Lacy will have to pay out In January
-1,036,000,. made up as follows. . $4lo,
000 pensions; $170,000 interests; $100,

and the State treasurer will issue a
circular calling the attention of sher
iffs to this law and insisting on lis
being cai ried out. As a balance In the
treasury, at the end of the year will
not be over $350,000, it will be abso
lutely necessary for sheriffs to obe
strictly this provision of the law.

REMEMBERED THE POOR
Annnal Distribution of Food Among
Poor Families by Children of the
Schools.
One of the most beautiful benevo
lences Is the annual donation of food
and necessities to the poor families
of the city. It occurred yesterday and
about 50 families were made happy
by liberal supplies embracing every
thing from live chickens to sugar. The
total mass would almost require a two
horse wagon to draw. The food was
largely composed of the more substan
tial nature but there was considerable
trult given away. The young people
tlways do this kind ot deed with the
res test zest and it stimulates within
hem the noblest Bentiments of char
ty. PLENTY OF EXERCISE NECESSARl
Plenty ot exerclBe must be taken
In order to keep the body in a healthy
condition. Any excessive or. unusuai
exertion, however, is sure to cause
itiffnesa and soreness of the muscles
and joints.
To counteract this effect there Is
lothlng better than Sloan's Liniment.
Lay It on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; It requires no
rubbing for It penetrates right to the
bone, relieves and congestion and In
flammation and makes the muscles
lastlc and pliant. " : '-. ..
Sloan's Liniment ia a great boon to
ithletes, for it-not only reltevea pain
md atiffness, but It is an excellent
remedy for sprains, cuts bruises and
:ramps.
Mr. J. F. Price ot Tuscumbla, Ala.,
writes: " I am an engineer on the
Southern road, from Chattanoogo to
Memphis, Tenn. The continued eleva
tlon of my arm upon the throttle glvee
It a sorefeellng when on a long Jotir-
ney, and there Is nothing that "will take
the soreness out like Sloan's Liniment
and I keep a bottle In my grip al
ways."
Death of Mrs. Ottls Banks.
The many friends of Mrs. Ottls

prior to her marriage two years ago.
No arrangements for the funeral ser

the Teachers of the Graded School.
Tuberculosis and Other Diseases
Can be Annihilated. . v
The following address was delivereo
before the teachers of the graded
school, this city, and some invited
friends, of Dr. Charles Duffy on last
Monday afternoon.
In my little talk with you today, 1
propose to take for my subject "Some
things which everybody ought to
know."
Should you start on a tramp back
ward into the past you would not have
to go very far before arriving at a
time when knowledge was a very
small asset in the possessions of the
human race. In fact, you would have
to go no further hack than to the
natal day of Adam and Eve to find
that man had not even the knowledge
of good and evil. Going still further
back through the centuries, we find
him a very feeble competitor in the
struggle of life, where he had tocon-
tend with the sharp teeth and claws
and hard hoofs and horns of hts
dreaded associates in the arena or ex
istence.
Beginning at this time and having
scarcely anything t0 guide Jilra, save
his fear of his enemies and his cun
ning to avoid them, all his energies
were needed to put him into the place
he was destined to bold in the grow
ing world, and at last to enable him
to lay claim undisputed to the proud
title ot "Lord of Creation.". It would
be Interesting to trace his . marcn
through this distant past up to the
present time, but even If I were com.
petent, it woold take years to relate
the wonderful thinga he has accom
plished; the wonderful difficulties he'
has overcome. We must pass over
the great mass of things useful to
know that have come down to us by
the sweat of the brows of those long
gone, long forgotten ancestors of ours
and set down to the things more re
cently prepared by the devoted few,
for the use and benefit ot everybody,
and which are now in such perfected
condition that everybody of ordinary
understanding can convert them to his
or her individual use.
These things will Jorm the subject
of my addresa aud will relate more
particularly to tuberculosis and a few
other ot the Infectious diseases, In
which at a community, we are more
nearly Interested, and to the obliga
tion that rest upon yon In the work
of their prevention.
It is remarkable that the general
public -have been alow la taking up
and appropriating knowledge of the
manner of preventing Infectious dis
eases, that are today slaying more
Individuals of the human race than all
the rest of the death agencies com
bined. We seem to have learned well
the tblnga that would guard
gainst famine, warfare, earthquakes,
storma, wild animals, poisonous rep
tiles and insects, etc., but meekly fold
our hands and quietly submit to the
Insidious ravages of consumption, ma
larial fever, hook-worm, eta, and lay
down our Ivea at their back and call
at the rate of 60.000 every year ia this
garden spot of the world, the United
States of America.
Now, to emphasise that this kind of
knowledge has been going slowly, let
me tell you that even no longer ago
than about the middle ot the sevenr
teenth century and for all the cen
turles before It waa the nnlversal be
lief that maggota, which were seen In
decomposing meats, etc., originated In
the meats, and were a part ot the
process and product of decomposition,
that they originated In these rotting
meats by spontaneous- generation,
I Rdt. an Italian Naturalist about this
time, having noticed nies swarminf a.
-ut ti4 pltcet where these decompoa
lit masses lay. convolved tba notion
tnt tht files might liavo something
i to .do with the presence ot .the mag-
to tcreened some meat and
left it to spoil. lit found that el-
though the decomposition proceeded In
exactly tht samt way, as in tht meat
infested by the maggots, that there
wtro maggots in tht mass he haa
screened. It was now plain that the
fly deposited tht egg that made the
maggot, that tba meat was simply
hts breeding ground aad had no part
in his origin or propagation,
This s Minis lo me to be tba first
work done la tbt lint that has led to
the surprising experiments whlch'fiave

though Redi'a work was so. thoroughly

and inaugurated vaccination for the
prevention ot small pox. At the time
Jenner did this, it was estimated that
10 per cent of the human race were
dying ot small pox. Things have not
always gone on smoothly with this
work In infectious diseases, for, not
withstanding. the long time since Jen
ner's day, and the apparent great good
that resulted from his work,, there
have been men, and are men today,
who have belittled and obstructed his
work with all the emphasis they can
bring to bear, and have carried thetr
opposition so far.as to have formed for
its hindrance an anti-vaccination lea
gue. The hands once' pass slowly over the
face of time, and more than 50 tedi
ous years are tolled out, when Tyndall
Huxley, Pastuer, Lister, appeared un
on the scientific horizon, and the
clouds of ignorance, that had so long
obscured this part of the sky, be
gan to break.
In all this long time, from Red! to
Lister, nothing of consequence was
garnered from this fertile field ot
research, and the germs of disease con
tinned their deadly march almost un
molested, except for Jenner's worn
In small pox, which now causes the
insignificant matter of one death In
every 1,200.
Do not let me make the impression
that it was a barren campaign from
Redi to Jenner, and from Jenner to
Pastuer and Lister. There were
giants in the field of scienre on that
long march, who left indellible foot
prints on the trail of years. Pioneer
work was necessary to be done In
these years aud was done and was well
done. Mechanics and optics were en
listed, and the microscope was brought
into action, but this foxy agent could
not be driven to cover until the 1-2
inch objective and oil immersion,
came upon the scene, when It suc
cumbed to the long Beige and surren
dered its coveted secret bv which
it hud been enabled to work its bale
ful Influence on the vital forces since
the belnning of time.
The work was now on the earnest,
with Cohuheini, Tappiner, Klegs, Schui
ler, Aufrect, Baumgarten, Rlndfleisch,
Chavan, Taussaint, Koch and others,
in the crusade against tuberculosis,
with Celli, Ross, Manson, and others
against malaria, Ebert, Koch Klebs
and others against typhoid fever; with
Klebs, and Loefler against diphtheria,
we have Reed, Carroll, Lazear, Agrl-
monte against yellow fever, and Stiles
against hook-worm., and skipping over I
a short interval in which much of Im
portant work was lone.
The master mind In the work on
tuberculosis was that ot Robert Koch
of Germany who, in his search for
the subtle, agent, discovered and de
monstrated the bacillus, andthereby
immortalized his name.
On the work of these men and hosts
ef others, wh0 devoted thetr lives to
the Investigation of these and other
infectious diseases, is built the edi
fice destined to break the vlvulence ot
these diseases. Already the death
rate caused by their ravages have been
diminished, yet, In this year of Oui-
Lord, 1908, In the United States alone,
not less than 50,000 victims will have
succumbed to diseases which are
strictly preventable.
In- getting at the things which every
body ought to know, I believe you will
pardon me for having shown you some
what of the work that haa been done
through the long and tiresome years,
chiefly by the men of my profession
in their efforts to stay the march ot
these plague work done with no mo
tive save that of the good of human
oty with no thought ot self inter

me ask ot you, that you buokla on the

Thanksgiving Da? was more gener

previous one from a business view,
that is, the closing up of all stores.
And from a religious point of view,
in the large attendance at all the
churches. With the exception of the
fruit, candy and soda fountains, ther
was no trade going on. The street
had the Sunday aspect, and while
many people were out, walking and
driving, there was no open hilarity,
everyone was enjoying the day, quiet
ly. Nearly every church had religi
ous services In the morning, and these
were largely attended. Christ Church
was as usual decorated with harvest
offerings, and baskets were sent a
round to the deserving poor, filed with
provisions. Collections were taken
up, generally for what migtft be call
ed appropriate offerings for the sea
Bon. There was a good deal of driv
ing, also horse back riding, the wea
ther being fine, though for trips on
the river it was beautiful, the temper
ature ranging nearly to 80 degrees In
the middle of the day.. A few hun
ters tried in the field for birds, but
most reports, said the weather was not
favorable for shooting. A number ot
social features took place which, are
given in detail. Altogether, the day
was suitably and pleasantly passed.

urday will say for Richmond and vl- ;r
cinity:
Trade In most Hnes is Irregular and
reports are varying. Retail trade In
staples Is dull largely on account of
unseasonable weather, the same' ''la'

to goods that are usually affected by
holiday seasons report ordering and :
shipping fairly active, tobacco contln- .
ues in active demand at prices that
suaily show an advance over last sea
son. Warm weather has been unfavor
able fur winter wheat and oats. The '
low prices of cotton has had .a de- '
pressing effect on trade through the "
South and In this section collections
continue slow. Drugs are active.
Building shows a decline.
