A NUMBER OF PHY SICIANS PRESENT. NEXT MEET. » « ING TO BE HELD AT SOPF.RTON. . The Leon Moye Medical Society helc.'- its regular monthly meeting at the El benta Hotel in Lyons last Thursday night, Aug. 24th. Those present were Drs. Aaron, Odom, Mercer, Thompson, Palmer, Meadows, Dr. Harris, of Col lins, and Dr. Camp, of Ohoopee. The President. Dr. W. A. Rivers, being absent, Dr. Aaron was electee, to preside over the meeting. The Secretary, Dr. J. E. Hunt being absent, Dr. J. W. Palmer was elected to act as secretary. Summer Diarrhoe in children was the subject for consideration which was handled by Dr. Aaron am. discus sed by the other Doctors presant The point was made that it was an un usual thing now for a child to die with Summer Bowel complaint. This was attributed to the fact that it was caused by an error in diet and the ■ treatment considerec. in properly feed | ing the child an not druging it, to I which the Mothers had become edu • ented. All of which explained the low j mortality. Another interesting feature of the ! meeting was the discussion of Diph ! theria and the high mortality among j st the children in spite of the use of : Diphtheria Antitoxine. The fact was brought out that only about half the 1 children will have Diphtheria and 1 that you can use Schlcks test and find ! out those who will have Diphtheria I end then vaccinate them for Diph | theria using Diphtheria Toxin Anti ! toxine and protect them from it jus*. ! I that he will deny a new trial, which means that it will go back to the Su preme Court for the third time. We learn as we go to press that j Judge Hardeman denied a new tria j for Lee Curry on the grounds stated above. Evidence on the relationsh p of one of the jurors to Curry was not sufficient enough to grant a new trial. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1922. ATHLETIC OUTLOOK IS SHOD AT THE 8.-P.

Splint Stafford, it is hoped, will also be with us, and should have no trouble in get ting a place with the regulars. Otto Tate, star forward of Vidalia’s last year's team, is expected to make a pair with Stubby that will be hard to heat. A number of hoys are coming who will make excellent material for !>as • ketball. The team should he consid i erably stronger than it was last year. F'ootball gives promise of being all that could be expected for the first year. Several players of experience will be in, and some mighty good terial out of which to make a good 1 team. The schedule gives a game here on Thanksgiving and Armistice day with strong teams. Every effort will be made to win these two games. Harrison, captain of last year’s base ball team, will he captain again this year. Rldunt, Smith, T.eggett, Mc • Swain and perhaps Lon Smith will be back. Red Spivey is also expecting to he here.

SAFFOLD WILL SPEAK IN VIDALIA SATURDAY (CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE ' MIDDLE CIRCUIT WILL SPEAK AT CITY HALL ON SATURDAY MORNING AT 10:30. Col. Frank H. Saffold, candidate for Judge of the Middle Circuit, op posing Judge R. N. Hardeman, the present encumbent, will speak at the Vidalia city hall Saturday morning, September 2nd, at 10:30 o’clock. Mr. I Saffold will go into a full discussion 1 of his platform and will tell the vo • ters of this section how ho plans to 1 handle this important office if- he is honored with election. Prominent Swainsboro Citizen Endorse* Him. Last week’s issue of the Swainsboro j Forest-Blade carried the following ! letter from Jesse Thompson, .Sr., one !of the most prominent citizens of ! Emanuel county, endorsing Mr. Saf fold’s candidacy: Editor Forest-Blade: I have read with a good deal of pleasure and interest several commu nications in regard to the candidacy of Col. F. H. Saffold for Judge of the Superior Court, all of which 1 fully endorse. And like Mr. G. F. Flanders s;Hd, can’t see how a man can pask a candidate’s door four times a day for half a life-time and thdn vote for a candidate thirty miles away. 1 have known Col. Saffold for a long time and I am going to support him because I know he is fully quali fied to fill the place, and a life citizen of Emanuel county. I have often spoken of his liberali ty, of his kindness to his fellow-man, and his care of those who by ties of blood looked to him for assistance. 1 have had occasion to'place business in his hands when he was opposed by what I considered the best legal talent of the state, and on each occa sion he demonstrated a natural gift as a lawyer and thorough knowledge of the law. Therefore, I know that Col. Saffold is fully qualified and equipped in every way to make us a business-like judge for this circuit. With all-questions he will be perfectly square, knowing 1 no master save the law. Believing this, I want to add to his already very large number of support ers my full and complete endorsement.] T cannot see how any man in Emanuel] county ran afford to cast his ballot against Col. Saffold. I do know that any lawyer in the honest practice of his profession will have misunder standings and the interest of his case will oftentimes make if necessary for him to be harsh with his opponents, and this, as a matter of course, will arouse some feeling against ai lawyer of that type, but love of Emanuel county and a desire to give it a stand ing equal tef any county in *he state, and to show to those who may come to make our county their home that loyalty of interests for the county’s good and the citizens of the county in ' every laudable ambition will do away! with petty strife and even hatred, so] that the people will unite as one man I for the advancement of one of our citizens. Certainly this 'should actu ate every citizen when the man about whom I am writing is equal in ability, eoual in character, and equal in every other duality which goes to make up an ideal judge to any man. No one who knows Col. Saffold can doubt that hr- is the embodiment of all I have said, and I earnestly so licit every voter in the county to vote for him, and I gladly give hirn this, my public endorsement. Respectfully, j Adv. JESSE THOMPSON, SR. IST DISTRICT MASONS TO MEET 111 VIBALIA ANNUAL CONVENTION WILL BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, SEPT 6TH AND 7TH—THE PROGRAM.
