THE COUNTY UNIT.

Mr.. Rives, in an article in
todays News attacking the county
unit plan, says, in effect, that under
it little rotten boroughs whose poll
tics are controlled by a small coterie
in each" decide election results. 1t
is lust the other way. The strong
est argument in favor of the county
unit plan is that it protects the rights
of the small rural counties, and pre-
vents the corrupt and purchasable
voters Of the large cities, who are abb
solutely under the control of politi-
cal bosses, from controlling our state
elections. Under the other plan the
venal voters in one large county
have more power and influence in
shaping the political matters of the
state than the honest and upright
voters of half dozen smaller coun-
ties.
We trust that our friends opposi-
ton is not so much to the principle
of the county unit as it is to a certain
aspirant for office in this section
who, at this time, may happen to be
benefited by that method Of making
a nomination, and hope that before
long he will be fighting side by side
with US to preserve the rights and
power of the country counties.

n,,n np1cE OLE THE DOG.

With the approach OF dog days
onnrebension of the rabies increases.
This danger is present with every
dog each month in the year, but is
greatest in the hottest part of the
summer In this connection the Sa-
vannab News calls attention to a
great work that is being done b
tba state board of health in the treat
ment of hydr6phobia, which was diff
fcn1t for long time because of the
DELAY in securing it. Our contem-
porary says:
Three years ago the state board
of health began supplying the hydro
pbobia virus to local physicians and
treating patients free at its offices
in Atlanta. The results have been
surprising. Fifteen hundred people
have been treated either at Atlanta
or by physicians elsewhere. Over
200 cases have been treated this
wear. and there has been only one
death. In nearly every case there
was also an examination of the head
of the animal by which the patient
was bitten. Many lives have been
saved and much suffering prevented.
The virus is prepared by physicians
of the board in Atlanta. A treat
ment consists of one incubation each
day for twenty-one days, when the
danger is considered to be past.
"To secure treatment a trip to
Atlanta is not necessary, as the virus
will be sent on application to the To-
cal or family physician and can be
administered by him. Delay increases
the danger, and the board might IA
cilitate the work it is doing by es-
tablishing a place in each county
where the virus could be obtained
and the treatment applied"

MONEY NO OBJECT TO HIM.
Belated Story of Democratic Conven-
ton Is O Good One.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Aftermath stories Of the conVen-
ton which drift to your ears are not
without their amusing sides. nus
one lady who wanted paying guests
during the convention is now mourn
ing the fact that she was success
full in obtaining one.
He was d gentleman-saVe the
MARYLAND he appeared at her doors
on the very morning that the ses-
sions of the convention began. He
said that he came from a smart club,
and that a friend had told him he
could be no more comfortable any
where than in her house. Oh, he was
charming, and the family were de-
lighted with him.
Money, he said, was no object with
him. He would pay $40 a day for
her best room and bath, or he would
pay $40, as she suggested.
She said $40, and he assured her
that it was cheap at the price.
So thoroughly congenial was he
that his hostess arranged that a cooA
and succulent mint julep should al
ways be in his room when he came in
warm and excited at night. This was
usually accompanied by plate OF
dainty biscuits or cakes. She ar
ranged that his clothes should be
pressed in the house; she had his
laundry done.
And he was grateful. Twice a day
at least he stopped in the drawing
room to say how comfortable he was,
how much at home he felt. He de-
clared that Baltimore was the garden
spot of the world, and the chosen
corner of creation.
Then the convention ended and he
went away. But he said goodbye
to none of the family. Indeed, they
never knew when he left; he just
faded away without a particle OF
confusion or noise.
And he left no money behind him.
Not even 25 cents as a tip to the
maid who had pressed his trousers.
1t was evident that the idea that he
was at home had SO impressed itself
on his inner consciousness that he
quite overlooked the fact that this
was, after all, a money transaction.
His erstwhile hostess is racing
mad, but withal she has a sense of
humor, and this is the way she com
forts herself: Il wanted four" she
tells her friends. Il wanted four.
Suppose | had got them. l meant
to buy a wonderful Oriental rug with

man cost me. And he was so pol
ished! Why, he knew more about
art than Benvenuto Cellini himself, -

MIR. RIVES SAYS UNIT RULE
is REFUGE OF POLITICIANS

Editor Dawson News: The ''coun-
ty unit plan" is occupying the font
of the stage just now, and in it's last
analysis is the only hope of ring pol
itics, let the ring be composed OF
which ever faction you please. I'm
der it's rule the weakest man, men,
tally, morally and democratically,
Schley, Ben Hill, Crisp and Lee by
ten majority, or with three candi-
dates by ten plurality each, and an
null the vote of the strongest candi-
date mentally, morally and demo
cratically, though he should carry
can carry Quitman, Clay, Webster,
Macon, Sumter, Randolph and Dooly
by a plurality of 400 votes each, and
in reality get more votes in Sumter
than the other man got in the entire
district.
Take the governors race and you
have the same state of affairs. 1t
is the rotten little borough whose
politics are controlled by a small
counties, judicial circuits and city
courts, bars any but professionals
from certain offices, and prevents
reforms in taxation, education and
everything that would tend to good
government, but would lessen off
cial pap and place legislation in
the hands of the intelligence and
moral stamina of the state. To
argue that to kill the county unit
you initiate against the germ OF
separate state governments and
home rule" is, to say the least, beg
ging the question. The state from
herself creates the counties; they
had representation before they were
created, and each man in it was en-
titled to vote for every officer in the
state. With the territories it was
different; they voted only for the
members of their assembly. Their
governors, judiciary and such were
always appointed by the president,
and no mattr how they stood in pol
itics the dominant party in the gen.
eral government controlled the Off
ces of their state. But territory be-
came state, for the first time its
citizenry, since living under its terri
torial government, were entitled "a
full representation; in the one case
you create a sovereign out OF another
sovereign; in the other you create g
sovereign out of a dependency, and
when you make Delaware surrender
her Iight to elect her senators ~
her legislature and place he" where
as state her former senators, repre-
senting sovereignty, become the rep
resentatives of her citiZenry, you de.
grade her state rights. But when out
of, say Randolph, entitled to one
! representative, you create another
county you swindle Terrell by plac-
ing her equal in population above
| her in representation.
The smaller counties should either
be merged into the larger ones from
which they are taken or we should
have legislative districts, so that
each part and group of the state
should have the same representation
and until then, so long as the pri-
mary system obtains, the candidate
in all divisions of the state should
be elected by popular majorities OF
all the qualified voters of the dis
trict, judicial circuit or county in
which it is held, and the governor
by that of the entire state. Respect
fully, ANDREW P. RINES.

THE "BLACK DEATH"

A few years ago the announcement
of an epidemic of bubonic plague at
our very gates would have thrown
the nation into state of excitement
and fear, but recent experience and
increased scientific knowledge have
provided ample means of resisting
the dread invasion. When the first
outbreak was reported from the old
city of San Juan, Porto Rico,
month ago, and later disquietlng
rumors of infection came from Ha-
vana, the public health service
promptly established quarantine
Gordon around the Atlantic and Gulf
seaboards, from Maine to the Rio
Grande, and appealed to the seaboard
cities to defend themselves against
the "black death" United States
officers are fighting the plague IN
Porto Rico and in Havana-inspect-
ing departing vessels, ordering fu-
migation and examining passengers
and freight.
Plague is primarily a disease OF
rats. The feas on a sick rat dis
gorge themselves on his bacilli-laden
blood and, when he dies, seek an
other home. Human beings are in
fected through the bites Of these fieas.
Where there are no fleas there is no
danger of plague. Relentless wal
! must be waged on the rat as the price
of immunity. Wherever found he
should be destroyed-in wharVes
and docks and warehouses; in sta
bles, butcher shops, bakeries and
groceries-by cat and dog, trap and
poison. The commission sent by
President Taft to investigate condi-
tions in Porto Rico emphasize the ne
cessity of strictly maintaining defen-
siye measures until the danger OF
invasion has been finally averted.
The present menace had its orr
gin in the Yuman province of China
in 1894. 1t had been absent from
the civilized world for many years
but since that date it has been re-
sponsible for 100000 deaths. In
one year the toll ip) India alone was
estimated at 100000. Following the
commercial highways it has swept
around the world 1t effected land
ing in Hawaii and thence was i'm
ported into San Francisco. 1t at
tackled both coasts of South America,
and steadily advanced up the Span
ish main. Now we have the disease
at our very doors. Twenty-Five
deaths have occurred at Porto Rico
and one at Havana. Thousands OF
rats. alive with bubonic plague feas,
still infest the piers and wooden
of the water front build
ngs at San Juan.
