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.
