Heise1 hat the American heahh officials
have doIe wonders in coping with Iep-
rosy in the Philippines. AT the begin

years ago there were in the islands, &C
cording to the best records obtainable,
between $500 and 1900 K, ers. DIT.
Heiser says there were never ans
grounds for the wild estimates ranging
from 1000 to 10000 which were given
circulation in the early days or the
American regime.
In the Spanish times, some attempt
was made to segregate the worst cases.
This was done chiefly by the church
authorities. But nothing systematic
was done until the Americans perfected
the establishment for lepers on the Is
land Of Culion in 1906.

(From Rome Tribune.)

Gordon Lee, of the county of
Walker, aud member of the 59th,
Goth and 61st congress, represents
the Seventh Congressional Dis
trlct. This is one of the biggest
and best in the state, with popu-
latlon of 1917, 612, aud comprising
IL counties.
Mr.. Lee was born May Goth,
1859, on farm near Ringgold, in
Catoosa county. He received his
early education in the county
schools, and graduated from EN-
DRY College in 1880. He is a
farmer and manufacturer, with
large interests in those lines in
and around his home, Chicka.
manga. He served as a member of
the House of Representatives of
Georgia in 1894 and 1895. He
represented his district in the
state senate in 1902, 1908 and
1904. He was elected to the 59th
congress, and reelected, without
opposition, to the Goth and 61st.
He succeeded Hon. John w.
Maddox, and his services have
been most satisfactory to his COLI
stltuents. Mr.. Lee is known as
Georgia 8 working congressman. ;"
AS result, the Seventh now has
a perfect network of rural routes,
extending from every county site
and important town. He has Sc
cured Federal buildings for Rome,
Dalton, Cedartown, Cartersville.
Marietta, and other important cit
les in his district. He has secured
many miles of government roads
along the line of march and
through the battlefields of the ar
mics in the war between the states.
He has the Coosa river placed on
the list of those who permanently
receive appropriation from the
government. In fact, along every
line of endeavor, he has been alert
for the interests of his district.
Congressman Lee is interested
in number of important projects
for the future. He Is about TO Sc.

cure the enlargement of the Ma
tlonal Park at Chickamauga. He
Is working for a government post
road to extend from Chattanooga
to Atlanta. His endeavors are also
continually exerted to secure the
opening of the Coosa river to navi-
CATION, and he has made special
study OF waterway improvements Is.
AS matter of course, these &C.
tlvlties have not been unnoticed or
unsppreciated by his constituents.
Large numbers of them feel that
ne Is the ablest congressman the
district has ever had, and declare
that no one else can fill his place,
when any mention of retirement is
made.
That these sentiments are not
confined to Georgia was recently
shown in striking way. A party
of leading congressman recently
visited Rome, at the time of the
Manufacturers and Merchants an.
nual banquet. The party included
Congressman Ta~ney of Minnesota,
Lawrence of Massachusetts,, Bur-
nett of Alabama and Moon of Ten
nessee. Without exception, they
paid high tribute to the charac-
ter, ability and attachments of
Mr.. Lee. They declared that it
would be the greatest folly to re-
place him with another man.
who, however able, could not
hope for many years to attain the
commanding position at present
held by Mr.. Lee. No other man,
said they, could hope to accom-
pllsh as much for the development
of the Coosa, and for the interests
OF the whole district, as the present
congressman.
Without regard to factional af-
filiations, there are many men in
all walks of life, farmers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, and 9TH
ers, who are firm friends of Mr..
Lee, and who are ready to support
him for congressman, governor,
senator, or any other office within
their gift.
