MENINGITIS SERUM
GIVEN TO DOCTORS

Meningitis, that dread disease which
two years ago assumed the proportions
OF a mild epidemic in Atlanta, claim
ing 1926 victims within q few BRIEF
months, has been AIDED to the list OF
durable maladies by the invention or
a serum treatpent
This serum has been developed by
DR.. Simon FIexner, director OF the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, of New York city, and DR..
Flexner has chosen Atlanta as one OF
the few large American cities for the
demonstration of the serum's effective-
ness. he makes no claim for his dis
covery, but the records kept in cases
where it has been used show that the
mortality from meningitis has been re-
ducec from rs to % per cent.
Through the efforts OF DR.. Claude A
Smith, the city bacteriologist, DR..
fIexner has been induced to keep the
city of Atlanta supplied with the serum
free of all charge. The first shipment
arrived Wednesday morning at the Of
fices of the health department, and DR..
Smith at once sent out letters to all
Of the physicians in Atlanta advising
them that it could be secured for the
asking, the only condition imposed by
DIR. Flexner being that a careful record
of each case of meningitis ard cue eff
feet Of the serum be kept and for
warded to the Rockefeller Institute.

COTTON GAMBLERS ARE
FOUGHT BY FARMERS
BY Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Hearings on
the five bills, which aim to suppress
gambling in farm products, especially
grain and cotton, were begun today be-
fore the committee on agriculture OF the
house. Charles s. Barrett, president OF the
Farmers union; R. F. Duckworth, execu-
tive committee, and state officers from all
over the south were present.
The committee restricted the Initial
hearing to a statement by Representa-
tive Henry, author of the original bill.
The witnesses will be heard tomorrow.
Representative Henry defined the pur-
poses of the bill. He said 1t proposed 10
prevent exchanges from using the mails,
telegraph, telephones and other means or
interstate commerce and communication
In transmitting information relatives TO
gambling on futures IN farm products.
He claimed that the fictitious prices
quoted by these exchanges and the gam
bling incident to their operation have
depressing effect upon the prices Of the
product, and rob the farmer of his just
dues. He stated that the bill would not
interfere with legitimate business trans
actions, and declared that future con-
tracts, based upon an actual intention 10
deliver the goods, were not gambling.
It is recognized that the Henry bill has
no chance at this session Of congress, bus
the author and the Farmers union hopes
to sew seeds for future agitations which
they believe will result beneficially-

WON'T TELL
WHO'LL GET JOBS

That things are humming in state MILF
tia politics, whether they are being yet
considered by Governor-elect Brown or
not, is a truth too evident to need the
telling, II one mixes among the national
guardsmen of the states capital city.
The Journals exposure OF subterranean
hostilities, of Matching intrigues, of petit
tions being circulated and signed. several
days ago, has precipitated a general and
undissimulating stir on the uncovered
field of the struggle.
This matter is more important than
some folks think" said one of the prom
inent national gusrdsmen detailed in q
stan position, Wednesday morning.
There are a lot of things that ought
to be done. but that won't be done until
some indication comes from the next gov
ernor as to how his appointments will go.
Nobody wants to do work that Will throw
all it's discredit upon his. successor"
1t is well known, and was SO before
the fact was given general publicity, that
Governor-elect Brown is not bothering
himself about the appointments over
which the whole national guard of Geor-
gia is in a stew In fact, he Isl keeping
his counsel remarkably close, for repeat
ed attempts have been made to sound
him in one way and another by close
friends who are also interested in the
coming appointments; but all without sue
cess
Meanwhile the national guardsnen con-
tinue discussing the very lively question
Of probable appointments among them
selves, and probable or possible appoin-
tees continue voicing their own assurance
that everything is settled" whereas
nothing has yet been settled at all.

FUGITIVE'S LOVE FOR
HIS w 9E MAKES
HIM SURRENDER

ADMISSION. Ala. Feb. 22--Claiming
that his love for his devoted young wife
precluded his remaining a fugitive from
justice any longer, Edgar Dwight Smith,
former stamp clerk. who II is charged
absconded with S1.s7As3 in postal funds on
January 9 returned TO the home Of Mrs.
Smith and surrendered 10 United States
Commissioner G. B. Randolph. He was
released under a 81. 900 bond pending a
preliminary hearing next Wednesday.
There have been a series OF remark
auae condolences in connection with the
Irregularities at the Admission postOffice
within the past year. First came the alb
sc0nding Of Frank Roberts. which caused
a profound sensation. then just as the
public was about to forget this incident.
the fame Of sensation broke into a YER
liable cOnfiagration with the disappear
ance Of Ex-Postmaster Raglan. In lire
manner the arrest Of Roberts was
quickly followed by that Of Raglan. who
plead guilty at the same time. A few
DAYS ago Roberts returned from the At
lanta penitentiary resolved to live down
the effects OF his temporary disrepute
and reclaim the place he once held in the
esteem OF the people.
Finally came the return OF Ed Smith,
chagrined. remorseful and determined
to face his old friends, with the conf
dence that they viii sympathize with
him in his weakness. He and Ragan
were each gone six weeks.
In this connection Roberts states that
ex-Postmaster Raglan has lost his good
behavior credit. and his sentence will
thereby be increased as a result OF a fight
with one Of the prison guards.
