THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1921.
^NGHKSSHAN WRIGHT RESENTS
c0 PUBLIC HEALTH REPORT.
Washington, July 30-Joining other
Southern membera of Congress in the
Bo ,“ that reports of the pubUo health
concerniSg an •‘epidemic-' of
lincra in tho South are exaggerated
pc i misleading, Representative William
r* Wright, F^rth Georgia district, yes-
Ln,v read on tho floor of the House a
telegram which he had received from
ftnunissioner Abercrombie, of the Gcor-
‘ T ?‘ Hoard of Public Health, concerning!
pellagra conditions in that State. The
telegram said:
“Deaths from pellagra first six
months 1920, totaled 193; first six
months of 1921, totaled 196, an increase
of three over corresponding period of
last year. Telegrams received this
morning from all sections of Georgia
not only show there is no Increase but
„ many cases health officials who are
in position to know say there is a de
crease in both cases reported and
deaths.”
Notwitsh standing this telegram, Mr.
Wright pointed out, the Federal Public
Health Service report estimates 100,000
cases of the disease in tho South, and
thnt 10,000 deaths will result.
‘‘After tills report, became public,”
said Mr. Wright, ‘‘I inquired of the
pellagra division of the Public Health
Service for facts and statistics as'to
Georgia, but was informed they had
none and detailed statistics from Geor
gia are not received by the bureau. 1 It
is impossible to ascertain from the bu
reau the number of cases of pellagra
hi Georgia, the number of deaths result
ing from it, or whether the disease is on
the Increase. And yet tho startling re
port is given publicity that there are in
tho South, of which i Georgia 1b nn im
portant part, some hundred thousand
cases of pellagra.”
Mr. Wright said that the Public
Health Service report attributed “tho
alleged increaso of pellagra to insuffi
cient and improper nourishment of the
people, resulting from their Inability to
purchase food on account Of the henvy
decline in the price of cotton.”
“How is famine possible,” he con
tinued, “in a Slate of practically three| BIG POLITICAL MACHINE,

she reoolves many millions from hor nat

marble, iron, coal and other minornls,
and from her various manufactured pro

“Candor and truth require me to ad
mit,” said Mr. Wright, -that tho peo

crisis, brought about as an aftermath
of the World War and the blighting ef
fects of the unprecedented slump in the
price of cottony together with, the great
damage,.which lias nqd is being wrought
by the • boll weefll. But famine nnd
hunger are not stalking abroad in Geor
gia, and its people are not asking alms.

some laws under which to live nnd a fair
market forthe fruits of their toil.”
In concluding Mr. Wright expressed
appreciation of 1 tho President’s “anx
ious solicitude and deep interest in the
mutter under dlscuBsibn. ”
‘.‘But,” he added, “we are at n loss
to know from wlmt Bourse and in what

We have wntohod with interest tho
efforts made by Senator Brown to secure
tho uppolntmcnt of a special committee
with full power to lnvoBtlgnte the State

The Department of Agriculture is tho
biggest political machine in Georgia,
with ramifications reaching out into all
the counties of tho State. It would be
a mutter of interest to know just how
ninny of the Commissioner’s nppointess
are related to members of the General

Publicity docs good. All departments

everything is all right, thou tho O. K. of

Every department of State, county
and municipality should be audited onco

The people have a right to know how

But for a well-oiled, sllek-runnlng and
powerful political niaehino, the Agricul

RETURN OF AMERICAN DEAD
FR.OM EUROPE.
' According to tho War Department the
number of unidentified American dead
in France lins been reduced to 2 per cent.
The work of exhuming bodies in England,
where Southampton is being used ns n
shipping point, and in France outside
the battle area, is already under way.
It is expected that the work of trans
ferring the soldier dead to American soil
will take more than a year’s time. The
bodies of Americans buried in Germany,
Luxemburg, North Russia and nil other
hostile countries will; be retnriiuil to the
United States, whether such return is
requested by relatives of the dead sol
diers or not. In France, however, only
those American dead will be returned
whose families request such action. It
1b expected that the families of about
two-thirds of the American dead will re
quest the return of the bodies.
Officers of the cemeterial division of
the army estimate that about 78,000
American soldiers who died in the war
are now buried in Franco, in addition to
about 5,000 American marines. There
are 111 bodies yet remaining in North
Russia, and it is probable that nothing
can be done toward their removal for at
least one year, or until conditions in
Russia become normal.
It is. estimated that between 26,000
and 30,000 bodes will bo left in France,
where they will be placed in various per
manent American cometeries. Ono of
these permaneAt cemeteries will bo loca
ted at Surenes, just on the outskirts of
Paris, hnd Still contain the graves of
4,000 Amercans who died in -service.
When these permanent American ceme
teries are established al 1 the Amer
ican expeditionary force cometeries will
be abolished.
The cemeterial division of the War
Department estimates that the average
cost for the removal of each American
body from France to' its home ia the
United States will be about $600. It
estimates, that the burial expenses of
each American body which will remain in
one of the permanent American ceme
teries in France will be between $200
and $250.
During the heat of battle and the
rapid movement of contending armies
many bodies vfere necessarily buried in
isolated locations and in sections where
future maintainance was impossible.
The grave registration service of the
U. S. Army took tho initiative in attempt
ing salvage of bodies. Altogether, about
40,000 bodies have been transferred,
some 10,000 isolated graves having been
removed in one battle area alone.
, In Italy all bodies have bden concen
trated in one place, and the matter of
their transfer to the United States will
be easily effected.
OBITUARY.
Tho home of Mr. und Mrs. H. B. Pit
man was made happy on Feb. 14, 1918,
when a beautiful little boy was born into
their Homeland later receivod the name,
Robert Earl. Then on July 8, 1921, the
town of SharpBburg was shocked by tho
death of little Earl, who was slek only
throe days with thnt awful disease, diph
theria. Earl was only 3 years old, but hail
won his way Into many a heart. Ho was
but a tiny boy, but he left a great void
in the home, in the Sunday-school—every
where—for overyone knew nnd loved
him. He will be sadly misBed by all
who knew him. Seemingly a heavenly host
appeared and called, snylng: “Earl,
the Master calleth for thee I ” Then,
without a struggle, the spirit of the
dear boy went to be with God. We feel
that ho has just slipped away, and is
now in the upper, brighter and bettor
kingdom, to await the coming of those
who loved him here.

-. NO FORMULA FOR LOVE.
Vinton' Eagle..
A Chiengo preacher Is telling the
youth of his flock how they may know
if they happen to foil in love. Anybody
who falls in love will know it, ajl right,
without any diagram ' or signboard-
from either priest or pagan. Reminds
us of the seaBick man: His wife asked
the doctor what she should do for him,
and tho limn of medicine replied,
“Don’t do anything; he’ll do it.”
There is no formula for love. It is as
perennial as the flowers ill tin! spring
time, and like the wind it bloweth where
it listeth. Its symptoms are so natural
and yet so uniform as to absolutely pre
clude the" possibility of a wrong diag
nosis. In variety, hBwover, love is cos
mic. , It ranges from the puppy sort of
our extreme youth to the staid affection
with the reverence which we obtain in
old age.- In oither, or any case, it is
the best and‘finest and noblest of liurhaq
emotions,

actually earned them on the battlefl-
or in military service, or on the bench.
For many years past it has been tho
custom in Georgia, as in otjier South
ern States, to call every lawyer “colo
nel” after he has reached middle age
and a reasonable amount of distinction—
except in the event he wears whiskers—
when he is called “judge” instead.
Many of the gcntleihen on whom these
titles have been thruBt by usage are far
from desiring them, and are really em
barrassed by their use. The class of peo
ple who want such titles without meriting
them is so small as to be negligible. The
type has passed who u?ed to sing or
think—
‘ ‘ I want to be a" colonel,
And with the colonels stand;
A cockade on my hat,
And a cocktail in my hand.”
Most of the $puriqUB colonels of today
have npt usurped, 'their titles! They
have hail them simply thrust upon them
by a usagg which they deplore. In fact,
the leaders in the movement to do away
with the general use of the titles are
well known attorneys whose friends have
been for many years calling them colonel
against their wishes.
A fellow-merehapt dropped in the oth
er day to have a word with a business
man downtown. Everybody except the
boss seemed cheerful and the men about
the office fairly beamed.
“Your clerks seems to be in a rare
good humor,” observed the friend,
he took a scat.
“Yes,” said tho other. “My wife
has just been here and it tickles them to
death to jfiee somebody bossing me
