COUNTY WARS On
MEDICAL TRUST
Doctors Accused of Combining
to Force Pay increase For
Jones' Public Physician.

Jones county, through its board of
county commissioners, is very much at
war with a local medical trust" COM
posed of all of the Jones county physi-
clans but two, and has brought its
troubles to the Georgia prison commits
sion for settlement.
Commissioner j. d. Roberts. repre-
senting the county board, appeared be-
fore the prison commission today and
advocated the confirmation by the
board of DR.. S. b. Boland, one of the
two physicians in the county willing to
accept the office, under the terms pro-
posed by the county authorities.
When the Jones county board met
early in January to elect a county ply
stefan. it reelected the old one, at a
salary of 1866 per annum. for which he
had been serving for several years. A
short time after his election he de-
clined the job, unless his salary was
raised to $500 per annum.
The board refused to raise the salary
and elected in his stead Dr. P. r
Chamblisk, who agreed to accept, but
afterWard declined, giving as his rea-
son that the county medical society haG
fixed salary of 5000 per annum as the
fit and proper figure for the Jones
county job. and that any member OF
the society who accepted at less fig
ure would be ostracised in consultation
and otherwise by members of the So
ciety. 1t developed that this was the
reason why the former physician de-
clined to serve.
The board then raked around tht
county and discovered two physicians
who did not belong TO the "medica
trust and proceeded to elect one o1
them--Dr Boland-to the Office, at $40(
per annum.
DR.. BOland accepted, and now an eff
fort is being made to have the prison
commission disapprove his selection
for various reasons.
The county board of Jones insist.
upon BOlands confirmation however
and it was to voice that insistence ant
some Indignation that Commissioner
Roberts appeared before the prison
commission today

II is difficult to unders tend how the
president fell from patriotic grace so
far Root talked TO him. Of course.
Lodge talked to him. and SO did Choate,
and the timorous peace advocates who
stand for peace at any cost-peace with
honov or peace without honor. And
that fine judicial temperament balanc-
ing SO finely on both sides of every
question fell over on to the money side
which seems ever the unhappy des-
tiny of President Taft.
But the fact stands central-that this
question of the American right to make
tolls was amply and eXhaustively dis
cussed by president and senate and
house, with full knowledge of all the
conditions, and reached one definite
conclusion-that our government was
within its rights in giving American
domestic vessels free passage. The
senate passed the exempting clause
after England's first protest against it
had been received and considered. a.,
The fact that Sir Edward Grey's sec
ond protest should have upset the pres
ident and excited the Tories and the
ultra peacemakers is comment upon
the undue and unwholesome influence
that English constructions exercise
upon American opinion, and a further
comment upon the unfortunate power
of the trans-continentaI lines and their
active Hobbies
But the American line in senate and
house is unbroken by English selfish
constructions and trans continental
lobbies, and even if it were possible
for the house to be demoralized and
persuaded. so long as the senate stands
firm, and it is sure to- there will be nc
maudIin surrender to England of Amer
ica's absolute right to manage this
Panama canal.

In his memorandum approving the

Britain and other nations from extend

Desperate Trapped in Mine

Bingham, Utah, Dec. l.
Smudgos were lighted early to-
day in the Utah Apex Mine,
where Italph Lopez, desperate,
is making his last stand.
With all exits to the mine ex-
cept that on the Andy tunnel
bratticed and sealed with mud,
with poisonous gases floating
back into the depths of the work
ings, it was expected the fugitive
would make a break for liberty.
A large amount of dynamite is
stored in the mine and knowing
that Lopez could easily blow out
one of the bulk heads, the seven
sheriffs early today stationed a
dozen deputies at each of the 16
tunnel mouths with orders to
shoot him on sight.
The deputies guarding the An
dy tunnel mouth believed Lopez
was overcome this afternoon be-
hind the bulk head until two
hours later they heard scraping
sound followed by a cough.
Late tonight columns of smoke
were rushing out of various tun-
nels showing that certain parts
of the mine were already filled.
In the lowest level of the work
ings smudges were placed direct
Iy beneath shafts leading up in
to the upper level where Lopez
took refuge when he entered the
mine Thursday night.
Smoke was also issuing through
cracks on the top of the noun
tain showing that one of the tun-
nels ran near the surface.
Guards were placed at these
spots.
In case Lopez does not appear
the 8mudging will continue for
another day and night. Then
"A hours must elapse before the
deputies can enter. Although il
IS believed to be slight there is
still the possibility the fugitive
may avoid asphyxiation in some
far corner of the mine.

ers and with the head craned
forward. While the development
of a strong, well-formed chest is
one of the most important factors
in preventing tuberculosis, the
same thing is to be desired if the
disease has once started. Not
only should we live in the open,
but we should stand up straight
and learn to throw a big chest, 4"
so that the lungs can grow strong
and the fresh air be taken in.
The runner, the singer. or any
one who is obliged to make sus-
tanned effort is taught to stand
and sit with the chest high so
that the lungs can be used to the
best advantage. and if every one
would do the same thing there
would be less tuberculosis be-
cause there would be fewer weak

Champion Skunk Farmer

Fairmont, w. Va, Dec. g.
Earl Morris. of Baxter, claims to
be the champion pole cat trapper
of the state and if his stories are
true he has little real opposition.
Reputable neighbors vouch for
the story Morris tells and a barn
which now contains twenty-sev-
en- live skunks is another proof.
Morris will keep the skunks un-
til January when their fur is at
its best. Then he will get his
pelts ready for the market. He
now has a dozen pelts of cats
which were killed in capture.
Morris owns trained dog which
never barks when trailing the
cats. He hunts at night and
wears a small bell which not only
tells bis owner where he is but
also arouses the curiosity of the
skunks. When skunk is reused
the dog maneuvers in such a
manner as to run the animal into
a sack trap the exact nature of
which Morris refured to reveal.
The skunk is then taken alive
and unhurt and placed with the
gang already in the barn waiting
the killing time Morris expects
to have a hundred pelts by spring
worth on an average Of So each

Stand Up Straight and Avoid Tu-
berCnlOSiS

The first essential in the avoid
ance of tuberculosis of the lungs,
or consumption, is to keep the
lungs strong, so that if the germs
are breathed they can do no
harm. One Of the most impor-
tant things in keeping the lungs
strong is to keep the chest wide
open so that the lungs can be
properly used. If the body is
dropped or stoops, or If the shout
ders are allowed to drag forward
(round shoulder), or if the head
IS carried forward instead Of well
back over the shoulders, the chest
must be hattened, the breathing
must be shallow, and the lungs,
not being freely used, become
weak. tits in this type Of chest
