Doing Good Job
Dear Sir:
Since I moved here in January
1993, the State Highway
Department of Summers County
has impressed me with their
efficiency in clearing the main roads
of snow almost as it faUsl I admire
the foresight and commitment of the
members of the department to keep
the roads open. Abig thanks to them
for what they have done up to now
and for their work in the winten to
come.
I would also like to thank Mr.
Arnett Willey of Pine Hill and his
friends for keeping our subdivision
cleared of snow and for plowing our
driveways as well• I might point out
that he does this as a community
service and refuses to take any
renumeration for the hard cold work
that it takes to keep us in the clear.
These are the things which make
Summers County a great place in
which to live!
Gratefully,
Symon Satow, M.D.

Becoming Obsessed
With Killing
Dear Editor:
witLetter .Th.n.tg. E
King was obsessed with torturing
and killing James Byrd, Jr. by
dragging for racist reasons. The
court mandates that John King
should be killed. That accomplishes
nothing w not even a deterrent as
other racists will acclaim King a
martyr.
Ancient justice prescribed a tooth
for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
Logically this means dragging for a
dragging, We are still civilized
enough to consider this barbaric. A
better punishment is total solitary,
confinement with no outside
communication for life, and only
those he hates supplying his basic
needs. Capital punishment is
inappropriate.
Fifteen Union Nation members of
On the,contrary, one European
nation practices legal euthanasia a
la Kevorkian or Hemlock Society.
People with terminal illnesses or
severe pain who wish to die are
clinically depressed. With modern
antidepressants, pain management,
and psychotherapy life for these
people can have quality, purpose,
and meaning until death occurs by
natural processes instead of lethal
injection.
The most heinous killing is
partial birth abortions of innocent
children for the convenience of their
parents. A normal baby 2 inches
from being fully born does not
endanger a mother's life.
Unless we give up our obsession
with killing people we follow in the
disastrous wake ofthe Herods, Nero,
Hitler, Stalin, China's cultural
revolution, Bosnia, and now Kosovo.
Cordially,
Ronald S. Seaton

I found an engine had come up to
the other side of the break ahead
of us, so aided by the conductor
and hag-a-dozen more men, we took
Agatha from the rude couch we had
made for her in the mailcar, and
carefully covering her with blankets
and my railroad rug, we carried her
in a blanket in the rain, a long, long
distance, through and around the
landslides, where water and mud
was knee-deep and put her up in the
cab of the engine. Had trunks, eta.,
also put there, on the tender.
Just then arrived the doctor,
whom I had sent for miles away,
hours before. Such a dirty, ignorant-
looking tobacco-eater I have never
saw. None of his physics for us, we
decided.
Away we all went and arrived at
5 p. m. The only tolerable shanty
for miles around. The old woman
had promised a messenger sent
ahead that she would receive us, but
when we got there, she said she
couldn't possibly.
I was desperate. I am afraid I
would have captured the rookery by
assault, and kicked the whole family
out, if peaceful measures failed. As
a last resort, before force, l might
buy the house, I thought. But the old
woman surrendered to my appeals,
and I carried Agatha from the
locomotive in my arms, and had her
put abed at once.
Fick & Kitch, the New York
bankers, and Gen. Wickham of
Richmond, Gem Echols, Mr. Hatch
and others were there on their way

Nicotine "Combo" May
Be Better Than One
System to Stop Smoking
Health hazards associated with
smoking have been widely reported
in the media. Yet. an estimated
25% of Americans smoke regu-
larly. Many smokers would like to
stop. According to data reported in
1994 by the Centers for Disease
Control, 7 out of 10 smokers said
that they wanted to quit smoking
and had made at least one stop-
smoking attempt.
Today individuals who wanL
quit smoking can try techniques
such as psychological counseling,
acupuncture, going "'cold turkey,"
and using products that contain
nicotine (gum, patch, and nasal
spray). All available nicotine-
containing products have been
shown to help some smokers to
stop smoking. Nicotine patches
currently are popular in the US.
Nicotine nasal spray is now avail-
able on prescription in the US.
None of these dosage lorms should
be used if one is still smoking.
According to a recent report in
British Medical Journal• combin-
ing a nicotine patch with nicotine
nasal spray may be more effective
than using either nicotine replace-
merit type alone. Individuals who
used these dosage tbrms in com-
bination were twice as likely to be
nonsmokers after fivo, yars as
compared to,personswha used
only the patch.
