ABBEVILLE MAYOR
WAS“TOUCHED”
Special to The Georgian:
Savannah, Go., April 20.—At a meet
ing of the Georgia Aritl-Tuberculoala
League, a decided Impetus waa given
the movement for a state sanatorium
for the cure of consumption. Many
physicians over the state have taken an
Interest In this matter and the meeting
was attended by about forty members
of the State Medical Association.
This great work of philanthropy and
protection wa* universally Indorsed and
a very strong appeal will be made to
the legislature In fiehalf of those un
fortunate pereons who foil victims to
the white plague.
It Is proposed to ask the legislature
for it small appropriation, probably
$15,000, for the purchase of a tract of
land at a suitable place and the erection
of small wooden buildings, with mova
ble sides, so that the patients can be
practically In the open air and sun
shine all the time. Tents also will be
largely used.
It Is estimated that fully half those
who have consumption In Us Incipient
stages can be cured by the proposed
treatment, while probably thirty-three
and a third per cent of those In tho
more advanced stages can bo brought
bock to health, while the Incurable
coses con bo rendered far inoro com
fortable until death comes to relieve the
sufferer.
Tho plan of the AnU-TubcrculosIs
League Is to Interest the public gen
erally and physicians particularly In
the great work which has been un
dertaken for humanity and tho hearty
sympathy with tho movement Is shown
by the fact that tho league already has
over eight hundred members.

The convention was called to order
Wednesday morning by C. W. McClure,
tho president of the company, who, In
a few well chosen words, explained the
motives and objects of the meeting.
Mr. 8. D. Herren, the general man
