Ethereal Joy.
(By Edgar f. Ballard.)

The lust, for gold, allowed by youth,
To set the life aslant of truth,
And change the course of noble ways.
And steal from life its brighter
days,
Imparts no joy; effus's no gain,
But sets the captives free insane.
A hope in self to lead the way
OF life, Alright to brighter day,
To fail the evil quickly spread.
And make the pathway bright
ahead,
Is vain indeed; estops the way,
And holds thy talents strong at
bay.
The sexual love unmatched by God,
Unmatched by Him; His way un-
trod.
Presaged by naught excepting lust,
Undoughty brain, precepts as dust.
Evinces care of faulty joy,
And phantom sights that would de-
coy.
The are of God, alone can keep,
And satisfy q billion sheep,
And be a ruler over them,
Their joy, their hope, their only
gem.
And Jesus Christ alone can save,
And keep thee happy to the grave.

Senator Joseph F. Johnston, of
Alabama, died in Washington
City on the 9Th inst. Senator
Johnston was a Confederate vet
eran and twice governor OF the
State of Alabama. In 1907 ne
was elected to the Senate to fill
the unexpired term of Senator
Pettus and was reelected in 1909.
The removal of Senator Johnston
from the senate by death leaves
the democrats in a majority in
that body of but one vote. There
are As republicans and upon the
passage of the tariff bill Sena-
tors Ransdell and Thornton OF
Louisiana will vote with the
republicans. Every democrat
must be present to pass the bill
by the narrow margin of one
vote. Should a democrat be alb
sent then the Vice President can
break a tie by voting. With the
adoption of the Seventeenth
amendment to the constitution
requiring senators to be elected
by a direct vote of the people,
the death of Senator JOHNSON at
this time raises a point that may
seriously embarrass the demo-
cratic party in their efforts to
pass tariff and currency bills.
Gov. O'Neal, acting on the ad-
vice of able lawyers has appoint
ed Congressman Henry D.. Clay
ton to succeed Senator Johnston,
but the question of his being
seated will be left to the senate
who must pass on the eligibility
of it's members. The opinion
prevails that Gov. O'Neal should
have called a special session of
the legislature in order that a
statute could be passed author
the appointment of a SEN
ator by the governor. With the
close margin prevailing between
the parties in the senate the
of Senator Johnston will
a test of the manner in
vacancies shall be filled.

LEE COUNTY HEALTH
REPORT

The report of a County Health
Officer, DR.. J. O. Quincy, filed
with the Board of Supervisors
for the month of June contains
some interesting figures. There
are no epidemics of contagious
diseases reported, but there are
a large number of cases of mala-
rial fever noted in the report.
This is usual for this season of
the year in this territory. There
are 26 cases of typhoid fever re-
ported, II white and 9 colored.
40 cases Of tuberculosis. 25 white
and Is colored. Six cases of
cancer, 5 white l colored. Twelve
cases hookworm, II white l col
ored. Thirty-four cases of pei
legra, % white and II colored.
The appearance of typhoid fe-
yer and tuberculosis among the
cases show a very small per
cent, yet at the same time these
are diseases that can be prevent
ed by proper care. Typhoid fe-
yer is usually the result of the
careless disregard of health con-
ditions and with the extermina-
ton of the fly this disease will
be almost wholly eradicated.
The number of cases of pelle-
gra is surprising, as a few years
ago this disease was practically
unknown. The medical world is
at a loss to know how to treat
the disease and the number of
cases continue to increase. The
health report is published in an
other column.
