Georgia Doctor Finds
i Cure for Deadly Ili
Cranford’s Discovery Is
' Hailed as One of
Greatest
' SAVANNAH, Ga. June 24.—
What is termed by Dr. Darling
of the Rockefeller Foundation,
Research Department, as *‘one of
the greatest discoveries ever
made in the history of medical
research,’’ has been made by Dr.
Cranford, of [.ee County, accord
?to Dr. J, W. Daniel, president of
}the Medical Associations of Geor
gia, who has just returned from
the meeting of the Medical So
ciety of the Third District. which
was held at Montezuma.
In discussing the discovery,
Dr. Daniel said, “the efforts of
Dr. Cranford will, in the opinion
of Dr. Darling, of New York
City, who was so interested in
the matter that he attended the
session of the Thiid District
Medical Society, cause thousands
of lives to be saved in South
America, Africa and Pannama
Canal Zone, where the kind of
Malarial fever effected by the
discovery, as well as in America.
“This kind of malarial fever
produces a degeneration of the
red blood cells with a pronounced
anemia and is characterized by‘
passage of the coloring matter of ]
the red blood cells in the urine. |
This type of malaria has been
very deadly and has baffled the
‘medical profession. It prevails
toa great extent in Africa, India,
Panama Zone, South America
and in certain parts of the Unit
}edStates. It is called by Euro
pean physicians as ‘Black Water
Fever.
| “Dr. Cranford, who is anative
physician and who has practiced
medicine in Lee and adjoining
counties for a number of yers,
conceived the idea that if the in
'jection of horse serum would
prevent bleeding and augment
coagulation of blood, that would
be a proper remedy to use in this
type of fever. He experimented
with his theory in several cases
with the result that there was a
cessation of the passing of the
coloring matters of the blood
in the urine and of the degenera
tion of the blood cells and that
the patient eventually recovered
after this treatment had been
given him.”’

Has Time Changed?
The old swimmin’ hole is cal
lin’! You can see the signs of
cvery hand, Freckles and Skin
ney and Pedhead are holding up
two fingers as they meet in front
of the butcher shop. Shoes are
heing cast aside and the old two
piece suit—pants and shirt—
have taken the place of the
school suit. Vacalion days are
here and the gang will meet on
the lot just as they met forty
years ago, for boyhood neyer
changes. The green foliage
along the creek beckons, the old
tin can with its lump of earth
and wriggling worms has the
same lure for the boy today that
it had for you in the days gone
by. ‘‘The last one in knows
what he is’’ causes the wild
scramble to slip out of clothing
that it did when Hector was a
pup. It’s the same old world
fellows, that it used to be. The
frogs croak at night, the sun
shines into the bedroom window
at morn. There are chores to do
and dirty bare feet to wash at
bedtime, circus poster has the
same wild fascination.
No, Tom, itisn’t the times that
haye changed—it’s you.

« 7 V7t the Nerth
DETROIT, Mich., Jurie 28.—
So many friendless and unknown
Southern negroes have died, been
taken to the morgue, and failing
identification have been buried
in the potters field here that
civic authorities, together with
negro miniaters are taking steps
to provide eyery immigrant
Southern negro with an indenti
fication card, giving the address
of his nearest Southern relatives,
or ‘‘white folks.”
Seventy five per cent of the
undentified dead in the Detroit
morgue are negroes, according
to the Detroit News, and the
‘majority of these are newly ar
rived from the South, Tubercu
losis, typhoid and in some cases
actual starvation, are responsi
ble for the majority of deaths,
although a surprisingly large
number of killings occur when
the negro competes with the low
grade immigrant, and race clash
es between the negro and the
immigrant classes are becom
ing more frequent.
New Appointees Here.
G. E. Wilcox, of Tuckerman,
Ark., and A. R. Long, of Broken
Arrow, Okia., are the two new
assistants who have been station
ed at the Memphis weather bu
reau. They are being ‘‘broken
in’’ by Prof. J. D. Blanden, me
teorologist, who is in charge of
the office in the absence of J. H.
Scolt, chief forecaster, new en
gaged in special work at Wash
ington.
‘Wilcox just recently stood the
ciyil service examination and
this is the first station to which
he has been appointed. He will
oceupy the place of Charles H.
Bower, former assistant who left
the service recently.
Long has been in the weather
bureau service for some time, in
the capacity of observation bal
lonist. Beginning July 1, he
will have charge of the balloun
department of the Memphis
weather bureau. The equip
ment for this department is due
to arrive in a short time, he said
