.DR. MORGAN SMITH
 NOT APPREHENS|VE
Head Of Arkansas State Board of Health Has No Fear of Arkan- sas Becoming Infected
 With Meningitis.

Little Rock, Jan. i7.-Dr. Morgan Smith, president of the state board of health, has no fear of conta- zion in Arkansas from the epi- 1emic of meningitis now raging in Texas. He further condemns as unnecessary the proposition for the establishment of a quarantine al rexarkana, and says the days oi the shotgun quarantine has passed
 Meningitis, one of the most fatal of the sudden contagious diseases, is attributable to a germ communi- eated principally through the nos trils. The nose should be sprayed regularly two or three times a day with weak solution of hydrogen and daily doses should be given Oi urotropian, on a doctors prescrip- ton.
 The prophylactic value of Flex- ner's serum has mol yet been thor oughly demonstrated by medical authorities. On Tuesday Dr. Smill received a message by wire from Surgical General Rupert Blue oi the United States Public Heal 4 and Marine Hospital Service, to the effect that the preventive vaut of the serum has not been thor ouehly proven by experience, buI advising hat it be administered tC the patti as quickly as a diag- | lnosis r 0reence of the disease. ,alue is al- | ready demonsl as 1t has re- duced the death rate from menin- gitis from 80 to 20 per cent of tn, cases involved.
 .Dr. Abraham Sophian, co-woFkel
 with Dr. Flexner, is now in chare'
 of the situation at Dallas, Tex, anC
 one Monday Dr. Reeves of Dalla, advised Dr. Smith by long distanc, Telephone that Dr. Sophian is doins good work and there is a consid- erable reduction in the number
 deaths. He is experimenting witt the serum to test it's value as [ prophylactic. but is confining it: use only to nurses and physicians Dr. Sophian also advised citie- against quarantining.
 Dr. Smith advises that beside; exerting great caution and main taining the greatest cleanliness tt lessen the danger of contagion there is little that can be done al this time A year ago there wer,
 10 cases in Little Rock, but at tn, present time there are none. Somt of the worst cases last year wer, successfully treated by means ot the Flexner serum. A quantity o the serum is being sent to Dr Smith by the government for dis tribution.

FAILS TO ENDORSE SOCIALIST PARTY
Mine Workers Decide That 1t Would Be Unc0nstitutional-- Some Fiery TaIks-Speak-
 CTS DenOunce GOmpers.

Indianapolis, Jan. iS.--By vote of 5i5 to i55, the convention of United Mine Workers today refused to adopt resolutions committing the organization to the Socialist party and approved a sub-measure de- claring it would be we'll if the workers would unite on political as we'll as industrial fields" The res olutions committee had reported it would be unconstitutional to en- dorse any political party.
 Socialists in the convention, after succeeding yesterday in putting 1t on record favoring government ownership of all industries,' had decided over night it would be prejudicial to their cause to press today the resolution endorsing the Socialist party as the political party of the laboring class"
 We decided" said John H. Wal ker, president of the Illinois min CTS, and a Socialist leader, that 1t would be impolitic at this time for the convention to attempt to bind the 300,000 miners in the United States to the Socialist party Re- publican and Democratic delegates expressed resentment against our campaign, and we have no purpose to antagonize them"
 A resolution providing for seces- sion from the American Federation of Labor and charging that Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and other labor leads were in the grasp of the capitalist class through the in- fluence of the National Civic Fed eration, was defeated.
 John Walker, president of the H. linois miners, speaking for the so- cialists, intimated that if necessary an effort would be made to amend the constitution so that the nation Il union could indorse the Social
 st party.
 In a fiery speech he said: If you will not listen to our pleadings you will pay the cost" The "capitalistic parties" he said, possessed the power to en- force iniunctions to kill. if neces- sary,' and he urged that the work ing class should seek political pow ar, so that If there is need to use the injunction and the bayonet they
 will be used in the defense of your ireside."
 Protesting against the campaign of the Socialists in the convention
 James Mooney, president of the Missouri miners, declared the dele gates could not pledge the Mine Workers of America to any politi-
 cal party"
 "I have just as much right tC
 force you to join the Democratic
 or the Republican party, as yor
 have to bind me to the Socialist party" he said.
 Shouted applause greeted Will
 liam Hines of Fayette City, Pa. Adolpha Germer of Bellville, III. and other Socialist orators as they charged the Republican and Dem | 0cratlc partleS With 1altDleSSneSs to the miners cause.
 Samuel Gompers was character ized as a "reactionary" by Thoma:
 l.. Lewis, formerly national presi- dent of the miners.
 "As long as Gompers is at tn, head of the federation, it will op- pose the general industrial organ
 ration as contrasted with the sep
 arate crafts union ideas" he said
 but the time will come when lead CTS in the federation will be con- pelled to step down or come over
 to the principle of closed forma-
 ton work for the benefit of the
 whole laboring class"

NOW DENOUNCFS TEDDY
AS Big TRAITOR
LaFOIIGtte'S Friends Getting
Knives Sharp

Milwaukee, Wis, February r.
Theodore Roosevelt is openly accused
of political theachery by some of the
closest friends of Senator LooFllette
in Wisconsin.
They charge that MIR. Roosevelt pos
itively assured Mr.. LaFollette that he
would not be a candidate for president
in 1912. They assert that during the
dark hours of the progressive move
ment, when even the most hopeful
could see no hope of defeating the re-
nomination of President Taft, Mr.
Roosevelt drove from him all who
would suggest that he become a can
didate but after Mr.. LaFollette had
taken the leadership of the forlorn
hope, had converted it into a poten-
tial political force, and had reached
the point where he believed he could
see victory, Mr.. Roosevelt stepped in
to try to grab the fruits of victory
The Milwaukee Journal, Mr.. LaFol-
lette's staunchest supporter in the
west after enumerating the incidents
which led it to the conclusion that the
Wisconsin senator had been the vic
tim of double-dealing on the part of
Mr.. Roosevelt, says editorially that
the denomination of President Taft
might be fraught with less evil than
the nomination of Roosevelt.
In it's news columns the Journal
credits Mr.. LoFollette with saying he
never will lend his support to a nina
who does not publicly and in an I'M
equivocal statement adopt the princi-
Piles of progressive government. This
is regarded as being a direct drive at
Roosevelt

Miller-F auser was before SUI

years ago. She lived two years with
her first husband, six months with No.
2, three months with No. 8, two
months with No. 4, and five years with

band whom she is now suing.

lands Riding Academy, and that he
told ar: 3e was sorry she didn't get
Hubby No. while visiting at Hot
Springs, Va, year ago.

]. 7. GRAVES
A NATIVE OF
LEE COUNTY
WAS BORN NEAR LEESBURG
His Father Was a Well Known
Resident of That County

Leesburg, Ga, February 12-The re-
turn to Georgia of John Temple
Graves to direct the editorial work on
the Atlanta Georgian recalls the fact
that Mr.. Graves was born on the old
Graves estate about six miles south
east of Leesburg.
General Graves, the father of
John Temple Graves, resided in this
county for a number of years imme-
diately after the close of the civil war,
prior to the time when he moved to
Atlanta to make his home there John
Temple Graves himself resided here
only during few years of his life.
General Graves was a schoolmaster
for several years during the recon-
struction period, having taught a
school near here. A school building
still stands on the site where General
Graves once taught, the place being
several miles east of Century on the
Heath estate.
The splendid success that has been
met with by John Temple Graves since
he entered newspaper work in At
lanta a few years ago and then be-
came so we'll known in New York with
the Hearst papers is matter of graf
ificatiOn to many of the older resi-
dents of the county who knew Gen
eral Graves and his son when they
resided here. His career at the head
Of the new Georgian will be watched
with interest
