TUBERCULO8I8 IN GEORGIA.
The action of the feneral assembly of
Georgia In authorising Governor Ter
rell to appoint a medical commission on
tuberculoala, to Investigate the dlsense
In thla state and. If possible, to check
It. was commendable In the highest de
gree. The governor has named the
members of the commission, with Dr.
Chas. Hicks of Dublin as chairman. It
la hoped the commission will be able
to secure the vital statistics it may
need. Owing to the laxity of authori
ties In many countlea of the state In
maintaining a registry of deaths. Indi
cating the cause. It will be very diffi
cult for the commission accurately to
fix the tuberculosis percentage. Hut the
Telegraph trusts that the commission
will, by cnreful Investigation, be able
to reach a determinate figure. It la In
clined to believe that there la leas of
tuberculosis, or "consumption," to use
the general word. In Georgia than In
any other state east of the Mississippi
liver. If the commission shall be able
to prove this true. It will accomplish a
grand work In enhancing the prestige
of, Georgia as a stale blessed by a di-
mats and other natural conditions
which tend to the Immunity of the peo
ple from either epidemic or endemic
maladies.
When yellow fever afflicted the
Fouth, twenty-five years ago, Oeorgla
was not affected. It Is true that once In
recent years It was found on the coast,
but It was checked nnd stamped out
very readily. It made no progress. If
one will study the map of the state,
noting the topography and the water
course#, he will find that Oeorgla Is one
of the beat drained atittea In the Un
ion. The rfvera find their sources In the
mountains and foothllla, nnd their cur
rents are rapid to the sea. Their creek
< ontrlbutnrlcs accelerate the flow, so
that the rivers become mighty as they
empty Into the sea or gulf. Incidentally
The oak nnd pine forests, all the way
from the Tennessee to the Florida line
nre health-breathing. The general cll-
mate 1* without rlg« r of heat or cold.
Under these circumstances we are
t'.< lined to be confident the tuberculosis
commission will reach the conclusion
that there Is less of the malady In
Georgia titan In any other state, not
only east but west of ths Mississippi.
We trust It will succeed In establishing
this fact.

Which leada ue to remark that the
deportation Idea la not by any meant,
original with The Telegraph or with
John Tempi# Grave, or la It an Inspired
revelation to Blahop Turner. It hae
occupied the mlnda of very wlee men
from the beginning of our elave-hold-
Ing hletory and been acted upon by
many philanthropists for two hundred
year..
While Instances of voluntary manu-
mlulon and exportation by previous
owners had occurred In the Eaat end
In the Houth, the substantial feeling In
favor of euch policy began to grow up
on owners with the Methodist evan-
gell.m begun In thla state of Oeorgla
by tho Weeleya, and afterwarda carried
through the union by Whllfleld, Coke
and Aabury. The letter's efforts to
create a rellgloua antipathy to slavery
had apeclal effects In Virginia where,
for half a century many annual cates
of voluntary emancipation and depor
tation of alavea by their owners oc
curred.
The subject of the abolition of slav
ery waa debated vigorously In the Vir
ginia House of Delegates In 1911-3 and
Oen. Broadnax, of Dinwiddle, signalised
himself as the advoente of gradual
emancipation and deportation. In
April. 1834, Dr. Aylett Hawes, of Cul
peper county, Virginia, manumitted
116 sluves and provided for their re
moval to Liberia. In February, 1X36,
Thomas Higginbotham did the same
for his 64 slaves, nnd In Mny of that
year. Merlin Daweon. of Albemarle,
did likewise for hla 60 slnvea. And
e nre but samples of almost month
ly occurrences of ths sort In Virginia
and other Southern states, even up to
ths beginning of the Civil War.
Thla Idea of deportation for the ne
gro race from America had Its advo
cates North of Meson nnd Dlsnn's line.
In 1152 a report on the eubject of the
relation of the racee In thla republic
woe inode lo tha legislature of Indiana,
and In It occur aome propositions that
If given forth even today by a Houth
ern state legislature, would arouse
wlde-apreed Northern proteete.
It Is worth while to quote the salient
ones of those propositions, ns follows:
“4. A homogeneous population la

“I. The United (hates of North

"H. A heterogeneous population, that

A SMALL FAKE.
The so-called Populist convention
which assembled In Atlanta on Thurs
day was a fake. Thtre It no Popu
list party In Oeorgla. and neither Tom
Watson, nor the Atlanta News, which
seems to be Watson's pereonal organ,
can make anybody believe It
A few of the Irreconcilable radicals
of the defunct party got word to meet
end put out an electoral ticket, for the
purpose of making a show of support
for Watson In his home state.' In this
work they are aided and abetted by a
few disappointed men of loose convic
tions, professedly of the- Democratic
party, and by the Republicans. It Is
blooming farce, because there Is
nothing behind It In Georgia, or else
where In Democratic states. It Is In
tended to mean something, however,
In the doubtful states. It la Intended

dilly-dallying about the truth. The
mask does not have to be stripped off.
It falls of its own looseness and weight.
Fiery eruptions on one hill top does
not mean that the whole world Is on
Are; nor does much denunciation pass
for convincing logic. The only plaus
ible excuse for Mr. Watson's campaign
la hie confession that he prefers Roose
velt to Parker. When there le a chance
for Democratic success he bute In to
meko confusion. Four years ego when
there waa no show of Democratic suc

campaign? What claim haa he to their
consideration? Did he not endeavor tp
divide them eight years ago by running
a aide electoral ticket with himself on
It as a candidate for vice prealdent?
If Mr. Wetson’e contention that It Is
better to elect Rooievelt than Parker
le true, then all the work, and alt the
organising, and all the lighting done
In Georgia and the Houth by practically
all the white people since 1666 was a
mistake, a delusion and a fraud. Hill,

Netv York Herald.
To a calm, dispassionate looker on In
Vienna, are apparently unmistakable
signs throughout the country of a po
litical revolution, as Mr. Blaine called
the election of 1874.
From the moment that Judge Parker
flashed hla famous manifesto for the
gold standard, a wave of enthusiastic
popular response has been rising and
rolling eastward, until It has submerg
ed even the sleepy granite hills of New
England and other Republican strong
holds. As far us the eye can reach
the once divided ranks of the Demo
cracy huve beon closed up and present
the spectacle of a united phalanx. In
spired bye the 'spontaneous determina
tion to press their great battle
for the American flag and the Ameri
can constitution as they were handed
down by the fathers of the republic.
In the very bosom of the party In
power there have been not n few de
fections of eminent men who have long
fought for its ascendancy. More start
ling and significant still has been the
earnest movement among the class of
Independent and Influential voters, as
Illustrated in New York by the power
ful association of conservative and
leading lawyers, known as the Parker
Constitution club, protesting against
Roosevelt's "getting up a policy of
force," vigorously warring for u restor
ation of law and order, Instead of a
dictatorial, personal government,
pealing to all good citizens to rally in
the defence of civil freedom nnd the
sanctity of the obligation! Imposed by
International law.
Hut much stronger evidence, that of
general uprising of the people for n
return to constitutional government. Is
furnished by the careful Investigations
the Herald, published on the 28th
Inat., which shows that even If Mr.
Roosevelt should be elected the chances
are that the Demgcrats will have a
majority In the next house of repre
sentatives, which accord with other In
dependent conclusions. Indicate ln the
light of hard facts and very clearly
that there are only 71. debatable or
doubtful congressional districts, of
which the present opposition will need
carry only 35 In order to gain a bare
majority.
Ab the Herald’s Inquiry shows, the
Republicans obviously labor under a
two-fold difficulty—first, that In states
that have supported them strongly in
recent years, as Pennsylvania nnd Illi
nois. "they stand to lose many mem
bers of congress," and second, "Repub
lican pluralities In every state ln the
union, except In the extreme northwest
aqd the Rocky Mountain states, have
been shrlnklrtg ever since 1896," while
the Democrats, who were disaffected ln
that year, have been returning to their
old party allegiance, especially ln the
middle west. New York and New Eng
land. In the cleAr, cold light of auch
facts Is It too much to Infer that the
renctlon which hn# set In slnco Judge
Parker’s elevating and inspiriting cam
paign began promises to alter most de
cidedly the present political complex
ion of the house. If this should be the
case It la possible, but It seems ex
tremely Improbuble, that the popular
verdict of the November election can
give the presidency to Mr. Roosevelt.
Never alnce the foundation of the gov
ernment have the people elected a
president and at the same time put In
power a congress hostile to the new ex
ecutive If we accept the election of
1X78. when Tllden nnd. Hayes were the
rival candidates In s contest the real
result of which Is. to say the least, still
In a cloud of historic controversy and
doubt. Even In the reconstruction era,
when the Democratic party had not re
covered from the demoralising effects
of the war and Gen. Grant waa serving
hla second term. It regained control of
the house, organizing the forty-fourth
congress by a majority of 88, retaining
Its control through the forty-fifth and
forty-sixth congresses.
As such signs betoken a great reac
tion from the dominant political party,
the opposition haa every reason to give
the people In every state a thorough
campaign of education and to boldly
define the Issues to which Its platform
commits It. In this respect the leaders
of Judgs Parker’a campaign would do
well to emulata ths Republican leaders,
who have long alnce spread their liter
ature broadcast over the land.
On the one hand the Democrats owe
It to themaelves and the country to
elucidate and popularise the tremen
dous contentions of their platform,
which places them distinctly In the ag
gressive attitude. They contend that

verted from its original and conatltu
tlonally ordained ends to carry on wild
and burdensome schemes of a danger

A Clear Skin Neoessitates Good Blood.
About fifty per cent of the people of
the United States have some Imper
fection of the skin—due solely to Im
pure blood. Many persons are Igno
rant of the great purifying qualities
contained in sulphur. Hancock’s Li

icide. la *0 compounded that It may be
taken internally, or applied directly to
the skin to be absorbed through the
pores.
Here is what Miss Evalyn Garst, of
Salem. Va., thinks of it:
Three years ago I had a rough place
on my cheek—It would burn and itch.
I was fearful It might be of a cancer
ous nature. I used different prepara
tions. but nothing ever helped It. One
bottle of Liquid Sulphur haa cured me
entirely. I recommend It to every one
having any akin disease.
