Negative Results In New England.
The results obtained from the inves.
tigation in New England were mega
tive and were further corroborative
of the fact that the physical condition
among some Of the Southern mill
workers are not due to Tint" or gem
eral working conditions. but to the
hookwo-m malady. The New England
mills are older htan those OF the South.
and the native white Americans and
negroes among their operating forces
have for several generations been ur-
ban residents and removed from any
danger Of soil pollution The larger
proportion of the workers in the
Northern mills. however, are foreign
ers who have come from the old world
to the textile manufacturing centres,
and. as a consequence, any hookworm
disease among them would be the re-
suit of foreign infection. and most
likely among the Italians. The fail
ure of DR.. stiles to find any clearly
indicates that the unsatisfactory physi-
cal condition OF some Of the Southern
that it is not the result of Southern
conditions of employment With the
eradication of the hookworm diseas"
and the enforcement Of proper SAM
tary regulations Southern working
and living conditions will be far more
favorable than those of New England.

Burkeville Is Too Slow-The Very Hot October

burg and W hat Of It-Other Hints.

in their own light Burkeville people
and the people who live and move
and have their being and own land
around and about the town seem 70
be in marked danger Of doing the
same old thing once again. My infor-
nation is that some Pennsyivanla
capitalists have conceived the toea
that there is much oil. maybe consid-
cradle gas. and possibly valuable
minerals. under some Of the soil that
surrounds Burkeville. OF course. they
do not know it, and never can until
they spend a good lot of money in
vestigating. They are willing to spend
this money and take all the risks It
the owners of the land will grant
unto them the mining privileges for
a certain period To this end they ask
for leases, etc. on the terms offered
by the Pittsburghers. The owners OF
very many acres have promptly
granted the leases. but the company
cannot get to work until 1t gets more
of them, and the owners OF certain
properties there are acting somewhat
after the manner of the dog in the
manger. They will not lease their
holdings themselves. and to all intents
and purposes they are preventing
their neighbors from doing the same
Just why these people act this way
IL is hard to understand. They are
not making anything from the land
now except what the short crops may
bring in, and the leasing OF the specu-
1ative oil privileges will not prevent
them from continuing the cropping.
If the Pittsburgh capitalists find oil
or gas, or anything else that is valu-
able, the present owners of the now
practically worthless dirt are bound
to win out. AS the Burkevine corre-
spondent puts 1t. they have all to
make and nothing to lose. Why they
hesitate and block the wheels of pro-
gress can be explained in no way ex-
cept on the basis that there il a wo-
full lack Of good horse sense in the
regions around about Burkeville.
