committee on
Constitutional Amendments of the
House, in Atlanta, Thursday, recom
mending that a new county be form
ed with Pelham as the county site,
has irrevocably killed the proposi
tion advanced by the people of
Meigs. These folks wanted to be
out of Thomas county; they wanted
a county of their own and, contrary
to all advice from friends in the
county, they went to work.
The agitation became intense and
before the matter had become known
Pelham had in a bill to create a
new county with Pelham as the
county site, and like the Meigs
folks, the county was to be named
for the late Judge'Augustin H. Han-
sell, of Thomas county.
Backed by the influence and mon
ey of Mr. J. L. Hand, the leading
citizen and largest property owner
of the city, the Pelham proposition
gained ascendency and its accep
tance by the committee, viewing all
matters and parties concerned, was
not out of expectations. But it kill
ed the Meigs proposition.
The folks who are running the
Hansell county matter will in all
probability not present the bill
for the consideration of the House
until things have cooled off consid
erably and that will be next year.
They probably hope for a compro
mise settlement with Meigs, which
would insure the presentation of a
united front to the Assembly and
the consequent passage of the bill
before the legislature and the peo-
other nine-tenth^ in a hog farm.
The prices being paid for porkers
by the packing houses are simply
fabulous. The opportunity and ad
vantages for raisng hogs in this
territory are very ununusual.
Mr. Brooks, who has had years of
experience and observation in the
stock and packing house business
out West, tells the people of Moul
trie and Colquitt county that hoga

Meigs didn’t make much by the
pew county proposition, except to
make it easier for Pelham. That
money was wasted and no joke.

After they decided that Meigs had a

to supply the demand of Thomas
vllle alone. The farmers could raise
it and save the price of express for
a profit above the usual price.
Then, too, the counties of this sec
tion of tue state are awakening to
the possibilities of this sort of farm
ing and in some instances they have
made wonderful yields and still more
wonderful profit from the Invest
ment. Why is not this industry de
veloped?
HOGS—A MOXKY CROP.
What offers more profit to the
producer thaa hogs Ae one stud
ies the packing house proportion he
feels inclined to put a tenth of his
wealth in the packing houac and the
Minnesota. What are some of the
conditions under which they raise
their hogs?
1st. They have six or seven
months of winter, and it is not un
usual for the thermometer to reg
ister thirty below zero. In such
weather pigs are generally frozen,
and the older hogs can only be kept
in close houses and often they have
to be protected by artificial heat.
They must be fed all winter.
2nd. They have the expense of
gathering their crops, carrying feed
to the hogs and personally caring
for them the largest portion of the
year.
3rd. The principal hog feed is
corn, oats and other grain—the
commercial or money crops of the
farmers. They only make one crop 1
of grain each year, and if the crops
are fed to the hogs they cannot be
sold on the markets.
In Colquitt county pigs may be
raised on pasture all winter. The
principal hog feed of this county
onsists of by-products of the farm,
vhich may be made in connection
with other crops, not interfering
with corn and other grain raised for
market. Green pasturage may be
had all winter and all summer, and
the hog feed ’does not even have to
bo gathered into barns. One third
more pigs may be raised from each
mother hog and they can be raised
at one-half the cost it requires to
raise them in Minnesota.
If hogs raise mortgages in Min
nesota. what ought they to do in
South Georgia?
The packing house supplies the
missing link in hog raising. It fur
nishes a market twelve months out
of the year. It makes it possible for
the farmers to get a third more or
possibly twice as much for his hogs
as he has received in the past. The
danger of losing the meat after the
bogs are fattened is obviated. There
is no more expensive feeding of nogs
after they are once fat, waiting fo
proper weather to kill. There is no
more wasteful necessity of killing
hogs when mere pigs in order to find
u market for them.
Our people do not have to lear
to raise hogs. They know how al
ready. We do lfot have to expert
ment with crops for hog feed and
pasture; we have been growing them
for years. Even negroes can rais<
hogs even more successfully than
they raise cotton. It looks like easy
money.—.Moultrie Observer.
AS TO MALARIA.
It is welcome news that the ef
forts of the scientists are being
turned from the “hook worm" and
are now being directed towards thc
prevention of malaria, the one dis
ease that the country has suffered
from more disastrously than any
other.
This Is the oldest disease of them
all, a disease that gave our fath
ers and grandfathers much worry.
For years it baffled science. Its
cause could not be determined. A
man would feel perfectly well when
he arose in the morning, then sud
denly, without warning, he would
fee 1 chilly, and soon his frame
would be shaken with chills. Some
times these chills would be accom
panied by nausea and Ln every case
were followed by a high, head-split
ting headache, in tne afternoon the
fever would subside and the man
would feel himself again. The next
day he would be all right but on the
third day the monster would have
him it\ its grip again.
People would leave communities,
many of them richly productive, be
cause this malaria could not be
driven out. But modern science
hat, changed all of this.
Malaria can only be transmitted
through the bite of a certain kind
of mosquito, so they nowr say. In
most parts of the world where antl-
mosquito measures have been under
taken on a large scale this and
similar diseases have almost en
tirely disappeared.
This disease Is caused by para
blood but they increase until mil
lions may exist in one human body.
An infected person will not begin
to suffer from fever until these par
asites begin to divide. In this di
vision scientists tell us, a little poi
son escapes and enters the blood.
The breaking up process, occurring
when these parasites reach ma
turity, cause the fever to return at
intervals, no suffering being felt in
the meantime.
Quinine kills the parasites when
administered at the proper time;
but generally it will not destroy a'l
the parasites in the body unless it
is given • in sufficient dose and con
tinued for several months. As long
as a single parasite remains in the
body the patient will be subject to
relapse.
Malaria is most prevalent In the
vicinity of marshes and it w'as sup
posed that the air from these marsh
es produced the disease. But it has
been impossible to discover para
sites of malaria in the water or air
of marshes. The mosquitoes which
carry these parasites, however, breed
in marshes or marshy pools.
There are three recognized means
of warfare against malaria. First,
the mechanical protection of indi
viduals from the bites of malarial
mosquitoes. Second, the destruc
tion of the malarial mosquitoes, and,
third, the systematic treatment of
the disease with quinine until it
has been stamped out. The first is
largely a matter of personal pre
vention and the second has been
practiced very successfully in many
localities. The third method is easy
enough to use. Many people buy
the quinine in the form of candy,
it being easy for children to take In
this way.
\
The government is doing admira
ble work In destroying these malar
ial mosquitoes and if the people
will only work in harmony with the
government it will not be long until
this disease will be effectively
stamped out.—Macon Telegraph.

Another Case Where Atlanta Hoy
Spent Money For Absolutely
Nothing.
Atlanta, July 25.—Declaring that
young Austell Thornton was not
the first, but the second young At-
lantiau killed by the Friedmann tur
tle serum treatment, the Atlanta
Constitution in a leading editorial
denounces the German socialist as
a “mvrderous quack,” and calls on
the United States government to
TYPHOID FEVER.
A Bulletin Issued by the Georgia
State Board of Health.
While typhoid fever is seen the
year around it is most prevalent, as
every one knows, in late summer
and during the fall—hence, the
synonym "autumnal fever.” Now
there can be no denying the fact that
summer is here, and autumn having
the habit of falling upon us soon
after the close of the summer season,
g few words to the wise at this time
on typhoid fever we hope will
sufficient to help check this deadly
disease, and it is high time that ty
phoid was being stopped, too.
The existence of typhoid fdver wa«
recognized 2,413 year sago. How
much longer it has been in existence
we have no records to show. But
surely 2.413 years 1b long enough to
put up with the ravages of a dis
ease that could have been stopped
2,412 years ago. Of course, back
in the early centuries it was not
known to be a preventable malady;
this fact has only been known for
a few decades, but it has been long
enough lor typhoid fever to have
been stamped out by this time had
the medical profession told the peo
ple what was necessary to be done
and had the people put these in
structions into practice.
Every case of typhoid fever
springs from a pre-existing case, and
if you are stricken with this malady
you can put It down that you are
the victim of somebody's careless
ness—may be your own, may b<
somebody else’s; the results are the
same, however, and this careless
ness is responsible for more deaths
than are bullets, daggers, rattle
snakes and lightning, all put to
gether.
If one man shoots anther often
thousands of dollars are spent
searching for the murderer, tryln*
him and executing him in order that
society may in the future be pro
tected against him.
Not so. tnough, with a person who
deliberately empties out of the dis
charges from a typhoid fever patient
without first disinfecting them and
may be thereby kills indirectly
dozen or more people. Yon don't
believe that typhoid is spread in this
way? Then read the history of the
Plymouth, Pa., land epidenijc during
which one person out of ever sev
enteen in the town developed ty
phoid fever. If you are still from
.Missouri, then read the history of
the Plymouth, Pa., epidemic, where
as a consequence of an attendant neg
lecting to disinfect the discharges
from a typhoid fever case, the atten
dant was responsible for the devel
opment of 1,200 cases of this dis
ease In a town of 8,000* people, or
one case to every seven of f he to
tal number of inhabitants, and
deaths to the number of 130.
If a rattlesnake bites a person a
great commotion is made, the neigh
br-hood becomes alarmed, a search
is probably Instituted to find the
snake and the snake is finally killed
to protect the rest of the people from
it. But when a case of- typhoid oc
curs in a community, the fact is
viewed wtih a complacency that Is
absolutely astounding. No one tries
to find out where it came from, -and
no one bothers himself to see to it
that it is not allowed to spread from
Dan to Beersheba—maiming a”nd
killing as it goes.
Everybody recognizes the fact
that rattlesnakes are dangerous and
should be killed on sight. Why
protect the public life against “such doesn’t everybody recognize the
merciless charlatanry.
A joung and prominent Atlantian
the writer says, and a man of rare
value to the community, has just
added another victim to the Fried
mann cure. Before he took the
Friedmann treatment he was at least
lolding his own, under the methods
everywhere practiced by reputable
physicians. With that solicitude
characteristic of patients and their
relatives, he eagerly grasped at the
promise of cure held out by the
German fakers. And the faker,
knowing the resources of the fam
ily, extorted $3,000 as a cash in ad
vance fee. From the day this
young man took the treatment he
grew steadily worse. His death fol
lowed by only a few weeks, the
death of another young Atlantian,
similarly circumstanced, whose pur
se had been similarly hied.
The editorial In question severely
takes the U. 3. government to task
for maintaining a neutral attitude
towar dthe Friedmann cure.

faot that typhoid germs are as dead
ly as rattlesnakes, and go to work
and exterminate these germs like
they have to a large extent done the
rattlers?
And isn’t it strange that a man
will spend a hundred dollars putting
lightning rods on his house to pro
tect himself against the lightning,
which rarely ever kills anybody, and
yet not spend a cent to screen his
kitchen, and dining room against
the typhoid-carrying flies (and the
malarial-bearing mosquito)? Yes.
indeed, it Is all passing strange.
