Walton The emergehcy drawer Is de
signed to fill this need. 1t should be
stout and steady, with no tendency to
stick fast when least expected, and
we'll out sc reach of little prying fin
gers. It should also be located some
where in the kitchen. as oftentimes a
wound is neglected rather than run up
stairs for assistance.
The remedy always on hand should
be carron oil equal Parts of lime water
and hnseed oil, com mon baking soda,
arnica, salYe, anti septic gauze, to-
gether with absorbent cotton, old linen,
cheesecloth bandages and a pair Of
scissors. Carron oil is a sovereign rem
edy for burns and scalds, and should
always be on hand; baking soda is all
other very good remedy, and in burns
from hot lard will often give relief
much sooner than the oil. 1t is used
either dry, or made into strong solu-
ton with water
Anti-septic gauze is useful in case of
cuts. After washing thoroughly to re-
move any foreign substance, draw the
edges firmly together and cover neatly
with the gauze. Salve is for slight
burns, etc, Gld serves merely to ex-
clude the air from the tender surface.

James B. Runnion, now ed1tor-in-chief

THE COUNTIES MUST ACT.

At the Supervisors Convention enough
money was pledged for the State exhibit
at the Atlanta Exposition to give encour-
agement to the enterprise, but not enough
to assure it. The counties that have not
yet pledged to furnish their quota ought to
act promptly in order that this assurance
may be had. The subject is an important
one, and time is pressing. Every day is of
value. and no county should be laggard in
joining her sister counties in this under
taking for the welfare of the State.
When it is remembered that the entire
sum asked from the counties is only $4,000,
and that $350O was pledged at the conven-
ton, it will be seen that what remains to
be raised is but small sum in comparison
with the wealth of the State and the pros
pective benefits to be derived from the ex-
position. The amount apportioned to any
one county is certainly too small to be
haggled over.
We have heard good deal recently
about harmony in all parts of the State,
unity Of effort, cooperation for mutual
benefit, and the working of all counties to-
gether for the general good. Now is the
time to make manifest the sincerity OF
these words and the earnestness OF those
who utter them. The Supervisors OF each
county are charged with the duty of re-
spending to this sentiment that pervades
the people. They should act promptly in
