The monthly meeting of the Douglas Island Commercial Club was held Sun. day afternoon at A. l.. U. hall. Besides the usual business of the club an at, tempt was made to unravel the prob. lem of the vote to be taken on the license question on May 24th. The testimony of everyone who might un- derstaud the ruling of the court was taken aud discussed, but it was really impossible Go decide whether qualified voters were full citizens, first paper men or simply residents. The question of license or no license was also thor oughly handled, and the club unani- mously decided that it would be im- possible to maintain the city schools without the revenue derived from this source. A special committee to look after the interest of the city was ap- pointed as follows: Martin Olson, Elmer E. Smith, M. S. Hudson, B. K. LeiveTs and Sing Halleck.

Tri-COunty Medical Society Meeting
of Unusual Interest.

The physicians of Lincoln, Pike
and Copiah united in their regular
meeting on yesterday in BrooKha-
ven in a movement that besoeaks
the cordial cooperation of every
man and woman in this section.
1t was the beginning of an edu-
cational campaign for the control
of cancer, an able paper being pre-
sented on the subject by DR. j. Fl
johnson.
DR. j. M. Dampeer of Crystal
Springs spo ke on Cancers and Tu-
mors of the Breast and DR.. Mcleod
on Sarcoma. Dr's. Butler. AIRING
ton and Klotz. of McComb, also en-
tered into discussion of the subject
that demands interest and informa.
tion.
There were about thirty ladies
present at the meeting representing
our City in every direction. They
received cordial welcome from the
organization and another open
meeting is being planned by the AS
sociation which will, doubtless. be
still more largely attended.
Church societies, clubs and la
dies generally arc solicited to coop
crate with physicians in their or
ganized effort against a disease in
which twice as many women suffer
as men and which is preventable.
Information is needed and the Tri-
Medical Association is seeking to
give it.

State Officers at Stake.

There is another question that
seems to be bothering some of the
counties, and that is what names
are to be placed on the ticket for
state Offices The state executive
committee met last week and de-
cIared results. naming those Offices
or which candidates would have to
try. try again, but no official no.
tice was sent out to any county.
1t was taken for granted that the
chairmen of the Democratic COM
miltees would see the newspapers
and know from the reports of the
proceedings of the state committee
what candidates we're to enter the
second primary but it seems that
they do not know, judging from
the inquiries that have been re.
ceived by the Secretary of State.
For the benefit of all such county
executive committees. who are
charged with getting the tickets. it
is we'll enough tu again explain
that the following candidates for
state Offices are in second pri-
mary:
For revenue agent Chas. j.
Moore and Stokes v Robertson.
For land commissioner: Nj. A.
Brown and H. G Woud.
Railroad commissioner, First
District: Jas. K. Mcdowell and
Geo. R Edwards.
Prison trustee: P. E Matthews

escaped last week from the Oakley
state farm, where he was serving a
Is year sentence for murder, was
captured at a late hour Sunday
night in Warren County at the
home of Ashley Mccoy, who gave

rival of a sergeant from the Oakley
farm. probably today, who will
take him back to finish serving his

White, in Jail, made a statement
concerning his escape, saying that
he made a bold dash for liberty,
taking desperate chances of being
shot to death by the guards. He
said that be felt that he would die
if he remained a prison convict,
and took chance of getting away.
he said ne felt that he had been
deserted by his relatives and

their verdict and | am content.
Some may say that should have
kept silent: that since am elected
should make no comment on Gov.
Brewer In reply let me say that
great principles Of government
were involved IN the stand that
Gov. Brewer took, He was not a
candidate; the people did not be-
lieVe he was out for any purpose
uther than to defeat certain candi-
dates for office, and for other sell
fish ends; they now know that it is
true. Therefore, this is either
good or a dangerous precedent; it
means much in the years to come.
The people should not forget it.
"As lieutenant governor / shall
do my very utmost to carry out my
prediction promises. Every citi-
zen, great or small, shall have a
fair and square deal. We need
safe and sane laws. This state
needs sound and progressive ad-
ministratioD, one that will COM
mend itself to capital and good
citizenship to such an exte6t that
we may grow in numbers and busi-
ness enterprises looking to the de-
veIopment of the entire state. To
properly develop this state we need
to so shape the policy of this gov
ernment through sane laws and the
wise and patriotic administration
Of the states affairs that lntelli-
gent citizens and capital will be
drawn to us. Abuse, falsehood.
vilihcat!on and slander of public
men attain nothing good. The
people have twice placed their ver-
dict of disapproval upon this sort
of thing and 1t should be outlawed
forever. No official should object
to legitimate criticism; no honest
official will do so, but the man who

my campaign promises to you, in

the onerous duties OF this high
office, | ask the heary cooperation
of every patriotic citizen OF this
state. To those who opposed me

sovereign right. | only hope that
by faithful service to you in the
next four years may be able to
convince you of your mistake.
Again thanking my friends for
this handsome vote of 1856 and /

Leo M. Frank, convicted OF the
murder of Mary Phagan. factory
girl in a Georgia institution in
which Frank was Superintendent,
was Iynched on Monday night
Since lawlessness is contagious,
it were better that the grewsome
details of the regrettabIe affair be
suppressed The work of the mob
will work injury not only to Geor-
Ria; but to the whole South.
Frank had not escaped p1nish-
ment for crime. The sentence had
only been changed. The law tri-
umphed. 1t was not for the mob
to run ahead of the law and proph-
esy what was to be. The law was
satisfied A ife-imprisment is
surely more cruel than death by
the hangman's moose.
Civilization stands aghast today
at the spectacle presented by Geor-
Ria's consummate outrage.
The body of Frank was cut down
from the tree upon which it was
hanged near Marietta. the home OF
his victim. and was taken to
Brooklyn, N Y, where his pa.
rents reside, accompanied by his
wife. relatives and friends. Mrs
Frank seemed to have expected the
lyDchinR and was not overcome by
the message informing her Of her
husbands fate.
Everywhere the Georgia lynching
should be condemned and officers
should arm themselves for the de-
tense Of prisoners in their charge.
The dispatches represent the prison
officials of Georgia helpless in the
hands Of the Iynchers Of Leo Frank.

should be referred to the medical in

health official. This may prevent an
epidemic of smallpox among the un-

exposure. 1t never fails.
Chickenpox. To parents and
teachers this disease presents much
the same appearance as smallpox.
However, the patient does not give
a history of having had the grippe
three or four days previous. AS a
rule there is extreme itching, but the
child is not confined to the bed. The
vesicles rarely form pustules and the
scabs dry up and fall off within a
week. All exposed children who
have not had chickenpox may be ex-

two weeks after exposure.

Scabies (Itch) Scratching due to
the extreme itching is usually the

FUNIIGATION.

A S result of the European war
"A making 1t practically impossi--
BILE to obtain great deal of potas-
SUM permanganate, the Pennsylva-
MA department of health began ex-
perimenting to find some substitute
Tor the old method Of liberating for
maldehyde gas. Their chemists have
been eminently successful and have
sent out the following method of dis
infection after contagious diseases,
that has been adopted over the en-
tire commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This has the added advantage of
being less expensive than the old
method OF formaldehyde and potas-
SUM permanganate, inasmuch as the
sodium dichromate costs wholesale
now about % cents pound, whereas
the potassium permanganate cannot
be purchased for less than so cents.
The complete formula as furnished
by the Pennsylvania department of
health is reprinted herewith:
THE reaction is produced by a
combination of the sodium dichro-
mate with sulphuric acid. The most
suitable proportion appears to be the
following:
Sodium dichromate, 10 ounces
avoirdupois. :
"Formalin, l pint.
"Sulphuric acid, commercial, III
fluid ounces.
"The sulphuric acid can be added
to the solution of formaldehyde and
the mixture kept on hand for use.
It should, however, be most care
fully handled, as the presence Of the
acid would render 1t destructive to
furniture, fabric. etc.
This solution can be added to the
crystals Of sodium dichromate spread
out in thin layer over the bottom
OF vessel having 10 times the ca
pacity Of the volume of the ingredi-
ents used
"The reaction Is more nearly in
Simultaneous than with potassium
permanganate. This neeessitates a
very prompt withdrawal from the
room in which chemical reaction has
been started.
"The residue Is somewhat corro-
sive and therefore it is well to pull
the tin container out of the room by
an attached cord one-half hour after
the reaction has been started. The
residue should be removed from the
can Immediately and the vessel
scrubbed with soap and water"
