HON. W. W. POPE .
The subject of this sketch,
William Warren Pope, son of
Mr. John Pope of Montgomery
County, deceased, was orn
March 25, 1859 and died at Ins
home in Liberty county on
Augest 24, 1914.
Deceased professed religion
in early manhood and united
with the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Glenwood, then
Morrison Church, of which he
remained a consistent member
until about 4 years since, when
he charged his membership to
the Taylor Creek M. E. Church
in Liberty Co.
In 1878 he was happily mar
ried to Miss Emily Adams,
daughter of Mr. M. B. Adams,
deceased
The fruits of this union were
five daughters and three sones,
one of the sons dying in infancy.
Mr. Pope, after his marriage,
settled near Landsburg, then
Montgomery, now Wheeler
county, where he resided for 30
years, and where all his children
were born and raised. Moving
from there 4 years ago he went
to Taylor’s Creek, in Liberty
county Where he has lived since,
where his sad demise occurred.
His friends, who are all who
knew him, were always welcom
ed to his hospitable home, where
he and his estimable wifff’pre
sided with courtesy and hospi
tality, and it was always a pleas
ure to visit at Warren Pope’s.
The writer recalls with pleas
ure, mingled with sadness now,
the many pleasant hours he has
spent at this hospitable home.
Besides an aged mother, six
brothers and one sister, Mr
Pope is survived by his noble,
griefstricken wife, five daught
ers. Mrs J. J. Geiger of Liberty
county, Mrs. J. H. Blair of New
Orleans, Mrs. Lamar Sears of
Alamo, Mrs. A- J. Lowery of
Laurens county, and two sons,
Mr. A. L. Pope of Liberty county
and Mr. Pratt Pope of Laurens
county, with all of whom we
deeply grieve in their sad be
reavement and irreparable loss.
May God add his blessing and
tender consolation to them.
A FRIEND.

Hookworm Campaign
Closed Last Saturday
The hookworm campaign
which has been running in
Wheeler county 1 lie past four
weeks, closed last Saturday.
The campaign has been very suc
cessful. 1,849 persons were ex
amined and 1,273 of this number
were infected and received treat
ment, many receiving second
and third treatment.
The I’fe history of this small
parasite, known most commonly
as the hookworm, has been re
peated so many times by Dr.
Whittle at the dispensaries and
stereoption lectures, which were
given, that we will not give it
again here. However, we wish
to mention the way hookworm
disease may be prevented.
If you will build a sanitiry
closet at your home; one that is
fly proof, chicken and hog proof,
and that keeps the excreta there
deposited confined. Have every
member of the family use this
closet and if you have not already
had them examined for hook
worm disease, do so, and if they
are infected have them treated.
If you will do this, in six months
there will not be any little hook
worms in the soil about your
home, and your family will be
free from this disease, and will
remain so unless they get the
infection from some neighbor
who has not taken the same pre
cautions that you have. Remem
ber the sanitary conditions that
prevent spread of hookworm
disease, also prevents many
other diseases. Just keep in
mind that hookworms inhabit
the small bowel, and each worm
lays from two to six thousand
eggs per day, which hatch after
they are passed out on the soil.
The baby worms live in the soil
six months and have all the time
they are in the soil, except the
first nine days, to get in some
person,s intestines. Once there,
they suck blood, poison the in
dividual and lay eggs for the
next ten years, unless the per
son takes treatment. Any thing
that prevents the baby worm
from getting in the soil will pre
vent hookworm disease. A
closet is the only way w T e know
of.
We are convinced that this is
the greatest work that has ever
been done in Georgia, and in the
future will be more appreciattd
than at present. Every county
should take advantage of this
work that is being carried on by
the State Board of Health, as
soon as it is offered them.
Dr. "Whittle and Mr. Adams
left Monday for Telfair county,
where they will conduct a simi
lar campaign. Following are
the dispensary points in that
county, during September and
first three days in October:
Scotland every Tuesday, fore
noon; Towns every Tuesday,
afternoon; Lumber City every
Wednesday; Jacksonville first
and third Thursdays; Sharon
church last and second Thurs
days; Milan every Friday and
Mcßae every Saturdav.

Hardwick Nominated
Short Term Senator.
•Macon, •••z-at 3.-Following r Tac
tically twenty-four hours of contin
uous session, sensational at many
stages, the democratic state conven
tion yesterday not n ntmirattd lies.
W. Hardwiok, the Huke Smith candi
date, to be the junior senator from the
state of Georgia for the unexpired
term of the late Senator A. O, Bacoa.
This was done by virtue of the
withdrawal of Thos. S. Felder of Bibb,
and his ninety-one votes, just before
the fourteenth bal'ot, after a five-hour
adjournment following an alnight ses
sion, and Felder’s throwing his entire
delegation to the Hardwick side.
The Slaton forces went down to de
feat undaunted, with 133 votes stand
ing firm f»r the governor on the final
ballot.
The nomination of Hardwick followed
one of the grimmest, hardest fought
convention fights the state of Georgia
has known in many years, declare
seasoned politicians. The victory of
the “gamecock” from Washington
county Was only achieved after all
night-long balloting, a three-hour early
morning filibuster by the temporary
Slaton-Felder coalition to force ad
journment for the weary delegates and
after Felder’s final realization that the
Slaton men were neyer coming down,
