The Springdale news., 1907-10-11

A number oi springdae people have received notice from the county clerk Of an increase in their tax assessment. and people in other portions of the county nave received similar notice. The News does not doubt but what in great ma ioritv of cases the increase was entirely right and prop CT, and the county judge will sadly fail in his duty fl lie does not make thorough investiga- ton before he overrules tile equalization board and lowers the assessment. When 1t comes to giv ing in his taxes the average citizen has very elastic eonscence and he can hardly be blamed, either. When he knows his neighbor is assessing his property at about one-tourth it's actual value, a has to be considerable of patriot who will walk up and assess his property at anything near its real worth However, If all would give in their property they should, the valuations would be so increased that the tax rate could be lowered and no would pay any more taxes than they do now. and It would make much bet ter showing for the country.

A deplorable condition of affairs exist over

deplorabe condition of affairs exist over at Gentry in Benton county If the local pastor ot the Baptist Church at that place speaks the truth and the natural inference iS that he does. In a card published in the local paper he says that his life has been threatened number of times and that he has been siandered and mis- treated, all doubtless intended to force him to leave the town. He says that his predecessor was driven from the town by the tactics. The town seems to be infested by bltnd tigers. and the owners of these joints appear to have number of sympathzers and the pastor has been making d vigorous war on this element 1t k presumed the attack comes from them. ltls certainly time for the decent and iawabidIng cit izens of Gentry to assert themselves They should rally to the support of the man who has the courage to stand up against this awlessness, and if the civil officers won't aid them III their work then they should be turned out of office and men put in who will. IL is stigma aud disgrace that Gentry cannot afford to live under, and the sooner the evil k eradicated the better.

1t Is fact of common observation
that not all persons are alike In their
power to resist disease. For example,
when typhoid fever or pneumonia is
prevalent, only few, as compared
with the total population, acquire the
disease, although all may be living uu-
der the same conditions and be equally
exposed to the infection. Physicians
say, In general terms, that those who
escape have greater resisting power,
which means that they have some pow
er within them to destroy the germs
that get into the body, and so to pre-
vent their multiplication and the man.
ufacture by them Of the poisons which
cause the LESSONS and symptoms of the
disease.
For long time 1t was unknown how
the system was enabled to destroy the
microbes Of disease or to neutralize
their effects. A solution of the prob
lem was, however, recognized as essen
tial If physicians were ever going to
be able to treat infectious diseases in
the only rational way-that is to say,
by destroying the cause; or TO prevent
with certainty their occurrence in
those who have been exposed to the in
fection. Psychologists all over the
world devoted themselves with great
assiduity to the study Of this problem,
with the result that they are now be-
ginning to understand the subject, al
though there are still obscure points
which must be cleared up before the
fulfillment of Pasteurs prophecy that
the time will come when 1t will be pos
sible to exterminate all infectious dis
cases.
There are two theories regarding the
way in which the body resists an In
vasion of the bacteria of disease-the
chemical, advanced by Ehrlich, a Ger
man bacteriologlst, and the mechanical,
discovered by the Russian scientist,
Metchnikoff, now at the Pasteur in.
stitute in Paris.
According to the first, when the spe-
cial poison elaborated by the bacteria
gets into the blood, this fluid at once
begins to manufacture another sub
stance which acts as an antidote, conf
bining with the toxin and forming an
inert, non-poisonous substance. The
discovery of the antitoxin used in the
treatment of diphtheria was the result
of this theory
The second theory Is that certain
cells, among which are some Of the
white blood-corpuscles, acts as an army
Of defense, seizing upon the bacteria
and destroying them.
These two theories are not really
contradictory, although they seem so,
and both processes are probably at
work in every case Of successful re-
sistance to an attack Of infectious dis
ease. Recently it has been found that
the white blood-corpuscles, called pha-
gocytes or "eating cells" need assist
| ance to enable them to destroy the bac-
| terra, and on this discovery Is founded
the opsonin theory, which will be dis
cussed in future article.-Youth's
| Companion.

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Bad<ache and
Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad-
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted au hority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case Of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A we'll known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to do
30. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte affections with splendid results.
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most i'm
pcrtant organs and helping them TO sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial

A BIG JOB.

The Columbia State is inclined to
be hard on the new young Congress
man from the Savannah district. who
has laid out for himself program and
a task that rather excites our won
der that any man should seriously be-
lieve in it. Mr.. Edwards, the Con-
gresham aforesaid, will be a wiser
and a sadder man after he has expe-
rienced what will come to him when
he tries to carry through his policies.
However. we will let The State speak
as follows:
The South, after all these years of
humiliation and disgrace is going to
have at least one representative in the
Sixtieth Congress and her voice Is 60
ing to be heard. 1t is announced from
Savannah that the Hon. Charles G. Ed
Georgia District in the Sixtieth Con-
gress a tall handsome young man with
fforid checks and blond hair, moreover,
with statesmanlfke brow, and such
a voice as Calypso might have envied-
that is, if Calypso was the other fellow
who had voice. Well. not to parleY
further trying to write an introduction
BETTING the great occasion, the Hon.
. Charles G. Edwards has conceived the
idea, and has taken steps to put it into
Immediate effect. that there shall be
no more negroes holding Federal office
IN the United States. He says so him
self: he makes the announcement in
speeches and interviews which are
heralded not only throughout the first
district of Georgia. but are forthwith
autographed all over the country with
betting dispatch
So far as the question involved is
concerned, there is no question what
ever Granting, for the sake of argu-
ment, as no doubt many can be found
not only in Georgia, but throughout the
whole of the South. who will grant ii
for the sake of argument or for the
sake of anything else. that no negroes
ought to hold office, either State or
National. we would like to hear further
particulars of how Mr.. Edwards is GO
Ing to prevent it. That he will be able
TO do so, there is, of course, no doubt
He will make a speech in Congress for
one thing If. by any mischance. any
concatenation of adverse circum-
stances If peradventure.- when he
makes this eleetrifying speech there
should be only some half a dozen mem
bers present. there are no doubt other
resources hidden somewhere beneath
the fiorid complexion of the young
Georgian. Such enthusiasm such re-
sourcefulness and originality. such con
spicuous patriotism which gives over
all to self sacrificing services to his
country, is worthy of all respect and
of all admiration.

The injustice OF allowing convicts
only half or wo-thirds of the amount

the number OF days they must serve
for costs, was pointed out under con-
tracts that no State ofhcer classed as
""splendid." and II is more apparent in
the contracts made during the past
week by the Convict Board. II one of
the convicts sent to the Henderson
lumber camps Is charged with $40

30-cents a-day credit, the convict will
have to work sixty-six days In salts

days labor the State will receive $3.50.
or very nearly four times the amount
of the costs. AS long as this condition
exists there IL no satisfaction In read
Ing that the State exercises general
supervision over the convicts" and that
they are protected from cruel treat
ment. The cruel treatment here is not
on the part of the contractors, 1t Is In
the law of the State, which exacts from
one of its unfortunates $3.50 in pay
ment of a debt of $50.
We hope that the Legislature of Ala
bama will take cognizance Of this in
justice at its forthcoming session, and
IL 1t cannot entirely abolish the leasing
system at this session, at least make
the law as to costs plain and give the
oonvicts the benefit of what they earn
