BIG ASSIGNMENT,
The Largest Dry Goods Merchant in
the State Has Failed

FAYETTEVILLE, Jan. 10.-F. w.
Thornton has failed in Fayetteville.
His liabilities are estimated at $225,-
600, and assets about the same.
Preferences and mortgages aggregate
$4,000. The firm was Of the largest
in the State, and the failure is unpre-
cedented for many years.
The failure is a sequel to the failure
of the Peoples National Bank, of
Fayetteville, two years ago. Concomi-
tant causes were the shrinkage in
value of real estate owned by Mr..
Thornton consequent upon cotton
prices.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr..
Thornton by his northern creditors

TYPHOID FEVER
How to Prevent the Spread of the Con
tagiOn.

RALEIGH, Jan. 9.-The fact that
much larger number OF persons die
in our State from typhoid fever than
any other preyentable disease, sug-
gests the propriety and the import
ance of bringing TO the attention of
our people certain facts in regard to
its origin and the best way to check its
spread.
Typhoid fever is q specific disease,
that is, it is net produced by general
conditions, but comes from special
germ or seed. Just as 30 confederation
of circumstances known to man could
produce crop of wheat unless the
seed wheat be first put into the ground.
These germs or seeds flourish in wa
ter. not necessarily impure water, ac-
cording to the chemical tests, and
while it is possible that they may be
brei-thed into the system, the accept
ed opinion is that they are almost In
yariably swallowed, taken in with our
drink.
The characteristic lesion, as we doc
tors say, in typhoid fever is an ulcera-
tiOn of the small intestine in certain
little glands called Peyers patches.
These ulcers are caused by the germs
which are present in myriadS, and
which are carried out Of the body in
| every evacuation. The discharges are
| thrown out on the ground usually.
| The germs, which are very hardy. soak
| through the soil into our wells, OF
| those of our neighbors at perhaps some
distance, Or are washed by heavy rains
| into streams which furnish the water
supply OF towns and cities.
| The object of THIS communication is
to place upon every person who reads
it the responsibility that arises from
Il knowledge of these three facts 1
That typhoid fever is nearly AWAY:
| conveyed through drinking water con
| taminated by the undisinfected dis
charges of some perSCn affected will
that disease. 2. That the only prac
ticable way to prevent its spread is Il
destroy the germs while they are with
in reach by the use of proper disin
fectant. }. That d good disinfectan
can be obtained by every man, n,
matter how poor. There are d mum
Der, but i Will mention only two:
Boiling. The clothing and bedcloth
ing of the patient, especially if sOiled
| should be boiled for, at the very least
a half hour. 2. Milk of Lime. Thi
is prepared by pouring on quart O
pieces Of quicklime a quart of water
which will reduce the Jumps to pow
der, Wh6reupon three quarts more q
water should be added. Keep in
well closed vessel and shake befOr
using. Add an equal quantity to til
dejecta to be diSinfected and allo'
mixture to stand at least an hour bt
fore emptying.
