lieved to be the only one at all tend
ing to seriousness.

Of Salem.

Salem, July 20.-Hon. j. T. Brooks. OF
Salem, does not improve in health. He
is now at his cozy and commodious
home, surrounded by his family and at
tmtive nurses. A New York special
ist, highly skilled In medicine, Is con-
stantly with him, and If frail body
and weak mind, made so by disease,
can be healed, his will be made well.
Mr.. Brooks is not an old man. but he
has done an immense amount Of mental
work. His connection with the Penn
sylvania company as general counsel
and his official position in the COM
pany, placed heavy burden on him
which he has borne for many years. AS
a lawyer he has been among the fore
most and as farsighted business man
ager of great railroad system he has
no superiors. He has been loyal 10
Salem and much of his wealth has been
kept at home as Is shown by the well
improved real estate owned by him. All
who know Mr.. Brooks wish for his re-
covery, but we fear the worst based
upon our latest information.

Are the Citizens Of Mag
nolia and Vicinity
OVER THE SMALL P0X
It Is Confined to the ltali ns--
Talk Of Building o Joint
County Pest
House.

The people of Magnolia and vicinity
are panic stricken over small pox
scare. There are three cases in the
town, and so many people have been
exposed to the contagion that 1t is fear
ed that the disease will become epidem-
ic. Two Of the cases are in Carroll
county and one just over the line in
Stark. The victims Of the disease are
all Italians who were run In there to
work in the brick works. There are
about three hundred Of these foreigners
quartered at the blocks, and the citi-
zens of the town proper will not allow
them to enter the village. The men at
the brick works refuse to work with
them, though some are still working in
the clay pits. AS result, these peo-
pie are all idle. They soon spent what
little money they had and ran out of
food. Becoming desperate, they sent
word to the townspeople that if they
did not send them something to eat
they would make raid on the town.
The township trustees of Rose town
ship in Carroll and Sandy in Stark, i'm
mediately made arrangements for
FEEDING THE ITALIANS.
The three cases are so scattered that
it seems almost impossible to keep the
disease from spreading. One of the
nurses who had charge of a case is said
to have loaded up with too much liquor
which he was taking as preventative,
and becoming reckless went down town
and made night of it, ending up with
getting in bed with another man. The
authorities did not take hold of the
matter at the outset in the right man
ner, it is claimed, and there has been
much carelessness. Now that they rea-
lize their danger, they are taking every
precaution to stamp out the disease.
1t is thought that the disease was
brought there either by the bride or by
guests at an Italian wedding which oc-
Cured some time ago. An Italian wo
man came from Italy to marry resi-
dent Of Magnolia. Guests were present

Durham, N. c., July 25.--At an early
hour this morning the store of A. Z.
Lloyd & Co., hardware dealers, was
entered by burglar, who broke the
glass in the skylght at the rear of the
building and thus dropped down into a
room back of the store
The room leading to the store was
securely fastened by a bar with a pin

GENTLY large enough to reach through and
remove the bar.
Between the front and rear part are
two windows. The robber pulled one of
heavy iron bars confronted him. The
other window had bars across running
up and down. Some of these did not
reach to the TOP of the window The

'BONDSMEN TO MEET
Ex-State Treasurer Worth
Asks a Conference.
The Day Fixed For il is Monday. People Who
Have Bonds in the Company Are Watch
ing the Case Closely.

formal conference of the bondsmen
of ex-State Treasurer Worth will be held
in this city next Monday, July 18th.
This is at the request of Mr.. Worth.
and he has notified all his bondsmen OF
the meeting. They are as follows;
John l.. Worth. Mt Airy; Dr. j. }. Coz
J. Elwood Cox and j. J. Welch. High

7. Morgan and W. M. Morgan, Durham;
W. E. Fountain and j. B. Lloyd, Tar
boro, and H. w. Jackson, Raleigh.
There was no formal conference held
here on Wednesday, though Mr. Worth
made known to certain of the bondsmen,
as stated in yesterdays News and Oh
server, his intention to make over TO
them, in trust, all his property to secure
them as far as possible from loss in
case they had to pay the Martin short
age. This proposition he will formally
renew at Mondays conference.
Those of them to whom he has so far
proposed this, express a willingness to
do their part under such an arrange
ment.
The company in which Major Martin
was bonded is the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company of Baltimore. 1t
has, as it's reports show. been doing
very large business in North Carolina
but many who now have bonds in it eX-
press their intention of withdrawing
them in case this claim is fought. One
Federal official who has large number
of men under him says they are all
bonded in this company and he is just
waiting to see what it is going to do
about the Martin matter.
Lawyers who have been consulted eX-
press no doubt that the company can
be made to pay the claim, though it may
cost a long fight in the courts. In such
event the company would, as a matter
of precaution, be barred from doing bust
ness in the State.
