Weather Permitting.

After many unavoidable delays
work was begun this morning oG tae
laying OF the asphalt on Washington
street. Ii weather conultions permit,
that street will be ope,l for traffic
Wltnin the next ten or twelve days.
The asphalt is the last coating that
goes upon the street, and when it is
down the work will be completed. The
work is being begun on the west end
OF the job.
The paving Of Washington street
has been delayed number Of times
from as many causes. First the
threatened railway strike which caus-
ed the placing OF an embargo upon
freight, delayed the work. The car
shortage has played big part in the
delay and shortage of cement and Of
gravel has done the rest. The work
has been delayed about a month.
The paving is being done by the
Memphis Asphalt and Paving Co. and
is in charge Of MIR. M. G. Hornaday.
The contractors have been in no way
to blame for the delay in the work.
1t is to their interest to complete the
job as quickly az possible for they,
have other paving to do in Greenwood
and desire to start upon the work az
soon as possible in order to avoid hav-
ing so much Of the work to dc in the
winter months. The paving company
has been making every effort to rush

'LEPROSY IS ON
THE INCREASE
DR.. Frederick L. Hoffman Tells Amer-
ican Public Health Association
at Cincinnati. n
(By Associated Press.)

\Dy Associated rreSS.)
Cincinnati, o., Oct. 25.-Leprosy is
apparently increasing in civilized
countries, according to DR.. Frederick
L. Hoffman, statistician Of The Pru-
Dental Insurance Company, who pre-
sented here today before the American
Public Health Association the results
OF study OF the statistics of the dis
ease,
Or. Hoffman said that a conserva-
tive estimate of the number of cases
in this country would be 800 and that,
as shown by the returns from the
State OF Louisiana, the disease is ap-
parently on the increase.
Alluding to his investigation at lep-
er settlements throughout the west
ern hemisphere, and the urgency of a
more intelligent study Of the stats,
tical aspects for the purpose of as
certaining the essential contributory
factors, DR.. Hoffman said an attempt
was being made to bring together, by
uniform and standardized methods,
the leprosy statistics for at least the
principal leper settlements throughout
the world, so as TO ascertain with
greater accuracy the prevailing types
OF the disease, the average duration
before apprehension, and the average
length Of after-treattnent, r
He estimated the known lepers in
the world at not fewer than 100000
Of which the large majority were in
the Far East. Including the United
States insular possessions, he esti-
mates that the number Of lepers sub
jcct to American control is not much
smaller than 5000,
DR.. Hoffman said he was strongly
in favor Of effective segregation and
more humane treatment, especially in
the case Of isolated lepers apprehend-
ed in interstate traffic, and for which,
at the present time, inadequate pro-
vision was made in the majority Of
cases, and adequate provision only in
the case Of three Of four states in the
absence Of complete federal leper su-
pervision and control. He suggested
the establishment Of ., federal lspro..
sarium, in conformity to a bill intro
duced in the United States Senate.
That this measure had not become .
law was regrettable, he said, as mean
while the present conditions of "ill-
considered treatment and lack Of
proper cars" would havs 10 continue,

LIQUOR LAW UPHELD.
Voters Urged to Register Approval
Of Legislatures Action.

Of Legislatures Action.
Okolona, Miss, Oct. 24.-Circuit
court convened here this morning with
Judge Bates presiding. His charge to
the grand jury was clear on all sub
jects pertaining to it's duties. He
called especial attention to the liquor
law to be voted on on the 7th of
November, and explained how crime
had decreased in his district while
the one quart in 1Ndays law was in
effect in preference TO one gallon a
day, as the old law provided.
After charging the grand jury and
before empanelling the petit jurors he
called On Hon. A. T. Stovall to further
speak on the subject, and he respond
ed promptly by commencing and
thanking Judge Bates for his clear
and concise statement of the issue to
be voted On and urged in favor Of the
action OF the Legislature in amending
the Old law. He referred to the fact
that Lhlckasaw county was one of
the. first in the state to adopt local
option and recognized the evil Of
strong drink; that it was a menace to
business morals and the home and in
capacitated its victim for exercising
self-control, and that every time the
people Of this county had the oppor-
tunity to vote they had registered
their judgment in favor Of more strin-
gent prohibition laws and the more
rigid enforcement Of them and that
while everybody in his Judgment IA
vors these restrictions-that is one
quart in 15 days, instead Of one gal
lon per day--yet unless they 60 to the
polls and vote for the new law they
will live under the old law, and they
do not want that. Mr.. Stovall was
heartily applauded when he had fin.
ished.

Cincinnati, O., Oct 25.-The most

here last night. The meetings will con-
tinue until Friday with some 500 pub

not necessary that local health Of
ficer should be a physician. ut is,, of
course, desirable that he be doctor,
If he possesses the other necessary
qualifications" said DR.. Anderson, but

degrees could be entirely successful
as local health officers.
He declared that few cities had yet
