seems to have been connected with
the spread of Mohammedanism.
The Arabic physicians used opium
very extensively, and even wrote spe-
cial treatises on some of its prepara-
tions. The earliest mention of opium
as a product of India is by the traV-
eler Barbosa, in 1911. A Portuguese
historian, Pyres, in letter to Man
ueI. King of Portugal, in 1916
speaks of the opium of Egypt and
Bengal.
Opium is supposed to have been
brought to China first by the Arabs,
who are known to have traded with
the southern parts of the empire as
early as the ninth century. Later,
SAYS the Journal of the American
Medical Association, the Chinese be-
gan to import the drug in their junks
from India. 1t was not before the
second half of the eighteenth centu-
nv that the importation of opium be-
gan to increase rapidly through the
hands of the Portuguese, and little
later through the famous East India
Company. In 1870 the English es-
tablished an opium depot in Lark s
Bay, south of Macao, and the traffic
RAPIDLY increased, so that very soon
the Chinese authorities began to
and in 1920 an edict was
issued forbidding any vessel having
opium on board to enter the Canton
river. A system of contraband fol-
lowed, then political friction between
England and China, and the social
ed OPIUM war, which eliminated in
the Treaty of Marking (1842) by
which five ports of China were open
ed to foreign trade, and in 1858 OPT
I'm was admitted as legal article of
commerce. By that time the vice of
opium smoking had spread like a
plague over the gigantic empire, and
became so deeply rooted that, in spite

WOMAN NABS OFFICER
NEGRO FLOOR SCRUBBER ON
THE ALERT FOR THIEVERY.

In Her Zeal to Protect Fulton COun-
TVS Court House She Arrests an
Out-of-TOwn Deputy Sheriff.
ATLANTA.-So thoroughly are Of
fcials and employees in Fulton coun-
tvs new court house imbued with
determination to prevent DETACHMENT
of the building and stop thievery OF
| expensive electric light bulbs and 9TH
er fixtures that even the negro scrub
women have joined the crusade. The
late afternoon, when the offices have
closed, is the time they start their
rounds with brush and pail and like
wise the time when thieves are usu-
ally to be found. Clara Guess, a large
sized old colored woman with JoVial
disposition, who scrubs on the nr0t
floor, went so far yesterday in her
zeal to protect the county's property
that she arrested an out-of-town dep
uty sheriff who was in the building
to pay a call to Tax Collector Stew
art. Aunt" Clara saw him coming
out of the office when the tax collec-
tor and his associates had left for the
day, and she stopped him at the door
and took him in custody in the ap-
proved Decatur street fashion of seiz-
ing a prisoner by the arm. The dep
uty tried to convince her he had both
cred nothing and offered to let her
search his pockets for electric light
bulbs, but Aunt" Clara refused to
be drawn into a controversy and set
up a yell for the superintendent OF |
the building, who arrived in few
minutes on the dead run. The depu-
ty was more successful in arguing
with him and was released, but be-
fore leaving the court house he paid
Aunt" Clara a high compliment on
her loyalty in the countys service.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Efforts to build
up a fine library for the convicts at
the state prison farm at Milledge-
vile are being met with considerable
response from all over the state, and
the prison commissioners hope that
within a short time a really valuable
library will be established. There
are about eight hundred prisoners at
the farm, of which over three hum
dred are women and children under
sixteen. They have no way to occupy
their minds or to gain information
after their hours of work, and con-
tributions of books are invited for
them. There is no appropriation for
purchasing books for this purpose
and gifts either of books or money
will be acceptable.

CITY EMPLOYEES

They Hold Their Jobs.

ASHBURN, GA number of i'm
portant resolutions were adopted by
the city council at a recent adjourned
session. AS result of these resolu-
lions all employees of the city must
pay their obligations or they will be
promptly dismissed from service.
They are also now required to pay
for the light and water they consume.
from which they have heretofore been
exempt. The owners of property in
several sections of the city are COM
manded to install sanitary closets,
and other resolutions looking to the
general health of the town were
adopted
Strong resolutions touching the
enforcement of the city laws rela-
tive to order and conduct and the
selling of whiskey were unanimously
passed, and it is generally believed
that this step on the part of the ad-
ministration will have a wholesome
effect. A resolution was also passed
by a majority vote reducing the salar-
ries of the superintendent of light

neer to $45 per month.

The Average Farmers Earnings.

farmer when other subjects run dry
have figured out for the government
Just how much the average American
agriculturist earns in year. After
investigating 438 families in ten
states the experts report that the an
nual value of the food, shelter, fuel
and other perquisites enjoyed by the
average farmer is just $5O5. If he
makes any more than that he puts 1t

further that the average cost of main
tanning each grown person on the
farm was s176, of which only 20 per
cent was paid out in cash.

THE EARLY HISTORY
OF THE OPIUM DRUG
THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF
POPPY JUICE DATE FROM A
REMOTE PERIOD.
WERE KNOWN TO EGYPTIANS

The Arabic Physicians Used Opium
Extensively and Even Wrote Spe-
ciaI Treatises on Some OF Its
Preparations.
The medicinal properties of poppy
Juice date from a remote period. Re
calling the highly developed culture
of the ancient Egyptians one is in
clined to imagine that the narcotic
properties of opium were known to
them: but the Investigations of I'm
ger (1857) have failed to trace any
acquaintance with opium in Ancient
Egypt, and DR.. Ember, of the Semitic
Department of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, knows of no reference to IT
in Egyptian literature. According TO
some Hebrew scholars there is ref
erence to poppy juice in the Bible.
In several passages in the Old Tesla
ment the "rosh" is mentioned. Pro-
fessor Haupt is convinced that "rosh"
means the poppy, and also is Pro-
fessor Post. In the Talmud we have
one reference to opium, under the
name "ophion," but that word was
clearly borrowed from Greek. in the
classical Hindoo literature there is
found no reference to it. From the
time of the Mogul Conquest on there
appears a word "khash-khash,"
which means poppy seed, and
"khash- khasharasa, juice of the
poppy. In this it is easy to recognize
our modern word "hashish;" and so
it seems that at that early date the
narcotics opium and cannabis indica |
were confused with each other. The |
original home of the poppy was in
Asia Minor. From there it was car
ried to Greece at a later period.
Use as Purgative.
1t is not at all certain whether |
was acquainted with the |
juice of the poppy. According to
Wootton he refers to a substance
called mecon, to which he attributes !
a purgative as we'll as narcotic .ac- I
ton. Some think that it was opium; |
others believe that he was referring |
to another plant. In any case, he |
made but very little use of the drug.
The first authentic reference to the |
milky juice of the poppy we find by |
OF the beginning of the |
third century B. c., when he speaks |
of it as meconion. Scribonius Lar
gus, in his Compositions Medica- |
mentorum, about the year 40 of the |
present era, describes the method of
procuring opium from the capsules /
of the poppy, and about the year II |
of the same century Dioscorides
makes a distinction between the juice |
of the capsules and the extract of
the whole plant. He describes the |
method of incising the capsules, and |
refers to authorizations of the drug |
with the milky juices of other plants |
so that it is evident that the collec- ,
ton OF opium was quite an industry
in Asia Minor at that time. Pliny de-
votes some space to a description of
opium and it's medicinal use, and the
drug is mentioned repeatedly by Gel
sus in the first century and by numer-
GUS other Latin writers. Galen spoke
enthusiastically of the virtues of
opium CONNECTIONS, and the drug was
soon so popular in Rome that it fell
into the hands of shopkeepers and
itinerant quacks.
The introduction of the drug to
the natives of the East was through
the Arabs, and in the first instance
to Persia Its introduction into India

depend for their supply OF irrigation

been a heavy precipitation of snow in

danger is passed.
