THE NITRATE PLANT.
I
Augusta has awakened overnight to
find that she was letting a wonderful
opportunity slip by not making an ef
fort to secure one of the government
nitrate plants to be built, and likely
one in the South. Editor Thomas W.
Loyless, of the Augusta Chronicle, is
waging a masterful “paper" fight for
the claims and merits of Augusta, and
’ the Times-Recorder sincerely wishes
bim success.
But, the propaganda in favor of
Mussel Shoals, in Alabama, has gained
much headway by the work of Ala
bama and Tennessee. Why, two
Nashville, Tenn., papers have com
bined in a publicity campaign and Mus
sel Shoals literature is flooding the
country. The Times-Recorder office is
a regular haven for some r.f this pub
licity, and we have used a portion of
it.
Augusta and Georgia needs to org
anize herself, and do it right away.
One of the failings of people has evi-
denced itself in this respect for the
• Georgia general assembly has already
endorsed Mussel Shoals—and is no,v
d recommending Georgia first. The
southern newspaper men assembled at
Ashville, N. C., several weeks ago,
X'went on record in favor of
t Mussel Shoals—with Georgia news-
paper men lending their aid for the
passage of the resolution. But they
didn’t think Georgia wanted anything
even if she had the resources.
Our Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
or some organization could have got
i.
ten under way at the same time as
3 Mussel Shoals —and we would have
' f been that much ahead of the game. Ed
- itor Loyless is waging a wonderful
f single-hand fight, and day by day he
will enlist volunteers for the work.
We believe in Americus and Sumter
county first; southwest Georgia, then
[ the entire state of Georgia—and the
> south always. Then, if the movement
' is large enough we are for the entire
union. But, Georgia has the goods and
, all we need is to exploit the fact.
WILL RESUME CONFERENCES.
President Wilson will again resume
his conferences with newspaper men.
This practice or rather custom was
abandoned about a year ago. The why
of this was best known to the President
himself. Now that he is a candidate
for reelection he has doubtless decided
it is best to have the confidence and
consideration of the newspaper boys.
Again, it is very probable that he
has decided that it is the better part of
wisdom through the newspapers to
take the public into his confidence and
acquaint the people with the policies of
his administration, and its plans for
the future.
How far he will turn the White
House into a publicity bureau as did
some of his predecessors remains to be
een. It is safe to say however that the
public will be kept informed as to
what is going on. These conferences
are to be held once a week. Rather a
long time between drinks for the pen
cil pushers, but they may be depended
upon to get lots of things for the read
ing public on the side.
The general opinion prevails that the
reason the President abandoned the
weekly conferences was because of the
Mexican situation as well as that of
Europe, and now that the crisis has
been reached so far as Mexico is con
cerned, and a general understanding
o', the various other conditions, the--e
is no longer any reason for withhold
ing news items from the newspapers.
The concensus of opinion is that the
President was wrong in his position
and the public will be glad to know
that he has made up his mind to again
take them into his confidence.
THE MODEL CHURCH.
Dr. A. R. Holderby, of Atlanta, a
■ Presbyterian minister, preached a
. sermon at East Point last Sunday up
on the subject, “A Model Church." We
• have read this sermon. It was a goo I
’ one. As we read we thought, and as
1 we thought a clearer vision came to
us of the meaning of a model churcn,
aud what such a church means to hu
_ manity, that is a true model churcn,
such as Dr. Holderby described. In
part he said:
“When measured by the Divine
standard there is not a model churcn
on earth, but when measured by the
i human standard there may be many.
[ “The church that can make a grand
stand play with a wealthy member
: ship, an eloquent preacher, artistic
r music and social standing of its mem
. bers is a model church, according to
t the measure of the world.
■ “The real model church, however, is
1 the one working only for the glory
s of God. It is a church in which the
rich and poor alike meet together up
t on the same level. It is the church
l that declares the whole counsel of
. God, and is not afraid of wounding the
> feelings of the rich. It is the church
. that stands as a constant rebuke to
. all evil and is filled with the spirit of
> Christ.
s “The model church will stand for
- the world peace and will make impos
f sible all future bloodshed and wars;
will bow only to the one King—Jesus
- Christ. This mode! church is com
•. ing, and it will QU the earth with its
- glory."
r ' Uncle Sam Tells How to Stop
‘Ravages Infantile Paralysis
f To control the present epidemic of
infantile paralysis, according to a
statement issued by the hnited States
' public health service today, the chain
> of Infection between persons harbor
ing germs of the disease and the well
■ members of the community should be
’ broken. Infantile paralysis is proba
-1 bly caused by a very minute organism
1 found in the nasal, mouth and bowel
discharges of those who have the dis
ease, or who are carriers of the germ
1 without themselves suffering from the
ailment. All of the steps in the
spread of the infection are not known
but if this germ can be prevented from
passing from the infected to the well
person, the disease will cease.
Infantile paralysis is not a disease of
'recent origin. Sporadic or scattered
cases have occurred throughout the
country for many years, but it is only
during the last decade that the in
fection has assumed epidemic propor
tions in the United States. The pres
ent epidemic in New cork City, on ac
count of its magnitude and virulence,
has awakened the residents of many
communities to the danger of the im
portation of the disease into their own
I midst. This danger is real, but if due
precautions are exercised it is believed
that the epidemic will subside.
, The actual control of the present
, epidemic must be left to the city, state
and federal authorities. These organ
, izations will properly quarantine and I
care for affected persons, prescribe
sanitary measures and limit as may be
necessary the travel of individuals in
order to protect neighboring districts
from the infection. Individuals and
communities, however, can do much
toward their own protection.
Poliomyelitis is probably spread di
rectly or indirectly, through the med
ium of infective secretions. Account
must, therefore, be taken by commun
ities of every means by which such .
secretions are disseminated. Promis
cuous expectoration should be con- ,
trolled. The common drinking cup as- .
fords a method for the interchange o f
material of this nature and should,
therefore, be abolished. Rigid cleanli
ness of glasses and utensils at soda
fountains, in saloons and other public
places should be enforced. Flies,
roaches and other vermin, by coming
i.i contact with infective secretions,
may possibly convey them to our food
and thus directly bring about the de
velopment of disease. Therefore elim
inate insects. Street and house dust
bear a definite relation to the spread
of many infections and it is not un
reasonable to presume that they may
be a factor in the dissemination of in
fantile paralysis. Maintain strict
cleanliness of streets, yards and alleys
in order to prevent the breeding of in
sects and other vermin. See that all
k
garbage and waste are properly cared
I
for and collected at regular and fre
quent intervals. Guard all food sup
plies, especially milk and other perish
able products. Digestive troubles of
children arising from the ingestion of
food of questionable quality may lower
resistance. Assemblies of children in
infected localities are to be discourag
ed, if not actually forbidden. While
i ..
the above measures are in a sense
general and applicable to many epi
demic diseases, their importance
I should not be overlooked.
Individual protective measures may
thus be summarized:
Summon a physician at once and
immediately notify the health officer
ot the presence of the disease. If the
disease is present in the community,
medical aid should be sought whenever
a child is sick, no matter how light
the illness; many c'ases of infantile

’ paralysis begin with a slight indisposr
. tion. Should the illness prove to be
i infantile paralysis isolate the patient
place a competent person in charge
and reduce all communication with the
sick room to a minimum. Hospital
care is preferable not only for the
child, but in order to better safeguard
against the spread of the disease. The
sick room should be well ventilated
and screened. Nasal and mouth secre
tions should be received in cloths
place in a paper bag and burned. The
clothing of the child, the bed linen
and the excretions should be disin
fected in the same manner as for ty
phoid fever, that is by boiling, the long
continued application of 5K% carbolic,
or other well recognized disinfectant.
The same is true for dishes and drink
ing vessels. Nurses should exercise
1 the same precautions as regards
cleanliness of hands in caring for in
fantile paralysis patients as for those
afflicted with other infectious dis
eases.
A child may convey the disease to
others even after a lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine
should be maintained for a considera-
ble period, usually from six to eight
v eeks, and the above precautions
should be adhered to during this time.
Disinfection of the room following re
covery is advisable.
GONSTBUGTIDH WORK ON
FOR TOE SOUTHEAST NOW
COLUMBUS. Ga., July 27.—The In
dustrial Index says in its issues for
this week:
"The great amount of construction
work that is in progress and planned
in the Southeast is emphasized by the
large number of important contracts
that are being awarded. New plans for
building are being announced con
stantly. and the indications are that in
a construction way the Southeast will
be busier even in the last half of the
year than it was in the first.
“A notable feature of industrial -on
ditions is the great variety of enter
prises represented by the new manu
facturing plants and that are being
established. Some of them will utilize
resources of this section that hereto
fore have been neglected entirely.
The fact that a new era of progress
and prosperity is beginning in this
section is becoming more and more
apparent. Developments that not
many months ago would have caused
comment now are regarded as a mat
ter of course—and such they have be
come. The Southeast is manufactur
ing more, it is building more and it is
growing and raising many things that
up to a short time ago it purchased in
other sections.
“A total of nineteen new corpora
tions were formed during the week
