POSSIBLE TO PUT AN END TO SMALLPOX


tules have dried up and scaled off
and the skin over them is smooth.
Sometimes great pits are left in the
skin which disfgure the patient for
life
The disease in the United States
of late years has been of the milder
type, said by some TO be due to the
less yirulent strain of the infection.
Notwithstanding this there have been
severe outbreaks at various points in
the United States with an excess
sively large mortality. There is no
guarantee that the next outbreak in
Georgia may not be of the severer
type, exacting heavy death toll.
But mild or not, no one wants
smallpox; no one wants it around
him. An absolute and certain meth
cd of prevention has been known for
more than a century. In 1870 Edward
Jenner, an English physician, heard a
dairymaid say: II cannot take that
pox." Impressed by this staement
he spent quarter of a century in
studying the problem, announcing
his discovery in 1898 He inoculated
boy with cowpox. Six weeks later
he inoculated him with virulent
smallpox virus, and no i'll effects fol-
lowed; although frequently inoculat-
ed thereafter the boy never took the
disease. Just in proportion as the
practice of vaccination spread after
that date the scourge of smallpox
diminished. 1t was the virus from
the COW that protected the boy; it is
the same virus, made under approved
sanitary conditions, that protects
those who are vaccinated today.
That, briefly, is how vaccination
came about; time and tests have
proven its effectiveness and value be-
yond all question In Germany,
where every person must be vacci-
mated. smallpox has practically disap-
reared. In the same manner small
pox could be made to disappear from
Georgia, or from the United States,
within three weeks never to return,
except in imported cases, which need
not be quarantined, as no one could
contract the disease from them.
Every child should be vaccinated
as soon as possible after the third
month of life, or sooner after birth
if smallpox is prevailing in the neigh
borhood. At seven years vaccination
should be practiced about once in sew
en- years. If the first two are success
full the subsequent takes" will be
mild or the virus will not take at all.
Communities, states and countries
which have practiced this system
have effectively eradicated smallpox,
and so Georgia might rid herself of
the disease for all time

SETTLED RAILROAD SUITS
One Against the Central COmpromis-
ed, and Another Against the Sea-
board Withdrawn.


Two railroad damage suits have
gotten out of the courts within the
last few days
Mr.. Ben Petty of Brentwood, who
was suing the Central railroad for
$500 damages, has compromised the
suit for 800. 1t grew out of the
fact that Mr.. Petty failed to have a
ticket when he boarded the train at
Brentwood for Dawson, and was re
CURED by the ticket collector to eth
er pay the conductors fare or get
off the train.
Mr.. Petty offered to pay the regu-
lar ticket fare, but refused to pay
the conductors fare, and got off
and walked back to Bronwood.
He alleged in his suit that
he could not buy a ticket in Bron-
wood because the Office was closed,
while the railroads contention was
that Mr.. Petty did not appear at the
station until the tarin was stopping
at the depot and it was necessary for
the agent to close his office and meet
the train.
Mrs. w. S. Jennings of Parrot,
who was suing the Seaboard for ST.
500 damages because of injuries re-
sulting from jolts and jars while a
passenger on the train from Dawson
to Parrott, has withdrawn her suit, it
being barred by the statute of limit
alton.

BURGLARS BUSY AT sAssER.
Several Residences in That Town
Have Been Entered Recently,

An epidemic of burglaries is re-
ported to have occurred in Sasser
recently, no less than four or five
residences having been entered. At
one place the midnight intruder was
discovered and shot at as he was
leaving.
Nothing of much value has been
missed, though one citizen lost the
pistol he had for protection against
just such visitors. The burglar also
threw this citizens clothes on the
floor and wiped his feet on them.
The home of two negro women in
Dawson was entered a few nights
ago. The burglars, who are said to
have been white men, warned the wo-
men that if they kept quiet they
would not be harmed, and then pro-
ceeded to ransack the room for
money.

Leap year is about gone, and few
of them have availed themselves of
the opportunity of proposing to the
young men of their choice.
Instead of the number of marriages
having been increased, as is naturally
expected when the boys and girls
both have the privilege of popping
the question, statistics of the mar
riage licenses in Ordinary Cheat
hams office show that there have act
ually been twelve fewer weddings
of white couples in 1912 than there
were in 1911-the figures this year
being Al against SO last year. In
other words, instead of the young
ladies taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity which presents itself only once

or never fewer of them by an even
dozen have yielded to the pleadings
of love-lorn suitors.
The number of negro marriages
show a still greater falling off, IL
censes having been issued to 1873
couples against 237 last year
The statistics show some interest
ing facts, and to an extent change
some of the popular thoughts on mar
riage. Many people think of June
as the month of marriages. 1t is a
month, but it has never been
the largest month of blushing
brides. December takes the lead, and
more young women change their
names the last month of the year
than in any other.

FINANCE AND WAR.

Most persons when they speak OF
the possibilities of war do not con.
slider the important part played by
the bankers and other financial inter.
ests War has been transferred
from the realm of feeling to the
realm of economies and finance.
When nation declares war today
it must first borrow money. This
money is controlled by the great fl
the great European nations have war
debts so great that probably they will
never be able to pay them off. These
debts are controlled by the same set
of bankers to whom requests for
further loans must be made.
The war debt of Europe is now
twenty-siX billion dollars. The an
nual interest is more than one bill
lion and the annual cost of warships
and soldiery is an additional two bill
lion. These nations have about
reached the limit of Indebtedness.
War scares will in all probability con-
tinue to thrive. but those who would
have the great nations of the world
continually on the verge of conflict
must not forget the financial inter-
eStS.
If the bankers say no. war is
scarcely possible. And the chances
are they will say no. with the great
demands of commerce and business
always uppermost in their minds.

GOOD ROADS AND PROGRESS.

Missouri lost : per cent in rural
population from 1900 to 1910.
Before Massachusetts improved
her highways through state aid,
abandoned farms dotted the state
Now Massachusetts has no aban-
doncd farms.
The rural countries in Western
Virginia and Tennessee that lost
population during the last decade
are counties with notoriously bad
roads.
In 1904 1-2 per cent of the
roads in Missouri We're improved.
The census of 1900 showed that So
000 Missourians We're illiterate. In
Massachusetts A. per cent of the
roads We're improved, and only 3
600 people We're illiterate. In five
good roads states the average
school attendance is - per cent: in
five bad roads states school attend
ance is is per cent less.
Good roads pay big dividends in
increased Intelligence, in conven-
ience and in Money values
