WHIPPLE Attorney-at-Law Huggins Building Hawkinsville, Georgia COURTESY: 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.

Hearst of fers $50,000 for a flight in a heavier than-air machine from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The announcement ap peared in The American. Mr. Hearst offers a special prize of 150,000 to sry aviator who, within one year, flies from the Atlantic sea board at Boston or New York to the Pacific coast at Los Angeles or San Francisco, or, reversing the direction, from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast, starting and finishing at either of the cities named.

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.

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.

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.” Get the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.
