A Fearful Condition.

In the trial of murder case in
Wake county recently, Judge
Walter II. Neal embodied the fol-
lowing in his charge to the jury:
"In 1908 there were 5000 hom.
icides in the United States against
221 reported from the German
empire with its 10000, 900 people.
In the same year there were only
322 homicides in England and
Wales with it's population of
85, 100000 people; and in France,
with 38, 100000 people, there were
only 526 homicides. In Chicago
in 1905, there were 1877 homicides
as against "a in London, with its
populatian almost double that of
Chicago.
"In 1885 there were 1858 hom-
icides in the United States or 1922
for each million people, with but
108 convictions for the offenses
charged. In 1887 this number
had increased to 1885, or 1913 to
each million people with but
seventy-nine convictions for the
offense charged. In 1894 the
number reached the startling
total of $500, followed by but 49,
convictions while in 1904 the
whole number was 8, ,492, or 1,044
for each million people people
| with 116 convictions. No statis
tics are presented after that yea
but it is doubtful if any improve
ment would be shown"

TO TREAT HYORopHOBiA.
The State Will Take Hold Of the Matter
and Handle Patients,

DR.. G. A. Shore, state biologist,
has equipped the laboratory of
hygiene and now has it ready for
the treatment of patients who
have been bitten by mad dogs.
He is prepared to make diagnosis
of rabies from the brain of the
animals and will treat the pa
tient who has been bitten, with
an assurance of recovery if the
victim of the bite is brought to
the laboratory before disease has
developed.
The work is done in many states
but has never been done in North
Carolina. Heretofore persons
we're obliged to 60 to Baltlmoe or
New York for treatment, which
involved great expense, and the
state board of health determined
to take up the work here and give
+the treatment to patients at cost.
DR.. Shore is ready to do the
work now, but official announce
ment will be made by DR.. R. H.
Lewis, secretary of the North Car
olina board Of health, in the
monthly health bulletin.
After the disease has once de-
veloped in a man, DIR. Shore said,
no treatment will cure him, but if
the patient be taken in time after
bitten by the mad dog the treat
ment can then make him immune
from the disease. The treatment
is based upon taking the patient
in time. Raleigh News and OBJ

The fire started about 9:3O
o'clock, but when the hard fall of
rain had subsidized enough to per-
nit people to 60 to the conflagra-
ton, the building was past saving
and contents was doomed. Water
had filled in and around the mills
to a:depth of from six to ten feet,
and the uptown fire department
was unable to reach the building
at any point. The Cannonville
firemen attached hose near the
plant and saved the boxing and
shipping room. Outside of this
the entire plant was destroyed.
The capital stock of the mill
was $4,000. J. NJ. Odell is

Odell is secretarary and treasurer.
The latter was at Nashville, Tenn.
A number of mills and commits
sion houses had goods in the
bleachery for finishing purposes
amounting to more than 500, 900,
and it is said more than had ever
been in the concern at any one
time since is it's establishment.

ceiver of the Odell Mills, this city;
Brown Manufacturing Company,

were losers, but information con-
cerning them could not be obtain
ed tonight. At this hour The

ger of the plant, that the total
