Miller County Fair.
We believe a keen interest inai -
ifested in the proposed fair to b<-
held here in November will mark
the dawning of an additional er>
of improvement for ttie citizenry
of M iller covnty.
An interesting list of premium
appears elsewhere in this issue.
The Savannah Press has the fol
lowing timely article about the
county fair;
It is very evident from reports
that come to us through our week
ly exchanges that there are matij
counties in Georgia preparing to
hold fairs this fall. These are en
terprises that should be encour
tged.
The county fair is a good thing,
and it will be noticed that tie
ciunties that, have them aie
among the most progressive in the
state.
Os course to Macon and the
county of Bibb go to the honor oi
holding the state fair. Macon
seems to be the one city that can
make a success of this affair. For
mmy years it has made the state
fair an occasion of more than
state-wide interest. It is tl e
c lunties, however, through their
exhaustive exhibits that make tie
state fair so entertaining and ii -
B‘ructive and it is very helpful ai d
p igressive sign when the coun*
ties themselves can make up an
exhibit of such interest as to
create a series of county fairs.
Georgia is going to ha\e a busy
and prosperous fall, and the weahh
of her farms and het forests should
fullv us possible
the state is now paying inure at
tention to dairying and stock rais
i igtlian ever before and some of
the counties can get up exhibits
very creditable in their character
from the stock yards and the dairy
farms.
The farmers and others inter
ested, who live in counties that
plan fairs and exhibitions, should
encourage the promoters in every
way to make them the greatest
success possible.
The wholesale price of meal is
now more than §I,()0 per bushel.
Farmers in this section will do
well to carefully harvest and pro

The Donalsonville Enterprise o‘
last weeK exemplified the spirit of
enterprise which dominates th*-
citiz ns of that progressive section
in which it makes its home
’Twas a trade edition, and th-me
were about eight pages of adver
tising matter. Like the merchants
of other (.rowing ciUes, Donalson

A few weeks ago, in Chicago, an
i utomobile approached a draw-
I ridge at the rate of forty-five
miles an hour. This auto was
< losely followed by an officer on a
n otorcycle, who was endeavoring
to head the driver off in his mad
pace. Six person) were in the
machine, and they all went down
to their death in the waters of
Chicago liver. Why were thise
people traveling at the rate of
forty-five miles an hour? Oh, jusi
f<>r the fun of the thing! They
were not going anywhere in parti
cular, and didn’t have anything to
do whin they got there. They
were killing time, and when you
kill time, you are probably killing
y urself.

The beautiful reference the poet
made to her recalled.
Aliscn Cunningham, 'he nurse
about whom Robert Louis Steven
son wrote the tender words of
dedication in his ‘ Child’s Garden
of Verses,” died the other day a'
the age of nine-two. \\ hat reader
of Stevenson does not know the
beautiful lines:
For the long nights you lay awake
And watched for my unworthy sake:
For your most comfortable hand
That led me through the uneven land:
For all the story books you read:
For all the pains you comforted:
From the sick ehil', now well and old,
Take, nurse, the little book you hold.
No woman h«s lived it vim
who receives such a tribute of lov
ing memory from any man she
cared for as a child, whether he
be famous wri*er or only unknown
toiler.—Youth’s Companion.

CHRONIC IMLM
MU IIS GAUSES
Malarial Parasites Often Remain in
the Body When Patient Is
Apparently Cured.
Atlanta, Ga. —There are persons In
Georgia walkfig around with malaria,
who do not know they have it. They
have had all the symptoms of malaria
one or more times, and when the symp
toms are eliminated they think them
selves cured. Tfcy attribute the re
curring attacks to a fresh infection,
whereas the cause is really within
themselves.
This is known as chronic malaria,
in which the patient retains w;ithln his
body dormant elements of the dis
ease; when these become active, as
they may do at any time, all the symp
toms of the disease again appear, and
the patient has an acute attack.
The causes of, and the methods of
treating, chronic malaria are now well
understood. The discovery ofWie ma
larial parasite has resulted in the
clearing up of practically everything
that was formerly obscure tn connec
tion with malaria. Not only did this
discovery bring knowledge of the
means of transmission of the disease,
but further investigation iias clearly
shown how chronic malaiia is produc
ed and why it is that quinine fails to
relieve it.
A few days after a man tJecomes
inoculated with malaria, through the
bite of an Infected anopheles mosquito,
two varieties of parasites are found in
the blood. One of these is«ftfe ordi
nary chill-producing parasite, which is
effectually killed by quinine; the oth
er is the sexual form of the! Parasite
and is in no way affected by that drug.
May Carry Them for Years.
These sexual fdrms of the parasite,
male and female, circulate in th.- blood
for months and, possibly, years, simply
waiting for the, anopheles mosquito to i
suck them out; then, within the body
of the mosquito, the union is formed
between the male and female para
sites, and the production of the many
young chill-causing malarial parasite:
follows; then these young parasites
are Injected Into the blood of a man,
when the mosquito bites, and an acute
attack of malaria follows.
The anopheles mosquito which is
the sole conveyor of the malarial par-1
asite, has been described in a former ,
j-article. Resting withjts body almost
i attaches Itself, it Is easily dlstin
iliWyj ’(srio fit
mosquito, whose bent body, In rest, is
almost parallel to the surface on
which it alights. When it bites it
injects the chill-producing .parasite
into the blood. Each of these para
sites attacks a red blood corpuscle
and soon divides into from seven to
twenty-five chill-producing parasites,
and each of these, in turn, attacks an
other red blood cell. This process goes i
on until, within a comparatively short !
time, a sufficient number of parasites >
has been produced to cause the symp- (
toms of malaria.
How It Becomes Chronic.
After a person has had malaria for
a short while, there are millions of
these sexual parasites in the blood.
The chill-producing parasites may have
all been killed by quinine, and the
patient may feel restored in health.
But it has been shown that occasional
ly a female sexual parasite remaining
in the blood, will, for some inexplica
ble reason, suddenly breed or give off
the chill-producing parasites, and these
latter then begin to multiply rapidly.
In a week or so they will cause the
malarial chills just as though the pa
tient had been inoculated by a mos
quito.
The foregoing explains the well
known fact that patients with chronic
malaria have from time to time, re
currences of the disease after having
been apparently cured by quinine, Ii
also shows how and why a patient ap
patently cured, yet harboring the sex
ual forms of the parasite, is just a
dangerous in causing the spread of tin
disease as is one suffering from an
acute attack.
Cure of Chronic Malaria.
It follows from the foregoing, says
the Georgia State Board of Health
that the first step necessary is to kil
the chill-producing parasite with qui
nine, and then begin the administra
tlon of arsenic in as large doses a;
possible, for it has been found tha’
this drug kills the sexual form of the
parasite, though it is usually neces
sary to administer it for severs
months before the object is attained
While giving the arsenic the patient
should have a full dose of quinine ev
ery few days, as otherwise some oi
the female sexual forms might sporu '
late and give rise to some of the chill
producing forms which are not affect
ed to any extent by arsenic.
Arsenic, as is well known, is a poi
sonous drug; and it is likewise dan
gerous for persons unfamiliar with
quinine to administer that drug. It
is essential, therefore, that in the
proper treatment of malaria, a com
petent physician be called, and that
the patient follow explicitly his direc
tions until he is pronounced cured.
The State Board of Health is pre
pared to make examinations of blood •
for malarial parasites free of cost, I
and will gladly make such tests and I
report the results to any one desiring |
them. Specimens should be address
ed to Dr. H. F. Harris, Secretary State I
Board of Health, State Capitol, At
lanta, Ga. |
If there is any doubt about it, the I
safest method is to have your physi- I
clan send a specimen of your blood to |
the State Board. ’
