BLACKSHEAR WINS METHODIST SCHOOL The Discontinued Presbyte rial Institute Goes In the Deal. Waycross, Ga., Oct. 25. —On the fifteenth ballot, taken in the j wee sma’ hours of this morning, the special committee appointed by Presiding Elder Whitley Lang ston of the Waycross Methodist district to select a location for the district college, decided to locate the college at Blackshear. The final vote was five to lour. Jesup, Waycross, Alma, St. | Marys and Blackshear all made! offers for the college. The Black shear offer, however, was tooj good for the committee to pass and it was accepted. This offer, consists of a cash donation of j a cash donation of $5,000; the en tire plant of the Presbyterial In stitute, including two furnished dormitories and a large school building, for 125,000; free lights and water and $l,lOO a year as rental for a few rooms for the Blackshear school.

Af ter throwing a tightly-corked bottle containing her name and address into the Ohio river near ly five years ago, Miss Nora Lea, of 104 East Gray street, Louis ville, did not hear from it until today, when she learned that it had been picked up off San Die go. Cal. The finder, Charh s Collins, < f Toledo, Ohio, sent Miss Lea the slip of paper she had placed in the bottle, saying he had fished it out of Coronado bay, while on a visit to California. Capt. John F. C. Hedgewald, U. S. A. (retired,) of Ixmisville, whose interest was attracted by the incident, probably will make a report to the United States coast and geodetic survey, be lieving the bottle passed down the Ohio, into the Mississippi, through the Gulf of Mexico and across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans before it was final ly washed up on the coast of California.

I’ve been all the way to Fort Worth,” said Bill with some degree of pride. “How did you like it up there?” was the next question. “Oh.” replied Bill, “it was all right, but l don’t care much for those darn Yankees.” Berrien County Woman Has 166 Descendants.

DRINKING WATER Georgia State Board of Health Btraa»- ea Importance of Pure Water In Protection of Health. Atlanta. Ga.—(Special.)— How many Georgian*! dally drink water without j knowing anything about Ita purity; j without knowing whether or not It !• | contaminated by dangerous and per haps deadly disease germs? Pure drinking water Is of such tl - importance In the protection and | preeervatlon of health, says the Oeor* I gia State Board of Health, that not j only every community, but each Iso; lated family, should be absolutely sat-! Isfled as to the quality of tha watar It has to use. j Dad water —water polluted by hu man excreta —Is a frequent source of typhoid fever; it may be the cause of dangerous community epidemics. Plymouth, Pa., with 8,000 inhabitants, had 1,000 cases of typhoid and 100 deaths because, through carelessness, the Infected excreta from one typhoid patient, thrown out upon the hillside snows, got Into its source of drinking water. The cause was discovered be yond question, but when It was too late; the damage had been done. Bad water Is also a conveyor of cholera and, there can be little doubt, of dysentery and other diseases. Be sides, polluted water, even If free ; from these disease germs. Is debili tating to the system and unsafe for uso by children and those with delt j cato stomachs. Water, to be good should not only bo clear and colorlesß that la free from suspended matter giving rise to a cloudy or milky uppoarunce, but it' j should, above all, *be free from ail j kinds of ammal contamination, partlo- j ! ulurly that which proceeds from man ; ! and which is the real cause of trans-' furred disease. Por domestic ua« it is best that it be soft or free from an excess of mineral matter. City und town water supplies from rivers or smull streams, should al ways bo filtered before distribution. KlHratiou Is osseut.al; It has b««u known in many Instances to reduce mut< rlally the number of typhoid caaos. Ine purity of the water when it reaches the home Is dependent upon the care exercised In presenting an iaui and human pollution in the nouice, and the thoroughness of Ultra : tlon and purification before distribu tion. Artesian water, if from s good j ! depth, may be easily kept in its stfcte ! of original purity by protection from centum.nation at the mouth of the well. iuo Board of Health has for some time been engaged In the work of examining the water supplies of Geor gia cities and towns with s vlsw toj iletoi mining their purity. In ths ma jority of Instances the board's *x tuuinatlun has found that the water supplies were comparatively pure ; j but .11 soiuo cases contamlaation or! probable sources of contamination, were found and warning given. The | town authorities have usually been 1 1 prompt to remedy such conditions. But equully Important in the aggre gate. with the protection of the town j and city water supply. Is the preser vation of the purity of the well and | spring water which must be used ev- I erywhere iu the country by the fain- I lly and frequently by small communl- i tlea An infected well may spread typhoid or dysentery to an entire reentry community, and then the In , footlon may disappear from the well before the disease develops. While impurities are frequently washed into the well or spring from the pig pen or the barnyard, it is the i unsanitary privy that 1b the chief source of dntiger and disease. It Is the privy whose seeptngs drain Into the ground and nre carried to the well b> rains; it is the filth which i may gather around the top of the well or l ining and be wushod Into It by the first shower that comes; it is the ! filth which may bo left around the 1 well by unclean feet, or on the bucket by unclean hands, that Is likely to put the disease germ In the next dip -1 per of water that is taken for ilrink ! lug purposes Cleanliness around the well Is all important; it may best he protected by a surrounding layer of concrete. i But host of all is the covered wall with a pump Speaking from s sani tary standpoint, the open well with Its old-fashioned and too often germ laden bucket Is n hack number; safe protection of drinking water demands the covered well and pump, and the covering must be of some material Impervious to water, such as concrete and cement, through which no filth may trickle. The most Important lesson which the people of Georgia must learn, par ticularly in the country districts, at the school house as well as at the home. In order to prevent the contain tnatlon of drinking water, Is the ne cessity of constructing and usetng the snnltnry dry closet. The Board of Health will he glad to furnish unnn | application approved plans for tne building of ssnltorv dry closets which mar he considered perfectly safe The Board of Health will also make free analyses of drinking watar for communities or Individual famines Municipality. schools. factories or ! other eommun'tles where many per sons d r lnk from one source, and which are desirous of such analysts and examination, should make appli cation direct to T>r H V Harris.
