Sons of Veterans Meet.

Harrisburg Camp Sons of Vet
erans met Monday June 3rd, at
the court house in annual meet
ing. The report Of the adjutant
was read and approved.
This being the date for the
election of officers all the old
officers were elected for the en-
suing year: w. P. Long, COM
mandant; ]. L. Austin, first lieu
tenant; W. D. Rasberry, second
lieutenant; S. S. Harris, adju-
tant; J. M. Dixon, quarter
master; Rev. w. L. Duren, chap
lain, DR.. Louis Kohlheim, sur
geon; J. M. Thomas, historian;
John M. Boggan, color sergeant;
S. S. Harris, treasurer.
Plans were discussed for in
creasing the membership of the
camp and it was voted to begin
a campaign for new members.
In connection with this work
they decided to hold a meeting
July 18th at the court house in
celebration of the battle of Har-
risburg and a committee of ar
rangement composed of j. M.
Thomas, Jas. A. Finley and j.
M. Dixon, to perfect plans and
report to the camp on June the
18th, when a meeting of the
c amp is called at the court house.
The membership of the camp
is small and it is the earnest de-
sire of the officers that every one
eligible in the county should be-
come a member. There are a
large number of young men
whose fathers were valiant sol
diers who have neglected to join
this patriotic organization and
aid in perpetuating a history of
the deeds of heroism that should
be recorded, and to keep alive
the spirit of patriotism handed
down to us by t h SOL
diers of the Confederacy. A
blank application can be secured
by calling on Story Harris, adju-
tant. at the Peoples Bank and
Trust Co.

Dangers Of Splitting.

'Ninety-ive per cent of our
consumption" says the North
Carolina State Board of Health,
comes from careless splitting,
coughing and sneezing, particu-
larly on the part of the consump-
tive, but also from people who
are apparently healthy. Spit is
frequently laden with deadly dis
ease germs, particularly that of
consumptives.
when one coughs, spits or
sneezes. a great multitude of
tiny drors Of spittle are violently
expelled from the mouth and
nose. The largest of these drops
can be readily seen. A large
number of smaller droplets can
be found if mirror or piece of
glass is held before the face
when coughing or sneezing. A
tremendous quantity of still
smaller droplets are discharged
in the form of an invisible spray
0 mist, which floats about in the
air for some time. Scientists
have found that when a man
coughs, spits or sneezes in large
hall or room where the air is
quiet, these tiny, invisible germ
laden droplets will float in the
air<for a, distance Of 25 to 100
feet. These tiny droplets. in the
form of mist or spray, may be
breathed in by other people, or
they may settle on objects with
which they come into intimate
contact; such as food and cloth
ing. Viewed in this light, such
conduct is at least impolite.
Furthermore, it is dangerous to
the public at large to have care
less people actually coughing.
sneezing and splitting germ laden
matter into their faces even if it
is invisible and in the form of
fine mist. .
