MRS. AMELIA WISDOM TURNKEY

Mrs. Amelia Wisdom Turnkey, one
of Clarksville's oldest and most be-
loved citizens, died suddenly at 4:30
o'clock Thursday afternoon. She had
been spending the day with her
daughter, Mrs. E. j. Eagleton, at the
latter's home at the corner of Com
merce and Fifth streets. Although
her general health was feeble, Mrs.
TURNKEY was apparently as we'll as
usual yesterday She occupied seat
at table with the family at dinner,
taking part in the conversation, and
afterwards received several of her
friends who called at the house to
see her. Thus she passed the day,
giving no indication of the fatal
weakness with which she was seized
upon getting in carriage at 4:30 to
return to the home of another daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. w. Rudolph. Noticing a
sudden change in her appearance
Mrs. Eagleton inquired of her if she
felt i'll. Her last words were: 81 feel
so tired"

Mrs. Turnkey is survived by four
children: Rev. w. d. Turnkey of Fort

DECLARATION OF lNTERDE
PENDENCE

When, in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for the
south to strengthen the bands which
connect it with other parts of the
country, a decent respect to the opin-
ions of mankind requires that it
should declare again why the devel-
opment of the south means the en-
richment of the nation.
We hold these truths to be self-ev-
ident, that section blessed with the
natural resources for industry and
trade must be the main reliance for
the healthy life of orner sections
lacking such resources, and that in
the union centering in that section of
the capital of mind, muscle, money
and material resources of the country
is the hope of national advancement.
To prove the strength of the south
for such a union let facts be submit
ted to a candid world.
The south has 4O0O00,000 acres of
lands suitable for farming, of which
less than 200,000,000 are now cultivat-
ed.
The south has 500,000,000,00 tons
of coal to be mined, more than TO-
000,000,000 tons of iron ore, and un-
measured quantities of petroleum,
natural gas, sulphur, lead, zinc and
other minerals.
The south has 25S,OOO,OOO acres of
timber land.
The south has 1900 miles of navi-
gable streams and a coastline of 5000
miles on ocean and gulf marked off
by more than 80 ports handling more
than 5000, 100000 of foreign commerce
annually.
The south has $4,000 miles of rail
ways.
The south's population of 33,000,-
900 is producing annually in agricul-
ture, mining, manufacturing and fish
cries to the value of nearly $S,000,-
100000. 1t is equipped in natural re-
sources for a production three times
as great as that, and with more to
follow
For the union of all sections in a
sharing of the mutual advantages co
be derived from interdependence in
southern development the Manufac-
turers' Record renews it's pledge of
thirty years ago by which it has abid-
ed in season and out of season.-Man-
ufacturers' Record, July 4, 1912.

ONE BED FOR TEN

Nearly 1000 additional hospita
beds for consumptives in 20 states
were provided during the year ending
June 1st, according to a statement
issued recently from the records Of
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo
sis. This makes a total of over 10000
beds, but only about one for every
ten INDECENT tuberculosis patients in
this country.
In the last five years the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
cresed from 14,42S in 1907 to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June 1st;
Massachusetts comes next with $500,
and Pennsylvania a close third with
.2700. Alabama showed the greatest
prcentage of increase in the last year
by adding 81 new beds to its $40 a
year ago. New York has the greatest
numerical increase, having provided
over 1900 additional beds in the year
Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago, when the national association
was organized, there were &c states
in which no hospital or sanitorium
provision for consumptives existed,
and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000.
while these figures would indicate
remarkable growth in anti-tubercu
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
national association, in commenting
on this subject, there are still prac.
tically ten INDECENT consumptives fol-
every one of the 10000 beds, includ
ing those for pay patients. In other
words, we have from 100000 to 300.
900 consumptives in this country toe
poor to provide hospital care fol
themselves. If tuberculosis is ever
going to be stamped out in the Unit
ed States, more hospital provision fol
these foci of infection must be pro
vided."

THE DRINKING CUP LAW

There seems to be disposition in
every part of the state to conform to
the provisions of the law passed by
the last legislature against the COM
mon drinking cup. 1t is we'll that
such is the case.
1t was to be expected that the law
would arouse some opposition and, in
the beginning, would impose some
hardships, but it was enacted for the
public good and to the extent of its
faithful enforcement the public will
benefit. If it shall assist in prevent
ing the spread of disease its benefits
will greatly overbalance any temper
airy inconvenience that it may cause.
That it will so assist can scarcely
be doubted by any sensible person
who has ever given any thought to
the possibilities of harm that lie in
the general drinking cup.
Scientific opinion has condemned
the common drinking cup and cities
and states are rapidly forbidding the
use of a medium so potent for the
augmentation of human maladies. 1t
is an agency of disease that is just
beginning to be generally recognized,
and the setate legislature has done
itself credit in putting a ban on it,
and thereby has taken progressive
stand in legislation for the public
health and welfare. There should be
cooperation everywhere for the en-
forcement of so sanitary a measure,
and there is cause for congratulations
that there is so much evidence of a
popuar desire to observe its provis-

BARON HooFT is BACKING SOUTH

Washington, July 5.-Baron H. D.
w. Fl. Hooft of Rotterdam, Holland,
is in Washington comforting with
Senator Fletcher of Florida, and Dr.
&c. J. Owens, president and managing
director of the Southern Commercial
Congress. concerning immigration of
Dutch and Belgian farmers to the
southern states.
The baron, who belongs to one OF
the most ancient and wealthy families
of Holland, is organizing the Euro
pean Mortgage Company of Rotter
dam, to finance Dutch and Belgian
farmers, who wish to take up south
ern farm lands. Already some OF
these immigrants have settled in
Florida, and more are to be sent
from Amsterdam and Rotterdam tc
other southern states.
''The south should advertise it's i'm
mense opportunities in Europe, like
Canada and some of the western
states are DOING" declared the baron
today.
Some twenty years ago l was in
Amsterdam in the Amitel hotel and
met an American, who told me of the
opportunities in the south My in
terest was aroused, and after a trip
to Florida two years ago, | interest
ed my friends in the immigration pro
ject. We have sent some farmers to
Florida, where they are doing well,
and will soon send others. When l re.
turn to Holland | will make report
to the Dutch minister of foreign af-
fairs on the possibilities existing for
our immigrants in this section of the
United States. p. H. MCGOWAN,

AGAIN, THE CIGARETTE

The most Indifferent observer can
not fail to notice how the cigarette
habit is growing. With all our study,
our new methods, our efforts to tide
the boys over the adolescent period,
we cannot make real progress If we
fail to keep him from the cigarette.
The greatest problem lies just here.
It faces the teacher; it confronts ev-
cry mother who starts her six-year-old
boy in school, She may be sure that
some manly CD boy, perhaps not
much older than her little one, will
offer hte newcomer a cigarette, and
will undertake to teach him the art
of smoking.
There is no question of the deadly
effect of the cigarette. In view OF this
fact it becomes the duty of good men
to deny themselves whatever comfort
they may find in cigar or pipe, in or
der to discourage entirely the use OF
tobacco
A recently published picture OF a
prominent ruler shows him with his
mother on his arm while in his other
hand he holds cigarette. The weed
flaunts itself on the pages OF mucn
present-day fiction. Hero and hero
inc pause in exciting moments to
Civ eeach other a light" Truly
might this be called the age of nico-
tine.
We have laws against selling cigar
cites to minors, but who enforces
these laws? Judge Webb of North
Carolina, in "a recent charge to the
grand jury of Wake county, had this
to say: 81 don't want to be cranky
about any one thing. l don't know
how long I shall be on the bench, but
| want to see young men grow strong.
This is a fast age, and men often do
not take time to raise their children.
They want to make money fast and
get rich quick. They will take cogni-
zance of the death of pig or the loss
of a chicken.
"All this time boys are smoking by
stealth, running running behind the
house, where they can't be SEEN. 1t
would make your heart bleed, if you
went over this state, as / have done.
to see the boys killing themselves
smoking cigarettes. 1t is killing hun
dreds and thousands of them in
North Carolina. And it hurts young
men. l have seen four or five of the
finest young fellows | have ever
known, die from this cause. | have
made up my mind that if l ever get
man who sells cigarettes to boys, he
will get such punishment as will keep
him from selling any more very soon.
When we see boy smoking it is the
duty of every good citizen to put his
arm around that boy and beg him to
quit Mrs. F. L. Townsend, in I'm.
ion Signal.
