LOWNDES WILL VOTE
ON ISSUE OF BONDS
Public Sentiment Said to be Favor
able TO 100000 Issue For
Coed Roads Purposes

Valdosta, March 1.-THE county
commissioners Of Lowndes county at
their meeting on the first Tuesday in
April will call an election for a half
million dollar good roads bo1d re
in this county. There is Dplt3mtly
an overwhelming public sentiment in
favor of the bonds, and this senti-
ment is expected to grow as the
campaign progresses. The election
will be called for the latter part of
June. The meeting of the COM
sioners held on Saturday formal ap-
plication was made for $500 900 of the
Federal good roads funds, and the
county will be ready by the time this
money is available to match it dollar
for dollar county bonds. The appli-
cation for the Government funds is
now in the hands of State Highway
Engineer W. r. Neel
If the county votes for bonds, as
there is every reason to believe it
will, one million dollars will be put
into paved roads in Lowndes coU Wy
as fast as the work can be done. 1t
is proposed to create a bond COM
mission to handle the funds, and the
bonds VIII DE sold only as needed, or
as fast as the work progress SEES. The
90 miles of graded roads already in
existence will materially reduce the
cost of the paved roads, as there will
be very little grading to do.
A large number Of the county's
prominent tax payers attended the
called meeting of the county commits.
sioners and they pledged their coop
GRAFTON in the good roads campaign
Another bond proposition that is
growing by leaps and bounds is that
for a bond issued to build public hos
nital in this city. The LoWndes
County Medical Society has just pass
ed strong resolutions endorsing the
movement, and many of the city's
heaviest tax payers and most promi
nent citizens express themselves in
favor of it. 1t is believed $4,000 will
bald and equip an institution large
enough to meet the needs of this city
and section, and this will probably be
the amount Of the bond issue if car

The need of a modern public hos
Dital is keenly felt in this city, coun-
~ and in the neighboring towns. At
present there is only one hospital in
Valdosta, a private institution that
has more business than it can ac-
COmodate.

Caloids Better Than Calomel

In Caloids, the new calomel prepa-

calomel and other properties for
which there has been aconstantly in
creasing demand for years. Caloids
act directly upon the liver, but can
not possibly cause gripping or nausea.
This is because the calomel they con-
tain is combined with other drugs
that do not interfere with the proper
action of the calomel, but which pre-

Shortly after December /, 1918,
as President of the Kit and Comfort
Club, Mrs. Buckner called a meeting,
which was held at olivet Baptist
Church, 31st and South Park ave-,
Sunday, December Is, to form a citi-
zens' committee to welcome home the
officers and members of the Eighth
Regiment. Many of the big Colored
politicians and the leading citizens
refused to attend the meetings from
time to time, they contending that
two or three years would yet pass
away before the regiment would re-
turn home, but when it was really
learned that the regiment would soon
be on its way across the deep-blue
sea, then these same big Colored pol
iticians and the so-called leading cit
liens rushed in and grabbed or
snatched all the honor they possibly
could away from Mrs. Buckner, plae-
ing her on what they called the auxil-
larry committee, while they themselves
occupied the high places of honor on
the citizens committee, which she
was instrumental in creating more
than any one else, thereby robbing
her of honors which she had justly
earned by hard labor for almost two
years, while endeavoring to add to
the comfort and to the happiness of
the officers and members of the ''old

HEALTH OF FOOD HANDLERS

There should be systematic physical
examination of those who handle
foods for public consumption.
Two very important reasons why
there should be careful and periodical
medical supervision of this class of
work people are:
l. To protect the patrons of hotels,
restaurants and bakeries from such
diseases as may be communicated by
infected food.
2. To protect and conserve the
health of the workers themselves.
Here are some figures which in
dictate the need for work of this kind
as a means of preventing the spread
of disease. Out of a total of 1890
walters, cooks, bakers and working
proprietors examined in New York
City 1,O79 were found with diseases
and defects which made them dan
gerous to public health. The prin-
cipal ailments and number found af-
fected were as follows:
Syphilis, 10 active cases and 32 sus-
poets; anemia, $40 cases; diseases of
the eye, 112; tuberculosis of the
lungs 10, being a remarkably low
showing for the disease.
Other diseases of interest were:
colds and rhinitis, ITO; acute bron-
chitis, 3; chronic, IS; pyorrhea, 2Os;
pharyngitis, 2O2; tonsilitis, 10; and
consular hypertrophy, 144.
Under the heading, conclusions and
results, the health officials conducting
the examination express the opinion
that the results found fully justify
from the standard of protection of
the public health of community, the
careful, medical supervision of all
those who handle food.
It was pointed out that the exclu-
sion of ten cases of active tuberculo-
sis nineteen cases of syphilis and six
of gonorrhea is of distinct value be-
couse it lessons appreciably the dam
ger of transmission of these diseases
by the affected individuals. Aside
from this there were Is cases of ar
rested and suspected tuberculosis and
80 suspected cases of syphilis which
were put upon probation, a. health
certificate good for 9 period of one
Or two months being issued in order
TO compel a periodic return to the
clinic for reinspection, treatment and
advice.
The New York Department of
Health in cooperation with the ply
sieians of that city are already put
ing into active operation plans for
! wider and more systematic activity
llong these recognized public health
ines.

a letter from. Hon. Martin H. Glynn,
Ex-Governor of New York, a Demo-

endorsing the movement for Roose-

certainly occupied a unique place
and warm spot in the heart of Amer

mortal ought to be illustrative of his

the most versatile man of his time
and, probably, had the largest per-

At present the county seat is the only
place where the court Is held. this
necessitating the going of non-citizens
from this city there in order TO obtain
their first and second papers. A court
in this city would do away with this.
and, Mr.. Cannon believes would re-
suit In more men applying for papers,
as the present method of going to the
county sea- is not as convenient as
would be such an arrangement.
No date has been set as yet when
the night court will open in New

plicants becomes so large that the
present force cannot handle them.
County Clerk Cannon win take steps
to enlarge his staff of assistants.
