FOURTEEN ATLANTA NURSES

ATLANTA, Ga.. Aug. 29.—The terri
ble plague of infantile paralysis now
ravaging New York City and vicinity
may never reach Atlanta, and certain
ly will not if the local city and state
health authorities can prevent it, but
Atlanta has sent to New York no less
than fourteen nurses who volunteered
for service in combatting the disease.
Some weeks ago the New York au

GROGftN'S PLAN WAS
TURNED DOWN QUICK
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 29.—The pro
posals of Judge George C. Grogan, of
the City Court of Elberton, to the
thirteen other candidates for the three
places on the Court of Appeals benhc,
to allow the Supreme Court to select
the nominees has been abandoned. This
was made necessary because Alex
Stephens, of Atlanta, and Henry Full
bright, of Waynesboro, two of the can
didates. did not believe it practicable,
althouhg the only other requirement
than an agreement between those run
ning would be the approval of the
Democratic Executive committee.
Judge Grogan consulted St. Elmo Mas
sengale, secretary of the Executive
ommittee, and showed him it was seas -
ible.
Because the candidates would not
agree the question was never submit
ted to the Supreme Court. Judge Gro
gan was perfectly willing to have
this done, believing as he did that it
would result in a more satisfactory
selection because the campaign must
be so short the people will not have an
opportunity to study the qualifications
: of the candidates. Since the plan has
been abandoned, Judge Grogan has
; taken up the campaign and will cen
tralize his fight in north Georgia on
’ the ground that this section is not rep
-1 resented on either appellate court
' bench, except by Atlanta lawyers.
' Judge Grogan has been judge of the
' City Court of Elberton for six years.
' He has the endorsement of all mem
bers of the bar on the Northern cir

ATLANTA, Ga., August 29.—A1l

the Atlanta Association of Building
Owners and Managers, who are plan
ning to send a big delegation to the

sociation which meets in St. Louis on
September 12th to 15th.
The last convention was held in At

.owners and managers from practically
■ every state in the union. It is estimat
< 1 that an annual convention of the Na

Georgia Can Raise
Sheep With Profit
Spring Lambs Bring Fancy Prices And
Quick Returns
MILTON P. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal
Husbandry, Ga. State Col. Os Agri.
With lambs selling at 11 and 12
cents per pound live weight, no live
stock undertaking is likely to prove
more profitable nor turn profits more
quickly than sheep raising. For the
past 30 years there has been a steady
decrease in the number of sheep in
this country. This is likewise true
of the whole world. Raising and sell
ing spring lambs bring the best re
turns and no great amount of capital
need be involved in the undertaking.
Native ewes may be purchased and a
purebred sire of one of the standard
mutton breeds mated with them not
later than the middle of September,
which will bring the lambs to drop
before the middle of February.
During the fall and winter the ewes
should have abundance of grazing on
such crops as rye, vetch and crimson
clover, bur clover, rye alone, and if
oats and wheat have attained a rank
growth it will do no harm to graze
them on these crops. If ewes are in
thin flesh it pays to feed them a lit
tle grain during the fall and winter.
After lambs have begun to take ail
of their mother's milk, ewes should
be put on luxuriant pastures. A creep
or pen into which the lambs can go
and the ewes can not, should be pro
vided, and in the creep put flat troughs
in which feed equal parts of corn, oats
and bran. By this method it should
be no trouble to make the youngsters
average 70 pounds each by May. The
ewes should average 1% lambs each.
On the basis of present market one
could expect to sell them at 10 cent#
per pound as early lambs.
There is room for a small flock of
breeding ewes on every farm in Geor
gia.
Mistakes About
Ailments Os Animals
DR. W. M. BURSON, Prof. Vet. Sc.,
Ga. State College Os Agr.
WOLF TEETH—BLIND TEETH!
Occasionally horses and mules are
found to have small supernumerary
teeth just in front of the first molars
—jaw teeth. There is a popular su
perstition that these extra teeth are
a cause of eye diseases and blindness.
There is no foundation in fact for this
belief. There is nothing to it. It is
ridiculous. The blood supply of the
teeth is entirely distinct and sepa
rate from that of the eyes. There is 1
no direct connection between the
eyes and teeth as far as the nerves
are concerned. As a matter of fact,
some horses and mules have seven
molar teeth instead of the normal
number of six. The small “wolf
tooth” is simply the evidence that
there was a tendency toward the de
velopment in that particular animal
of an extra number of teeth. Such
extra teeth have absolutely no con
nection with the occurrence of eye
diseases.
Hool» I The horse needs three eye
lids in each eye and has them. All
animals not provided with fingers have
this extra structure in connection with
the eye. It is nature’s method of
providing something for the removal
of foreign particles from the surface
of the eye. In nervous diseases the
“haw,” or third eyelid, is seen to pro
trude over the surface of the eye
to a varying extent. In eye troubles
it is also seen to cover a considerable
portion of the eye. If your horse is'
unusually nervous and exciteable,
somewhat stiff ip the limbs and has
the “hooks,” you had better call your
veterinarian as the disease is likely
“lockjaw.” Lockjaw, of course, is a
very dangerous disease and unless
treatment is prompt is apt to be fa
tal.
Grave Damage To Pine
Timber In the South
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College Os Agriculture I
Wherever one travels in the south
there is noticed small groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum
mer the leaves turn yellow and fall,
leaving the trees bare, As a rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle (Dendroctonus fontalis), a 1
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If
enough beetles are present the tree
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor of the fresh
ly cut wood and attack the surround
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to 1
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is i
confined to the upper portions of the |
stem; on felled timber, it works on :
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win- !
ter months when both trees and bee- ■
ties are in a dormant state. If cut-i
ting in the summer is unavoidable,
the slashing should be destroyed by 1
firing. Beetles in infested timber may j
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs'
in water and destroying the slashing.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER,
ASSESSORS CHANGE
ISMWJED FOR
IRE TOfflHlf ROW
INDINAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 29.—The
greatest impediment to efficiency in
taxation is the present method of elect
ing township assessors according to
Charles J. Orbison, an Indinapolis at
torney, who spoke at the Indiana ses
sion of the Tenth Annual Conference
cf the National Tax Association here
last night.
“What taxing power needs today is
more power and less restraint —more
efficiency and less politics—more hon
esty and less pull,’’ he said, “and what
the people ned to realize is the utility
of taxation and that as they are just
and honest in their obligations to the
state, so will their Government be
strengthened and their living be made
more secure.
The township assessor as we find
him in most states today is an impedi
ment. While other departments of
the taxing power have grown and de
veloped, the township assessor has in
the main stood still.”
The speaker pictured the political
conditions surrounding the choice of
township assessors in Indiana. There
was a lively scramble for the more lu
crative offices, but the office of asses
sor was one of those used generally
for the purpose of balancing and men
of no qualifications whatever were
often chosen merely because of their
ability perhaps to swing a particular
; ! vote.
“What is the net result?” he asked.
“Hundreds of people escape taxation
altogether.
“The dishonest citizen can return for
taxation but a small portion of his
property.
“The honest man bears an unequal
portion of the burden of taxation.
“A premium is put upon lying and
dishonesty.
“And how could it be otherwise. I
doubt very much that if many township
assesors ever saw the inside of a
township assesor’s office before the
morning they walked in to take charge
ot one of the largest businesses in the
world, that of the valuation of the pub
lic property. He will not assess prop
trty at its true cash value, for he is
expecting further favors from the pub
lic. He is to conduct the office so that
he will get the most out of it for him
self, curry popular favor by lessening
the burden on the tax-payer and en
trench the party in power.
“I have but one general proposition
to offer and that is to take the town
ship. assessor out of politics and de
vise some plan by which competent,
trained and unbiased men may be put
in charge of this business of assessing
people’s property and then keep them
there so long as they live up to the
requirements of the office—and that
means to remove them from the
realm of elective offices.
“The township assessor as he is vo
ing. The township assessor as he will
be is coming. Look at him as he ap
proaches in the distant—educated for
j the job, trained for service, honest in
i his purpose, unbiased in his judgment,
freed from political coil and willing,
ready and able to devote his life and
talents to the bringing of equity, jus
tice and fairness into the administra
tion of our tax laws. Let us hasten his
coming. i .

AT LARGE FOR TWENTY
YEARS, MAN IS CAUGHT
STATESBORO, Ga., Aug. 29.—After
being a fugitive from justice for twent
. ty years, Jim Sikes, a white man, at one
. time well known in this county, has
been brought to Statesboro by Sheriff
. Mallard. The officer claims to have
. been an track of him for several
, months and a short while ago definitely
. located him in Florida. Sikes is
charged with the murder of Jim Hen
drix at the latter’s home when he and
, another white man named lee attacked
Hendricks with knives, cutting him to
, death. Old residents say there was a
party at the Hendrix home and the two
, men became rowdy and Hendrix order
. ed them to leave. It was then the cut
. ting occurred. Sikes made has escape,
t but Lee was arrested and while he was
confined in jail here died with typhoid
fever.
SAVANNAH EXPECTS DROP
IN PRICE OF GASOLINE
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. £y.—Savan
nah dealers are anticipating a further
drop of 1 cent in the price of gasoline
Within the next few days and predict ■
that the motor fuel will be selling at
15 cents a gallon by December.
Opening of twelve new oil wells in
Texas and Oklahoma is the basis for
the belief. Already the new wells have
resulted in a decline of about 15 cents
a barrel in the price of crude oil.
The new supply also has caused a i
drop of from 24 to 22 cents a gallon in '
the retail price of gasoline here. The '
predicted price for early this week is I
21 cents, with a probable further de- \
mine to 2q cents in the near future.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
’ - - -- -
' Wash away all the stomach, liver, ;
and bowel poisons before
, breakfast.
i To feel your best day in and day out,
■jto feel clean inside; no sour bile to
! I coat your tongue and sicken your
I ■
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
>
tion, bilious attacks, sick headache,

, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom
ach, you must bathe on the inside like
you bathe outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
' | not absorb impurities into the blood,
’ while the bowel pores do, says a well
-1 known physician.
To keep these poisins and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
, stomach. - ,
I Get a quarter pound of limestone
■ phosphate from your pharmacist. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-

also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac
i cumulation of body poisons, begin this
. treatment and above all, keep it up!
As soap and hot water act on the skin,
j cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so
