NUMBER 28
(ffl HERE NEXT
It is announced that Mr. Solon
Drukenmiller, famous as ballad
singer with A1 G. Fields for years,
is to appe r in concert here with
Mrs. Susie Bowden Johnson and
Mrs. A. L. Slaton. He ^acknowl
edged the foremost tenor singer
in this part of the country.
The Albany Herald has this to
say of a recent concern given in
that city:
“It was Mr. Drukenmiller’s first
appearance in Albany and he won
his audience with his first .note.
There is a quality in his tones,
rich and full of resonance, that is
beautiful in the extreme. Ex
pressions of delight and pleasure
were heard on every side when
he sang “Thank God For a Gar
den," by Del Riego. His encores
were bright little numbers that
were greatly enjoyed, particular
ly his negro selections for which
lie played his own accompani
ment.”
The Atlanta Georgian says of
Mrs. Johnson’s recital in Atlanta:
‘‘Those who heard her except
ionally fine voice in the Opera
Musicale of “Aida" will welcome
an opportunity to hear her again
Rosa I’onselle the newest Aida of
the Metropolitan, heard Mrs. John
son sing the leading arias and de-;
dared her voice possessed true j
grand opera qualities.”
The Atlanta Journal said of
Mrs. Slaton:
“Mrs. Slaton in her piono num
bers, displayed an excellent tone
and technique, and the extremely
difficult passages were handled
by her in a manner which com
bined skill and grace. A word of
praise must also be given for her
sympathetic and intelligent ac
companiments.”

On Sept. 15th the Stale Bureau
of Markets opened a Division for
handling Cotton Seed. As a su
pervisor of this Division we have
secured the services of a man •
with a lifetime training in every
phase of the cotton seed and oil
mill business. This service will
be entirely free, and will be ex
tended to every shipper or pro
ducer, or group of producers, who
will ship as much as a carload of
seed.
It established by experience
that cotton seed vary in oil con
tent from 37 to 47 gallons per ton.
The majority of seed in Georgia
are bought by the mills on a mean
average of from 40 to 41 gallons
of oil per ton. Thus it will be
seen usually the seller of seed
containing 47 gallons of oil would
not receive any more for his seed
than would the seller of seed con
taining 37 gallons, although on
the present market price of oil
the seed of 47 gallons content
would be worth $6.00 per ton
more than those of 37 gallons.

WHERE THE PARTIES
WERE HELD THE
PAST SEVER DAYS
Mr. L. O. Meadows spent Satur
day in Atlanta.,
GIVEN UNDER AUSPICES OF CIVIC CLUB
Hear Them and Forget Your Troubles
An iiuellifc'Gnt people must co-oper
ate in rhe great work of eradication of
disease, lor the right to enjoy health
is quite as sacred iih that to possess
property. As a general proposition,
our sanitary laws uro very good hut
their administration still leaves much
to he desired.
To ignorance and carelessness must
be attributed mqch of the causation of
disease in the centuries gone by. Out
of the throes of suffering and rioatli
of the myriads who have precoded us
we have obtained a certain enligUt-
•nmentfi which, while not perfect, still
makes it absurd to plead ignorance
and lack of knowledge.
The day is not far distant when It
will bo considered a crime for a city
to continue to murder ita citizens by
furnishing them au Impure water sup
ply. Diseases which consign thou
sands Wo the grave leave even worse
results in tlielr wake by passing on
to the children a hopeless poverty,
opening the gate to crime, prostitu
tion and mendicancy. All the au
thorities agree that contagions react
on the moral fibre of a community or
peoplo, and contrariwise, where they
live under healthful conditions groat
I advancement in government, litera-
I tore and science lias been made,
j There is a moral obligation to be
] intelligent. Ignorance is a vice and
when it results in injury to anyone
J it becomes a crime, moral, if not
| statutory. There is no excuse in this
j duy for ignorance of any one in- rela-
i tion to the necessity for the purifica-
| tion of all water supplies in cities
! where the death rate from water
[ borne disease is higher than that in
J cities having perfectly satisfactory
I water.
j Responsibility is a word of tremen-
j dous import. Its significance is akin
j to trust and these men who are re-
l sponsible for and high minded in the
; conduct of human affairs realize their
liability to be called to account when
I honored with leadership.
; There are men, however, upon
whom responsibility rests lightly, per
haps not wilfully hut because of cir
cumstances beyond their control and
u the management ot their trusts they
become indifferent to the only too
common signs of inefficiency, whlen
ultimately result in retrogression, if
not disaster.
The purpose of government is to
protect Us citizens, and a'government
which fails to shield the people from
infection cannot be truthfully called
either responsible, intelligent or
moral.
The greatest asset of any city or
town is the health of the citizens,
and the officials who secure this in
the highest decree are those who ap
preciate the responsibility placed upon
thorn In this very important matter.
Preventive iseuuuna.* in conserving
the health of the community records
success In direct ratio 10 the nuaibe:
of lives saved, and it is pleasing to
note that the statistics of the last cen
tury show an increase of fifteen year*
in the average human life. There Is
reason to hope that, in (he future,
this increase uia.v be duplicated in u
considerably shorter lime. If earnest
use Is made of present day science.
The plain fact Is that not only does
Ignorance breed disease hut the con
verse Is almost as true and that dis
ease breeds ignorance, immorality
and strife. In the light of the scien
tific work at the present time, disease
in its horrible wholesale form Is con
trollable if it cannot lie entirely elim
inated. This control or elimination b-
possible only when there is an awak
ening or the sense of responsibility on
tha purt of those who have been elo
vated to the high pluces in govern
ment. Short sighted humanity fails to |
appreciate nature’s gifts until threat
ened with their loss. This is true
even of the greatest of them all, life
itself. It is significant of our failure
to value health.
Now. Mr. Public Official, do you. a?
a city official, realize that you, person
ally, are responsible for every death
from a water borne disease, which
occurs in your city unless you arc
consistently and persistently doing
everything possible to prevent such
death?
