FEDERAL DRAINAGE
EXPERT HERE To END
MENACE OF MALARIA
DR.. lie Brince VIII Make Survey
of Condition and Report Mos
quito Breeding Places
SITUATION HOLDS DANGER
Americus One of Few Communi-
ties to Abandon Wartime
Malarial Prevention system

Dr. j. l.. LeBrince a fedeal govern
ment drainage expert has reached
Americus, and will remain here some
time, making survey of malarial
condition in this community. He is
not only drainage expert of ability.
but IS familiar with condition about
Amercus as well, having visited here
during the construction of the war
time malarial drainage system here.
his finding will be of especial val
ue in the fight to be waged here this
summer against malaria and dengue
fever. He was here while malarial
control work was under direction of
w. D. Tiedemann, while Souther
Field was an active army post, when
the mosquito was practically elimin-
ated, and it is expected he will rec
ommend the complete rehabilitation
of the drainage system begun and
practically completed then.
Seventeen per cent oof the com
munities within which the federal
government constructed drainage
system during the war have aban-
doned those valuable health safe
guards, DR.. LeBrine says, and Amer
icus is one of those who have failed
to keep the wartime system in oper-
alton. AS a result, he says, Amer
icus people literally are raising den
que fever in their own back-yards
the same as some people do vegeta-
bles. The. dengue, or yellow fever
mosquito, says Dr.. LeBrince, is the
species that breeds in stagnant water
in back yards, in piles of rubbish,
and wherever dampness accumulates
and then innoculates the human be-
ings with the deadly virus of dengue,
one of the most painful and costly
diseases known to medicine.
The economic loss entailed through
dengue in the South last summer
was positively appalling, DR.. Le-
Brince says, and the mosquito is
solely responsible for the disease.
The msquito season is now beginning
and the most effectual work possible
can and should be done right away
There is no time to be lost if Amer
icus residents are to escape another
endemic of dengue, and he urges
the beginning Of cleanup campaign
Immediately. Back yard, especially,
should be cleaned up, and every pos
sible breeding place for the mosquito
eliminated, DR.. LeBrince asserts.

HOLY SPIRIT SUBJECT

Many Attending andfMueh Inter
est in Revival at Courthouse by
Methodists

Preaching on the subject of the
''Holy Spirit Mr. Cutler delivered
an inspiring message to large con-
gregation at the courthouse this morn
ing, taking for his text some first
verses from John, chapter 16, reveal
ing where Christ comforts His dis
ciples, this being the last of the week
day morning services of the week.
Another meeting will be held tonight
at the usual hour and after the selv-
ice there will be meeting of the
board of stewards.
The meeting last night was the
largest and perhaps the best of the
week, Mr.. Cutler preaching on the
imprisonment of Paul and Silas and
their releases, his text being from
the Acts of the Apostle, chapter 16,
verses 1926; "And at midnight Paul
and Silas prayed and sang praises
unto God; and the prisoners heard
them. And suddenly there was a
great earthquake, 50 that the foun-
dations of the prison were shaken;
and imediately all the doors were
opened, and every ones bands were
loosed."
At both these services several ap-
piled for membership in the church
on profession of faith. The two
weeks past have been fruitful and
many have been blessed and helped
because of them.
1t is again urged that all children
in Americas between the ages of IA
and % come to the services especially
for them, to be held at the court
house Sunday afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock. Mr.. Cutler has important
messages which he wishes to deliver.

THE ESCAPE OF JESUS
is PREACHER'S TOPIC
''And He Passing Through the
Midst of Them, Went His Way"
Is Texa of Revivalist

At First Baptist revival last night
Or. William Russell Owen took for
his text last, night Luke 4:3O. And
he passing through the midst Of them
went his way"
He said among other things: "Je-
sus went His way because His way
was not their way. Jesus often
times leaves our lives and goes His
way because He finds His way is not
ourway. My subject, THE Escape
of Jesus leads me to warn the peo-
pie of this church and this city that
Jesus Christ went back to Nazareth
where He was brought up, only to
arouse their anger and hostility and
finally their attack in an effort to
drive Him out of their city. And
when He found He was not wanted
the Scripture says, He passing
through the midst of them and went
His way
Gotten from the lives of those who
have called Him their friend, often
times from the lives of men and wo-
men who long have been known as
church members, Christ, long, long
ago has departed. A man invited
Jesus out of his life when as a church
member, he tells an unchaste story tG
group of the boys and, hear what
say to you, there is no more de-
spised man in Americus than the
church member who thinks he is put
ting over a good piece of fellow
ship to the men of the world when
he tells stories that no gentlemen,
whether in the church or outside,
would tell.
''The one big observation that |
am making among men who call
themselves men of the world, but
who are really big, clean-thinking
men in the business world, Is the
growing intolerance Of the man that
attempts to put over a little smut.
Recently I saw two hundred of the
leading citizens of Macon take a
public pledge to put uncleanness and
ribald stories out of the high-class
business offices. Men hate buffer
who pretends to be a church mem
ber and whom they know to be
nvpocrite who tries to cover UP his
yellow streak by being a good fell
low. When the church members get
cleaned up it will be easier for sin
ners to find out Saviour
Interest in the service continues
to increase, with one of the grow
ing features being the junior choir
organized and instructed by P. s..
Rowland, evangelistic singer. The
revivaIist will speak tonight on
'Child Conversion" and tomorrow
there will lbe no services at the
church, DR.. Owen and the singers
taking a day of rest from their la
bors.

INJEcTS POLITICS IN SERMON
AND CAUSES A SCENE

Wise preachers visiting churches on
invitation refrain from injecting poll
tics in their discourses. One who did
not provoked a scene in a leading
Congregational Church in Washington
that almost broke up the services
The indiscreet preacher is Rev. Dr.
Asked, who is known as an eloquent
pulpiteer in this country and England
In Washington he inhaled the politi-
cal atmosphere and during his dis
course digressed to discuss and con-
denim the Versailles Treaty and ad-
versely criticized the peace efforts OF
former President Woodrow Wilson.
He was interrupted by an indignant
woman worshiper, who exclaimed: i
Friends of Woodrow Wilson ought 80
leave the church" They did. The
surprised preacher explained that he
desired to convey the idea that Mr..
Wilson is idealistic and had been mis-
led. Had he preached a straight Bible
sermon there would have been no
scene. The incident proves that
Woodrow Wilson has many followers
in the church who will promptly re-
sent any unfavorable comment on his
world peace policy-Hoboken OBJ

Scotch Couples Dance
21 Hours, 16 Minutes

London.-Endurance records in
dancing are being shattered so fire.
quently in the hot contest for world
supremacy between England and Scot
land that it is difficult to keep track
Of the figures.
When Santos Casani, former ayia-
tor, stopped his continuous perform
ance at Hammersmith with record of
18 hours "a minutes he was happy, In
the belief that he had established new
figures for continuous dancing.
His efforts were vain, for when he
finished two couples in Edinburgh were
putting the last touches on a much
higher record of 81 hours, 16 minutes.
They were Miss Mary Connolly and
Joseph Young, and Miss Lena Hansen
and Hugh MacKay.
Casani's record was most remark
able from the fact that he was gravely
wounded in the war, section OF his
collarbone having been carried away,
while shrapnel fragments still re-
mained in his legs. Casani carried a
pedometer which registered 63 miles,
LAO yards when he was forced to
quit by sore feet. He concluded with
an exhibition fox trot and one-min-
ute spin.
