MRS. MARY HARRIS ARMOR
America’s Greatest Woman Orator
Will be Here Friday Night.
We are delighted to announce that
Mrs. Armor will make an address at
the court house in Summerville on
. Friday night, Dec. 13th, at 7 o’clock.
All the people are cordially invited
)to attend. No charges will be made,
but a collection will be taken, so be
prepared to give some amount for a
! good cause.
Mrs. Armor as State President of
the Georgia W. C. T. U. a few years
since, was well known and appreciat
ed, but Mrs. Armor as State Organ
, izer and lecturer, is more wide
)ly known and more highly honored
all over the United States. Follow
; ing are some expressions of opinion
by those who have heard Mrs. Ar
mor as a public speaker.
“As the unquestionable leader of
‘ a great moral movement, I had rath
-ler wear the laurel wreath of love and
esteem which Mrs. Armor wears to
-day than to wear the diadem of a
king.”—R. L. Barnum, Wesleyan
Christian Advocate.
"Mrs. Armor is a woman of in
tense earnestness, with a bright mind
‘that works like lightning, a command
lof language that is as remarkable
las it is unusual, and an impetuous
eloquence that seems to come from
the depths of her soul. ’—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun. (Ga.)
“A rapid talker, with clear cut,
original phrases, given with an
earnestness that told that her heart
was in the work, Mrs. Armor of
Georgia addressed the people of
Lake Charles, La. No halting ex
pression was hers; like shots from
a rapid fire gun came words with im
petuous force from that slender fig
ure. There was no posing for effect.
She was too much in earnest for
that; she was there to convince her
hearers, and convince them she did.’ |
—Lake Charles Daily Press.
“Mrs. Armor's burning satire and
sparkling wit, her mighty grasp of
truth, her perfectly natural and un
affected way of presenting it, her
magnetic personality, and above all
her absolute faith in God, make her
one of the most powerful factors on
the American Continent in the over
throw of the liquor traffic.” —Nash-
ville Tennesseean.
“Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, the
whirlwind orator from Georgia, spoke
at Mt. Holly this evening and swept
everything before her. In ten min
utes this wonderful little woman, who
seems to be able to talk nightt and |
day at express train speed and keep j
it up for weeks, had her audience
completely in sympathy with her ar
guments. and ready to do almost any
thing she suggested.”—Public Ledg
er, Philadelphia.
"As Intense as LaFollette, and as
eloquent as Wm. J. Bryan, Mrs. Ar
mor is a dynamic force on the plat
form, overwhelming and Irresistible.
To an audience of fully four thousand
at the Epworth Assembly, Mrs. Ar
mor surprised, amazed and captlvat
ied all who heard her. '—L. O. Jones,
President. Lincoln, Neb.
i “Every Georgian should know and |
hear Mary Harris Armor, Georgia's!
most distinguished daughter.”—Mrs. >
T. E. Patterson. President, Georgial
W. C. T. U.
“She Is the daughter of a new
chivalry, a chivalry that will lay
down Its life to protect the weak
and let the oppressed go free.” —Mrs.
J. J. Ansley,
“This wonderful woman, in the In
tensity of her zeal, flashes like a
meteor, and scatters gem thoughts
!over her audience as does a burst
ing rocket in the sky. She tells
you of God’s purpose toward you.
i She faces the situation and so do
you—her appeal melts hearts of ad
amant. Ocalo (Fla.) Evening Star.
“She has astonished thousands ov
er the nation, and made the liquor
men think of the judgment day and
a few other appurtenances of im
pending doom.” —Golden Age.
"Her voice Is well modulated, her
manner unaffected, her delivery grace
ful. her style impressive, her inter
pretation convincing, her logic sound,
and her appeal to men and women,
boys and girls. evidences a heart
full of love for human lives and im
mortal souls, and a spirit in touch
with the Spirit of God —Hartwell
(Ga.) Sun.
"This brilliant southern woman
with faultless logic, intense dramatic
eloquence and irresistible humor held
the attention of the audience that
packed the buildlug.’—The Charles

WHOBPING COUGH
OAffIOUS DISEASE
Georgia State Board of Health Points
Out Necessity for Extreme Care
on Part of Mothers.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special) Mothers
who conseder whooping cough a triv
ial disease make a serious and often
fatal mistake, says the Georgia State
Board of Health. On the other hand,
it is very fatal; it. causes every year
in the United States nearly or quite
as many deaths as scarlet fever, and
almost one-half as many deaths as
diphtheria.
Approximately 5,000 deaths in the
United States are caused annually by
whooping cough, and of these about
97 per cent, are of children under
five years of age. If the child reaches
five years of age without having the
disease, the chances are strongly in
favor of his escaping it altogether,
though it is by no means certain and
it is well to continue to take precau
tions against it whenever necessary.
Thus, it is the babies who suffer
most from whooping cough and whose
lives are too often laid down in need
less sacrifice to it. Save the babies
from it and the problem is solved.
Considering the danger in whooping
cough, its fatality resulting more
largely from complications that fol- j
low it than from the disease itself, it
is strange that so many mothers look
on it lightly, and have even been
known in some instances to permit
their children to be exposed to it
while young upon the theory that
they are better able to stand it and
that it is well for them to have it
early and be through with it. This;
is a mistaken and dangerous view to
take. Inflammation of the breathing
tubes, which is severe in this dis
ease, Is often followed by pneumonia [
of an exceedingly fatal type. Besides
being one of the most frequent caus
es ot pneumonia in children kidney
and heart disease often follow.
Whooping coagh is a highly con
tagious disease m which the breath
ing tubes are severely inflamed, and
wnlch is accompanied by a peculiar
paroxysmal cuugu ending in uie la
minar "wnoop. 'file real cause of
me disease is not known; there nave
been many theories involving numer
ous germs, but none ot them aas ever
been proven out. Tuat tne disease
is spread almost entueiy oy immedi
ate contact —a contact wnicu must de
fairly close and intimate —is the gen
erally accepted view as to the mau
ner of its contraction. When one
child in a home has it, the others are
practically sure to contract it. It is
not generally believed to be carried
by other persons or through infected
ciothmg or other articles. Close con
tact will spread it in the open air,
but it is not so Hable to do so as in
the house.
For the first few days after con
tracting the disease the child seems
to have an ordinary cold which does
not yield to customary treatment. The
cold will continue for a week or ten
days; the child grows feverish aad
restless; the cough becomes gradual
ly deeper and harsher; the child also
Buffers from loss of appetite and may
become restless and sleepless at
night. The next stage is more se
vere, bringing the paroxysms of
coughing from which the disease gets
its name. If the child is in bed, a
coughing spell may come on without
warning; if up and about it may be
restless and disturbed, seeming to feel ■
that an attack is coming on. Any
slight disturbance such as eating, I
drinking or crying will bring on a :
spell. Beginning with a short cough,
there follows a long series of coughs
which gradually become shorter and
shorter, racking the whole body and I
causing the greatest distress. At the
end of the series of coughs the child
is breathless; its breath is drawn in
with a sudden catch and whoop.
Sometimes three or four attacks may |
come in succession, leaving the child
completely exhausted.
Every case of whooping cough |
should be treated by a physician, for
proper treatment not only lessens the
Childs suffering, but it leads to
prompt recognition of the symptoms
of any dangerous complication which
might threaten the child’s life.
Health authorities have done little
toward stamping out the disease be-;
cause of the generally prevalent be
lief that it is of a more or less trivial
nature. But it would undoubtedly ma
terially lessen the spread of the dis
ease, if health authorities would take
hold of it as they do of other dan
gerous contagious diseases, placard
ing the houses in which there are
whooping cough patients, and other
wise warning against the contagion.
It w’ould be cruel to confine children
with whooping cough entirely to the
house; they need the fresh air. But
It has been suggested that children
with whooping cough should be mark
ed with a ribbon of some specified
color worn on the arm when they
go out as a warning to others against
the disease. Such protective meas
ures must have a tendency to pre
vent the spread of the disease.
Adoption of these protective meas
ures can only be brought about when
people are conv’nced of their value
and necessity. The spread of whoop
ing cough can easily be controlled, if
the parents of any community will
unite in the wdrk. Parents whose
children have the disease should warn
their ne’chbors and friends against
visiting them: they should see to it
that their children when on the street
do not mingle with other children
and they should not let other people s
children come to their homes. Like
wise. parents of children not affected
w ; th the disease, should keep their
children severely away from those
who have it If these precautions
are adopted and health boards will
a< ‘ vigorously in aiding suppression
of whoop’ng cough, a marked reduc
t'on tn the amount of the d sease is
sure to follow hundreds of lives will
be saved and the future health of a
r.—s’de-able proportion of 'he chil
dren wt’i be greatly benefited.

STATE COLLEGE •f'ACMCULTVKE
THEIR SHORT COURSES MADE THEM MONEY
By President Andrew M. Soule.
Every state maintains an Institu
tion to discover and disseminate facts
of utility to farmers. It was for this
reason that the State College of Agri
culture was organized and is support
ed as a child of the state. In order
that this institution may do its full
duty by the farmers of the state, it
has from year to year organized short
practical courses the first ten days of
the month of January. They offer
him an opportunity to secure at a
minimum of cost the necessary facts
on which to project his farm opera
tion on the best practical basis for
the ensuing year.
There are courses in cotton indus
try, live stock production, agronomy
and horticulture. Men are therefore
permitted to specialize along that line
in which they seek to become expert
Instruction is offered by the ablest
men on the College staff and is given
in the most simple and direct manner
possible, and illustrated by laboratory
and field demonstrations. Men who
have taken these courses have stated
catarrh in chickens.
L. L. Jones. Professor Poultry
Husbandry.
Quest:on —How would you prevent
or cure catarrh in chickens?
A chicken affected with a cold, or
catarrh, should receive immediate at
tention, for while this disease in itself
is not serious, it is liable to develop
into roup if neglected. Usually a
cc d is caused by exposure during a
cold spell of weather, by draughts
of air over the birds while they are
on the roosts, by damp atmosphere
and wet weather, or by improper
housing conditions.
In many cases the bird will get
well without doctoring if the condi
tions which caused the cold in the
first place are removed. A little red
pepper given in the mash often helps
them along. If the trouble is more
serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth
should be washed out with a 3 per
cent, solution of Boracic acid. Or if
roup is suspected dip the head of the
fowl in a 1 per cent, solution of po
tass: tin permanganate, holding it
there 20 or 30 seconds. Repeat this
treatment once or twice a day until
fowl is cured. A little work when
the trouble is first noticed may pre-'
v<=nr 3 nf work Thee th« dis- ■
ease has a good start
that they saved several hundred dol
lars for an expenditure of $25.00,
about the amount required for travel
ing expenses and board to take one
of these short courses.
Will you continue in the old rut or
will you get out on the high new level
of attainment which science has
shown to be within the reach of every
farmer? Will you become a regener
ated citizen inspired with a new pur
pose? You have an opportunity to do
so through taking advantage of these
courses* especially prepared and offer
ed for your benefit and available at a
minimum of cost to every white stu
dent of the state over the age of six
teen who can read and write. Take
this matter up with your neighbor,
canvass your community, bring a club
of farmers to the short course. Os all
the investments which you can make
as an individual or for your communi
ty, none will surpass this. This is
not a personal opinion, but is based
on the specific statements of men
who have been with us in the past.
BEEF GROWING ADVANTAGE IN
GEORGIA.
M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
Husbandry.
Question —Can cattle be grown for
beef in Georgia as cheaply as in the
West?
The West can furnish grain cheap
er, but Georgia can produce more sil
age to the acre, get longer grazing
and more and better food from Ber
muda grass than is obtained from
western grasses. The demonstrated
possibilities of corn-growing in Geor
gia show that even the West should
have nothing over it in that respect.
Georgia can now grow beef cattle as
cheaply as the grain states, but with
its full possibilities developed it
should have an advantage.
As an indication of how values can
be increased in growing cattle for
beef, the State College of Agriculture
bought cows in South Georgia at sl7
per head and sold calves from these
cows at the average age of 23 months
on the Athens market for $44.99 each.
Benjamin Leath, the corn club
prize winner who has been taking a
course in agriculture, has been com
pelled to return to his home in Clark
county of ill health He expects tp
petum to College.
