Is It Too Late
Even in 1977?
“In the year of 1825 the
treaty was made by the
whites and William Mcln
tosh, chief of the Creek
Indians, that ceded all the
land west of the east bank of
the Ocmulgee River to the
east bank of the Chattahoo
chee. including the City of
Mclntosh (Indian Springs).
Here Mclntosh, seeing the
value of the medicinal waters
of the little spring, donated a
thousand acres, in the center
of which the spring is
located, forever to the
whites.
The Indians came to the
Springs in great numbers to
be present and to receive
their money but they did not
agree with their chief about
the transfer. One of their

lesser chiefs mounted a big
rock near the Varner House
and with fiery words warned
Mclntosh, who was sitting
just inside a window where
he could hear all that was
said, that in less than thirty
moons his life would pay the
forfeit.
True to this threat these
same redskins surrounded
Mclntosh’s house near the
Chattahoochee River and,
capturing him, planned to
burn him alive and, but for
the pleadings of his wife,
would have carried out their
designs. She told them that
he was an Indian, like
themselves, and if they
would kill him anyway; to kill
him like a man and not burn
him like a dog, and they shot
him to death and I learn that
his grave was never marked
more than with a little rock.
Now, I think it would be
fitting that his remains
should be removed to Indian
Springs and be buried near
his old home and the springs
that he loved so well.” D. J.

Just A Smile
The thing that goes the
farthest
In making life worth while,
Costs the least and does the
most
Is just a pleasant smile.
It’s full of worth and
goodness, too,
With a hearty kindness blent;
It’s worth a million dollars
And it doesn’t cost a cent.

Chero-Cola Plant
Moves to Second St.
The Jackson Chero-Cola
Bottling Company has just
moved into its new brick
building on Second Street.
The plant is now one of the
most sanitary and up-to-date
in this section.
The company will feature
and push Chero-Cola but will
also manufacture soda
waters and ginger ale.
This company uses an auto
truck for delivering its goods,
and in that way is able to get
to all its customers in quick
time and can cover much
territory in a day’s run.

City Will Have
Car Service Soon
Jackson will soon have
street cars.
Arrangements are now
being made to put a car on
the track on Third Street.
The gasoline motor car has
arrived and will be operated
the first time the last of this
week or the first of next

For the present the car will
be run between the depot and
the business part of the city
and only passengers will be
hauled. Later freight will be
taken on, it is said.
Street cars have been
talked of for Jackson for
several years and the track

Bible From Appomattox
Shown at County Fiar
One of the objects of
interest shown at the County
Fair was a very old Bible,
picked up on the battlefield at
Appomattox where General
Lee surrendered to Grant in
1865. It is owned by County
School Superintendent C, S.
Maddox, who was with Lee’s
army when the curtain was
rung down on the Confed

TRACKING DOWN
COUGH CONTROL
Most horses in the United
States today are kept for
sports-related activities—
racing, jumping, rodeos, or
just pleasure riding. Many
animals in competition will
follow “the circuit” withing
their specialty and are
moved from track to track or
show to show. They are
stabled in a series of barns
next to different neighbors.
In such situations, respira
tory disease is easily passed
from horse to horse; in fact,
one major respiratory infec
tion is actually called race
track cough.
Race track cough (more
technically, tracheopharyn
gitis) is generally caused by
a viral infection of the upper
respiratory tract. In a typical
track environment, it is quite
contagious, working its way
from barn to barn.
Symptoms include fever
(102 degrees-106 degrees F.),
loss of appetite, and a dry,
hacking cough that can last
10 to 16 days or longer. The
cough is aggravated if the
animal is exercised, or
becomes excited. Sometimes
a light touch on an affected
horse’s throat will induce
coughing.
At this time, there is no
product to specifically con
trol race track cough.
Antibiotics are commonly
used to prevent secondary
bacterial infection, but they
are ineffective against virus
es and the primary symptom
—the cough. Even when
treated with anitbiotics,
horses are generally with
drawn from training and
competition for 21 days to
prevent recurrence of symp
toms.
A recent report in a
veterinary journal described
a severe outbreak of race
track cough affecting 1,000
out of 1,800 horses stabled at
a major track in Florida,
threatening to shorten the
racing program there. A
vaccine for another equine
respiratory disease (rhino
pneumonitis) was adminis-
tered to try to control the
outbreak, since chronic
cough is one of the signs of
equine rhinopneumonitis.
A sampling of 40 horses
stabled at various bams
around the track were chosen
for the study. Seventeen
horses already showing signs
of infection were vaccinated;
23 in apparent good health
were vaccinated as a
precaution and allowed to
remain in contact with
affected stablemates.
The results were very
encouraging. Sixteen of the
17 previously infected horses
responded well to the
vaccine, and resumed train
ing in 3 to 4 days, much
sboner than the average 21
days recuperation period.
TW’enty-one of the 23 vac
cinated before developing the
disease showed no signs of
race track cough at all.
These results and analysis
of blood samples from the
horses in the study showed a
strong relationship between
equine viral rhinopneumoni
tis (EVR) and the presence
of race track cough. Since
EVR affects over 95 percent
of the horses in the United
States at some time during

their lives, you might want to
discuss preventive vaccina
tion for your horse with your
veterinarian. Vaccination
can:
-protect horses in competi
tion from the additional
strain of combating a
respiratory infection,
-reduce the time that a
horse cannot compete,
-prevent the possibility of
abortion of pregnant mares
when unprotected horses
returning from competition
introduce EVR virus into the
home stable.
Overall, preventive vac
cination with an EVR
vaccine is a sound economic
investment for owners of
horses in competition.
