SCARLET FEVER.

There is considerable discussion just
at present over this scarletina cases in
this town, whether scarletina is as
formidable a disease as scarlet fever,
and whether it is contagious by carry
ing the contagion in clothing of those
in contact with those sick with the dis
ct" The following is few extracts
anu conden -ations from DR.. l.. P.
Brockett's excellent work on "Epi-
demic and Contagious Diseases" re-
glrding the disease:
"Thls disease is usually called Scar
letina from the Latin) in the Medical
Treati es."
"Scarlet fever is contagious dis
ease, often epidemic. usually occur
r.ng only once during life; it comes
on with om9 fever and more or less
soreness of the throat, aud on or about
the secon day after the fever begins,
there is scarlet eruption of the skin
followed after time by the falling off
of the dry skin in little scales very
much like those of bran. The disease
comes on at varying period (from
two TO ten days. after exposure to the
contagion. 1t is most frequent in
children from the age of six months to
nine years, but may occur at any per-
10 of life The contagion can be COM
municated by clothing or bedding,
ami maybe carried in the clothing of
,Lr %
ed by it, to a-ehilj in distant home.
There are practically two forms of the
disease, the simple or common scarlet
fever, which is not in itself formid
let fever, which is in its fatality one
of the most serious and dreadful of in
fantile diseases.
''In the great majority of cases of
simple scarlet fever, the disease runs
its course ia seven days, terminating
in tine thro wing off of scales or parti
cles of the DRY scarfskin, which are
larger or smaller as the fever has been
more or less severe
''There are in almost every epidem
ic of scarlet fever, some cases, which
from inherent debility of constitution,
or tendency to irritability of the
brain, lungs, stomach, bowels or
glands, take on malignant type of
the disease. and while those around
them are doing well under attacks ap
parently as severe at first, these sink
down into typhoid form, AMI either
die or narrowly escape death from the
more formidable effect of the disease
upon their imraired constitutions
.sIn tbs most malignant forms of
scarlet fever me, iciae is of little !
avail
Tire same authority advises the
washing of clothing or be 1ding whicl
has been ext csad 10 the contagiun with
carbolic soap freely us,n in the water.
Hence it appears that scarlet fever
and scarletina are one aud the same
disease, that it is contagious disease
and easily spread from clothing or
bedding. and while there is a mild
form any case may develop into the
type from which there is
practically no remedy, or as DR..
B.o.k IL says, "The highest medical
skill can sc ldom do more than slightly
mitigate the pain of the sufferer. p"
All wise people in these days of
chances for contagion will keep their
children from exposure to the disease.
and those who are so unfortunate as to
have case in their family will OBJ
serve the Golden Rule by helping in
avery my 70 avoid spreading the con

for, and undeserved eulogy on the Roman
Catholic Church.
If that so-caled church has not been the
constant and deadly enemy to the progress
of the human race, then history is a shame
less liar.
IF the Roman Catholic Church has not
been the implacable foe of religion, Of the
Bible, of education. of science, of liberty, of
mans independence and woman's virtue,
then some of the most illustrious Roman
Catholics that ever lived have been arrant
sIanderers of their own church.
Arnold of Brescia was devOut Catholic,
but he denounced Roman Catholicism.
HIss and jerome were devout Catholics,
but they denounced the Roman Church.
Savonarola and Luther and Wyclife were
devout Catholics but they could not endure
the denominations and the superstitions of
the Roman Church,
Was it a |great good" when the Roman
Catholic Church closed the schools, burnt the
books, and declared that "ignorance is the
mother Of do0otjon?"
Was it a great good when the Roman
Catholic Church dragged Woman down
from her equality with man, and compelled
her to accept the doctrine that she was Gun
clean" because she had brought sin into the
world?
Was it a great good when the Roman
Catholic Church forced its members to
believe that ma'9lage aoaS so filthy and
c0r71al, that priest must not marry?
Was it a great good when the Roman
Catholic Church slaughtered millions of
God-made human beings, because those
human beings would not bow down and kiss
the Pope's foot?
Was it great good when the Roman
Coth0lic Ch'wch sanctioned slavery, and
every nest of lazy Monks were supported in

And when the Monk claimed and exercised

China is the nation that gives us the belly
ache. China is the heather land from which
we borrowed gun-powder, the art Of printing,
calico cloth and rice culture. China is the
country where the heather sits in darkness,

him to sell Bibles

That's Just what China is-a great field:
and as long as our O0-preachers keep on

and $3.50 for the missionary wife, and 800
extra for every little baby born to the pair,
China is going to continue to need mission
aries.

Baptists have one church in China that is
self-supporting.
After IS years of labor and the spending
of millions of our money, we have one church

He is mistaken. There was no intention on
my part to question the great earnestness Of
DR.. Ayers, nor his entire honesty in claiming
that it was for the glory of the Lord that he
dwelt in a fine house, employed many man
servants and maid servants, Jared sumptu-
ously every day, and then sailed forth to
lecture Lazarus.
Brother MacDaniel pities my ignorance.

so many books, taught school, practised law

But while [ am densely ignorant, [ am

read more missionary papers, pamphlets,
books, tracts, sermons, ETC., than MacDaniel
ever saw, unless he has neglected his work as
foreign missionary more than he should have
done.
In the meantime, advise him to read nv
book on Foreign Missions, before he writes
me another letter.
From that book, he will discover that nay

Judge Fosters Ruling Inn the
Watson Case.


g 0 far as I know, the Judge did not write
- out full decision, or authorize the Off
cial stenographer to give out his remarks
when he made the ruling
The order which went upon the record of
the court simply recited the fact that a
motion to quash the Indictment had been
made, argued and sustained.
In the story published in the newspapers,
the following was used, as the language of
Judge Foster:
cit appears in this indictment, in all three
counts, that the publication alleged to have been
sent through the mails in violation of the law is
an extract from complete article, 1t is clearly
my opinion that the government is required to
plead the entire article The article is obscene as
a whole, or is not obscene, and we cannot take out
few paragraphs here and there and charge them
obscene, and make them he basis of an indict-
ment, 1t may be that a paragraph here and there
is sufficient to impress the whole publication with
obscenty but the defendant is entitled to be
charged with sending the complete article. The
publication is an entire thing 1t is not part or
extract. We would be able to indict sender of
the Bible on this theory. We might take the cpl
sode of Potiphars wife, or the relations of Oman
to his brothers widow, or something of that Sort
and indict just as we'll.
Motion Sustained.
81 not pretending to rule on any other fea-
ture of this Indictment The question of whether
it is obscene if set out in dead language is not
passed upon. On this view [ will sustain the
motion to quash.
'It is possible for the government to re-indict
and make these entire articles part of the indict
ment. 1 think that is due to the defendant in this
case"
The District Attorney, Alexander Aker-
man, made a strenuous effort before the grand
jury to get another indictment. He came
within one vote of doing So
He stated to my leading attorney, Hon. S.
@. McLendon, that he would never be salts
fed until he got an indictment that would
stick
Therefore, when the grand jury meets dur
ing this month, at the regular term, with
Judge Sheppard presiding, the presumption
is that Alexander Alderman will renew his
efforts to get an Indictment that will hold
water.
Whether it will also hold the defendant,
