Supported by the Government.

In America even greater success has
attended his crusade A year or more
ago the government came to his sup
port. The agricultural department, aft
er thorough tests. gave out report
that agreed with all of Mr.. Straus' con-
tentions and urged the paSteurization
or boiling of milk in all cities, villages
and homes of the land. The warning
awakened the medical. profession, the
health boards and the public generally
TO the peril of impure milk. Since then
the work has been going forward more
rapidly. 1t takes long time to get the
great inert mass of humanity to NOV
ing-it has taken Mr.. Straus fifteen
years, and much yet remains to be
dOne-but, once started, it goes with its
own momentum This movement will
proceed with all the greater force be-
cause it will have behind it the love of
children. Once let mothers and fathers
thoroughly understand that impure
milk means the possible murder of
r. their little ones, and pasteurization will
be swiftly established from ocean to
ocean.
At the time the government gave out
its report on the subject it also impart-
ed formuIs for home pasteurization.
This 1 do not remember in detail, but
it will be supplied any one writing to
the agricultural department at Wash
ington and asking for the bulletin. AS
1 recall the formula it is to bring the
milk slowly and gently to the boil and
then let it as gradually cool. 1t should
be kept above a certain temperature
not the boiling point, however-for
some time. as that is necessary to kill
the germs. If allowed to boil too vio-
lently or too long, the life giving prop
critics in the milk are killed Better
than home pasteurization, however, is
the establishment of pasteurization
plants in all cities and villages of the
country
Nathan StrauS, the man who is chief
ly responsible for bringing this peril to
the attention of mankind, and not only
SO, but who has done more than any
other dozen men to remove the dan
ger, was born in Rhenish Bavaria in
1913. His father was Lazarus Straus,
VINO came to this country before the
war, going into business at Talbotton,
/ Ga. Mr.. Straus was pronounced
Union man, however, and secession
sentiment was so strong about him
that he was compelled to move to Co.
/ lumbus, Ga. In 1865 he again re-
J moved. this time to New York, where
he went into the crockery business I'M
der the name of L. Straus & Sons.
Nathan up to this time had been in
Lavant college, but now at the age of
seventeen went on the road for the
firm. In 1874 he took charge of the
] crockery department of his present
business house, few years later was
made member of the firm, and now,
with his brothers, controls majority
of the stock.

PASSES THROUGH NASH
WILLIE

Mr.. W. A. T. Watkins, of Chicago,
ILL.,, the Supreme Attorney for the
Negro Knights of Pythlas, was in the
city a few hours Monday en- route to
his home from Atlanta, Ga, where
he had been on official business.
1t could not be learned just what
was the specific nature of his mis-
sion, but it is the concensus of opin-
ion that he had been in consultation
with the leading Pythians of that
State relative to the lawsuit that is
pending there. The public is familiar
with the bitter fight that the white
Pythians are making against the
black, and are watching the outcome
With keen interest. The whites in
other Southern States are also await
ng, it is believed, the final decision
n the Georgia case. Already South
Carolina white Pythians are making
N effort to raise fund to fight the
blacks in the Palmetto State, and if
he case in Georgia goes against the
Order it is believed that the same
steps will be taken in every Southern
State. The Negroes are preparing
for a long and bitter fight. While
here Mr.. Watkins was the greater
portion of the time in conference with
Grand Attorney ]. T. Turner. He left

Gov. Patterson exercised executive
clemency Saturday in the case of G.
L. Sparkman, of White County. Spark
man was convicted in May, 1906, of
carrying a pistol. A fine of $50 was
imposed upon him, and the costs OF
the case were assessed against him
He was recommended as a fit subject
for executive clemency by numerous
citizens of White County. 1t was
shown that Sparkman was the rail
road agent at Bon Air, and the pisto'
he was carrying was purely for pro
lection. There were no aggravatin
circumstances in the case.

County. was relieved of a fine and
workhouse sentence. Gee was con
victed by the Criminal Court of Jack

SPORT
MISTAKE CORRECTED.

Mr.. Editor:
| rather consider it beneath me to
enter into a controversy relating sole
ly to the world of sports. But being
officially concerned, l beg the indul-
gence of the public to say that I am
absolutely dumbfounded to read in
the columns of your paper of last is
sue, from the pen of the gentleman
who umpired the game between Tur-
ner Normal College and Bradley
Academy teams here ON Thanksgiv-
ing Day, that the game was tie of
to 5.
There were probably 500 people
who witnessed the game, and saw
Turner defeat Bradley by a score of
10 to 5. The game ended pleasantly,
the result at no time controverted by
the opposing side; the visitors ban
quoted id all went merry as a mar
riage bell"
There was some "squabbling," as
is usually the case with the average
colored football or baseball team, at
certain stage of the game, but it
was satisfactorily adjusted. The
"squabbling" was not brought about
by Turner's team, either.
| think l have stated the facts in
the case, There is nothing in me
misstating facts in a matter of this
kind Our boys were entirely out
classed by Pearl, and were conse-
quently badly defeated. We took it
for our share. l think that is the
only way that clean football can be
conducted between schools.

Boxing.

Boxing.
Eastern sports are thinking awful |
things about that Burns-Johson tete-
a-tete, which is due to be pulled off in
Australia the latter part of this |
month
Some of them even go so far as to
say that the affair is prearranged.
Of course it's bit tough on the an
gelic Thomas to think of such things,
let alone connect his name with
them.
Johnson's name has been connected
with a crooked fight, the same as
Fitzsimmons'. the same as Cans, and
the same as Jack O'Brien's but Tom
my Burns-ah! How can they be so
cruel?
1t is true, however, that Tommy's
former manager, Mr.. Billy &c, of
Chicago, has letters from the angelic
one asking the manager to frame up
few fights for him. He wanted the
other fellow to put up $4,000 in the
hands of an outsider as a guarantee
that the affair would be won by
Burns.
1t is true that he faxed with Jack
O'Brien at Los Angeles, and then, at
the last moment, double-crossed Jawn,
but these things are likely to happen
to any one.
Probably Tommy was fooling or
didn't know the difference, as Fitz-
simmons said about the fake with Jim
Hall. We don't know the innermost
thoughts of the pure Burns. We can
surmise few things, though.
Jack Palmer, in England, declared
that Burns put up his (Palmer's) for
felt for the great go they had, and
also said other things about promises
to Tommy.
Eastern sports, Of course, remem.
Der these, and then, when they hear
of Burns actually agreeing to fight
Johnson, after running away from
him all over the world, they can't
think of anything else but frame-up.
Burns said to the writer the day he
left for England that if a $4,000
purse was hung up he would fight
Johnson. Jim Coffroth offered that
money, but Burns refused to fight
When he was cornered in England
and roasted by the British press, he
declared that he would never fight
Johnson unless his end, win, lose Of
draw, was 100000. Still, he claimed
that he was the greatest fighter OF
top of the earth.
Johnson went to England, and Tom
my beat it to Australia. When h.
got that far away from the rest O
the world. somehow or other h
thought it was good time to fix VI
go with Johnson.
Burns has made some money on hi
tours, while Johnson has just made
wee bit more than he needed. NOV
Burns is the dictator. Will he do a
