Washington— Control of typhoid fever has made such progress that in 1922 the death rate for this disease was the lowest ever recorded. Based on statistics from one-seventh of the total popula tion of the United States and Canada, the death rate in the year mentioned was f>.6 per 100,000 of population. In 1911 the rate was 22.8 per 100,000.

Separation of the International Har vester company into at least three distinct corporations, with wholly sep arate owners, stockholders and offi cials, is demanded by Attorney Gene ral Daugherty in a petition filed in the federal district court at St. Paul, Minn.

THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR, DANIELSVILLS, GEORGIA. CLUBHOUSE FOR GEORGIA EDITORS OWNERS OF 200 - ACRE TRACT WOULD MAKE GIFT TO GEOR GIA PRESS ASSOCIATION. STATE NEWSjOF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here And There From All Sections Of The State Tugalo.—The thirty-seventh annual convention of the Georgia Press As sociation will probably result in the establishment of a summer clubhouse for the Georgia editors and others of the fraternity with the opportunity for members of the association to have land in the mountain on which to erect summer cottages or camps or shacks if plans talked over mature. They are likely to be consummated. R. L. Moss, owner of much moun tain land and the Tallulah Falls ho tel, the Cliff House, owns one-third interest in a 200-acre tract, the other two-thirds of which is owned by the Georgia Railway and Power company. Both have expressed a willingness and desire to give that tract for the pur pose named, and definite plans may be soon under way for such an insti tution. The tract overlooks the old site of the once ‘“Terrible Tallulah Falls tem pesta.” The press gang spent a day at Tal lulah, visiting the Mountain Industrial school operated by the Women’s Fed eration of the state, the immense Y. M. C. A. camps near the falls, the power houses and the dams at the falls and at Tugalo. The latter gi gantic dam is in the midst of con struction. In all the company will have seven of these immense dams, the smaller giving 118,000 horsepower, when the present projects totaling $50,000,000 are completed. The other extensions are planned. In an address President Arkwright said that the company will develop first the boundary rivers and will later begin developing more of the in terior streams, that they may turn all their millions of power into Geor gia alone. The work of construction for the most part is being done by Georgians, the engineers and superintendents coming from Georgia Tech and other Georgia schools. President Atkinson, of the board of director*, declared that his object is eventually to place lighting and power current on every farm of Georgia. The delegation of editors, more than 200 strong, made trips on the wind ing roads about the falls in autos. Then specially constructed flat cars with seats and steps built for the oc casion took them to Shepherd camp for a great feast, then nine miles on the company’s railroad to Tugalo Junction where six Pullman coaches awaited them for the trip to Atlanta and then over the state home. The convention has been, in many ways, the best ever held; in attend ance, the largest; in every way as fine and satisfactory as any. The new president, G. U Rountree, of Wrightsville, will soon announce his committees for the year and the dis trict vice presidents for the sub-asso ?iatlons. Meigs Herald Destroyed By Fire Meigs.—The plant of the Meigs Her ald, formerly the "Brick Bat,” was destroyed by fire in the early morning hours. As the “Brick Bat,” the paper figured sensationally during the last six months as a reputed organ of the Ku Klux Klan, under the editorship jf Rev. Roy E. Davis, who figured in recent episodes in Valdosta and who was deposed as president of the Geor gia Farmers Union. The last number af the paper was published under Its former name, Meigs Herald, and it was generally accepted that this was was the end of "The Brick Bat.” The origin of the fire, which destroyed the old city hall, in which the plant was located, is unknown. Dan Wal ton was publisher of both papers. | Habeas Corpus Case Continued Atlanta.—Habeas corpus hearing of Dtmitiu Deacouescue.

Atlanta. —“The greatest miracle in the world,” said Rev. Raymond T. Richey, the evangelist of the faith healing revival meetings at the audi torium, "is the saving of the human soul.” And much of this quiet miracle seems to be performed every evening. The spectacular part of the service came when dozens of halt, maimed, blind, deaf, mute, filed across the plat form, to be “anointed” by the evangel ist, who disclaimed all power to heal but pleaded with each to “praise God” and ’"call on Jesus” to heal their soul diseases first and then mend their bodies. And there were re markable results as the sick old men and women, young women, young men, small boys with withered arms and spindled legs, showed varying signs of cure. Among some of the miracles were: Mrs. E. Miller of 316 Window street, who complained of such a lame back that mere walking was a torture, was able, after the healing service, to pick up her purse from the floor without a twinge of pain, she said. Deaf and dumb since he was two years of age, Frank Bartlett of 434 East Fair street was able to say: “Jesus,” “God” and “Frank” and to hear the applause of the audience. H. C. McKinnon of 344 Whitehall has been paralyzed on the left side since 1913 when, as a locomotive engineer, he was severely hurt in a train wreck. After passing across the auditorium stage and confessing that Jesus could heal him, he discarded his cane and walked up and down the six-step stairs to the stage without any assistance. Mrs. J. B. Young of 95 Spring street claimed that for thirty-four years she has been unable to hear a sound. She went home from the revival praising God that she had heard a whisper. Trachoma Hospital In Mitchell Closei Pelham. —More than one hundred cases of trachoma were treated at the United States Emergency Tracho ma hospital during the two months it was in operation here, according to a statement made by Dr. J. E. Sory of the United States public health serv ice. who has been in charge. Doctor Sory says he believes this eye dis ease has been entirely eliminated from Mitchell county, or if a few cases re main they are so mild the local phy sicians will be able to cope with the situation now. The hospital was closed and Doctor Sory and his corps of nurses left for Missouri, where he will open a large hospital for tracho ma treatment. School Heads Approve Improvemen. Athens. —County school superintend ents in session here at the Univer sity of Georgia summer school endors ed the plan for Improving the state common school system put forth by Superintendent of Schools N. H. Bal lard and in resolutions adopted urge the legislature to support the super intendent in carrying out his plana.

Assaults Child; Beats Her Avenger Atlanta. —Police have spread i dragnet for an unidentified white man, who Inflicted severe punishment on J. S. Astin, when Astin attempted to place the stranger under arrest fol lowing an alleged insult to a ten-year old girl.

When she screamed, he let loobe his hold and she ran home to tell her father. Negro Exodus Felt In Chattooga Summerville.—Although reports hi dicate that hundreds of negroes in all sections of Georgia have left the state to go North to seek work at higher wages, it is thought Chattooga county has lost the smallest number of any county in the state, probably less than twenty-five having gone from the en tire county within the last twelve months, and already some of those who left earlier in the year have re turned and settled down to work. Damages Awarded Mother Of Victim Atlanta.—For the death of Dillard Jolley of Decatur, who was killed on April 15 on the Montreal crosssing by a Seaboard Air Line passenger train, a jury in the city court of Decatur, returned a verdict of $20,000 in favor Mrs. Vina Jolley, the mother of the boy. The trial lasted twenty-four hours. The jury handed down its ver dict three hours after receiving the judge's charge. The law firm of Hew lett & Dennis represented Mrs. Jolley, LEGISLATIVE PRSCtEDINGS Doings of Georgia Lawmaker* Gathered For The Benefit Of Our Readers Against Changes In Appropriation Atlanta. —Instructions were g i Ve u the chairman by the house committee on appropriations to draw up an ap propriation bill for submission to the general assembly, following exactly the amounts allotted to the various state institutions and departments by the last assembly. This action follows the recommen dation of the budget commission which pointed out in its report that the state’s outlook for revenue next year is about the same as last year and; inasmuch as the income and out go practically balanced in 1922, there could be no increases in appropria tions without adequate provision for new sources of revenue. This year’s appropriation bill, as it is to be submitted to the house, will therefore carry the same amount for the confederate pensioners as last year, $1,250,000, which will enable payment of the old class of pension ers, but will not provide funds for the new classes. In this connection, bills to W'ipe out all new pensioners have been introduced by Representa tives Harris of Jefferson and Kemp ton of Fulton, but even if these bills pass, the state will still owe the new classes the pensions due them in 1925, but unpaid for lack of funds. This amounts to more than two mil lion dollars at the present time. The appropriation bill will also pro vide the same amount for the state sanitarium at Milledgeville, 5500,000, although it is admitted by every mem- this institution for the care of the insane cannot operate for less than one million dollars annually. A deficiency appropriation bill to take care of the $239,000 deficit now ex isting for that institution will un doubtedly pass. The common schools of the state will get. $4,250,000, with one half of all revenues above $8,500,000 deriv ed by the state. * * * To Put Atlanta On Eastern Time Miss Bessie Kempton, representa live from Fulton county in the house of representatives, introduced a bill to give Atlanta eastern standard time, instead of Central time as at present. The bill was referred to the Western and Atlantic railroad committee, of which Miss Kempton is chairman. Camden County Seat Change Favoret. The committee on counties and county matters of the house voted favorably on a bill by Representative Atkinson, of Camden, to change the county seat of that county from St. Marys to Wodbine. Supporters of the bill advanced as arguments before the committee that Woodbine is in the geographic center of the county, that all travel from one side of the Satilla river, which divides the coun ty, passes through Woodbine and that 75 per cent of the voters favor the change. * * * Athens Seeking Three Trustees Representatives Dußose, Clarke county member of the house of rep resentatives, has introduced a bill for the University of Georgia calling for the appointment of three trustees re siding in that city, whereas only two now live there. Three resident trus tees, he says, would be able to act in an advisory capacity to the school heads at all times. * * * Increase Asked In Tech Board Increase in membership of the board of trustees of the Georgia School of Technology from nine to fourteen is provided in a bill intro duced in the house of representatives recently. The bill provides that the additional trustees are to be appoint" ed by the governor, that they must be alumni of Tech, but they may re side either within or without the state.
