THE HEALTH OF THE SOUTH.
The South lias been menaced hv
malaria, by yellow fever, and now
science tells ns that there are two
other diseases that require caution
and attent ion—pellagra him! the
hookworm.
Science is slow in reaching con
clusions and even when they are
finally slated they hove to ho ac
cepted with some deductions.
Mr. Rockefeller hits given one
million dollars to he used in inves
tigating what is known n« the
hookworm disease. This oflVr of
Mr If/Kikofeller has been received
with public criticism I rout s<>iii>-
qliaiters. bill we IllUSt Ixlievc t till t
it is because of u inmeonoeption
of the work which bus to he done
and lor which this money will
supply tln - means.
It is said that the suggestion
that there is such n disease in the
South is a reflection upon tin*
Southern people. It is no more a
reflection t him it is to say that
malaiiu exists in the South, or
that typhoid fever exists in Wash
ington and Pennsylvania
What the Southern people meal
is to know whether nr not this die
ease do** exist. V number of
eminent physicians suv* it doe*.
A number of newspapers and
preachers say it does not.
It tile disease does exist, then
ih< investigation of it by expert
physicians will demonstrate the
tact, and when that tact is de
monstrated it will la* compara
tively easy to ciad'cate it It it
does not exist, this investigation
w ill make that tact plain.
That is all Mu re is in the hook
worm controversy. To say that
the gilt 1* an l input at inn upon the
Month and to deny with anger and
bitterness that Southern people
are dirt outers do*Ai not in nnv de
gree advance the health conditions
of the South.
The hookworm does not lead to
dirt-eating .except in extreme
cases. It 1* one ut the rarest and
latent mumlest at ions.
Hut th e seeds of the disease, ac
cording to tie l in,ol of science, are
widely scattered and nminv men
ami women who helleVo they lire
run down, whose neighbors believe
they ar<» simply lazy, are the vic
tims ot t his disease, mid when the
disease 1* eradicated thesd men
and women will become active
agents in the development of the
Southern States.
Whether tliii- is a fairy tale of
science or whether it is an actual
condition cannot he determined
t v newspaper* or pfiaehet*. It
must In- determined by the medi
cal faculty ar large after long in
vestigation. Home and Karin,
GRAND JURY FAILS TO IN

Nearly every man, woman and
child of Climax able to give testi

number of business transactions
in which Oliver figured were told
in detail and many persons st ited
they had lost money, either

OAWSON TELEPHONE MAN
WHIPPED.
Dawson, tin., N >v. 27 —ls. ('.
Gilchrist, of Detroit, Mich., up!
to yesterday at noon su)>eriiiten- ,
tlent ot the Dawson telephone ex
change, was last night given a j
severe whipping at tin- hands of a
score <>r more men just on the j
outskirts of Dawson on account of]
his alleged ungmitlemanly treat
ment of the telephone girls at the
exchange.
Gilchrist is a native of Michi
gan and his trouble in Dawson
ws* caused by his alleged attempt
to get a negro porter to accom
pany 01 m of the telephone gu s
home on** night recently, which
caused a general strike at the ex
change, every girl walking out.
All day yesterday the sentiment
of many people was freely express
ed on th** as reets and in the stores,
but Gilchrist seemed In take it all j
as a joke until a late hour in the |
afternoon, when it was reported
tm would leave town on the first '
f-rmu, bat. instead ol waiting for j
a .train be secured an au omobib-j
and at tempted to drive through
the country. The car was halted
jus l beyond th** outskirts *>l tin
city and it is stated Gilchrist w.i*
treated roughly at tin* hands ot
tin* party of men, none of whom
were recognized, it is said.
