TO THE WOMEN OF MISSISSIPPI

My Dear Friends:
1t is the incumbent upon all women,
now that women have received the
right of franchise with all of the
rights and duties of citizenship, to
register without delay so that they
may be qualified to vote.
Our state laws are such that Mis-
sissippi women will not have the priv
ilege of voting in the national cleo
in November. State and municipal
elections may occur any time. 1t is
our duty to be prepared to express
ourselves formally on all state and
municipal affairs. We women want
the ballot, not as an ornament, but to
enable US to help put into office such
candidates as will look on public of
fice as sacred trust. 1t is our am
bltlon that women shall purify, not
merely increase the volume of the
stream of politics.
No woman with true sense of pa
triotism should fail to vote. Before
Mississippi women vote they should be
registered four months. Club women
can make registering so popular in
Mississippi that it will be considered a
duty and privilege to register
promptly. Let us bear in mind that
those who vote control the country.
and those who do not will have to sub
NIT. Club women will never belong
to the non-voting, non-effective class
of citizens.
Won't YOUR club join in observing
the first week in October as registra-
ton week, set apart one day for all
your members to register. and then
won't your club endeavor to reach all
the women of your community and the
surrounding country and enlist their
interest and cooperation? | appre-
ciate the fact that many club women
are registering. l predict that we
shall be registered $500 strong by Oc-
tober TO-
Assuring you of my appreciation of
your club. l am,
Sincerely your friend,
CATHERINE r. CONVICTION.
President Mississippi Federation of
Women's Clubs.

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

A fire at Cameron. Texas, Sunday
caused the loss of 1000 bales Of cot
ton and the compress and warehouse
at that place, with an estimated loss
of 81 100000.
For the past two weeks night riders
in Northern Alabama and Georgia
have been posting gins, warning their
owners to close down on penalty OF
being burned out.
In one little country town merchants
were ordered to close their doors un-
til cotton brought forty cents per
pound, and in at least one instance
where the order was ignored. the store
was destroyed by fire.
It is presumed that all these un-
lawful acts are the work of cotton far
mers smarting under the lecline OF
cotton prices, seeing the profits they
hoped to realize turned into actual
losses.
The Clarion-Lege~ is loath to be-
lieve that the farmers of Texas. Geor-
gia or Alabama are less law-abiding
than are the balance of our population,
and prefers to attribute these acts OF
lawlessness to reckless class who be-
lieve reforms may be brought about
by force and fright where right and
Justice have failed.
1t is true that it cost the southern
farmer more to raise the present cot
ton crop than is being offered them
for it, but two wrongs never made
right, and the present situation, de-
plorable though, it may be, cannot be
corrected by lawless means. The law
of supply and demand should govern
and this can be brought a/out if the
farmer, the banker, the merchant and
the cotton broker will cooperate for
their mutual good. Cotton should be
kept off the market until fair price
is paid for it. The spinners must have
it and will pay for it what the farmer
asks when the need pinches.
In the meantime all lawabiding citi-
zens, farmer or otherwise. should join
in denouncing acts of law violation
and give all aid possible to bringing to
justice men who are committing these
Observation-Disclosures.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
Advice About Scarlet Fever or Scarlet
tina and Diphtheria

Scarlet Fever and Sca~letina are
one and the same disease, and there
is no difference in the seriousness, no
matter which name may be used.
Scarletina is one of the most serious
of the Diseases of Childhood" Dur
ing the past five years, the death rate
from this disease in the rural districts
of the registration area of the United
States was less than one-half the rate
in the cities of the same area.
I Scarlet Fever begins suddenly with
vomiting and high fever, and, in
young children, commissions are quite
common. The eruption. which ap-
pears first on the neck and chest,
after the first symptoms; although in
some cases five days elapse before it
shows.
, Afte~ exposure, the disease gener-
ally appears in seven days, though
some times as early as the third day.
The case is contagious as long as
there is any scaling of the skin or
discharge from the nose, mouth, or
ears. 1t can be transmitted through
the medium of milk, clothing, furni-
ture, toys, beding. carpets, cats and
dogs.
The acute symptoms last about ten
days and are often followed by Sc
rious disorders of the kidneys or ears.
Deafness is another of the after
effects; and when it develops before
the child has learned to speak, the
child remains mute. To expose a
child purposely to sscarlet fever is a
crime and should be dealt with by
law. The same may be said of par
ents who allow an infectious child to
mingle with their neghbor's children.
From study of the way in which the
malady is transmitted, it will be seen
that the room in which a case is
treated should be as bare of hang
ings, furniture, and carpets as pos
sible. No unauthorized person
should be allowed admittance, and
everything leaving the room must be
disinfected. The writing of letters
by the sick and convalescent must be
prevented. as frequently the disease
is transmitted in this way Toys
that have been used by the sick child
during it's illness must be destroyed.
Clothing that has been used during
the sickness should be sterlized by
steam. The woodwork and walls
should be washed with bichloride Of
mercury, or some other good anti
septic. Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria
can be easily controlled if the physi-
clan in charge. health officer, parents
and teachers closely co-operate in
their efforts to stamp out the disease.
], If child in certain grade shows up
with diptheria, every throat in the
grade should be mopped and cul-
,, lures made to find the carrier or car
riers. Thew. when found. should be
isolated and treated.

 The news with reference to tSokes No. l is of particular interest, as it was reported several days ago, when tue hole was first shot. that it was absolutely dry. As was noted Tn the telegram. the hole "bridsed" with the second shooting. but some oil was ob- tained on top of the bridge. When the hole is again cleared probably it will be found to be a producer.
