The Sort of immigration We Need.

Raleigh Progressive Farmer and Gazette
We are of the opinion that the
South does not need more labOrers.
We already have too many for the
work there is done. In fact, One-half
the men who do farm work could do
more than all now do if properly
equipped and directed. We have too
many laborers and too many "boss-
es" and overseers and idle proprietOrs
already. What we need is more
working owners, men who will own
land and direct the farming of it
themselves. We need more farming
i'll person and less by proxy.
We need men with some means and
much industry who will buy land,
give it their personal attention and
build comfortable rural homes, but
before these will come in large num-
bers there must come Il change
over public sentiment as represented
by the most prosperous of our
white population. The farmers with
small means who are going by
the thousands each year into the
NtliIhlldlI WI IuNtSU are IOU going
to the cold climate of a foreign land
III preference to the ehospitable South
ern climate of their own country, for
any other reason than that the
spirit which always attracts immi-
grants calls them. 1t is that spirit
which says to the desirable citizen,
Come among us,ibecome one of us,
share fully with us the rights of
American citizenship, and join hands
with us in developing and building
up our common country The de-
slrable immigrant responds only to
the call which assures him full share
and equal part in all that constitutes
the life OF n prosperous and homo
geneous rural people. There must be
no strings" to the proposition, no
reservations, and no assumption of
prior or superior rights on the part
OF any class or part of the population

MIR. ROOSEVELT'S NARROW ES-
CAPE.
He Describes In His New Book a
Charge by a Bull Elephant.

At last we came in sight OF the mighty
game. The trail took twist to one
side, and there, thirty yards in front of
lis, we made out part OF the gray and
massive head of an elephant resting his
tusks on the branches of a young tree
elephants hardly ever feed at noon. A
couple of minutes passed before, by eau
tious scrutiny, we were able to tell
wheher the animal we could see was a
COW or a bull, and whether, il a bull, it
carried heavy enough horns. Then we
saw that it was big bull with good
ivory. 1t turned its head in my direction
and | sawits eye; and | fired little to
one side of the eye at a spot which |
thought would lead to the brain. |

head of an elephant is enormous and the
brain small, and the bullet missed it.
However, the shock m momentarily stunned
the beast. He stumbled forward, half
falling, and as he recovered l fired with
the second barrel. again aiming for the
brain. This time the bullet sped true,
and as lowered the rife from my shoul-
der | saw the great lord of the forest
come crushing to the ground.
But at that very instant, before there
was q moments time in which to reload,

was so close that he could have touched

Recent Statistics on Hookworm Dis

On the subject OF prevalence OF
hookworm disease in North Carolina,
DR.. C. F. Strosnider says:
The discovery OfhookwOrm disease
will mean more for the people OF our
State than any other discovery that
has yet been made, provided the
State will take proper action towards
its eradication.
HOOkwOrm disease is causing the
State more loss and doing the people
more harm than all the other chronic
diseases combined.
By pursuing the following statis-
tics some idea of the prevalence OF
this disease may be arrived at:
During the past session, six hun
dred North Carolina college students,
representing four of our best State
colleges, were examined for hook
worm disease and more than one
third of them were found infected
with the disease. There has been
about twelve hundred of the State
militia examined for hOOkwOrm dis
ease, with the result that 36 per cent.
of those representing the Western
section, and 50 per cent. OF those
representing the Eastern section, OF
the State were found to be infected
with this disease. If the class OF men
representing the soldiers who are able
to bear arms, and students who are
able to attend colleges are thus so
heavily infected, we may naturally
expect to find the condition much
worse among the less fortunate.
This is emphasized by the examina-
ton just completed of the orphans of
the Odd Fellows Orphange at Colds
borO, Ninety-seven children were ex-
amined and ffty-twO were found in
fected with this blood sucking para
site, which is 53 per cent. of the total
number
These infected people keep the soil
polluted with hOokworm eggs passed
with the excretions from the digestive
system, which germinate into infect
ing hookworm larvae. The skin is
the chief part by which the larvae (or
worms microscopical in size) enter
the system. Ground itch is the name
given to the condition set up at the
point OF entrance of these parasites.
These parasites live in our intestine
for about eight or twelve years, but
donot multiply therein. During their
life they drain the system OF blood,
and at the same time inject a poison
into our system which brings about
many untoward symptoms.
The symptoms depend upon the
degree of Injection. The presence of
these parasites causes paleness, gen
eral weakness, d condition of poison
ing, which gives rise to severe head
aches, joint or other pains, heart
burns and indigestion, dwarfed
growth and children make poor
progress in their school work, etc.

Worlds Panam ma Exposition Con-
test.

The contest between New Orleans
and San Francisco for the Worlds
Panama Exposition in 1915 runs
merrily on. The New Orleans Expo
sition Committee is distributing
throughout the country a illogical
point map" according to which
there are seventy cities within an
average distance of 900 miles from
New Orleans, with a combined popu-
lation of 2O,OOO,OOO, while within
the same average distance of San
Francisco there are only eight cities,
having q combined population of
1000, 600 people. New Orleans
principal claim is that if the Exposi-
tion be given to San Francisco the
people of this country would be pen
allied $2OO,OOO,OOO in railroad fare
over what it would cost to go to the

IT is announced that President
Taft is going to issue an order placing
approximately 5000 assistant post
masters in the United States under
the protection Of the civil service law
and taking them entirely out of poll
tics. 1t is also stated that the Presi-
dent will this fall recommend that all
second and third class pOstmast ers
be placed under civil service rules. 1t
is said this is an idea originating with
Postmaster General Hitchcock. 1t
is n part of his scheme to put the
postal establishment on a business
basis and to make it self-sustaining.
He may do this but neither the Presi-
dent nor the Postmaster GENERALLY will
hardly succeed entirely in removing
the pOstmasters and assistants from
the pale of politics.

Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs, like
strains on machinery cause break-downs.
You can't Over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys,
bowels or nerves without serious danger to

Mrs. j. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland. H.,
writes: That did not break down, while
enduring a most severe strain, for three
months, is due wholly to Electric Bitters." "

There is just now a great deal Ofin-
tereSt in North Carolina in the Middle
West, where there are not only thOus-
ands of former North CarOlinians,
who have never forgotten their
mother State, but great numbers of
other people who are for the first
time learning something about this
State and its possibilities. In nearly
every community in North Carolina
there are people who have relatives in
the West who would like to visit this
State. They now have an excellent
opportunity to inform these ex-North
Carolinians that they can avail them
selves OF very low rates from Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana, on the 4th and
2Sth of October, to come to Raleigh,
to attend the Homecoming Jubilee
and Reunion during the Semi-Cen-
tennial State Fair, October 18th to
22nd, the tickets being good for
twenty-five days, so there is Oppor-
tnnity to visit any part of the State.
The tickets are known as Home seek
erS tickets, and to show their cheap
ness it may be stated that the fare
from Cincinnati to Raleigh and re-
turn is only S16.30; children under
II years of age being given half fare.
1t would be well for people in this
section to write their relatives and
friends in the West about this op-
portunity, and urge them to bring
some new people to look at this fair

Opportunity.
