Pneumonia is the one prolific cause
of death which is steadily increasing

tins. The open air treatment ofcon-
sumption reduced deaths from That
cause from 245 per 100, 900 in 1890
to 100 in 1900. In the same period
diphtheria, under antitoxin treat
ment, lost just hall it's deadliness.
Typhoid, diarrhoeal diseases, even
paralysis, declined i'm virulence. But
pneumonia grew in the whole coun-
try from 9 to 1Oper cent. of allcauses
of death in the ten years; and in the
"area OF registration it now stands
first among the causes of death, sur
passing even consumption. In New
York the disease is especially fatal at
present.
The Pneumonia Commission of the
New York Board of Health il allowed
to spend $40, OO0-one-tentli of one
cent for every dollar of the city, share
of the army and navy billsfor il year
upon experiments to ascertain the
cause and cure of pneumonia. The
members are OF the highest skill and
their lahors promise good results.
In the meantime II practical obser-

last week of the critical condition of
Mr.. John S. Ellis, who was stricken

Gratifying Success and Development
OF Henderson EntrrJ,rise-Capital
3 Stock increased from 10000 TO
$6o,ooo.
At the annual meeting OF che stock
holders OF the Corbitt Buggy Com
pany. recently held, the capital stock
was increased from $4,000 to $780,
600. This means ii bigger business
for the concern in future-with more
working capital aud enlarged facili-
ties. ~
The business the past year was very
satisfactory, it being difficult to keep
up with orders. The prospects for
1905 are good.S They will turn out
5000 vehicles this year Their trade
extends all over the South-Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana. They travel four men.
The Corbitt Buggy Company have
not been robustness quite four years.
They have done remarkably we'll each
year showing a gratifying increase
over the previous years business.
Starting with $4,000 capital this
was increased to $50, 900 the secord
year. Now they have increased to
$50, 900, as above stated, lIpaid in.
Last year they built new factory
of their own, 120x2OO feet. The bust
ness has developed to such extent
that their quarters are not adequate
to present demands. They will build
an annex 60x150 feet this spring.
The Corbitt Buggy Company en-
ploy 60 men. They spend $40, 900
year among the merchants, real es-
tate owners and others OF the town.
1t is an enterprise Of which Hender-
son has cause to be proud and to
which our people should give every
encouragement and extend a hearty
financial as we'll as moral support.

1t is hard for the people Of the
younger generation to realize that
the Bell telephone is only thirty years
old. The first conversation over a
telephone which this. writer had was
in 1879 and the instrumenti in Virgin
ia was even then something OF anovel-
ty. But the development of the tele-
phone service since 1880 has been
something enormous This fact is
brought out iH a bnlletia just issued
by the Census Bureau, which shows
that between 1880 and / 902 the num-
her OF telephone exchanges ia this
country increased from 34S to H.
361, or about thirty fold. and it is
estimated that the number of talks
by telephone in the latter year was
more than five billion. The number
Of telephones in use in 1902 was q
315,297, or about one in thirt,y-fOur
of the population. The telephone
business now greatly exceeds that OF
the telegraph. The amount invested
in telephone lines in 1902 was about
$34S, (OO, 900, as compared with
$163, OOO,OOO invested in the tele-
graph. The number of persons en-
ployed by the telephone lines was 64,-
62S, while the telegraph employed
only 29,979. In that year the tele-
phone had in service four times as
many miles of wire as the telegraph
and Carried fifty-six times as many
messages. k8 s<
All these figures would. doubtless,
| show a marked increase as of the
present date. 1t is to be remembered
that the development is not, by any
manner of means. confined to the
cities ard towns. There are now many
local lines i'm the country, to say
nothing of the iong-distans'e lines.
the number of rural lines having an
average length of ten miles, being in
1902 nearly 5000. These lines are
owned by farmers who dispensed al
together with switchboard facilities.
The telephone is no longer a luxury;

Ii there were any dissatisfied ones
among the large audience at the Acad-
envy of Music last night when the cur
tain had fallen on the last act, they did
not give vent to their dissatisfaction.
There may have been few who felt that
they bad lost some OF their dignity in
giyinKyent to uproarous applanse. yet for
tlts no one could be blamed other than
Themselves. Weary Willie Walker and
his company OF fun makers seemed to
catch the audience from the very first
witty saying, and from that time on.
there was q laugh every minute or rather
a continuous gale of merriment until the
curtain had fallen on the last act.
Every member Of the company is fun
maker and q specialist. and each takes
every opportunity OF tickling the risibili-
ties OF the onlOokers.
There are several good voices in the
company and there is much good singing
most OF it above the average.
Little Bessie" is a marvel and is a
whole show in herself. This little child
has q. wonderful voice for one OF her age,
and sang and talked her way into the
hearts Of ALL 1t is worth more than the
price OF admission just to see the acting,
hear the singing, and to witness the spe-
cialties of this child.
Weary Willie Walker and his company
will always be welcomed to Orangeburg,

ance tonight, every one who was there
