»1« YEAR
HEALTH BOARDS OF STATE
WILL BE COHFEflERATED
Or. J. C. Bloomfield, of This City, President of the
Board of Health of Athens, Originated the .Idea
Which Fruited in the Organization of State,
County and City Health Beards.
Conceived In the brain of an Ath
ens physlcan, who Is the president
of the board of health of this city, a
plan has been carried out for the pur
pose of effecting a confederation of
the health officers of Georgia—fie
state, county and city boards of
health and health officers. The story
of the formation of this organization
Is told In the dispatches from Rome,
where the doctors and the state
board of health are In session:
"Association Formed."
For the purpose of establishing a
medium of communication between
different organizations In Georgia,
for the exchange of ideas and expe
riences, and to wage a publlctly cam-
pagn la behalf of better health and
sanitation, "The Association of State.
County and Municipal Health Boards”
was formed here Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting, an enthusiastic one,
was attended by representatives
from all parts of the state, and many
Interesting features developed, dur
ing the session, which lasted from 3
to 6 p. m., at the courthouse.
Officers elected for the ensuing
gear are Dr. J. C. Bloomfield, Ath
ens, president; Dr. O. H. Weaver,,
Macon, vice president; Mr. A. V.
Wood, Brunswick, secretary. The
next meeting of the association will
be held at a place yet to he selected,
where the Medical Association of
Georgia meets, on the day previous
to that meeting.
The membership la composed of
active members of the state, county
and municipal health organzatlons.
Members of such organizations are
by virtue of that fact, members of
the association. New health boards
that are to be organized during the
year will be Invited to Join.
It was the concensus of opinion
that such an organization can and
will accomplish a great work In
Georgia. The gathering that put
the movement under way was a thor
oughly representative one, with
many members of the state board of
health, and representatives of var
ious county and inunlclpal boards
present, among them Ware county,
Darke county, Athena, Fitzgerald,
Floyd county. Rome, Atlanta and
others. .
Preceding the organisation sever
al addresses were made. Dr. Willis
F. Westmoreland spoVe ftrsL He
Is president of the state board of*
health. He gave an Interesting re
sume of the work of the board. He
stated that nil *the board had ac
complished had been done without
only effective agent Is a constant
watch upon the breeding places and
the treatment of these places with
a preparation, kerosene or something
similar, before the eggs are hatched.
Co-operation of the public Is neces
sary, tireless inspection, and system
atic work, including work duritlg the
winter.
Sanitary Education.
Dr. Howard J. Williams declared
that to arouse the interest and se
cure the co-opeatlon of the public was
one of the greatest problems of a
board of health. Upon health, muni
cipal prosperity depends. The health
department Is as important as the po
lice and fire departments, and de-
cerves as much co-operation. The
difficulty lies In the fact that the
trash pile, earth closet, garbage plan,
ur,drained yard, foul slntf, etc., are
intangible enemies whose work can-
nto be seen, but whose results are
disastrous.
The people should be taught that
the house fly. the mosquito, tainted
milk and impure food are dangerous.
Dr. Williams suggested the use of
the dally press, free lectures and
health magazine, either weekly or
less often, for free distribution.
What Municipalities Need.
Dr. J. C. Bloomfield, In an inform'-
al talk, characterized various needs
of the state as follows: More health
boards, a medium of communication
for the exchange of Ideas and expe
rience, a monthly bulletin to be sent
from the state board of health to
each health officer. Dr. Westmore
land stated that the publication of
such a bulletin would be started next
month.
Prof.' C. M. Strahan of the Univer
sity of Georgia, spoke along similar
lines.
The Rural Districts.
Dr. M. M. Johnson, county health
officer of Ware county, discussed the
relation of the health board and san
itation movement to the rural dis
tricts. He urged greater activity In
the warfare against preventable dis
eases, the mosquito, the fly. etc. fte
cited the Japanese war. In which Ja
pan eliminated disease as a factor
cf loss to her army. He predicted
that vaccination against typhoid
would soon be common In public
schools. He suggested as the best
agent physical examination of school
children, and their Instruction In mat
ters of health and hygiene, by "health
days,” lectures, etc.
Each of the papers was discussed
by those present and the meeting,
laws, ns existing statutes were not I besides being most Interesting and
worth the paper on which they were j instructive, promises to be rich la
written. In the beginning the board results,
was viewed with enmity or indiffer
ence by physicians, but finally gain
ed, since its organization In 1903,
the confidence and co-operation of
both profession and public.
The board had done this by not
attempting to accomplish things be
yond Its power. For Instance, no
attempt has been made to establish
a bureau of vital statistics. Poor
statistics are w-orse than none, good
ones would cost at least 850,000 per
snnum, and the physicians simply re
fuse to give these statistics. Dr.
Westmoreland stated that county
commissioners could elect county

tor of the city hall, who was Blabbed
and gashed on Clayton street several
Saturday nights ago In front of a
near beer saloon, died last night at
Dr. Born's sanitarium In Lynnwood
park.
He made a brave fight for life, bqt
his age was against him, and the na
ture of the Injuries Inflicted proved
too serious,
said that the surprise of the case was
that Mr. Ross had survived so long.
There were eye-witnesses to the cut
ting, alleged to have been done by
(he Mobley brothers, and it was not
deemed last night that an autopsy
was necessary—no coroner’s Investi
gation. of course, ftelng needful.
Funeral Arrangements.
Tile funeral services over the re
mains of Mr. Ross will occur Friday
morning at 10 o’clock from the Catho
lic church, the Interment to be at
Oconee cemetery. Mr. Ross Is sur
vived by his wife, four daughters and
three sons. His aged father and one
sister also are living.

tion of Mr. Ross being such as to
make his death probable at any time.
A special order of Judge Brand has
been Issued that all witnesses In tbs
case appear before the grand Jury
this morning at 9:30 o’clock promptly.
It Is planned to finish the work of
the grand Jury today and the sheriff

HIGH SCHOOL DELEGATES
Preparations Are Elaborate for Entertainment of the
Teachers and Students Who Wilt Attend Eighth
District High School Association There
on Friday and Saturday.
(Special to The Banner)
Klberton, April 19.—The homes of
Etbertonlani will hare to be opened
tc the visitors who will be attracted
to the city this week by the contests
In declamation, recitation, spelling.
The. doctor last nlghtt^^ re#4r wr | t , n(! and athleUci .
The one hundred 'and twenty-five
contestants who will participate In
the program arranged by Prof. H. B.
Bible, of Lavdnia, president of the
Eighth District High School Associa
tion, have already been provided
r.llh homes by the hosta of the asso
ciation. But these contestants, are
young folks, many of them glrla.
Their teachers, parents of some of
them, nnd chaperones for all of them,
wUll come to the city and will have
to have lodging and board. Besides
these each of the eonlestants has
partial friend* who believe that their
favorite will win the derision, and
who will come to see him win it. It
Is ssfe to estimate that a hundred
visitors, besides the actual contest
ants. will be In Klberton during tbe
rnnteala Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of this week.
Elberton Is one hotel short, caused
by the burning of the Hotel Roberts
a few weeks ago. The capacity of
the Gholston Inn Is taxed to accom
modate the regular commercial
travelers. These visitors should have
entertainment of the kind that will
have upon them an Impression cred
itable to Klberton and Its hospitable
people. This cannot be done without
the opening of our homes for their
entertainment.

WEDDING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Summerland, B. C„ April 19.—A
wedding of note here today was that
of Miss Vida Lois Cartwright, daugh
ter of Colonel and Mra. Robert Cart
wright. and granddaughter of Sir
Richard and lady Cartwright, and
Mr. Otto Zimmerman, formerly of
Hamilton, Ont., but now a resident
of this place.
Atlanta, April 19.—Governor-elect
Hoke SmlthjB I'lrd.’eptlve attitude”
toward the United Slates senator-
ship, has so impressed his friends
that they are now generally express
ing confidence not only In the appear
ance of his name before the legisla
ture, but In his election by that body.
At first It looked like a terrible
thing for a man just elected to the
governor's office, to want to lake the
senatorshlp, “first dash out of the
box,” and whirl * the people of the
state right Into the midst of another
election.
But now everybody has had aucb
a long time to think about It, that the
edge of popular feeling against anoth
er governor's election has been some
what dulled and many are viewing It
with comparative complaisance.
Governor Smith's friends now posi
tively expect his name to go before
the legislature for the senate, though
he still has to contend with the fact
that there are some of them who be
lieve at least, that It is to their In
terest to have him remain in the
governor's office.
Rsllroad Commissioner C. M. Can
dler's failure to put forth any formal
announcement, after having been
quietly at work for some two months,
feeling the pulse of his legislative
friends, Is regarded as one of the
most significant facts throwing light
upon prospective appearance of the
governor-elect In the senatorial ring.
Mr. Candler, as la well known, hat
always been one of Mr, Smith’*
strongest personal and political
friends, and hla Idea in getting Into
the race wai to hold up the Hoke
Smith end, in the event Mr. 8mith
himself did not go after the plum.
It la thought, Mr. Candler will
rock along as*'a tentative candidate,
ready to Jump In, In the event there
Is any hitch In the plan to put tbe
gcveroor-elect across the boards.
The significance of Commlsaloner
of Agriculture I 1 . G. Hudson’a state
ment at this time, that he will not
be a candidate to stioceeed himself,
lies In his reaching that conclusion
n full year'In advance of the real
opening of the 1912 campaign. Mr.
Hudson, It la well known, wants to
be governor; he is said to have been
working to that end for sometime.
It la not thought, however, that he
wopld have eliminated himself from
consideration for re-election to hla
present office thus far In advance, ex
cept for his belief In a possibility of
an election for governor shortly after
the legislature meets In June.
So It Is talen for granted that Mr.
Hudson mnst believe there -Is a de
eded possibility of Governor-elect
Hoke Smith's going to the senate.
Thus there Is every Indication, that
tbe race today Is between Senator
Jos. M. Terrell and Governor Smith.
Senator Terrell la plucklly winning
hla way back to health, spending his
time quietly at home here until there
Is occasion and necessity' for h!»
presence In Washington. He was to
have returned to Washington on
April 10, but received word from 8em
stor Bacon that there was no neces
sity for his coming at that time and
that he could postpone his return to
the capital until April 22, which he
111 do. Thla will give him atlll fur
ther opportunity to recuperate and
Senator Terrell feel* satisfied that he
will go back to Washington at that
time almost entirely recovered and
able to attend to all of his diiHea.
Senator Terrell Is taking a live
Interest In all that 1* going on In
Washington now. He la In constant I
correspondence with friend* there
and I* keeping fully potted an the
progress of events ss was Indicated
In hla recently published Interview.
Judge R. B. Russell of the state
court of appeals, takes exception lo
the recently published statement that
he Is “rlifht now" a candidate for
governor, and “la quietly busv with
hla campaign.”
Judge Russell admits that he has
an ambition to be governor of Geor
gia, and hopes at an early date to
see that ambition realized; bur. right
now the Judge lays he is giving close
attention to hls^dutle* on the court
of appeals bench, and la too busy
writing decisions to run s campaign
for governor or anything else.
Whether or not he will get Into the
next race, the judge does not say.
Hla attitude Just now toward the
governorship, la very much like that
of Hoke Smith toward the aenator-
ahlp—It la more or. less “receptive.”
But Judge Russell aaya when he de
cides, he will make It known In no
uncertain terms ard that he will go
to work In earnest
If Hoke 8mlth ahould aucceed In
winning the aenatorahlp. It le general-

Ir conceded that Hon. John M. Sla
ton will hare to be counted on at a
gubernatorial candidate. Mr SUton'a
re-election as president of the sen-
tie Is practically assured, hla friends
say, and If Governor Smith should re
sign to go the senate. It would de
volve upon Mr. Blaton to become
governor pro 'em, for a period of six
ty days until an election could be
held. If all of this should come
about, Jlr, S’aton's friends say there
It no quesl.oa about hla offering for
tbe office cf governor for tbe full
term.
One of the warmest races for
commissioner of agriculture the state
has known In many years. Is already
framing up. A ienst three candi
date*, and possibly four or five will
be heard from at various stage* of
the game, and It Ja likely that three
of them anyhow, will restaln to the
end.
The present line-up Is as follows:
Hon. J. D. Price of Oconee, well
known farmer and former state sen
ator from hla district.
Hon. J. J. Conner of Bartow, form
er legislator and ex-prealdent of th*
state agricultural society.
Captain R. F. Wright, assistant
commissioner of agriculture for th*
last twelve years, and a known aspir
ant for the position whenever Mr.
Hudson reached the conclusion that
he did not want It any more.
O. H. P. Martin of Elbert, has long
cast a covetous eye on this office,
but whether he will be In the run-
nlng Is not yet determined. There
are others who have talked of their
ambition In this direction, bnt wheth
er they have been scared off, remains
to be seen.
