Commissioners Renew Appeal

Communication to Be Sent Through

Case an Emergency.

The person responsible for the present
financial crisis in the contagious dis
ease service, say District officials. is
Anacleto Parabay.>the Filipino leper, who
Is spending his days at the quarantine
where John Early was isolated. While
the young Filipino is entirely innocent
Of deliberately causing the disturbance
at the District building and at the Capt.
tol, the Commissioners are now getting
data and information into shape for
transmission through the proper chan
nel'' to the Capitol. Vice President Sher-
man returned to the Commissioners to-
day the request for the adoption of a
joint resolution allowing the contagious
disease service enough money to pay
expenses through the month. In his let
ter to the Commissioners he called at
tention to the fact that heads of de-
partments should transmit communica-
tons to the Senate through the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
From Treasury to President.
The proper channel" left open to the
Commissioners now Is to make up their
request for the money they need and to
send 1t to the Treasury. from which de-
partment 1t will undoubtedly be for
warded to the President for transmissal
to the Senate again.
Anacleto Parabay enters the situation
under the caption of IAN emergency"
His case is bound up in the statute cover
ing deficiencies, according to the views of
District officials. Parabay's coming to
the city with leprosy constituted an un-
foreseen emergency, necessitated expenses

ta1ious diseases.
The first paragraph of the statute
reads: mo executive department or other
government establishment shall expend
in any one fiscal year any sum In excess
Of appropriations made by Congress for
that fiscal year, or involve the govern
ment in any contract or other obligation
for the future payment OF money IN ex-
cess of such appropriations. unless such

Saving Clause Quoted.
This law expressly provides that the ap-
nronr,at tions be prorated monthly so as to
avoid deficiencies, land all such appor-
tionments shall be adhered to and shall
NOT he waived or modified except upon
Tho hapnenin9 Of some extraordinary
emerrency or unusual circumstance which
cou,d not be anticipated at the time of
making such apportionment.' The case OF
Anacleto Parabay, the leper, Is regarded
as an extraordinary emergency by the
District officials.
There is no disposition at the District
building to avoid the law, to criticise the
iaw or To beat around the bush. Standing
faat TO their rule Of courtesy regarding
interviews on a subject OF discussion be-
tween tho District Of Columbia and some
manber of Congress, the Commissioners
are not making statements for puonca-

ediv be kept alive. however. by slashing
expenses to the bone.

Biz Rally at HulOzl.

Saturday, September was big day
for the people of Baxter and community
round about, the occasion being a
Sunday school gathering and educa-
tlonsl rally. The forenoon was de-
voted to exercises By the children and
addresses by Col. E. L. Asbill, of Lees
vile, ana DR.. Z. c. Ridgell, Of Bates
bUrg. The eXcrciSfs were held il the

In the afternoon Col. john Bell
Tow;!l prt>id ID over the meeting, in-
troauciag the speakers. Col. ToWill
was much ciated over ane completion
of Hulcn school house, and corgratu-
lated the people of the community.
He called attention to tae fact that
FIVE years ago farm lands in the COM
munity could be bought for four and
FIVE dollars per acre, while the same
land today could not be purchased for
fifty dollars per acre. Col. ,Towill IA
vored compulsory education and made
strong appeal for the adoption of a
compulsory law.
Miss Sallie Gunter read an essay on
rural schools, after which State Su-
perintendent J. E. Swearingen was in
troduced.
Mr.. Swearingen made stcopg ap.
peal for better system Of rural
schools. He was very much pleased
to sec the improvements made in the
school building and was warm in his
praise of the work of the trustees. Mr..
Sweariugsn discussed at length the
school book problem and urged the
cooperation or trustees in the enforce
ment Of the law. He did not think
the time opportune for a compulsory
law. but thought the day would soon
come when such law should be en-
acted.
Prof. D. W. Daniel, OF Clemson col
lege, followed Superintendent Swear
ingen. Prof. Daniel is well. known in
the community. having appeared at
Hulon year ago, and the mention Of
his time occasioned an outburst Of az
plause. Prof. Daniel made an able ar
gument for education in the rural dis
tricts, and struck responsive chord
when he declared that he was tired of
hearing the farmers assert that they
were being oppressed; that they were
not as good as other folk. every
farmer, If he is honest" declared
Prof. Daniel, "has the right to look
any man in the face and say, I am as
good as you are.'' Prof. Daniel IS a
pleasing speaker ard be he'd the at
tention OF the audience for more than
an hour.
L. A. McGregor, entomologist, in
charge OF the governments bureau at
Batesnurg. made an interesting talk
on the ravages Of the red spider, and
warned the farmers Of the rapid ap-
proach of the boil Weevil.
A bountiful picnic dinner was served
in the grove, and, despite the swelter-
ing heat, the day was much enjoyed
by the four hundred people present.

Good Effects Of Heat Wave.

According to an eminent medical
authority in England, who has been
talking about the heat wave and its
effects on the general health of the
community, a shade temperature of
81 degrees is an excellent thing for
a number Of people provided they are
strong enough to stand it. ITO live
for a few days in a continual state
of perspiration," said this doctor to
M. A. p, "is about as good a health
reviver as there is; it really induces
the same result as the fasting cure,
but in a better way. 1t clears the
system thoroughly. The only draw
back to this perspiri1g cure is that
some people find it extremely weaken
ing; those who do should take sus.
tanning food, but little or no meat. A
glass of port wine is advisable In
cases where the heat has a very low

OPIUM PROBLEM IS SERIOUS
Where the Poppy is No Longer Guilt
waited in China, Bees Stop
Making Honey.

Some unexpected results are found
from the movement against the pro-
duction Of opium in China. In the
Yunnan, one of the provinces where
opium was produced in large quanti-
ties and at low price and where a
great deal of it was consumed, it ap-
pears that the poppy is no longer cul-
tivated, owing to the recent measures,
and the poppy fields have quite dis
appeared, according to the statements
made by Doctors Talbot and Rigaud.
However, this has had disastrous ef-
feet on the honey culture of the re-
gion. In fact, the honey from Yunnan
was renowned for its quality, but as
the bees find no more flowers, the
production of honey is stopped as well.
The new crops which replace the
poppy, such as wheat or peas, are
not such as will give honey yield as
well. On another side of the ques-
ton, 1t appears that the habits Of the
population are not suppressed by the
present legislation, as some supposed
would be the case, but according to
Doctor Talbot, opium-sEoking is again
on the increase.-Scientiflc American.
