THE DOCTBRSIWOY
MEETINMI LYONS
AT ELBERTA HOTEL LAST THURS.
DAY NIGHT. A NUMBER OF PHY
SICIANS PRESENT. NEXT MEET
ING TO BE HELD AT SOPERTON.
The Leon Meye Medical Society helc. 1
its regular monthly meeting at the El
ber,ta Hotel in Lyons last Thursday
night, Aug. 24th. Those present were
Drs. Aaron, Odom, Mercer, Thompson,
Palmer, Meadows, Dr. Harris, of Col
lins, and Dr. Camp, of Ohoopee.
The President, Dr. W. A. Rivers,
being absent, Dr. Aaron was electee'
to preside over the meeting. The
Secretary, Dr. J. E. Hunt being absent,
Dr. J. W. Palmer was elected to act
as secretary.
Summer Diarrhoe in children was
the subject for consideration which
was handled by Dr. Aaron anc. discus
sed by the other Doctors present The
point was made that it was an un
usual thing now for a child to die
with Summer Bowel complaint. This
was attributec. 1 to the fact that it was
caused by an error in diet and the
treatment considered in properly feed
ing the child an not druging it, to
which the Mothers had become edu
cated. All of which explained the low
mortality.
Another interesting feature of the
meeting was the discussion of Diph
theria and the high mortality among
st the chSJldren in spite of the use of
Diphtheria Antitoxine. The fact was
brought out that only about half the
children will have Diphtheria and
that you can use Schicks test and find
out those who will have Diphtheria
and then vaccinate them for Diph
theria using Diphtheria Toxin Anti
toxine and protect them from it jus
that he will deny a new trial, which
means that it will go back to the Su
preme Court for the third time.
We learn as we go to press that
Judge Hardeman denied a new tria
for Lee Curry on the grounds stated
above. Evidence on the reHationsh p
of one of the jurors to Curry was not
sufficient enough to grant a new trial.

ATHLETIC OUTLOOK IS
GOOD AT THE 8.-P. I.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE IS COM
PLETED—BASKET BALL TEAM
WILL HAVE MANY OLD PLAY
ERS IN LINE-UP AGAIN.
Those who remember the exciting
basketball and baseball games of last
year will be pleased to know that the
prospects for 22-23 are much better
than they were then. Olin and Truman
Stubbs, Jean Smith and McSwain are
all expected back, which leaves only
one regular out in basketball. Stubby
is heavier by thirty pounds than he
was last year, and the whole team
has another year's experience. Splint
Stafford, it is hoped, will also be wit ft
us, and should have no trouble in get
ting a place with the regulars. Otto
Tate, star forward of Vidalia’s last
year’s team, is expected to make a pair
with Stubby that will be hard to beat.
A number of boys are coming who
will make excellent material for bas
ketball. The team should be consid
erably stronger than it was last year.
Football gives promise of being all
that could be expected for the first
year. Several players of experience
will be in, and some mighty good ma
terial out of which to make a good
team. The schedule gives a game
here on Thanksgiving and Armistice
day with strong teams. Every effort
will be made to win these two games.
Harrison, captain of last year’s base
ball, team, will be captain again this
year. Blount, Smith, Leggett, Mc-
Swain and perhaps Lon Smith will be
back. Red Spivey is also expecting
to be here. Lee Mcßae should de
velop under Afr. Gates’ coaching into
a pretty good pitcher, and with the
sort of support he will have, will win
a number of games. Several good
pitchers will he here and on the whole
the team should be stronger than last
year. Neil Gillis will help the coach
ing and is a very valuable addition to
the coaching staff.

ATLANTA. Ga.—The enrollment at
the Georgia School of Technology the

will undoubtedly be received, accord

more can be accepted.

NEW CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL UEST. WINS
SEWARD, UVALDA AND CHAR
LOTTE VOTE OVERWHELMING.
LY IN FAVOR OF THE CONSOL
IDATION-BONDS NEXT.
The election for consolidation of the
Seward, Uvalda and Charlotte school
districts, which was held on the 16th
instant, was carried for consolidation
by an overwhelming vote, according
to information obtained from the of
fice of county superintendent.
The next step will be an election of
trustees for the consolidated district.
After they are duly elected and qual
ified, the people of the territory with
in the, consolidated district will likely
petition such trustees to call an elec
tion for bonds so as to enable them
to select a site and erect a suitable
building adequate to the eeds of the
people.
The people residing in those districts
are to be congratulated on this for
ward movement and it is to be hoped
that they will not stop until they have
erected a modern and up-to-daie
building to accommodate the children
who so badly need better educational
advantages in order to grapple with
the complex problems of the future.
The right kind of education is of
priceless value. Our present system
of little one and two teacher schools
dotted here and there is soon to be
discarded for the five and six teacher
schools if the educational work is to
keep pace with progressive movements
in other lines of endeavor.

IN VIDALIA SATURDAY
CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE
MIDDLE CIRCUIT WILL SPEAK
AT CITY HALL ON SATURDAY
MORNING AT 10:30.
Col. Frank H. Saffold, candidate
for Judge of the Middle Circuit, op
posing Judge R. N. Hardeman, the
present encumbent, will speak at the
Vidalia city hall Saturday morning,
September 2nd, at 10:30 o’clock. Mr.
Saffold will go into a full discussion
of his platform and will tell the vo
ters of this section how he plans to
handle this important office if he is
honored with election.
Prominent Swainsboro Citizen
Endorses Him.
Last week’s issue of the Swainsboro
Forest-Blade carried the following
letter from Jesse Thompson, Sr., one
of the most prominent citizens of
Emanuel county, endorsing Mr. Saf
fold's candidacy:
Editor Forest-Blade:
1 have read with a good deal of
pleasure and interest several commu
nications in regard to the candidacy
of Col. F. H. Satfoid for Judge of
the Superior Court, all oi which 1
fully endorse. And like Mr. G. F.
Flanders said, can’t see how a man
can pass a candidate’s door four times
a day for half a life-time and then
vote for a candidate thirty miles away.
1 have known Col. Saffold for a
long time and 1 am going to support
him because I know he is fully quali
fied to fill the place, and a life citizen
of Emanuel county.
I have often spoken of his liberali
ty, of his kindness to his fellow-man,
and his care of those who by ties of
blood looked to him for assistance.
I have had occasion to place business
in his hands when he was opposed
by what I considered the best legal
talent of the state, and on each occa
sion he demonstrated a natural gift
as a lawyer and thorough knowledge
of the law. Therefore, I know that
Col. Saffold is fully qualified and
equipped in every, way to make us a
business-like judge for this circuit.
With all questions he will be perfectly
square, knowing no master save the
law. *
Believing this, I want to add to his
already very large number of support
ers my full and complete endorsement.
I cannot see how any man in Emanuel
county can afford to cast his ballot
against Col. Saffold. I do know that
any lawyer in the honest practice of
his profession will have misunder
standings and the interest of his case
will oftentimes make if necessary for
him to he harsh with his opponents,
and this, as a matter of course, will
arouse some feeling against ai lawyer
of that type, but love of Emanuel
county and a desire to give it a stand
ing equal td any county in ‘he state,
and to show to those who may come
to make our county their home that
loyalty of interests for the county’s
good and the citizens of the county in
every laudable ambition will do away
with petty strife and even hatred, so
that the people will unite as one man
for the advancement of one of our
citizens. Certainly this should actu
ate every citizen when the man about
whom I am writing is equal in ability,
equal in character, and equal in every
other quality which goes to make up
an ideal judge to any man.
No one who knows Col. Saffold
can doubt that lie is the embodiment
of all I have said, and I earnestly so-]
licit every voter in the county to vote I
for him, and I gladly give him this, j
my public endorsement. j
Respectfully,
Adv. JESSE THOMPSON, SR.
