BDOWN—SKELTON
Of cordial interest to their many

ter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Brown.

popular residents of White Plains
community, and have a host of

INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS
There has been in progress in this
community for the last few weeks
an epidemic of an unusual disease,
which the doctors call Infectious
Mononucleosis. At first the doctor"
at the hospital were puzzled over the
'diagnosis, but it was finally cleared
up by Dr. Myron Allen. The blood
from several of the patients was sent
to Dr. Sellers of the State Board of
Health, and he confirmed the diag
nosis. The disease is quite severe,
and may last from one to four
weeks. Some of the patients have
quite a temperature for several days.
Myron Allen, Jr., ran a temperature
of a hundred and four for about a
week, and was very ill, and it was
his case that was first diagnosed as
Infectious Mononucleosis. Martha
Bob McDonald had a relapse and
was dangerously ill for several days.
The disease is most common in chil
dren, but several grown ups have
had it. The disease is catching.
The disease may be mistaken for
influenza, Diphtheria, tonsil itis, Tu
berculosa, Syphils. Mumps or several
other diseases. In doubt as to diag
nosis an examination of the blood
will determine the diagnosis.

H. S. FITE GIN COOPERATES
WITH GOVERNMENT
The following information was
furnished this paper:
Mr. H. S. Fite, Jefferson, Ga., co
operated during the past year with
the Georgia Experiment Station and
the United States Department of
Agriculture in obtaining information
on the quality of the cotton ginned
in this community. Mr. Fite com
pleted his 13th successive year of
co-operation in this work and is one
of the few ginners in Georgiu who
has such a record.
A summary for the past year
shows that 99 per cent of the cotton
was white, of which 7 per cent was
strict middling and better; 57 per
cent was middling; 35 per cent was
below middling; and 1 per cent
spotted.
In staple length none was short
er than 7-8 inch. Only 10 per cent
was under 1 inch, most of which was
31-32 inch. Seventy-five per cent
was 1 and 1 1-32 inch, and 15 per
cent was 1 1-16 inch and longer.
Ninety-two per cent of the cotton
was smoothly ginned; 8 per cent
rough; and none gin cut.
Examination of the records over
the past 13 years discloses some big
improvements in the staple quality
of cotton from this community.
From 1928 to 1933 the proportion
of cotton shorter than 7-8 inch
ranged from 2 to 21 per cent. The
last two years this staple length com
pletely disappeared. The predomi
nate staple length up through 1933
was 7-8 inch and this length was
under 1 per cent the last two years.
The big increase has been in cotton
1 inch and longer. Through 1933
there was from 1 to 8 per cent of
this length, then jomped to 56 per
cent in 1934 and has since ranged
up to 90 per cent.
Mr. Fite has demonstrated an ex
cellent attitude toward efforts of
state and federal agencies in cottor;
improvement work. In addition, an
excellent ginning service has been
performed and pure Stoneville seed
have been made easily available for
planting. Mr. Fite is a prominent
farmer and citizen of Jackson Coun

Astronomer’s Tests Show
Speed of Earth Cut Down
PASADENA, CALIF.—A recent
experiment on the speed with which
the earth is traveling around the
galaxy of solar bodies by Astrono
mer Ralph E. Wilson, of the Mount
Wilson observatory, has established
that this speed is not as great as
previously estimated.
Dr. Wilson reached his new con
clusion after looking at stars 1,000
parsecs, or 19 trillions, of miles
away. The check showed that the
earth is moving 188 miles a second
around the center of the galaxy.
This rate equals 11,280 miles a min
ute.
Previously it had been estimated
the earth’s speed around the center
of the galaxy was 13 miles per sec
ond faster than stars 1,000 parsecs
farther out, but the new observa
tions have cut this to 11.6 miles per
second.
The study of gas clouds in the in
ter-stellar space resulted in the new
figures.
