MILLION RATS DIE IN FRISCO
Victims of a ''Rat-Killing' in the
Fight Against the Bubonic
Plague Flea.

The story of the long, hard
fought campaign to rid San Francis
co of it's recent epidemic of bubonic
plague is told in an interesting re-
port made public by the Marine Hos
pital Service.
The disease was spread by a GER
tain breed of flea that infected the
rats, which in turn carried the
plague broadcast.
Approximately one million rodents
were slain in the effort to wipe out
the plague Nearly one hundred
thousand were examined, and OF TINS
number more than 800 carried heas
infected with the disease.
The campaign was directed to kill
ing off rats, disinfecting premises
and ships where the plague-infected
rats had been found and preventing
the breeding and spread of the pests:
Up to June 80, 1908, there mad
been 159 cases of plague and ~
deaths.

WILL INTRODUCE ONLY ONE OF HIS CITY COURT BILLS
Mr. Irwin Says He Will Not Ask Legislature City
But Will Urge That 1t Be Submitted County.

Thus it may be seen that the cost
of the court for three years is SILL
S06.01-
Some contend that the court
should not be charged up with the
amount which it costs Ito keep and
maintain the city court convicts
Certainly this is a legitimate charge
The taxes are collected and assessed
and the people pay in the money
necessary for their support.
/ am more thoroughly convinced
now than ever that a large majori-
ty OF the people of the county are
! determined to have this matter set
tied by the next general assembly.
! 1t ought to be settled. | am accused
! OF being the disturbing element, and
! it is even intimated that but for me
the matter would die out I assure
! the people of this county that | am
! interested in carrying out my cam
paign pledges. / have agitated, and
! will agitate this city court matter
until the people are given their just
dues and rights.
] The court was forced upon them
without their knowledge or consent,
and they are now taxed to support it
without their consent and against
their will. And / shall make an APP
peal to the next general assembly,
in the name of justice, in the name
of democracy, in the name of right,
that these good people of Terrell
county be given the right of local
government.
In order to be just and fair to the
friends of the court and fair to the
! opponents of the court l have de-
cided that l will only introduce a
bill in the senate which will give
the people the right to vote upon
the question of abolishing or retain
ing the court. Why cannot this di-
vision among our people be settled
and forever hushed in this friendly
way? The majority should rule.
Let those who oppose this PROPOSE
ton come forward and give some
reason why it is not fair and just.
Respectfully, JNO. R. IRWIN.

MAY REMAIN ON THE ROADS
That Is the Suggestion Now as to
White Convicts. Commission Will
Take Up Farm Matter Anain

lake Up Farm Matter Again.
ATLANTA.-In view of the fact
that the white convicts of the state
are to go on the public roads tenn
porarily it has been suggested in the
discussion of the matter at the capi-
tol that it might be we'll to keep
them there permanently if the ex-
pertinent proves a success, and thus
save the state the expense of pur-
chasing a costly farm.
A superior court Judge of south
Georgia said his experience was that
the people were tired of this maud
lin sentimentality which seemed to
consider the white conviets too good
for road work"
The proposition to buy a farm
grew out of the fact that the smaller
counties of the state did not want to
take a few white convicts and bear
the expense of maintaining them sep
arately from the negroes as the law
requires. Now that it has been found
the larger counties are anxious to
have them that reason no longer ex-
lists. 1t is suggested that the state
might thus save $4,000, unless
something develops to necessitate the
purchase of a farm for other rea-
sons.
Members of the commission stated
today that as soon as they get
through with the pardon docket this
week they will take up the farm
matter again, and if they can find
anything better than the Wimberly
farm they viii promptly recommend
it to the governor.

SULLY VISITS GEORGIA
Cotton King Says His Business Is
Too Big to Tell Public About.
SOUTH LAND OF POSSIBILITIES

refuses to Divulge the Object of His
Visit, But Asserts That 1t Is Inn
portant. Says the Opportunities
of This Section Are Matched No
where in the World. Will Remain
an the South Several Weeks.
ATLANTA.-Daniel ]. Sully, the
former cotton king''-the man who
earned his title by sending the price
OF the staple above seventeen cents
pound six years ago-is in Atlanta
for stay of several days. He says
that he is in the south on important
business, but declined to discuss it's
nature, except to say that it is big"
too big, in fact, to make public
yet awhile.
Mr.. Sully came here from Cleve-
land, and will be in the south for
several weeks. 1t is his purpose to
go from here to Birmingham and
other alabama cities, but will visit
no other places in Georgia.
While declining to discuss the i'm
mediate future of cotton or the pres
emit aspect of the market the daring
operator wouldn't, or couldn't, talk
OF anything else except that subject
IN general way.
The south is just beginning to
wake up to its real possibilities, he
declared. BY reason of it's practical
monopoly of this great staple this
section is going to lead the world in
dustrlally and commercially.
Few know of the marvellous de-
IVeIopment that is taking place in cot
ton. Many believe it is used only in
the manufacture of cloth, but it is
astounding the number of uses it is
really being put to and the rapid in
crease being made in it's varied uses.
In a few instances it has even re-
placed steel. Furniture is being
made of it. In a few years it will
rule the world commercially and
financially. Then watch the south
ern states
The steady rise of cotton in the
industrial world is the story of heart
aches and the Overturning of south
ern traditions
The young men of the south to-
day make the best business men.
Look at them in New York, where
they are leaders.
Your opportunities down here are
matched nowhere else in the world.
rake your own state, for instance.
If a wall high enough to shut out
airships were built around Georgia
| you folks could live forever without
discomfort. You can produce every
thing you need, even to luxuries like
tropical fruits"
Mr.. Sully's belief in the future of
cotton seems almost extravagant. He
predicts that it will take the place
of wood pulp in the manufacture of
paper, and expects to see the day
when houses will be built of cotton
! which by vulCanizing process will
| be made harder than iron or steel.
The Panama canal will be worth
| billions to the SOUTH" he says at
will give American cotton goods the
advantage in freight rates over those
from the mills of Europe. 1t will
not only increase the sale of Ameri.
can manufactured cotton, but that
of the raw staple by producing
greater demand. Considerable raw
cotton is now being shipped to ia
pan and China, where 1T is made into
cloth. This will not interfere seri-
ously with American goods, for the
cheap, ignorant labor of the Orient
or of Europe cannot compete success
fully with the well-paid, efficient
labor of America

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE FREAK.
Bill Being Stupid One Almost In
sures It's Passage.

The Missouri legislature has be-
fore it bill to prohibit the throw
ing of rice and old shoes after newly
married couples. The bill is stupid,
which gives it a good chance of be-
ing passed. The statute books of
every state in the union are bur-
.dened with laws that are stupid and
foolish. Nine in ten of them are
never enforced, to be sure, but the
very fact that they are on the books
tends to weaken the good laws in
whose company they are found.
