CREEP SLOWLY PAST
How Dallas, Ga., City Council Forced
Southern Railway to Take Some
Notice of the Town.
(By John C Reese in Macon Telegraph )
Once not so long ago Southern
railway fast trains, north and
southbound scooted through Dal
las in Paulding county “without
hesitating,” but not any more.
“Flyers,” “limiteds,” “trains
de luxe,” and other crack and
palatial vestibuled trains,, rushing
shiveriug westerners to the sunny
land of Florida and south Georgia,
ignored Dallas and flashed by the
neat little yellow depot like a streak.
That sort of thing did not com
port with the ideas of the alert and
progressive folk in the Paulding
metropolis, so they began by kind
ly but firmly trying to show obdu
rate officials the necessity, the jus
tice and honor of stopping the fast
ones at the Dallas depot. But
obdurate officials remained adam
antine to such blandishments.
“By golly,” said the Dallasites,
“if you won’t do it by ordinary
means, then we’ll just fix you so
you can’t scoot your blooming
trains through our town same as if
it were a water tank or coalshoot.”
Thereupon the Dallas council
assembled in solemn conclave and
passed an ordinance requiring all
trains, fast or slow, through or
local, passenger or local, to just
crawl through town, if they didn’t
choose to stop long enough to see
the town and chat with the natives.
“it didn’t matter much that the
depot is on tha outer edge of the
town, where a few houses, a water
tank and the yellow depot was
about all to indicate that it should
be even a flag station. And to
make it a cinch that the new ordi
nance about “speeding in the city
limits” wasn’t violated in the
slightest degree, the town council
placed a constable on duty at the
depot.
Big Southern officials are a bit
peeved over having to jog-trot
limited trains through Dallas, but
better than pay heavy fines every
day. And Dallasites gather in
numbers as the fast ones become
due and chuckle contentedly as the
beautiful trains slow down and
softly crawl through town at a
snail’s pace. It compensates for
the insult.

“Last week a boy suffering withs

the case, yet they took special pains
never to mention it in the bearing of

THE CHINE SCULPTOR.
Thoughts From the Pres
■*^ rr
byterian Prayer Meet
ing, Feb. 12, 3:30 p. m.
By Elam Franklin Dempsey, B. D.
The story is told of Thorwalden,
the Danish sculptcr, that lie stood
before, his famous stature of The
Christ and wept. Being asketl what
caused his grief, he replied, “I shall
never again do a groat work. lam
satisfied with this work. T cannot
see how it could be improved. Nev
er before have I done a work with
which I have been entirely pleased.”
His prophecy proved true; he had
reached the end of his artistic pro
ductiveness.
What was true of the artist in
Thorwaldsen is true of the Christian,
also. When he is satisfied with his
approximation to Christ, he is a
failure as a Christian. There is in
the true Christian, a never-failing
desire for further growth in charac
ter. The nearer he conforms to
Christ, the farther he feels his dis
tance from the holiness in Ids Master.
He has a Divine contentment in his
Lord, but a divine discontentment
in his unlikeness to ids Lord.
Just as there was to the artist a
marble Christ in the block of stone,
so to the child of God there is a
Christ in the crude mass of himself.
And, as Thoswfddsen strove to shape
that stone into the sculptured Christ
so the Christian strives that Jesus
may be shaped into perfection ii
himself
What his genius was to Thowald
son, the Holy Spirit is to the child
of God. He gives us the vision ol
Christ. He shapes ‘'Christ in us the
hope of glory,” and, finally, He pre
sents us complete in Christ.
There is a beautiful poem by
Beoker, called ‘‘The Tvory Carver,”
which presents to us a striking pic
ture of what the Holy Ghost does in
the submissive Christian.
‘•Silently sat the artist alone,
Carving a Christ from the ivory
bone,
Little by little, with toil and pain,
He won his way r through the sight
less grain,
Which held and, yet hid, the
thing lie sought,
‘Till the work stood up a growing
thought.”
Many are the tools which ‘‘the
hold the Spirit” employs in this
process of sculpturing the Christian
out of the refractory elements of our
natures. But he is mightily patient
and with The Word, with prayer,
with joy, with sorrow, with provi
dence, with nature, with all the
play of forces from heaven, earth
and hell.—with tremendous toil, He
chisels us and polishes! us until hi
last, even in earth, the stature ol
Christ within may be seen.—Mil
ledgeville Union Recorder.

SCIENCE WORKING
TOCQNgUERTUNIORS
But So Far the 'Only Known Remedy
Is the Knife, Says the Georgia
State Board of Health.
Atlanta, Ga. —In the catalogue of
dlcokses the word “cancer," has al
ways been a nightmare to man. Nor
has medical science yet eliminated the
terror from it. Hut persistent scien
tific study in recent years has develop
ed some interesting and valuable fa,ets
regarding tumors of all classes, which
have served important purpose in
treating them.
The one important conclusion reach
ed by the most eminent medical scien
tists of Europe and America —and
this conclusion is Indorsed by the
Georgia State Board of Health —is
that the only remedy for cancer or
any tumor of the malignant sort, is
excision. Somewhere there exists,
possibly, a specific for tumors, but
science has not yet discovered It and
until it does, the only satisfactory
remedy for the tumor or cancer, is the
knife applied in its earliest stages.
Quack remedies, advertised speci
fics, are worse than useless, for they
allow time for the continued develop
ment of the disease, whereas excision
in early stages might mean a cure.
But even the knife is seldom effective
after a malignant tumor has made ex
tensive progress and spread itself
over a large area of the body.
Another interesting now undisputed
fact as to tumors, is that cancer Is
not caused by bacteria.
Tissue Running Riot.
The tumor, based upon attained
knowledge of its characteristics, may
perhaps be best described as flesh or
tissue running riot. The cells, or
smallest component parts, of a can
cerous growth are exactly the same iu
form and structure as those of the
normal and healthy tissue surround
ing them. ‘ A family of several sons
may live normally and rationally for
years, when suddenly one of them for
reasons perhaps Inexplicable, will de
velop wild tendencies and turn out a
vagabond and debauchee. So with the
tissues of the body, almost any one of
which, apparently without cause, may
become riotious and grow like a par
asite. The dangerous tumors come
usually past middle life, after a man
has reached the age of forty; and
they grow without form or purpose.
Medical science has classified tu
mors under many heads according to
where they make their appearance,
their nature and their condition. The
two larger classes are the epiblastic
and mesobastic tumors; the epiblastic
tumors occur on the outer lining of
the body, anywhere on its surface, or
on the mucous membrane lining, the
mouth, gullet, stomach and intestines,
which is simply a continuation of the
outer lining; and the mesoblastic tu
mors occur in the inner or connective
tissues, in the muscles, fatty tissues,
bones, cartilages, blood vessels, lymph
vessels and glands.
Both classes are divided again Into
“benign” and “malignant” tumors ;
the former being those of milder from
often not considered dangerous, and
the second being very dangerous and
likely to result in death unless effec
tively removed. All malignant tumors
are cancers in common parlance.
Benign tumors of the first-class are
known as adenoma, when they origi
nate from a gland such as the breast,
the liver, the pancreas and others, and
as papilloma when they orginate from
the skin. The danger in tumors of
this sort, especially in case of-the
adenoma, is that they are liable to de
velop into the malignant type, or
cancer. A small and apparently inof
fensive tumor of the breast may easi
ly become a cancer, or carcinoma, the
name given to malignant tumors of
the first-class originating in the
glands. Malignant tumors of this
class originating frbm the skin are
known as epithelioma.
These malignant tumors of the
first class are the most common forms
of cancer and occur usually in per
sons past forty years of age. They
are spread by the lymph vessels of
the body, and when the operation is
performed for their removal, exceed
ing care lias to he taken to remove any
lymph vessels and any nearby lymph
glands which might contain the cells
from which anew growth would set
up. For example, in removing a can
cer of the breast,, It, is necessary to
take out the lymph gland in the arm
pit and the lymph vessels leading to it.
Mesoblastie tumors of the “benign”
class are numerous and take their
names from the various tissues in
which they occur, such as flbromd
from fllbrous tissue, lipoma from fat
tissue, osteoma from hone tissue, my
oma from muscle tissue and so on.
Mesoblastie tumors, all of which oc
cur in the inner or connective tissue,
when malignant, are spread entirely by
blood vessels. They are Irregular and
formless masses of cells similar to
the cells of surrounding tissue.
It Is the malignant tumors of this class
that are among the most dangerous
of all new growths. These are known
as sarcoma, and all arise from some
of the tissues below the skin. They
are supplied by the hood vessels.
There are many varieties, depending
on the size and shape of the cells,
and thy occur at any age. In
creasing in frequency slowly as a
person grows older.
The Importance cannot b too
strongly stressed of the prompt re
moval by a surgeon of known and un
questioned ability, of any tumor as
soon m it has been diagnosed.
