ARP AND DOCTORS. ?I Recovering From Illness Tells of Medic!oe lie Took OUR PHYSICIANS ARE BLESSINGS Arp Says But For the Doctors He and King Edward Would Probably Have Died Last Week. I don't know whether I can write a 3etter or not. I will try. The effort will keep me from thinking about my self. For a month I have been play ing "Billy in the low grounds," but I had a good doctor who has nursed me night and day and cheered me up and comforted me and I am on the up grade, though as the Georgia crackers say, "I am powerful weak." This doctor is my son and he says he has not forgotten how his mother and I nursed him for three long months in Florida and saved his life and now I shall not die if he can help it. I take all his medicine, quinine, strych nine, calomel, spirits of nitre and cap mules without number, and tonics, too, and if I get well I will never know what cured me, but he will. What wrould the world do without doctors? King Edward and I would have died last week. About twenty years ago I had a spell like this one, for I had been working in the water all day trying to dam up the branch in the meadow so that the children could go in bathing. That night I liked to have died an old Dr. Kirk was sent for and .wa-ed on me for three or four days and got me up again. My wife told me then that if I didn't be more areful of myself I wouldn't live out half my days. She told me the same thing the other day, and she knows. Old Dr. Kirk is a trump. He was our family doctor until he got old and tired and moved away to live with his children. Before he moved to this place from South Carolina he had a love scrape over there, and he had a rival, too, and they fell out. The girl wouldn't have either one of them and the other fellow heard that the doc tor had told stories on him to the girl and so after the doctor located here his rival wrote to him and de manded a retraxit or else a fight. The 'doctor wrote him a stinger and re fused to make a retraxit, but would 'accept his challenge and fight him un til Hades froze over, and as the fight ing code gave the challenged party choice of weapons and time and place and distance he should choose rifles at long range and the next 29th day of February as the time and the other fellow must stay where he was and shoot over this way and he (the doctor) would stay here and shoot over that way and both must aim high so as not to hit anybody between them. But I must stop now and take breath. A good long breath is what I wvant. The old woman was asked what dise~se her husband died of and she sa.i the doctors differed about it, but ' Aealways believed he died for lack Sof breath. I don't want to go that w. I was ruminating about these physicians, for doctor is not the proper name. Doctor means a teacher of anything whether It be science of art or law' or pharmacy or theology. Physician Is the right word. It is a very ancient name for the profession. The Bible tells how Joseph got the physicians to embalm his oid father. but I do not think it was ' a very popular profession among the Jews, for It is mentioned only two or three times and with doubtful favor. King~ Asa had a disease in his feet and woculd not call upon the Lord for re lief, but sent for a physician, and he died and slept with his fathers. Then there was a woman who had had an issue of blood for twelve years and bad suffered much from many phys icians and spent all she had and was nothing better, but rather grew worse. The Jews unto this day do not give -much patronage to physicians or quack medicines. I never knew but one Jew doctor, though there are a few very eminent ones In the large cities, for whatever a learned Jew does he does well. There Is a docto! Jacobi in New York city who stands at the head of the profession and is consulted by the rich and great men of the nation. Now, let me stop for another good, long breath. When I was a boy wve didn't have but one doctor in the town, and he weighed 300 pounds and -1was never in a hurry. He left little babies around ever and anon and wrhen one came to our house our old cook told us where he got them and she slyly pointed to his corporosity 'He had a little office on the street and a few shelves with bottles on them containing calomel, salts and castor oil, senna and cammomile and Tertian bark, balsam of copaiba. and such simple things and i the corner was a skeleton in a box that stood upright, with a screw in the skull, and sometimes the little, long door was open and we school chil dren could peep in and then run for our lives. It was an auful sight. But 'the old doctor got too old and fat to practice and sent to New York for his nephew, Dr. Philo D. Wildman, a student of Valentine Mott, the great New York physician and sur geon. He was as smart as his tutor and went to cutting and slashing our people just like killing hogs. He strighitened cross eyes and sewed up bare lips and cut stones out of blad ders. The agonizing screams of poor little John Thompson, my school mate, still haunt me, for he was simply dying of stone in the bladder and the doctor cut it out. It was as large as a pigeon egg, and the little boy got well. My brother and Jim Craig studied under Wildman, and when they wanted a stiff they would go out to the Redland grave yard ini the night and dig up a fresh buried corpse and haul it to a little room back of their office and cut it up and boil it down and make a skeleton of the bones. I went with them one night and helped them to dig up a negro, but somebody rocked us as we were taking it out and we had to run for our Uve6, for they threatened to shoot. That satisfied me with the business and I -never went again. But our little town wasn t big enough for Wildman and so he moved to Columbus and made a great reputation. About that time the yel low fever visited Savannah, -and Wildman believed he could stamp it out and that he was an immune, but he wasn't. He took the fever right away and died. It is a curious coin cidence that three doctors from our town went to Savannth to fight the :ever and every one of them took it and died. But I was ruminating about the suffering and agony that the advance in surgery and physic has saved man kind and I rejoice that Crawford Long has been given the first place in the Hall of Fame. I was at school in Athens when his discovery was made, but the magnitude of it was not realized until long after. I was gne of the first to have a tooth ex tracted by the use of his lethean. Let me rest a while, for I am weak and nervous and, as ~ Byron said: "My visions fit less palpably before me:" I have just enjoyed a good, long let ter from my old school mate, Nathan Crawford, of Lincolnton. He is the honored school commissioner of the county and will die in harness, I reckon. He is in his eightieth year, but we were class mates, for he was one of these sure and slow boys, while I was precocious and uncertain. Only three of us left now, for Tom Alexander is living at Rome. Nathan writes a good, old-fashioned, cheer ful letter, and says that he never stole Frank Alexander's watermelons, and hints that it was Overton Young and a boy of my name. The only rea son he didn't steal them was that he boarded with Mr. Alexander and got a plenty without stealing. It is too late now for him to assume a saintly morality, for Tom and I still live to testify. But it was a good letter and the mefnory of Nat Crawford is al ways comforting and refreshing. Now, for a good long rest.-Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. THE CANDIDATES Names of Those Who Aspire to Serve the State.

FOR HELP. A New Turn On the Great Anthracite "Coal Strike NATIONAL EFENSE FUND PLANNED A Moveme.nt on Foot By Which the General' Public Will Be Asked to Assist the Strikers. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special.-A nation al defense fund to which all organized labor and the public in general will be asked to contribute is the latest propo sition placed on foot to help the strik ing anthracite coal miners in need of assistence in their struggle for higher wages and a shorter work day. Harry White, of New York, secretary of the National Garment Workers, and member of the concillation committee of the National Civic Federation, held a long conference with President Mitchell during which the plan was ap proved by the miners' chief and Mr. White will at once begin preparations to carry out the plan. President Mitch ell wants it understood, however that the miners' union will accept no aid until their own resources are exhaust ed. Mr. White came here authorized by several labor organizations. He says: "Mr. Mitchell says that before solicit Ing outside support the miners at work must set the example themselves by contributing a considerable portion of their earnings to sustain their fellow members in the hard coal fields who are fighting their common battle. Tihs will be determined upon at the Indi anapolis convention. Efforts will also be made to organize a movement throughout the country that the unions and others may be prepared to collect funds whon the time is propitious. Pub lIc men will alsp undertake an inde.. pendent movement and receive sub scriptions from those not connected with labor organizations. This move ment will be inaugurated in New York eity and the labor organizations and sympathizers in all the principal cities of the country will be called on to ap point committees to carry on similar ork. "All friendy newspapers will be ask ed to co-operate. The scheme in brief contemplates the concentration of the energy of organized labor in behalf of the miners' cause, a result which has never before been achieved. "It involves the raising of a given mounht of money each week with which provisions and other necessities of life will be purchased. The plan has the appropal of President Samuel ompers. The entire plan is contingent pon the. Indianapolis convention of mine workers voting down a motion or a general strike, as In that event, he aid which the soft coal mainers oid be able to render would be cat off as it would. be out of the question. o try to maintain the vast number of eople who would be Involved, tlhe op rators are counting on the means of he miners soon becoming exhauited nd when it is demanstrated to them hat the funds will be fo'rthcoming the ontest indefinitely prolonged, the situ tion will be changed meterially."
