Curative Power of
Sulfanilamide
Sulfanilamide come* nearer bring
a chemical agent that will destroy
all type? of bacteria in the human
body than any agent yet diacovered.
Dr. Roy R. Kracke, professor of
pathology at Emory University, told
the Atlanta Rotary Club.
Scientist* long have been search
ing for such an agent, he pointed
out The thought they had it when
they discovered quinine. They
thought they had it when they de
veloped other preparations, but it
remained for sulfanilamide to meet
the test* adequately, he said.
Reviewing the history of the drug,
Dr. Kracke said it actually was de
veloped a* a chemical in 1908. It
originally wa* intended to be used
for dyeing cloth. As early as 1918
it was shown the drug would kill
bacteria, but its possibilities gener
ally were overlooked.
The first realisation of its value
for killing bacteria came in 1932, he
explained. Sulfanilamide wa* used
in Germany about three years be
fore it was introduced into Great
Britain and the United States. It
was patented on Christmas of 1932,
the professor pointed out.
The speaker said the drug is ef
fective in treating all types of in
fdrtions caused by hemolytic strep
tococcus, tonsilitis, middle ear and
blond stream infections, meningitis
artd gonococcus infections.
KELLY WEDS KELLY;
BEST MAN, KELLY;
MINISTERS. KELLYS
Ayrshire, lowa.—lt was a great
day for the Kellys.
Misg Vivian Kelly was married
here Tuesday to Clayton Kelly, of
Rockwell City, lowa.
Bridesmaid wa* Maurine Kelly,
sister of the bride, and best man was
Robert Kelly, brother of the groom.
The marriage was performed by
the Rev. John S. Kelly, of Denver,
and the Rev. John J. Kelly, of
Graettinger, lowa, read the nuptial
mass.
The reception was given by the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Kelly.
And the account of all this was
submitted by County Correspondent
John B. Kelly, who added he was
"no relation.”
LUCKY DREAM
Mrs. Henry Odum, well known
Covington lady, tells the following:
“My parents lived in “The Old
Toliver Home” in south Atlanta in
1890. The old house was a rambling
two-story building with steps ALL
around its front.
My mother was sewing one day.
The next day she came out on the
porch, sat down and could not find
her gold thimble. This thimble was
an heirloom. The entire family be
gan a thorough search to no avail.
Weeks passed, then one afternoon
my mother took an after-dinner
nap. She abruptly sprang from the
bed, ran to the porch and exclaimed,
“I dreamed my gold thimble rolled
into a little knot-hole on the third
step. See if there is a hole there."
We looked, and sure enough the
knot-hole was there—and sure
enough the gold thimble shone
brightly jn the darkness!”
EXCUSE
The husband and wife had finish
ed a big meal in the swanky restau
rant. A check for $9.40 was pre
sented, and the husband suddenly re
membered that he had left his wallet
at home.
The waiter summoned the proprie
tor. And when the proprietor ar
rived, the husband explained the
situation.
"1 must have left my wallet in
my other suit,” he asserted. "Can
you wait until I go home for the
money? I’ll leave my wife here ns
security.”
The proprietor coughed slightly.
“I beg your pardon,” he suggested,
“but haven’t you a ring or a watch
that you can leave as a deposit in
stead?"
The husband looked up angrily.
“Sir,” he demanded, “are you in
sinuating that my wife isn’t worth
$9.40?”
The proprietor bowed deeply.
"Not at all,” he murmured. “But
I already have a wife!” . . .
The family of four or five requires
a refrigerator with at least six cubic
feet of space. Seven cubic feet is
even better. When selecting a re
frigerator choose one large enough
to store fruits and vegetables as
well as meats and dairy products.
Casual As A Tea-Party
Another important chapter in
aviation history was written when
the Atlantic Clipper, carrying 18
newspaper and radio reporter*, in ad
dition to officers and crew to the
number of 12, made the flight from
New York to Lisbon in a few minu
tes less than 24 hours, with an inter
vening rest period of an hour and 11
minutes at Horla, the Azores.
The flight followed soon after the
trial trip of the Yankee Clipper,
which carried mail, but no passeng
ers, and is to be followed within the
next ten days by a regular service in
which mail and passengers will be
carried.
Radio tran: mission has been per
fected to a point where it seemed
the ordinary routine to listen in
while reporter* on board the air
plane gave detailed accounts of the
flight, which came in, for the most
part, with startling clearness.
These reports, and others which
have come in since the big plane
landed in the Tagus, en route to
Great Britain, have stressed the fact
that there was nothing dramatic in
the flight. It was "as casual as a
tea-party,” we are told. The pas
sengers ate and slept and gossiped as
if they had been on a trans-conti
nental Pullman train, with all the
luxuries that modern comfort and
convenience could demand.
The passengers themselves were
not aware that the plane made a
short detour, when near the Azores,
to avoid a storm area. For the most
part there was nothing more start
ling than the changes in the aspect
of sea and sky as the Clipper winged
its way at more than 150 miles an
hour to its destination.
One of the commentators on
board spoke of the constant inspec
tion of the engines while in flight.
It was possible to stop one of the
engines and overhaul it to whatever
extent might be necessary, while
the remaining power plants drove the
plane on its way.
Many long years of trial and er
ror, including the loss of many val
uable lives, have contributed to the
success of this flight. Within a few
weeks it will seem as natural to fly
to Europe in a day as it previously
was to board a liner for a voyage
of four days to a week.
And every outstanding feature in
the process of perfecting aviation
has been born of American brains.

THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON. GEORGIA
TEXAS FARMERS ARE
FACED WITH SAME PROBELM
AS GEORGIA FARMERS
Conrad Romberg, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee to
establish a Farmers Market for Hall
and North Georgia counties in Gain
esville, made a trip to Texas last
week, and while out west made a
study of farm and agricuture con
ditions in that state, and the follow
ing story is based on his observa
tions:
"The thing that surprised me
most,” stated Mr. Romberg,” is that
Texas farmers are faced with the
same problems as are facing our
farmers, nlthough due to other caus
es. While our North Georgia farm
ers are seeking new ways of making
money ahd abandoning the growing
of cotton because of high cost of
production, Texas farmers are aban
doning the growing of cotton be
cause of a disease known as root rot
that strikes the plant when it is
nearing maturity.”
Talking to a manager of one of
the large experiment stations in
Texas, Mr. Romberg found that the
station was devoting most time to
study of cotton root, and scientists
had found that it flourishes particu
larly in the alkaline soil prevalent
all over Texas. The cotton plant
grows nearly to maturity, with bolls
about to open, then suddenly be
gins to wilt and die. In some lo
calities as much as 95 per cent of a
crop has been known to die from
this rot, and as yet no cure has been
found, and hence Texas farmers are
seeking other means of making
money, Mr. Romber stated.
"It was interesting to see how
farming is done in the flat country,”
Mr. Romberg pointed out.' “It’s
practically all done by tractors lay
ing ofT, planting or cultivating most
ly two rows at a time, but some cul
tivating as many as four rows, work
generally requiring six to eight
horses or mules and a corresponding
number of men in this section. They
really go in for mass production in
Texas, at low cost. Great portions
of Texas are nearly as level as a
table top, and a man with a tractor
can cultivate many times more acres
than a farmer in North Georgia.
One man simply sits on the tractor
pulling several plows at a time and
running his tractor.”
