(suggests colony
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
BE ESTABLISHED
Ed. Messenger:
I want to suggest to the people of
Walker County the wisdom of estab
lishing a colony for tuberculosis in
one of our mountains.
While other diseases susceptible to
control like typhoid, dysentery, diph
theria are markedly suppressed, at
this time scarcely having any preva
lence, tuberculosis cotltinues its rav
ages almost unabated causing more
sickness, expense and deaths than all
other diseases mentioned. This unaf
fected prevalence is due not to any
lack of knowledge concerning its mode
of invasion, no disease is better un
derstood in this respect, but to the
fact that it demands a different meth
od of control. Cases are numerous and
so long continued as to render quar
antine impracticable, besides confine
ment would be injurious to the pati
ent.
The vast majority of cases, practi
cally all except few acquired through
i the milk of tubercular cows are de
| rived from the matter expectorated,
coughed or sneezed from the chest of
pulmonary cases. So frequent are
these acts and so impossible does it
seem to impress tubercular subjects
generally with the importance of
guarding them, that separation from
them appears to be the only safe and
certain way of arresting the progress,
of this most dreadful affection.
When we remember that the popu
lation of Walker County is rapidly in
creasing, especialy that its manufac
turing plants are fast developing in
size and number, presenting populous
centers that are most favorable to the
spread of this disease and to which
centers tubercular people seem al
most naturally to gravitate; and again
and most emphatically recalling the
ideal conditions in our section, haying
positions o's territory of suitable alti
tude, little populated and therefore
easily acquired at small price, where
milk, the best food for such subjects,
fcould always be assured of the finest
quality and at minimum cost, good
water, pure and free from dust, in
vigorating climate in summer, a some
what rarified atmosphere in which the
disease germ seems not to grow or
spread quite so well; in a word a com
bination of conditions most favorable
to the recovery or longer life of the
sick, have we, possessing these facili
ties, any moral right as a county to j
withhold from thq afflicted such ad-]
vantages or from the well, such safe
ty?
Tubercular people who have no
family conections prohibiting separa
tion to some distance should go to the
state sanitarium at Atlanta. Every
citizen ought to encourage a move of
this kind. The colony here advised
would be for the benefit of families, or
members of families, who could not,!
without pain, be separated at long
distance.

MEMORIAL ADDRESS
DELIVERED SAT. BY
HON. ED MADDOX
Confederate Memorial Exercises at
the Methodist church last Saturday as
ternoon were attended by a goodly
number and were very impressive. The
church was decorated in lovely flow
ers, U. S. Flags and flags of the Con
federacy.
The musical program was a delight
ful feature. W. P. Jackson made a
short address to the veterans in which
he recalled some of the incidents of
the days of the Sixties. He was fol
lowed by Hon. Ed Maddox, of Rome,
who delivered one of the most thought
ful Memorial addresses ever listened
to by a LaFayette audience. Mr. Mad
dox showed the real causes of the
War betwen the States, and held that
the cause of the Confederacy was just
and in accord with the intent of the
framers of the Constitution of the
United States. He emphatically deni
ed that slavery was the cause of the
war, and urged his audience to see to
it that the rising generation did not
get that false impression which has
been made by sections not sympathet
ic to the South. The great issue of
the right of states, imbedded strong
ly in the Constitution, Mr. Maddox
urged was the real cause of the con
flict. His address was heard with a
great deal of interest, and was most
thought-provoking.
Following the services at the
church the flowers were taken to the
LaFayette cemetery and placed upon
the graves of the *Confederate dead.
Less than a dozen Confederate vet
erans attended the service, which pain
fully points to the fact that their
ranks are fast diminishing. A few
more Memorial Day occasions and
they will have all “crossed over.”
Preceding the exercises at the
church, the Daughters of the Confed
eracy served a most bounteous dinner
at the noon hour to the old soldiers.
CHICKAMAUGA BANK
CELEBRATES 14TH.
ANNIVERSARY
Fourteen years ago, May 2, 1910,
the doors of the Bank of Chickamauga
were opened for business with a capi
tal stock paid in of $15,000. The in
stitution has steadily grown the past
fourteen years, until now it enjoys a
large patronage and the last state
ment shows it is well-founded, strong
and is rapidly growing.
The growth of this bank ind : cp.tes
the progress the county has made
during' these years, and it is an insti
tution that the county people feel a
just pride in. It is officered by men
of sterling character and ren of
business acumen and broad vision.
The management is to be congratu
lated upon the splendid growth and
as the fourteenth anniversary is cele
brated today the people of the,county
felicitate the officers upon the magni- |
ficent record, and express cordial
greetings for a larger future.
FERTILIZER NOTES
In looking over the orders for fer
tilizers bought by the farmers co-op- |
eratively we notice a number bought
the raw material and are going to do
their own mixing. In the language of
Bro. Coley, this is as it should be.
A few days ago we had occasion to i
buy a bag of so-calied complete fferti- I
lizer to go under some early Irish po-;
tatoes. Nothing could be had biit a 10-
2-2. We wanted at least four per cent
of potash and applied it to get that
amount. See how much acid we lost in
order to get the desired amount of pot
msh. So it is more or les3 with all
crops. i
Where about the desired formula 1
can he mixed by uring so many bags j
which are all uniform weight, 200 lbs. |
it is much handier—saves weighing
and is not so coiffuring. For the con
venience of those Who do not care to
figure so closely we are giving below j
three formulas in terms of bags which
are as close as can be had without us
ing a ton as a basis weighing and di
viding bags.
For cotton, four bags of acid, two
bags of nitrogen and orm> of manure
sales. This will analyse about 9-4-2. ;
For potatoes and other truck—three
bags of acid, one of nitrogen and one
of manure sales. This analyses around
9-3-4.
Some believe that our soils have
suffeient potash for cotton. A good
mixture lees the potash is 2 bags of i
acid and one of niitnogen. This ana
lyses about 10-5.
If you care to rub up your school
day arithmetic and juggle with fig
ures, here is how we get at it. See if
we are right:
4 bags acid—6oo x 16%—128—9
2 bags Nit. —4OO x 16% —64—-4
1 hag Man. S—2oo x 20%—40—2
3 bags Acid—6oo x 16% —96—9
1 bag Nit. —2OO x 16%—32—3
1 bag Man. S—2oo x 20%—40 —4
2 bags Acid—4oo x 16% —32—5
1 bag Nit. —2OO x 16%—32-S
This is done by simply a«iu : ng Ihe
Columns of raw and divtd ; nj it into
what yju get from multiol/ing each
separate part of the raw by its give*
per centage of plant food.
Where Kain.it Is med instead of
Manure Sales, it re pur os tw» bng< in
stead of one as Ksinit has only 12%
pvtaofe, when manure sales has 20%.

Atlanta, Ga. April 26—One of the
most important actions taken by the
Georgia Bankers Association which
closed its state convention in Augusta

Charles B. Lewis, President of the

considering seriously the merit of co
operative marketing and the benefits
it offers to both producers and busi
ness men.
Mr. Black stated that it was withii)
the province of the cotton growers to
organize and market their products,
in an organized way the same as it
was within the province of bankers, 1
manufacturers, or other lines of busi
ness, to organize and to work togeth
er for mutual benefit.

unanimously approved the resolution.
It came up for action on the last day
of the convention and was unani
mously passed.
The resolution in full follows:
WHEREAS, Orderly marketing is
necessary to secure best returns from
our farm products; and
WHEREAS, The Georgia Cotton
Growers Co-Operative Association and
other co-operative organizations suc
cessfully operating in Georgia and us

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That we urge the bankers of Georgia
to give full consideration to the op
portunities for co-operative market
ing, giviqg their aid in making these
co-operative organizations in servnig

IN EARNEST HOPE TO SEE

A very interesting and enthusiastic
aneeting wus held Monday night at the
"sehoolhouse at Warren when the dai
[rymen of Warren joined themselves
together for mutual benefit. These
1 men entered into the spirit of co-oper
ation with a determination to make
dairying one of the principal sources
of income on the farms of Walker
county.
The most important thing done for
the present was to purchase feeds co
operatively at wholesale prices. A
coraYnittee was appointed to secure
j the best prices possible, and quite a
! large saving will be made by the dai
-1 rymen on this one item alone. Other
| things of importance were discussed,
among them being the organization of
a pure bred bull association. It was
pointed out by County Agent Saye
that by having a bull association each
community would get the service of a
pure bred bull for ten years for the
cost of one bull. The importance of
home grown feeds and permanent pas
tures were also stressed.
It is the intention of these men to
perfect a marketing system whereby
all of the dairy products produced by
them will be sold co-operatively at a
price which will give them some mar
gin above their expenses.
These men expressed the hope that
the dairymen of other communities of
the county will get together and that
a county association can be formed.
