PROMINENT MAN
DELIVERS LECTURE
TUBERCULOSIS MAY Be CURED
ON MONDAY EVENING DR.. MORSE TOLD
or the PROGRESS MADE BY THE ANTI
TUBERCULOSIS LEA6UE

One of the most helpful lect-
ures delivered at the college this
year was that given by DR..
Morse Of Chimney Rock, N. c..
on Monday night. DR.. Morse is
one of the greatest authorities
In the South on the diagnosis
and cure OF tuberculosis. His
sanitarium, II miles from Hen
dersonville, in the very heart of
the Carolina pines, is one of the
few resorts of this kind where
all stages of tuberculosis are
successfully treated.
In his lecture on Monday even
ing DR.. Morse told Of the great
progress made by the Anti
tuberculosis Leagues There
are 334 Anti-Tuberculosis Leag-
ues in the United States and
these organizations spent over
$4,000. 600 during the year 1909
for the prevention and cure of
unfortunates suffering from tu-
berculosis. There are over 200
schools in America today train
irg children to be useful citizens
and at the same time treating
these little citizens for hip joint
disease, which is but another
name for tuberculosis, for scrof-
ola, for throat and head affections
and for all physical weaknesses.
which make the children of our
land more susceptible to the in
Vasions of the disease.
DR.. Morse clearly explained
that tuberculosis was not heredi-
tary, but infections and commu-
nicable He presented statistics
showing that 20 per cent. of the
human race died from some form
of tuberculosis. THE most ex-
ploded theory in regard to the
treatment of this scourge, is the
theory that a Western climate is
necessary to prolong the life of
the sufferer" said DR.. Morse.
DR.. Morse advocates the patient
remaining in a climate where the
altitude is not greatly different
from that to which he has been
accustomed.
After cautioning his hearers
not to neglect their duty in TAX
ing every precaution to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis, DR..
Morse ventured to state that be-
cause of the carelessness of the
whites. especially in the South,
the negro race would soon deci-
mate itself. I'VE permit our
servants to nurse our children,
wash our clothes, cook our food;
and never investigate the hyge-
mic condition of their homes and
families.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. Is. There
is no doubt that a very strong
sentiment has developed during
the past few days in favor of the
return of Hon. c. il. Alexander
to the senatorial contest. 10 is
claimed, and the impression is
growing, that Mr. Alexander is
the only man mentioned I'm this
connection who can control more
than 80 of the opposition votes
and defeat Ex-Governor Varda-
man on a final showdown.
1t is stated on good and relia-
bic authority that SO members of
the caucus have signed a state
ment to the effect that they will
vote for Mr.. Alexander provided
he re-enters the race and is pitt
ted against Mr.. yardaman for
the final round.
1t is also stated that there are
a few supporters of the ex-gov-
ernor who will fall in line in event
the opportunity is presented, SO
that on a vote narrowed down Do
these two, Mr.. Alexander would
receive at least 1O4 votes.
tits being urged that no other
man mentioned I'M connection
with the senatorial contest can
begin to muster this many votes.
and it is feared that Vardamau
would defeat any one Of the 9TH
ers. If this be true-and there
is reason to believe that it is
Mr.. Alexander should be brought
back into the race, and doubtless
will be, if he will consent TO the
use of his name.
