Georgia's War Against
Tick,
Washington, D. C , July 10. —If ade
quate funds are available, it is estima
ted that the work of eradicating the
tick in Georgia should be completed in
the first, and by 1919 it was possible to
free 1,407 fquare miles. In 1911 only
1625 square miles were freed, but since
- that time the number haa been increas-

20,sl’4 square miles nad been freed, and
it was expected that ticks would be a

ment by the Judges of the Supreme
Cou-t.
The election of Judges of Superior
Courts by the people has always been
five or six years. Up to the present 93 employees engaged in the work of
timer 6,926 miles have been released j eradication. The work is being com-
from quarantine, but much work must pieted in twelve counties, with the hope

On April 1, including all county, 1 cy—those broad, comprehensive politi-
State snd Government men, there were ca | ideals that have for more than a
to have quarantine regulations removed.
The cost of the work at the end of
1914 had amounted to *254,582, of which
the Federal Government paid *146,890,
the State of Georgia *57,029, and the
counties *51,473. The great need at
present is increased appropriations by
the State and counties. During the
past two or three years the State De
partment of Agriculture haB co-opera
ted actively and energetically with the
Federal authorities, but the interest in
the work of county officiBlB has in gen
eral been inadequate to carry on the
work with sufficient rapidity. As a
matter of fact, the more rapidly the
work is done the less it costB per square
mile of territory freed. Much of the
expense is due to the campaign of edu
cation necessary to Becure co-operation
on the part of the farmers, Bnd this
campaign must be carried on whether
the results are discouragingly slow or
not.
For the first two years after the work
was begun no territory at all was freed,
although the Federal Government ex
pended over 110,000 the first year, but
the State appropriation was only *46
The second year the Federal Govern
ment spent $7,290, and the State and
counties nothing at all. Thereafter,
however, the practical value of getting
rid of the ticks was more thoroughly
realized by the farmers themselves,
and State and county appropriations
have been increasing regularly ever
since. The results were immediately
noticeable. In 1913, 1,969 square miles
were freed; in 1914 , 974, and on March
1 of thiB year, 2,911 square miles.
The authorities in charge of the work
confidently believe that further exten-
eive releases will follow at intervals
hereafter. Much of the work that has
already been done does not show, of
course, in the amount of territory re
leased, but more and more farmers in
the quarantined are»s are becoming
convinced of the many advantages of
tick-free stock. In the first place,
the production of milk in dairy cattle
and the weight of beef cattle are both
increased to a most important extent.
Moreover, it is possible to improve the
grade of stock in tick-free sections,
whereas this i» quite out of the ques
tion as long as the country remains
tick-infested. To import a valuable
bull for breeding purposes into a tick-
infested urea would be a pure waste of
money, for the animal would die of fe
ver in a very short time. The value of
the hides of tick-free cattle is ulso much
increased.
Some time ago the Department of
Agriculture «ent to a number of stock-
breeding farmers a series of questions
on the effect of tick eradication in their
neighborhoods. These replies show that
the average per cent, of gain in weight
in territory that has been freed from
ticks was 19 14, the quality of the cat
tle was said to have improved about
one-fourth, and the average milk pro
duction had increased 23 per cent. The
average increase in vaiue tor each head
of cattle in the eleven States affected
was calculated to lie *9.70 In Califu -
nia, however, it was placed as high as
*15. These figures, of course, are not
scientifically exact, but they represent
the opinions of men vitally interested
in the whole matter.
The work in Georgia is being csrried
on both by education and by practical
assistance. Literature is distributed,
lectures and exhibits given, and demon
strations of dipping held. The practi
cal work consists of systematic disin
fection of the cattle by dipping in ar
senics! baths, by excluding the animals
from infected pastures until the ticks
die of starvation, and by quarantining
(in those counties which have undertaken
to free themselves from the pes'.l farms
whose owners refuse to consent to dip
their stock. Co-operation in this con
nection is, of course, a necessity for ef
fective work.
For some reason, however, the people
of Georgia have not been as enthusias
tic in the work as their neighbors in
Mississippi. The work in that State
•tarted a year later than in Georgia.
systematic work —the term used to de
scribe the eradication of the ticks by
regular dippings at stated intervals—
has been inaugurated in five new coun
ties. Preliminary educational work has
also been started in thirteen additional
counties, four of which are in the
southwestern part of the State, near
the Florida line.
“Mother Was in the Way.”
John Fltrgfrald in Anniston Star.
In a forgotten grave in the corner of
a. country graveyard a mother lies
sleeping.
Summer's Run and winter’s chill have
played fantastic games over the roof of
this home of sacred dust and left their
marks of decay.
Wild flowers alone, planted by na
ture’s sympathetic hand, pay tribute
to the sweet bouI that here lies sleep
ing.
No voice comes up from the grave to
tell the story of human wrong—no
avenging ghost walks forth to point
the finger of guilty accusation.
Yet the grave represents a murder—
murder as black as hell.
Mother was in the way. She was an
unwelcome intruder in the homes of
the children Bhe blessed with life, and
her last days on earth were made sad
by the knowledge that the tieB of blood
were brittle, and she was murdered.
Murdered? Yes, in helplessness, and
the sons and daughters with affairs of
their own too important to neglect in
mother’s behalf, are the murderers.
In the mocking glare of the world
they move and smile, free and unac
cused. They receive the smiles and
honors of their kind as they each draw
nearer the day when old age and help
lessness shall come to them, and no one
dreams that their souls are as black as
perdition. A look into their mocking
faces does not reveal the mark of Cain,
yet it is there, and Bomewhere in the
Btnothered conscience a small voice ib
crying out in helpless protest.
After the glamo ir and mock-glorv of
this world is passed and they have
plucked the last fruit from the tree of
knowledge they will stand revealed in
the awful presence of that sweet-old
face in a land where no dark secrets
are hid. Self-accused, they will turn in
silence to their self-ad judged reward.
Mother was not murdered with a 'elected by the people
dagger at the heart or with a deadly
poison. That would have proved em
barrassing. Mother was slowly tor
tured to death through neglect, and but
for the steady devotion of one out of
many her heart would have broken and
her mind collusped long before God saw
fit to remove her hence and place her
amid the joys abundant prepared for
those who have loved Him.
Mother was in the way of one be
cause that one could not look after
mother and attend to the wants of a
household. Mother was in the way of
another because his wife objected, and
still another pieferred to pay the main
tenance of mother rather than admin
ister little acts of loving kindness with
his own hands.
They shed a few hypocritical tears,
and wept bitterly. The public lamen
tations were loud, long and vehement.
The tears, iind the mourning that fits
the figure well are convenient, and
serve to hide the rotten guiltiness of
the soul within. They do not know
that real grief hides itself in bitter si
lence and cries out alone in the
speaking caverns of the heart.
Tnis is an isolated case. Scores of
graves in every quarter of the glob*, if
they could reveal their dark secrets,
would echo the accusation here made.
Mother was in the way.
century been inculcated by real leaders
of the people. It is the great democ
racy that will finally rule the entire
civilized world, and it is no departure
from those principles to oppose the
popular election of Judges of our trial
courts.
The reason for this opposition in
volves the close contact of trial Judges
with the people, and the inevitable po
litical entanglements that result. Many
of our heBt lawyers are comparatively
poor men. They devote their lives to
the pursuit of their profession, having
little time or inclination to build up
their fortunes, and there iB really little
opportunity to do so out of the salaries
they receive. When a lawyer becomes
a Judge he can engage in no other
business. After he serves a term or
two on the bench, of course his cli
entele is gone. If he is displaced it
iB necessary to start all over again.
This is no small proposition, even to the
best of them. Many very good Judges
are advanced in age, and it is a hard
ship to be thrown suddenly out of a job.
Necessarily they want to prevent such
an occurrence.
As matters Btand our Judges are sub
ject to all the vicissitudes of politics.
At any time they may become the vic
tims of a hostile political faction, par
ticularly if in the honeBt discharge of
their duties they have incurred the ill-
will of that faction. Some heated po
litical contests have been witnessed in
Georgia ove- these Supt^ior Court
Judgeships. In a few instances they
have not been very creditable affairs.
It iB particularly humiliating to a Judge
to be forced to ‘’stoop to conquer” in
order to retain his office.
A good Judge ought to be kept in
office. He becomes thoroughly familiar
with the duties of the office and can
perform them more satisfactorily than
a novice unfamiliar with the routine.
Many good lawyers do not make good
Judges, and many good Judges would
not make good practitioners. This has
been demonstrated time and again.
The Tribune-Herald does not hesitate
to condemn the present method of
selecting our trial Judges. It should
be discontinued. This is a matter of
paramount importance—the necessity
is pressing for a change. In our opin
ion the best method of selecting trial
Judges is by appointment by the Su
preme Court, in connection with the
Governor.
It is ail right for Judges of the Su
preme and Appellate Courts to be
They are not
thrown into close contact with litigants
and interested parties, and the same
re isons do not govern as in the selec
tion of Judges of the Superior Courts.
Tne Tribune-Herald urges the Repre
sentatives from this county to support
the bill for changing the manner of ap
pointing these Judges. We believe the
vast majority of honest and intelligent
people are with ub in this matter, and
we hope that they will add their voices
to ours in demanding this change.
The present method is bad. Election
by Legislature has frequently been dis
cussed, and the concensus «. f opinion
among thinking people is in line with
the method we have suggested.
We hope that the Legislature will
take quick and decisive action.

Tribute of Respect.
Walter C. Fuller was born June 11,
1859, and died May 17, 1915. He joined
Bethel Baptist church at the age of 19,
and was a faithful, consecrated mem
ber, ready to help the cause in every
wiy that he could. His home was al
ways open to his pastor and fellow-
members. He stood first and last for
right, being a man of deep convictions,
and in his death the church has lost one
of its hest members. Yet we feel that
our loss is his eternal gain. As a fath
er he was a good provider for his fami
ly, and kind and devoted to his wife
and children. Our prayers go out to the 1
bereaved ones. We can only point them j
to fine who “doetb all things well,” in >
their sad bereavement. Jesus will make
the rough places smooth if they will j
only trust in Him.
Bro. Fuller was buried at Bethel cem
etery, a great concourse of sorrowing
friends attending the funeral. Dr. S. B.
Cousins, of Lutherville, who conducted
the service, paid a glowing tribute to
our deceased brother, after preaching
an able sermon.
Bro. Fuller leaves a wife, two boys
and three girls to mourn their loss. We
would say to them, Do not grieve as
those wfio have no hope, for “the Lord 1
giveth and the Lord taketh awaj;j
blessed be the name of the Lord.”
We recommend that this memorial be
spread upon our minntes and a copy
furnished the family.

Obituary.
In loving remembrance of little Ralph
Maynard, who was drowned on Satur
day, May 12, 1915, in a lake near his
home, while fishing. He was born Nov.
16, 1907, being 8 years, 5 months and 28
days old at his death.
In school Ralph was bright, kind arid j
obedient, being a favorite with all who
knew him. He was a great lover of the
bible. Scarcely a day passed but that
he would ask his father or mother to
read and explain some portion of the
scriptures. On the day before his death
he came to hiB father and asked him
how he thought it looked in heaven,
saying “he wished he could go there
and see how it looked and come back
and tell them. ” Ifo doubt the angelB
were then beckoning him home.
To the bereaved parents we extend
our keenest sympathy in their loss, anj
bow in humble submission 10 the will
of Him who “doeth all things well,”
remembering that “no affliction seemeth
joyous, but grievous, but afterward
worketh out a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory.”
Though we miss him sadly, we know
his sweet spirit is with Him whom he
worshiped and adored above all earthly
objectB. His Teacher.
FCh HOW LONG ?
Newnan Raises a Pertinent Ques
tion.
When a neighbor tells us that he has
recovered from a serious illness, the first
question that naturally arises is,
“How long will he keep well?” Tem
porary relief is one thing, but a last
ing cure is altogether different. There
is nothing temporary about the work
of Doan’s Kidney Pills, as the following
evidence proves beyond a doubt.
Mrs. H. W. Jennings, 78 Murray St.,
Newnan, says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills
have cured me of severe pains across
my hack, weakness in my hips and
loins and other annoying kidney ail
ments. You can use my indorsement
whenever you choose, because I know
Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of all
the praise I give them.” (Statement
given Feb. 18, 1911.)
On Feb. 15, 1915, Mrs. Jennings
said: ‘The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills
made for me has been a lasting one and
I have had no return of my former
triubie.”

All Blood Disorders
Quickly Driven Away
Astonishing Results With the Greatest
Purifier Ever Discovered.
Strength, Power, Accomplishment are all Typified In S. S. S.
Some blood disorders become deeply
rooted In the glands and tissues, and the
mistake is made of resorting to drastic
drugs. These only aggravate by causing

selection of Its own essential nutriment
and the medicinal elements of this match
less blood purifier are just as essential to
well balanced-health as the nutritious
elements of the meats, grains, fats and
sugars of our dally food.
Not only this, but If from the presence
of some disturbing poison there is a local
or general interference of nutrition to
cause boils, carbuncles, abscesses and
kindred troubles, S. S. S. so directs the
local cells that this poison Is rejected and
eliminated from their presence.
Then, too, S. S. S. has such specific
stimulation on these local cells as to p-e.
serve their mutual welfare and a proper
relative assistance to each other.
In a very brief time s. S. S. has the
reconstructive process ’so under control
that remarkable changes are obsevetl. All
eruptive places heal, mysterious pains and
aches have disappeared, and from head to
foot there Is a conscious sensation of re
newed health.
From the fact that S. S. S. Is purely
a botanical preparation, It Is accepted by
