NEW YORK AND THE PLAGUE
Has Been Diminished by
Science.

IL mattered not Wnetner the SuSp1-
cious cases of diseases on the 1ndrani
were due to bubonic plague or beri-beri,
there was no question as to what should
be done with the remaining crew when
this port was reached, says the New
York Herald. The alert health officer
was determined to take no chances Of
the development of either pest. Thus
with the first news of the arrival Of the
ship and the account of the sickness
aboard came the assurance that there
was no danger of the spread Of either
malady. II was a proof not only Of the
effectiveness of modern sanitation but
of the public confidence in the methods
adopted that no general alarm was oc-
casioned.
What would have produced positive
panic in times gone by is now viewed as
mere matter of passing interest which
does not in any way threaten the vel
fare of the community. Bubonic plague,
which was once dreaded as the most dis.
astrous of all disease inflictions, is now,
thanks to the recent advance in science
robbed of all its real terrors. There ,s
no longer mystery regarding its spread
nor anxiety concerning its prevention.
Even If plague cases should he brought
to our shores there would be no more
danger of the disease spreading than NJ
any other infectious malady. The con-
ditions of race. climate, diet and sani-
tary habits are. in this country at least,
entirely against the possibilities of en-
demic propagation.
This has been abundantly proved in
the history of the plague invasion of San
Francisco. The cases. few and far be-
tween, were confined to the Chinese In
Chinatown. Although the latter dis
trict is situated in the heart of great
city there has been no spread Of the pest
to the white population.
1t is a peculiarity with plague that
the malady has special prediction for
the yellow race. and II Is only in the
most severe epidemics in the east that
the white men are attacked. Climatic
and other insanitary influences have
very much to do in explaining such con-
ditions. which are exactly opposite to
those existing here.
II Is now well proven that plague is
due to an infectious microbe which at
tacks rats. heas and flies, and by means
Of the latter agencies finds its way into
the human system. Hence the whole.
sale destruction of the vermin in Ques-
ton is consids:ed one Of the most ef-
fective means Of eradicating the dis
ease. When proper precautions are
taken in such directions there is Just as
much certainty of preventing the spread
of the malady as Of stamping out small
pox pr arresting a typhoid fever cpl
demic.
Whatever, then, may be the future de-
velopments in the case Of the quaran-
tined crew of the Indrani, or of any other
vessel coming here under similar cir
the public need have no spe-
cial fear of plague Invasion in any shape
Modern methods Of prevention now
make 1t simply question of proper dis.
infection of ship, cargo and individual,
wholesale destruction of rats and abso-
lutte isolation Of the diseased victim. BY
such means we stamp out the disease as
effectually as we put out fire.

OUR GREAT INDUSTRY.

Hopkins county to the fore
again and always. 1t is in the
matter of industry of particular
kind that Hopkins county excels.
1t is the coal industry, the center
of which is at Darlington, and
which makes the entire people
beneficiaries of the producing
powers of the great collieries of
Hopkins county.
Today, as is the annual custom,
The BEE presents its readers with
the first figures concerning the
coal industry of the county for
the year 1904, and the figures are
heavy with proof of the import
ance to the county and the State
of these splendid producers and
distributors Of wealth.
The wages paid to labor are
good and constant, giving en-
ployment to some two thousand
men and youths and direct sup
port to about one-fourth of the
county's population.
In the face of a loss in the coun-
ty's output as compared with
1908, and the considerable gain in
output of the Southeastern dis
trict, Hopkins county maintains
its place as the producer of one
fourth of the entire coal output of
Kentucky.
Those who are actually in con.
tact with the business, and busi-
ness men generally, appreciate
these facts and know the value of
the million of dollars in wages paid
to labor annually and the large ad-
ditional local expenditures for
materials and supplies that must
be had for a mining operation and
which are always bought at home
if produced here.
There are others who are not so,
well informed. They have not
been to our mining towns and do
not know the prosperity that rules
generally in these towns. To
these we extend a cordial invita-
tion to visit Darlington and see
for themselves and be convinced
that the coal mines of Hopkins
county are worth far more to the
people of the county than any 9TH
er one industry or business known
TO our people.

was valuable one and we hope that
he will soon be well.

A rumor reached Nebo last week

the attraction was we cannot say, UNI
less it was the splendid fare at the
Rutherford house.

Proper Treatment of Pneumo nia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous di-
sease for anyone To attempt TO doc
tor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A
physician should always be called.
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of the
grip. and that by giving Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy the threaten
ed attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment
of pneumonia with the best results.
DR.. w. j. Smith, of Sanders, Ala,
who is also a druggist, says of it:
II have been selling Chamberlain 5

POLITICAL POINTS.

AS evidence of his good will
toward the South, President
Roosevelt has offered, through
Georgia congressman, to give a
good federal position to the
widow of Gen. John b. Gordon.
She is being considered for post
master at Atlanta.
John W. Langley, of Kentuc-
ky, discussing clerk of the cen
sus office. is understood to be in
line for more lucrative posi-
tion under the new administers
ton. He is said to be the first
man to propose Theodore Roose-
welt for Vice President, which
he did at the Philadelphia con-
vention of 1896. In his capacity
as a delegate he urged from the
start the political expediency of
placing the Rough Rider on the
ticket. While Mr.. Roosevelt did
not care for the Vice President
ial nomination then, he formed
a friendship for Mr.. Langley
that has not been broken.
