COW ACTED QUEERLY.
Fr0thed at Mouth and Rubbed Head
Against Tree Until She Died.

Mr.. w. H. Miller, the popular
county commissioner of near Bron-
wood, had a COW to die under pecui-
lar circumstances Wednesday night.
During the day the COW began
frothing at the mouth and rubbing
her head against the fence, or a tree,
which she kept up continuously un-
til she died, the incessant rubbing
and scraping wearing a hole in one
Of her ears and horns to the bone.
Mr.. Miller was puzzled over the
cows action, and cut her head off
and brought it to Dawson to have it
examined by physician. He has
no knowledge of it having been bit
ten by a dog.
Mr.. Miller is fearful that some
of his other cattle may be similarly
affected, and is keeping a close watch
on them.

In the first place, / stand for and adj
voeate every principle set out IN heplat-
form of the democratic party. The
supremacy of the people is the chief
corner stone of our government, and that
supremacy should be maintained at any
cost Hence, anything that savofs Of

ideas oil right of right. The viii Of the

and waterways In particular, | believe
in such legislation as secures the con-

containing phosphates, ores, minerals
and coal. The interests of the people
should be carefully considered liz this
connection, especially where the landsin
question yield mineral supplies, such as
are used in the manufacture Of CONNER

POPULATION. The population classed by
ne Census Bureau as urban constituted
R.3 per cent Of the total in 1910 az COM
pared with 40.5 in 1900. In view Of these
facts | believe it is the bounden duty OF
the government to study the causes OF
this decrease and SO to legislate as to stem
the tide that is flowing cityward The
history OF the world teaches MS that the
backbone Of the producing power of all
nations, and that when tillers Of the soil
have ceased their labors, as in time Of
wars and disaster, there have been sui
terlng and economic cramp in every de-
partment of the national life. believe
that we should devote special thought and
study to the bettement OF conditions for
the agricultural classes, and that we
should enact legislation that will not only
be beneficent but stimulating in its ef-
fects
| am in favor of laws that willprohibit
gambling in farm products, an evil that
is unquestionably responsible for the. de-
preston Of prices and consequent injus-
tice to the farmer. / am, as before stated,
strongly on the side Of good roads, bell
ewing that they are absolutely essential
to the general improvement Of rural con
ditions
PosToFFIcE BUILDINGS Fer Towns.
I favor such legislation as would au-
tomatically provide postoffice buildings
for all towns, based on their gross receipts
from $1,000 to $50, 900. it should not be
necessary for q special bill to be in
troduced Tor each town when a postoffice
building is needed. A general bill, such
as favor, would automatically authorize
a building to cost the amount justified by
the gross receipts Of the office at that
a9int. The demand for labor and ma
terial thus created would givs rise to a
very desirable industrial activity In
case of necessity the government could
float bonds for this purpose at 2per cent.
At present, in many instances, it is pay
ing 10 per cent rental for bindings used
as postoaices. Another desirable feature
of this plan which | advocate is the saw
ing OF time to congress. Under the pres
ent system each bill must be passed on
and with considerable loss of
costly time.
ONE-CENr LETTER POSTAGE.
I favor. an increased rate Of postage on
periodicals, pamphlets, cata
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1912-07-18


I believe in tariff for revenue; that is,
in such taxes or tariffs as are necessary
to maintain a correct administration OF
the government. I am opposed to deriv-
ing revenue from the necessities of life,
and / think that there should be such
regulation OF the rates and the sources OF
re venue as will protect the masses OF the
people and not enrich certain classes at
the common expense.
favor the amendment to the Federal
Constitution providing for the levy OF the
income tax, and believe that this tax
should be collectible on all incomes OF
Sc, 900 and over The 'unearned in-
,crement, as it exists in the case Of
pIutocrats and non-producers, should he
made to bear its share OF the general
burden.
AID FoR PUBLIC HIaHwAYs.
am strongly in favor of the govern
ment giving its interested attention and
its actual aid to public highways and to
the reclamation of swamp lands, II ii
should become necessary to dose would
favor the floating Of government bonds
at 2 per cent for this purpose. The inn
proyenent Of our public highways is, to
my mind, the key to the economic saliva
ton OF the rural districts. These sections
would be opened up, they would become
so attractive to those interested in agTi-
culture and SO much more comfortable
and profitable to the farming classes that
there world Of necessity follow in the
wake OF road improvement the solution
! Of the probltm of the dwindling farm
population. We should encourage oul
Young men to form partnerships with
nature by becoming farmers. Th,
quickest and most profitable way.to dol
is to give the peonle the best roads tia
can be provided.
FoR BETTER AGR1cULTURAL CONDITIONS.
In this connection | would call atten
ton to the fact that 10 years following
the census OF 1900 the population of th
United States increased Il per cent, bu
the number of farms did not keep. pac
with this increase in population. Meas
ured by the number Of farms agricultuT
exhibits diminished rate of increase

standing this fact. there has been an il
crease OF liz. 4 per cent in the value Of a
land in farms The average value {
farm land per acre increased, during IL
ten years period indicated, los. pc

to note that there has been a nnch mol
rapid increase in urban than in ruTl

our rate at present is 7.50 perthou-
sand Malaria, from a maximum
ofsS2l per thousand taken sick j.
e., that out Of every thousand Of our
employees in the course Of the year,
we have S21 taken sick with malaria
we have reduced at presentto 1877
per thousand. But most important
ofall, yellow fever has been entirely
banisfed. We have not had a single
case since May, 1906, now lapse
of almost 6 years. The general
death-rate has been reduced from a
maximum Of 1924 per thousand to
rate, for the year 1910, Of 2l.18
per thousand. Such a rate com
pares favorably with that of many
parts Of the United States.
Oneof the highest railroad officials
in the United States has recently
stated that the sanitary expenditures
on the isthmus would have 5per
cent. Of the total cost when the
canal had been finished; that he
thought that the sanitary results ac-
'complished had been worth many
times the amountspent, and that he
believed that these same measures
would, as matter-of economy, be
adopted in all future works of this
kind. How much more empathic
might he have been if he had known
that, instead Of costing 5 per cent.
OF the total appropriation, they had
actually cost less that 1 per cent. Of
the total appropriation for all pur-
poses.
While the great work in tropical
sanitation, Of Laveran, Ross, Reed,
Finlay, Garter and many others,
have eRabled the sanitary depart
ment on the Isthmus to take vital
part in the work Of building the
canal this is not the greatest good.
that we hope, and expect, will flow
from this conspicuous object lesson.
We hope that our success at Panama
will induce other tropical countries
to try the same measures; and that
thereby gradually all the tropics will
be redeemed and made a suitable
habitation for the white man.
| therefore wish to say most en-
phatically that considering the re-
suits and difficulties surrounding the
subject, the sanitation Of Panama
has not been costly. When the
canal shall have been finished it can
be shown that sanitation cost about
1855 600 per year. For a popula-
tlonof 10000 this means an ex-
penditure Of about | cent per day
for each individual, and this sum is
well within the means of any tropi-
cal country. Eek.

Everyone is interested in The
rapidly approaching completion o.
the Panama Canal Much has beer
said about the control Of disease on
the Canal Zone. The leading article
in the current number Of The Jour
nal Of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION on sanitation at Pana-
ma" by Col. w. G. Gorgas, Chief
Sanitary Officer Of the Canal Zone,
is therefore especially interesting.
After describing the topography Of
the canal, Col. Gorgas says, in part:
The health conditions at Panama
when the United States took charge,
in 1904, were very bad. For 400
years this isthmus had been con-
sidered the most unhealthy spot in
the world and the mortality records
will sustain this opinion. The Of
fetal pilot chart, in 1908, says:
The Panama Canal District is one
Of the hottest, wettest and most
Ifeverish regions in existence. In
ternlittent and malignant levers are
prevalent, and there is an epidemic
Of yellow fever at times. The death
rate under normal conditions is
large.
From the best information which
/ can get, and which | consider ac-
curate, I believe the French lost
%. 189 laborers by death from 1881
to 1889. This would give a rate Of
something over 240 per thousand
per year. / think it due to the
French to say that we could not
have done a bit better than they, if
we. had known no more of the cause
Of these tropical diseases than they
did.
The great discoveries in tropical
medicine made during the time bet
ween the coming Of the French to
the Isthmus and the coming Of our
selves, however, namely that certain
species Of mosquito transmit both
yellow fever and nlalarial fevers,
have enabled us to protect ourselves
against these and other tropical
diseases.
The French, with an average force
Of not more than 10, 200 men, lost
in 8 years 22.189 men; we, with
an average force Of $1,000 men, in
nearly the same length Of time have
lost less than 1900. The DEATH
rate among the French employees
was something more than 240 per
thousand: our maximum rate in the
early days was 30 per thousand;

COMMERCIAL CLUB
AFTER 1000 MEMBERS
The Governing Board Is Launch
ing a Campaign With
That Object in View

"a thousand members for the Com
mercial club will be the slogan that
the members will use in their CAM
paign for membership which was
formally launched at a meeting of the
governing board last night when the
preliminaries of the campaign were
made the subject for consideration.
The governing board has started out
this year in a general plan of inter
esting all the membership in the work
of the club and to this end has di-
vided the membership into thirteen
units, each unit having approximately
forty members and each presided over
by member of the governing board
The idea is to get the membership in
touch with the work Of the club and
secure the fullest cooperation pos
sible in carrying forward the plans
and purposes Of the organization
With the club units properly organ
will be pressed from all sides and the
details of that campaign will be def
nitely determined in a meeting that
will be called some evening later in
the week. Every effort will be made
to increase the membership to the
thousand mark 1t is felt that there
should be at least a thousand men in
the valley that are interested enough
in the work planned and accomplish
ed to give it their moral and financial
support.

FIGHTING AGAINST
PAYING DEATH CLAIM
Beneficiary of Paul Arnold, De.
ceased, Is Suing the National
Casualty Company

The case Monday before Judge
Grady and a jury in department No.
2 of superior court involves the pay
ment of a life insurance policy for
$500. 1t is still on trial. The trial
also recalls a tragedy. for the benefi-
ciary, under the policy is the widow
Of Paul Arnold, who was instantly
killed on the fourth of last June, un-
der the following circumstances.
Arnold was a baker, residing at
Toppenish. He and Ben Hirnheimer.
one of the proprietors of the Mint
saloon there, drove up to North Yak
ina with team on the above mem
toned date, and put up their team
at the Wenas stables; in the after
noon they started on their return trip
to Toppenish and when between I'm
ion Gap and Parker their team ran
away Paul Arnold jumped out of
the rear of the vehicle, fell on his
head and broke his neck. Hrnheim-
er, who was driving. staid by the rig
until dragged out when the horses
broke the double-tree and detached
themselves from the carriage.
Paul Arnold carried a policy of 5000
with the National Casualty company
of Detroit, Mich. 1t is to recover this
amount that the action was brought
The defendants allege several grounds
in their answer for their refusal to
pay the face of the claim, one of the
important ones being that deceased
was intoxicated when he met his
death, and under the terms of the
policy could not recover
In addition to the widow, deceased
left three young children.
Wende & Taylor are the attorneys
for the plaintiff, while Roberts G.
Udell are looking after the interests
