DR. CUMMINGS, U. S. SURGEON
GENERAL, SAYS TUBERCULO
SIS MOST DEADLY AMONG
CHILDREN UNDER FIFTEEN.
(By Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, Surgeon
General United Statets Public
Health Service.)
In very early times it was observ
ed that tuberculosis was more apt to
occur at certain ages and under cer
tain conditions of living. Hip
pocrates, the father of medicine,
noted that it was most frequent be
tween the ages of eighteen and
thirty-five. It is common knowledge
now among physicians that any cause
which weakens the individual lessens
his resistance and predisposes to tu
berculosis. A powerful physique is
not necessarily a safeguard.
There is a growing conviction that
infection in tuberculosis usually oc
curs in childhood.
The younger the child and the
more intimate the contact and the
more prolonged the exposured the
greater is the danger. It is esti
mated that about 10 per cent of all
deaths among children under fifteen
years of age are due to tuberculosis
in some form.
The relation of early infection to
tuberculosis in later life is impor
tant. It is believed that most peo
ple are infected before the age of
sixteen,
Between the ages of twenty and
forty about one-third of all deaths
are due to tuberculosis.
It is most frequent among the poor
because they cannot avoid fatigue
mor nurse minor ailments nor escape
other diseases which predispose to
infection. Nor can they house and
feed themselves in a manner to
strengthen their resistance to, the
germ. i |
The poverty stricken worker, the
struggling student, the religious re
cluse, the roue and the rounder, the
dissolute spendthrift, the miser, the
ascetic, the chronically tired business
man, and the over amused society
girl, are predisposed to tuberculosis
through unwise or unworthy ex
haustion of physical resources. ,
Laék of Proper Food Blamed
The first predisposing cause of tu“
berculosis is lack of proper food. In
the average American home too little
time is given to the study of chil
dren’s diet during the first ten years
of child life and even when food is
properly prepared for children it
must not be forgotten that it often
takes time and patience to induce a
playful, active ebild to eat proper!

MURDER OF PROHIBITION OF
~_FICERS IN JONES COUNTY.
¥ In reference to the investigation
following the deaths of Malone and

been issued. Two negroes were ar
iru&ed and lodged in jail last Satur

Monday and carried to the Macon
jail, where they were, at the request
of officers, separated. We are in
formed that these men, together

southeastern portion of the county,
thinly settled and about ten miles
from the county site. For some time
it has had a reputation for lawless

MONTICELLO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1925.
FLOYD MALONE, OF MON’I'I-I
'CELLO, RECENTLY ASSUMING
DUTIES AS POLICEMAN OF
JONES, ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
. \
eN o A |
HADDOCK, Ga., Aug. 28.—(Spe
cial to The Macon Telegraph).—
Floyd Malone, county policeman, and
his deputy, Frank Tucker, were shot
and killed near here this afternoon
while hunting moonshiners. Their
bodies were found 176 yards off the
Macon-Garrison Road, five miles
from Haddock, at 5 o’'clock this
afternoon,
The men were shot in the back
with shotguns fired at close range,
cut or “rung” shells being used.
Both bodies were mutilated, there
being three holes torn through one of
the bodies. ;
A small bpy, who had been fish
ing ats Choates’ mill pond, who was
returning home, came upon an
abandoned automobile off the main
road. He investigated and found
the bodies. He ran some distance
until he found an motorist, who
h‘rourht the information here.
Left Early.
The officers left Gray at 4 o’clock
this morning for the Southeastern
part of the county, where a still had
been reported as doing a big busi
ness.
When Sheriff J. C. Middlebrooks
and a posse of citizens arrived at the
scene from Gray, they found no evi
dence of a fight. On the contrary
the sheriff expressed the opinion that
the men were shot and killed at a
distillery site possibly several miles
away from the scene, both bodies be
ing carried to the old mill in Ma
lone’s automobile.
Malone’s body had been carefully
laid out on the ground, on top of
his Winchester rifle, while his pistol
lay a few inches ahead of him.
Tucker’s body lay across his pump
shotgun, with an automatie pistol
also carefully placed a few inches
from his head. ‘
There was no blood on the ground
and little blood in Malone's automo
bile, in which the bodies had been
transported to the mill site.
Malone is married and hails from
Jasper county. He has been here in
Jones county only two weeks, suc
ceeding Joe S. Grubbs, the county
policeman who was killed about a
month ago, and who also came from
Monticello.
Believes Motive Found.
Sheriff Middlebrooks expressed the
opinion that he found the motive for
the killing in the tonneau of the au
tomobile, a distillery cap. He said
that the raiding officers undoubtedly
had come upon a still in the late
afternoon, taking the still cap and
then returned later to the sceme of
the distillery in the hope of captur
ing the operators when they showed
up for the night’s run.
Malone’s pistol and Winchester
rifle had not been fired. Two shells
had ‘been discharged from Tucker’s
pistol, the sheriff announced, but he
said that he believed that these were
fired after the two officers had been
killed, to give the appearance of
there having been a pistol battle.

soliciting business; they will be cre
ating a feeling of good will which
should bind this section of Georgia

make for the upbuilding of the State

SOLOMON'S TEMPLE
T 0 BE RESTORED
WILL COST MILLIONS TO BUILD{
AND WILL CONTAIN PERFECT;
REPRODUCTIONS OF LIFE AND
TIME OF KING SOLOMON. ‘
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—King Solo
mon’s Temple in all its ancient gloryi
and magnificence is to be restored!
and erected at the Senquicentennial\
Exposition in Philadelphia, according}
to the announcement made yester
day by John Wesley Kelchner of 130
West Forty-second Street, who has
given the last thirty years of his life
to the study of the most famous edi
fice in all human history. In co
operation with Harvey Wiley Cor
bett, former president of the Ameri
can Institute of Architects, he has
spent the past five years perfecting
the-designs and plans for the re:—‘
toration until today every detail is in
strict accord with the Bible and
‘every other possible source of infor
mation.
| Makes Extensive Investigation.
~ Mr. Kelchner travelled all over
‘the world in his investigations and
spent a long time, in 'Palestine look-!
iing for any records available there.
‘Hq conferred with all those who had
‘studied or written about the Temple
and the completed designs meet with
the universal approval of those most
conversant with biblical history and
times.
The Temple and its citadel will oc
cupy a site of more than 40 acres in
‘the Exposition grounds, with the
lake in front and the lagoon on one
side. It is the best site of the en
tire 800-odd acres and is perfectly
adapted to such a structure as the
Temple.
Hundreds of features illstrative
of the life of the days of King Solo
mon will be shown in the Temple and
citadel. In the citadel enclosure
there will be the Palace of the High
Priest, the King’s Palace, the
Palace of the Queen, the House of
the Forest of Lebanon, King David’s
Tower and the House of the Captain
of the Host. The Imperial Harem
‘and the dwelling places of the temple
and court’s attendants will be shown
‘and these will give a perfect repro
duction of the life in those ancient
days. An important feature will be
the Palace of Belshazzar where the
famous Feast of Belshazzar will be
given nightly.
Birth of Christianity Portrayed.
More than a historical show, the
Temple will trace the growth of re
ligion and show the birth of Chris
tianity. Jerusalem in the days of
the crucifixion will be faithfully por
trayed and all the splendors of
Greece and Rome will be set forth.
From the ancient days the portrayal
will come down to the modern.
There will be shown the beginning
of life in America with Aaztec
temples, cliff dwellers and sun wor
shippers. Life in this country will
be carefully shown down to the very
present and the American spirit of
benevolent philanthropy will be
‘brought out. In its vast conception
‘the Temple and citadel will empha
size the spirit of peace and show the
accomplishments of peace in the
world.
Interest in the restoration of the
Temple is international and com
munications have been’received from
religious and fraternal organizations
in all parts of the world. These
realize the importance of the work
to all mankind since this will be the
first and only complete restoration
of King Solomon’s Temple ever ac
complished. ; |

NUMBER 22,
LARGE CONCOURSE OF PEOPLE
IN ATTENDANCE UPON LAST
RITES OF SLAIN COUNTY PO
LICEMAN OF JONES SUNDAY.
While in the discharge of his du
ties as chief of county police of Jones
county, Floyd H. Malone, a former
citizen of Monticello, was assassi
nated together with his assistant,
Frank Tucker, of Jones county, early
Friday morning of last week at a se
cluded spot several miles southeast
of Gray.
The news of the untimely and
tragic end of the two officers was
received in Monticello with much re
gret soon after the bodies were dis
covered late Friday afternoon. The
crime was of a most dastardly char
acter and considerable indignation is
felt by the good people of Jones and
adjoining counties over its perpetra
tion.
Mr, Malone had been serving as a
prohibition officer only a short time,
having succeeded Mr. Joe S. Grubbs,
who was killed several weeks ago.
Mr. Grubbs was also a former resi
dent of this city.
. A Fearless Officer.
Mr. Malone was highly esteemed
by all who knew him for his many
excellent traits of character. He
was fearless in the discharge of obli
gations assumed, as well as loyal to
his many friends. He was indus
trious, honest, friendly and courteous
and his passing is the source of
much sorrow to a wide circle of
friends.
Attesting his popularity was the
fact that his funeral, which was con
ducted from the Monticello Baptist
church Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’-
clock, was attended by one of the
largest crowds in the history of that
church. Rev. J. D. Winchester,
pastor, officiated. The remains
were laid to rest in West View cem
etery. ;
An Impressive Feature.
The floral offerings were many
and very pretty. An impressive fea
ture of the church service was the
placing of an exquisite floral de
sign in the shape of a large cross on
the casket by members of the local
Ku Klux Klan organization who
marched silently down the aisle in
costume after the remains had been
carried into the building.
The pallbearers were, Mr. Joe
Sanders, Mr. Otis Parish, Mr. Will
Roberts, Mr. Ed Tingle, Mr. Carl
Persons and Mr. Henry Cook.
Mr. Malone is survived by his
wife, one daughter, Miss Ima
Ruth Malone, three brothers, Mr. G.
C. Malone, of Macon; Mr. J. B. Ma
lone, of Augusta; Mr, T. W. Malone,
of Miami, Fla.; four sisters, Mrs.
Isom P. Malone, Mrs. Quinn Black
well, of Monticello; Mrs. J. L. Bur
ney, of Jackson, and Mrs. Dozier
Marks, of Brewster, Ohio.
Jones county pulled off a “big
one” at Gray on Thursday of last
week. The occasion was the coming
together of the people along the pro
posed highway No. 11. Representa
tives from the extreme lower coun
‘ties, on the Florida line, as well as
from many counties in North Geor
gia, were present, and added much
enthusiasm to the meeting. Jones
county was represented by almost
‘every section.
McGarity Presides.
The meeting was called to order
about 11 o’clock and J, L. McGarity,
of Monroe, Walton county, elected
chairman, The secretary being ab
sent, 0. F. Holland, of Monticello,
was elected to fill that position.
The meeting started off full of
pep and enthusiasm and there was
no cessation to the end.
