TYPHOID FEVER CASES
MAY BE VERY NUMEROUS
ORGANIZATION CAMPAIGN
AMONG COTTON GROWERS
The Georgia State Board of Health
predicts an unusually large number
of cases t>f Typhoid Fever this year.
This will result of at least two condi
tions, viz.: a mild winter and an early
spring.
A mild winter facilitates the hiber
nation of a greater number of flies
than would otherwise be the case. It
is generally conceded that flies con
stitute a most important factor in the
transmission of" typhoid from the de
jecta of the active case of sickness
or the carrier. It is also a well known
fact that almost throughout the state,
except in the sewered areas of out-
cities and towns, or in some of the
counties where the Ellis Health Lew
is in effect, human filth is not dis
posed of in a manner which affords
protection tq its citizens. An evidence
of this fact is the great number of
surface toilets one sees all along the
public highways, and even in the sub
urban districts of our cities. Each
one who observes this can readily un
derstand w-hy it is so easy for an
epidemic of typhoid fever to occur in
practically any community of Geor
gia, when there exists an abundance
of flies to transport this dangerous
germ-laden filth to the food and drink
of people.
A large number of flies surviving
the winter would mean a much larger
early crop of young flies, and this
would mean that each succeeding fam
ily or generation of this dangerous
ami filthy pest, in the end, instead of
having very poor and scarce transpor
tation facilities for the work of the
“Fly ami Germ” Company they are
amply supplied with much efficient
help.
An early spring means tin early
crop of new flies and when this hap
pens to be an unusually big family
the number of flies at one time dur
ing the summer might be twice as
great, as that of the same date last
year. This in turn might mean that
we would have twice as many cases
of any filth born diseases, such: as
dysentery, typhoid, etc.
Last year there developed 5,-lDO
cases of typhoid fever in this state
which cost us more than $1,000,000
in money and 549 human lives.
Such losses as these can easily and
cheaply be avoided in two ways as
follows: First, by installing sanitary
apparatus at each home, school,
church and place of business, and
thereby preventing soil pollution, and
secondly, by administering anti-ty
phoid vaccine to each individual in the
state, who by reason of age (12 to
40 years), is susceptible to the dis
ease. The vaccine is offered by the
State Board of Health free of charge
to any person in the state, anti yet
some one who reads this article and
who defers having the vaccine admin
istered, will very probably have ty
phoid this year and sustain a great
"economic loss, if he or she escapes
with life itself.
CIVIC CLUB REPORT
The organization campaign of thf
Georgia Coton Growers Associate ^
has to date been carried into no 1cssk , V>
than 21 counties of the state, it was
announced at headquarters of the as
sociation Saturday. In each of these
•counties, formal or informal com
mittees ai*e at work upon the devel
opment of the campaign. In Elbert,
Hart, Screven, Morgan, Laurens,
Toombs, Bulloch and Burke counties
complete county committees, with a
representative selection of men from
every militia district in the county,
and made up practically exclucively
of farmers whohave already signed
the contract, are now at work in the
field.
Informal committees now exist in
Banks, Wilkes, McDuffie, Clayton,
Green, Oglethorpe, Fayette, Dodge,
Cobb, Madison, Warren and Jackson
counties, and will be developed into
complete, permanent, working organ
izations this week.
The committees in Morgan, Lau
rens, Toombs, Bulloch and Burke
were developped at an exceptionally
enthusiastic series of meetings ad
dressed by A. A. Elmore, in Madi
son, Dublin, Lyons, Statesboro and
Waynesboro during the past week.
Big meetings are to be held
Jonesboro, Fayetteville, Marietta and
Homer in the first three days of next
week; and on Thursday and Friday
respectively, Mr. Elmore will carry
the campaign into an entirely new
section of the State when he address
es a mass-meeting in Taylor Coun-
tyy at Butler and another in Musco
gee County near Columbus.
Farmers’ support for the move
ment has been practically unanimous
wherever its leaders have gone. The
only difficulty confronting the organ
ization committee is that of getting
to the farmer fast enough.
It is believed that the campaign
will be given a great impetus next
week when an elaborate questionaire
now on the press, which explains the
contract and plan .in detail from be
ginning to'end so that anyone can up,
tierstand it, will be distributed broad
cast over the State:

Washington,—Accidents kill more
people in the United States in one
year than the much-dreaded scourge
of cancer, according to a compilation
of statistics just completed by the
American Red Cross. The toll of ac
cident deahts in 1918, the latest year
for which figures are now available,
was 83,000, the announcement stated.
Automobile fatalities have increas
ed tenfold during the last decade,,
the statement continued. Ninety ppeo-
ple out of each million of population
were killed by automobiles in 1918
nuallyy from 1906 to 1910. While
as compared with ten per million an-
slaughter by automobiles has thus
creased, it is pointed out, the safety
movement in America has apprecia
bly reduced the number of deaths on
railroad and trolled tracks.
‘•The control of accident fatalities
and injury is one of the outstanding
problems in the movement for longer
and healthier lives, says the Red
Cross statement..
An excellent index of industrial
conditions throughout the United
States is furnished by statistics of
the production of electricity for pow
er and light by the public-utilityy
companies. In times of depression
less electric power is used by manu-
% eturers who purchaes electricity
and the electric railways have less
traffic and therefore call for less
power. Conversely, in times of pros-
pertiy the demand for electricity
greater from every source, even for
electric light, in using which the con
sumer feels less need of economy
For more than two years nfonthly
statistics have been obtained by the
United States Geological Survey. De
partment of the Interior, from over
3,000 public-utilityyy yelectric plants

ing stations include central stations,
electric-railway plants, and certain
other industrial conercns ’which pi*o-
duce electricity for public use in ad
dition to that needed for their own re
quirements. These statistics are com
piled for each State and are publish-
) ed monthly in mimeographed form
in sufficient detail to be used as a
basis for many economic studies.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING
Shanghai has one million people
representing every nation of the earth.
Its people are crowding into the
schools, and for more than twenty
years McTyeire has had no room for
all the students wishing to enter. Am
bassadors to some of the great coun
tries have married McTyeire girls. A
volunteer band in McTyeire supports
and staffs a school in Unang Province,
with a population of thirty thousand.
The Methodist' Church has two
thousand deaconesses, five hundred of
whom are serving in Europe. The
Southern Methodist Church has only
twenty-five deaconesses for appoint
ment this year.
“In Japan there are thirty-five
thousand women,” says Bishop Lam-
buth, “employed in the mines; two
hundred thousand work in the mills,
many of whom arc taken off the
farms.”
“What the South will be to-morr
depends upon what the Southern
Methodists and Southern Baptists
make it, due to their numbers,” sayi
Dr. Snyder, of the Educational Com
mission.
Eight cities have organized during
the year joint City Mission Boards
under the uniform constitution and
modified forms of this constitution as
adopted at the last Council session.
The startling revelation that one
million and six hundred thousand
Jewish children in the United States
have an average of two hundred and
fifty hours of religious instruction an
nually, and eight million Roman Cath
olic children receive two hundred
hours annually, while Protestant chil
dren receive only twenty-six hours in
religious education annually, has
aroused and gripped the attention of
the thinking men and women of our
Churches wherever it has been made
known. In every urban community
within the bounds of Southern Meth
odism a Daily Bible School Com
sion should he formed an an earnest
Christian teacher or teachers

Health has just informed us that Ty
phoid fever is more prevalent just
now than for a number of years. It is
the duty of every one to put their
premises in a sanitary condition and
to keep them so. Look especially to
' the condition of your dringing water
and milk supply. Your cow should
have as pure drinking water as your-

WE MUST EDUCATE PROPERLY
Roger Babson, the great statisti
cian has sent broadcast a letter call
ing the Christian conduct in busines;
and urging the necessity of Chris
tian education.
The big- hardware convention which
has just closed in Atlanta was fea
tured by a number of addresses and
the keynote of many of these was that
we have had a tendensy to depart
from the worth-while teachings, from
those religious principles which have
heretofore been deep-seated in our
people and which has enabled them
to make the great nation that we
have.
These are things worth careful at
tention. Some fail to heed such sug
gestions and advice when coming
from the pulpit, but when men of
recognized business experience and of
great influence tell us the same thing !
then we are fools unless we hear and
act.
Protestant churches all over the na
tion are now engaged in the task of
raising millions for the enlargement
of the Christian church schools, that
more students may he accommodated.

turned away and many are going

ARE YOU UP-TO-DATE?
Do you load it at the muzzle

Do you wind it with a watch-key

Well, I rather reckon so.
Do you argue that an hour-glass
Beats a Waltham all to smash?
Do you keep the same old systems

That your grand-dad did before you
And persist, “It doesn't pay”?

Wouldn’t the pathos of such logic
Drive a billy goat to tears?
Just a card is all you care for?

Run a page and change your copy,
Advertise and keep alive.
