Very Complimentary to Henderson

The following is from a letter to
Prof. j. T. Alderman from DR.. c. l..
Pridgen, of the State Board of
Health:
II am enclosing report and tabu-
lations of your school, which is fine,
very interesting and speaks volumes
for your school and community in
sewerage and sanitary matters.
OF the 2l7 school children examin-
ed for hook worm only 81 were in
fected, and of these only II were
hook worm cases. In the Eastern
North Carolina Regiment 60 per cent
were infected, in the Central 40 per
cent, and in the Western 80 per cent.
In some of the colleges it is as high
as 40 per cent. and in many OF the
country schools from 45 per cent to
60 per cent. Thus the Henderson
school with it's s per cent makes a
fine showing, and speaks we'll for the
town. About 6 per cent of the s per
cent infected do not live in Hender-
son proper, which is still more credit
able to Henderson.

FACE A STORMY SESSION.
Congressional Leaders Lose Hope of
Restoring Perfect Harmony.

1t is daily becoming more manifest
that Congress is facing a stormy ses-
sion and that there can be made no
forecast OF the Legislative results.
Leaders appear TO have little hope oil
restoring anything more than sur
face harmony.
There are virtually tour parties,
each with a large representation,
working at odds in the present ses-
sion. The Republican minority OF
the House is divided between regu-
lars and insurgents as was evidenced
by the vote in the speakership con-
test. The breach between the two
factions is even wider in the Repub-
lican majority of the Senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be-
tween the conservative Democrats
of the Senate who are opposed to
any attempt at dictation on the
part Of Williams jennings Bryan and
the progressive Democrats, includ-
ing practically all the new members
and several veterans like Senator
Stone of Missouri, who are Bryan
adherents. The House Democratic
majority seems thus far to have es-
capped break but the leaders fear
that the party contest in the Senate
may at any time spread to the other
branch. The situation has interfer-
ed with the selection of committees
and the beginning of legislative work
The real cause of the remarkable
uneasiness in Congress is believed to
be due to the proximity of the party
conventions which will select the
standard bearers for 1912 and the
knowledge that a slip by either dur
ing the extraordinary session or the
regular session to follow may very
easily determine the results of the
next national campaign.
There is no doubt that measures
on direct election of senator's, public
ity before elections OF campaign
contributions, Canadian reciprocity,
revision of the wooden and cotton
schedules and any further tariff
changes the majority desires will be
sent to the Senate in whatever order
is decreed by the ways and means
committee. The Republicans will be
pOwerle>s to prevent. The real leg
islative problem, therefore, will be in
the Senate. OF the fifty Republicans
in the Senate, twelve have practical
ly formed a separate organization.
The committee on committees prob
ably will accede to their request for
one-fourth of the majority places.
OF the forty-one Democrats-forty-
| two when Colorado oelects-seventeen
are on record as opposed to the elec-
tion of Senator Martin of Virginia,
as minority leader. Their opposi-
ton was based upon the ground
that Mr.. Martin was too conserva-
tive.
The division in the Democratic
ranks probably would not have been
so pronounced if it had not been for
the interview given by Mr.. Bryan
Yesterday deploring the election OF
Mr.. Martin. 1t throws the issue in
bold relief and it is freely predicted
that it will crop out frequently in
debate.

Get in the Race.

Why should not Vance county get
in the race to better farm life? Near
ly every county in North Carolina
has been benefited by farmers con-
tests. Let us get together and push
on toward the front. Let every man
in the county feel that it is his duty
to help better the county this year.
Let US have a farmers contest right.
The Farmers Union in this county
has already raised 800, to be sup
plemented by what the citizens raise,
to be offered in prizes Vance county
ought to offer $500 in prizes to the
farmers this year. 1t would be worth
$4,000 to the county. Let our
progressive merchants offer wagons,
buggies, reapers, plOws, or anything
they may see proper, for the best
acre or five acres of corn, cotton, to-
bacco or anything else raised in the
county. Let the guano men offer
guano for the most wheat, or hay,
etc. A committee OF five has been
appointed to accept contributions
| This committee is composed OI
/ Messrs. ". B. Daniel, Fl. NJ. Hughes,
E: A. White, J. X. Plummer and j
! c. kittrell.

The Bass Hospital Opens.

DR.. II. II. Bass has just had finish
ed the work necessary to change the
second story of a large dwelling
house into a small, but modern hos
pital. And opened it to patients
during the past week.
Last year DR.. Bass bought the
Lassiter hOme-place on Turner ave-
nue., and moved his family into it,.
And in this building he saw the pos
sibiIity of realizing q desire of long
stnnding-a hospital for Henderson.
At the time of the purchase the
residence contained, on its second
floor, two rooms only, but each as
large as two of the modern size, and
a hall. And with just this accomO-
dation DR.. Bass treated successfully
all of the patients that insisted on
coming to him at the time.
The work completed last week con-
sists Of the thorough remOdeling OF
these two rooms and hall, and the
building of u nurses apartment,
a bath, two linen closets, II hall lead
ing to the operating room, and a
oGi R'Ciy uP-IO u't't NlihihCiON OfSi GU
ing room.
The patients appointments are
done in white, and fitted with every
thing to be found in a large city hos
pital; and each accommodates three
patients, four beds would not crowd
the rooms.
At present Miss Elizabeth Osborne,
of Philadelphia, is the nurse in charge,
but in few weeks Miss Osborne will
locate in the city rs an independent
nurse, and a graduate OF st. Luke g
hospital at Richmond will take her
place
DR.. Bass, u graduate of the Rich
mOnd Medical College. himself re-
ceived hospital traininga at st. Luke S
and came to Henderson highly rec
commended by DR.. Stuart Mcclure.
His record in Henderson has veri-
fed this recommendation. This is a
small beginning in the supplying oI
a long felt need in Henderson, and
every indication points towards sue.
cess, which means d large, modern
/ hospital not so far in the future.
DR.. Bass is improving his grounds
also. The debris of the old stable
has been removed, and when stand
of grass is secured the grounds, with
a 24O foot front, will be 6
beautiful setting for the hospital.

Another New Hotel For Henderson.

The new Massenburg Hotel was
completed and opened to the public
Saturday night, April Is, and Hen
derson now has two modern first
class places of entertainment for the
strangers within her gates.
The Massenburg is a three story
frame structure, one block away
from the SeabOard Air Line Railway
station, and its almost square ex-
terror, with its broad piazza orna-
mented with white pillars, presents
a pleasing appearance.
The appearance of the lobby is also
pleasing to the eye 1t is n large
room furnished in weathered oak,
with the clerks desk, telephone
booth, and all other furniture of the
same wood. The left wing of the
lobby, partially separated from it,
is the writing room. This is furnish
ed with individual desks and lights.
Back of it is the dining room with
a seating capacity OF twenty, and
supplied with five tables, over each
of which hangs a chandelier. The
wood used for the finishing and fur
nishing here, as found throughout
the rooms OH the first floor, is wealth
cred oak.
A mOdernly appointed kitchin, a
| large glass enclosed back porch, and
the private quarters of the Massen-
burg family are the balance of the
rOoIns of this story.
The second story, reached by An
imposing stair case, contains nine
bed rooms, the third story three All
OF these are large, airy rooms with
hot and cold water. a desk, two
lights, and Telephone in each, and
are furnished with white beds, ma
hOgany dressers, chairs, costumers,
and with druggets that practically
cover the hardwood floors.
The front of the large hall on this
floor is fitted up as sitting room,
and when the weatheris warm enough
the rail enclosed balcony opening
| from the sitting room will be favor
ite spot.
The entire building is hot water
heated
The annex, containing twelve large,
we'll furnished bed rooms, will be con-
nected with the hotel by n covered
wav.
Mr.. Massenburg, the proprietor,
has been in the hotel business %
years. He is the oldest hotel man,
continuously in the same place, in
North Carolina. And his new hotel
is likely to become one of the favOrite
stopping places of this section of the
State

The Telephone.
Charlotte Chronicle,

Telephone service suffers from two
defects. When the line is busy there
is no way of finding when it will be
available except to keep calling. It
doubles and triples the work of CEN
tral for the would-be user to have to
make call after call in many cases
only to hear cline still busy" An
other trouble is occupying the line
with idle gossip, The man who pays
for phone for business use is usually
bothered by long occupancy by
some other two people who are talk
ing for want of something else to do.
Somebody should invent a way by
which one could find out when a
busy line is released and may be
used and make a fortune out of the
invention. The second trouble is
easier remedied. Charge on each call
and continue to charge after three
minutes.

A Mink Farm.

Mr.. H. W. Glover, of Dabney, is
the protector of the most unique en-

farm" This statement will most
likely fill "John BALI and the other
nristocrats and inhabitants of the
poultry yards with CONSERVATION.
A ditch three feet deep has been
dug around piece of ground measur-
ing 800 yards around, and five feet
of plank placed in the ditch, two feet
of which are above the surface On
this six feet of tin is to be attached,
making the wall from top to bottom
eleven feet. A rack floor has already
been laid, and also arrangements for
carrying in water supply from a
near by stream.
When it is completed, a large hol-
low tree will be placed in it to serve
as the dwelling place OF the minks.
Mr.. Glover expects to buy some
minks in this section and some from
other parts.

Keeping the River Clean.

Success should attend the efforts OF
the authorities to enforce the section OF
the District code which prohibits the
pollution of the Potomac River by
throwing into it the waste products OF
manufacturing.
The conditions in the Georgetown
Harbor have become uncomfortable. The
surface of the stream. especially in the
vicinity of the gas works, is nearly
always covered by a thick coating of oil
or tar. Not only is the result unsightly
and unhealthy, but it is destructive OF
private property, for many of the boats
upon the river have been almost ruined
The law is explicit and provides a
penalty. 1t would seem as if the nui-
sance could be avoided without resort
to law, but inasmuch as this is not the
case the prosecution should proceed
with vigor
