Joe Hill Hall .hale and gruff a3 ever, is threatening now to run % for Governor, no, Mayor of Macon. It will 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 sites in the blood which feed upon red blood cells.- It is prevalent in most warm countries. These para sites are introduced into the blood by certain mosquitoes. On being in troduced they then enter red blood cells and grow. When full grown they divide and the parts eater flesh cells.

The Pelham proposition is deeid edly the most desirable from the viewpoint of the entire County Thomas, for by it we lose much less territory. If Meigs wanted a county to such an extent it is more than probable that they will becom reeon/iled to going with Pelham just to be in the new county.

WHO IS “llt’DDY" politi- There are a number of clans in Thomasville who, for some reason are against the people of thil district or anything that they wish. After they decided that Meigs had a tery good chance to have a new county created, with Meigs as the county aRe, they began at once to work ia the Interest of Pelham. Alright, “Buddy.” we have got your number and when you a;atn stick your bead in this section of the 8Uto for anything, w§ will that yon get it*—Melga Weekly New*. 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. FID1IM ME MICE 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. Stenographer and Typewriter Ex amination. The U. S.

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)?
