WEDDING RING KILLS WEARER.
Woman Refused to Take Band From
Finger Until Too Late.

Chicago, Aug. Y.-Mrs. Jessie Ste
wart Gardner is dead because she re-
fused TO take her wedding ring from
her finger.
The gold band was placed on Mrs.
Gardeners finger on the day she be-
came a bride. 1t remained there I'M
til it had to be filed off, but the fill
ing was done too late.
Mrs. Gardeners finger had increased
gradually in size. The pressure of
the ring became correspondingly
greater. The ring finally became in
bedded in the flesh and caused an
interruption of the blood circulation.
With much reluctance Mrs. Gardner
consented to have the ring filed off.
Owing to the delay blood poisoning
developed. She was 60 years old.

HOOKWORM DISPENSARIES
GREAT SUCCESS.
lao People Treated In One week.

The remarkable success OF the dis
pensaries established this month IN
the counties of Sampson, Columbus
Robson, and Halifax for the free
examination and treatment of hook
worm disease has surprised even the
most ardent advocates of the dfspen-
sary method for carrying on hook
worm campaign. The four District
Directors of the campaign treated
twelve hundred and e~ighty-iVe cases
last week and the prospects are that
the number will be two thousand for
khfs week. At the ~dispensary in Col
umbus County 412 people were treat
ed for hookworm disease in n day.
Those counties having the dispen-
sary are so highly pleased that they
are already asking that the dispen-
earies remain in the counties for q
longer period than vas at first agreed
to. Several counties adjoining those
in which dispensaries are located
have already offered the financial aid
which is necessary to make possible
the dispensary work.
How the DiSpenSarieS Are Secured by
Counties.
Those counties asking for a dlSpeh-
sary proceed in the following nam
ner: The physicians of the county
fndorse the plan for carrying on the
work for a period of from four to six
weeks as de- also the county board OF
health and the county board of edu-
cation. These Endorsements are then
presented to the county commission
ers with a request that they approp-
rate such part of $4,000 a week as
may be found necessary to defray the
expense of advertising the work,
paying for the medicines and paying
the travelling expenses of the labora-
tory man, provision for which an
be secured in no other way. The
work is accomplishing results salts
factory to the county commissioners.
Senator j. A. Brown, who was inf1u-
entail in having the hospital located
In Columbus County, writes as fol-
lows:
81 sincerely hope you can arrnge
within the next few months to locate
at this point again for a much longer
period. By this time the beneficial
results will be known to our people
and l believe a second trip will result
in a complete eradication of hook
worm disease in this territory"

Underwood For President.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Standpat re-
publican leaders of the senate and
house focked to- the white house to
inform the president that they would
fight to the last ditch before allow
ing either the senate or the house to
pass any measure over the presiden-
tial veto.
I'VE do not Spropose to let any at
tempt at making laws SQyer the head
of the president go through without
a fight" said Republican Whip
Dwight. Senator Crane backed up
this statement.
Dwight showed plainly that he in
tended to fight "this statehood mat
ter"
Said he: cit is net political in it
self, but this overriding of the pres
ident is intended to make politics
against him and humiliate him he
fore the country. Under these cir
cumstances his friends, inside and
outside the party, VII rally to him."
IT was freely ~7redicted that the
lining up of tho forces meant that
early adjournment of congress was
impossible and presaged a bitter fight
in which the standpat republicans
would seek to- prevent any measure
that was vetoed by Taft being passed
over that veto.
The house bill for the revision of
the cotton schedule of the present
tariff law was reported adversely to
the senate from the finance commit
tee. Objection was made by Over
man of North Carolina to Shoots
request that the bill be made un-
finished business. Smoot will repeat
the request later.
