Vaccination The Only Preventive.
Mb. Editor—Some three weeks
ago I instructed the clerk of the J
board j of county commissioners to
correspond with various county au-
thorities, city and county physicians
as to the best and most economical
way of treating smallpox. Fearing
we were going to have an epidemio
of that dreadful disease, I wanted
all the information I could get in
order that the board could aot intel
ligently in the matter. Two letters,
one from the city and bounty physi
cian at Oolumbus, Ga., and one from
the city physician of Macon, Ga.,
were the most practical we received.
I quote a portion of Dr. Ledsinger’s
letter, from Ooluinbus, Ga.:
“I am sanitary inspector of Co
lumbus, Ga., and have charge of all
contagious diseases, both in the
oounty and City. My method of
treatment is simple: Keep the bow
els open and the fever down, and af
ter patients have broken out grease
them every day with carbolated vas
eline, 10 per cent strong. This id
all we do for them. Isolate all cases
v that have been exposed to the dis
ease fifteen days and vaccinate them.
Give patients plenty fresh air and
plenty to eat. The main thing to
get rid of smallpox is vaccination,
isolation, thorough fumigation of
houses and patients where disease
has been.”
Every one pf twenty-odd letters
stressed the fact that vaccination
was the only means of stamping it
out, and hence the action of the
board, (as appears in the published
minutes) is toward thorough vacci
nation. The landowners and people
generally can materially aid in this
work by vaccinating and encourag
ing others to be vacoinated. There
is nothing more tVue than that suc
cessful vaccination will keep one
from having this dread disease. In
Russia all children have to be vacci
nated and entry made in a record
book, and a certificate of successful
vaccination issued to every child.
In Germany every May the children
whiehi haVe been born since the Majy
previous are vaccinated, and the offi
cials have to see that it is successful.
la six hundred cases of smallpox
in Muscogee county treated by , Dr.,
Leisinger, not one of them had been
successfully vaccinated. Dr. O. O,
Gibson of Macon, Ga., says: “Out
of four hundred cases, not one of
them was ever successfully vaccina
ted. Thi? faot should be conclusive
evidence 'that vacoination is, we
might say, the only preventive. I
think it would be wise for your
county to enforce vaccination, espe
cially among the,negroes, for there
is where we get nineteen-twentieth
of our smallpox.”
So, if we will all act together, we
can, lessen the expense and stamp
out the disease.,

school and community to have Rev-
Albert S. Dix of Perry with us on
last Friday afternoon, who gave us
au excellent lecture on education.
His talk has instilled a great deal of
interest in both patrons and pupils
on educational lines and will be of
lasting good to the community Af
ter the lecture Prof. Murray, our ef
ficient teacher, took a collection for
the library, and has about forty dol
lars, all told. We expect to soon
have our library well filled with
good books.
It was also our pleasure to ha\e
Bro. Dix preabh for us at the Bap

Peach Industry and Agriculture.
In the Macon Telegraph last
Saturday appeared the following
interview, the gentleman making
the report being one ot the most
progressive farmers of Houston
county:
“The peach industry is on a
boom in Houston,” remarked Mr.
J. W Aultman yesterday to a
Telegraph reporter. ,‘The people
are setting out trees by the hun
dreds and thousands. I never saw
anything like it. Over a thous-
and aores around Dunbar, in what
is known as the upper fifth dis
trict, are being devoted to peaoh
culture. This is merely a begin
ning of what the industry will be
in Houston. There will be sev
eral thousand acres planted in the
course of a short time.”
“Farming property has advanc
ed to $50 and $60 an acre, and it
is hard to obtain at these prices,”
said Mr. Aultman, “on account
largely of the unprecedented peaoh,
culture. T. H. Willingham and
his brothers are planting 1.000
acres in EJbertas, and other vari
eties. Dr Baskin, Judge Felton,
the Massees, the Dunbars, Hugh
Arnold and others are investing
heavily it) peach trees.
“The farmers in Houston are
diversifying their crops to their
finanoial advantage. They are
raising a good deal of wheat, aver
aging from 12 to 80 bushels per
acre.”
