HOPE At LAST FOR
The TUBERCULAR
NEW SANITARIUM is
PROVIDED BY STATE
Half Million Dollar ApprOpria-
tion-Negroes to be Taken
Care Of

The Legislature at its session just
closed did a splendid piece of WORK
Tor the State in passing a measure
that will give to our State much
larger Sanatorium for the treatment OF
tuberculosis.
The bill was introduced by Mr.. j.
II. Miner, of Eastman, and DR.. Chas
w. Peek, of Cedartown. 1t provides
for The expenditure Of 100000, and
makes provision for the raising Of
the fund by a 10 per cent tax on
cigarettes and cigars. The bill also
provides for the pension fund for
Confederate soldiers.
1t is now the plan of the State
Board of Health to turn the present
institution at Alto to the care OF the
negro tubercular a1d build the new
institution for white patients near the
present institution.
. The plans for the work will soon
be gone into, and the project will be
undertaken just as soon as the money
is available, which will be about two
years hence. The tax is to be raised
s25O,OOO in 1924 and the same
amount in 1925. The construction
will be begun as soon as the first
years tax is collected.
There has never been any place
provided in Georgia for the care of
the colored race, and this movement
is regarded by those who know as
far-reaching in It's effect, as much OF
the tuberculosis is in the negro race
and they come in contact with the
whites as cooks, in dairy work, laun-
dry, etc. 1t is predicted that this
measure will go a long way towards
eliminating this disease.
The passage of the bill was hard
fought, the sentiment in the Senate
changing apparently several times in
day or so. On the vote one,
majority was the result, the President
Of the Senate, Hon. Geo. H. Carswell.
leaving the chair to make a speech
in behalf of the bill and casting the
deciding vote for it.
Generations yet unborn will rise up
to bless all who had anything to do
with it's passage; to them will be
given the advantage of health and
freedom from the great white plague.

FARMERS GETTING READY
FOR THEIR BUSY SEASON

Spring 10 ON the way Farmers
are beginning to start their spring
work. Many are rakinE pea vines.
others plowins. while some have
been drilling peas. Although the
peas will not terminate until warm
weather, It does not hurt them to
lay in the ground and II is that
much work out OF the way when the
busy spring season opens.
More diversified farming will be
practiced this year. As usual there
will be thousands Of acres put into
potatoes. but most OF the farmers
are planning on several side crops.
Never again do they want to be
with only one crop and with
no market for that crop.
II is doubtful II much lettuce will
be grown In the Immediate vicinity
of Monte Vista. Several have ex-
pressed their Intentions OF planting
some. hut II will not be on the large
scale which II was planted last year.
However. In the higher attitudes
around South Fork. Wagon Wheel
Gap and Creede. Il Ia believed tina,
. iarse amount will be planted. r..

Weather Market Boosts
Potato Prices Locally

Weather Market" is the explana-
tion which potato dealers give a. the
cause for the rapid rise in spud
prices during the last week. For
several weeks. the prices OF potatoes
have been twenty-five and thirty
cents . hundred. This week the
market suddenly went up to nifty
cents.
Another cause to take into con-
sideration is that nearly all the
brown beauties are sold. Practical
ly all the marketable potatoes in the
valley will be cleaned up by the first
Of April
Most dealers do not expect the
price to stay up. On the western
slope. potatoes are selling for thirty
cents while the Greeley spuds are
bringing forty cents. Many dealing
In potatoes claim that as soon as the
climate OF the north will permit the
using Of box cars for shipping OF po-
tatoes. the market Is going to take
q sudden tumble. But In the mean
while. all who can are selling on the
nifty cent market.
At the present time there is nt
shortage OF cars. This is due to the
fact that most Of the potatoes have
been sold and the amount being sold
now is much smaller and the de-
mand for cars less.
