The Los Angeles Times insists that Phil Stanton

HOOK WORM AMONG THOSE PRESENT
Or Stiles Saw Six Delegates Who Had cit" at the At
lanta Conference to Consider John DIS Million

ATLANTA, Ga.-After extending
a rising vote of thanks to John D..
Rockefeller for his "munificent and
Humanitarian" gift of $1,OOO,O0O for
the eradication of the hookworm dis
ease permanent organization to be
known as the Southern Health Con-
ference was effected at the session
here of the conference on the hook
worm.
A rsolution was adopted favoring
uniform state laws requiring the com
pllation of vital statistics.
Two hundred delegates from ev-
cry section in the south are in At
lanta, and many distinguished medi-
cal men from the north are present.
including DR.. Chas. w. Stiles, of the
U. S. Marine Hospital service, who
discovered the existence of a dis
tlnctly American hook worm and
first brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the public. His most diIigent
researches were made right here in
Georgia.

WORSE THAN HOW OLD is ANN
Down in Thomas County Legacy
Is to Be Dissected.

Lawyers often meet up with COM
plicated propositions in their prac-
tice, and recently a Thomasville law
yer has been confronted with one
which sounds almost as puzzling as
the age of the redoubtable Ann.
This lawyer was called upon to set
tie up the estate of a woman in the
county who died leaving $4,000 to be
divided among her children and their
descendants. She had eight chill
dren. One of these children had died
leaving a family of six. Of these
six one had died and left a family of
eight to divide her share. What is
the share of each of the last eight,
what fraction of the sum left do they
get?
To further complicate matters one
of the original eight children who
never married has died since her
mother and left her eighth of the
property to be divided among the
children and grandchildren of her
brothers and sisters.

Farmers Union, and emphasizing the
widespread prevalence of the dis
ease DR.. Stiles created much surprise
when he said he had been able to
recognize among the delegates to the
conference at least six cases in which
the symptoms of the hook worm dis
ease were visible.
Whew! Fairly Alive With En-.
DR.. c. c. Bass of Tulane Uniyer-
sity, who has written an authoritative
work on hook worm diagnosis and
treatment, spoke of the enormous
number of hook worm eggs that
might be found in a single individual.
he said that he once made a calcula-
ton from microscopic examination
that single person infected with
hook worm disease could furnish
enough ova to infect the entire popu-
latlon OF New Orleans, provided all
the eggs Matched and found a lodging
place IN some human being.
one OF the principal things consid-
cred at the meeting was the proper
and most effective means of using
the million dollar donation of John
d. Rockefeller to eradicate the dis
ease.

AN ENOna- PENSION LIST.
uncle Sam Last Year Paid His Pen.
siOners $161,97S.7 O3.


Inc greatest amount ever dis
Dursed in pensions by any govern
ment on earth was paid out by the
United States in the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1909, the sum having
reached the enormous total of $751;
S73,7O3. These figures are all the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that during the year 48,312 names
were dropped from the pension rolls
by reason of death and other causes
At the beginning of the fiscal year
1909 there were 951,687 persons re-
celVlng pensions from the United
states government, and during the
year 46,088 new names were added
to the rolls. The survivors of the
CIVIL war now on the pension rolls
number 539,961.
The increase in the amount paid
out in pensions was due principally
to the large number of pensioners
placed on the rolls under the act of
February 6, 1907, granting $12, $15
and $40 per month to survivors of
the war with Mexico and the civil
war, on reaching the ages of 81, 70
and IS, respectively, and to the OPP
Grafton of the act of April 10, 1908,
which granted pensions to widows of
soldiers of the civil war without re-
gard to their pecuniary condition, and
to the increase of the pensions grant
ed certain widows, minor children
and helpless minors from So to S12
per month.

THINGS TEDDY HAS KILLED
THE STRENUOUS ONE SLAYED
HARMLESS LITTLE DEER.
Nothing Bad or Ferocious Concealed
in the Names of the Victims of
His Hunt i'm Africa.

There is no report in yet on the
bongo. But a line has been given
on the klipspringer, topi, harte-
beest, wildebeest, gazella, impalla,
dik-dik, ocyon and cony.
The klipspringer is called kainsi
by the Hottentots and kilp-bok by
the Beers. 1t is a small antelope that
is widely distributed throughout
South Africa. Klipspringer stalking
in Africa is fine sport.
The topil is something like an an
telope, and yet much heavier, having
to a certain extent characteristics
which ally it to the family that in
cludes the bovine species.
The hartebeest are large antelopes
that go in herds and are very swift.
The wildebeest are better known as
the gnu. They are described as
grotesque-looking animals, with dis
prOpOrtionately large heads.
Gazella is the name of a group of
graceful little antelopes which are
commonly known as gazellas, from
the Arabic name of one of the species
Impallas, or sometimes simply pal
las, are also of the antelope family
There are two African species known
to science, the common impalla and
the Angola impalla.
The dik-dik is this name given a
curious group of little antelopes
which may be distinguished from all
other forms by the more or less
marked elongation of the muzzle,
which is almost entirely covered by
hair, and the presence of a tuft of
hair on the crown of the head.
The ocyon is a small carniverous
animal, quite like a fox. There are
several species of the animal. It's
skull is said to resemble that of the
gray fox of this country.
The many kinds of boks, such as
the blesbok, bontebok rhebok and
others are almost all antelope or
deer-like animals. OF similar char
acter are the bushbuck, reedbuck,
waterbuck, etc.
The cony is a small animal with
fleshy pads in it's toes, by means of
which it can climb with great agility
among rocks and in large trees, and
is of interest on account Of having
been frequently mentioned in the
Bible.

OVER THE BRooMsTICK AT 70.
Jumps a Presidents Cousin. Tom
Tyler of Putnam County.

AJAcr III truman County.
A marriage of unusual interest in
Putnam county and elsewhere was
celebrated in Putnam Sunday when
MI. Tom Tyler, bachelor farmer,
aged 76 years, was married to Mrs.
Missouri McAllister, a widow over so.
Mr.. Tyler was cousin of Presi-
dent Tyler, one of the heroes of the
llppecanoe and Tyler too cam
palgn, whereby he became president
upon the death of William Henry
Harrison.
The Putnam groom's resemblance.
marked enough to attract the atten-
ton of the neighborhood school chill
dren to the appearance of Americas
ninth president, has made him a ia
mlliar figure in the county. His sis
ter, Mrs. Clsudine Owens, who died
last year, was remarkable woman
IN many respects, intelligently and
otherwise. Just before her death
when 80 years of age, she wrote a
poem on the death of one of her
lifelong friends and neighbors.
Though the groom is well past 70
years of age this is his first matri-
monlal venture. He and his bride
begin the journey Of life with as
much merriment and happiness as a
couple of sweet sixteen romancers.

TUSKEGEE, Ala.-'Land owning
was the general subject for discus
sion at the nineteenth annual session
of the Tuskegee Negro Conference
held at Tuskegee Institute today.
President Booker Washington and
other prominent negroes urged the
colOred people of the south to stick
to the country" and to attempt to
become owners Of at least a small
farm. This course was said to be
the salvation of the race, and the
sentiment was heartily approved by
the hundreds of delegates.
All sorts and conditions Of ne
groes, of all ages and shades of color
ing, from suave and polished educa-
tors and professional men, merchant
princes and farmer kings to the
humblest laborers, were in attend
ance. The majority, however, were
farmers from what is called the
black belt of Alabama.

in the same old-fashioned way. An
old ante-bellum minister read the
Scripture; another led in prayer, and
finally some one in the audience
struck up an old-fashioned plantation
hymn of the type that is still cher,
ished among the people in the coun-
try districts. After that different
delegates, whose fame had preceded
them, where called upon to testify,
