According to present tentatively
outlined plans, the committee will
arrange a program for the celebra

the first time, officially. Not only
are they going after local people
but will advertise the event,
through the co-operation of the
merchants in the affected area all
over this part of Georgia and South
Carolina.
Street dancing, throwing of con
fetti and a general jolly gettogether
constitute the big scheme for a real

TWO GOVERNORS

Governor Clifford Walker, of
Georgia, and Governor Thomas G.
McLeod of South Carolina, will be
invited to attend the big celebra
tion and to make addresses. In
reference to inviting the South
Carolina chief executive, Chairman
Don H. Culley says he considers
this a most appropriate step, since
South Carolina is Just over the
river from Augusta and so many
South Carolinians use Augusta as
their trade center "In fact,” says
Mr. Culley, “Augusta came very

THUNDERSTORM OF
FRIDAY NIGHT IS
EXPLAINED BY EMIGH
A great many are at a loss
to account for the electric storm
which struck the city at an
early hour Saturday morning,
but E. D. Emigh, meteorolo
gist of the local U. S. weath
bureau, says It was caused by
an energetic disturbance origi
nating In the Gulf States Fri
day, which swt?pt northeast
ward to the North Carolina
coast during the night coming
in contact with the cold wave
from the west. Mr. Emight says
that thundersorms in he Win
er time, thougli possibly un
usual, are not by any means
beyond probability‘or explana
tion.

dicts: "Fair and somewhat

MILD EPIDEMIC OF!
DIPTHERIA IS NOW
PREVALENT IN CITY,
SAYS DR. H.B, NEAGLE
City and County Health |
Officer Makes Statement as
to Situation, and Describes
Use of Anti-Toxin and
Toxin Anti-Autoxin, as Well
As Schick Test.
It was announced Saturday by Dr.
H. B. Neagle, city and county
health officer, that a mild epidemic
of diptheria is now prevelent in Au
gusta and the citizens should take
immediate steps to prevent the
spreading of this disease. The ad
ministration of toxin-antitoxin
immunizes one for life from the
malady, he says. Every child can be
permanently protected from dipthe
ria, Dr. Neagle said.
Outlining the method of treat
ment and the proceedure in the
premises, Dr. Neagle made the fol
lowing statement:
"A mild epidemic of diptheria is
now prevalent in the City of Au
gusta and public interest is aroused
to such an extent that a genera!
consideration of this disease is de
sirable.
"Three proceedures are possible
in a campaign against diptheria.
Each has a separate and distinct
objective, and each is of value, but
by no means are they of equal
value at all times and under all
conditions.
"It is important that all parents
shall understand a few facte con
cerning the three proceedures which
will indicate their relative value. It
is also wise to be perfectly frank
about their limitations.
"The three proceedures which
may be desirable under different
conditions are as follows:
FIRST— THE SICK TEST
"This is useful only to determine
whether a child or adult is suscepti
ble to diptheria or is naturally pro
tected against the disease.
"A few children cannot catch
diptheria even if they are exposed
and many adults cannot catch dip
theria no matter how often they
come in contact with it. The sick
test gives accurate information
which shows definitely who Is and
who is not liable to catch this dis
ease.
SECOND—ANTI-TOXIN
TREATMENT
"This is a treatment for diptheria.
It must be given to every one who
has diptheria for it is ,the only
treatment. It must be.given because
it will always prevent death and
always prevent severe illness if
given early enough and in sufficient
quantity.
“A large dose placed directly in a
ve\i and spread by the blood
quickly throughout the body will
often save a dying child.
“Anti-Toxin may also be given to
children who may be expected to
have diptheria and it will always
prevent the disease entirely or make
is very mild. In other words, this
is a cure which may be given be
fore the child is sick. In the vast
majority of cases it absolutely pro
tects against diptheria but, and
again this is important, it only pro
tects for about three week s
THIRD—TOXIN
ANTITOXIN
"This is nbt a cure for diptheria.
It will not even prevent diptheria
if a child has already been ex
posed. You may well ask what does
it do? The answer is that it will,
if used properly, absolutely stamp
out diptheria, wipe it off the face
of the earth, never to return. This
surely entitles it to consideration
and a study of its use.
"Simply stated, it is a mixture of
poison and antidote, which given
to a child will protect it forever
after from diptheria, but, and this
is of the utmost Importance, it
does not act for several months. If
your child receives Toxin-Antitoxin
Dec. 1, 1924 and once a week there
after for three weeks, you may rest
assured that after July 1, 1925 it
will never have diptheria.
"If every child were given Toxin-
Antitoxin early in life he or she
would be forever after protected
and in a few years diptheria would
become as rare as yellow fever is
in Augusta.
"To summarize: We have, first,
a test to show who can have dip
theria and who cannot.
"Secondly, we have a cure for
diptheria, which Is so sure and so
harmless that it is given to all who
have been exposed as well as those
who are actually suffering from the
disease.
"Thirdly, we have the power to
protect permanently every child
who does not catch diptheria In the
next six months.
"Practically the three procedures
are of Importance in Augusta right
now. They should be made use of
as follows:
THE BICK TEST
"Very few children under eight
years of age are free from danger
of cathlng diptheria, so under this
age we need not use this test.
“After eight years of age people
become less and less susceptible,
and as the test Is simple, harmless
and ' Inexpensive. It becomes more
and more desirable to use It.
"It Is solely used as a guide for
the administration of Toxin-Anti
toxin and has nothing to do with
the treatment of the disease.
"Every child under eight should
be protected permanently from ever
catching dlpatherla by Toxin-Anti
toxin. The treatment costs money
and time and should be given only
to adults v/ho have been proven
by the sick test to be susceptible.
It has been decided by those who
have had the greatest experience
with it that it le wise to use It
even in children who are over
eight years of age. This age is
selected for two reasons. One is for
economy, end the other Jh to Rvoid
useless medical attention as far as
possible.
It is an honest attempt to be
fair and Just with the public, both
as to their need* and to their pocket
books.
i "Diptheria Antitoxin is used uni
versally, is universally accepted aa

CAUTION IS USED BY
SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
IN RICHMOND COUNTY
In view of the fact that the pub
lic has again been startled with
the news of a disaster to a school
truck near Moultrie by careless
driving, and that the Board of
Education of this County is also
operating school trucks, the public
is also itnerestod in knowing what
requirements are made of drivers
of school trucks here.
The Board does not own the
trucks, nor pay any operating ex

GEORGIA WAS FIRST i
GOVT IN WORLD TO
HELP REHABILITATE
HER WAR VETERANS
This Occurred Following
| Civil War, and Now Augu
j sta District is Leading
South in Number of World
War Veterans Being Given
I Vocational Training
"The state of Georgia,” says R. W.
Adamson, rehabilitation assistant
for tho IT. S. Veterans Bureau, in
charge of Augusta district, "was
the first government in the world
to establish rehabilitation plans for
war veterans, when she provided for
the rehabilitation of her Civil War
veterans following that great strug
gle.”
In reference to his work here In
taking care of the many ex-ser
vice men, who fought in any of the
branches of Uncle Bam s combatant
forces during the World Wur, Mr.
Adamson says tho Augusta district
is the heaviest. In point of tho num
ber of men being accommodated, in
this section of the south. Mr.
Adamson gives as the reason for
this that Augusta Industries and
business men are more responsive
in tho matter of offering oppor
tunities to your men for vocational
training, for the sole purpose of
assisting tire U. S. Veterans' Bu
reau in Us great work.
In ail, 43 men are being handled
by Mr. Adamson’s office, most of
them being trained locally in in
dustrial and institutional courses.
Of the total, there are twelve tak
ing agricultural training, most of
(hose being scattered over Mr.
Adamson's territory, which em
braces a good part of the State ot
Georgia, reaching two-thirds of tho
way to Macon and about two-thirds
of the way to Savannah. All towns
in this territory, should trainees bo
placed in them, would fall under
the supervision of the Augusta of
fice.
AGRICULTURAL MEN
TRAIN AT HOME.
Practically in every Instance, the
agricultural trainees nre natives of
the sections where they have been
placed, it being the policy of the
bureau to place a man near his
home, wherever possible. Trainees
in other courses come from three
states, Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama. One man lately winding
up his course, came from Maryland.
In speaking of the question as to
whether rehabllatlon really helps
the men and pays tho government,
Mr. Adamson cites the cases of five
of his trainees, all of them medical
students at the Medical College
here. One of the five graduated
last Juno In his course In madlclne
at the top of his class, while there
are now four at the college, all
bearing high ratings in their class
work. Another of the trainees,
taking agricultural work, is farm
ing 27 acres of cotton, starting with
small capital, and will make more
than 20 bales as a cfop for 1924.
Mr. Adamson point* with pride to
this case, saying tirat this ex-ser
vice man. followed all the instruc
tions of the bureau and farmed his
land in strict culture. A third case,
which Is also an agricultural case,
is cited, in which a young man,
taking training near Augusta, has
all this year marketed the products
of a truck farm, raising good stuff
and putting it up In such attractive
packages that he has created a
great demand for his wares. This
young man, Mr. Adamson says, made
money this year off of his farm in
addition to the allowance given him
by the government under rehabili
tation.
NINETY PER CENT
OF TRAINEES MAKE GOOD,
Answering the sometimes heard
charge that rehabilitation of veter
ans Is money wasted by an extrava
grant government, Mr, Adamson
says thnt fully 90 per cant of the
men under his office are making
good or have already done so.
"When the government takes men
and trains them along productive
lines of endeavor and makes nine
ty out of every hundred of them
into good, working citizens, it Is
building up and saving up a better
citizenship, not destroying or
throwing away anything," Mr.
Adamson holds.
Further substantiating his state
ment thaht the government's reha
bilitation scheme pays big divi
dends, Mr. Adamson calls atten
tion to two more cases:
One young fellow, taking training
in the poultry business and who
started out with a cock and three
hens, now has a yard of about 100
six-montha-old chickens. He won
first prizes at the Warren-Glas
cock fair with his new strain of
birds, the Jersey Black Olnnt. Thla
strain Is new to this part of the
country, but this veteran made
a go of It.
GOOD JOR WAITING
FOR THIS VETERAN.
Another of the hoys, s trainee In
the electrical field, winds up hi*
course in December, and Mr. Adam
hns alrendy contracted with a pnrtv
for a fine Job with unusually good
pay for him. This trainee will
rank aa a maater electrician when
his course is completed.
Towns now being worked by Hie
bureau's Augusta office with train
ees in them are:
Martinez, Thomson, Warrenton,
f'amak, Sandersvllle. Tennllle,
Wadlcy, Davlsboro, Butts, Still
more, Hwainsboro, Perkins, Mlllen,
Waynesboro.
The office, of which Mr. Adam
son is in charge, is on the htlrd
floor of the poetofflc* building, lo
cated In the offices of the 17. R.
wather bureau. Mr. Adamson
spends a great deal of his time in
the office, but hla duties also tske
