CURE CONSUMPTION ADVISE
DOCTOR TO DOCTORS

NEW YORK, July 15.-"Thousands, tens
of thousands of people die because their
physicians have not the moral courage to
say to them This is tuberculosis and now
is the time to take precautions
Such was the statement made by Med
zeal Officer Biggs. of the health depart
ment, in an address before the summer
school in philanthropic work, conducted
by the charity organizations society.
'In the case of autopsies in New York
hospitals. which have come under my
knowledge" he continued fully sixty
per cent had had, some time in their lives,
tuberculosis. OF these a little more than
half had died of that disease. The re-
mainder had recovered and in nlanyrcas es
had not known of its existence in their
systems. A third of those who die in our
hospitals die of consumption. In one of
the older cities of Europe the proportion
is much greater.
THE tuberculosis bacilli do not multiply
outside the system. They tend to die. In
lection is by the original bacillus. If at all.
Large numbers are quickly destroyed. Di-
rect sunlight destroys them quickly, day
light In time. The danger is in damp,
dark rooms.
tuberculosis is an absolutely preventa-
BILE disease. 1t is not only preventable.

how early a diagnosis is made. II 1t can

William Pierce. of 1872 Mcdaniel street,
farmer, who has but recently come to
the city, was Monday arrested for steal
ing live rattlesnake from a Decent show
near the Peters street railroad crossing.
The theft created a great deal Of excite
ment at the show and at nearby saloon,
where Pierce displayed the reptile. At
police headquarters the officers were
equally excited, when the matter was re-
ported over the phone.
Policeman Kerlin found Pierce with the
snake in a saloon. The man allowed the

TELEGRAPH COMPANY
LOSES QUEER SUIT
A NORTH CAROLINA COURT DE.
cIDEs COMPANY MUST PAY
FOR LAND OCCUPIED BY
ITS POLES.

CHARLOTTE, n. c.. July 14-An hour
or so before the adjournment Of the state
supreme court few days ago there was
handed down a decision said by some TO
be Of more far-reaching consequence than
all the other cases disposed Of during the
term combined. The case, that OF Phillips
against the Postal Commercial Cable and
Telegraph company. escaped notice at the
time. as II was presumed that all cases
Of Importance had previously been dis
posed Of, and little attention was given
10 the records. The plaintiff, who resides
at Lexington. had brought action for
damages against the Postal company for
erecting poles on his property.
II will doubtless be recalled that the
Southern Railway company at one time
brought suit against the Postal company
to restrain the company from erecting
poles on the roads right of way. The tel
egraph company won. the decision being
generally regarded as a final disposition
OF the matter. However. Mr.. Phillips was
very much opposed TO the idea OF having
poles placed on his property. with the con-
sequence that he sought legal advice. The
result was that the attorney appealed TO
advised the bringing Of the action in ques-
ton. The court held that Mr.. Phillips was
entitled TO Sc for every pole placed on
his land, as the law Of eminent domain
was applicable. 81.
Judge Douglas. who handed down the
decision. was yesterday questioned with
relation 10 the matter. but did not have a
copy OF the decision with him from which
70 make extracts. Nevertheless. 1t may be
briefly stated that IL was held that the law
must provide a just compensation in such
cases and an adequate method of obtain
ing that compensation. and in the event
the law fails TO do this the plaintiff must
have a common law remedy.

Miss Georgiana j. Mossey, of No. 129
Lake street. St Adams, VT, Is a bright,
healthy young woman and from her APP
pearance one would never think she had
ever been sick for day in her life. But
there was time, a few years ago, when
she was very low, when physicians treat
ed her without avail and hope for recov-

was cured and now tells how in the fol-
lowing words:
''Overworlx," she says, was the cause
Of my illness. My system became all run

appetite failed me, I became pale and
sickly with no color at all in my face. l

ceived no benefit. Then went to Mon

returned My friends noticed the change
at once and asked me who was my doc

Pink Pills for Pale People were doing all
this.
Altogether took u boxes and by
that time 1 was a strong and healthy girl
again.
when 1 went to the store here to buy
a supply of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

clerk told me / could buy them cheaper
in bulk than in the package. But l re-

HEAVY RAINS MAKE
GEORGIA CROPS GOOD

The weekly crop bulletin, issued at the
Atlanta office by Section Director j. B.
Marbury, says that nearly all of the
Georgia crops have been greatly aided by
the recent rains and are in good shape.
The general report of the Georgia crops
is as follows:
The week opened with continuation Of
the high temperature and dry weather
which characterized the previous week.
The day tempera lures exceeded 100 de-
grees at many points. and the parching
sun was extremely unfavorable to the
staple crops. During the closing days OF
the week the temperature became decid-
edly cooler, and general showers occurred.
The rainfall was copious over large part
of the state, and was Of almost inestim-
able benefit to crops. AS a rule. early
corn on uplands was beyond recovery, and
the outlook for this crop is generally poor
On the other hand, corn on low lands is in
excellent condition, having received sur
ficient moisture without the damaging
effects Of overfiows. Cotton made little
growth during the drouth, but the plants
are healthy and well filled with blooms
and bolls. The crop in general is now In
a good growing state and has been well
cultivated. Shedding, rusting and bloom
ing to top are prevalent in scattered To-
calities, but complaints of this nature are
not as numerous as usual, and lice nave
almost completely disappeared. Some cor
respondents regard the crop as the best
known IN several years. The melon season
is practically closed in the southern sec
tions i'm the northern counties this crop
has been rendered inferior by the drouth
Late peaches continue to rot and she'd
and the crop is below the average in quail
ity and quantity, except in Macon and
Houston counties, from which sections
large shipments are being made. Garden
truck suffered severely from the dry
weather Irish potatoes are largely
failure; sugar cane is fair to good.

long-felt want with farmers, planters and
cattlemen I'm all parts of the country, till
the perfection Of the woven steel fence
known as the Ellwood Steel Wire Fence

No CONFLICT
IN CREEDS
IN CUBA
CHURCH AND STATE HAS NO
FRICTION AND GREAT PRO-
GRESS IS BEING MADE ON
THE ISLAND.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Dr. Charles W.
Drees, superintendent of the Porto Rico
mission Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, is In New York consulting with
the officials of the missionary society
about the work of his denomination in
that island. His object in visiting the
United States is to raise $50, 00O This fund
will be applied exclusively to the schools
and mission stations in Porto Rico.
Speaking Of religious conditions in gen.
eral in the island DR.. Drees said:
Fortunately we have no complications
like those that have arisen in the Phil
ippines over the lands Of the friars. Long
before the United States acquired SOW
ereignty over Porto Rico the Spanish gov
eminent had taken over nearly all of the
property belonging to he.monastic orders.
Therefore, when the United States took
the place of Spain there was no serious
land question TO adjust.
THE Congregationalists. Presbyterians,
Bethelists, Protestant Episcopalians, Unit
ed Brethren and Methodists have establish
ed stations. While we have not organ
lied and formed a sharp division of ter
ritory like the mission workers have in
the Philippines, we have a general I'M
derstanding that we will not conflict or
duplicate work. All give attention to
education and evangelization.
I'VE have started Washington college
ana the mckinley free schools at san
Juan. The first has been doing good work
in the kindergarten, primary, intermedi-
ate, college preparatory and normal de-
partments and will do much better when
we get the new buildings which we need.
The attendance is a mixture of Porto
Ricans and English. The Mckinley school
is entirely Spanish and is attended by
children unable to dress well enough to
go to the college. We furnish books and
all appliances. Industrial training will be
given to the boys at Arribo. The natives
are responsive to our advances"
DR.. Drees has had charge of the Span
ish missions of the Methodist church for
the last rs years. He is a native Of
Xenia, Ohio.
