Keep Cool and Coolidge, say the

The boll weevil will get you if

like a Chinese radio concert, don’t

The Wets and Conservatista have

‘ The Governorship of this state
hasn’t lost its charm yet—quite a

primary.
Good schools, good churches, oil

a modern hotel.
Senator Lodge has been dislodg

opposed President Wilson.
Georgia still holds her title an

Smith would have a mighty poor
chance for President in Georgia or
any other office as for that.
While Wall Street, the wets, and
machine politicians fight McAdoo,
he still wins the states and is go

the one man upon whom the drys

Some farmer in Georgia, it is
Btatcd, has produced a type of cot

but his name has not been given.
If he can do it his name will be
highly honored and a fortune will

In this day and time every child
In Walker County is at least en
ttiled to a high school education.
It is a rather serious responsibili
ty for one to take to be among
those who would deny the children
of a community the right of an
education.

The awarding of the clean-up
campaign prises last week closed
one of the most thorough-going
clean-up campaigns ever put on in
this community, and nobody re
grets having cleaned up. Let's
keep it up all the year round.
One of the biggest developers
for this section is the power lines
of the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company, which will soon be
completed. New industries and
therefore more people should fol
low the wake of the power lines,
but all good things come to those
who go after them.
The Rock Springs Consolidated
School district votes on a $16,000
bond issue for schoolhouse and
equipment Saturday. This is an is
sue worth while to every citizen in
the district because it presents an
opportunity to the people of that
district to really show their real
interest in their own children—the
biggest asset any community has.
Here’s hoping the issue will be suc
cessful.

FAIR PROFITS
The farmers’ co-operative mar
keting association is not a sweet
morsel in the mouth of the specu
lator, the middleman and the orga
nizations to whom the farmers’
products have been sources of
great profit to themselves.
The fact is however, that the co
operative association during the
past two years of its existence has
shown clearly that the farmer
needs such an association and that
the farmers can stick together un
der wise leadership.
The three fundamental things on
which the association stands are
that the farmers control their own
selling of their crops; that proper
grading and gradual selling be
come realities and that all the prof
its of the marketing of the farm
crops go back to the farmers.
These principles are sound and
are working for the interest of the
farmer and will within a remark
ably short period of time bring the
farmer to a position of power to
which he fundamentally and right
fully belongs.
To get the farmer to see the
merit of the association, to effect
the organization was a huge task,
but tried and tested for two years,
the results are manifest that it
means a new day for the farmer.
When a pound of cotton soils for
twenty cents and the farmer pays
five dollars in cloth articles for
that same pound of cotton manu
factured, it is seen that something
is fundamentally wrong, there is
too much profit to somebody but
that profit dosen’t go into the
farmer’s pocket.
As long as the association stands
upon its premises and the funda
mental principles organized on, we
believe it is the best kind of or
ganization for tha farmer, and it
should have the active support of
the farmers.
Mr. Farmer, if you are not a
member investigate the operation
and principles of the association
and see if it isn’t a good thing for
y ° U \. •
The growth of this community is
well reflected in the postoffice re
ceipts. The past few years the La-
Fayette office has grown until on
July Ist it will be in the second
class and in another year this of
fice should be entitled to a build
ing, the receipts for qualifying for
a building being shy only about
SIOOO. Rossvilie has jumped into
first class and negotiations for a
building have been pending a long
time. Here’s hoping she will soon
get a nice building to which she is
entitled.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
June 15. 1809.
Below will be found items of news
published in the Walker County
Messenger twenty-five years ago,
which will be of interest to the
readers of the Messenger today.
The welcome and generous rain has
helped the feelings of every tiller of
the soil.
At Emory the Phinzy Medal for
the best essay in the Sophomore class
was won by a Walker County boy.
Miss Clara, a daughter of Judge
and Mrs. W. M. Henry, after spending

the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, of Milledgeville, to attend the
Student's Conference at Asheville, N.
C.
The trustees of the LaFayette High
School have re-elected Prof. Reid and
his assistants. They believe the school
offers unusual ad\antages, which the
increasing patronage given it shows
it is being appreciated.
Henry and Scab Shaw, of Duck
Creek Valley, whose word goes, have
been getting the better of the rats or.
their place. They have brought death,
by drowning, to 301 of the night
prowlers. The trap used is an iron
pot about half full of water, on which
is sprinkled every night a pint of cot
ton seed.
The sale of government stock, wag
ons and harness at Battlefield, closed
Friday. Eight hundred and thirty six
mules brought $67,000. Mr. A. E. Dai-
[Walker County Messenger, June 13,192.4.
ton, of Summerville, bought 27 head,
all of which were choice and carefully
selected. Another sale will probably
be made in about 30 days.
Saturday an examination was. held
of th«se who might be candidates
for the position j>t C. S. Commjsvon
er, made vacant by the death of the
lamented L. C. Rosser. Those taking
it were Mis. M. E. Stansbury, Capt.
Jackson, Profs. J. E. Rosser, Ckas. R.
Jones, and R. L. Powell. The papers
were all creditable, but the one who
made the highest average was Prof.
J. E. Rosser.

VIGOROUS FIGHT
ON TUBERCULOSIS
IS PLANNED
By. J. H. Hammond, C. H. C.
The very first misconception I would
like to correct is that which relates to
heredity. The new knowledge of the
past few years has made it clear that
the disease is not transmitted by in
heritance, or, if such a method is pos
sible at all it is so extremely rare as
to be unworthy of consideration, but
by contagion, a living germ that pass
es easily from the sick member to the
well members of the family on ac
count of their close association. No
wonder to us now that in the past
ages when the world knew not that a
living seed capable of producing the l
disease, a germ, the bacillus tubercu
losis, was ejected from the mouth of
those sick with the disease through
the medium of the sputa in countless
millions, was sprayed into the air by
coughng and sneezing, when all drank
from a common dipper, that tubercu.
losis was believed to be transmitted
by blood from generation to gener
ation, was a family disease; the mys
tery is that any escaped to t)v<ffr
doubt on the doctrine of heredity. One
practical point may be admitted here;
some types of constitution, which may
be inherited, are especially susceptibb
to tuberculosis; but just as there are
some soils that grow corn better than
others, yet none that can produce
without the seed being planted there
in, so no constitution, however vulner
able, can grow consumption unless the
germ, the bacillus tuberculosis, shall
get within the body. Each individual
acquires the disease himself, does not
inherit it.
Another misconception, too common
at present and seemingly almost uni
versal in the past, is the belief that
tuberculosis is incurable. This error
like the one just discussed, by discour
aging effort at recovery, and by de
pressing the spirit of the sick which
retards improvement in any disease,
has in the past added enormously to
the fatality list and even in our own
day, when we can certainly and proud
ly point to splendid advances made a
gainst this merciless and heretofore
invulnrable enemy of mankind, when
new light is breaking and cheerful
voices can be heard coming back from
those unselfish hard workers in the
field of investigation engaged as we
may say, on a voyage of discovery
and conquest, affording hope that fur
ther gains jvill soon be mads in this
fight against tuberculosis, tha world
seems too apathetic, too slow to apply
the effective means that have been
placed at our disposal to be used in
this greatest work for man.
But let us get back to our propo
sition that tuberculosis is curable. Ac
curate records show that about 14
deaths in every hundred are due to
tuberculosis. Thorough examination
by the most competent men of large
numbers of bodies, demonstrates that
about 70 of every 100 dying from all
causes show scars in their bodies
caused by tuberculosis, all of whom
except the 14 whose deaths were caus
ed by tuberculosis, had recovered from
that disease and later succumbed to
some other affection. In other words,
of every four persons having tuber
culosis one dies of the disease and
three recover. Results like this ought
to put energy into our efforts to pre
vent and cure and bring encourage
ment to those who have, or fear they
may have, the disease, for with the
prospects now before us, there is rea
son to believe that even better results
may be achieved in the future.
The first problem we have to con
sider when instituting measure for
the suppresion of tuberculosis is, how
can it be prevented? The solution of
this problem is so simple and easy
that it does not amount to a problem;
the only thing necessary is to keep
the seed that produces the disease, the
bacillus tuberculosis, out of the body.
Everyone knows that to exterminate
an objectionable vegetable it is es
sential to keep the seed that grows it
out of the ground. To exterminate tu
berculosis from the world by this
means would be a very much easier
process than would that of eradicat
ing any vegetable, for we know ex
actly where to find the tubercular
germ, which so far as that variety
which is capable of causing human tu
berculosis is concerned, exists only in
cattle and man.
Facilities for testing cattle are a
vailable usually without cost or with
little expense, and every one ought to
be anxious to have the test made.
When tuberculosis cattle, which will
be found to be but few in this country,
have been removed, the only remain
ing source of supply wili be lung
cases of people. These subjects expec
torate the germ in their sputa which!
is distributed by the fly to favorable'
places for ingestion, and also after 1
drying it becomes incorporated with 1
the dust and is inhaled, spray it into!
the air by coughing and sneezing
'whence it may be drawn immediately
into the lungs by those near, and a
gpin deposit it in countless numbers
1 on drinking vessels that have been in
contact with their lips.
These are some of the meet common
■ways in which the germ is passed to
i the well. It is clear that there would
'■ be little danger in association with
1 consumptives if they could be induced
ito guard ejections from the mouth
i and nose. To expectorate only in a
proper container, cover the face with
a handkerchief when coughing and
sneezing, and always to use a sepa
rate drinking cuj} would almost re
move the menace. However, these pre-
I cautions can not be secured in a great
majority of cases.

What You Need Is a Good
Tonic For the Kidneys”
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they~work day and night in separat
ing and the poisons from the blood.
Their signals of distress are easily
recognized and include such symp
toms as lumbago, backache, depres
sions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need _to be flushed
occasionally; The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons
from the blood. Under this con
tinual and perpetual action they are
apt to congest, and then _ trouble
starts. Uric acid backs up into the
system, causing rheumatism, neural
gia, dropsy and many other serious
disturbances. It means that you are
a victim of uric acid poisoning. Then
ask your druggist for Anuric (anti
uric acid) and you will very soon be
come one of hundreds who have been
helped by this powerful enemy to
uric acid.
Dr. Pierce manufactures Anuric
(kidney-backache) tablets and you
can obtain a trial pkg. by enclosing
10c and addressing Dr. Pierce, In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
