The-following eulogy is worthy of
_jthe great paper from which it emanab
cd, the Baltimore Sun:
. i “Mankind conld survive the collapse
of all qiher industries but this. The
one essential man is the firmer. * He
is the klog of a’l ao'd at the same time
the servant ot all. His reign began
with Adam and will last as long as the

4 ope of the few laborers that never
goes on a strike and who conld not
afford to allow a strike. Hfejrtopping
work woold.be as bad ar cutting off
tbe earth's supply ot air.
“The farmer not only gives the*
world its bread and meat, he not only
sustains its bodily life from year to
year, but he forms the vast surplus or
reserve capital upon which the cities
and nation are constantly drawing for
the maintainance of their physical,
intellectual health. Country air, coun
try light seem to make strong bodies,
strong minds and strong souls. The
freshness, the breadth and originality
which come from close communion
with nature are’nceded to give life and
blood to the depleted urban system.
From the beginning of our history the
fanner has contributed great men to
American business and politic*, pro-
idmg intellectual and moral as well
as physical material for the country,
and we hive reason to be thankful
that we can look to him for this also
in the future, as well as for ths pro
ducts of the scil.”
Thomasville Quarantines
•Against Jesup.
Upon receipt of information Sunday
that a case of yellow fever was repott
ed in Jesup, Mayor Hopkins, With 1 is
unial alertness, immediately wired
Savannah and other places for reliable
information. Liter in the day it was
learned that Savannah and Alabama
bad quarantined against the place and
the.S, F. & W. had issued orders
that no trains be allowed to stop thtre.
Mayor Hopkins immediately declared
quarantine by this p'ace and Sunday
night and ycsterdiy all trains were
inspected.
Facts About-Artesian Wells.
The ‘ Journal of ih^Franklin Insil
lute” for September contains an article
oh artesian well* by Oscar S. Garter,
Professor of Geology and Mi leralogy
in the Central' High School ot ibis'
city, which is of general value'fqr the
scientific data which it presents on a
subject of utmost practical importance.
Referring to this tbe Philadelph'a
Record saysi
“Concerning the superior purity of ar
tesian water, there cannot be a ques
tion. It would be obvious even to
the unscientific mind that water which
filters through hundreds of feet of
rocky strata must free itself in the
process from deleterious organic
matter. As Professor . Carter, speak
ing with all scientific confidence in'!
spired by ample scientific tests, de
clares: ‘Disease germs, which sewer
age in river water renders so common,
are unknown in artesian water, unless
the Well be drilled to ajtvdri? popu
lated district or the well be improper
ly cased.”
Thomasville is fortunate iq drawing
her artesian water from oce of the
deepest wells in the ffoutb, 1985 feet
deep. Her water supply, coning as
it doer, doubtless, from the P.edmoat
regior, is overlaid by hundreds and
hundreds oi feet of solid rock. No
wonder it is pure. There is a marked
absence of the usual summer s ekness
in families who use artesian water
exclusively. It saves doctors bills.
Thomasville never mad* a better
investment than when she bored for
thispuie aDd ioexiaustable supp’y ot
water.
