NO MALARIA IN DAWSON.

An article printed in the last issue of
The News stating that malaria had been
eliminated in Dawson and large part of
Terrell county attracted interested atten-
ton not only in this immediate locality but
elsewhere as well, as all thinking people con-
slider the safeguarding of health of para
mount Importance The information was
based on a report made by Mr.. A. F. Allen,
sanitary engineer of the public health serv-
ice department of the Central of Georgia
Railway and printed in The Right Way, a
monthly magazine published by that railroad.
The statement that malaria has been ellml-
mated in Dawson carries weight because it is
the opinion of an expert who IS familiar
with conditions in this locality.
Mr.. Allen calls attention to the methods
employed here in getting rid of malaria as
worthy of adoption throughout the entire
malariaI sections of the south. Now that the
government and the state are spending so
much thought and money on malaria control
the statement of Mr.. Allen that Dawson
has no malaria problem" is of more than
passing interest. Not so many years ago
chills and fever were accepted as part OF
the price to be paid for living in this sec
ton. If the residents were inclined to look
for the cause for all the train of ills at
tending protracted sickness it was usually
charged up to Providence, and they continued
to breathe in miasma and suffered the con-
sequences. A few seasons back there was
an awakening to the Importance OF lnteIll-
gent methods of farming and now all over
the county in place of ponds and stagnant
pools-breeding places for mosquitoes and
constant menace to health and comfort
luxuriant crops add to the increasing pros
nerity. The improvement in health condi-
tions has been marvellous in the farm homes
as well as among the city jewellers.
While the draining of swamps and low
lands has been of first Importance IN BRING
ing about this happy change other move
ments, such as annual campaigns of cleanup
week" propaganda, have contributed to the
eradication of disease germs, flies and mos
uuitoes and the consequent decrease of SICK
ness. Since malaria one of the deadllest
foes to health, has been throttled we can,
in all confidence and honesty, offer to those
seeking homes in a desirable locality the
assurance that Dawson and Terrell county's
health record is far above the average sec
ton of Georgia and of the United States.
Mr. Allen estimates that ''less than one-half
of one per cent of the populace suffered In
1919 from a malaria attack" and there Is
every reason to believe that if we continue
the necessary precautions this year of grace
1920 will mark further decrease.
The Importance of general cleaning up
right now in the beginning of spring cannot
be overestimated, and to bring about the far
reaching good desired every citizen must
have a part

AS USUAL.

By the agreement between soft coal miners
and operators, based on the award of the coal
commission, the wage increases will aggre-
gate about $20O,O0O,OOO year. At the same
time the production, according to reliable
estimates, will fail to meet the demand.
1t does not require a prophet nor the
son of a prophet to foresee advanced prices
The idea of DR.. Garfield and President Will
son that the operators would have to stand
the gaff is already an irridescent dream.
It is easy enough for the mine operators
and the miners to get together provided
they can pass the burden on to, the consumer

EDITOR KELLY DECLINES

From the FIT. Gaines Georgian
Over at Dawson, the other day, a promi-
nent Georgia citizen flung this at US: why
don't you run for president --?" Now,
that was only one mans suggestion, but it
was sufficient to get US all aquiver with ex-
element and pulled up with self-importance.
Why shouldn't we run for president? Other
men do it on the slightest proyocation.
We've been thinking it over trying to decide
whether to make TIE sacrifice or Got. But
hold-at this very instance arises in our
great mind the question: What would become
of the Southwest Georgian if we had to go
to Washington and take Friend Woodrow S
place? We guess somebody else will have
to be found for the job.

GOOD FOR THE WOMEN.

The Georgia League of Women Voters.
recently organized, has announced the fol
lowing principles and purposes:
"The Protection of the Home-Wom-
en- want to vote because it will double
the home vote.
"The Protection of All Children
Women want every child to have
chance to grow up sound in body ana
mind.
Economy in Government-Women
want lower taxes and economical use
of public funds.
"a Square Deal for Every Man and
Woman-Women want equal rights for
all and special privileges for none"
The News has not advocated the federal
suffrage amendment, believing the states
should determine their own election laws
without dictaton or interference by NEEDLE
some officials at Washington, but we heart
;iv endorse the above principles as sound
sensible and conservative. 1t is platform
upon which all right thinking persons can
stand, and the male politicians of the state
would do well to adopt it. We don't re-
member when they had anything better, Os
as good.
We congratulate these ladies and future
voters.

BESPEAKS A BETTER SENTIMENT.

From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
One of the best Easter editorials that has
passed beneath our eyes this year was in The
Dawson News, secular weekly paper of
this state 1t is significant when a secular
weekly paper takes its space to write of
such topics as this. There has been a
noticeable change in the tone of the secular
press during the past several wears and it
speaks of a better sentiment among the

SPEAKING OF ANCESTORS

From the Greensboro Herald-Jo urnal
We were thinking the other day how
proud it was to be descended from May
flower patriot, when a well posted fellow
said: "The entire bunch came here to escape
paying their debts" Yes, and some of the
descendants have inherited the proclivites
of their ancestors even down to the pres
ent generation.

Ice Plant Can
Be Secured for
Location Here

Ordway is in position to get a
big ice plant and cold storage house.
The plant and storage will be one of
the largest in the west, II put in, and
1t is up to this community to land 1t.
Ordway is the logical point for
such an industry and II 1t docs not
come this community will be the los
er. for such a business. of the size
planned, would keep 9 good sized
working force employed the year
round. besides making this shipping
point one of the mot important
along the line from west to east.
The American Refrigerator Tran
sit Co., proposes to make a contract
with the new plant not only for icing
the carB OF Cantaloupes which are
shipped from here but for re-icing its
oars in transit. The shipments of
perishabie fruits end Vegetables from
the west to the eastern markets must
be iced almost at the rate of twice
in each state thru which such ship
ments pass. II this plant is located
in Ordway this will be a re-icing
point for all thru shipments of per-
ishables.
big thing in the location of the
plant and one of vast Importance is
the cold storage feature. This is of
far greater Importance than the aver
age person might think. From d
local point Il would provide storage
for several car loads of honey dew
melons which are now sent to the
east for storage only to be reloaded
and shipped to the markets. some
tihes back over the same line it had
traversed on its way to storage. F..
G. Hilvert, manager for S. A. Ger

his company alone would turn to a
cold storage plant here would be n
large item, several thousand
dollars a year. 1t is now impossible
to find good storage places for apples
and other fruit of this state, and n
storage plant here would soon be US
ed for apples raised in the Grand
Valley at Grand Junction.
There would be a demand for n
plant of fifty tons of ice daily and the
investment would be one of the
worth while ones.
On Monday of this week D. o. Oul-
EFT, superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific was here in company with Mr.
Leightner of Claremore, Okla, repre-
senting the company which proposes
to put in the plant. Mr. Leightner
states that he will build the plant
CostinS IN the nelShDOrnOOu OF Zo,-
600 II the community will take be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 of the
stock in the proposition.
Can this be done?
1t certainly can II the people of
this community are alive to the bene-
fits to be derived from this industry
and alive to the profits the stock
holders will make on the investment.
That amount of money is apparent
ly good deal. 1t is good sized
amount of money, but there have
been statesmen come into this very To-
cality to sell stock in some institu-
tion which is to be located off in
some other town away from where
this community gets the benefit and
away from where these local stock
holders have a Chance to see what is
going on.
And what is more these statesmen
sell the stock here and on one propo-
sition alone not long ago two sales
men sold stock to people in this coun-
ty in excess of this ice plant propo-
Bition.
