MOKE PEAT/IS FKOM HEART
DISEASE.
U. S. Census Bureau statistics,
covering some 65 per cent, of the popu
lation of the country, and for the
year 1913, disclose the fact that 30
per cent, of the deaths reported were
caused by three diseases tuberculosis,
pneumonia and heart disease. The
number of deaths from tuberculosis
was ‘.i3,421; from heart disease, 93,112;
from pneumonia, 83,778. In nine
years the mortality from tuberculosis
fell from 200.7 per 1,000,000 to 147.0
per 1,000,000. In thirteen years, the
mortality from heart disease went up
from 123 and a fraction per 1,000,000
to 117 for every 1,000,000 deaths.
This increase in the number of
deaths from heart trouble of various
sorts is worth stopping to consider. It
has its causes, and it is well to inquire
what these are.
It is safe to say that the use of
cigarettes is the cuuse of many of the
deaths from heart disease that make
up this alarming increase. It is a well-
known fact that the use of tobacco is
dangerous to the heart, and no form of
its ubc is aB perilous as cigarette smok
ing.
Of course, the feverish life of the
people of to-day especially the life of
city people—is well calculated to bling
on heart failure. We live under a
constant strain. We are in a hurry
about something or other from year’3
end to year’s end. The heart is kept
on extra duty much of the time day
and night, and finally breaks down.
We need to go back to simpler ways;
to less extravagant eating and drink
ing; to find our stimulants in proper
exercise, not debilitating beverages; to
avoid the excitement of all intoxi
cating recreations, and to have a prop
er regard for the laws of health. Dis
regarding all these, we may prepnre to
pay the penalty in an increased num
ber of sudden deaths.
THE
NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAM-
DA KIN.
Coming events east their shadows
before, and it requires no great politi
cal prevision to foresee, from certain
glimmerings and shades here and there,
what may be expected a year hence.
The Progressive party is practically
dead. The Inst Progressive member of
the United Stutes Senate has an
nounced himself a candidate on the
Republican ticket for re-election.
Politicians nre generally pretty well
able to sense a situation, and what
they think —especially what they say
and do—may he taken ns worth more
than the straws which show which way
the wind blows.
Of course, nobody knows what
Theodore Roosevelt will do. He will
do the unexpected, we may be sure.
But leaving his possible future course
out of the calculation, it is more than
probable that the contest next year
will be between the Democrats and
Republicans.
In view of this prospect, the Demo
crats, if they hope to remain in power,
must get together and stay together.
If the Democrats should divide into
factions, or if there should be luke
warmness in the ranks, the result will
hardly be in doubt. A divided Democ
racy in 1916 will mean a defeated
Democracy.
Georgia Drainage Congress.
The fourth annual meeting of the
Georgia Drainage Congress will be
held at Albany May 12 and 13. The in
dications are that it will be the most
interesting and successful meeting in
its history.
The (Jeorga Drainage Congress was
organized in 1912 to promote drainage
of swamp lands and stream control.
There is hardly a State in the Union
that has more interest in this question
than (ieorgia. The (ienerul Assembly
passed in 1911 an excellent Bnd com
prehensive law for the promotion of
drainage, establishment of drainage
districts, and the proper financing of
drainage projicts not by single indi
vidual effort, (which in most cases is
impracticable,) but by collective work.
Proper drainage can be accomplished
in no other way.
But we need more legislation, and
must present a united front to perfect
the law and to give encouragement to
the utilization of Georgia’s large
acreage of wet and oveflowed lands,
rich in agricultural possibilities, but
now useless for want of State encour
agement and co-operative effort.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geolo
gist of North Carolina, will address the
Congress and tell us what North Caro
lina has done, and why she is so far
ahead of other Southern States in
effective drainage. What she has done
we enn do. Mr. S. W. McCallie, our
mvn State Geologist, will tell us of ac
tual physical conditions in Georgia, il
lustrating his lecture with lantern
slides. Mr. S. W. McCrory, Chief of
Drainage Investigations, Department of
Agriculture, a recognized expert, will
deliver an address. There will be prac
tical and interesting talks and papers
from other distinguished men.
The importance of the Southern
States in connection with this question
was acknowledged by the National
Drainage Congress at its meeting last
year in Savannah, when it elected as
its president Hon. E. J. Watson, of
South Carolina. He will attend and
make an address. Hon. N. E. Harris,
Governor-elect of Georgia, has promised
to attend and we have strong hopes
that Gov. Slaton will be present. Dr.
Soule, of the State College of Agricul
ture, has expressed his earnest desire
to attend.
The municipal authorities and the
Chamber of Commerce at Albany have
cordially invited us, and will do all in
their power to make the meeting a
success.
No special qualifications are necessary
for attendance on the congress. The
fact that the subject interests you as a
good citiz.en is alone sufficient. The
officers, however, would be much grati
fied if counties, cities, towns, boards of
trade and chambers of commerce
throughout the State would give official
recognition to the congress and appoint
delegates. Address all communications
to the secretary.

MORELAND.
The memorial exercises held here on
the 20th ult. were an unqualified suc
cess. The school children did well in
their rendition of the old patriotic
songs. The main feature of the oc
casion, however, was the address by
Col. W. C. Wright, of Newnan. His
address on “The Old South” was a fine
piece of oratory, and greatly enjoyed
by the large audience present. After
the exercises the children marched to
the cemeteries and scattered flowers on
the graves of the old soldiers. The
occasion was a memorable one, and the
credit for its success is due to Capt. P.
A. Carmical, who managed the affair.
The play given last Friday night by
the young people was a great success.
A large crowd was out and enjoyed the
play very much.
Mrs. Fannie Camp, who has been
suffering from an attack of the grip, is
quite ill at this time.
Mrs. Hugh Camp and two children
have gone to Cook’s Spring to spend
the summer.
Next Sunday is “Mother’s Day,” and
will be observed with a special service
at the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing. Sermon by the pastor. At night
the services will be turned over to the
children, who will render the “Chil
dren’s Day” programme, consisting of
songs and recitations, etc.

Some people love to be in the wrong.
Otherwise why don’t they come over to
the right side when we reason with
them?
It’s sometimes easier to settle down
than it is to settle up.

’695
Official figures compiled by Com
missioner of Agriculture Price show
that during the present season, from
Jan. 1, 1915, to April 28. 1915, there
hud been 4,741,965 tons less of com
mon-ini fertilizers marketed in Geor
gia than for the same period last year.
These figures are based upon the num
ber of fertilizer tags sold by the
department. From Jan. 1 to April 28
this year fertilizers sold in the State
aggregated 7,795,140 tons as against
12,741,965 for the same period last
year. This was 50.47 per cent, of the
1914 record.

A Georgia editor thus apostrophizes
the sweet vernal season: "The dove
can be heard softly calling to his mate,
the red bin! is perched high up in the
poplar tree, the cackling ot the hen can
bo heard in the barnyard, the lizzard
can be seen on the log taking a sun
bath, the fish are beginning to bite, the
women folks are visiting around in the
settlement, an! th > horny-handed sons
of toil are turning old Mother Earth
bottom side upward —which reminds us
that spring is nigh."
While in Atlanta last week Ger
aldine Farrar, the frisky little prima
donna, paid a visit to L to Frank in his
cell at the Fulton county jail, and
after looking him over declared that
he was an “innocent man.” That’s
what Burns, the “great detective,”
asserted. That’s what all Jewdom
say. In fact, Frank says so himself.
