DR. FORT MAKING
O0RDELE SURVEY
WIN Spend Week Or More
There in Interest of Anti-Ma-
laria Work in That Section

CORDELE, April 11.-Dr. VI. A.
Fort, who has charge of the malaria
.eoauol work for the State Board of
Health, is in Cordele for a visit Of
e week on more. When asked for
. statement as to the nature of his
work. DR.. Fort said in substance:
In looking over the death re-
ports for Georgia l find that thers
have been quite a large number CT
deaths from malaria. If a line is
drawn from Cordele south west to
the Alabama state line, the heaviest
malarial infection is from 25 to Is
miles on each side of this line.
Crisp county had its full share of
these deaths during 1928. am here
to try to find out why.
I'VE have found that people who
had malaria last summer or fall, IN
less they were completely cured,
have distinct enlargement of the
spleen which is easily felt when one
is expert in the examination. TIE
smaller accurate idea of the preva-
lence Of malaria can be formed.
The children and their parents can
then be advised as to the proper
steps to take to eradicate the dis
case. If this advice is followed
completely, whole communities can
be freed from this seourge. Those
with enlarged spleens now, have
living malaria parasites in their
blood, and most of them will have
a return of the disease in the late
summer, and they will also poison
all the anopheles mosquitoes which
bite them, and these mosquitoes will
spread the disease to others. There
fore it is little short of criminal to
remain infected; for you may lose
your own life, and you may be the
source of injecting others who may
also die.

 Convenience to patrons. courtesy to patrons, attention to patrons. good service. understanding in methods to buy and sell and personality were the components for the successful grocer as outlined by Mir. Myers.
 In his eulogy to the trade, Mir. Myers said convenience to patrons Is necessary in that the prospective buyer is not going to extremes to do his or her trading. Courtesy was necessary to maintain Il growing trade and is ob- tained without cost to the merchant.
 Attention to patrons is absolutely necessary inasmuch as lack of attention will serve the purpose of running Il trade more promptly than any other method known to the business world. Service is one of the most necessary of all necessities for the grocery business as the merchant, inattentiye to rendering high standard of service will find

NEW COURT HOUSE

Edmundson Proposes Way For Solving Problem
 Of Community

Absence of bidders who are willing to pay the price of $1,2O0,OO0 set by the board of revenue for the old court house property may cause the board to abandon its original plan of construct ing the new county administration building on the lot recently purchased near Woodraw Wilson park, Lacey Ed mundson, member of the board, said Wednesday.
 Mir. Edmundson pointed out that, al- though the property has been for sale for several weeks, no prospective pur- chaser has offered anything like the price asked, and said he expected to bring up at an early meeting of the board the matter of two separate but adjoining buildings to be used by city and county officials.
 Adjacent Buildings
 Mir. Edmundson's plan is to remove all prisoners now confined in the coun- ty jail to the city jail, destroy the

 eve could sell the present site to the city without any difficulty" he said. 'It would then be available when ever needed, and the board of revenue would be able to use the money from its sale to pay part of the cost of the new court house.
 Mir. Edmundson said the county would have no difficulty in disposing of the site recently purchased for the new court house. We can get what we spent for it anytime we wish to sell, and even now, we are getting an income of per cent or Letter on our investment in rents,' he added.
