The use of Latin by physicians in prescription writing is usually regarded as a harmless survival of mediaevalism. In comment ing on a recent note to this effect in a daily paper, which advocates the compulsory use of English in prescriptions, the Druggists' Cir cular and Chemical Gazette takes occasion to make a strong defense of the time honored practice. Says this paper: Suppose the sapient writer Quoted whose utterances may sound alright to those who know ’no more of his subjects than he does, should fall sick and his physican should decide that the one thing needful to save his life was Geranium robertianum. Suppose he chose “redshanks” and so wrote the word in his prescription. When the druggist went to prepare the medicine he would find that ‘redshanks’ was the English names of at least four entirely different plants. Of snakeroots there are other kinds. Suppose the English writ ing doctor wanted to be sure of getting the right kind so specified black snakeroot. Vote for water and light bonds, and for school bonds to-day. Now is the time to stand by the develop ment and future prog ress of our town. October 6th, 1906. Douglas, Ga., October 6th, 1906. Our Farmers Should Grow A Variety. Almost every crop of value to our farmers in stock raising or for supplying the markets at home and abroad, can be raised m the Ssuth in better paying quantities than anv part of the country. And yet they coniine the cultivation of farm products to a few of many that are raised. To say nothing of cotton, sugar rice and heavy shipping tobacco, of which they have a monopoly of all grown in this country, they should have hogs to sell, instead of the millions of dollars’ worth they annually buy: instead of paying hundreds of millions of dollars for bacon, pork and lard, they can raise enough to feed the entire American people: instead of paying enormous sums for the thousands upon thousands of horses and mules every year, they can be raised at less cost in the South than anywnere else, enough to supply both home and forign demand. All of this has been demonstrated time after time with these facts understood, we go on making slow progress. When will this stop ? Any time the farmers say the word. Mem phis New- Scimitar. Mr. G. W. Deen, general man ager of the Deen Realty and Im provement Co., was in town one day this week. See their big add for a sale at Nichols. Mr. Deen is doing more towards the de velopment of his section of the state than any other one man in it, and it would be of great help if other monied men of our sec tion would follow Mr. Deen’s example. He is making money ?>ut of this and at the same time s doing good for his country. Oar Popular Solicitor. Col. Dickerson, of Douglat at tended city court here yesterday and paid us a pleasant call. Mr. Dickerson is one of the brightest young lawyers in South Georgia. —Fitzgerald Enterprise. Col. Dickerson is one of on* - best lawyers and we think that now would be a good time to suggest that he be elected as Solicitor-General of this circuit at the next election. He makes a good officer and would be amply able to take care of this import ant office, if he were elected. That would not be doing as well as his partner, Col. Lankford, but under the circumstances, this would be the next best thing and we believe that the people this circuit would be pleaded with this choice. Rude Haste. They were on their honey moon. He had bought a catboat i and had taken her out to show ; her how well he could handle a boat, putting her to tend the sheet. A puff of wind came, ; and he shouted in no uncertain j tones, “Let go the sheet!” No response. Then again, “Let go 'that sheet, quick!” Still no 1 movement. A few minutes af ter, when both were clinging to the bottom of the overturned boat, he said: “Why didn’t you let go that sheet when I told you to, dear?” “I would have,” said the bride, “if you had not been so rough about it. You ought to speak mor<i kinder to your wife. ” —New York Evening Post. Buy your fresh meats from Hammond.
