THE AMF.HK AN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Entered at the LaFayette, Ga.
nostoflli e for transmission through
(he mails as se< ond-class matter.
Madison Square is blooming with
a great crop of Democrats just
now.
The value of the products of the
agricultural clubs for last year to
taled over two millions of dollars.
Compare “America First” with
the Beatitudes and then make up
your mind about this country en
tering the League of Nations.
The Republican Campaign Will
Follow the Lines of Precedent-
Headline. What other lines could
they follow; the Democrats are
precedent breakers?
By the way they talk and vote
some people not only don’t want
the children of their community to
get an- education but don’t even
want them exposed to it.
The legislature began Wednes
day. Aside from the routine mat
ters necessary to be done that body
would do the best session’s work to
puss the Bi-ennial sessions bill and
go home.
If the Republican convention
was the tamest affair of a cn‘my,
the Democratic convention Is the
livest. Everybody who reads at u.l
knows there is u convention on in
New York.
The problems of Georgia and her
needs are too great to be handled
by a peanut politician legislature.
Statesmanship and not the brand
of politics we have is Georgia’s
greatest need right now.
The people of the state must
wake up and leiminate the offico
aeeking politician and elect the
strongest, the most honest and ca
pable men to the legislature; it is
our only hope of redeeming the
state and developing Georgia re
sources.
The value of the poultry pro
ducts in the United States for the
year IS>23 has been announced by
the Agricultural department as
over a billion dollars. When one
thinks of it then* are not many in
dustries of the country producing
u billion dollars a year.
Mammon versus the child and
the verdict for Mammon is the way
borne people still vote when the
school proposition is submitted.
The difference between money and
the child is that money perishes
with the using while the child re
mains tlmiughout the Ages.
The enemies a man makes is
pretty good indication of the type
of man he is. Take a squint at the
enemies of McAdoo and you’ll find
the wets, the nigh wets, the Wall
Street speculators, and the greed
of self-interest organizations. A
pretty good bunch for a big man
to have as enemies.
We can't warm up to the pro
posed state bond issue with the
present management of the State
Highway system. We are not op
posed to the issue if Georgia could
get value received, but we are a
fraid of -She -present system of ad
ministration judging from past and
present experience and observa
tion.
THINK ANI) OBEY
Every day brings victims of au
to accidents, due to carelessness
recklessness and a spirit of disre
gard for the laws of driving.
Many laws have been enacted
against the speed artists and care
less driver in order to safeguard
human life, and to make the high
way a safe place on which to
travel.
While grown-ups fail to observe
the laws oftentimes, there is a cus
tom or practice over the country
of letting young boys drive cars in
this state under sixteen years, of
age. It is against the law- to per
mit a boy under sixteen years of
age to drive an auto. In our own
community this law is not being
observed, and we call upon the
parents to obviate this infraction
of law by not permitting their
boys to drive cars unless they are
of the age prescribed by law.
The boy does not feel the res
ponsibility that an older person
does and this law was enacted to
prevent accidents from this source.
We may not prevent many acci
dents but parents can prevent ac
cidents by observing the law in re
gard to boys under sixteen driving
autos. Let us in this county at
least obey the law and not turn
the steering wheel over to boys or
giris under sixteen.
Does your .son drive your car and
Is he under sixteen years of age?
If you allow him to drive your car
then you are encouraging him to
break and not obey the law. It may
have been thoughtlessness on your
part, but think a little and obey
the law and prevent accidents from
this source.
FOR A LARGER
DEVELOPMENT
The power lines of the Georgia
Railway and Power Company from
Lindale via Summerville, LaFay
ette, Chickamauga and Rossville
connecting with the Tennessee
Power Company at Hale’s Bar, are
r.earing completion and within a
few weeks will be connected and
ready for use.
Just what this means to this sec
tion of the state, cannot be esti
mated; it certainly means a great
er development of this section,
more manufacturing enterprises, a
greater stimulus along all lines of
constructive and productive endea
vor, cheaper power rates and an
enterprise that will create a strong
or prosperity.
Large manufacturing plants will
be attracted here when it is learn
ed that this section has sufficient
power at reasonable rates because
the climatic conditions, water,
market faciities, health conditions
and a people friendly to industry
are already here in inviting mea
sure.
Wherever the lines have been
placed throughout the various sec
tions of the state, a remarkuble in
crease in prosperity and progress
have followed, and there is no rea
son why this will not be true of our
section.
Those who have been instrumen
tal in bringing the power lines
through this section deserve com
mendation for it means a new day
of progress and in developing our
wonderful resources.
In this time of Georgia’s need of
her strongest sons to fight her bat
tles and solve her problems suc
cessfully, and to rescue the state
from a bunch of political dema
gogues and office seekers, and to
drive out corruption and usher in
honest, and sound administration
principles, the citizen who says he
is not interested in politics has a
narrow conception of his duties as
a citizen of a great state.
It’s mighty hot but push through
that sun grin into a broad smile
just the same.

SOME FACTS
About The Biggest Single
Business In The World
THE l!. S. POST OFFICE |

The biggest single business oper
ates through postal savings, the big
gest savings bank in the world. Its
| total deposits in 1923 were $134,458,-
105.29. The United States Govern
i ment stands back of this bank.
The American people make good
use of the money-order system too. In
: 1923, the amount of money sent by
money orders was $1,376,000,000.
There were more than 172,000,000 or
ders issued.
These figures do not include the
' funds sent abroad by international
money orders, which totaled $34,118,-
000. At the same time $19,255,000 in
money orders issued abroad were paid
! in the UniteJ States.
Then there is registered, insured,

VIGOROUS FIGHT
ON TUBERCULOSIS
IS PLANNED
By J. H. Hammond, C. H. C.
Successfully to keep the germ out j
of the body in the ways that have ’
been explained, would in a generation'
or two, put an end to tuberculosis
forever.
However, the world is hard to a
rouse and entire success cannot be I
hoped for. Fortuntaeiy there is an
other method of prevention, of ex
ceedingly great value, that the indi
vidual can apply for his own perso- j
nal protection, independently of the
conduct of others. This consists in
developing and increasing the body’s;
natural resisting power, fortifying it
against invasion, so that it will be
able to cast out the bacillus or des
troy it even after an entrance has
been effected, before it has taken hold
of the system or sickness resulted.)
Precisely the same principles are ap-;
piled in the treatment of cases after
infection has resulted in actual sick
ness. What are these principles of in
dividual prevention and treatment?
In every case of tuberculosis as well 1
as in every other infection—the body j
is engaged in deadly conflict with the
germ and the toxin the germ is con
stantly producing. Although we have
no medicine that will directly destroy
or even weaken the germ—but do not
be mislead—medicines are of use for
secondary purposes, we should not be
idle. If the body is to win out it should
receive good treatment.
If the country were engaged in
battle with an enemy we would see
that our soldiers were supplied with;
plenty of the best of food, warm!
clothing, comfortable quarters in :
which to rest and recuperate; all
things that strengthen and encourage,
would be supplied, all that weake i.
and discourage, withheld. With this
help, if forces were equally matched,
we would have reason to hope for I
victory; withhold such help and de
feat would almost be certain. These'
are the principles to be employed in j
every case of tuberculosis. The body,
for the most i>nrt, must wage its own j
battle. We cannot quite reach the ene-|
my with medicinal agents, but we can:
see that the natural forces are cared |
for in away to maintain them at
their very bevt fighting capacity. If
this care is postponed till late, the
body may be so exhausted that it will
not be able to rally, but if started
early, the prospects of recovery are
good. If three cases receiving on«y
ordnary care recover, whiie only one
succumbs, then surely the combative
force of the body must be superior to
that of the bacillus. What are the
means employed to still further
strengthen the natural forces?
I advise every on,e, as soon as he is
apprised that he has the disease, tt> do
as Harold Bell Wright did in h:s own
case. Wright did not art defiantly nor
did he tamely .surrender, b::: ’medi
ately consulted his doctor for that
plan of treatment that would offer
the greatest hope of recovery. Having (
obtained advice, he followed it strict
ly, and, though considerable advance
had been made by the disease in his
case, his faithfulness was rewarded
by a good recovery. The story of his
recovery, written by himself, is good
reading.
Os the means to be used, I may
mention three that are essential:
Fresh air, Nourishing Food, Rest. !
Disaster is sure to follow any one" of
these. Thorough ventilation both day
and night should be maintained; re
member that pure night air is better
than foul night air.
The body is exhausted by disease
somewhat as it is by physical exercise,
yet in disease the digestive power
may be reduced, hejj.ee, plenty of food
that is easy of digestion is eall’ed for.
Milk and eggs are considered best, but
any nourishing food that can easily be
digested is suitable.
When free from fever moderate
exercise may help to keep one fit, but
do not forget that the body has en
ough to do, most of the time, fighting
the disease and therefore it should not
bo exhausted by undue exercise.
Summary:
1. Tuberculosis is caused only by
the bacillus tuberculosis, is not heredi
tary.
2. Human tuberculosis can be ac
quired only from man and cattle.
3. To prevent it destroy tubercular
cattle and keep pulmonary cases from
expectorating in the open, from
coughing and sneezing with the face
uncovered, or drinking from a com
mon cup.
4. As additional means' of preven
tion secure the removal of suitable
cases to sanitariums and provide a
place near home for others.
5. Tuberculosis is curable in an ear
ly stage, the essential means, being,
Fresh Air, Nourishing Food, Rest.
MRS. G. W. BAILEY
The angel of death visited the home
of G. W. Bailey on Oct. 7. 1923 and
took from us our dear wife and moth- j
ed. She was 63 years old at the time!
of her death. She was sick only a short!
• while with acute indigestion. Oh how
; sad it is to not see her smiling face
and hear her kind words anymore but I
we will meet her some sweet day by 1
and by for she was a good Christian i
woman and loved by all who knew f
her. She professed a hope in Christ;
early in life and joined the Methodist
church at Pleasant Hill where she re-j
, mair.ed until her death. She was nev- j
er tired of doing something for the
Master. Our hearts are saddened by
1 her going away but God doeth all
: things best.
She leaves a husband, one sister, i
i four daughters and one son and a host
of relatives and friends to mourn her
going away.
Jesus make us brave and strong,
Keep us safe from every wrong; j
May we all her words obey,
May we follow her always.
