THEY ADJOURN TO MKF.T IN SAYANNAn
nfcoisMmtn 18.
The State board of health met yester
day morning and was palled to order by
President Thomas.
Attorney General N. J. Uamuiond ap
peared and took his seat.
Drs. Head and McClellan Forward of
the U. 8. A. were also present.
APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION NEEDED.
Hr. J. P. Logan offered the following,
which was uuunfmously adopted:
Whereas, It has been clearly demon
strated that the State board of healt can
not discharge efficiently the dalles im
posed or meet public expectation, in con
sequence or defects in the law under
which it is acting, haring no power to
enforce registration or the observance of
sanitary laws, and not being provided
with a sufficient appropriation to meet
its indispensable necessities and are there
fore unwilling longer to occupy such a
position.
Resolved, that a committee of three
of its members be appointed to present
the subject to the next meeting of the
legislature and to represent to that body
the necessity of appropriate legislation, if
it is desired to continue the existence of
the present board.
On motion of Dr. G. F. Hooper, Dr. J.
G. Thomas, president, Dr. J. P. Logan
and Attorney General N. J. Hammond
were appointed the committee under the
resolution.
SECRETARY’S REPORT.
The secretary, Dr. Taliaferro, read his
second annual report, an elaborate
and comprehensive document, Reports
of vital statistics had been received from
82 counties, leaving 52 counties nnreport
ed. The subject of registration laws and
the difficulties in their enforcement.
The defects in the registration law of
Georgia were pointed out.
The voluntary system inoperative and
unreliable, because made without hope of
reward or fear of penalty. The laws of
several States were cited as reasons why
the Georgia law should impose them
The ordinaries should be the principal
agents in obtaining vital statistics, and
they should be paid for their services.
The health of the State hasbeen excel
lent, except the prevalence of yellow
fever in Brunswick and Savannah. * The
secretary recommends the appointment
of a committee of the board to investi
gate the epidemic, with ample powers in
the case.
Only 21 counties have reported the or
ganization of county boards of health.
The grand juries have either failed or
refused to make the appointments. In
one case the foreman ot the grand jury
refused to act because he was opposed to
the law. The secretary recommends
that the appointing power be vested in
the State board of uealtli hereafter.
INVESTIGATING TIIF. EPIDEMIC.
The communication of Gov. Smith
recommending the board to hold an ad
journed term in Savannah to investigate
the late epidemic there was taken up and
discussed.
Dr. J. P. Logan offered the following
which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved. That this board receive with
pleasure the suggestion of liis excellency
Governor Smith as to visiting Savannah
and it may be Brunswick jo investigate
the cause of yellow fever: and will pro
ceed to make the investigation. 80 im
pressed are we with the importance of
this duty as required"by the law of our
organization, we intend performing it
even though the meagre appropriation
made for us is exhausted, relying upon
the future for a proper appropriation to
meet exigencies of the case.
The secretary was instructed to furnish
the Governor a copy of this resolution, in
response to his communication.
Interesting remarks were made by I)rs.
Thomas, Carlton, Cooper, Logan, Crom
well, Little and Attorney General Ham
mond.

time in December after the meeting in

nah off the 13th of December.
WAS IT WT A PAIB REt(l
SENATOR GOBDON’S PROPOSITION TO THE
( AROUNA THIEVES.
S. V, Herald— Editorial.!
After the State Canvassers of South
CatoliDu had aggregated and declar
ed the vote according to the actual
returns on Saturday, as ordered by
the Supreme Court, Senator Gordon
requested that clerks might be per
mitted to copy at his expense the
original figures from which the can
vassers made tip their count. Can
any honest reason be given why this
request was denied ? The refusal
was not, indeed, absolute, as tbecan
vassers made an intimation that it
might be compiled with on Monday.
Senator Gordon replied that the rea
son why he wanted to copy them at
once was a fear that they might be
ehatiMd before Monday. He evi
dently suspeethd that the count was
not in accordance with the original
figures; and he wished to test it be
fore the figures could be altered. The
refusal looks too much like the mem
bers of the Board dared not sHbmit
the honesty of their count to so di
rect and simple a test lest exposure
should overtake them on the spot. If
this was not the motive of the refus
al what was it ?
The Soldiers In Service
The troops number in the Depart
ment of the East—New England,
Middle States, Indiana, Ohio, Michi
gan and Virginia, are four companies
of infantry and nine companies of
artillery: in the Department of the

infantry. In the Department of
Texas there are twenty-four com
panies of cavalry and thirty com
panies of infantry. In the Depart
ment of the Platte, thirty-eight com
panies of cavalry, forty infantry and
four of (infantry. Gen. John Pope
has twelve companies of cavalry,
twenty of infantry and fourteen of
artillery. It is the latter force main

six companies of cavalry, thirty
eight of infantry and nine of artillery.
In all 250 companies of infantry, 127

Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which lias removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliablo. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no donbt it will preserve the eolor.

I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of tho hair, and ren
tiering It glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “weU to do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, In
which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after It
has been exhausted of its natural fertilitv.
It 1b certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts. In an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We fonnd some
of the oldest larras apparently just as profitably prednetive as when first cleared of-forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, aud all through the soli we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally In
the form of Indurated calcareous marl, showing mauy distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; snd this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants ss tbe farmer desires to
cultivate.
