Jno. A. Ferrell, representing tho
Hookworm Commission of the
North Carolina Board Of Health II'
spoke briefly of investioat;ons
which show the widespread nrav'
alence Of hookworm disease i
North Carolina. He explained
that in theory the eradication If
the disease was easy, but in prac-
tlce a great problem, the solution
Of which depended upon ednca-
tional work. Many questions were
asked and requests made that
cases be described as they USUALLY
are before and after treatment
Prof. Highsmith, of Wake Forest
college, cited two or there inter.
esting cases he had seen. Then
Superintendent Thompson, Of Ons-
10y county, spoke of the wonder
ful improvements which had re-
suited among hookworm victims
III his county since hundreds of
people had been cured of the dis
ease. He named and described
several cases which came under
his observation, and the results eff
fected by the cure of the disease
were wonderful. Concluding his
remarks, he introduced the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas we, the members Of the
Association of County Superinten-
dents of Schools Of North Carroll
ma, are convinced of the wide
spread prevalence Of hookworm
disease In the State, and that the
disease occasions inestimable loss
to the state in lives, vitality, citi-
zenship and material wealth; and
whereas the disease is both pre-
ventable and durable,
Be it resolved, that the Associa-
ton hereby pledges its co-opera-
ton in all well organized move
ments for the eradication of the
disease and further realizing that
such a movement has already been
inaugurated, we recomend that
the state take such steps as may be
found necessary to aid in c
plishing the desired end.
Instead of referring the resolu-
ton to the Committee on Rules,
the rules were suspended and the
resolution voted on and adopted
without a dissenting vote.
The meeting adjourned Friday
after a most successful and pleas
ant meeting.

TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES.
Suggested Remedies it is Said
). Would Cure Both These Evils.

Cleveland Star.
The whole tariff issue, as far
as the great majority of the peo-
pie are concerned, is the question
Of prices. All the caviling of po-
liticians and the quibbling of
those protected by the tariff can
not disguise the fact that under
Republican tariff laws the cost Of
living has vastly increased, and
many people have not received an
advance In incomes or wages to
meet the average enhanced price
al lthey buy. Nor can it be denied
that under these Republican tariff
laws there has been formed trusts
and combinations which have ad.
vanced the average price of COM
modities over go per cent during
the past fourteen years. The pro-
lection theory that competition
between manufacturers for the
home market keeps the price they
charge for their products here
within a reasonable scope pven
if the sell cheaper abroad.
has entirely broken down in con-
sequence of combinations. which
have advanced prices beyond all
that was thought possible. The
high tariff rates on most articles
prevent competition from abroad,
and the combining of manufacture
r has very greatly eliminated
competition at home, so that if
the present tariff is continued
there is no relief in sight.
These are two remedies that
will reduce these high prices;
namely, to curb the trusts and
combines so that home competi-
ton would in a measure prevail
and to reduce the tariff that COM
petition from abroad will compel
reasonable prices here.
The tariff is not responsible for
all the vast increase in prices nei-
Their are the trusts and combines;
but these causes can be safely
charged with more than half of
the increase. Under a tariff for
revenue only, prices have advanc-
ed in England about % per cent,
and the causes for such increase
are world wide. In protected
Germany and France prices have
increased as much as here, and
combinations in restraint of
trade similar to our trusts are
prevalent. The Republican poll
ticians and stumps speakers will,
Of course, try to befog the tariff
issue with a great mass Of details
and figures which but few can
understand to tell the plain facts
would give away the whole pro-
lection theory which is already
breaking down of its own
weight and the practical injustice
taxing all the people for the

GOODNESS PREVENTS SPILL.
Ward Smiths Presence Of Mind Saves
His Automobile and Lives.

The presence of mind and ceolncss
OF Ward Smith of Houghton probably
saved couple of lives Saturday after
noon and also prevented the wrecking
Of Mr.. smiths big touring car. With
Captain Dick Hall. superintendent of
the Tank Pass mines in Arizona, who
is visiting him here, and Thomas Null
len Of this village as passengers, Mr..
Smith was i'm his automobile in Han
cock when the rain storm broke Sat-
urday afternoon. He headed the car
towards Houghton and, as he was
turning at the approach to the bridge
on Front street over the famous fill at
this point, the big car skidded and
plunged toward the railing of the
bridge.
As the car struck the railing of the
bridge with it's mud guard, Messrs.
Hall and Mullen leaped to the road,
fearing the car would go into the ra-
vine. Mr.. Smith stuck to the wheel of
his machine and. by good luck. brought
her around the other way. AS the car
swung in the opposite direction, the
rear wheels again skidden and, for a
moment one of the wheels hung over
the side Of the bridge where the rail
had been torn away. Mr.. Smith soon
had his machine i'm the middle of the
bridge and brought his passengers in
safety TO Houghton.
In telling of his experience Capt.
Hall said that he was once seated upon
a wagon load Of dynamite when the
horses attached to the rig made up
their minds to and did run away down
Tank Pass hill but he thinks this last
venture of his is just a little more hair
raising than the dynamite episode. He
was loud in his praise of Mr.. Smiths
ability as a driver saying that he fears
all of them would have been killed if
the Houghton man had not stuck to
the wheel.

NEWS FROM HOUGHTON
COPPER COUNTRY TREATED
TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL

In just "a hours. according to the
official observations of II. Il. cowdrick
observer in charge of the Houghton
station of the weather bureau. nearly
an inch and one-half of rain fell al
Houghton and in the surround
ing territory. To be accurate

and ending at about the same hour on

This rain was quite general. Mar
stations I'm this part of the country re-
porting about the same amount of rain
fall i'm the same period OF time. II is
generally agreed that this rain. al
though il is rather late. will be OF
much benefit to the farmers, as IL will
make the potatoes and other vegetables
grow and may. If more rain falls, pro-
duce a second crop of hay
Late Saturday night a terrible crash
Of lightning struck somewhere i'm East
Houghton and il is remarkable that
more damage was not reported this
morning than the disability of the tel
ephone and electric light circuits in
that section of the village. The tele-
phone company's chief operator report
ed that about five hundred of the 1900
lines of the company were dead" di-
rectly after this electric explosion.
The lights in the majority of the
homes in East Houghton were extin-
guished and the company's hnemen
we're ordered out TO locate the trouble.
They found that the transformer on
the pole at the corner of Sheldon and
Lake streets had been put out of COM
mission. This damage was repaired
Sunday morning. The lines OF the tel
ephone company were also again plac-
ed in commission.
Another beneficial result Of the rain
was the putting out Of the many bush
fires all around this part of the coun-
try. The air around Houghton is now
clear of smoke for the first time in
over a week. The hills above Ripley
have taken on a new and greener look
than they have had since early in the
spring.
