STABILITY;
X-RAY TO CURE PARALYSIS
New Treatment That the Medical
Profession Asserts Is of Ex
treme Benefit.
It Is well known that paralysis of
nil kinds is extremely difficult to treat
successfully, and that Indeed most
cases of paralysis remain “chronic”
throughout the lives of those afflicted
in this way. Recently, however, ex
periments have been carried out to
see if the X-rays may not be able to
exert some curative influence on the
spinal cord in cases where paralysis
is due to disease thereof, and as a
matter of fact the application of the
X-rays to the back (so as to influ
ence the spina! cord), has been found
to bring about great improvement in
several cases of disease of the kind
under consideration. Most of these
Investigations have been carried out
on the continent, but one or two nerve
specialists in London have been carry
ing out the treatment, and the writer
recently had an opportunity of see
ing a spinal disease (known to doc
tors as syringomyelia) which was ap
parently getting well under the X-ray
treatment. But it must be understood
that these experiments, which if suc
cessful will open up an entirely new
field of "incurable" diseases to the
X-rays, are still in a very elementary
stage, and some time must elapse be
fore the exact scope of X-ray treat
ment in this direction can be defined
for the public benefit.
The Code of the Air.
The rapid progress of the art of
aerial navigation has turned atten
tion to the necessity of establishing a
“law of the road” for aeroplanes as
soon as experience shall have shown
what its main provisions should be.
Already, say those who are most inter
ested in such legislation, at least one
source of avoidable danger has been
discovered. Several recent accidents
have shown that one aeroplane can
not safely pass close above another,
for the currents produced are liable
to cause the under machine to break
from control and plunge downward. It
was in this way that the aeronaut
Rawlinson, at Nice, suddenly found
himself plunged into the sea. A rival
flyer had, unnoticed by him, passed
over his head. He did not discover
until later what had caused his sud
den mishap. In another case an aero
plane, flying over another which was
rolling across the ground preparatory
to flight, was overturned by the cur
rent from the passing machine.
Reflected Fame.
An automobile that participated in
a recent parade carried three little or
phans from one of the asylums, three
sisters, who enjoyed every phase of
the ride.
The driver in the effort to entertain
his passengers pointed out various
places of interest along the way.
“There," he said, “is the house
where Tom Johnson lived."
But the little girls received the
statement with blank faces.
“Why, you must have heard of Tom
Johnson?” persisted the driver. “He
was mayor of the city many years.
Mayor Tom Johnson.”
But there was no response.
Presently, however, the oldest girl
pulled the driver’s sleeve.
“Please, mister,” she asked, “is he a
brother of Jack Johnson?”—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

FERMI M.LEIIN
HAS HEN ISSUED
TWO HUNDRED MILLION VALUE
OF GEORGIA CROP ACCORDING
TO AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT.
FARMERS WILL BE SUPPLIED
Commissioner Hudson Congratulates
Farmers on the Fine Cotton
in Year of 1909.
Atlanta. —The state department of
agriculture has just issued its yearly
bulletin on commercial and
chemicals, which a corps of clerks
arc now kept busy mailing out to the
farmers over the state, and Commis
oner Hudson states that he would be
glad to supply anyone with a copy
who will write him.
The hook is issued as serial No. 52,
and is possibly one of them ost com
prehensive that has ever been gotten
out by the department before. It
contains 42 more pages than any oth
er previous issue and the analytical
tables are more carefully gotten up
and more thoroughly worked out than
before.
"We have sold 1,000,000 tans
against about 800,000 last year. Next
year, we expect to get the bulletin
out sooner owing to the fact thtft the
last legislature provided an appro
priation for additional chemists to as
sist in the large volume of work which
we have to do and which is increasing
on us.”
The book contains a copy of the fer
tilizer law, rulings by the commis
sioner interpreting the new law, re
port of the state chemist and several
pages of remarks by the commission
er which are exceedingly interesting
reading to the agriculturalist.
In the lead of these remarks the
commissioner says:
“it is a pleasure to congratulate
the farmers of Georgia on the cotton
year of 1909, the best that Georgia
has ever known, so far as the money
value of the cotton crop is concerned,
which according to the government re
port, published on June 15, 1910,
erached the splendid total of $148,040,-
000, of which amount $125,770,000
came from the lint and $22,270,000
from the cotton seed.
The value of the entire cotton crop
of the 11 cotton producing states was
$812,090,000 of which $688,350,000 was
from the lint, while the cotton seed
brought $123,740,000. Georgia's worth
was nearly one-fifth of that of the
entire crop of the cotton states. Ac
cording to Hester’s report, issued
August 31, 191, the value of the lint
cotton, up to that time was $778,-
894,095 and of the cotton seed $123,-
740,000 —a total of $902,634,095. Es
timating Georgia’s proportion of the
additional amount at the same figure,
enarly one-fifth, the value of her en
tire crop, including the cotton seed,
for the year ending August 31, 1910,
closely approximates $177,000,000.
ATLANTA IS PREPARING
TO HOLD CORN SHOW
Atlanta. —Atlanta is preparing to
hold a big corn show, possibly during
Thanksgiving week of November, af
ter most all of the other cities of the
state and counties have held their
own local fairs.
The event will be held in the audi
torium-armory, which is amply big
Enough for the large number of ex
hibits which will be transferred here
from the other fairs. The chamber
pf commerce has the show in charge
p.nd the co-operation of the State Col
j |ege of Agriculture, the department of
agriculture, the state experiment sta
tion, the Farmers’ union, and the
jstate agricultural society will be ask
ed to assist in the work of making
the show a great success.
Prizes will be offered for the best
average results at the various local
corn shows and probably for the best
exhibits from each congressional dis
trict. Encouragement will be given
to every section and part of the state
and the lectures and instruction giv
en will be toward a stimulation of the
Study of agriculture in the different
grammar schools.
The contract for the new jail at
Wrightsville has been awarded to the
Pauley Jail company of St. Louis.
The improvements will cost about
$2,700.
The Red Cross seals have been or
dered. The forces for their sale and
distribution are being organized. Ev
erything will be ready in time for
Christmas orders. Every citizen of
Georgia will be given a chance to help
the campaign against tuberculosis by
the purchase of these Christmas seals.
They are to be sold all over the
state.
The Francis S. Batrow chapter, U.
D. C., has arranged to make October
14 a notable date in the history of
Waycross, that being the day set for
the unveiling of the handsome monu
ment which they will to the
Confederate veterans. The principal
aaddress will be made by Hon. Hoke
Smith, who will be entertained while
in the city by Dr. G. P. Folk 3. Invita
:ions have been extended to the vari
)us public organizations of the city
ind county to take part in the exer- j
lises. j
GEORGIA RAILROAD OFFICIALS
CONFERRING WITH FIREMEN
Atlanta. —Just how far negotiation?
between Vice President Kelly of the
railway firemen, and General Mana
ger Scott of the Georgia railroad have
gone regarding a new contract v 'or
wages for the englnemen and firemen
is not yet known. The officials -ere
holding conferences and it is believed
that a satisfactory adjustment will
be made. The contract made with
the firemen just a year ago ha 3 ex
pired and the officials are now trying
to reach a contract for another year.
The contract made a year ago, a 3 will
be recalled, followed the strike of
last spring. The employes are now
said to be asking for greater conces
sions than those made under the old
contract. Firemen and enginmen are
paid a per cent, of what the engin
eers on the machines receive. That
per cent, varies in all sections of the
country. On the Southern the fire
men get 60 per cent, of the pay of the
engineer. The Western and Atlantic
road pays firemen 58 per cent, as does
the Louisville and .Nashville. On the
Georgia road the percentage is much
less, ranging from 50 per cent. down.
WESTERN UNION WINS
TAX CASE AGAINST STATE
Atlanta. —The United States circuit
court of appeals in an opinion render
ed by Judge Don A. Pardee declared
the state of Georgia had no right to
exact from the Western Union Tele
graph company any tax uper. the val
ue of its tranches, thus reversing
Judge Newman of the circui court of
northern Georgia.
Attorneys for the state w *ll appeal
the case to the United States Su
preme court.
When the franchise tax act was
passed by the Georgia legislature in
1902 declaring all franchises exer
cised in Georgia to be property sub
ject to taxation, as other property,
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany declined to comply with the
law, basing its refusal upon the fact
that it had complied with the post
roads act of congress of 1866, which
enabled it to construct its lines and
do business in all the states of the
union without the necessity of any
state franchise, and that therefore
any franchise conferred by the state
of Geoi gia was mere surplusage and
of no value.
UNIQUE DIVORCE SUIT
IN ELBERT COUNTY
Elberton.—Learning that the hus
band whom for thirteen years she had
believed to be dead was still living,
and had a wife and children in New
Mexico, Mrs. Ella Bowers of this place
has separated from her second hus
band, M. V. Badwell, to whom she
was married two years ago, and has
filed a suit for divorce and alimony
from her first husband in the Supe
rior court of this county.
In 1895 Mrs. Bowers alleges her
husband left her, going to Tennessee,
and that for a time he wrote to her,
but at gradually increasing intervals
until finally his letters ceased coming
altogether. For a number of years
she sought to locate him until two
years ago, believing Bowers to be
dead, she married again.
Now that she has found that Bow
ers is still alive and is about to re
ceive a share of his father's SIOO,OOO
estate, she has applied for divorce
and alimony.
GROWERS OF TOBACCO
OUT WITH SYNDICATE
Climax. —Relations between local
tobacco growers and the tobacco syn
dicate are growing strained and there
is considerable feeling over the situ
ation here. One day this week at a
meeting of farmers, newspaper men,
lawyers and bankers at Attapulgus an
association was formed for the pur
pose of amicably adjusting the dif
ferences between the growers and the
syndicate, if possible.
It is not generally understood, but ;
it is a fact nevertheless that condi- j
tions similar to those in the tobacco
growing sections of Kentucky and j
Tennessee exist now in parts of Geor- ]
gia and Florida.
Rumors come of barns being burn
ed and tobacco destroyed. So far this
has been the only sort of violence
reported and it is hoped that the or
ganization formed at Attapulgus will
prevent anything of this or of a more
serious nature in the future.
Now that Atlanta has secured the
next National convention on Good
Roads it will be necessary to raise
SIO,OOO as expenses. It was announc
ed that no attempt would be made to
secure the money necessary until af
ter the adjournment of the Conserva
tion congress.
Atlanta polities are at fever heat.
Supporters of both Winn and Wood
ward, candidates for mayor, are leav
ing on stone unturned to elect their
elader. While the chances are in fa
vor of Winn, Woodward is making a
strong fight.
A committee of representative busi
ness men of Macon w r ill go again af
ter the railway officials of the lines
touching Macon with a view of secur
ing their attention upon some plans
for depot improvements. A fair effort
will be made to convince the railway
officials both of the Central and the
Southern that there is great need of
a union passenger station here. There
are other lines that will have to be
consulted, but ?t is believed that their
agreements will be easily reached.
The Committee has been named.

His Inalienable Right.
When Willie goes to school next
week he will have a new teacher.
The new teacher will like Willie
when she begins to know him, but the
process may take several terms.
Willie’s teacher began to like him
just before the close of the school
year, and she testified to her affection
by offering him a pocketknife.
“There, Willie,” she said, “you have
tried so hard to be a good boy that I
am going to give you this nice four
bladed pocketknife—but you must
promise me never to cut the school
furniture with it.”
“Take it back, teacher,” said Willie,
sadly.—Cleveland Plaindealer.

DAME NATURE HiNTs'
When the Food is Not Suited.
When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says:
"For years I could not safely eat any
breakfast. I tried various kinds of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
“A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. I shall never regret taking
his advice. I began using them three
months ago.
“The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. I now have no more
of the distressing sensations in ray
stomach after eating, and I never have
headaches. I have gained 12 pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
“Grape-Nuts make a delicious as
well as a nutritious dish, and I find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms.”
“There's a Reason.”
