at the present time, tickets for trans
portation are sold at higher rate than
2ls cents per mile.
I'VE will take up the case of the Nash

has not put into effect the 2h-cent pas

into effect the 215-cent rate, the rate now
charged on other divisions of the Louis
Vile and Nashville.

Cordova, August 21.-tSpecial.)- )-The
campaign against hookworm disease be-
ing waged in this county under the direc-
ton of the state board of health and the
Re ckefeller sanitary commission, con-
tinues with unabated interest and enthusi-
aam. Typhoid feevr and tuberculosis are
also under fire, but special attention is
Icing paid to hookworm The state board
wages these campaigns of about three
morths duration in two counties of the
state at time, after which the doc
tors of. the counties being better ac-
quainted with conditions and the modus
operandi are enabled to carry on the
fight to a successful conclusion.
The people also having had the facts
fully demonstrated to them are willing
to cooperate with the local physicians i'll
stamping out the disease.
The lines proceeded along are three'
First, to convince the people that hook
worm disease exists. and that every in
fected person is a spreader of the dis
ease; second that the disease can be
carried in the system longer than any
known disease while at the same time
being both durable and preventable; third
to demonstrate the extreme necessity for
sanitary closets, where there Is no sewer
system. The campaign opens up III six
towns of a county at a time, with a
stcreopticon lecture, following the next
day by the opening of a dispensary In
the town for the free examination and
free treatment of all eomers The follow
ing three weeks on the same day of the
week the physicians in charge of the
campaign visit the same towns, conduct
ing the dispensary as before.
The campaign in Walker is now only
about 10 days old and many cures have
already been effected. Lectures have
been given and dispensaries established
in Sorona. Patton, Cordova, Empire,
Townley and Jasper and the work is re-
oeiying every announcement in these
places. During the seven hours the dis
pebsary was open here yesterday 200 per-

AGAINST HOOKWORM
BY A. G. SULLIVAN

ready found to be cured of hookworm
disease.
| 1t is necessary to give some the second
or third treatment to effect complete
cure, but all cases yield readily TO the
| iirst treatment.
| The value of the work already done is
hcstimable- Whole families have been
reclaimed from lives where death would
have been welcome visitor, and put in
| rosition to earn a good living. The num-
| Der of persons infested in the different
towns varies considerably and in favor of
| those towns where there are sewers or
| sanitary closets. Many cases are found
| In the outlying country districts among
those coming into town for examination
at the dispensaries. The percentage OF
those infected at this place appears to be
! very low, but exact figures will not be
| known until the doctors in charge make
1 public their report for the first six
! towns about September l.
| The campaign in this county is In charge
| of Drs. Carl A. Grote and ]. Frazier Orr,
for the state board and the Rockefeller
fund, the board of county commissioners
having appropriated sufficient funds to
pay for the medicine used In treating the
patients.
1t is believed the disease can be eradi-
Gated within year in this county if the
present spirit of cooperation and enthusi-
| however. will depend largely upon the
establishment everywhere of sanitary
closets, since the baby hookworm enters
| through the feet from polluted soil, works
| its way through the blood lungs and throat
| to its place of habitation In the small
| intestine, where the life blood of the
patient is sucked out at the rate of about
drop day for each worm.
| Patients have been found to carry as
many as 5000 hookworms. The place wherr
| the hookworm attaches himself also be-
| ccmes festered and poison is thrown
| off into the system. The adult hookworm
| is from half to three quarters of an inch
| long. 1t is estimated that one female lays
| as high as $500 to 1000 eggs a day Fortu-
rate for humanity that never does one of
these hatch within the body, but always
out upon the ground. From these facts
| the importance of sanitation may readily
be seen, and it is hoped the people of
Alabama will continue to cooperate with
| the physicians In their efforts toward
! extermination of the pest.

More than 250 bankers are expected to
attend the conference. Among them will
be members of the currency commission
of the American Bankers association.
Presidents of the various state bankers
association, presidents of banks repre-
senting clearing houses and other rep
resentative bankers. The conference is to
be under the auspices of the bankers
currency commission, which has invited
the financiers of the county to come
together to unite on a plan of action
concerning the proposed currency bill.
large delegation of eastern bankers
and number OF western bankers who
have been in Washington comforting with
Secretary McAdoo are expected here for
the meeting. Col Frederick r. Farms
worth of New York. secretary; William
woodward. president Hanover National
bank, New York, representing New York
banks, and George NJ. Reynold of Chi
cago are among the prominent financiers
expected to take part in the meetings.
The principal objections of the bank
ers to the bill as 1t stands, were stated
today by Charles @. Dawes. delegated to
represent the Chicago Clearing House as
sociation, to be the federal reserve board
members that would be appointed by the
president.
IF this bill is passed. our banking

In reference To these ss,.;.stics, Mr..
Keller SAYS:
The above statistics were secured from

few of the counties keep a separate ac-
count for construction of new roads and
foi maintenance, 1t Is impossible to sepa-
rate the two. No accurate account is
kept as to the mileage of roads construct
ed; however the reports this year are
very near accurate. as we have been
strict in classifying the different type

In concluding his report, Engineer Kel-
Ter says:
MANY have the mistaken idea that
| road building is so simple that any ordi-
nary man can take charge of force of
men and teams and turn out a finished
and up to date road and believing this
firmly, many boards of commissioners
have divided construction work into as
many parts as there are commissioners,
hired foremen regardless of their qualifi-
cations as road builders and proceeded to
build roads according to their own ideas
and usually no two commissioners have
the same idea as to what constitutes a
good road, and how it should be con-
structed, the question of new locations,
reduction of grades and proper drainage
rarely being considered.
This department is endeavoring to
show that the greatest economy a county
can practice is in the employment of a
competent highway engineer who can
easily save his salary many times over
by making beneficial locations. doing sub
stantial work, and above ALL managing
affairs in systematic way.
There are very few experienced high
way engineers in the south and the de-
partment has been handicapped to some
