New York, Jan. With gifts
for public purposes totaling 49,
861, 900 Andrew Carnegie heads
the list of record breaking years
for phiIanthropic giving John D.
Rockefeller ran close second with
$17,OO0,OOO with Isaac G. Wyman
a rather poor third with a paltry
$1O,OO0O00. The total benefac-
tions reach the enormous sun Of
$15O,OO0,OOO.
This sum would more than pay
for years maintenance of the
German navy or the American
army or navy, and would pay the
debt of Greece or of the countries
of Norway and Denmark. If di-
vided equally among the inhabi-
tants Of the United States each
person would receive about $1.75.
$1,000, 100000 in Ten Years. :
The sum of the amounts given
during the last ten years would
make about 81 ,O00,00O,000. This
amount, if collected and saved for
a single purpose and bearing in
terest, would almost wipe out the
entire debt Of the United States.
Mr.. Carnegie, besides his $10,-
100000 peacegift,, gave $3,000,O00
to ten cities for the benefit of pub
lie school teachers, $3,8000,00 for
to his teachorical school, 81, 200
900 for German hero fund, white
the balance went to various institu

John D. Rockefeller gave ST.

Compulsory Vaccination for VIII
minrton.


Wilmington, Jan. lit is pro-
bable that the county board of
health, composed of all the regis
tered physicians of the county,
will hold a meeting tomorrow to
take action TOWARD stamping out
smallpox, which is prevalent in
the county. At the regular
monthly meeting yesterday after
noon of the city board of health
a resolution was adopted request
ing meeting of the county board
to consider to compulsory VAGINA
ton which is favored by the city
board. Should the physicians of
the county be favorable to COM
p1lsory vaccination, this action
will be taken by the county SAM
tary committee, which is in Nabso-
lutte authority in matters affecting
public health. The small pox stu
alton is not. alarming, but there is
desire among the county and
city officers to stamp out the dis
ease and set at rest any and all
uneasiness that is felt with the
disease prevalent in the county.

Standard Oil Co., alleging viola
ton of the North Carolina Anti
Trust law in cutting prices of oil
to drive out competition and an
nounced he will have the case UNI

fore announcing, his ruling. If
he finds the Standard guilty he
will impose a fine against the
trust that will in the language of
Attorney General Beckett in his,
closing argument for conviction,
BE such penalty that the ma.
ton will understand that in North
Carolina commercial piracy will
not be tolerated that any man can
come here and embark in any bus
mess, and none will dare to hurt
or hinder or make him afraid and
that it is land where, in CONNER

in his argument received figures
from testimon to show that the
actual cost of oil delivered in Raj
eigh is 1888 cents plus freight Bal
timore to Norfork and that the
present price here of 7.25 cents is

BOIL wEEv1L ON THE WAY

Feared That the Destructive In
sect Will Penetrate Even to the
Uttermost Parts of the Cotton
Belt.
Farmers of, his section of the
cotton-producing belt have been
much alarmed of. late by reason of
the report of Mr.. w. d. Hunter,
special representative of the De
partment Of Agriculture, who de-
clares that the boil weeyil menace
is growing in proportion every
year and that unless extraordi
nary means are restored to for it's
eradication it is only question
of a short time until the destruc-
tive insect will have penetrated
even to the uttermost northern
limits of the belt.
Statistics and 1nVeStlgat1CnS go
to show that the prevalence of the
bug during the past year has been
fearful and that it is rapidly eat
ing it's way into a portion of the
cotton-producing era of the South
which has heretofore been beyond
its reach and supposedly out of
the danger line of its creepings.
Measures are being taken in the
heart Of the belt to cheek the on
ward march Of this restrictive
agent of cotton, but it now appears
that unless further and even more
drastic precautionary measures
are resorted to, the weevil will be,
come prevalent over the entire
belt and add irreparably to the
destruction of the only monopolis
tie crop of the South Charlotte
Observer.

FOR GOOD ROADS AND MORE
or THEM.

That is the slogan of the new ma
tional association to further the
cause of highway improvement,
which was organized recently In
Washington and has begun work
in a systematic way to correlate
and coordinate the effortsof all
existing agencies for highway i'm
provement.
From the blazed trail to the
modern paved highway is a long
step, and the paved highway is
admittedly the, Distinguishing
mark of a more advanced, strong
er and more complete civilization.
1t is conceivable that there, could
be no wealth and education and
religion where there are no good
roads, but progress in these things
brings on the desire for better
highways as a means of commune
cation; SO in its last analysis the
condition of the roads in COM
munity furnish an idex Of that
community's progress.
Value of Good Roads.
AS the newly-organized Ameri-
can Association for Highway I'm
provement points out improved
roads will bring better schools and
greater attendance, better health
and quicker medical attention,
better farms and more cultivated
land, better crops and cheaper
transportation, better economic
conditions and more producers,
better social conditions and less
isolation, better church attend
ance and better citizens.p
Few men today dare dispute or
question the Importance of bring
ing the highways up to the high
est grade of perfection. How to
do it with the greatest economy,
by the most adaptable means, to
insure the longest period of uses
fulness and the lowest cost of
maintenance, is the problem now
engrossing those who are. study
ing this question.
With the view to giveing the
widest publicity to the extensive
work now being undertaken by
various good roads agencies, the
national association, recently or
ganized In Washington, has open-
/ ed permanent headquarters ia this
city. At its head is Logan Wal
Ter Page, director of the United
States Office of public roads. Its
