The prevalence of meningitis In cer tain sectiona of the community and state has caused a great deal of anx iety among the people, and la partle ularly terrifying In thnen regions where no physician la within easy reach. It la always a aorioua matter for a newspaper to make prescrip tions In heroic caaea of III neat, and the Georalan la not disposed to be Imprudent here In Its In vasion of professional rights. We would urge those whose friends nr rel- atlvea are victims of meningitis by all peaalMe means to summon a physi cian at the earliest possible moment, aa the disease Is drsdly snd rapid in Its sweep. But If It should hapiien that no phyy ■Iclan la near at hand or obtainable within a reasonable time, we give be low a prescription which cornea to tit from a most reliable and thoughtful etileen who. with hit neighbors, vouches tor Its effective use In many cases: To the Editor of The Georgian: Some good long lime ago you gaked for a remedy for meningt Ua. Being a layman I hesitated u> give you the Information of my treatment. First give the patient one nr two large enemas—three or tour quarts of water aa hot aa the pa Ueat can bear; then wring a sin gle bed blanket oat or boiling wa ter (Keep ends of blanket dry to handle); put nee or two quilts on the bed; put a pair dry blaeketa on them; spread the hot blanket over this quick: roll the patleat on the hot blanket, cover the pa tient quick with hot blanket; then cover with dry one and ao on with quilts from neck to bottom of feet. Fat a cold, wet cloth to head, tuck the covers around tke body snug ly: ewwet the cold doth every ten minutes. Keep the patleat In this pack, if comfortable, one to two boura. Taka him out and give a good rubWag with towel, wet with cold water; rub for lire minutes;' rewet your single blanket In boil ing water aed put him back In the pack for soother at** or two hours. Repeat this for twenty- four hour* or until he la conscious. Continue with enemas—three or four In twenty-four hours; give no nourishment for one or two days or longer. These are facta, not theories, and will cure nine out of every ten. You can aak Judge Pendleton about this treatment, aa ha was a witness to a case that was given up to die In last then one hour. This la to you personally In re- ply to your request for a remedy for this deadly disease, and my name Is not to be used. The fslthftil carrying out of the meth od will be found most efficacious. A MUNICIPAL SUGGESTION TO ROM*. If The Oeorglan was a citizen of a city at beautiful and aa promising as Rome, wa would look upon advartlilng of all kinds aa one of the chief factors In Its possible development. We would spare no opportunity to pre sent to the world In written speech and In photographic form and In tabu- lated figures the beauty and the fertility of the region of which It was the capital and metropolis. It la getting to bo t|ta custom now to advertise enterprises, great and small, Individual and aggregate, by the use of picture cards. And In reading one of these, the mind of The Georgian was Instant ly Impressed with the splendid use to whleb- Roma might put these cards In blazoning Its charms and advantages to tha world. There are vistas on the Oostanauls and the Etowah. There are acenea at the con fluence of these rivers Into the Coosa. There are Incomparable land scapes spread out from the summits of Myrtle Hill and Wa|fT Tower Hill and others of the hundred hills of Rome that would make pictures ft beauty and would, through tha eyea, attract the Interest and perhaps tho presence of visitors and possibly Inventors In this favored region. Rome stands now face to face with another great opportunity of growth. If she only will not relax her zeal or divide her forces nr break Into factions any more, she will aurely attain to the stature which her advantages deserve and atacb (he prosperity whose compara tive delay has been the marvel of the state. If the world knew Rome as Rome Is today tt would be better (or the beautiful hill city of Georgia. And Rome mutt make the world know her as she Is and la tn be. "M0THEB8" AND "MATINEES.” The comments of the editorial page of The Georgian .upon the Ber nard Bhaw play of “Man and Superman" have met with a very general and hearty Indoraemant from the beat and most thoughtful element of so ciety In the city and In various portions of the state. Among other things the editorial has served to call attention to the very gleet responsibility which raata upon mothers In allowing their young daughters to attend Indiscriminately matinee performances of whose merits and morals the mothers themselves know nothing. It 'Is doubtful If a more dangerous license la enjoyed by youth any- where than la the careless attendance upon plays whose Influence Is de moralizing and deplorable. Perhaps nothing that The Georgian could say In this connection can more Ally jtolnt this danger und responsibility which appeals to mothers than the following letter from one of the noblest of Georgia's matrons, whiejt-we are taking the liberty to publish for the good that It may do: Atlanta. Ga., March 12, 1907. To the Editor of The Georgian: I thank you moat heartily for your kind and eloquant edito rial 111 liehalf of tho D. A. R. eghlbtt at Jamestown. Permit me also to express tn behalf of myself and many friends our earnest gratitude for your briljlant criticism and scath ing denunciation of "Man and Buperman." Nothing so able or so helpful to public morals has appeared In Journalism In many a day. When Mr. Hen Greet, that admirable dramatic critic and fin ished actor, was In Atlanta, he delivered a moat Impreaalve talk on tha morality plays. In which.he took occasion .to magnify the lofty mission or legitimate drama. But I have never listened to more prophetic words of warning against the Insidious poison of modern society plays. He denounced Jhe indiscriminate mati nee habit of attendance of plays, good, bad and Indifferent, as essentially demoralizing to the young. He urged motbert to In form themselves about the character of a play before permitting their Children to tee It. and to warn (hem of the Incalculable harm done to tho youthful mind by witnessing Impure plays upon the stage. . . . ^ , Legitimate drama Is ennobling to the whole being, but corrupt dfhma Is fatal to the purity of the anul. A mother should guard her young daughter from Immodest theatrical spectacles aa care fully as she would shield her from tha plague. "It Is shocking," he cried, "tn see row after row of young girls witnessing a- play like 'Zaza.'" ' 1 , He could not have spoken higher words In favor of truth and morality had ho been In the pulpit. — And so the thoughtful rltliens of Atlanta thank you for your noble and timely words In behalf of higher drama and the sacred varieties of life. The proas, more than the pulpit. Is the guardian of public morality In matters hletrtonlr. Very sincerely. MRS. EMILY IIENDREE PARK. Those who know' the writer of this letter and the high and noble things for which Mrs. Robert Emory Park stands In Georgia, will accord these words the dignity and seriousness of consideration to which the subject and the author are entitled. The age la progressive, but we trust that tha time will not come with in this generation when parents will relax the vigilant rare with which they guard the Influences which come Into tho'minds of susceptible youth. • —=.

Now that the banquet season Is on us again, let ua urge once more upon our banqueteera to mingle discretion with their festivities and to remember that business men must have sleep If they are expected to iwrtlcipale In business on the following day. The habit has grown' stale In the South of beginning banquets at 9 o'clock and have them cud at 3 or 4 a. m. Out of auch banquets men of the best of habits and of the strongest of phyalqbes com# next day with muddy brains and tired bodies to an Imperfect prosecution of their busi ness affairs. And the question irises In their nilnda whether the banquet with all IU social pleasure and good fellowship is worth the price they pay for It. We call attention once more to the fart that In lloaton and New York, which are the banquet cities of our western world, banquets begin be- tween six amt seven o'clock, that the speaking beglna never later than nine o'clock, and that there Is nothing In the program of these festal oc casions which will prevent any participant trom being at home and In tied liv the hour of mldnlghl. ’ g We must come to this In Georgia, and we mini tmgtn tt Ip Atlanta. As we grow older and larger Ih numbers and tiioVe complex Iff Olir bur - Iness and |»lltlcal relations, banquets will come to be as common In Atlanta as they are In Hostoii and New York. Many times It happens .that we have three banquets on a single evening In this capital city of Gaorgta, and there Is scarcely a night In which there la not from 50 to .'>0 being celebrated In Hoelon and New York. * l*et us bring then our festivities and our socIh! celebrations In a rea sonable basis. Let us put It upon a plane upou which n business nun will not hesitate to accept the Invitation, but will be glad rather to Join with bis friends In reasonable social festivities which will leave him part of the night for rest. If this Improvement la not adopted our friends will And that ban queta will grow more and more unpopular with strong men and business men Hut II ptaeed uiKin (he more common sense and practical plane they are likely more and more to multiply as the best expression of the social llle of organised bodies of business corporations, of political leaders and o( municipal (rstlvltlea. * Tar 6 o clock banquet la the spirit ol the age ami the demand of burl- seas tutu. — i "DOING AWAY WITH HELL."

Tn the Editor of The Georgian: There (lands about three mites northeast from Bparto. on tha road leading to Warrenton, thence on Augusta, thla being originally a stage route, an old dwelling, which, from the number nf fatalities that have occurred tn and near It. might be designated at the House of Tragedies. A man who was thrown from a horse while racing on the level road In front of the house, died In It from the In juries received by his fall; a second person, mortally wounded In a shoot ing affray cloae by, woe carried Into the house where he soon breathed his last: a third committed suicide with in Its walls; and a fourth, a negro man. was shot and killed In the yard soon ufter the close of the Civil war. These tragic occurrence! are suffi cient to have given the place notoriety, but It receives additional historic Inter est from the (act that Aaron Burr, while en Touts from Alabama to Rich mond. Vo., nos entertained there one night In March, 1107. It la still a well-preserved residence, iltuated on a gently rising slope about fifty yards from the public road. The house Is one and a half etorlee high, with two dormer windows on ths roof fronting the public highway. A few abode trees of native oak and elm still aland on the premises. Ths property 1a at present owned by Mrs. Butt, of Hparta, and Is occupied by a tenant. The public career of Burr la well known aa a soldier In the Revolution ary' war. aa an eminent lawyer and politician, as vice president of the United Htatee during the administra tion of Thomas Jefferson, aa the alayer nf the lamented Alexander Hamilton In a duel, as the evil genius who cor rupted the home and ruined the char acter anil fortune of. the unfortunate Blcnncrhaasett. and. Anally, aa the ac cused and denounced traitor against bis country, followed by hla arrest, trial, and acquittal, hla auboaquant wicked life and miserable death. Tha fart of hla passage, through Hancock, and hla entertainment there, being a ■batter of only local Interest, haa naver been published to the world, only In the way nf Incidental mention. It has survived as a tradition, however. In Hancock county for a hundred years. The fact Is authentic, vouched for by original witnesses and transmitted na a tradition through succeeding genera tions of their children and neighbors, Judge Frank I* Little, present In- .uinbrnt of the countygudgcahlp. auya that he often beard the late Mr. Tuttle H.

Mr. Audas entered upon his first term of office In 1434, not many years after, and he continued In office for many years aucceeilvely. He had no doubt of the truth nf the tradition, having heard It from those who were original witnesses. Mr. Blmon Rogers, whose farm Joins Mr*. Butt's place, says he has pften heard hi* father, who lived there before him. mention the fact. Mr. Henry Rogers, father of Mr. Blmon Rogers, wa* one of the oldest clttxena of the county. Several other * llnrasf, equally tellable might be mentioned to prove the authenticity of the story. The tradition te direct and unimpeachable.

Tho Journey which It required three weeka for Burr and hla party to travel In IU7, could bo easily accomplished In two day*, or less. In 1907. In Parton's Life of Aaron Burr there la a thrilling account of the long, peril ous Journey for days through an almost, pathless wilderness. The prisoner was In charga of one Perkins, his captor, with a guard of nine men furnished from the garrison at Fort Btnddart In Alabama. We copy below an extract from Parton’s biography. The location of Fort Wilkinson, mentioned tn It, was three and one-half milts below Mll- ledgevllle. on the west bank nf the Uconee river. From that place to the above mentioned dwelling In Hancock county, would be about a day's Jour ney fur the party: "It waa ten days bafore they reached again the abodes of th* white man. Oc casionally, as they approached the set tlements, they would find an Indian In charge of a crossing place on a river, with canoes for the conveyance ot travelers. Then they would place their stores In the.canoes, and paddle over, leaving their swimming horae3. The first roof that shattered the party waa that of a email tavern near Fort Wilkinson, on the Oconee, about 40 milts from tho boundary line between Georgia and South Carolina. The ar rival of so extraordinary a party nt thla remote place of entertainment, seeitti to have astonished the landlord. White breakfast was getting ready and the guard with their prisoner were elt- tlag quietly around tho tire, ho began to oak them a series of extremely dis agreeable questions. Learning that they came from tho Tomblgbee rattle- ment, he hit at once upon the prevail ing topic, and naked thf men respect ing Aaron Burr, the traitor! Hnd he yet been arretted? Waa he not a very bed man? Waa not everybody afraid of him? To these and other queatlona of the kind Perkins and hts men could moke no reply, but sot with their hende down In estreme embarrassment, full of sympathy for their captive. "Burr, who wot sitting In a corner hy the tire, railed hie head and fixing hta blaring eyea upon the unsuspecting landlord, (Old. i am Anron Burr; what 1a It you wont with me?* “The poor landlord, amaxed at the In formation. and struck with the majes tic manner of the man. stood nghisi. and. without a syllable nr reply, glided about the house, offering rile party the must obsequious attentions."
