Medical Society

The regular meeting of the Franklin County Medical Society held July 9th, was record breaker for attendance, there being seventeen members pres ent Dr. Warren presided, and others present were: Drs. Gib- bons, T. B. Blakely, J. P. Blak- ely, Wear, Blackburn, Downey, Rambo, Benefield, Weaver, Har- rod, Williams, Post, Turner, Jacobs, Porter, and Douglass.
 Dr. Benfeld presented case of Renal Calculus with infection of the bladder. The case was an interesting one and was free ly discussed.
 Dr. T. E. Blakely talked on the subject of Fee-Splitting. He was frankly heretical on the subject and could hardly be taken seriously by the society. Several took part in the discuss ion.
 Dr. Post talked about Pellagra and asked that the State Health Officer, Dr. Garrispn and Dr. Goldberg be invited to investi- gate what amounts to an epide- mic in this county, there being perhaps fifty cases about Den- ming and Altus. The society in- structed the secretary to extend the necessary invitation. Dr. Rambo said there were ten or twelve cases in his neighborhood The disease seems to be spread ing at considerable rate. It was a concensus of opinion that it is not contagious or communicable. Dr. Black burn said it is a report able disease and all physicians should promptly report it to the county health officer.
 The program for next meeting includes a report of a surgical case by Dr. Harrod, and papers by Drs. Porter and Rambo.

Dies Of Pellagra

Fannie Patch, age 23. suffer- ing from pellagra, was brought down Wednesday from St. Ed wards Infrmary in charge of a nurse, to Mulberry where her people were to meet her, but on account of their extreme pover- ty they were unable take care of her. and as she was resident of South Franklin county the Craw- ford county authorities would not take charge of her, but made up money with which to send her on to Ozark, She and the nurse arrived here on the "dinky." The nurse stated that she could not possibly live thru the night, and told the crowd that collected at the sta
 tion that she would not live un- til a place could be found for her. This proved true for after nurse returned to the station.
 Ten minutes later Fannie Patch, homeless and among strangers, lying on an express truck under an awning of the station, died of perhaps the most serious dis ease ever known in America, a disease for which there is no known cause nor a uniform method of treatment. J. T. Greer & Son took charge of the body. The funeral services were held Thursday morning in Highland Cemetery, the citizens of Ozark paying the expenses.

Arkansas, q number which com pares unfavorably with the 2, 352 in Mississippi, but which is con- siderably greater than the num- Der in several other states. Sys- tematic cooperative work was done during the year in Marion Baxter, Izard, Independence, Cross, and Woodruff counties. In March, 1915, Izard and Sharp counties were freed while educa- tional and demonstration work is being carried on in Crawford, Franklin, and Searcy counties. lt appears from the above that Arkansas is alive to the great loss that it has suffered in pre- vjous years from the cattle tick. In 1910. the census stated that in round numbers there were l5
 
 million cattle below the Texas fever quarantine line as it then expected, and that these cattle represented something more than 270 million dollars. At that time the loss from Texas fever was approximately 13 per cent. or triie over one eighth of the total number of cattle. Thirty four million dollars there fore, was lost annually in the quarantine area thru deaths alone This takes no account of the loss thru shinkage in milk, discrimination in markets, stunt ed growth, and other sources of waste and loss.

A Letter From A Pioneer

Editor Spectator: Seeing your offer to the oldest person writing to your paper l thought l would write. Altho l may not be the oldest, yet l enjoy reading the letters and calling back old times.
 1 was born in Hickman Coun- ty, Tenn. Nov. 29. 1925. When four years old my father moved to Alton, III. where we lived ten years. When fourteen years of age we moved to Arkansas, liv- ing one year in Madison County one year and the next year mov- ing to Franklin where 1 have lived ever since.
 My fathers name was George Reeves. 1 was married Feb. 20, lS43 to Edmond McCallister. We lived together nearly 55 years, and 16 children were born to us, seven of which are now living: Martha A. Jenkins, Nan cy Ballentine, Joanna Ledger wood, Tennessee Martin, J. H.. !, F. M., and A. M. McCallister. l will be 90 years old the 29th of November.
 When we moved to Franklin county we settled down at what is now Mountain Top where William Bateman now lives. Of course the country was thickly settled, the houses of our near est neighbors heinz several miles off, one of the nearest was LeRoy Jeffers who lived where J. 0. Jeffers now lives, Old Rantz Hill who lived where Dr.. kilburn now lives, Hing Turner, father of Dr. Turner of Ozark lived in the Turner Bend; Old Joe kimberlin ran a blacksmith shop on White Oak near where the church now stands, Rufus Bond lived on White Oak at Bond Spring now known as Watalula.
 In April. 1861 my husband en- listed in the Confederate army, joining the regiment commanded by Col. Boone. He was present at the battles of Oak Hill and Pea Ridge where he was taken prisoner. After the war we moved to where Dr. Killburn now lives. and lived there for about seven years; and various other places in Franklin County never moving out of the county. My husband died eighteen years ago last May. at what is known as the Dave Harris place. Since then l have made my home mostly with my son, F. M. Me Callister.

Kidding The State
 Of Cattle Ticks

Washington. D. C., July G. Very nearly one-third of the state of Arkansas is now free from the ticks and the entire state, it is estimated, can be re- leased from quarantine in two or three years if adequate funds are forthcoming. At the end of 1914, 25l. .270 had been spent on the work of eradication, of which STA, l02 had been expended by the Federal government, $75, 293 by the State and SSS4 by the various counties benefited. It is impossible. however. to esti- mate from these fgures the cost of completing the task, for the results Of educational work are not apparent in the release of territory However the people of Arkansas have entered einto the work with enthusiasm almost from the first.
 Eradication would, it Is said, Dc facilitated by q greater con centration of authority. Al the present time the Northeastern Arkansas Ticl, Eradication Asso- citation has charge of the north eastern portion Of the state. while elsewhere the state expert ment station k m control The | Federal authorities are therefor compelled to cooperate with tive independent bodies whose meth ods and policies are not always identical.

The Federal eov- ernment entorees inferste auar= antines, but isnot permitted hN law to build dipping Fate nor to supply dipping materials except for experimental pespoaes. The state and county authorities must do this themselves. and they must aIseeuterce the quar antines on individual farms whose owners refuse to dip their stock in counties where sHstcma- tic eradication work has been undertaken. The necessity for these quarantines IS obvious Ne systematic WmK p mdcr- taken in a counts.uHless the ma jority of the people agree that they wish to make a determined effort to rid themselves of the tick. The obstinate man who refuses to dip his cattle may keep the whole county bac~l. un- less he is compelled to keep his stock at home
 At the end of l9l1 there were 200 dipping vats in operation in

The Cotton Situation

me 10llOWlng statement was made by the Secretary of Agri- culture in a recent issue of the daily Commerce Reports, from which it is printed:
 In considering domestic cotton conditions soon after the out break of the war 1t became ap- parent that a serious situation would be presented for the South in the disposal of it's cot ton crop. At that time it was estimated that the crop would be about IA, 900, GOO bales. IL was known that the leading for eign consuming cotton countries were the belligerent countries. it was assumed that little, if any, cotton might reach Ger many and Austria, that England might probably take not more than three fourths of her usual supply, that France would probably take about one-half, and that Russia's demand would be decreased. Little, if any, thought was given to the poss- ible use of cotton for explosives. and surgical dressings. It was estimated that the Ameri- can manufacturers might take as much cotton as in the preced ing year, perhaps little more. On the whole it was supposed that instead of a carry -over" of something over hundred million bales there would be a carry-over of in the neighbor- hood of from three to four mil lion bales. Many schemes were proposed for furnishing relief, and there were those who felt that if arrangements could be made by which producers could hold their cotton, credit might be extended safely on the basis of cotton at about 6 cents. No safe yrediction was made as to what the price of cotton would be.
 Ten months have passed since the war broke out. Much dis cussion is going on still concern ing cotton exports. and some of it is taking place without a full knowledge of the facts. The leading facts are as follows:
 The cotton crop for 1914, last years crop, according to the last ginning report, was l5. S73, 900 bales. instead of approXimat- ely IA, 900, GOO bales, as was eX- pected. There was a carry-over from the 1913 crop of 1928, 600 bales. There have been import ed during the ten months since the outbreak of the war, ending May 3l, 1915, BOT, 400 bales. There was, therefore, a total visible supply for the current year to date of F, 509, 900 bales. There were exported and con sumed domestically to May 3l, 1915. F, 562. 900 bales. leaving a visible supply on hand as of May 3l, 1915, of 1, 947, 900 bales. The amount exported to foreign countries for the period from Aug. l, 1914 to June II, 1915, is approximately S6S, 900 bales less than for the corresponding period of the preceding year, In this year the exports each month for the first five months of the current year that is, for the five months January May in elusive, 1915 the exports have been greater for each month of the same period of the preced- ing year.
