NEW TREATMENT PROPOSED
FOR CON SUMPTION;
Local physicians of New Orleans,
are interested in the experiments
made on consumptives at Monroe
Louisiana many cases there said to
have linen benefited! if not /wholly
relieved by a diet of odttou seed
product. The Times Democrat is,
authority for the statement that phy-
aioians generally are taking muoh
interest in the claim that is being
made.i hat cotton seed meal and cot
ton seed oil are valuables in the
treatment ot oases of consumption.
Dr. 0. T- Hines, of Monroe, La. ,
U an ardent ohampion of the new
treatment, and he makes no secret of
his faith in the efficiency of ootton
seed. '
Writibg to a phyoian in Texas,
Dr. Hines stated that the discovery
that ootton seed oil was of value iu
the treatment of tubrculosis was ac
cidental. A negro working in the
cotton seed oil mill at Monroe had
been treated for cousuraptiou. Ho
had not improved upon <the treat,
ment that is usUally furnished. He
went to 'Work in the oil mill, accord
ing to the statement of Dr. Hines,
and there found that the dust made
his breathing muoh more difficult,
and this caused him to drink some
of the OiPsh’d this he found relieved
his breathing somewl. at.
The oil acted as a substitute for
food and the negro began to fatten,
and the course of a few months was
strong and healthy. He was exam
ined,and it was found that all traoes
of tuberculosis had left him aud he
Was in a healthy condition. The
cotton seed oil had furnished nour
ishment for the body and had given
him strength and vigor, which had
overcome the disease.
The result w$t!h the jegro was a
revelation to thedbCtdrS at Monroe,
and to thoroughly test the efficiency
of the treatment, they began using
it, and one fifth cases upon whioh
they have experimented, it ib assett
ed, they have had the greatest suc
cess in accomplishing cures, espec
lally in cases that have not entered
the last stages. In one ease in par
ticuliir, whioh had been to New Or-
leans for treatment and returned
without being benefited, where the
Sputa showed the tuberoulat bacills,
and there was every evidence of a
Well developed case of consumption,
it is claimed, a cure was effected. In
adopting thb cotton seed oil to the
practice they have used the usual
dose of creosote, which has been
long < sed in all forms of treatment
for consumption.
VACCINATION IN HOUSTON. FOR THE WOMEN
The topic of the evening in IIous- j This paper will publish a rories of
ton county is vaccination. Some-j'letters for the women ini the spring
‘and summer, one a wee|t for 20
Weeks. It is not a continued story,
but different subjects Covering the
body in that county bad a fever blis-i
ter last fall and the board of health
Called the state hoard in oonsulta-
tion on the subject of smallpox-;
The outgo -Mid income of the' meet-
Was an order for,the compulsory vac
cination of ; . every n^n, woman : and
ohild in the county. To refuse to lay

recent invention. Vaccine and vi
rus Were unknown until a ieW years
ago. Then the great question is,
why the smallpox has nut taken
the oohAlry ,''tb'ihe bone ya^d long
years ago? Science, the
bear of the country, is making a
desperate cltoYi to displace common
sense, aided and abetted by mCn in
authority who kuow ffiore about
otbios add technicalities than thtjy
do about oat nip-and sage tea. There
is more Buffering and corruption and
limbs 'sawed off from vaooination
than from smallpox. The people as
a r ule fire indignant and will’not lay
their arms on the blook. An order
for all the jay birds to leave the
oou|itry;or thoviegroes to gb'to Af-
nca would be about as sensible and
uearly as quickly obeyed. Compul-
orV fadcinfitibu is entirely imprac
tical in as large a plaee as Houston
county, and those who issued the
order have probably been rewarded
by having their praises rung by the
silvery tongue of men higher up
the ladder who fork out the offices
and hand them down to men who
prove themselves highest above the

Thq deepestquestion that has ev
er been before the Congress of the
United States, is ‘the digging of the
Panama oanal. The Isthmus of
Panama is'a narrow'strip of laUd 471
miles tvidb oehnooting North Amer-
ioa and South Amerioa bolow Mex
ico. A ship on oUe sidwof the Isth
mus now desiring to get Ontlfe oth
er side must travel 8,000 miles, and
it may take two weeks to get around.
If the big ditch was there, ships
could pass from the Atlantio over
to the Paoifio in a few hours and
save millions of dollars in expenbive
travel. But to dig the ditoh is am
other question. Shrewd surveyors
hive looked out the ground and re
ported. One says it can bo dug fob
$20,000,000, the same, sum.that the
Philippine Islands cost us. Anoth
er ^iliek dudk^'who wants a job, says
60,000 n?en can dig tho canal in fivo
years. At ainy rate it }aja big .job,1

Tne little town of Sycamore in

Of all the waste of ohairity among
the greatest is the feeding of tramps
that so commonly travel the rail
roads. There is no excuse whatever
for a man to be a tramp in this
'country. A man able to walk, is
able work, and to feed his is an in
dulgence to indolence, encourage
ment to uselessness in man. Why
not women tramps? Women are.
said to be weaker and more helpless
than men, yet all the tramps we see
are able-bodied men.
ing black monsiaoho, ofime here last

On Monday morning of.-last week he;
rented a horse and wagon from Mr.
Water’s stables to. go out in the
country to buy wool, hides and the
like, and said he would be gone
three days. A week later, Mr.
Waters got a letter from him dated
at Montezuma and mailed on the
Knoxville & Marietta railroad, stat
ing that the horse and wagon were in
the stable in Montezuma, and to
send for it and colleot all damages,
as he was at the Greer hotel not very
Well in Vienna, and in the letter his
name Was J. H. White. Dtiritag the
time he was off with the wagon, a
man filling the disoription of this
man, went about collecting feathers
for renovation, olaiining that his
renovator was located at Findlay.
He got a bed from Mr. Henry MaSh-
burn and one from Mr. Andrew Wil
liams. At cne place his name was
Cox, at the other, Thomas, and an
other Brown. At last aocounts the
beds had not been returned. There
was no suoh a maohine at Findlay
aud no Greer hotel in Montezuma.
He left the wagon in Montezuma
Thurday night about 11 o'olook and
was not seen there again. An effort
is being -made to get him. to visit
this county again.
The report that frost was two
inches thick last Friday morning, is

Every year the farmers are look
ing more and more to the bay crop
as a feed stuff. Not many years
ago the. grass pastures were allowed
to muture and be burnt off in the
winter. Now the grass is sometimes
r eaped for hay, and is worth as
much as a cotton crop from the
same land. Land broken up and.
harrowed in the spring will make a
good hay crop, aDd will make better

ing.

The firm of J. S. Betts & Co., at

A good farmer who can see as far
into a grindstone as the man who
made it is of the opinion that it
would be a good thing for the trans
gressors as .well as the highways to
work the convicts of the county on
the public roads. He says enough of
convicts are sent up from the courts
of Dooly county to work the roads
handsomely. Then, he ssys, it
would have a goad effeot on the evil-
en cline youngsters here among us.
Those not yet into chains could see
the embarrassment of the safely
landed ones, hear of the strappings
they get, and know of their close
confinement and want to stay out.
He mentioned the Houston county
case, in which the county ran so
deeply in debt, and recalled that the
number of convicts ran so low in
that county that it did not pay to
keep them. Since the roads of
Dooly have muddied the minds of
the people, and the people nave mud
died the roads, we would like to
have the convict system tried here
for a year or two just to see how it
would work.
