Poor pussy! AS If the immemorial

birds whenever she gets the chance

been responsible for the spread of
diphtheria. DR.. G.. ]. Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a sub
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat
He has therefore recently been warn

watch them carefully, and, If they de-

persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.

The children stood hushed and

young man and the girl looked
straight into each others eyes as they
talked. and her words seemed to cut
him like the lash of whip. When
there had been silence for a minute,
and the OLD man-wolf was heard
snarling as he paced the hall. the
young man said:
II am ashamed and sorry. Let that

And without the slightest fear in

another tenant came out and asked
for crumbs he was frightened away

whose ailment was starvation more
than disease-food to last for days and

new stockings to receive them-what-

picked up. And all the time, though
neither one knew the name of the

Bell Telephone Go. InCreaS-

The new directory Of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company has been de-
Iivered to the subscribers in Americas
by Manager Z. w. Tullis. The new
directory is attractive in appearance
and contains all the changes and cor
rectfons in Istings that have been
made since the last directory was
printed.
The number of new names appearing
in the list would indicate that there
are constant additions to the mum
Der of subscribers in Americas and
vicinity, and the telephone develop
ment iscontinuous.
The Southern Bell Company has
evolved a plan whereby it furnishes
telephone service to farmers and
other rural residents on an econonr-
ical basis. As a result, the telephone
is now tie rule rather than the ex-
ception on the farm, and farmers in
all sections of the state are installing
telephones in their homes.
The plant of the Southern Bell Co.
in Americas is maintained at a higI
state of efficiency and the subscribers
are well satisfied with the service they
are securing.

II PAYS A COUNTY
TO BE PROGRESSIVE
Good Roads Sumter S Great
Advertising Asset.

| Editorial n Atlanta constitutional
Does publicity pay county or town
Ask Sumter and Dougherty coua-
ties.
And we cite these two counties
merely for illustration. Last year
the quick perception and initiative of
Dougherty showed in its being the first
to contribute to the Constitutions ALL
Georgia Good Roads Contest OF
course Dougherty is nationally famous
for the reason that it is the banner
cantaloupe county of Georgia, as Sum-
ter is just now because of a banner
grain crop.
The Georgia county of Sumter has
been heralded in every norton Of
America the past month because of a
single short item in an issue of the
Constitution. This paper reported a
phenomenal and dramatic concrete in
stance of the land-enhancing value of
good roads, as evidenced in this South
Georgia county. 1t was spread to the
four quarters of the nation and sum
ter has everywhere been held up as a
model for every enterprising commun-
ity in America.
But it pays a county, in the way Of
publicity, to diversity in enterprise as
in crops.
Doughertys enthusiasm over good
roads was as constructive as over can
taloupes
Sumter's alertness over improved
highways was, and is, as militant as
over getting away from the all-cotton
menace, since Sumter is coming into
this years Round-Georgia Good Roads
Contest with a rush.
These testimonials to public spirit
and aggressive commun ty intelli-
gence lave been broadcasted in the
Constitution. Likewise the good
roads achievements and enthusiasms
of other Georgia counties have been
sent through the same medium to the
investing world of the United States.
Does it pay for county or town TO
advertise?
Ask every county and town that pa~-
ticipated in the Constitutions 1909 con-
