is TYPHOID MONTH
Health Authorities Issue List
of don 'ts.' <-,

Health authorities say that August
is the month most dreaded by them. as
it is known as typhoid fever month" "
A number of precautions have been
made public and the authorities are
urging everyone to follow them in
order to prevent the contraction Of the
disease or the transmission of it.
Among some of the ''don'ts" are:
Don't eat fruits or vegetables which
are not clean or ripe.
Don't drink water from dug wells in
the country or city unless the water is
boiled.
Don't swim or bathe in streams
where there is any danger OF contract
ing the disease.
Don't allow your premises to become
unclean or unsanitary. 90,
During the month of July there were
four cases of typhoid fever.

BARREL SHORTAGE
BLOW TO FARMERS
Great Apple Crop Assures
Much Vinegar, but Barrel
Market Cornered.

Owing to the enterprise of ]. E.
Sullivan in purchasing all of the avail
able whisky and vinegar barrels in
the city, the price of home made vim
egar will soar skyward this winter
Notwithstanding the fact that apples
are more plentiful this season than
for many years past. The price in
barrels has raised from 5 rs and 81
to 81 and 1925. Because of the fine
apple crop the farmers in this county
had been contemplating selling a
great deal of vinegar but it is impos
sible to secure barrels Mr.. Sullivan
it is said has purchased about 4OG
barrels.
The scarcity of barrels is said by 10
cal saloonists to be due to the fact
that a large number of towns and cit
les have been voted dry during the
past year. Whisky is shipped to the
dry towns in bottles now instead of in
barrels as heretofore. A number OF
saloonists said that within a few
days the price of barrels will go still
higher.
Farmers are in a quandary. Their
apple trees are heavily laden and they
are attempting to buy barrels of any
character in former years the saloon
lists have experienced no trouble in
selling barrels but there has never
been such a demand for them as a,
this time

BUDGET IS
BEING ESTIMATED
New Registration Law May
Make Increase in Ap-
preparations.

In making up the budget of the es-
timated expenses of the different de-
partments of the county government
for 1912, which will be submitted by
the board of county commissioners to
the county council at it's September
session, county officials are estimat-
ing that it will take no less to run the
government next year than was ap-
propriated for this year.
Before the end of the year, it is an
ticipated, Wayne county will have
paid out in the neighborhood of $780,
900, but whether the expenses of 1912
will be more or less. it is yet too early
for the county officials to forecast Es-
pecially is this true because of the
new voters registration law, which
promises to be very heavy expense
for Wayne county. In the state at
large it is expected the expense of
enforcing this law will aggregate with
in half million dollars. The commits
sioners may increase appropriations
for some of the departments of the
county, but as yet have not determin-
ed what their action in this regard will
be.
The commissioners are now on their
annual inspection of the roads and
bridges in the county. Just what the
board will recommend to the council
to appropriate for roads and bridges
will depend on their condition as
found on this trip.
In regard to the new registration
law, the county auditor has estimated
the expense will be in the neighbor
/ hood of $4,000, but this is only Cal
| culationr and may be way below the
actual expense. The new law was pass
ed to prevent. election frauds by peo
pie voting twice. No man is eligible
| to vote unless he has been registered
and he can only vote in the district in
which he is registered. There are three
members on the board, which must
hold May, September and October ses
sions.
| Just how much time will be required
for each monthly session is yet to be
determined, but each member of the
board will receive 81 per day which
he actually serves as a board mem
Der. There are sixty five voting pre-
cincts in the county and necessarily
there will be this number of registra
ton boards, so it can be easily under
stood how extensive the registration
| law probably will prove to be, ever
!! though it may assure clean elections.

WARsHIPs GUARD HIM.

PORT-AU.PRINCE, Aug. 3.-Des-
pite the fact that one British and two
American warships had their guns
trained on the city. several attempts
were made during the night to sink
the boat "17 December" on which Pres
ident Simon has taken refuge with his
family. The revolutionists fired at the
vessel with long range guns placed in
the suburbs but their Workmanship
was poor.
The revolutionists under General
Firmin took over the city today while
committee of safety" was in session
attempting to find way to reconcile
the different rebels and trying to get
the leaders to agree to an election.
The success of the revolution is
complete but what the outcome will be
none can fortell. Foreigners are timid
despite the warships in the harbor and
an appeal was sent to the command
ers at dawn to land marines.
Three Candidates.
There are three avowed candidates
for the presidency to succeed M. ST.
mon. They are Gen. Filmin, Gen. Le-
conte and Gen. Fouchard, all Of the
revolutionist party, although Filmin is
| mainly responsible for the operations
which brought about Simon's down
fall.
Although General Firmin, whose
forces occupied the strongest posi-
ton in the suburbs of the capital
has promised not to invest the city,
the greatest excitement prevailed
during the night and there were fire.
Quent firing.
| The committee Of safety is nominally
in control of this city, directing af-
fairs although the revolutionary lead
ers are the real dictators.
| Promises were given to French,
German and American representatives
that foreign interests and lives should
not suffer and the rebel generals pied
ged that there should be no looting
here.
General suffering Is experienced
here on account of lack of water, gen.
eral Peralte, a revolutionary leader,
having cut all the mains.
Feeling against the Simon regime
still runs high. Simon's high-handed
methods of authority and his whole
sale executions of political enemies
are resulting in demonstrations that
show the depth of the peoples resent
ment. One instance OF this was the at
tack of Haytien women upon Mile.
Celestina Simon, daughter of the presi-
dent, as she fled with her father from
the presidential palace.
Gen. Leconte. with 10000 soldiers,
spent the night at Gonaives. 1t was re-
ported that Gen. Zamor and ST. Juste.
who have an army of about 10000 men
would join forces with Leconte. This
was looked upon as political as we'll
as military strategic move, as Zamor
and St. Juste are reported to have bro.
ken with Firmin politically, on &C.
count of certain actions of the latter.

CONCERNED OVER A
THREAT TO CENSURE
(National News Association


LONDON. Aug. 3.-The government
showed deep concern today over the
threats of A. ]. Balfour and Lord Lans-
downe, leaders of the opposition in the
house of commons and the House of
Lords respectively, to move a vote of
censure for the government on Mon
day because of abuse of constitutional
privileges. AS result the cabinet
held a meeting this morning when the
matter was discussed at length and
plans were made to meet the union
ists' latest campaign against the veto
bill There was marked difference
on the question of sending the veto
bill into the upper chamber without
the creation of new liberal peers to
pass it.

So that the addition Of this item Of

xens have paid for Their service pipes
they were taken ~ Maury and added
to his report - things that the citi-
zens will have to pay for again. II the
city buys the plant according to the
Maury valuation.
Another item which Is In question
in the Maury report is No. S. 1896
So Is charged as "pavements"
A Little Indefinite
"Pavements" is a little indefinite
the mains were laid before the city Of
Richmond ever macamized its streets
or before Main street was laid. 1t
is possible that this item may be con-
strued as being the cost Of the steet
paving which 1t is the duty Of the
company to relay when main has to
be relaid-but even the depreciation
fund is supposed to take care Of the
wear and tear II the Improvement
of streets makes the value OF tha
plant greater--the Improvement. say
of North e street, will automatically
add to the going concern value OF the
water works.
A similar item for 'pavements" ov.
|er service pipes" amounts In Item
15 to $1O,51S.96.
AS the cost of relaying the pave
ments is paid by the citizen the Off
cials tonight may be asked to show
why the Maury report should include
this when ther is no apparent justifi-
cation in the present contract.
Must Be Estimates
AS the books OF the company up to .
few years ago were not kept in such
fashion as to show any such figures
it is understood that Mr.. Maury must
have estimated these-whether he es-
timated them at the suggestion Of the
company or whether he was familiar
with the present contract with the
Richmond City Water Works 10 not
known. But these items form another
very queer part of the Maury report
ON which Mr.. Gates. speaking for the
company has said the company would
be very glad to settle.
|, S31,S9S74 is set aside In an unintel.
ligible item in the Maury report. "Av-
erage interest on III years construc-
ton at 2h per cent interest"
What this is very few people have
any idea.
It is supposed that Maury. took the
present value of the plant-figuring
it at $500. .O00-this interest" does
not go much over $40 O.00O-nor does It
equal the $31.s9s.74 even when the
whole valuation including the going
concern value is added.
$4,000 is stuck In for Operating
capital
Therefore il the city buys on the
basis of the Maury report it will be
buying purely imaginary value along
with what the citizens have already
paid for.
A great many people have the idea
that the Ma,ry report is the actual
physical valuation Of the water works.
AS matter of fact these estimates
were arrived at by Maury working
with the engineer retained by the wa
/ ter works company

New Orleans, Nov. 18.-Cotton fu-
lures, steady, unchanged to 3 points
down., and closed steady at a net de-
cline of 5 to 7 points. Cables were
Indifferent. The weather map was un-
favorable, altogether too much cold
and rain being shown in the cotton
country, and this prevented a decline
after the opening.
Shorts bought moderately to even
up over Sunday, which proved enough
to hold the market steady. Shorts be-
gan to put out fresh lines in a mod
crate way toward the middle OF the
day, on the forecast OF fair weather
over Sunday for the cotton region.
Prices responded to the pressure in
rather a grudging way, but the small
decline that was brought about was
sufficient to scare out weak longs, and
offerings helped along the bears.
