Large Audience at City Hall Last Night to Hear the
Address on “Pure Milk.” People Were Shown
the Importance of Keeping Milk Supply
Pure. Facts Worth Pondering.
Last night at the city hall Mr. G.l
M. Whittaker, the United States gov
ernment expert on milk, who came
here at the invitation of the Athens
Board of Health, delivered a magni
ficent Jo Mitre on "Pure Milk" in the
presence of a large and interested au
dience.
Mr. Whittaker has been here sev
eral days, lias visited a number of
dairies, has talked to tho dairymen,
has talked to the State Normal School
students and is well satisfied with his
visit. He finds a large number of
people here vitally interested in this
Important question.
Mr. Whittaker Illustrated his lec
ture last night with a number of lan
tern slides that added much to the
interest and effectiveness of the talk.
lie first told those present what
was meant by chemically pure milk,
showed that milk is a well balanced
ration, that it is a most common ar
ticle of food, used the world over,
that it is the exclusive food of many
Infants and invalids.
Having thus told of the general use
of milk, Mr. 'Whittaker pointed out
that it was a splendid medium for
spreading diseases through bacteria.
He showed how the bacteria of tuber
culosis and tlie bacteria of pus cells
could he transmitted through milk to
the human body. He showed how the
bacteria of scarlet fever, typhoid fever
and other diseases could be transmit
ted through milk from its being handl
ed by people having those diseases or
by Infection from water in which
those bacteria existed.
Mr. Whittaker then spoke of the
significance of milk acitmm- **■ • •
portance of the crusade for pure milk.
Aside from the bearing it has on dis
ease. he insisted that civilization and
national honesty called for pure milk
for the people. Then too It was
broad economic problem. Sociologists
are all the while talking about the de
creased birth rate. That is all right
but the people should turn their at
tention also to the alarming death
rate among babies. Statistics show
that one third of all babies die before
they reach t lie age of five years. Of
that number it has been shown that
one half die ns a needless sacrifice to
dirty milk.
The economic problem is seen when
ft ts considered how great the
pense, direct and indirect of taking
care of these sick babies and of laying
them away. Then there is the suffer
ing of loved ones and friends to con
elder. .Also to be considered Is the

Mr. 'Whittaker referred to the popu
lar apathy on this subject. Estlmat
tng on the best mortuary statistics to
be secured in Athens, he said that
•very year about sixty children, black
and white die here. Statistics show
that one half of this number die from
Intestinal disorders due to milk. If

low a wreck to occur ln which thirty
little babes lost their lives the public
Indignation would know no bounds.
Yet the people are apathetic when
comes to stopping the ravages of
death through this fertile medium of
Impure milk.
Mr. Whittaker pointed out some ex
ceptions to this popular apathy. He
•aid the doctors were steadily becom
ing more and more energetic ln their
warfare against Impure milk and that
a number of Women’s clubs were
showing activity along this line.
Mr. Whittaker went into some de
tailed explanations in regard to bo
vine tuberculosis, and Typhoid fever.
He showed the necessity In the latter
ease of paying strict attention to the
utensils and the water In which they
were washed, to the cleanliness of the
hands, to keeping away all files from
contact with the milk, to 'the strain
ing of milk so as to prevent all dirt
germs from settling ln It, and many
other necessary things to be done.
In conclusion he spoke of the neces
sity for a strong healthy sentiment
.that would back up the efforts of the

Carnosville. C.a., Nov. 23—Franklin
county witnessed a novel spectacle in
court last week in the trial of the Hon.
Ix>n J. McConnell, charged with lar
ceny after trust, preferred by tho Vlr-
ginla-Carolina Chemical Co. Mr. Me-
Connell is one of the most prominent
citizens of this section of tho state
and has often been tho recipient of
many offices of trust and honor. His
acquittal is the cause of universal
congratulations. Ho conducted his
own defense, examining the witnesses
and making the argument ln the case,
which he did in two hours and a half,
His statement to the Jury consumed
four hours. It was a masterly presen
tatlon of his side ot tho controversy,
While he had no counsel marked ln
the case it was generally known that
Judge A. G. McCurry, of the firm of
A. G. & Julian McCurry of Hartwell,
was coaching Mr. McConnell and was
ready to take charge of the defense
had any breakers occurred during the
trial. Mr. McConnell was for years
the county school commissioner of
Franklin county, chairman of the
democratic executive committee and a
member of the state democratic execu
tive committee which was elected by
the Macon convention. He introduced
Hon. Hoke Smith at Carnesville in
1906. The state was representated by
Sol. Gen. Tribble, of Athens, Sol. Gen,
C. D. Hill of Atlanta, T. W. Rucker of
Atlanta. J. H. Skelton of Hartwell and
W. R. Little of Carnesville. The ar
guments In the case were made by
Messrs. Hill and Skelton for the state
and by Mr. McConnell for the defense.
Mr. McConnell Is a prominent cotton
and fertilizer dealer at Royston and
the trouble arose over some fertilisers
that were sold by the prosecutor to
defendant. His exoneration was eP-
pected.
