HYDROPHOBIA Is RARE

Considerable alarm has been felt
in this section of Georgia on account
of reports of dogs afflicted with hy-
drophobia The fact that this is an
exceedingly rare disease is not gen
orally known. The great majority of
the cases of mad dogs, so called, have
no relation to hydrophObia If this
would be remembered during this
summer much needless alarm might
be avoided.
The New York Times thus reviews
the subject of mad dogs:
Owing to the rarity of hydrophobia,
many myths have gown up around
it. Indeed, what passes for common
knowledge of it is almost all false.
The mad dog does not frOth at the
mouth, he does not hate water, he is
no more a product of summer heat
than of winter cold, and he has no
inclination to bite except in blind
resentment of any interference with
the motiOnless hebetude which char
acterizes one phase of the malady
or with the impulse to constant and
purpOseless festation.
The dog that acts as rabid dogs are
popularity supposed to act can con-
fidently be held to be suffering from
some other and more common dis
ease. The symptoms that should most
quickly excite suspicion is a notable
and otherwise unexplained change in
the animals disposition, a calm
dog becoming eXcitable or a lively one
dull. In neither case is rabies prov
ed but in both the dg should be
carefully confined and watched, and
expert advice should be secured.
There is much misrepresentation,
too, as to the cause of hydrophobia in
dogs. There is but one-infection of
the blood through a wound inflicted
by a dog suffering from the disease
Whether a dog is fed we'll or i'll, too
much or too little, has nothing to do
with the matter directly; neither has
abuse nor lack of a home.
The stray StarVeling is more dan
gerOus than the valued canine friend
only because he is more in the way
of infection and because tn early
stages of his illness receive no at
tention. This, however is quite
reason enough to warrant the des-
truction of all ownerless and uncon-
trolled dogs, for it will be noticed
that every outbreak of hydrophobia
about the beginning of which any
thing is known starts with the biting
of one or more dogs by dog from
nobody knows whereby precisely the
doy with which the dogs of a
neighborhooG are sure to pick quar-.
rels.

AND THE PRIMARY

Georgia populists are resenting the
efforts of Chairman Miller, of the
Democratic Executive Committee, TO
read them out of the June primary.
Chairman Holloway and Secretary
Bodenhamer have just issued an ad-
dress on the subject.
The recent letter of Chairman Mil
Ter to a Macon man is reprinted, in
which the position is taken that
man cannot vote in the primary who
exDects to vote the Republican or
Populist ticket in the November cleo
ton"
Over against this letter is quoted
an editorial from the Atlanta Journal
of April 8, 1906, as follows:
I'VE have no patience with the silly
rot which the ring candidate and ms
newspaper so strenuously advocated
for a time, and which they are now
seeking. to abandon, to-wit: That any
one whose right to vote is challenged
should pledge himself to future loyal
ty to the party. Such nonsense has
no place in proper party regulations.
In declaring the course the Popu-
lists will pursue in the approaching
primary, the address says:
But the populists of Georgia, so
called-they are as good democrats as
can be found throughout the country
were not disturbed two years ago,
nor will they be now They exercis-
ed their right of franchise then, and
they propose to do so again, and to
support the nominees of the primary,
whoever they may be. They do not
propose to be disfranchised by the
governor and his autocratic ring for
no other reason than that they are
now opposed to his rule-or-run poll
cies because they realize the mistake
they made in becoming unwittingly the
tools of his deception two years ago.
In other words, they reserve the right
to vote for Tom Watson for presi-
dent in November, and neither Judge
Miller, Hooper Alexander nor any
other machine boss can prevent them
from so doing by trying to drive them
out of the state primary.
This is a white primary, and moth
ing that Chairman Miller and his CO.
terie can say or do can make anything
else of it. The populists of Georgia
are going to vote against the crowd
that has betrayed them, and nothing
can stop them. At the same time
they will vote in the full understand
ing and purpose to support the prim-
airy nominees.

The Chief Force in the Campaign
Savannah Morning News

The thing that is helping Mr..
Brown more than anything else in
his campaign for the gubernatorial
times and the belief that in some way
a change in the office of Governor
would contribute greatly to the res
toration of prosperity That this is
true is evident from the fact that he
was really pushed into the position of
a candidate He had no intention of
entering the contest until he was
urged to do so from practically all
parts of the state and by representa-
tives of all classes.
There is widespread belief that
the real cause of the panic was
lack of confidence in the continuance
OF conditions on which prosperity
was based. No doubt policies of GER
tain state administrations, and to
some extent the policies of the nat
tional administration, had much to do
with the weakening of confidence
Property representing a big percen-
tage of the wealth of the nation was
being attacked, and this wealth was
threatened with a tremendous shrink
age. Consequently the holders of
this wealth became alarmed and the
pOssessors of other kinds of wealth
gradually began to share their APP
prehensions of financial and indus
trial trouble. There was no failure
of crops or any other great disaster
to produce. a panic. Hence the trou-
BILE, it is argued, was largely due to

a mental condition
The National Prosperity Associa-
ton, that had its origin in St Louis
some weeks ago is acting on the
theory that as prosperity was driven
out of the country by the lack of
confidence it can be brought back
by the restoration of confidence 1t
has, therefore, set June / as the date
on which there shall be a concerted
movement for the restoration of pros
perity, If the people and the cor
pOrations, the association holds, viii
then begin conducting their business
affairs just as if there had been no
panic it will be discovered that
good times are at hand again What
is wanted, it is claimed, is optimism
instead of pessimism With that
change in the mental condition Of
the people there would be prosperity
right away
The supporters of Mr. Brown or
at least a big per centage Of them,
believe that his success is just the
thing that is needed to bring about
the change in the mental condition
of the people of this state that is
necessary to the coming of good times
They would act as they would feel
and that would mean good times
There is no doubt that there are
thousands of those who are active in
the state campaign who feel this way.
If the truth could be found out it
would be discovered, in all prObab-
ility, that this feeling is the strong
est force on the Brown side in the
gubernatOrial contest OF course
other issues than this one of pros
perity are talked about In fact other
issues are much more talked about
by the campaign speakers, but the
one that is really influencing the
people is that Of prosperity. 1t is
the one that touches the pocket
nerve.
