GOVERNMENT HEALTH ADVISER

When Theodore Roosevelt discovered some
years ago that the Panama Canal could never be
built until the yellow fever plague was con-
quered, he appointed a commission of medical
men to discover the cause of the scourge and
the means of preventing it. The splendid work
of that commission everybody knows; but not
everyone is aware that the members of the COM
mission named by a private citizen, DIT.
William H. WEIGH of Baltimore. DR.. WEIGH has
occupied for years the unique position of unofi-
cial adviser to the United States government in
all large matters relating to the public health.
There is hardly single body that has to do with
the national health which does not include DR..
Welch among its members.

Seven prisoners escaped during the

The building which was destroyed

over ten thousand dollars.

prison commission in reference to
the destroying of the main building

I'VE regret very much that the dis

the loss and as soon as all prelimi-
nary details can be arranged and the
insurance settled up we intend to re-
place with an adequate concrete

In referring to the escaping of the
seven prisoners during the time when
more than hundred inmates were
being removed to place of safety,
General Evans said:
II want to heartily commend the
guards for their good work in pro

fire and from escaping. From all
reports that have come to me / con-
slider that they did excellently and
that the escapes were unusually
small considering the number that

state EntomoIoglst Worsham Fights
Boil WeeyI Before it Comes.
Atlanta.-Lee Worsham, state en-
tomologist, believes in being fore
handed about things. He firmly be-
heves that the pest of the cotton
fields, the boil weevil, will land in
Georgia on It's deprivating march
within a few years now and he wants
to begin campaign against it in
plenty of time.
With this idea in view he is pre-
pairing a boil weevil pamphlet which
will embrace all the scientific knowl-
edge contained about this cotton
plague, but couched in language I'M
derstandable to any farmer that can
read. This will be sent broadcast
all over the state as an educative
document and 10 put farmers on
guard how to know the weevil then
TO Aght it Mr.. Worsham will present

Young Mems Democratic Club VIII
Try to Land Meeting for Atlanta.
Atlanta. Atlanta is going to make
a serious effort to land the 1912 Ma
tional Democratic convention. The
chamber of commerce and the Young
Mems Democratic League have join
ed forces, backed by Clark howell
and others, in the effort to get this
big convention. The two organiza.
lions named have joint committee
to go to work on the plan.
1t is pointed out that Atlanta Is
about the only city in the soutn with
an auditorium large enough to accom-
modate such huge gathering, and
that the south should have this con-
vention because it is the one section
of the country to remain steadfast
to Democratic principles. It is be-
lieved that the effort to get the meet
ing here presages an effort to have
Hoke Smith named for either prosl-
dent or vice president on the next

New Weather Clerk
Arrives at Fl. Gibbon

John Grissenger's younger
brother arrived on Monday last
and has taken up his residence
with his parents, DR.. and Mrs.
Grissenger, in the Post. He ex-
poets to make a rather extended
visit and will probably accom-.
pany his parents to the States
this summer.
AS yet he has not divulged his
name. Some say it is Theodore
but he does not seem to respond
to that when addressed. 1t may
be simply because it savors too
much of the Big Stick, or that he
has an aversion to some Of the
Roosevelt policies.
His prospects in life are ex
ceedingly bright, though at the
present writing he has not yet
decided whether to adopt the
army as. career or accept the
position as chief of the weather
bureau. His father has been
wearing a broad smile since his
sons arrival, and his mother is
naturally quite proud of him.
