Thursday, Jlay S<li, IS7J).
As o t’le Communication ot a
Scrihler.
We publish a cormuunication in this
issue upon the subject of the establish
ment of a Board of Health by the state.
Something of this sort was attempted a
few years ago but it has entirely failed,
we presume, from fatal defects in its
constitution. In view of the alarming
epidemics of yellow fever, which have
prevailed over such a large portion of
the South during the past few years,
this becomes an important subject.
Yellow fever seems to become more fa
tal in its results and more extensive in
its ravages with every recurrence of the
epidemic. At first, it was confined
mainly to sea-coast cities, it then spread
to inland cities, and, last year, it ex
tended its ravages to small towns, and
even into country districts. We are
very fearful that, if something is not
done to prevert it, it will extend its
ravages over all the southern country.
Wo have heard occasionally, with what
truth we do not know, of cases, in New
Orleans and elsewhere, even during the
dead of the past winter. A ship, on
board of which the fever prevailed last
summer, was taken to Boston, and
thoroughly frozen in the rigorous weath
er of the past winter, and, as it was
thought, completely disinfected, yet
when she left that port a short time
ago, and sailed to a warmer latitude,
the feverbrokeout again- These facts,
we fear, indicate that the germs of the
disease that prevailed last summer have
not been destroyed, and that we are to
have a recurrence of the epidemic dur
ing the coming summer and fall months.
It may not be possible for human
skill or human efforts to stay the hand
of the destroyer, hut no effort should
he left untried to effect that object.
As yet, there has never been any sys
tematic organized effort in this direc
tion. It is high time such an effort was
being made. Perhaps, as in the case
of small-pox, some means may be found
to stay the disease or mitigate its rav
ages.
The object, of the communication al
luded to is to call public attention to
the matter.
Congress.
Since the veto of the Army Appro
priation Bill by the President the
democrats in Congress seem to have
been in somewhat of aquandary; but,
after several caucuses they have
agreed to report “A bill to prevent
interference by the army with elec
tions” and send it to the president
for approval' or rejection, leaving, iu
the mean time, the appropriation bill
as it is. Should the president ap
prove the bill to prevent interference
in the elections, they will then pass
the appropriation bill again without
the clauses objected to by him.
Should he veto it, they will, probably,
adjourn leaving Hayes without mon
ey to feed and pay his army, and re
fer the issue of free and untrammel
ed elections to the people. The pres
ident would most likely approve a
separate bill to keep the array away
from the polls, as several of the most
stalwart of the stalwart republicans,
among them Garfield, the leader of
that party in the House, have declar-
Ihut they would vote for such a bill.
The president would sign such a bill,
not b .‘cause he and his party do not
still wish to use the army to bulldose
and terrorize voters at the polls, hut
because they are afraid of the people
on such an issue.
This would be a substantial victory
for the democrats. It would be car
rying their point, though not in the
way they wished to do it.
The democrats are said to be unit
ed and harmonious in their action,
though a few nondescripts, such as
Alex Stevens with Emory Speer at
his heels, are trying to induce them
to stoop down and eat dirt.

Another Tragedy in Atlanta.
Atlanta, May I.—At 3 o’clock
this afternoon J. VV. Sparks and his son
in-law, Drewry Tye, had a fatal ren
counter in a slaughter pen just outside
the city. They had not been on friend
ly terms for some time. Tye rented
the slaughter pen used by Sparks and
went in to take possession. Sparks
asked him what he was doing there.
lie said he came to kill cattle. Sparks
said: “You will never kill any cattle
here,” and drew his knife. Tye said :
“it you come to me I will kill you ”
Sparks made a rush. Tye drew a re
volver and fired. The ball passed
through Sparks’ liver and he fell. A
crowd went out to thesceneof the fight.
While Sparks was being brought home
on a shutter, he died. Tye gave him
self up and claims to have acted in self
defence, at the last extremity. The
affair caused a great sensation. Sparks
was sixty years old.

Establish a Hoard of Health.
Messrs. Editors:
Not long since the writer happening
to be in company with one of the Judges
of the Supi rior Court, who is also an
ex-membor of the Georgia Legislature,
when that, distinguished individual was
very pronounced in favor of the reor
ganizing of the State Medical Board,
and with many other excellent things
said that it was, as an act of humanity,
the duty of every medical man in the
State to exert all of his influence in
bringing about such legislation at the
next meeting of the legislature as will
place the State Medical Board on a
permanent basis. Adopting the sug
gestion of the learned Judge, the writer
has given the subject some cousideration,
and believing that such an organization,
if efficiently managed will result in much
good to the people, and knowing that
few persons outside of the medical pro
fession consider or understand the im
portance of such an organization, and
feeling assured that the people every
where are looking to the profession for
direction in such matters, he respect
fully suggests to the medical profession
throughout, the State to discuss the
matter freely and fully, in all of its
bearings suggesting the prominent fea
tures of the benefits to he derived, as
well as the evils that may result, and
the best plans for organizing and oper
ating such an institution. He respect
fully suggests that the Board he com
posed of one physician from each Con
gressional district in the State, one of
whom shall he elected president. That
there should be a secretary, appointed by
the Governor, the appointment to be sub
ject to ratification by the board. Tluit
iu each county ip the state there he an
assistant secretary, appointed by the
Ordinary of the county, subject also to
ratification of the board.
The board should meet annually, or
oftener if necessary, at the sta'e Capi
tol, for the transaction of such business
as may properly come before it. Shall
have full control of the licensing of all
practioners of medicine, as well as all
pharmacists and apothecaries within the
state, and be paid at the rate per
diem and mileage as are the members
of the legislature for the time of actual
service. That the secretary reside at
the capitol of the state, and be paid a
stated salary. His duties, besides the
ordinary duties of secretaries, to be the
systematic arranging in proper form
for publication of the reports, statistics,
&c., of the assistant secretaries from
each county, and have a sufficient num
ber of these reports published quarterly
to supply every physician and ordinary
in the state with a copy. * The assistant
or county secretaries shall reside in the
counties for which they are appointed.
Their duties shall be to keep a system
atic record of the births and deaths and
important circumstances connected there
with, and a record of the liygenic con
dition, with the epidemic and endemic
influences, the type, character, &c-, as
well as an outline of the general treat
ment of the prevailing diseases, the
per centage of recoveries and deaths,
and make quarterly reports of all to
the secretary of the state board. To
them also might be delegated the au
thority to institute proper quarantine
regulations when such emergencies arise.
They might, also, he empowered to take
cognizance of such cases of lunacy as
may be in the county where they reside,
until such persons can be transfered to
an asylum.
They could certainly more efficiently
and satisfactorily discharge the duties
of coroner in holding post-mortem, in
quests than is now done under the pres
ent system.
The State Board, at its regular meet
ings, shall review and pass upon the en
tire action and reports of these subor
dinates. As to the benefits accruing to
the people, he will mention only a few
of the most prominent: It will unite
in one common effort all of the talent,
learning and experience of every physi
cian in the state. It can be so man
aged as to give each individual one a
large share ot the experience of all the
others. It affords the surest means of
combating epidemics of every grade
and character, and the only plan of
adopting such systematic liygenic meas
ures as will protect the people from
epidemic influences. It will insure
the people against quacks and heartless
pretenders in medicine, and deliver
them from the many worthless, not to
say dangerous, compounds, now offered
for sale throughout the length and
breadth of the country. Rightly divided
and conscientiously discharged, the du
ties need not be onerous to the board
and its officers, nor burdensome to the
tax payers. Perhaps it may be urged
by some member of the profession that
the newspapers are not the proper me
dium for the discussion of a suoject
like this, —that it properly belongs to
medical literature. The answer would
be, that this is a discussion in which
the whole people of Georgia, (not many
of whom read the medical journals,) are
vitally interested, as from them comes
the voice that results in the necessary
legislation ; let them participate in the
consideration and discussion. Let the
medical journals, too, abound in articles
on the subject.
The writer does not insist on any one
adopting his plans or suggestions, but
hopes that other and better plans will
be offered. May he be pardoned for
insisting on a free and full discussion
and prompt action.

Killed by Lightning.
On Tuesday afternoon about the
time the severe gust of wind and a
slight shower of rain passed ever Al
bany, Mr. John Cox, the overseer for
Mr. It. G. Carleton, on the Frog Pond
place, nine miles south of the city, was
struck and instantly killed by light
ning. He was out in the field sitting
on a stump, about a hundred yards
from where the hands were at work,
when killed. Mr. Cox was forty-five
or fifty years of age, and moved to this
county from Green county in January
last. He leaves a wife and three chil
dren, who have the deepest sympathy
of the entire community in this great
bereavement and irreparable loss.—Al
bany Advertises.
The Cox Trial.
Ed. Cox, who killed Col. Alston
in Atlanta, has been on trial in the
Fulton Superior Court for the past
week. The case was given to the
jury on last Tuesday. At last ac
counts the jury had not brought in a
verdict. It is generally believed that
the verdict will he murder.
Sale of the Montgomery ami
Eulauta Railroad.
The above road was sold at auction
last week at Montgomery Ala. The
purchaser was Mr. Wadley, president
of the Central and Southwestern Roads,
and the price paid was two millions two
hundred thousand dollars. ,
There has been, for some time, oc
casional talk of the extension of the
Brunswick and Albany road to Eufau
la, and it is supposed that it was for
the purpose of flanking this movement
the Montgomery and Eufaula road
was purchased by the Central. The
Central now seems to have the Bruns
wick and Albany completely surround
ed and hemmed in. It would he folly
to extend it to Eufaula with the only
feeders at that place in the hands of a
rival. Its only outLt now is in the di
rection of Columbus.
Rev. Allison l>okle Drowned.
At one o’clock on last Thursday
Rev. Allison Dekle was drowned at
his mill, known as the Folsom Mill,
14 miles north of Thomasville, on
the Big Ocklockonee river. The re
cent freshet had broken the mill, but
the dam had been repaired and water
again stopped. At one o’clock Mr.
Dekle and perhaps his son-in law dis
covered a leak which they feared
would endanger the dam, and went
down to the gate to let off the water.
One of the upright s supporting this
gate was held in position by a prop,
and this gave way as soon as the
pressure of water came against it,
pushing Mr. Dekle into the current.
His sou-in-law caught him and at
tempted to pull him back, hut the
force of the water was too strong
and sucked him under. He rose some
ten or fifteen feet blow iu the river,
but went clown again and had not
been found up to three o’clock that
day. Mr. Dekle was an estimable,
highly esteemed citizen, and his death
will cast a gloom upon a large num
ber of friends and relatives. The
lack of space prevents a more leng
thy and fitting notice of his life and
virtues.— Thomasville Times.

I This important organ weighs hut about three
pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
I half hour, to have the bile and other impurities
9 strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
Wi purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
! torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
led through the veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
mj skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys-
M pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili
• ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
>ick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol
a low. Merrell’s Hkpatinb, the great vegetable
H 4 discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
Wjoff from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, r.s long as there is an cx-
Kcess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses
j upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it—they being the
I first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili
jous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking Hepatine in accordance with directions.

A mate: ials; and as it contains a large per,
centage of Vegeune Oil, is warrantee fully
equal to the irapor ed Castile Soap, and at
the same time contains si) the washing and
clensing properties of the celebrated German
and
Frfuchl
LauDdry Soaps.
It is therefore recom
mended for use in the
Laundry, Kitchen k Bath Room,
and for general household purposes;
also for Printers, Painters, Engineers,
and Machinists, as it will remove spots of ink
Grease, Tar, Oil, Paint, etc, from the hands.
The Huntingdon Monitor of April sth
1877, pronounces this Soap the best in the
market, as follows:
Reader, we don't want you to suppose
that this is a n advertisement, and pass it
over unheeded. Read it. We want to direct
your attention to the advertisement of
“Crampton‘B Imperial Soap." Baring used
it in cur office for the past year, we can re
commend it as the best quality ofswpie
use. 11 is a rare thing to get a Soap that will
thoroughly dense printing ink from the
hands, as also from linen; but Cramptoe'e
alundry soap will doit, and we know where
of we speak. It is especially adapted for
printers, painters, engineers and inacbiniiti,
as it will remove grease if all description!
from the hands as well as clothes, with little
labor. For general household pnrpese! it
cannot be excelled.
