dogs and 6 people died with rabies.
The dog lovers at this time appeal
ed to the authorities to remove the
cruel muzzle and they consented
with the result that during the next
five years 1902 dogs and 81 people
died of the most agonizing disease
known to medicine. Despite this
awful lesson these same 'humanita-
rians' came again in 1899 with an
other petition signed by $4,000 of
them begging to be relieved of the
annoying muzzle, but the authorities
had learned lesson and remained
obdurate, with the result that in
1905 no case of rabies. occurred in
England, and there has been none
since in man or beast.

Prevention of HydrOph0bia

Hydrophobia is rapidly increasing
in the State of Georgia, and presum-
ably also throughout the United
States, according to figures cited by
DR.. Henry r. Slack in The Journal
Record of Medicine (Atlanta, Ga).
DR.. Slack bases his conclusions on
the records of the Georgia Pasteur
Institute, established ten years ago.
He writes:
when you consider the fact that
for four years (from 1900 to 1904
we only treated 237 patients, and
that "A of them came from west of
the Mississippi river, 80 from Ala
bama, "a from South Carolina, 118
(less than half) from Georgia, and
that 4S9 were treatedainN Georgia in
1908 and 1876 in 1909, after these
other States had established Pasteur
laboratories, the increase in rabies is
appalling. The average for the first
four years of this decade was 59.5,
while for the last two years it is
1878, or an increase of over S37 per
cent. in less than ten years. This
certainly is enough to make us pause
and think what we must do to pre-
vent the rapid spread of this most

ing, and death can be prevented by
very simple method.
"Muzzle all dogs and establish
six months quarantine. This is not
a theory, but a fact that has been
demonstrated in England, Denmark,
Sweden, and Norway. In the two
latter countries there has not been a
case Of rabies in over fifty years.
England's experience with the muz-
zling law demonstrates it's efficacy
most clearly. In 1889 there were
312 dogs and 80 human beings that
died with rabies. The muzzling law
was passed and rigidly enforced, so

A Georgian's Views

Mr.. Editor:-There is much being
said through the press and otherwise
about Tom Watson's returning to the
Democratic party as though he had
changed his principles. He has been
dyed in the WOOL Democrat from
his youth up-a faithful follower Of
Thomas Jefferson and Alex Stephens.
The Populist principles were moth
ing more nor less than Jeffersonian
Democracy. The Alabama Populists
were known as Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis, while the other political party
was known as the organized Demo-
cratic party. During the battle of
the first political campaign the or
gan1zed Democrats annihilated the
Jeffersonians by the franchise of bird
dogs and dead negroes. Uncle Reu-
ben Kolb could interest you on this
subject.
Alabama was in those days the
most corrupt State, politically, in the
Union and Augusta the most corrupt
city, politically, in America.
Such conditions could not exist
now, though they are long way in
the rear They smell bad when the
WIND blows from that direction.
We Populists of Georgia have been

voting in the Democratic primaries
ten years or longer, and we are truly
glad to see Mr.. Watson enter the.
field where he can help make the
Democratic party what it was before
the war.
We are for the Bob Toombs meth
Cd of nominating State officers, which
gives Quitman county two votes and
Fulton county six votes, while the
Hoke Smith method would give Quit
man county one vote and Fulton
county forty votes; this would prac--
tically disfranchise more than one
hundred counties in the State. Tom
can vote for whomsoever he likes.
We are going to vote for Joe Brown
if the good Lord blesses us with the
ability to go to the polls.-'Rex," in
