Anti tuberculosis Work
Among Southern Negroes.

The organization of negro anti-tu-
berculosis leagues throughout the
southern states is a step of the ut
most consequence for the preservation
OF public health. The fact that the
five states, Virginia, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi and North Carolina,
have formed these leagues lands them
in the foremost rank of southern
commonwealths; for the safety,
health and happiness OF the people
should be placed above any other
consideration by every government.
The education of negroes in the
proper cure and prevention o: the
dread disease which is playing such
havoc among the peoples of the world
is of more instant and insistent i'm
portance than the education of the
white population. Negroes are
known to be peculiarly susceptible TO
the scourge and those afflicted not
only spread it among others of their
own race but they are a constant
menace to the whites whom they
serve and with whom they come in
constant contact during the various
mental offices which they perform
me most Important move, then, is
to teach these ignorant people the
proper mode OF living, the necessary
hygienic rules which they must fol-
low, in order to escape further in
roads. They must be taught the val
ue Of fresh air and of disinfectiOn
they must be warned against modes
and habits Of living which invite the
disease; and there is but one way by
which such an education can be prop
erly cOnducted-an organized league
of labOrers thoroughly interested in
their work. For If this work is to
be effective not only must instruction
be impaired but a system of inspec-
ton inaugurated to see that it is car
ried out.
OF course the establishment or
these negro leagues should not inter
fere with the same sort of work
among the whites. A strenuous cam
paign is needed in every direction.
But, so far as the south is concerned,
the negro population is a great center
of infection and until something is
done to render it innocuous no effort
to destroy this disease among the
whites will prove effective. There
fore every southern state should fol-
low the example set by the five states
mentioned; and it is earnestly hoped
that Florida will be the next to assert
its progressiveness and it's regard for
the health, the lives, of its people.

The Tri-County Fair is the best
move that has ever been suggested
for the material advancement of that
section Of country embraced in Santa
Rosa and Escambia counties, Florida,
and Baldwin county, Alabama
The people OF West Florida, espe-
cially of the counties above men
toned, Rave relied on st.wmlll pay
rolls, railroad pay rolls and the de-
structiOn Of forests for living. This
fair has been splendidly started, all
efforts centerins on the development
OF agriculture by creating new faith
in the agricultural resources pres 7nt-
ed through the abundant proofs that
the fair viii bring together.
When our people realize what fine
agricultural section We have, they
will do their work with new interest
and new faith in the work. Every
farmer who tills his farm with new
faith will be a factor in the new life
of this section. Merchants seeing
what farmers are doing will be fac
tors of strength. On eVeTE hand
there will be new interest and strong
faith in our country.
