The Richmond Booster Train.

Richmond business men are pre-
pairing for a boosters train to visit
North Carolina October l, 2, 3 and
4. The party expects to visit Hen
derson, Raleigh. Hamlet, Charlotte
Greensboro, Winston-Salem and
other towns. The excursion idea is
not a new one, as the Charleston
business men used it most success
fully, from an advertising stand
point. last year. OF this train and
it's mission to North Carolina the
Richmond Times-Dispatch says edi
torially:
Next Monday morning at fifteen
minutes after II O'Clock, the How.
Dye-Do Special Train will leave the
Main Street Station in Richmond
bound for North Carolina. 1t will
be made up Of four Pullman sleeping
cars, two dining cars and two bag
gage cars, and before it returns to
Richmond will travel at least a
thousand miles. 1t will be loaded
with representatives of all the COM
mercial bodies in this town, of many
OF the progressive merchants and
bankers and manufacturers aud cap
italists of Richmond, who Will t.t['
with them into North Carolina the
good wishes of all the people of this
imperial city set upon these everlast-
ing hills. Mayor Richardson as the
official head and spokesman of his
people, will be with the Boosters,
and will give dignity that his high
official position will impart to all
his utterances on this excursion into
the great empire lying to the South
of us, and nearer to US in situation
and sentiment than any other OF our
neighbOrs.
The Special Train will make friend
ly visits at sixteen of the fiourishing
towns and cities of the Old North
State, where the voyagera will be re-
ceiVed with q hearty welcome by the
men who have built them up and
who regard this expedition of the
business men of Richmond with
great favor. Having completed the
run in North Carolina the Special
Train will move upon Roanoke and
touching at Lynchburg, Charlottes-
vile, Orange, Culpeper and Alexan-
dria, will pause Tor night at the
Capital of the Nation, and thence
return to Richmond.
Nothing like it was ever attempted
before. The Times Dispatch has
thought that it would be of the larg-
est benefit to Richmond if the Rich
mond people were better known to
their neighbors, 1t believes that
there is a great deal in the close per-
sonal human touch, and so it will go
down into North Carolina next week
with all its banners flying and with
the happy prospect of bringing lot
of good people together.
This train, which will receive a
royal welcome in Henderson, is
scheduled to arrive at this place at
6 O'Clock q. m, and will remain here
three hours. Everybody is invited
to meet the train at the Seaboard
passenger depot.

LITTLE GIRL PASSES AWAY.
After Lingering illness, Little Frances
Goodyear Yields to Death.

After Lingering illness, Little Frances
Goodyear Yields to Death.
After lingering between life and
death for the past several days,
Frances Adelaide, the little year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Good
year, Jr., passed away at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning at the home Of her
parents on London street and the
funeral occurred in the afternoon, in
terment being in Oak Grove cemetery.
The death of this little girl is made
unusually sad because of the taking
away of her sister, three years old,
only a few days ago-thus over a
happy home the shadow Of two graves
has fallen.
This beautiful baby life was so pre-
cious, so frought with blessings to
her parents that she seemed a flower
of paradise permitted to bloom for
a brief period by their side, then
recalled to it's nature skies, leaving,
in their double bereavement, the earth
road dark and lonely. The sympathy
of the many friends of the family goes
out to the bereaved parents and rela-
tives in their sad bereavement.

PRETEY LAUNCH
WAS TOTAL LOSS
r. M. WILSON'S LAUNCH WAS De.
sTRoYED BY FIRE NEAR BUT
LERs POINT THURSDAY.

Thursday morning the pretty gaso-
line launch of R. NJ. Wilson was COM
pletely destroyed by fire at the Oliv e
Grove near Buffers Point, and Reg
gle Dart, the only occupant of the
boat, came near losing his life. Mr..
Dart went aboard in small boat to
start the engine and as soon as ne
gave it turn the explosion occurred
completely enveloping the craft in
flames in a few seconds. 1t is thought
the tank leaked the night before and
the spark from the engine ignited the
gas formed by the escaping gasoline.
The launch was a total wreck, the
remains of which are now at the bot
tom of Jones creek. Mr.. Wilson paid
about $1,100 for the craft and carried
insurance with the Gale agency for
$500.

TEACHERS WILL
HEREAFTER Be
PAID PROMPTLY
CORPORATIONS WILL NOW HAVE
TO PAY TAXES ON OR BE-
FORE SEPTEMBER 1.
This Will Arrange Things so as the
Public School Teachers Will Not
Have to Wait Three or Four Months
for Their Money.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-Two measures
which passed the senate yesterday in
sures the prompt payment of the
school teachers of the state. One was
the passage of a bill authorizing the
state to collect taxes from corpora
tons by September / instead of wait
ing until the last of December as has
oeen the case in the past.
The other bill passed increases the
borrowing power of the governor from
100000 to 100000.
This latter measure was strongly
supported by Governor Smith; in fact
he suggested it as means of provid-
ing for the teachers in case there was
any unusual demand on the state
treasury at time when the teachers
should be paid. There was little or
no opposition to either of the meas
ures.

MANY STATES
FIGHTING THIS
FATAL DISEASE
INFANTILE PARALYSIS HAS
BROKEN OUT IN MANY
SECTIONS LATELY.
Health Authorities of Various, States
Are Studying the Disease IT. Hopes
Of congu ering 1t Before Il soreaos
: to All Sections.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Pkysicians
are very much worried over the spread
of infantile paralysis and health auth.
critics of various states are studying
the disease with view of checkins
its deadly ravages.
DR.. Howard Wyeth, in statement
today, said:
The most deadly disease that
threatens children this summer is IN
fantile paralysis. July reports from
the South state that the disease has
broken out in several widely separated
places.
"Infantile paralysis is caused by
living organism so small that il re Id
lily passes through germ.filter or the
finest porcelain It is believed that
this germ enters and finds lodgn,ens
in the nose and that children whose
noses are not clean are most likely to
become infected.
THE average period of incubation
is little less than ten days though
illness has sometimes followed - four
days.
1.-THE first symptoms of the diseasc
appear to vary somewhat with the in
dividual. Also, no individual mas all
of the symptoms. Restlessness and
irritability sometimes mark the ap-
proach. At other times, there is
apathy. Also. there may be a low
fever for a few days.
But even IL the disease, early 10
its progress, be correctly diagnosed,
the best physician cannot stop 1t
Like scarlet fever, measles and al!
other germ Diseases, this ailment
must run its course. A physician can
only put the patient in condition to
weather the storm as well as posi-
bic. AS a matter of fact, the NOR
tally from the disease Is only about
10 per cent. But many of the sur
yivors are crippled for life.
But While little can be done af-
ter the disease has developed, care
full parents can do much to prevent
their children from taking the mall
ady. The children's noses can be
kept clean. Also, certain disinfec-
tants, IL used as mouth and nose
wash during the summer danger
period, are effective: Al per cent. So
luton of hydrogen peroxide will kill
the germ of infantile paralysis. SO
will plain menthOl.
yet the germ that causes fnfantile
paralysis Is more yirulent than the
germ. of rabies DR.. Flener discov-
cred that the paralysis germ could
not even be weakened bypdrying it
for weeks over caustic potash, nor by
keeping IT. frozen for weeks. But bv
drogen peroxide and menthol kill it.
"Infantile paralysis came to this
country from Scandinavia. Prior to
1907 it had seldom occurred here.
Since then 1t has been epidemic from

AUTO OWNERS AGAINST TAX.
Think Fifty Cents Per Horsepower Ia
Unjust and Unfair.

Among the automobile owners of
the city there is considerable feeling
against the proposed tax which is now
before the legislature.
Almost to a man the local automo-
bilists feel that the measure is unfair,
unreasonable and an example of rank
class legislation. The fact that the
ways and means committee of the
house has amended the bin reducing
the tax from 81 to SO cents per horse
power does not alter their views in
the slightest.
They agree that any tax, even
though it were but one cent per horse.
power, in addition to the present
taxes automobile owners have to pay,
is unfair.
