ECONOMY CAUSES DISMISSAL
CENTRAL RAILROAD REDUCING
NUMBER OF IT'S EMPLOYEES.

Clerical Forces Were Cut All Along
the Line, and Now the Train
Auditors Are Laid Off.
The Central railroad is retrench-
ing by reducing the number of its
employees.
At the beginning of the year the
clerical forces at all stations of i'm
portance were reduced, and in carry
ing out this policy of retrenchment
one man was laid off in Dawson.
On January 18th eight of the cleri-
cal force in the comptrolleris office
were cut off, and also two travelling
auditors.
Now it is announced that the six
train auditors, or ticket collectors,
which were put on the through
trains of the Central, running be-
tween Savannah and Atlanta, about
the first of July 1907 have been
taken off, and in the future the con-
ductors of the trains will have to
look out for the handling of the
passengers and the collection of fares
duu IlChSIS.
These men, says Mr.. w. D. Bey-
mer, the comptroller, were taken off
simply on account of the decrease in
the passenger earnings of the road.
Ever since the reduced rates have
gone into effect on the Central the
earnings have fallen off. During the
first week in January they fell near
ly twenty-five per cent. January and
February are two of the dullest
months of the year with regard to
passenger traffic.
Mr.. Beymer says that both the
passenger and freight earnings have
decreased lately, and that it became
necessary to reduce expenses some
where, and that it was only natural
that these new ticket collectors
should be the first to go, as they had
| been added the more recently.
When these collectors were put on
| the runs it was largely experimental.
and the passenger traffic of the Cen
trail is heaviest in the month of July
and demanded this increase of men
to assist the conductors with their
| work When the earnings began to
decrease it became necessary to re-
duce expenses in this manner.

The only political offices Mr., Mas
worthy ever held were those of al
derman and mayor of Dawson. He
was elected to the latter place in De-
cember, 1906, and had just entered
upon his second years service. He
discharged his official duties with
conscientious regard for the public
welfare, and gave the city safe and
economical administration.
In 1889 Mr.. Nasworthy was mar

the board of stewards of the Meth
odist church and members of the
Masonic fraternity acted as honorary
escort, the fire department OF the
city, with the wagons draped IN
mourning, heading the funeral pro-
cession. At the conclusion of the SER
vices at the church the MasOns took
charge of the remains, and performed
the burial rites of their order at the
grave.
About 100 negro tenants from
Mr.. Nasworthys farms were present,
and at the request of Mrs. Nasworthy
seats were provided for them In the
church. They were also, at their
own request, given a place in the
line of honorary escorts.
During the funeral hours of from
three to five o'clock all of the busl-
ness houses of the city were closed
as a mark of esteem and respect for
the dead official.
Mr.. Nasworthy's health had not
been good in three or four months,
hut it was not until within the past
few weeks that his family and
friends became alarmed concerning
his condition. 1t was ascertained that
he had an affection of the kidneys,
and his decline was rapid. His last APP
pearance down town, except to rae
through the streets about two weeks
ago, was to preside at meeting OF
the city council on the night OF De
cember 10Th, when the new members
of that body were sworn in and new
organization of the city government
perfected by the election of officers
and appointment of the standing COM
mittees. He was from then confined to
his bed the greater part of the time
until Sunday night week ago, When
he was stricken with paralysis and
gradually sank until the end came.
Mr.. Nasworthy was 40 years OF
age, and a native, of Jefferson coun-
", this state. In 1886 he married
Miss Jennie Stevens, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. .. b:
stevens, and became a citizen OF
Dawson, and from that time was
identified with the city and Ierrell
county. For some years he was en-

Nature intended the teeth to be
sound and intact in both sexes at the
age of so years, and this can actual
ly be achieved by following simple
rules of mouth hygiene.
Considerable time and money are
expended each year in devising prop
err ventilation for rooms in which the
public is gathered, especially school
rooms, recognizing the Importance of
keeping the air in room in which
children are gathered as pure as pos
sible. But, strangely enough, au-
thorities are overlooking the import
ant fact that the pestiferous odors
issuing from neglected mouths are
rendering the problem of ventilation
almost impossible of solution. DE-

OF THIS EVIL.

motive let me advise: have the work

Good health demands thorough dl-
gestion; thorough digestion demands
thorough mastication, and thorough
mastication demands sound and
healthy teeth.
The oral cavity is the gateway
leading to the entire bodX and
through this gate many infections
or contagious diseases seek entrance.
If the latch string hangs on the out
side they will certainly enter. Dis
eases are now recognized to have
their origin in minute vegetable or
ganisms known as bacteria, and the
mouth at it's best is an ideal lncu-
bator for their development. When
the public learn to give their teeth
the attention that is required of
them there will be one-half to three
fourths less work for the physician,
as most of the ailments of man are
caused from mouth infection.

''The stomach may be compared

Nature gave us an excellent stove
when it gave the stomach, and it

grade coal, but if the axe which
chops the coal fails in its duty the
fire is soon extinguished. To main

ground by the teeth, and not mingled

as tartar, pus from assesses and

Red VS. White Meat.

There used to be a general notion
that red and white meats differed
considerably, in their food value.
Then in 1899, two experimenters,
Offer and Rosenquist, announced
that such meats really differed little
from one another in their chemical
effects upon the body, the implica-
ton being that the choice of one
rather than the other in certain di-
seases had no justification In science.
Now, according to the Medical Rec
ord, further researches disclose the
fact that while such meats are
very much alike in the raw state,
cooking alters this similarity In a
striking way. The sO-called extTac-
tions of the white meat are lost to a
far greater degree during cooking
than in the case of red meats. The
empiric conclusions of the older diet
arians are, therefore, proved correct
by a further extension of expert
ments which at first seemed to dis
prove them.

are made b. him in the margins to
illustrate the meaning of what he
desires to convey and the letters
sometimes present remarkable APP
pearance for this reason. In view
of the fact that he is head of both
army and navy of the empire, great
number of his letters are written to
leading generals and admirals, and
some of his criticisms are extremely
stinging and incisive.
He, however, does not confine him
self to naval and military affairs, but
Cffers suggestions 10 architects,
sculptcrs. painters and engineers en-
gagged on public work, and does not
hesitate to ask the opinion OF promi-
nent men on an -dea which he de-
sires to evolve. Many a public
monument for which others have OBJ
tanned credit has been based on ideas
thus formulated by the Emperor. He
has even suggested improvements in
the mechanical parts of automobiles.
Sometimes, after reading a newly
published book, he will send 1t
crammed with marginal notes to an
acquaintance, at the same time point
ing out by letter how he considers
the work might have been improved.
1t is said that should a collection OF
the EmperOrs letters be made, they
will offer a better and more striking
picture of his character than has
ever yet been conceived, showing his
immense thirst for knowledge and
desire to incite others to carry out
ideas which he himself. by reason
of his position, has no opportunity to
achieve.-ToTCnto Globe.

FIeas. Rats and the Bubonjc,

1t has long been known that rats
are an important cause Of the spread
of plague, but more recent re-
searches seem to indicate that deas
serve as an intermediate link in con-
veying the disease from rats to men.
According to the observations and
conclusions of Simond, infection of
plague from one human being to an
other takes place, but in an insig-
nificant number of places compared
with those where fieas carry the IN
lection from rat to man. The re-
cent experiments of the plague com
mission at Bombay have established
the fact that fieas convey the plague
from infected to healthy rats, and it
has also been shown that the species
of flea concerned is always found in
plague-infected houses. Medical
science therefore declares war upon
fieas as upon mosquitoes, and the
mystery of epidemics is proportion
ally cleared up. Yet much remains
to be learned.-Youths Companion.
