REPORT GIVES ATLANTA
A PRETTY BAD RECORD
More Arrests There Than in Any City
of Same Size in the Nation.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. SIS Atlanta
really the wicked city that she is
painted?
This is the question that is worrying
the citizens of the Georgia capital fol-
lowing the startling report just made
by the committee on prisons and re-
formatories to the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce. This report, which has
been made after careful research into
the city police records, shows the as
founding fact that more arrests were
made in Atlanta during the year If
1910 than in any city of the same pop
ulation in the United States. In fact,
there were more people arrestedIn At
lanta last year Han in at least thr'
cities which are almost twice its size,
these being Cleveland, Detroit and
Cincinnati No less than 1853 per-
sons were gathered in by the strong
arm of law in Atlanta in 1910, while
Louisville, KY, comes next with 1000
less.
While these figures indicate that Al
lanta is without doubt a den of iniq-
uity," the gentlemen who make the re-
port say that such is not really the
case. A large number of the arrests
were made for trivial violations Of
city ordinances by people who did not
know that they were committing any
sort of a crime. A large percentage
of those arrested was made up of min
ors Of both sexes.

MALARIAL PLAGUE THREATENS
THREE GEORGIA COUNTIES
Overflow Caused by Dam is Blamed
For 1t.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. S.-Believing that
large districts of Newton, Jasper and
Butts counties are being threatened
with a regular plague of malaria, ow-
ing to the floods which are backed up
from the Ocmulgee river, a delegation
of representative citizens from the af-
fected section has called upon Govern
or Hoke Smith to make an appeal for
aid and assistance. Thousands of
acres of cultivated lands are overflow
ed by the backwater, and this inun-
dated land has become a breeding
place for myriads of malaria bearing
and other insects that are
spreading the pestilence rapidly. The
overflow is caused by the dam which
was built across the Ocmulgee river
in Jasper and Butts county two years
ago. According to the committee
wl~ch is waiting on Governor Smith,
the situation is desperate and hun
1reds of farm labOrers are leaving the
section rather than run the risk Of
taking malaria. What will be done
about the matter is not yet decided,
out action is expected Immediately.

This, it is said, will follow the meet

Members of the conference commit

order.

HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN Is
ACTIVELY UNDER WAY
Generous Response Is Urged
For CaDVaSSeFS

Active work has been begun by the
ladies of the Hospital Association for
the purpose of raising money to de-
fray the expenses of constructing the
new hospital building, one of the most
vital needs of the city of Americus at
this time.
The faithfulness of the ladies who
are championing the cause of the new
hospital is of such a kind that the
final results of such a canvass cannot
be doubted. They have already met
with success in the quarters where
they have had opportunity to extend
their work, but their purpose now Is
to extend this work throughout the
entire city and to call upon every cit
izen and resident of Americus for ac-
tive financial support.
The members of the canvassing COM
mittee will make a most careful tour
of the city in placing the claims of the
hospital before the people of Ameri-
Gus, who have never been called upon
to support a more worthy cause The
most generous response to their re-
qusets for subscriptions is urged by
all the ladies of the organization and
by every resident of the city who feels
an interest in this most humane of all
work.
The prospects for business We're neV-
er better than they are now, so that
every contributor is urged to bear this
in mind in making donation, so tn 1t
the success of this work may be speed
lily accomplished. The ladies are thor
oughly alive to the work that is be-
fore them and it will be thoroughly
and completely done. The people Of
Americus cannot fail to support and
support heartily this work, which has
been so worthily conceived, and is be-
ing so faithfully and energetically eX-
ecuted.

NEED OF INSPECTION IN
CLEANING UP CITY
Board Of Health to Request
Appointment

The appointment of an officer who
will serve as sanitary inspector and
see especially to the immediate clean
ing up of premises in Americus will
be urged upon the city council at the
meeting of that body next Monday
night by resolutions recently adopted
by the Americus Board of Health.
DR.. Wade Chambliss, chairman OF
the Health Board, will emphasize the
urgent need for the appointment 1y
council of such official.
1T is very essential that conditions
in Americus be improved at once,
said DR.. Chambliss yesterday. There
is much here at this time that is cal
culated to create sickness, and it is
very essential that sanitary inspect
or be put upon the work
DR.. Chambliss thinks that such Of
fetal placed at the disposal Of the
Board of Health for two or three
months, at least, can work a vast
change here from a sanitary viewpoint.
Rank weeds need to be cut down and
back yards cleaned up. Many resi-
dents will not do this of their own
volition.
The season is at hand when this pre-
caution should be taken, and witholt
days delay.
The Board of Health also recon-
Imends to council that means be pro,
vided to prevent COWS pastured 7
the w,Jtern suburbs from drinking
the polluted water Of Town Creek
This creek, reeking with sewerage
runs through pastures in which man!
COWS are herded every day.
This, in itself, is sufficient to breet
fever and disease.
The Health Board recommends t,
council that a wire fence he buil
along the creek banks through tn
pasture, thus cutting off the COWS fro,
this water supply, which will bree
disease should they drink it.
