usual symptoms, but not so severely
as is ordinarily the case; in such
| cases the patient may die, after lin
gering weeks or months; or may
make a protracted recovery, with
frequently partial paralytic condi
tions that permanently remain.
Treatment-The antimeningeal
serum treatment has very materially
reduced the death rate, but for this
method to be effective it is highly i'm
portant that it should be begun early
in the course of the disease.
Mode of Infection.-As this disease
is one that is due to a specific germ
it is obvious that it cannot exist with
out the presence of this organism;
the malady is therefore infectious,
must necessarily be to a certain eX
tent contagious, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is generally thought not
to be so. The reason that the affec
ton has not been thought to be con-
tagious may be explained by the fol-
lowing facts: Recent investigation
has shown that in many, if not all,
instances of this disease the germ
may be found in the nose and throat,
where, as has already been explain
ed, it sets up condition resembling
an ordinary COLD. In all probability
the infection takes place in the nasal
cavity first, and the germ ultimately
finds it's way to the coverings of the
brain. Now there is every reason to
believe that in many and probably in
a great majority of instances the
germ goes no further than the mu-
cous membrane of the nose, and the
patient merely has as a consequence
what he considers an ordinary cold.
It is clear, however, that if another
individual, who was very susceptible
to this germ, should contract the
disease from this person he might
have the meningeal form of it. In
other words, it is probably true that
the vast majority of people who are
attacked by this organism simply
get colds as a Consequence, and only
now and then does a person get men
nights as result. This explains why
the disease does not ordinarily APP
pear contagious.
People who are exposed to those
having meningitis should be exceed
ingly careful not to get upon their
persons any of the secretions that
come from the patient, and during
periods of epidemics. those who OBJ
serve a bad cold coming on should
promptly consult their physicians
and do everything to prevent the de-
velopment of all catarrhal conditions
in their noses.
During epidemics persons with
colds should be very careful not to
allow other people to become infect
ed from them. AS cold and wet are
undoubtedly predisposing causes to
colds it is well for every one to shun
such exposure during periods when
meningitis is prevalent; facilitating
influences, such as alcoholic excess
and lack of sleep should also be
avoided.
/ 1t is considered wise for those ex-
posed to the disease to be vaccinated
with the mening o-bacterius. This
preparation, as we'll as the serum,
will be cheerfully furnished by the
State Board of Health to physicians
free of charge.

DIR. PARK OF STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH HAS BEEN HERE
SINCE SATURDAY.
ALL THE VICTIMS ARE NEGROES

There Have Been Three Deaths, One
of the Patients Dying This Morn
ing. What the Disease Is, Its
Treatment and Mode of Infection.
According to DR.. E. R. Park, of
the state board of health, who was
called to Dawson Saturday for con-
sultation with DR.. Guy Chappell,
there are several cases of cerebro
spinal meningitis in the county, all
of the victims being negroes.
When Dr. Park arrived he dag
nosed the illness of three young ne
groes of one family, who were sick
on the farm of Mr. Robert Cannon,
two miles west of Dawson, as menin-
gifts. These were Evergreen Smith,
aged Is years; Minnie Jackson, aged
10 years, and Mamie Jackson, aged
six years. DR.. Park also states that
there have been two cases of the
disease near Brentwood, the victims
being Dave Newkirk and his daugh-
ter, Annie Newkirk, both negroes.
Dave Newkirk is said to have i'm
proved considerably and has left the
community.
The three patients on the farm of
Mr.. Cannon went there from Dawson
two or three weeks ago following the
death of their mother, Lottie Jack
son, and her baby, year and
a half old, their death resulting
from something that resembled men
nights The report became current
among the negroes that the mother
and child had been conjured, and
before they died large crowds flock
ed to the home to see them.
Evergreen Smith died this morn
ing, and was buried under the direc-
ton of DR.. Park. He had the grave
diggers to leave after finishing their
work, and the body of the girl was
placed in the coffin and buried by
two men who had been exposed to
the disease.
DR.. Park has quarantined all Of
the victims of the disease and yacci'
mated everyone who has been expos
ed and does not apprehend an cpl
demic. He will remain mere IL

MILLEDGENILLE, GA, Feb. Is
When Miss May Belle McMullen, the
pretty clerk in the postoff1ce here, re-
signed her position today she put one
over on Uncle Sam by announcing that
she had been a married woman for
eighteen months.
About two years ago Miss NIcMullen
was employed in the census bureau at
Washington, and while there she met
Henry Sheledy, a young clerk in the
same office. They were married and
their marriage kept a secret, as the
government does not permit married
women to hold positions.
Soon after their marriage Sheledy
went to Missouri, where he entered
college, and Miss McMullen was trans
ferred to the postoffice here. No one
had any knowledge of her marriage I'M
til she resigned today and left for the
West to spend the remainder of her
days in happiness.

ANTS CALL VOTE

Women of Nation, Enemies of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Seizing
the psychological occasion when the
suffrage mixers from New York ar
rived in the national capital to take
part in the inauguration of President
elect Wilson for the advertisement of
other propaganda, women opposed to
suffrage held a rally here tlhs after
noon in the Belasco theater. The meet
ing, which was national in character
being held under the auspices of the
national association opposed to suf-
frage for women, was addressed by
Mrs. John Martin, of New York, wife
of a famous editor and publicist and
herself we'll known as a writer. Repre-
sentatives of sixteen state organiza-
tons opposed TO suffrage for women
were present.

is true that women in industries pro-
duce considerable quantity of our ma

some day it will be seen that the fore

ever perpetrated against her, for it has
deprived her of the reason for her ex-
istence.

The family rests upon the love OF
women and children for each other
not so much upon the love of men and
