A CLEAN* TOWN.
How It Contributes to the Health of
the Citizens.
Editor Tlmes-Entcrprtse:
I read an nrtlcle In your Issue of
the 11th that I most heartily en
dorse. It Is on clean living, a thing
that I have given much attention to.
Clean living means a great deal
when It comes to health. The fact
Is, we cannot expect good health
In towns and cities without clean liv
ing.
The writer of the article above re
ferred .to, sqld he lived two years,
1904-1906, In Eustln, Fla., a little
town of about 2,000 population
said he never saw or heard of a
case of fever while there; said the
town was one of the cleanest and
healthiest towns he ever lived
He attributed the good health of the
town to clean living. He Is evident
ly right about that. There Is noth
ing that contributes more to good
health In towns and cities, than clean
living. To get good, pure, healthy
air In towns and cities, we must keep
them clean from one end to the
other. Every nook and corner
must be kept clean. When we take
Into consideration that we breathe
hourly from two to three thousand
cubic feet of air, we can see the
necessity of living In pure air.
towns and cities we should have a
law strictly enforced to make every
body keep their premises perfectly
clean. Burn all -refuse burnable
matter, and remove all that will not
burn clear away from town. It all
towns and cities that have yellow
fever lived that way, they would
have no more yellow fever. I re
peat, to keep towns and cities as
clean as they should be, we should
have a law strictly enforced that
would make everybody, black and
white, keep their premises perfectly
clean. While a few may keep tbelr
premises clean, the masses will not
do K without being made, hence the
necessity of making. In studying
human nature I And It necessary to
make a great many people do such
things as are good for them. Every
body knows that clean living Is good
for them and yet there are only a
few who live as clean as they should.
Let’s see If we cannot make Thom-
asvtUe as clean and nice and health
ier than Euatls. In so doing we
will not only enjoy the beat of
health ourselves, but make every
body who comes here say what Mr.
Teat said about Eustls.

PAPER MANUFACTURER.
Plans to Make It From Cotton Stalks
and Pine Pulp.
The two following dispatches tell
of Interesting developments In the
scientific world:
Atlanta, Jan. 12.—W. M. Croll of
Pine Mountain, Rabun county, has
sent to Secretary of State Philip
Cook a sample of paper wblch he
made from, cotton stalks. The sam
ple Is a coarse and crude paper,
but Mr. Croll states It was made by
hand, and with the aid of machinery
be proposes to Improve upon It great
iy.
Mr. Croll has been In the paper
manufacturing business for years,
having been associated with several
paper mills, and since coming to
Georgia be has taken hold of the
matter of making paper from cotton
stalks. He has succeeded In pro
ducing from the cotton stalk a fibre
at comparatively small cost, which
can be utilized In the making of
the cheaper grades of paper but a
paper that will undoubtedly prove
to be strong and durable.
This paper can be used, Mr. Croll
states. In the manufacture of coarse
paper bags such as are used
flour, meal and cement, It can also
be used for sheathing and similar
purposes to wblch papers of strong,
tough fibers are now put
Mr. Croll Is now considering the
matter of establishing a paper mill,
probably in Georgia, for the manu
facture of paper from sotton stalks.
Should this paper prove adaptable
to the uses stated. It would doubtless
rapidly replace other materials used
for similar purposes on account of
the low price at which it could be
made.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Section Director Tells of Georgia
Progress On That Line.
Section Director J. B. Marbury, of
Georgia, who receives reports
crops, weather conditions and all
matters of Interest to farmers, Is
one of the strongest advocates of di
versified farming In the south. By
means of reports and from personal
observation he has made a close
study of the rapid strides being
made by the farmers of Georgia for
the betterment of the state and
of adding revenue both to their own
pockets and those of Georgia.
“The many new pursuits which
are making headway la the south
and especially In our own state,’
said yesterday, "must be a constant
source of pardonable pride to the

so common as to put this material
within tho reach-of all.
"Reports show that the first and
most Important natural advantages
of the south for profitable dairying
Is the climate. This makes possible
the grazing on fresh green pastures
nine months or more in each year.
This Is the least expensive food for
the maintenance of stock and affords
just those qualities which secure a
full flow of milk from the cow.
Cowpeas and sorghum will constant
ly Improve the condition of cows,
while winter oats and crimson clover
afford rich grazing and lasts until
the natural grasses begin their
growth in the spring. This makes
the south not only the best, but the
cheapest section of the country for
the feeding of the cows.
"As to the climate, mild winters
do not make necessary the building
of expensive buildings for the hous
ing of the animals during the long
cold period, such as are required
In the north. In cold weather, too,
much of the feed goes to the supply
ing of warmth for the animal at
the cost of the supply of milk. This
means a great advantage for the
south. Tuberculosis, which Is one
of the greatest evils contended with’
In the dairy business. Is far more
prevalent In cold climates. -
"The market In the south Is fine
and growing better every year. For
those who go Into very fine grades,
the growing tourist business is a
great Item. Each year the number
of the rich travelers from the north
who come to Dixie for the winter
Is Increasing. By these people lux
uries are demanded regardless of
price. As a result the southern dai
ryman is able to get tremendous
hotels filled with what are often
called millionaire Immigrants.
"This market Is of the greatest
%elp to the average farmer as well
as the regular dairyman. Each year
finds the average farmer adding
more cows to bis farm- In this way
he supplies the regular tr^de, but
more particularly the tourist trade
with milk, butter or cream and de
rives a revenue which was entirely
lacking a few years ago. All this,
too, with the present high prices of
cotton and other equally profitable
Incomes from poultry, eggs, Jrutt
and vegetables until it really seems
as If the money was coming to the
farmer In more ways and from more
directions than any other business.
No wonder eighty-seven new banks
were organized In Georgia last
vear.”
