PRESERVE THEIR PICTURES.


Comrades Should be Secured Now.
To the Editor: l read Mr.. Bradley's
account of the death of Wyatt with
much interest. There had been several
versions of the affair which was the
reason that | made the request for him
to give it as it was. Some years ago
there was published in Il State paper
the News and Observer, if my memoir
eerves-an article which gave the mum
Der Of volunteers and stated that Brad
ley Was a few steps in advance of Wyatt
when the latter fell.
Mr.. Bradley n~nodestly disclaims any
merit for the act in that such deeds
formed the common staple of Confeder-
ate soldierhood. But a seasoned soldier
and an unscasoned one is rarely tire
same man. Men learn to face death
with tortitude as they learn to face
other trying things in life, by slow de-
grees. 1t must have required courage
Of a high order for those young men
who had never faced death in any
zemblancc to look into his suddenly
unmasked visage that bright June morn
ing.
1t was then that not only the first
North Carolinlan, as Mr.. Bradley
states. but the first Confederate fell in

Wyatt was the first to fall on either
side. for Major Winthrop was killed
later. This and the fact that the deed
will lOOk down in letters of stone from
the Confederate monument in Raleigh
upon all future generations OF North
Carolinian s-fO when force or time IS
suffered to overthrow it We will be no
longer North Carolnians-give it unique
interest. Therefore everything connected
with it should be preserved. | should
much like to see pictures of these men
as they then looked placed in the State
Library. The daguerrotypes could be
kept till opportunity offers to enlarge
them. All riSked what Wyatt lost.
Only chance immortalized him instead
of one of them as the pro-martyr Of the
South.
At hast | come to what | started out
to say. Mr.. 7. NJ. Arlington. of Wash
ington. u. c.. had called my attention
to the presence with Wyatt of Mr.,
afterwards Captain. ThOrp, who still
lives near Rocky Mount. Mr.. j.. NJ.
Cutchin. of W~hitaker's, \. c., who was
a member Of WAITS company, the
Edgecombe Guards, writes me that there
were five young men that volunteered
to burn the house at Bethel. giving the
tenth ones name as PhallOu. as | g
it. | have written to Mr.. Cutchin and
to Capt. Thorp for their recollection OF
the incident, as during these many years
some interesting particulars may have
escaped Mr.. Bradley's memory.

HOW TO PREVENT THE DISEASE

"TUbercuiOSis is mot n necessary evil: II
may be prevented. and ii introduced. it
may be eradicated. Prevention should
be considered first Of all; the old adage
-"prcyention is better than cure IS
true here. AS regards human beings ii
is of course equally important to con-
SIDE" the question of curing the indiyid-
hal cases, but as regards animals this
must be a secondary question. Hence we
must prevent the animal from becoming
infected. How are the tubercle bacilE
absorbed? There are. of course, several
ways in which this happens, but the two
most common are through Inhalation and
the alimentary canal. 1t is useless to
discuss which Of these IS the most com.
mon. If the animal is infected by liv-
ing in Il stable with tuberculous animals.
it Is not important whether the infection
is made by inhaling the bacilli-laden dust
or by swallowing them with the feed or
water.
"On the other hand, we nus remem-
Der that infection may be made by intro
duction of the bacilli through feeding in
fected animal products sucn Is milk. In
these days of cooperative dairying this
mode of infection has assumed a-threat-
ening prCnortion, and patrons having
healthy CFNs run the risk of feeding
their calves with tuberculOus milk. Hi
has ben proved i'll many cases where the
tuberculln test has shown all the grown
mp anima healthy, while the calves
would react, and where it Was also
proved that the skim milk, for n time,
had not been heated sufficiently at the
creamery. All danger is eliminated by
heating the skim-milk to 81 degrees C..
or $50 degrees +.
1T must be remembered, however, that
very great when the udder is tubercul-
olls, whereas it is very small as long as
the rtuberclses are confined to other
Lirts Of the body. Yet milk from a
cow with far advanced tuberculosis nus
be considered suspicious. even if the
udder is apparently healthy.
A third manner of infection must be
considered namely, that through the
fGetuS. While Of Old tuberculosis was
considered easily Inherited, we now know
that in reality it but seldom happens
Most Of the calves are born healthy
even if their mothers or fathers or botf
are tuherculous. On the other hand, i
Is wrong to assert that heredity play
n" r~.e Ill spreading the disease. The
Tact Is that 1T may Ne transmitted from
the womb to The foatus, but only whel
the womb is badly tuberculous, or wheI
bhN I"itllll tIItulttt III the Dibod
which W" know only happens in animals
WIN q Tar advanced general tubercu
loFls. AS long as the disease is local
There rs 40 danger of infection.
The largest number of COWS which

sucn local tuberculosis. and hence there
Is no reason to fear THAT Il COW, which
