Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 17-Dr. w. S.
Rankin, secretary of the North Caro-
lima Board of Health, gives out a
statement showing that there were
seventy-two foci of infection in small
pox in the State between October and
February last, that is cases that made
Independent appearance in the State
and that from these there developed
915 cases that cost the respective
counties $9,775, or $3.50 per case. This
shows IL 81 cases developed from
statement showing that in the cost of
small pox in the State, Wilson county
led with II foci, costing the State ST.
$50, and Forsyth is second with 16
cases and cost of $2,4OO; Wake is
next highest with foci that cost $500
and the others of the twenty-six coun-
ties included in the report show from
oIse to three foci and correspondingly
low costs of treating the cases. Furth-
ermore, it is shown that Virginia cost
this State two foci and $500; Georgia
foci and $500. He says the most re-
markable control of the disease was in
CASTOR county where DR.. L. N. Glenn
had six Independent foci of the dis
-
developed from either of them. Also
fnGuilford county superintendent Ed
mond Harrison had nine foci of in
lection and only 33 cases developed.
This, DR.. Rankin says, is especially
remarkable in that Greensboro and
Guilford are in such close touch to
Forsyth county which was next to the
most disastrous county in the report
from the viewpoint of spread of the
disease.
At the State Department of Agricul
ture the statement is made that there
are still numbers of sections, especial
" along the line of northern counties
bordering the Virginia line and in
some part of the west that continue
very dry, much to the injury of the
crop conditions. The rain, it is said
at the Department, continue to be
very much in spots. However, taken
the State over, the crops are develop
ing nicely now.

B. Fleming, to specify times and

Fleming is not a fit person to have

acts and time Of unfaithfulness be
specified came from counsel for the
wife and was granted by the Chief
Justice Counsel for Mr.. Fleming init
mated that his client preferred to re

agreed to give at the next hearing par
