A Contemptible Effort to Arouse
Hatred in New England to
The South
The action of W. G. Waldo and the
Tennesse River Improvement asso
ciation in deliberately attempting to
restrict the noraml development of
Southern resources will probably have
the same nauseating effect upon all
high-minded New Englanders that it
must have upon parrtriotic citizens
of any other section. It will scarce
ly disturb any informed Southerner,
nor fill with hope any informed New
Englander, for Mr. Waldo’s argu
ments that by restricting the use of
power from a single power plant —
Muscle Shoals— the south’s steady
march to industrial development may
be blocked, is childish and absurb.
Muscle Shoals has been magnified
a thousand diameters by rotten poli
ties, of which W. G. Waldo’s action is
a particular offensive example.
“If New England desires cheaper
cotton and the curtailment or elim
ination of the south as an industrial
and manufacturing competitor,’’
argues Mr. Waldo, “it will support
the offer of the American Cyanamid
company for the government's great
hydro-electric plant at Muscle
Shoals.”
So run, in part, the arguments of
Waldo and the Tennessee River Im
provement association, and the din
gus of all horoughgoing citizens will
be mixed with the suspicion that spec
ulators in lands surrounding Muscle
Shoals must have been largely instru
mental in bringing forth this mon
struos effort, contemptible for the
method chosen, to concentrate upon a
small, chosen area industry that will
otherwise be widely distributed.
“If New England would pay a high
er price for cotton and see the con
tinuation of the movement of mills
ami factories from that section to the
southern states, then it should sup
port the proposal of the associated
power companies of the southeast.”
This is a further sample of an effort
to fan to flame a smouldering sec
tionalism that has always been a
hateful element in our national life.
It is the core of an argument aimed
at forcing upon the nation the least
profitable, nationally, of two offers
that have been submitted; a deliber
ate attempt, in other words, to rob
the national treasury for the benefit
of a few people in the immediate vi
cinity of Muscle Shoals. There is
more along the same linesh, for ex
ample:
"It is now for New England to say
whether she prefers that the leading
southern water-power shall be em
ployed by private fertilizer companies
to produce cheaper fertilizers that
will reduce production costs on New
England farms, or whether she pre
fers to see this power, like all the
others of that region, turned over to
a group of southern powerr com
panies and utilized to compete indus
terially with New England manufac
turers.”
Nobody, north or south, will sup
pose for a moment that the south’s
development can be halted. It is
drawn by too many powerful attrac
tions; it is already moving with too
vast momentum. But public-spirited
men of all section will view with sick
ening contempt this efort of a few
selfish men to stab their own section
in the back and block the normal,
healthy development of great natural
resources that are not sectional, but
are national in their importance.
We trust for the honor of the
members of the Tennessee River as
sociation, which organization is sup
posed to be composed of reputable
men who love the south and who
would seek its best development, that
this vicious and villianous effort to
create in New England hostility to
the progress of the south will be re
pudiated.
This is the most barefaced, rotten
arguments in connection with Muscle
Shoals which has ever been put forth.
It is h disgrace to every man in any
way whatever responsible for its pub
lication. It is a definite attempt to
array New England against the
south. It is couched in a spirit of
bitterness which we are quite sure
will be ns strongly resented by New
England people as by the people of
the south and by congress itself.
If Mr. Waldo bad been seeking in
some underhand way to bring about
the acceptance by the government of
the offer of southern power com
panies for Muscle Shoals, he could
not. we think, have accomplished
more than he has done by this at
tack upon the south and this effort
to arouse hostility in New England
for southern upbuilding. His stupid
ly foolish effort will react against
him. New England is too broad, too
patriotic, too independent to be in
fluenced by such an asinine appeal as
this, seeking to arouse a selfish
hatred to the south’s progress.
That any man or any business or
g;> ni/.ation should have been so be
reft of reason and ordinary common
intelligence as to have mathered such
publication is incomprehensible, and
we trust that the American Cyana
mid company, in whose interest this
pamphlet seems to have been written,
is not responsible for it nor for its
publication, for we believe the mem
bers of that organization would not
sink to such a low level as to be re
sponsible for this effort to secure
Muscle Shoals by amusing the hatred
of New England to the south and to
broad southern development. But
the American Cyanamid company
should instantly announce its entire
freedom from any connection with
this pamphlet, which was secretly
distributed through New England
with the apparent hope that no one
in the south would ever see it.

Report of Chattooga County
Jail Visiting Committee
It is recommended to the county
commissioners that:
First—Drains be installed in the
basement, in order that the kitchen
and dining room may be maintained
in a sanitary condition.
At present there are no drains, and
the basement is frequently flooded
with water. This causes the exis
tence of an unhealthy condition in
the jail, which must affect both the
jailer’s family and the prisoners.
From the standpoints of health and
convenience, then it is respectfully
recommended that this matter be
given the serious consideration of
the commissioners as soon as possi
ble.
Second —When the cell work is
next painted, it be given a coat of
light-colored paint, preferably bat
tleship gray.
A light-colored paint would add
considerably to the appearance of the
jail interior and would permit a
greater amount of light to penetrate
into the cells.
Third—Removable slips of white,
unbleached material be provided for
all mattresses.
These slips are a decided economy.
The original cost is low, and they
are necessary from the standpoint of
sanitation, since the slips may be re
moved and washed, while there is
no effective way of cleaning the
soiled mattresses.
It is recommended to the sheriff
that:
Fourth—Blankets be laundered at
least once each month while in use,
and that clean blankets be given pris
oners when newly committed.
The committee desires to commend
the sheriff for the general clean con
dition in which the jail was found at
the time of its visit. The committee
was also impressed by the good qual
ity of the food served the prisoners.
The following wording of the law,
Section 9, Bill 186, acts of 1919,
typifies the purpose of the service
we are rendering, and also the spirit
in which we made our inspection and
are submitting this report:
The duty of said committee
shall be to visit and inspect the
jails as often as it may deem
necessary, and to encourage and
aid the local authorities in main
taining such institutions in an
efficient manner.
We, therefore, cordially invite the
county authorities to whom this re
port is addressed to permit us to dis
cuss this report with them, so that
the beneficial purposes of this serv
ice for unfortunate men and women
may become better understood, and
that we may work together more ef
fectively for the welfare of our coun
ty in this respect.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. P. GARY, Chairman.

IN MEMORY
On August 26, the death angel en
tered the home of J. W. Holt and
claimed for its victic the dear old
mother and grandmother, Mrs. Ra
chel Katherine Holt. She was 84
years and 2 months old at the time
of her death.
She was born and reared in Chero
kee county. In 1903 she moved to
this county, having made her home
with her son, where she resided at
the time of her death .
At the tender age of 14 she united
with the Methodist church, and later
joined and was baptised into the
Coosawatte Baptist church, where
her membership still remains. She
was a woman of many splendid traits.
To know her was to love her. In 1862
she was married to W. J. Holt, who
preceded her to the great beyond 6
years ago. To this union was born
10 children, 4 of whom survive her.
J. W. Holt, Gore; W. J. Holt, Cal
houn; W. E. Holt, Cedar Bluff, Ala;
Mrs. Tom Bahonnon, Summerville.
64 grandchildren and great grand
children who will miss her dear
smiling face. But our Savior’s will
must be done. He has only carried her
home to rest till that day when we
will all be gathered to meet her,
where there will be no more parting.
And we should all try to live as she
did so when we are called we, can
hear our Master say “Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joys of thy Lord.”
Sleep on Dear Mother,
Take thy rest;
We loved thee,
But God loved thee best.

BOARD HEALTH OFFERS
TOXIN-ANTITOXIN FREE
This Offer i s Limited Until
October 15.
Committee of Citizens Must Get
Sufficient Number Children
Ready to be Immunized.
The state board of health has se
cured sufficient money from outside
I their appropriation, which is only 3c
per capita for all purposes, to buy
and offer the several counties of the
state enough toxin-antitoxin to im
munize 200 children, or 600 doses,
for each county. The time in which
this offer can be taken advantage of
is limited until October 15. Therefore,
if our county is to take adavtnage of
this offer, we must act now. The state
board of health has also fixed definite
rules for distribution; they are:
“A committee of citizens must get
a sufficient number of children of the
community ready to be immunized,
forming a toxin-antitoxin clinic. On
this committee should be the physi
cians representing the profesion, some
one of which must order and be res
ponsible for the toxin-antitoxin; to
see that it is kept under constant re
frigeration and to return all that is
unused at the expiration of 30 days
from its receipt. A list of the children
attending the clinic and receiving the
immunization, must be furnished the
Keep in
Trim!
Good Elimination Is Essential to Good
Health.
THE kidneys are the blood filters.
If they fail to function properly
there is apt to be a retention of toxic
poisons in the blood. A dull, languid
feeling and, sometimes, toxic back
aches, headaches, and dizziness are
symptoms of this condition. Further
evidence of improper kidney func
tion is often found in burning or
scanty passage of secretions. Each
year more and more people are learn
ing the value of Doan’s Pills, a
stimulant diuretic, in this condition.
Scarcely a nook or hamlet anywhere
but has many enthusiastic users.

“No child over seven years can re
ceive the free toxin-antitoxin but all
children under ten years should be
immunized. A charge of 15c should
be collected for all children over sev
en and remitted to the state board of
health. Free toxin-antitoxin can not
be sent to individual physicians for
individual use, but only for group ad
ministration, and the committee'
should not order out the supply before
the groups are formed and they are
ready to administer it.”
It is useless for us to urge the
need of such immunization. It is fol
ly to tell of the danger from dipthe
ria. It seems useless to tell you of
the hundreds who die from the scurge.

It is perhaps worth while to say that
toxin-antitoxin gives, in the vast ma
jority of cases, 100 per cent immuni
ty for life. There are very few chil
dren who have to have a second vac
cination. There is seldom a reaction
from the medicine, which is given
exactly like typhoid vaccine and re
quires the same number of doses.
Our community should immeditely
organize our clinic, appoint our com
mittees and order out our supply.
