Memorial Day Issue
As will be seen from the an
nouncement made in another col
umn by the Daughters of the Con
federacy and the Daughters ofthe
Revolution, next week’s issue of
the Messenger will he edited by
the members of the two organiza
tions in this county.
1 The effort will be made to make
it an historical issue ofgreat value
and interest to the people of
Walker county, with special at
tention being paid to the part
played by the soldiers of Walker
county in the Civil War. There
fcill be a number of articles,
however, touching 0.1 the early
history of the county, and many
interesting illustrations.
The Messenger is glad to pause
for one week in the year in its
work of chronicling present-day
happenings and turn to the glory
crowned events of the past. The
present generation knows little of
the early history of Walker coun
ty or of the part her citizens took
i:i the civil war. It is for this
purpose—to discharge what we
conceive is a duty—to do our part
toward preserving the early his
tory of Walker county, that our
offer was made to the two organ
izations. We hope to make this
an annual feature, until the his
tory of Walker county and Walk
er county people has been well
and fully written.
Correspondents who send in
letters next week should make
their communications brief, giv
ing us the more important news.
We hope to make next week’s is
sue unusually large and inter
esting, and while every effort will
lie made to have the paper reach
our subscribers at the usual time,
we trust they will not censure us
should the paper be a little late.
We like one plank in John M.
Slaton's platform—tiiat of per
manent registration.
Tin 1 Walker County Hoys'Corn
Club should lie larger, but here's
luck to those who joined.
Considering its short duration,
the campaign for county offices
should l»e a fierce tight while it
lasts.
Nationally, as Mr. Dooley says,
the issue of the day is “dili
gates." Hut iu Walker county
the issue of the day is votes.
Remember, the place of county
commissioner is one of the most
important offices for which nom
inations are to he made on May
Ist.
New Use For School Houses .
A modern high school has just
I built on the plains in Harper
county. Kansas, far from town or
village. It stands on a five-acre
plot, where space has been laid
out for demonstration classes in
agriculture. The building has an
auditorium with a seating rapaci
ty of •'$()(), It is proposed that the
new school shall serve also as a
civil and social center for the
township in which it is located.
Lecture courses and political and
literary meetings will be held
there for the benefit of the farm
ers and families who find little
, leisure to drive miles to town. The
building contains domestic science
and manual training laboratories
aud a fully equipped gymnasium.
WALKER COUNTY MESSENGER, APRIL 19, 1912.
Let’s have a Clean-Up Day, Mr.
Mayor.
The county authorities are giv
ing the tax payers fair notice of
their intention to double tax
them unless they get listed on the
tax digest.
S: ys E. ’/enu •Duni-u, director
of the census: “The census
statistics show i grea cr percent
age of increase of iigte.-uMural
wealth and manufacturing indus
try in the south during the past
decade than in any oilier section
of the country, except Ibe far
west.’’ And we will pass the far
west before long.
Ope of the sad tragedies of poli
tics occurred in Albany recently
when J. W. Walters, jr., solicitor
of the city court of Albany and
one of the most prominent attor
neys of South Georgia, committed
suicide—his action being attrib
uted to a scurrilous attack made
on him in an anonymous circular.
Such political methods make'the
strong clean menof our state hesi
tate and halter before entering a
right for political office.
Merited Honor
A week ago in the presence of
the provost and trustees of the
University of Pennsylvania there
was unveiled a bronze medallion
in honor of Dr. Crawford Wil
liamson Long, a student of the
class of 1889 of the medical school
of the university. His alma mater
thus worthily honored one of the
distinguished medical discoverers
of this country whose name and
place in our medical history is
perhapsnot as familiar as it should
be. There seems no doubt now
that just two years and eight
months before Horace Wells, and
four years and six months before
Morton made use of sulphuric
ether in surgery, Dr. Long, then
settled in a small Georgia town,
on March 80. 1842, removed pain
lessly a small glandular tumor
from the neck of James W. Ven
able, 'his patient during the opera
tion being under the anesthetic
influence of ether. A second
operation under the anesthetie
was done in July of the same
year, a third in September, 18.48,
and a fourth in January, 1845.
Dr. Long made no attempt at the
time to publish a report of his ex
periences, and it was not until
1849 that an account of his oper
ations appeared, being called
forth by a report of Morton’s
work.
Many, forgetting the debt
which early American medicine
owes to other southerners, may
feed surprise that the first practi
cal operation of this anesthetic
should have been made by an ob
scure surgeon in a remote corner
of the south. The celebration of
this seventieth anniversary of the
first operation done under an
anesthetie in modern times, says
The Journal of tlie American
Medical Association, will serve to
remind us of the part played by
southerners in the medical history
of the tirat half of the nineteenth
century.
