THE PROniTION WAVE SOUTH
Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scoyell Tells Story
to a Popular Audience.

Last Sunday evening the NJ. E.
church was crowded to the limit by
a union service in which the three
downtown churches were all well |
represented. The young peoples
choir of the M. E. church, led by |
Mrs. Dubois, was the feature of the
song service, Revs. Dubois and |
Misunderstanding the devotional and
scripture reading features. The
speaker was introduced in an APP
propriate little speech by President
VanDolah of the local society.
Mrs. Scovell was at her best, de-
voting her time to giving an outline
description of her experience at the
recent national w. G. T. U. conven-
ton at Atlanta, Ga. The speaker
said that she found it impossible to
bring with her from the south the
spirit of enthusiasm which she found
everywhere manifested there. but it
must be admitted that she succeeded
in imparting considerable of this
enthusiasm to her audience before
she had finished her discourse.
Preliminary to her description OF
her southern experiences, Mrs. SEQ
veil explained the origin Of the forty
or more departments into which w.
CT. u. work has been divided, with
special reference to the department
of scientific temperance instruction.
patent medicine regulation, pure
food laws, etc. She gave soothing
syrups and Peruna considerable free
advertising, but, not of a kind to
help along the sales of those panaceas
The speaker made pretty clear
demonstration that soothing syrups
had either been the cause of death
or decentralization of health and ha
bits of many children, while Perun;
drunkards she thought were getting

COPPER PRObUCTION or ATLANTIC
COAST STATES

Four States on the Atlantic seaboard,
namely, Vermont, Massa chusetts. North
Carolina and Georgia produced in tho
aggregate Gl0,s29 pounds OF blister cope.
in 1906 the output Of each individual
state. except Vermont, being consider
ably in excess OF that of the preceding
year.
The great bulk Of the total came from
North Carolina, whose copper ores Yield
I'd $500 pounds of blister in 1906. as
against about 10000 pounds in 1906. A
large part OF this production was derived
from the lowgrade sliceous copper ore
mined at Gold Hill. in Rowan county.
which was shipped as converter lining
tc smclters in Tennessee and New Jer-
s"N. The North Carolina portion of the
Virginia district, in Person county, was
also productive and chalcocite- bornite
ore in quartz gangue was shipped both
in the crude state and as concentrates
Much Of this went to the West Norfolk
smoltor, whore it was transformed into
matte and then converted into blister
and refined copper at eiectrolytic re-
nncries.
Tho blister copper output of Georgia in
1906 was 17,lS2 pounds, almost double
that in 1895. The production was derived
chiefly from suphide ore of The seminole
mine, in Lincoln county, and from
cement" copper recovered from miro
waters by pumping out the Georgia and
Tennessee Copper conpany's mine in
HARRISON county. At the hrst-named
property small smelter made a little
matte The errirc output of the state
was converted into refined copper at
plants in New Jersey
Vermont ores yielded only 1854 pounds
Of blister copper in 1906 as against about
S-.o0o pounds in 1896. The mine produc-
ton Of the State was, however. reported
as 2io3l5 pounds. The great falling off
in Smcltcr production from that of 1903
and the difference between mine and
srclter production in 1906 is attributable
to the fact that a large part of the
cupriferoGs material mined in 1906 and
shipped to Atlantic coast works was
stored and not srnelted during the year.
A large part of the output was derived
from the old Pike Hill mine, in Orange
county. where, as at the Elizabeth mine.
magnetic concentration OF the heavy
pyrrhotitc ore was practiced.
The hlister-copper output of Massa-
chusctts. amounting to 9,7H pounds in
1906 as against 1.7oO pounds in 1908. was
derived chiefly from Charlemont, Frank
lin county. from cuprifcrous pyrite mines
by the Davis Sulphur Ore company and
smelted in New Jersey, and from matte
produced at the New England Mining
company's smelter and further treated
in New York works.
, The whole subject OF the production Of
copper in 1906 is treated systematically
and in detail by Mr.. L. c. Grafton,
gcoiogst, in an advance chapter from

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.
Progress Being Made in the Danish
mcnt of Disease.

Nfrofn iHe Cllcago Tribunc.)
The Punishment of disease is an at
tractivc theme. For generations peo-
PIE were trained to think that GER
tam percentage OF deaths must be ex-
pected from diphthcria, smallpox, CON
sumption, and other important factors
III making up mortuary tables. Now
they are being taught that there is =
chance OF the entire elimination of
these diseases. The development of
this idea that medicine is to prevent
disease rather than treat II when it
comes is one of tho most encouraging
things in modern life.
The challnoge to consumption has
been issued with nc uncertain sound.
smallpox Is being so well handled that
It's tcrrors have almost entirely disap-
pcared. The destructive effects of
other diseases are being limited more
and more with each passing year as
the casual conditions are discovered
and then removed.
Commissioner Evans statement a
bout diphthcria is right in line with
this general advance. 1t seems too
good to he believed that there is any
chance of doing away entirely with a
disease which has brought sorrow TO
so many homes. And yet, when that
which has been accomplished in other
directions is recalled. the prophecy
that diphtheria within ten years will
become as rare a malady as leprosy
does not seem so bold after all. II
what was counted perfectly normal in
the city's health in 1881 was regarded
with alarm as an epidemic condition
in 1907 there is at least room for en-
couragcmcnt.
The signs Of healthier race are
many. In hospitals and laboratories
earnest Investigators are attacking the
problems Of medical science with re-
ncwcd determination. Large endow-
mcnts have enabled these workers to
devote their time to the search for
causes Of disease without having to
stop to think to how to get their bread
and butter. one discovery after an
other has been announced until both
the physicians and the people have
felt the new inspiration of hope.
The emphasis is being placed upon
the carelessncss of the individual. Dis
ease and death 40 not come because
they must in accordance with the de-
crees of fate. They 20 largely due
to inattention to Simple rules which
any one may follow. That seems to
be the judgment of preventive medi-
cine. Its remarkable development dur
ing recent years has attracted the at
tention of the whole world. To holp
it along in its victorious career should
be the ambition of every one vino
loves his fellow men.

1t is. strange how estimates differ as

gists have studied the question for
years. but they do not agree in their

1900 years, u wonderful difference.

battle drill moro torpedo drill, and more
dcstroycrs with which to drill. The ire
mendous cost Of the navy yards should
bo reduced. The originators of designs
should not pass finally upon criticisms
Of those designs.
