CONNOR REPORTS ON
SANITARY CONDITIONS
Editor Tribune-News:
There has been some uneasiness on
the part of many of the citizens of
f ; : tersviMe, in reference to the sup
! sed insanitary condition of our city
v iter, and water supply system, and
general sanitary condition of the whole
TP y.
I felt it my duty to get the very best
report on this matter that could lie
secured in Georgia.
I therefore wrote Dr. T. F. Aber
.nombie, secretary of the State Board
of Health, Atlanta, Ga. I explained to
him fully the condition of affairs here
in Cartersville. I asked him and re
r,nested that the State Board of Heatlh
send the very best and most compe
tent man in Georgia up here to thor
oughly investigate every item in con
nection with our water system and
lock over the general condition of the
city, and make a report on same, with
out fear or favor to any one, and if
he found anything wrong, or needed
changing to say so.
I earnestly hope every citizen will
icad this report of Dr. Conner's which
Jobson Brings
Bigger Crops
To Our Farms
Georgia Boy’s Big Idea Sets
Farmers In Many States
To Talking—Leading Men
And Firms Get Behind It
In This County.
That the day of small beginnings
and ultimate greatness of accomplish
ment is not over is certainly proven
to be a fact by the case of John B.
Jobson, who, in the opinion of Atlan
ta capitalists, practical fanners and
government agricultural experts, has
given to the South and to the coun
try one of the greatest inventions of
the decade —one which, in the prac
tical words of Loring Brown, a lead
ing farmer and writer of Georgia, is
“now sweeping oyer the South, and
is going to give us a crop increase of
at least a fourth.”
Mr. Jobson has invented a plow—
that's all. He hasn’t wrought out a
new rapid-lire man-killer or fashioned
a model sword; but lie has, it is
thought, produced an idea that will
make available, without a penny of
extra cost, thousands of tons of nat
ural fertilizers that, have lain dor
mant right under the feet of the
farmers of the country, but which have
been so completely locked up in the
soil that they have heretofore been
of no profit whatever.
The Jobson System of soil culti
vation and this remarkable plow will,
it is claimed, open up new possibili
ties in soil tillage that have hereto
fore been impracticable and entirely
beyond the reach of the backbone of
this country—the “one-hoss farmer.’’
With its simplicity and practical
adaptability to the one, two or three
—horse stock; its easy adjustment to
clay, loamy, hard or shallow land;
its peculiar handling of the son so
that it can he worked several days j
earlier than the ordinary plow in
wet land, and its wonderful digging
and turning power which gives it
more efficiency per horse-power—all
jjt these combine to make it some
thing w'hlch has set the farmers of
this and adjoining states to talking
deep plowing as they have never ■
talked it before. .
That Mr Jobson's plow’ comes high- (
ly recommended is readily seen in
the hearty indorsements of such men
as F J Merriai 1 editor of The South
ern Ruralist ; V. A. Parker, vice presi
dent and general manager of Beck r
Gregg, one of the biggest hardware
firms in the south; W. L. Hunnicutt,
editor of The Southern Cultivator;
Hon. Jas. D. Price, Commissioner of
agriculture; Dr. J. R. Horn, of Lu
verne, Ala.; R. C. Carlisle, U. S. Agri
culture expert: E. G. Willingham, Sr.,
of Atlanta, and many others from all
sections of the country.
That this plow and the Jobson
Common Sense Methods have strong
hacking in this county can not be
denied when we consider the names
of the progressive dealers who are
helping to introduce the plow and
secure for our people the crop in
crease that will necessarily follow

was made to the State Board, and I
earnestly hope that all the recommen
dations in this most interesting and
valuable report will he DEMANDED
by the people at once.
It is needless for me to say that I
agree with every word in this rej>ort
cf Dr. Conner's, and earnestly recom
mend and trust that they will he
adopted by the city of Cartersville in
every particular as soon as possible.
We trust to secure the Intensive
Soil Pollution Campaign for and in

Atlanta,
t sar sir:
Cartersville ik the county seat for
Bartow county and has an estimated
population of 4,500.
. The public water supply is taken
from the Etowah riyer and is passed
through sand filters and treated with
licjuid chlorine before served the pub
lic. Examinations of this water made
at the State Board of Health labora
tory show it to be free of colon bacilli.
Near the water plant are three build
ings, two of which are used as habita
tions and the third building is used for
recovering barytes and this work em
ploys about 50 laborers." No sanitary
conveniences have been provided for
any of these buildings and the lack of
these facilities I regard as a grave
menace and an open avenue for pollu
tion of the city water before and after
treatment.
The sanitary conditions throughout
Cartersviile 1 found to he very had.
The city water can he furnished every
home in the city, hut there are no or
dinances requiring property owners to
connect with the city mains, and sur
face wells are still used to a great ex
tent. The sewer system reaches less
Gian 5 per cent of the whole. Surface
privies are found at many of the bet
ter homes—this condition alone is
enough to account for typhoid, as the
flies have complete access to the con
tents of these privies and can spread
the germs of typhoid fever, and it is
r.ot only possible but very probable
that many of the wells from which the
people now take water and think that
they are getting pure water are al
ready i>olluted from this source.
I visited all the school l houses in the
city and found a most deplorable con
dition existing. Outhouses have been
constructed, and the body evacuations
were in plain sight on the surface of
the ground and covered with flies, and
tiiese same flies after feasting will car
ry the filth of their legs and deposit it
later on some innocent child’s bread
or milk and in this way transmit the
disease. The conditions found at the

OLD HIDE ENGINEER
CAINS 20 POUNDS
Wouldn’t Take All Money in
Universe for Good Tanlac Did
Him—ls Second Oldest Man
in Point of Service S. A. L
R. R.
Everybody in. Jacksonville either
knows or has heard of Engineer Chas.
.1 Weeks, who runs the Seaboard Air
Line fast train "‘Fox'’ between Jack
sonville and Tamipa. Mr. Weeks bears
the distinction of being the second old
est engineer in point of service with
his road, having been with the com
pany for thirty-three years. He is a
man of very temperate habits, few
words and strong convictions. Accord
ing to bis own statement he has never
taken a drink or used tobacco in any
form. He not only hais a splendid rec
ord for efficiency as a railroad man,
tout is held in the very highest esteem
toy his fellow citizens in Jacksonville.
"I've gained twenty pounds on seven
bottles of Tanlac and feel as well and
happy as. I did when a boy,” said Mr.
Weeks to the Tanlac representative
who had called by special invitation
at his attractive residence. 2139 Lydia
street.
“For twenty years I suffered with
nervous indigestion of the worse sort,”
he continued, “and at times during the
past fifteen years I didn’t think 1
would last much longer. To tell you
the truth, 1 finally reached‘the point
where 1 didn't much care whether I
lived or died.
“After eating i would have so much
gas on my stomach and would get so
puffed up I couldn’t hardly fasten my
clothes on. My food would sour and
curdle, and I would have heartburn so
bad I would feel like a piece of hot
iron was lying in my stomach, and the
pains were simply awful. To tell you
the truth, I just don’t know how I
lived. T could eat no meats or sweets
of any kind, and for days .1 would have
to live almost entirely on bread and
water. God only knows how I suf
fered! I just can’t describe it. The
pains around my heart and the palpi
tation wefe so intense I thought at
times I must have heart trouble, too.
I couldn’t find anything to relieve my
troubles, although I tried hard.
“Tanlac was so highly recommend
ed to me that I bought a bottle and

Looky here, folkses, this is a personal letter to you. I want you to regard it as just
as important as if I had written it direct on my typewriter and mailed it to you in a sealed
envelope under a two-cent stamp.
The whole human race today is aware of the fact that this old earth is passing thru
a great crisis, and that SOMETHING of a far-reaching consequence to the people must be
the result. The human mind is in a questioning attitude, wondering if this reallv is to be
the end of the old saying, PLEASE CHARGE THIS TO PAPA.
Now, dear readers and friends, why not begin paying cash for your eatables and
hear us say
Thanks awfully,
JIM SHAW.
I cannot express in words how grate
ful I fee’, for the good it has done me.
Just think cf it—a few bottles of this
medicine has made me feel better than
I have in fifteen years—it seems al
most unbelievable, but it's the plain,
sample truth. I can now eat anything
placed before men, and. everything
agrees with me perfectly, and I enjoy
i my sleep as much as a child, and 1 in
I feeling just fine in every way. I feel
| so nimble 1 think I could hold a good
nrrner a tight foot-race.
“Tanlac has entirely relieved me of
the things that troubled me so long,
and I just don't know how to express
my gratitude. I wouldn’t be in the
same shat* I was in before for all the
money in the universe.
‘•lt anybody doubts mv statement
you can just tell them to write me a
personal letter and I'll answer it. I’ll
be only too glad to have the opportun
ity of telling them what this great
medicine has done for me.’
Tanlac is sold by Young Bros. In
