CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD. VOLUME XII. 'NUMBER % OTATE ASYLUM REPGRT Investigating Committee Find No Fault With the Institution. Favorable Comparisons With Other Sanitariums Are Made---Training School for Nurses. Atlanta, Ga. — That the Georgia Btate Sanitarium at Milledgeville is as well conducted as any in the coun try, and at a lower per capita cost than any similar institution in the United States save two, is the sub stance of the report made to the board of trustees by a committee of the board composed of Drs. T. R. X‘;“z’tllt gs Augusta, E. Bates Block anta, and T, M.- Halll of Mil ledgeville, R These physiclians were appointed a special committee of the board to in vestigate by personal visits and oth erwise into the organlization and methods employed in other similar institutions throughout the ecountry. In their report they make a detail ed statement cemparing the organi zation and plan of operation of va rious other sanitariums in the Unit ed States and suggest certain im provements and innovations at Mil ledgeville, Among the changes desired are the establishment of a training school and library for nurses and a nurses’ tome, similar to those in practically every other large hospital of the country; an increase in the local med fcal staff, a thorough system of ex aminations on patients entering the hospital and detailed records of the progress of patients, s The treatment of tubercular pa tients comes in for attention, and the necessity for segregating persons SO | afflicted, and also for segregatingthe sane and insane epilectics, the fee ble-miinded and the criminaly insane, is discussed at some length. BRANCH BANKS UNLAWFUL. Ruling by Attorney General Hart to That Effect. Atlanta, Ga.—Branch banks within the state of Georgia are in violation of the state banking law, declares At torney General Hart, in a written opinion, , Judge Hart holds that one bank, no matter : what the amount of paid-in ® capital stock may be, cannot organ ize a branch bank in the™same city, =0 il an ptaer city aitiiough it may may be received. ‘~ The matter grew out of an applica tion from a Tennessee bank firm to establish a branch bank -in Georgia without being incorporated under ‘tne laws of this state. The attorney gen eral holds that this connot be done. INVESTIGATE HOOK WORM. | Floyd County Medical Society to Con duct Research. | Rome, Ga.—Steps are now being ta ken by the Floyd County Medical So ciety whereby the hook worm evil is to be investigated in this county. What has made this important search possible is the offer of John H. Reyn olds, president of the First National Bank of Rome, who has proffered the‘ financial aid necessary for the under taking. | Dr. George B. Smith, who has in terested himself in the study of the hook worm and who represents the medical society in the coming inves tigations, will begin among the school children of Floyd county, in order to ascertain if there are any evidences of the hook worm’s presence,-and it go, will take proper steps for its elim ination. e NEW STATE CODE. Legislative Committee Begins Work on Judge Hopkins Code, Atlanta, Ga.—At a meeting of the legislative committee appointed at the last session of the general assembly to examine and report upon the new state code, prepared by Judge John L. Hopkins of Atlanta and to be pur chased by the state for the sum of $6,500. Senator H. A, Matthews of the twenty-third district, was elected chairman of the committee, dnd it was decided to begin the work of examination at once. The committee is composed of Sen ators H. A. Mathews of the twenty ithird, W. H. Burwell of the twentieth, ‘Representatives W. R. Jones of Meri \wether, W. F. Brown of Carroll and A. A* Lawrence of Chatham, The new code will include all laws of the state through 1899. SURVEYING FOR NEW RAILROAD. Northeast Georgia Citizens Enthusi astic Over Gainesville Midland, Cleveland, Ga.—lt now seems evi dent that northeast Georgia will have a railroad in the near future. The engineering corps, who 'are making a survey under the direction of the Gainesville Midland, are in camp a mile' or more above Cleveland. If this road should be built, it will open up a fine section of country. The proposed route will be run through some fine valleys of fertile farming lands, also there are large tracts of timber lands and undevelop ed water power, besides pyrites and asbestos mining interests, The’ citi zens are very enthusiaxtic over the road. - WLENDON WINS FIRST DECISION. Deposed Railroad Commissioner Given Decision Ey Savannah Judge. Savannah, 'Ga.—Honorable S. G. McLendon, deposed railroad commis siomer of Georgia, won his quo war ranto proceedings’ against' Joseph™ F. Gray. | _ Judge Charlton handed down a dé cision in favor of the deposed former ‘chairman of the railroad ‘commission. This means that the judge upholds McLenodn’s claim to the office, - In deciding the case, Judge Charl ton said. “If an officer is proceeded ‘against for cause, he is entitled to no ‘tice and a hearing, and if he is not ‘given notice and a hearing the_action ‘against him is as if it had never been. in this connection it is pertinent to observe that so far from a discretion ary power of removal having been conferred upon hearer, he had no pow er to remove. lie suspended and it was the general assembly that re moved. The method employed was not that of impreachment and was therefore not that required by the laws of Georgia. “Under impeachment proceedings the senate could not have removed the relator without a two-thirds vote. The vote it actually gave was a ma jority of three and of the eighteen men who voted in the negative sev enteen put themselves on record as entertaining Yviews on the unconsti tutionality of the act of 1879, which, if persisted in, would have made the impeachment impossible.” SESSION OF 1884 LEGISLATURE. . Great Reunion of Georgia Lawmakers of That Year Planned. Atlanta, Ga.—An extraordinary ses sion of the state legisalture of 1884 5 may be called at an early date by Governor Henry D. McDaniel, Such an occurrence will be most unusual, but it was discussed very seriously at a meeting held in the of fice of Judge Richard B. Russell of the court of appeals, attended by Judge John C. Hart, attorney general of Georgia; ex-Governor Willlam J. Northen; John W. Lindsay, pension commissioner, and T. H, Niblack and Colonel B. F. Abbott of Atlanta. All the above were members of that leg islature, For the business in hand, these gen tlemen decided that Governor Brown, the present administration and the leglslature of 1909-10 would have to be ignored. On the occasion of this extrarordinary legislative session, any man who was not a member of the notable body which met in Atlanta in November of 1884 wil be a rank outsider. ¢ The legislature which met that probably contained as many men who have since risen .in nositions -of greater prominence in tue state as | arry “legisia s body ';—‘:S- ver et in the state. . That was the legislature wlech Henry W. Grady adjourned “in the name of the American people” on the occasion of the first election of Gro ver Cleveland as president. Hon. W. A. Little of Muscogee, was speaker of the house. United States Senator A. S. Clay was a member, as were Congressmen William G. Brant ley, Charles F, Bdrtlett and former Congressman F. Carter Tate, Dr. W. H. Felton and Judge A. W. Fite rep resented Cobb county, Ex-Governor Joseph M. Terrell at that time represented Meriwether. Colonel Obe Stevens, now a member of the railroad commission, was the “gentleman from Terrell,” and Thom as Eason, formerly a member of the prison commission, was the ‘gentle man from Telfair.” FUND TO PROTECT COTTON. Farmers of Georgia Will Have $5, 000,000 at Their Disposal. Macon, Ga.—Five million dollars will be at the disposal of the farm ers of Georgia to meet their outstand ing debts by the middle of November —probably earlier, Of that amount $3,500,000 has already been secured and is deposited in about one hun dred banks in different localities of the state, subject to the call of the one hundred or more consolidated union warehouses. By this plan the farmer will be en abled to meet all his obligations with out the sacrifice of his cotton and through the plan Georgia farmers will be able to realize the value of his holdings. GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. “From all indications the price of cotton will reach 18 cents by spring,” was the statement made by Commis sioner of Agriculture Thomas G. Hud son, “It may come by Christmas, maybe not before spring, but there are many reasons to predict the ad vance to this high figure,” continued Colonel Hudson, “The shortage of the crop and the general conditions will be respomnsible for the advance. [ do not think that the Georgia crop will reach over 1,600,000 bales. It may be 1,700,000 bales, but the first figures appear to be correct., I do not think that the total crop will be over 10,000,000 bales, while the con servative estimate will be that Geor gia will prcduce one-sixth of the en tire output. There will be no second crop this year and cotton is all about lp." A rather peculiar instance of rapid transit for Uncle Sam’s postal ser vice was brought to light whean Mrs. Sam Jones found in her postoffice box at Cartersville a letter that had been ‘mailed in Atlanta, October 15, 1906. ‘Just a little more than three years \trom Atlanta to Cartersville, forty eight miles, No one seems to be able to ‘explain the delay of over three years in delivering the missive. FOLKSTON. GA., NOVEMBER 11. 1909. PELIAGRA CONFERENGE Physicians Meet at Columbia, S. C., Form a Pemanent Body. It is Said That Mrs. Russell Sage and Andrew Carnegie Will Give Money for Campaign Against Disease. Columbia, 8. C.—“ While we regard Mr, _Rocket’eller’s princely gift for the eradication of the ‘hook worm st its true value, we say one million dollars for the battle against the disease of peilagra would be fare more valua ble,” declared Colonel E. J, Watson, South Carolina’s commissioner of ag riculture, commerce and industries, in an address on the economic fac tors of the pellagra problem in South Carolina, before the first national conference on pellagra. Colonel Watson has made a careful study of pellagra, hecause of the gen erally accepted theory that it is due to the consumption of impure corn and corn products, Unless preven. tive measures are taken without de lay, he said, the corn industry will be seriously . threatened. He declar ed that not only the federal govern ment, but the corn-consuming states’ as well must put intg force a rigor ous inspection of corn and corn prod utes. ) ' Dr. George A. Zeler, superintend ent of the State Hospital for the In sane, Peoria, 111., views the situation with alarm, and in concluding an ad dress, telling of the recognition of pellagra in Illinois and the*means ta ken to control it, declared he believed the country is threatened with a na tional scourge. While the majority ot the 5,000 identified cases of pellagra in the United States are in the south, the disease is by no means confined to this section, and Dr. Zeler predicted that it would very soon be as wide spread throughout the entire Missis sippi valley as in the south. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Zelelr touched briefly upon the hook worm, and created a mild sensation when he suggested that many thou sands. of the federal prisoners who died in the confederate stockade 9§ Andersonvile, Ga., during the civi war, were victims of the hook worm. “And, perhaps, after all,” declared Dr. Zeller, ‘“the monumewd recently erected at Andehsonvile to the mem ory of;Captain Wirz, commandant of that p'g'ison, is not so much out of place 4s'so many of us at the north have wont to beljeve.,” . . .. - but . the distiled spirits of grain, “corn licker, plays an important part in the cause of the dread pellagra,” was declared by more than one of the distinguished physicians in at tendance. And upon these men who are met to investigate what ot this country is considered a ‘“new” dis ease there is a growing conviction, according to several of the speakers, that pellagra already is making its ravages upon horses, cows, hogs, etc., An interesting feature of the con ference was the presentation of sev eral patients with well-developed cases of the disease, The first annual pellagra congress to be held under the auspices of the .agsociation is scheduled for June, 1910, in Peoria, 111., which city was chosen without a contest, Washington, D. C. — Following the donation of $1,000,000 by John D. Rockefeller to be used in fighting the hook worm in the south, officials of the treasury and the public health and marine hospital service have re ceived information that two other sl, 000,000 donations are likely to be worthcoming soon—one from Mrs, Russell Sage, to be used in extending the work for the eradication of tu berculosis; the other from Andrew Carnegie for fighting pellagra. The understanding is that these sums will be placed at the disposal of the same general authorities associated with the public health and marine hospital service, Washington, D, C.—There is a very general opinion among the local phy sicians of Charelston, 8. C., that pel lagra has existed there for probably twenty years or more, but incorrect 1y diagnosed as eczema, dysentery, intestinal tuberculosis, etc., with de mentia complications, The above statement is made in a report to the: public health and ma rine hospital service by Acting Assis tant Surgeon Sams, on duty in the South Carolina city. He says pella. gra, as such, has been but recently recognized, the first case having come under treatment in March, 1908. Dur ing that year there weer five deaths, A fable is given, showing condition in nineteen cases from the recogni tion of the disease in March, 1908, but Dr. Sams thinks that to be less than the actual number of cases, - $150,000,000 MORTGAGE. Seahoard Air Line Railway Bonds Its Property. : Norfolk, Va. — The Seaboard Air Line Railway has recorded in the of fice of the Norfolk county court two mortgages aggregating $150,000,000. The state taxes on the mortgages were $8,220. One of these mortgages is for $25,000,000, of five per cent 40- year adjustment gold bonds, and also mentions the Fidelity Trust Company of Baltimore and Van Lear Black, as trustees, The other mortgage is for $125,000,000, refunding bonds, paya ble 50 years hence and bearing in terest at the rate 4 per cent, with the New York Trust Company and Morti mer N. Buckner as trustees, } - PLENTY OF FoOD NOV. _D%l.nrofl"'ood Famine in America Is o Very Remote. b ;‘m"flt"", D. C.—Some day the ¢ady increase of population in the’ ‘United States is bound to overtax the abllity of the farmer to provide for its"sustenance; but that day is very remote, according to Secretary Wil son, of the agricultural department. Nfi‘ Will it be necessary in the imme diate future to import grain for bread, notwithstanding the doleful predic tions of some publicists. Everything depends upon the disposition of the American farmer to make the most of the resources of his land, and to iugprove his methods of agriculture in accordance with the needs of theé P he The secretary .is in an optimistic mood just now, and he points to the figures of the crop production show ing that the value of the American tqmers' output for one single year ,&g‘tfikated the enormous total of seyen and @ quarter Dbillion dollars. « That was for the calendar year 1908; but the secretary was confident that, having in mind the higher prices O%utl}e present, the total for this year ‘would certainly be as large, The prospect for a great increase in' the production of wheat is excel: lent, in the opinion of Secretary Wil sd,_n. and for two reasons, first, the greatly enhanced market value of that staple would surely tempt the Aferlcan farmers to plant more ‘wheat, and, second, thanks to the dis covery of the possibility of growing durum wheat in the large part of the country hitherto regarded as un ‘available, there would be a great ad dition to the total of the annual crop. RESOLUTION OF FARMERS’ CONGRESS, Eight Important Resolutions Were Reported Favorably. _ Raleigh, N, C.—The committee on resolutions of the Farmers’ congress reported favorably these resolutions:’ 1. Parcels post system, ~2. Postal savings bank. 3. Opposition to large standing army. . . 4. Opposition to ship subsidy. 5. Reaffirmation of temperance views, favoring anti-saloon move ment, .6. Reaffirmation of encouragement of agricultural education. 4. Co-operation of farmers in hold irg product of farms against artificial ly depressed markets, s - 8. Committees of five to investigate equity of taxation. i - MILITIA WANTS FRANKING RIGHTS. Postoffice Department Opposes Bill . Champigped by Cummins, i _Washington, D C.—lt was said at ;A;vfi’,‘:‘ Ao 1 o w», 11 ‘department does not regard with favor the Cummins bill to enlarge the franking privilege so as to include the official mail matter of the orgag ized militia of the several states. The lowa senator during the extra sessidn introduced the bill, which was' referred to the committee on military affairs, but the committee did not take it up at the time because of the understanding that no business was to be considered outside of the tariff. Cannon Wants Baseball Team. South Bend, Ind.—Speaker Cannon, of the United States house of repre sentatives, is making an effort to buy the franchise of the South Bend Club of the Central League and transfer the club to Danville, 111. Mr. Cannon pelieves a good ball t eam would ad vertise Danville. Newsy Paragraphs. The reception in America of the | visiting Japanese business men has come to the people of Japan as an ex ceedingly pleasant surprise, It was realized that courtesy would be ex tended to the visitors, but the per sistent talk of widespread dislike of | {he Japanese gave the impression that the reception might be rather perfuncs tory and only as a return for the courtesy and hospitality extended to | the American visitors in Japan, The| lengthy « reports received by the lor-i eign office in Tokyo and from 'smz(',lul: correspondents of the leading news. | papers setting forth the manner in| which the commissicners are being | entertained have been published | broadcast and created a most agree- | able impression. ‘i Officials of the St. Louis club, | where President Taft breakfasted as | the guest of the Commercial club, | were indignant over a story printed | and attributed to the authority of the | club’s head waiter, that President | Taft had drunk a big cocktail at the | club, thus “falling off the water wag-} on,” and that the president had added | six big ecups of black coffee to the | cocktail and had partaken of the ru-‘ ‘mainder of the breakfast in accord | ing proportions, As a matter of fact the club officials say, they knew tulil well that the president is dieting, ! ihat he has recently abstained from | drinking any alcoholic bcvcragcs.!
