After considering the evidence a1d
the instructions of the court as to
the law in the Nose Lewis murder
case for fifty-two hours, the jury re-
ported at three o'clock tais afternoon
that they We're hopelessly hung"
and Judge VIM. H. Pope dismissed
them. This will call for another trial,
and it is hardly probable that it can
be held this term
Two previous reports had been
brought il by the jury that they were
hung, but Judge Pope sent them out
verdict. The second time he question
ed all the jurymen as to whether they
could not find a verdict. The report
of all but one was that it was hope
less. That was at two o'clock, and at
three the report that nothing could
be done was brought in. 1t is under
stood that from the first ballot until
within an hour before the final re-
port, the jury stood ten for convic-
ton of first degree murder and two
eleven for conviction, one being for
acquittal and one of the eleven for a
lesser degree of murder
The court accepted several pleas
of guilty today, completing the Grim
inal docket with the exception of the
cases against NJ. E. Cook and r. E.
Doris on the charge of stealing coal
at Boaz. Since Wednesday afternoon
he court has been occupied with the
trial of the suit of ]. D. Render ag-
ainst A. J. Wittema1, in which the
plaintiff seeks judgment for about

The following pleas of guilty We're
received today: Ira Lee. for assault
with a deadly weapon; Carl Leopold.

THE PREVENTION OF

TYPHOID FEVER.
Editor Record Roswell has mad
a rather severe epidemic of typhoid
fever this summer, and, undoubtedly,
the germs are remaining, which will
produce another epidemic next sum-
mer. Typhoid is about the least nee
essary of any of the diseases to which
man is subject The disease is caus-
ed by a minute micro-organism, which
belongs to the same family as the
toadstools and mushrooms. The only
place where this micro-organism is
to be found is in the discharges from
the patient In order to get it, the
next individual must eat or drink
something containing these microbes
If the discharges from the patient
are thoroughly sterilized, and by that
is meant that the microbes are all
killed and the discharges buried. there
is no possibility of that patient trans
mftting the disease to anyone else
In this country. where our water
IS artesian and comes from three or
four hundred feet underneath the

ground and is absolutely pure, there
can he 10 possibility of infection by
the water. If there are no germ-la-
den discharges, which can by any
means get on the food we eat, there
will be no more typhoid fever. If 4
patient has typhoid fever, and these
discharges are destroyed by mixing
them with some antiseptic and the
whole thing is buried in the hack yard
a1d covered with dirt, so as to protect
it from the flies, the disease will not
spread. If, however, it is thrown upon
the ground or into the privies in the
back yard, the flies carry it into the
house and onto our dining tables and
walk across our food and leave the
microbes and they are eaten. If the
patient is susceptible to the disease,
there is a new case. This is probably
the only way that typhoid fever can
be transmitted from person to person
in Roswell. 1t is not very inviting to
think of eating food thus contamin-
ated, but the probabilities are that
many of us eat such food without get
ting the disease, where one does get
it.
There should be very heavy penal
ties for the carelessness in the dispo-
sal of this material. Going a little fur
ther, as a matter of self-protection.
the city should connect every house
with the sewers, SO that all night soil
could be washed down with the abun-
dance of water We have here and car
ried to some place where it would not
jeopardize the life and health of ev-
erybody. 1t is objected that the city
cannot afford to do this. Every case
of typhoid fever costs the family in
which it occurs not less than one hun
dred dollars. That is, the average eX-
pense, including doctors fees, drug
bills, nurse hire, represent an outlay
of not less than one hundred dollars.
Some cases may run under that, and
many go much over. The past year
there have been in Roswell about one
cases of typhoid fever At one
hundred dollars apiece that means a
tax on the city of $4,000. Three nave
died If each life is valued at $4,000, |
that would make an outlay of $4,000 |
which is wasted or worse than wasted. |
