Bathing Pool Danger.

mo voice was raised against the ex-
clusion of persons suffering from COM
municable forms of tuberculosis from
bathing pools used by the public or by
the various members of organizations
1t is apparent that the occasional TAX
ing of water into the mouth and blow
ing or splitting it out again, which oc-
ours in the course of the swimming. is
liable to leave in the swimming pool
even under the most careful conditions

to be taken into the system of some
other swimmer.
ION the whole. the attitude of the
speakers generally seemed to be a re-
markedly fair and reasonable one, and
it will doubtless further the promul-
cation of regulations along the line
of those proposed. OF course. the clos
ing of the hearing did not close the
time or opportunity for suggestions,
and the Commissioners will be glad to
have letters pointing out improvements
in the proposed regulations. The only
desire of the Commissioners and the
health officer is to have such regula
tons promulgated in the most effective
form with the least possible delay"

DR.. Woodward's Views.

In an interview yesterday. in which
he discussed some of the reasons why
! the regulations should be adopted. DR.,
Woodward said:
THE practical unanimity with which
all of those who spoke at the hearing
agreed that the exclusion of tubercular
pupils and teachers from schools was a
necessary precaution against the spread
of tuberculosis would seem to leave no
alternative other than the adoption Of
some regulation to accomplish that end
The president of the board of education
appeared to regard exclusion unneces-
sary, because it had been stated at the
hearing that there were probably not
more than ten or twelve pupils acting as
centerS of infection. and because, there
fore. the situation was not grave enough
to call for action. The records of the
health department show. however, that
during the year 1915 there were reports I'd
12I children between five and fourteen
years of age suffering from communica-
BILE forms of tuberculosis, forty-thr
white and eighty-four colored, many Of
whom are certainly in attendance at
school.
The condition of these patients was
recognized through the very physicians
in attendance on them, who reported the
cases to the health department Doubt
less, in view of the actual facts. the

of school children from infection by tu-
berculosiS. by the exclusion of active
cases, and will take appropriate action

pupils.

SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE.

Sumter is beginning to wage a strong
fight on the boil weevil. The work is
getting under way, and with a re-
markable cooperation from the people
Of the county.
The boil weevil is here are brought
in from every section of the
ravaging work of the pest-and the
boil weevil has not begun its real
terrifying work
One example of Georgia farmer is
shown in the following editorial from
the Savannah Morning News:
j. E. Trowell, farmer near Broxton,
Coffee county, recently sold his to.
bacco crop. He planted five acres and
when he deducted from his gross re-
ceipts the cost of the fertilizer used,
the cost of cultivation and curing and
of the freight and commissions, and
allowed for the rent of the land used,
he took profit of nearly $500. Coffee
county was not the pioneer Southeast
Georgia county to take up tobacco as
money crop, but evidently one of
it's farmers has learned how to make
money out of tobacco. The truth is
that Georgia soil will grow almost any
thing when good farming brains are
mixed with it. Georgia ought to raise
about everything she needs for foods
and feed, and her tobacco. When she
dose so she will be happier, more pros
porous, and she will not have to spend
cottno money for something to eat. The
soil is all right. 1t will produce
great variety of crops. But it will not
produce them unless they are planted
and cared for That puts it squarely
up to Georgia farmers.

THE YALDOSTA SPEECH.

The people and the press of Geor-
gia took it as facts that the speech
which appeared in last Fridays AT
lanta Constitution, purported to have
been delivered at Valdosta by Hugh
NJ. Dorsey, was correct. The Consti-
tuition is Dorsey's organ, and each
should know the sounds of their cavell-
ings.
But, the Valdosta Times, a paper
noted for its conservative thought and
fair statements, has an editorial dis
counting the wonderful Valdosta
speech. The Times should know-it
lives where the Constitutions date
line was supposed to have been born.
