Marriage and Consumption.
philadelphia Press. }

When DR.. James C. Wilson, of Jeffer-
son Medical College, told the sixty-five
State medical inspectors that marriage
should be forbidden to those suffering
from tuberculosis because it was in
fectious, he advanced a view novel to
many and apparently radical
But five States in the Union. one of
them Michigan, have already passed
laws requiring that every marriage IL
cense shall carry the certificate of a
practicing physician in regard to each
party that he or she is free from any
contagious or infectious malady. If this
can be done in FIVE States it can in all.
Having done good work there, it ought
TO be extended.
The last Harrisburg Legislature had
such measure before it and it was IA
vorably reported. Next winter it ought
to pass. 1t will pass if all the agencies
awake to the perils of contagious and
infectious disease. the State and local
health boards, the anti-tuberculosis so
cieties and leagues and other societies
fighting infection in every form, unite
to secure its passage
If consumption were incurable this
would be hardship, but it is not. So
ciety has right to ask of those with
this malady, or afflicted with any other
contagious or infectious disease, that
cure shall remove the peril to society
and to children before marriage is per-
mitted on license issued by the State.
Such policy has ceased to be an ex-
pertinent when it has been for a num-
Der of years in operation in five States.

 A round-trip rate of one and one-half fares, plus 90 cents, has been arranged from points in Georgia. Florida, Ala bama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louis- jana east of the Mississippi river.
 The Jacksonville Board of Trade adopt ed the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the Jacksonville Board of Trade apply for membership in the Gulf Coast Inland Waterway association
 Resolved, That the Jacksonville Board of Trade send three delegates to the con
 vention of the Gulf Coast Inland Wa
 terway association to be held in Colum bus, Ga November and 10, 1908.
 Resolved, That five members of the Jacksonville Board of Trade be consti- tuted a committee to be known as the gulf coast inland waterway committee of this board, whose duty it shall be to fos-
 ter the interests of the waterway asso- citation and to affiliate the interests of Jacksonville and other peninsula towns herewith having full charge of all mat ters pertaining thereto"
 And the Times Union comments edi- torially:
 .Convincing figures and arguments were those of Secretary Henderson of the Apa- lachicola Board of Trade in urging upon the Jacksonville Board of Trade the i'm portance of the project to construct an inland waterway from the Mississippi river east along the gulf coast to connect with a canal across the peninsula of
 Florida. He was addressing an organiza- 1 tion which can hardly be said to have q i peer anywhere in the south for energy and those qualities which command sue cess. The action of the board in taking
 membership in the Gulf Coast Inland Wa terway association will be followed by en-
 thusastic action in furtherance of plans | which mean much for Jacksonville, the state, the entire gulf coast and ultimate ly for the whole country when inland ! waterways shall be established from the Great Lakes by means of the Mississippi with the Atlantic and northward to New England This is one of the greatest American movements of the age. When the lower Mississippi has been connected with the Atlantic at the mouth of the St | Johns, the benefits to be derived from l 1t by the entire valley of that great river
 will be beyond calculation"

 The facts in the situation are such that settlement should be made by the rail roads and the shippers as business people on a business basis but unfortunately some of the railroads have apparently made up their minds that through the courts and on technical pleas they can force a continuance of Alabama unjust parties and at the same time force in- creased charges.
 For the present we are compelled therefore, to argue our contentious in the courts and there endeavor to show the injustice of our situation.

When first gave notice to the world early in July that had invented and ready to put on the market sue cessul practical Cotton Picking machine was imme- diately overwhelmed with storm of letters not only from the United States, but from quarter o the globe interested in the production of cotton
 From that day to this have been literally buried m mail Hundreds of people have called at my factory to look at this machine The majority of these visitors have been who have devoted their lives to raising and marketing cotton They have in every ease, without solitary exception pronounced the Vacuum Cotton Pick ing Machine absolute success. have sold many ma chimes, and the prospective orders make 1t absolutely necessary to extend my factory facilities.
 The reason is plain After trying for century and al ways failing inventors had practically given up the idea of succeeding In making successful cotton picking machine It has been known that the who did finally conquer would accomplish for the world progress would do much for the cotton grower the harvester did for the wheat crop. The clumsy useless and cessfu machines which heretofore have been called cot pickers' have done anything towards solving this problem of quickly, ceanly and cheapy harvesting cotton.
 Having been born and brought up in the South my at tention many years ago called to the necessity of such machine and the possibilities should succeed. Therefore after ten wears of splendid success in building portable stationary and other housekeeping machinery,
 turned my attention to the cotton picking problem By the application of the principles of mechanics used m my other machinery and with my knowledge of Compressed Air and Vacuum have been able to do exactly what said had done when first announced my Vacuum Cot ton Picking Machine.
 The difficulty with the impossible machinery hereto fore called cotton pokes has been that they have been designed by either lacking in scientific mechanical knowledge who failed to understand the nature of the cotton product in the field It natural therefore, that cotton growers to be shown by actual dem onstration that my machine would do the work The tests given have absolutely demonstrated its perfect eff cheney It has proven that the statements made my first announcement that I will millions to the cot ton growers of the world and 1T have solved the ton-harvesting problem true
 The result has been compel to seek greater fac tory facilities could not at the present rate of facture fill the prospective orders in years there fore looking for site for plant which will cost in the neigborhood of 50000 and which must be erected

Defendants Say They Will Tell on Somebody Tel

Little Rock. Oct. 13. Not un- til yesterday was the notice of the $50, 900 libel suit filed by Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig against Revs. Jas. A. Anderson, A. C. Millar, P. R. Englebarger, and D. J. Weemt, served on the defendants, and they immedi- ately began upon their answer to the suit.
 Rev. E. A. Tabor, who is as- sociated with the defendants in their temperance wo'k, stated yesterday afternoon that this suit gave the temperance ele ment the forum it has sought for all along, and it will begin the uncovering of many political secrets, which have been denied the public. and which will show the important part taken in re- cent campaigns by the liqnor ele- ment, and will also show some telegrams which passed about the time of the selection of the election commissioners of the va rious counties, between a state official and a wholesale liquor dealer. In fact. it is stated that the passing of telegrams, if the ones desired can be secured, will play an important part in the case.
