LET THE PEOPLE SPOON"
No Special Danger in Kisses, Says
Physician.

kissing as general proposition
was approved today by Dr.. ]. F. Ed
wards, head of the city bureau of in
fectious diseases, as against the at
tack against it by DR.. Young, Chica-
go's health commissioner.
kissing is as old as the human
race" said DR.. Edwards. What
harm in there in it? 1t is not the
puny creature that sits around and
spoons. Usually the men and wo-
men addicted to this love affection
are strong and healthy. The weak
lings do not have enough energy to
spoon.
There is no special danger in kiss
ing, and as a general proposition it is
not dangerous. I believe that ma
jority of the medical profession is OF
the same opinion.
Let the people spoon. Pitts

History i'll Stamps

Every one who has collected
stamps must have noticed the sur
prising absence of sovereign's heads
from those of Turkey. This is
due, to the fact that Mohammedans
consider a representation of the hu-
man face or figure unlawful. There
fore Turkish stamps carry the cres-
cent. which the Turks borrowed from
the Byzantines after the fall Of Con-
stantinople. They also used a COM
plicated, arbitrary sign, supposed to
be the signature of the sultan.
Egyptian and Grecian stamps are
peculiarly expressive of the history
Of the countries which they repre-
sent. The pyramids, the mystic
Sphinx, tall palm trees outlined
against the night sky, train of cam
els stopping to drink from the river
Nile, all carry us back to the very be-
ginning of history and remind us
that Egypt, the mother ofcivilizatlon,
is still called by her ancient name
and is yet a growing power in the
world she has known so long.
Beautiful, artistic Greece, the
home of beauty, from which our
sculptors and architects draw their
finest inspirations, gives us pure clas-
sic lines on her stamps, which show
the famous discus thrower, Hermes
of the winged feet, or chariot race,
or tall, slim vase, an antique mold.
The stamps of Persia show the
lion and the sun-the lion as SYM
Dol of power and the sun as an en-
blem of the ancient fire worship of
the Persians.
Korea displays the plum blossom
on her stamps. 1t is the royal flower
of her last dynasty, a dynasty which
reigned for 500 years, until the hardy
little Japanese wrested it away.
The Mexican stamp bears the coat
of arms of the country, an eagle on a
cactus, holding a serpent in it's tai
one. This device is the outgrowth of
a legend that the first Aztec settlers
chose the site of their city from see
ing an eagle so engaged, and situated
at that spot-New York Evening
Post.

State Board Deadlocked.

Columbia, Sept. 1.-THE State
board of canvassers, after long and
rather heated meeting this morning,
deadlocked on the appeal from the
Williamc burg county dispensary
board and adjourned sine die without
breaking the deadlock. Under de-
cisions of the Supreme Court in such
cases the action of the Williamsburg
county board in declaring the advo-
Gates of the establishment of the dis
pensary had won the election stands
and the county will take it's place in
the ranks of the "wets." 1t was said
here this morning that the prohibi-
tionists will appeal to the Supreme
Court.
After an all day session yesterday
the State board of canvassers went
into executive session last night and
decided to throw out the election in
Sumter, thus giving the prohibition
lists that county. They affirmed the
decision of the Lexington county
board in declaring the dispensary
winner there and then tied up hard
and fast, 3 to 3, on the appeal from
the action of the Williamsburg board
in declaring the dispensary victor
there. A recess was taken un-
til 1880 this morning and after more
speech-making and somewhat heat
ed discussion the vote, to 3, remain
ed unchanged and the matter was
left deadlock, being, however, a vic
tory for the dispensary forces. It is
understood that Secretary of State
McCoWn, State Treasurer Carter and
Attorney General Peoples voted to
approve the Williamsburg board in
declaring the dispensary victor, while
Comptroller General Jones, Adjutant
General Moore and Chairman Stan
ley, of the house committee on priv
ileges and elections, voted 70 reverse
the illiamsburg board and declare
the county dry"
1t is expected that the contests
from each of the three counties will
be taken to the Supreme Court on ap-
peal from the action of the State
board

made seevral recommendations in refer
enee to the health of the city.
DIR. Rosser made the following recon-
mendations:
THAT owing to the thicklv settled con-
ditlon of the suburbs of Birmingham tnat
a more rigid inspection be made; espe-
cially is this made apparent from the
large number of cases of typhoid fever
reported above (57S eases reported, "A
deaths); in furtherance of this recon-
mendation there should be appointed at
least two or more inspectors whose duty
would be to go over this and other
portions of the county at regular inter
walls SO that steps might be taken to pre-
vent epidemies of all kinds as far as pos
sible. The physicians of the county could
materially aid in this work If they would
more carefully report any infectious dis
ease coming under their attention. An
inspector in a neighborhood would ma
terlally stimulate the dereliet physicians in
this respect. An active campaign should
be instituted by the health department in
regard to tuberculosis. From this dis
ease there were reported 47e new cases.
80 deaths.
THE schools of the county are receiv-
ing practically no attention. In one Sec
ton near the Birmingham waterworks
plant I treated % cases of hookworm
without charge. An epidemic of diphtheria
might at any time assume alarming pro-
portions. These and other conditions can
only be met by careful and rigid inspec-
ton.
THE state laws are Inadequate to cope
with conditions in communities of so large
proportions as Jefferson At the first
meeting of the legislature there should
be, after cinsultation with the state
board of health and jefferson county a
system of health laws introduced with
especially reference to the needs of JEFF
ferson county.
1.-THE death record has been for the year
about what it should be. but the report
of births is III short of the proper ratio.

exceedingly obnoxious except the rigid
prosecution of delinquent doctors and

At the Bijou

Those perennial fayorites Ward and
Vokes, and the effervescent Lucy DAILY
are at the Bijou this week
In their present vehicle of amusement
there is some semblanee of plot but 1t
does not worry the audience with its
intricacies. What the audience gets in
ample quantities is comedy of the Ward
and Vokes variety-that is bright and
snappy. The old slap stick was con-
spicuous last night for its absence, al
though a miniature slap stick was used.
in the telephone speciality There are
tuneful songs and graceful dances, bril-
liant costumes and a chorus-the usual
Ward and Yokes chorus of pretty spright-
ly young girls that sing just a little bet
ter than other choruses that wander in
Birmingham through the dreary winter.
The costumng was gorgeous and in good
taste Throughout the whole perform
ance none of the chorus or principals
came out in costumes that would place
them in danger of catching pneumonia
As to the principals of Ward and Vokes
their excellent eccentricities are so well
known to Birmingham that words are
supernuous in diatng any further on
them. The same applies TO Lucy DAILY.
TO many last evening she pleased even
better than Ward and Vokes She Is
just as sprightly as ever and misplaces
previous visits to birmingham. Her
dancing and singing continue to be the
feature of the Ward and Vokes shows.
or the other principals Jack Atkins,
the crazyologist stood out for his clever
work. His speciality is< something new
that is it takes more nerve to present
1t than most alleged actors have. Dan
DAILY, Jr played well the small parts
that were allotted TO him. His posing
in, f,,,t,a ion nf Iat. fott
brought back memories to the older thea
tregoers of that premier light COM
edian of the past-Dan DAILY. Tony Will
liams and Richard Barry were very good
as the banker and the rustic detecti.e.
and the other small parts were filled cap
ably.
+ OF the songs, My Girl From Old Ber-
muda Isle was the most tuneful. The
others songs were all good and Miss DAILY
in "And the Green Gvass Gwowed
