Salisbury Post.
1t might be said that an April
fooPs joke was,played upon the
ANIMALS OF Sparks shows yester-
day but it was a joke that may.
be they did not appreciate ut
that. You see they are fed daily
during the week and then fast on
Sunday. This, according to the
ideas OF our great animal author
tiles and trainers, is necessary
for their health as it rests their
digestion and prevents them from
growing too fat and lazy. AS a
usual thing they were allow ed t,
doze peacefully all day and rest,
but Yesterday it was different.
In the first place the largest
crowd OF the winter was out to
inspect them and it is estimated
that more than 1900 people
journeyed out to the park during
the day by trolley, by private
conveyances, in JOY wagons and
on foot AMI this crowd with the
attendant hustle and excitement
was a surprise party to the ami
mails. Disturbed from their slum.
berS they paced up and down
their cages and put on their best
on-theroad reception manners.
At 2 o'clock came the next big
surprise and it was surprise par
ty number two. Prof. Alonzo
Turner, leader of the side show
tand. brought out his band OF
ten men and gaye a two-hour
concert that greatly pleased the
big crowd. As the band broke in.

stopped stock still and 1t was a.
musiny to watch the look OF a.
mazempnt that spread over their
countenances. Apparently tick
led over the fact that the season
had opened they united in ashout
of Joy. The hons roared. the leo
pard mewed, the tigers deep
voice was lifted up in gladn .ss

TYPHOID FEVER, A PREvENTA.
BLE DISEASE.

Raleigh Times.
1t is rather startling to lie tolt
that in 1910 there were more
cases of typhoid in the United
! slater, with a population not
half az large IN chat of India
and that there were four times as
many cases OF typhoid in the
United States as cases OF icholera
in Russia,,during a period inclu.
ding the epidemic OF 1910. These
figures are taken from an article
by McLnughln, Of the Marine
Hospital service, who snys that
we consider, with apprehension
the countries in which cEolpra
and and plague occur frequently
and call them pestridden coun.
tries, but do not consider the
problem of typhoid fever in our
own country sufficient serious
ness He gave tables to show
that within the registration area
in the United states, in fifty cit
les having an aggregate popula-
tion OF over 10000, 900 the av-
erage typhoid deathratefor 1910
was 25 per hundred thousand in
habitan's. In one city in that
year it amounted TO SG.7 per
hundred thousand, and in sever.
al cities it amounted to. As or
more. In ten OF the largest cit.
les of northern Europe. comprl.
sing n population of 10000.
600, the average typhoid death
rate per hundred thousand of
population during a period OF ten
years, from 1901 to 1910, was
only 3 +, and in 1910 the rate
was gone down t. 2.5. Itlscon.
s'dered IN Europe that a DEATH
rate OF 13 tu Is per hundred
thousand constitutes a rather
serious reflection on the sanitary
management or the water snp.
plies OF such cities. And yet the
figures are far below the average
of the fifty cities in the United
States above referred to, in which
the death-rate was 25 per hun.
dred thousand of populati ton.
Leaving out of accountsurhrau-
ses of typhoid as infected food
and milk. contact, carriers, etc,
M"Langhin believes that this
leath.ratr can be materially re-
duced hy flteriny the water-sup.
plies of onr cities, which are too
largely contaminated by sewage.
Not only ls this high death-ratp
from typhoid fever TO BE- dpplor-
ed on humanitarian grounds,
bnt the ocrnrraDce OF such a large
number of cases represents an e..
onomic loss 81 great as to be al.
most incalculablp. Our legislnt-
ors and city authorities shonld
feel the. obligation to adoptmore
vigorous ne ;hods of preventing
tine enormous waste Of human
energy, earning capacity and hu-
man energy.

Some Mountain People.
Mount Airy News.

Mount Airy News.
1t is. timely and proper to dis
cnss at length the conditions
that are present IN that part o
the mountains where men live
who are capable of taking h {
law into their own hands and ad.
minister punishment to their Of
tenders as was done at Hillsyille
on March IA.
To judge properly the sit tuation
one must know the country as
well as thepeople. The Blue Ridge
range OF mountains pass through
a number OF counties in Virginia
and western North Carolina and
in the face of the mountain,
which is something like an aver
age OF five miles wide, the land is
rough and rugged to u degree
that one who has not been there
can hardly form an idea OF how
rough and rugged the country re
ally is Spurs of the mountains
extend out into the country
and on these spurs the conditions
are similar TO those in the face of
the mountain proper.
The farms are small and corn
is the crop that the people de.
pend largely upon for a living.
The homes are, many of them,
built lar back in the mountain
valleys where it is not practical
to buAd large and roomy houses,
if the people were able to build
them. For this reason there il no
house pride. Well.to-do citizsns
are often found living in one or
two room houses. The land pro-
dnccs good corn, but wheat and
cotton and tobacco are neither
grown to advantage.
The people live in isolated con-
ditions that are such that chur.
ches and schools have never pros
pered as they do in more level
countries. In all that mountain
section the Primitive Baptist
ministers arr almost alone in
their efforts to enlighten the peo-
pie. These Ialth hful ministers make
their Lying on their farms, as do
the other people. and receive al.
most nothing for their services
to the public. They preach a CAL
vpnistic doctrine that is the ran
kest fatallsm and one of their
fundamental principles is that a
minist er should n 1t receive a sal.
AIRY for his services as n minister.
"M hat il to be will be- is Il fun
damental doctrine and God will
save men when He wants them
sayed is preached as a fact. The
result is that the people h a e.
never been taught to CONSIDER
the great questions of the Cos
pei as they are tanght by pro-
greSsive ministers The fundamen
tai doctrines held by the men OF
the mountains is to he honest
and virtuous.
The Primitive Baptist people
have always had the reputation
of standing for strict honesty in
all dealing and q man will he

es for not paying a debt more
quickly than he would for almost
any other charge.
The result is that one finds in
that mountain section lever pet.
ty thieves and fewer women Of
unquestionable virtue than are
to lie found in almost any other
section of the country.
The men are reared in the at
mosphere cfindependpnce. If They
s-e little of each other. Every
man is a law unto himself. Alone
on the mountain side he works
his little crop and hauls it down
the mountain on his sled TO his
cabin home. Once a week he goes
ont to he little country store
and once a month he comes down !
