Fewer Flies Means Less Fever. |
Written By Dr. Emory R. Park, And Issued
By The State Board Of Health.
Ob. wad some power the giftie gie us,
Fra the everlasting 1 tiies to free us:
It wad fram many a sickness save us,
And useless death.
(No apologies to anybody.)
Swatting flies has done and will
do very little good, so far as exter¬
minating these insects is concern¬
ed, so the Georgia State Board of
Health thinks. When it is under¬
stood that if all the flies in the
world were swatted except a single
pair, and that from April rjth to
September 10th this pair would be
the ancestors to 5,598.720,000,000,
it can be readily seen that trying
to kill all the flies by the swat
method is a hopeless task. The
calculation given is based on the
fact that each female lays 120 eggs
at a time, and that the eggs reach
maturity in ten days from the date
on which they were laid. The
additional fact, however, that the
female lavs four batches, instead of
only one. was not considered in the
multiplication. You may figure it
out for votirself on that basis some
rainy afternoon, if you like to
figure.
To materially lessen tiie total
number of these insects, their
breeding places must be destroyed,
or these breeding places must be
screened so as to protect them from
flies. Where do they breed? In
filth. So you see that if all the filth
is destroyed or screened, the flies
will be destroyed in the same way
that all the birds would disappear
if there were no places for them to
lay. But it must be remembered
that die filth must he promptly des¬
troyed or promptly screened and
not allowed to accumulate or re¬
main unprotected for even a few
days, for fly eggs hatch out in ten
days from the day they are laid
—in three days these eggs develop
into maggots, and in seven more
days the maggot is a full-grown
fly is fhe short period of ten days.

We In Reality Christian?
By an Old Dotard.
It would be an insult to the
dullest understanding to ask wheth¬
er the thing taught today through¬
out the nations calling themselves
Christian be anything like that
primitive religion of Christ, this
fighting, blood-spi 11 ing,Quarrelling,
ahnighty-dollur-adoring, n e g r f >
lynching. and stake-burning,
poisoning, shooting, promise-mak¬
ing but promise-breaking and adul¬
terous generation, is a truly
Christ-ian generation? May God
forgive us for our impudence, and
for our abuse of names and things
Nearly two thousand years have
elapsed since theNazarene preached
and practiced, and the world pre¬
tended to listen and believe, and is
this the result of it? The common
apellation “Christian” is no recom
mendation whatever, either roan
individual or a nation, for tlie Rev.
John l’ierpont of Boston, in ad
dressing a crowded public meeting,
stated that when he traveled
abroad : “There was in the city of
Hamburg 10,000 licensed
lutes, and every one of them,before
she could procure her license,
to produce certificates of-character,
and to shew them that she was a
regular attendant in Church , and c
stant at the Sacrament!!'’ Base blas¬
phemous hypocrisy and sham
religion. A prodigality of Mission¬
aries are sent to China, India,
Japan, etc., and yet only about
one-third of our own people accept
the Christ, leaving sixty-millions of
unbelievers in this country, but it is
considered quite unprofitable to
attend to our “heathens” at home.
No one of ordinary observation
can fail to see that the human race,
as a whole, has now reached a
period of criminality beyond all
precedent. The columns of t la
daily press are blackened and red¬
dened with heart-sickening and
horrible details of tfie most murder¬
ous and bloody, the most unnatural
and diabolical types of crimes
which are unquestionable. Brutal
wickedness has become so common
that half-a-dozen murders in a
single day, in this country, pro¬
duces no surprise and excites no
unusual comment. Red-handed
murder coupled with the most hide¬
ous mutilation of helpless victims,
worthy only of incarnate fiends in
human form, are of frequent occur¬
rence. Parents starving their own
children to death, children mal¬
treating arid even killing their own
parents, little boys murdering their
play fellows in their yards at. home,
having all the deliberation of prac
tical criminals. This picture is by
»o means exaggerated, but i shall
only quote from two standard
lications, although I could cite
dozens of creditable press accounts. I

J. Randolph Anderson of
Since announcing his candidacy l’or
governor, J."Randolph Anderson o£ Sa¬
vannah, lias received tiie most encour¬
aging assurances of support from prac¬
tically every section of the state.
Mr. Anderson's candidacy has met
with enthusiastic reception in Nortii
Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma¬
rietta, upon which lie spends much of
his time, as well as in the Southern
section Where he lives, if early Indi¬
cations in the cam paten mean arv- '

be running a winning race.
Many of the newspapers of the state
are already actively supporting him
and others have volunteered to do so.
MR. ANDERSON'S
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In hia formal announcement of his
candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson
says:
“Savannah, Ga„ April 15, 1914.
“To the People of Georgia:
“1 beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the next
general primary.
“In asking to be entrusted with what
I consider to be the highest honor in
the gift of our people, I am glad to
feel that my candidacy involves no
factional issues and should arouse no
factional spirit. The spirit of fac¬
tionalism has happily about died
away in Georgia, and in the state, as
in the nation, we Democrats are lined
up with practically unbroken ranks in
support of the great measures our
party is taking for the common good.
I am able therefore to come before you
simply as a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote bis best ener¬
gies and talents t.o the welfare, and
upbuilding of his native state.
“Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
a jid so great that in some respects
we have outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and in conse¬
quence the state • and its institutions
are in some directions being ham¬
pered and held back. Georgia's great
need today is that her people should
have a period of political rest in
which to have the time and oppor¬
tunity to concentrate their attention
and efforts upon a thorough over¬
hauling and readjustment of her busi¬
ness methods and system. We need
to apply ourselves for a time to put¬
ting our house and affairs in order,

SEES AN END OF
POLITICAL STRIFE.
“We have had a surfeit of political
trite. Let us now for a while de¬
vote ourselves to measures for
bringing the. sunshine of prosperity
to all the various business activities
of the state ariMpnlo the homes and
° r A'lbglMWidual citizens. I
wiilcerifevoSHb invito your atten¬
tion to these matters more in detail
during the progress of the campaign.
My long service in the house and
senate, since 1905, lias made me famil¬
iar wilh the affairs and needs of the
state and has qualified me to be of
service to you as Governor.
“Circumstances have arisen under
which, by operation of law, the duty
may be devolved upon me of serving
as Acting Governor for some part of
the current term. This would re¬
quire me to leave my home and sur¬
render my profession and all business
connections. Such a contingency nat¬
urally prompts me to seek electio"
for the next regular term and giv
me, I trust, •some personal claim to
ask for it, so that I may at least be
allowed to remain in office long enough
to be given a fair trial both as to my
desire and as to my ability to serve
you well.
PROHIBITION QUESTION
ALREADY SETTLED.
“Some inquiry has been made as to
how far tiie prohibition question may
be involved in my candidacy. J wish
to state that it is not involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con¬
sidered a political issue in Georgia. It
has become a matter of established
law, arid I think most of the prohibi¬
tion leaders now agree that the Jaw is
sufficient and that continued political
agitation of the subject is no longer
needed, and would be unwise. No sub¬
stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georgia for its repeal, and it should
he regarded as an issue that is now
settled and behind us.
“If I am elected, it will be my duty
to regard and treat the prohibition
law as one of the settled, established
laws of the state, and In this, as in
all oilier matters, I will try to dis¬
charge, my d-uty faithfully, fearlessly
and fully.
“J. RANDOLPH ANDERSON.”
