ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SECRE-
TARY OF THE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH.

In the death of Dr. Thomas T. Wood,
of Wilmington, late Secretary of the
North Carolina Board of Health, the
State lost one of It's most patriotic and
useful sons. He was an able, cOnsCien-
tious and accomplished physician, an
amateur bOtanist of note, editor and
proprietor from it's beginning of the
present North Carolina Medical Jour-
nGL, always in the forefront of those
working for the elevation and advance
ment of his profession, and doing more
to promote both than any man we ever
had but the nearest thing to his heart,
second only to his love for his Divine
Master, was the North Carolina Board
of Health, which was originated by him
and kept alive during the years of its
feeble infancy only by his personal de-
vOtion and sacrifice of both time and
money, and through it the welfare of
the people of his State.
Having been honored by the Board
in my election to the Secretaryship
made vacant by his decease, cannot
assume the duties and responsibilities
of the office he adorned without thus
testifying to his high and admirable
qualities, the loss of which is irrepar-
able.
In taking up this workI feel that it
would be well to remind the people of
the State that the Board of Health was
created for their benefit for the pur-
pose of acquiring and distributing as
thoroughly as possible, information
and instruction as to the best means OF
preventing disease. Any citizen OF the
State therefore desiring such infOrma-
tion would confer favor by writing
to the Secretary, who would cheerfulIy
answer his inquiries.
The subject of pre- eminent interest
at present is the epidemic of cholera
threatening our country. The board
has watched the indications with
sleepless eye, and has given the sub
iect the most thoughtful considcra
tion. but it has not deemed the danger
imminent enough at any time to JUS
tify publications which would probably
excite and alarm unnecessarily m any
of our people. The danger is daily
growing less. and the board does not
anticipate any trouble during the com
| ing winter. but fears the awakening III
warm weather of spring of the germs
which may slip into the country during
the cold weather. when the vigilance
of the heath officers at our ports Is
liable to be relaxed. Should It's fears
be justified, the people may rest satls
lied that it viii exhaust every means
within it's power to keep it out OF our
State. From time to tine the Secre
tary proposes to publish in all the pa
pers in the State kind enough to print
them, short practical articles on mat,
ters relating to the preservation OF
health In the meantime, III you need
! information or advice on such subjects,

Secretary, Raleigh, N. Q.

THE CORN AND RICE wEEvlL.

Much complaint has been made to
the Experiment Station on account of
the damage done to stored corn and
rice by a small blackish snout beetle or
weevil. The loss caused by this little
pest in North Carolina alone probably
exceeds half million dollars annually.
This beetle is closely related to the
pea and bean weevil and the remedy is
the same-fumigating the infested
grain with bisulphide of carbon To
accomplish this provide a tight bin,
box or hOgshead, into which the grain
may be turned Corn may be either
shelled or on cob. For each barrel of
corn or rice add one tablespoonful of
the bisulphide and cover the bin or
vessel tightly with thick cloth of any
kind except oil or rubber cloth Let
it stand for twenty four hours, then
uncover and all the weevils will be
found dead. All trace of the disulphide
will evaporate in few hours and no
damage will be done to the grain The
insect eggs laid just before the treat
ment will not be destroyed by the
fumes and to ensure complete destruc-
tiOn of the pest the treatment must be
renewed In about ten days 1t will not
answer to use the bisulphide In Slated
corn crib, because it evaporates very
quickly when exposed to free air. The
bisulphide is very infiamable and must
be kept away from the fire. 1t is not
expensive Mccarthy, ~ @.

THE EGG IN cABARRUs.
The Campaign Closed in that County
and the Third Party Virtually
Defeated.

The campaign in Cabarrus county
closed at the courthouse In Concord
last night. and it is conceded that the
Third party In that county is defeated.
Yesterday afternoon all the Democratic
candidates spoke at the Old Field, near
Concord, and the Democrats extended
an invitation to the Third party to be
present~and participate In a joint de-
bate, but not a one of them showed
up. They all declined the inVitaEion
for a joint debate at the court i 1se
last night. 1t Is generally BELIEVED
that the Third party crowd In CANA
rus have given up the contest, an 20
not want to appear before the pUblic
again.
Last night Mr.. G.. Ed. Kestler,
young man who has been going about
as Third party apostle, spoke at For.
est Hill, on the northern suburbs Of
Concord. He had alarge crowd, but
they were all Democrats. and some of
them were loaded with eggs He was
not permitted to speak long, and went
away a walking Omelette he was
pelted with eggs for some time, and
the men who threw them were good
marksmen.
Cabarrus will certainly go Demo
cratic by a good majority, but the
Third party candidates have made a
good, steady fight for victory - Char.
LOtte Ne1cS.
I'VE have no idea that the egg bri-
gade can beat the good people Of Ca
barrus, but we publish the above to show
the reasons why the Democrats think
they will beat. No reason is given ex-
cept that there is more virtue In
eggs than argument. !"
