Hook-Worm Disease.

S. G. Worth writing from Beaufort
to the News and Observer commend
ing the action of that paper for Civ
ing publicity to hook-worm literature
as it is doing, says:
The hook-worm is probably as
much an injury in it's region as the
anopheles mosquito. | met a profes-
sional man here ABOUT two years ago
who had been treated for orhook-worm
while student at Wake Forest Col
lege, five years previously, and who
said that he had felt fifty per cent.
better every day during the five years,
andsyet this party would never have
taken treatment, but from a desire
on his part to disprove the belief en-
tertained by the wise ones that he
was a hook-worm host. do not, of
course, use the name OF this party,
and the per cent. of infection disclosed
by the Investigations at Wake Forest
as stated by him, was so high that |
refrain from quoting his figures. The
presumption is that the above insti-
tuition has collected data which would
be of public interest. After | heard
the account by the party quoted,
wrote Senator Overman for the gov
ernment literature, intending to pre-
pare a letterfor your paper for arous-
ing all interest, but was anticipated
by the appearance of Prof. Stiles in
the field. an event for general con-
graduation.

1t Proves Too Much.
Raleigh State Democrat


The Educational Edition of the
News and Observer, which appeared
last Sunday. contains some very ex-
celient articles, as We would expect
from the men who wrote them. But
like other wise and distinguished men,
some OF them attempt to- prove too
much.
For instance, we take the following
from one Of these choice articles:
1.-The North Carolina boy belongs
| in his own class There is no other
boy in any other State exactly like
him. Itmatters not whether he comes
from the level lands Of the Eastern
counties or climbs the mountain
peaks of the West, there is something
| in. him, peculiar to the State OF his
birth, which differentiates him from
other boys"
That statement il charming
! opener. but il it means TO imply any
innate superiority OF the North Car
orlina boy over that OF the boys III
other States. the proof would be hard
to- make. To grade boys or girls
men or women by State lines woula
be a difficult undertaking. Nortf
Carolina boys are just as good and
lust as sorry as they are in othel
States. and that is claim enough tc
| make for them.

Baylus Cade OF Shelby, n. C., COM
plying with our request for a descrip-
tion of his typesetting machine,
writes:
Il have not yet written anything
for the press about my machine. and
| do not want to appear at this time
in public prints in the character of an
explOiter of my own wares. When
the machine is ready for sale to the
printing public it willspeak for itself.
| am not averse, however, to telling
you just what the machine is expected
to do. and you are at liberty to use
such information as you may deem
to be wise.
81. The machine will do any kind
of work that the best Mergenthaler
will do, and it will do some sorts of
work that the Mergenthaler will not
do, and it will do all this at one
seventh of the original cost of the
Mergenthaler, and at one-half the
operating cost of that machine.
80 My machine dispenses with all
the complicated and delicate ma
chinery in the Mergenthaler, which
distributes the matrices after the line
has been cast, the matrices in my ma
chine returning to their places auto
matically and at once.
"3. My machine occupies only six
square feet of floor space, and it can
be easily carried by two persons from
one place to another.
"5. All the faces in a printing Of
fice-from 6 point up to 36 point
can be put into one frame, and SO be
accessible to the operator without
requiring him to leave his seat.
20. The speed of my machine is
limited only by the speed of the oper-
ator. My machine is as rapid in its
response to the tourch of the oper.
ator as typewriter is.
sc The keyboard OF my machine
normally will be arranged as a print.
er's case is arranged, so that any
printer may operate it at once and
without any previous training. In
case of a strike Or other shortage o
printers, the keyboard can be rear
ranged within an hour as the univer
sal keyboard of the typewriter is ar
ranged, so that any typewriting ex
pert can use the machine as effectively
as II printer can.
81 The only power used by my
machine is ali air compressor OF one
half horsepower capacity.
50. My machine can never trans
pose the letters in words when th'
operator is faster than his machine
80. My machine takes all the diff
ficulties in the way of casting lin,
can be removed out of the machine
My machine is not more complicated
than a Remington typewriter is, ant
anyone can repair it who can mend &
typewriter
"My machine can be sold for 500
at very handsome profit to th'
manufacturers, at "a profit rs large al
anyone can innOcently make.
Il have told you what my machin'
will do. and | have not overstated it
merits in any particular. The inven
tion is not an inspiration. 1t is rathe
a 'perspiration, rs Mr.. Edison one
said, for have studied it. off and on

Carolina were good. Richmond,
Moore and Lee have good roads in
most places and are getting ready to
make them perfect to Lockville, in
Chatham county. The worst piece of
road is in Chatham, but its people
are alive and willco-operate to make
good roads to the Wake county line,
but inasmuch as there is no large
town and the population is sparse
the burden will be SO heavy that they
should have outside help. Wake
already has splendid roads, except in
few places, and they are being put
in the pink Of perfection for automo-
billing. Franklin, Vance and Warren
are putting such of theirroads as are
not good in excellent condition.
There is no doubt that the Capital
to-Capitai route will havegood roads
through North Carolina, but it will
require active work and the spending
Of good money. The home people
need good roads ii no automobile
should ever go over them on the way
to Pinehurst or Florida. But unless
we build good roads our own people
must pull in the mud and the advan-
tage of the Capital-to-Capital route
will be lost.

A Modern Farmer.
Charlotte Chronicle.

tHToHlcle.
1t is interesting to reflect upon the
changes that are coming over the
farming methods The farmer is be-
coming at once a business man, a
chemist and n mechanic. In an ar
ticle on this subject, Popular Mechan-
les says that the mechanical side OF
farming is more easily understood
Farm machinery to-day is prepared
to perform nearly all the outdoor
work. Flowing, narrowing, planting,
cultivating, reaping, stacking and
threshing are all mechanical opera
tions, in most of which the farmer
rides. His machines even are fre-
quently propelled by their own gas
or steam engine power, or drawn by
a traction engine. There are ma
chimes for planting, digging, sorting
and bagging potatoes; milking ma
chimes for the dairy; cream separa-
tors; power churns; machines to
spread fertilizer and to stack hay in
the barn; the horses are curried and
clipped with a machine. Most recent
OF all is a device which picks feathers
from fowls. The modern farmer Oper-
ates his own electric light and water
works; a telephone not only connects
him with his neighbors and town,
but stations are establised at in
tervals over the farm. When he
needs tool from the house in a hur-
ry, he phones and somebody brings
it out; he has his own road-making
apparatus; he lays drainage systems
reaching into miles; he builds irriga-
tion bitches and his own gas engine
fills them with water The farmer
with an automobile and motor wag-
on is no longer an unusual sight.
OF course all this modernism has not
reached the South, but it is coming,
and quite soon at that.

Singer the world knows that. But
consider this: When a Singer is bought and

q A cheap machine is neuer paid for. Every
cent expended for repairs must be added
to the original cost-it's an endless system
of instalments. These instalments, added
to the first cost of the machine, soon ex-
ceed the cost of Singer, and after each
successive repair (if you can get another

A Note of Warning.
charlotte Observer


The North Carolina Index, a negro
religious paper published at Pitts
horo, in this State, sounds this note
OF warning to the idle and vagabond
members of it's race: "You do not
have to work very hard togo to hell.
The indoIent and the idle man will
be found among the children of the
damned in the last and dreadful day"
If it could beat that idea into the
heads of many of its people the whole
race would be in much better condi-
tion financially and morally.

The New Coin a Failure.
Charlotte Chronicle.

1t was reported in this paper yes
terday that the new copper cent-the
Lincoln penny-is to be withdrawn.
We hope the report is true for this
so-called coin is the worst thing the
government has put upon the public
in the shape of money. From the tone
of newspaper comment, we are led to
believe that the county has been
scandalized by the new coin. The
sturdy-going Philadelphia Inquirer
thinks it is difficult to understand
why the change i'll the design of the
One-cent pieces was ordered. The
head of the American Indian really
meant something. 1t had the prestige
of age. 1t carried the story of the
early days of the country, when set
tiers had to fight for their homes.
There was no demand for a change.
As a matter of fact, there is no sense
in the change. 1t is utterly without
excuse. "The nation venerates Lin
coin," says The Inquirer. "but it will
strike most persons, we should think,
as a pretty poor tribute to him that
out of all coins we have selected the
picayune cent piece to carry his head.
The coin as it has made its appearance
from the mint, does not look like a
coin at all. Itresembles a medal, and
measly-looking little medal at that
the cheap little medal that used to
be given away with bags of pop
corn"
These remarks are altogether sen
sible. The Indian head penny is
known to all plain people. Not with
in fifty years would the new coin be-
come SO we'll known. In the mean
time. the confusion will cause many
a little piece of stamped medal topass
as coin For a long time the new
coin will be no more familiar to the
people than soda water checks. Our
recollection of the old twenty dollar
gold piece is that it far surpassed in
artistic merit and simplicity the new
one produced under the Roosevelt ad
ministration. Our idea is that coins
should be permanent. There is nc
| reason to make new form in place
of the old and satisfactory one. Null
tiplicity of coins is confusing to the
people, much more confusing than the
varieties of the same denominations
ofpaper money, and it's apity that W.

| There are gold certificates, silver, Ger

perhaps others. 1t seems to be a fol

| in an effort to perpetuate current ar
tits still a mistake. Money and art dc

mentary relations, vis-a-vis, as j
we're. The Treasury expert-the ex
