The era of making doctors by legisla-
tive enactment seems about to end,
terminating successfully fight of
many years waged by the medical
fraternity against what they termed
vicious practice. In all legislative
session countless bills appear to license
physicians and surgeons, veterinarians,
pharmacists, occulists, and dentists to
practice in one or more counties, and
occasionally these men and women
who cannot meet existing legal re-
quirements are turned loose on the
state at large. The crop in the 1925
assembly has been exceptionally large,
and the physician members seemed to
he making usual unsuccessful battle
when a happy inspiration came to DR..
w. ii. Abingdon a member of the Sen
ate, and chairman of its committee on
Public Health Senator Abingdon in
troduced bill to license resident
of Beebe. his home town, to practice
law. This brought the legal frater-
nifty, which is especially well represent
ed in both branches of the legislature
up with a halt. They rose to a man
and declared that they did not intend
to have anyone not qualified to argue
according to Blackstone getting their
mistakes in suspense on the gallOws.
DIR. Abingdon ,intimated there were
other feet that were being pinched by
u shoe of exactly the same design,
and thereafter there was a more leni-
-ent disposition on the part of the law
yers when it came to considering the
wishes of the doctors on the hand made
physician and surgeon bills. There
have been bills in this session. two of
which passed the Senate, licensing
men not processing to be learned in
the medicai profession to specialize
in the treatment of cancers and other
malignant growths. The doctors ar
gued that the most eminent scientists
had been unable to perfect a cure for
these ills, and it was hardly probable
that a layman, or a herb doctor. could
stumble upon cure. When a bill
licensing someone to practice some
thing he or she cannot pass an exam
ination upon comes into the legislature
it is fought strenuOusly as a local
measure, and many members decline
interference with anOther's local bills
through Legislative courtesy. This
makes the contest even more strenuous
for the doctors, and in sessions past it
was with extreme difficulty that bills
to license herb doctors to engage i'm
the general practice of medicine, and
even witch doctors, were defeated.
In some instances the governor had
to exercise his veto to prevent such
people having empowered to function
as regular physician or surgeon. The
Senate has shown disposition this
session to cut out the word surgeon"
on the grounds that almost anyone can
administer paregOric and pills, but
it takes an educated and skilled per-
son to cut upon a patient

KEEPS HIS FARM HANDS
COMMENTED WITH BASEBALL
Terrell Planter Encourages Games
And Equips Rival Teams.

Mr., E. w, Hollingsworth, one of
Terrell's largest planters, has found a
way to keep the negroes on his farms
contented, 1t is by encouraging them
to play baseball when not at work.
Saturday afternoon big game was
staged between selected players from
two farms Mr.. Hollingsworth bought
baseball equipment and acted in the
capacity of official score keeper. He
states that the scores OF both sides
ran up into two figures and that the
team from the farm with the best
crops finally emerged victor.
By encouraging and assisting his
farm workers in playing the national
game Mr.. HollingsWorth keeps his
help contented and without desire to
spend Saturday afternoons in town.
On two plantations there are approx
imately 100 negroes, many Of whom
were born on the places and most of
the others have been there for years.

TWO UNITS COMING
FROM FORT BENNING
THE BIRD FIELD ARTILLERY
WILL BE IN DAWSON NIGHTS
OF JUNE 4TH AND 9TH.

The Eighty-third Field Artillery of
Fl. Benning, in their march through
southwest Georgia, will be divided in
to two units. The artillery will consist
of about 500 men and an equal num-
Der of horses, number of guns of
various sizes and quantity of other
field equipment.
The first equestrienne cavalcade will
spend Thursday night in Dawson,
pitching camp in the ball park 1t is
probable that they will reach Dawson
near noon. This unit will leave the
city before majority of the popula-
ton awake Friday morning. The sec
ond unit will arrive in Dawson early
Saturday afternoon, and remain until
Monday morning.
The march is part of the training
given at Fit Benning, which is the
largest officers training camp in
America, and the trip will be made as
part of the course, Scouts, map
makers and other army details will be
designated and the cadets will go
through different maneuvers of war
fare. 1t is possible that an army
blimp, used for map making and gun
sighting, will accompany the eXpedi-
ton.
Scouts from the camp have visited
Dawson and made an automobile trip
over the route
1t is not definitely known, but it is
believed that visitors will be permitted
to visit the camp here and inspect the
equipment and guns during certain
hours.

eIRSON TELLS OF

Dr. A E. Gibson, County Agent.

RU "A, e. OLOSOAA1 SAANy E16VllIs
+ !, natural for man to indulge in
10 fond Illusions of hope, and for ev-
-, fellow to speak up for his own
community or state.
During the several days | spent in
Kantckv rounding up some good
b L,d gifts and attending the general
uussemblv of the Presbyterian church
was frequently tempted to make
COMPARISONS, though odious they may
The farming in Kentucky has gone
through many changes, just like it has
bere in Georgia. There is no room for
,nnrogressive farmers in Kentucky,
and they are fast disappearing, for
,ba average farm land in the famous
blne grass section is selling for 5000
oer acre. and some of this land is so
[orng it is almost necessary to use
walking cane to stand up while
Walking across the fields. And yet
thew continue to farm on this high
nriced land. One successful farmer
stated to the writer that lands were
too high to make money growing any
thing but race horses, sheep and to-
bacco, while others had fully as varied
opinions, and we concluded that the
only reason farmers continued to farm
in Kentucky was because they did
not know of the wonderful opportuni-
hes in Georgia. The average Ken
mckv farmer is astoniShed when you
tell him he can buy the very best farm
land in Georgia for 500 per acre or
even less, and | was constantly re-
minded that if Georgia would stop
grouching and create a fund to let the
world know about her opportunities
every train coming from the north
and west would bring hordes of set
Tiers. and in the course of few years
we would have the best developed ag-
ricultural and manufacturing state in
the entire country. The average Ken
lucky citizen believes in Kentucky,
while the average Georgian believes
in Florida or somewhere else; he GER
family does not believe in his state,
and 50 long as this continues to be up
permost in the minds OF our people
we will hardly get other people to do
much believing in Georgia.
Good Hogs Are Scarce.
We found the hog raisers in Ken
lucky unwilling to part with their
best stuff unless they were offered
premium, and nearly every one of
them expressed the opinion that hogs
were going to be hogs" for the next
few years. We found that bred gifts
weighing from $50 to 200 pounds were
selling at from $50 to $35, and we
we're a little slow in making any
trades; however, it is believed that if
Terrell county would ship in a car of
this well bred stuff it would mean
great factor in the development of
this section. After spending several
days looking over the situation
left the matter in the hands of the
kentucky State College swine special
ist to see just how cheap they could
be bought and report as soon as pos
sbie. AS soon as this report is receiv-
ed the farmers of Terrell county will
be informed definitely as to what good
bred gifts will cost delivered at Daw-
son.
There is a great demand for good
hogs in this section, and | am 60
ing to do my utmost to supply them
But buying must be conservative, and
they must be worth the money.
