YOUR CHANCES FOR CCNSIMpTc0V mn

They depend upon your age, oc-
cupatlon, and mode of living.
Your chances for consumDtion
are good. Indeed they are entirely
too good. Here are some interest
ing facts about your chances.
Last year over 13 1-2 per cent of
all deaths in North Carolina. or one.
out of every seven, were caused bv
consumption. You run more
chances of dying from consumption
than from any other disease. Pneu-
monia comes second, followed by
dlarrheal and heart disease.
Children and old people have the
least to fear from consumption, bue
about one death out of every four
occurring between the. ages of twen-
ty and forty is due to consumption.
Consumption exists and can be-
cured all the way from the equator
to the pole. Your chances for con-
sumption depend far more upos
what you do than upon where you
live. Those who work and live i'm
foul, dusty, dirty places, such as
cigar makers, tobacco workers. sa-
loon keepers, or stone cutters, RUIZ
five times as many chances of dy-
Ing from consumption as farmers
or lumbermen.
But don't lose hope. You can
easily make your own chances
against consumption infinitely bet
ter than those of the farmer or out
door worker. Their chief advant-
age is in the fresh air they get.
when they are at work. But they
don't work all the time, and so thew
don't get an abundance of fresh air
all the time. Very few of them
get enough fresh air in their bed
rooms if they can keep it out. The
same thing is true of their living
rooms.
II you want to have as GOOD
:nances against consumption as the
armer, get fresh air ten or twelve.

TRAIN KILLS man.

\HS1Ok00 scout.
Train No. 10. on the Southern
Railway, in charge of Conductor
johnson and Engineer Redfern. due
here at 9:55 p. m, ran over Joe
Gibson. a well known white man,
last Monday night about a mile
from town, completely severing the
head and otherwise mangline the
body.
The train was rounding the curve
near the 121 mile post, when the
engineer saw what he thought was
a pile of cinders; a little closer he
saw a mans foot and applied the
emergency brakes, but could not
stop until his engine had passed
over the body. He got down and
looked under the train; found head
on one side of rail and BODY on
other side; very little blood, which
was clotted; body not as warm as
1t should have been if man was
alive when struck by train.
So far it is not known how Glib
son met his death: whether he was
murdered and the body placed on
the railroad track or whether he
was drunk and lay down on the
track and fell asleep. Witnesses
testified that desceased drank some
cider, cherry dope and some bitters;
but did not seem drunk, though he
staggered little; was last seen
alive about an hour before train
time near place where body was
found. Witnesses testified to hear
ing parties passing homes before
train time quarreling and cursine
but did not recognize voices; also
that pistol shots were heard in that
neighborhood. Deceased tod
several that he had an enemy, but
called no names. Nothing of value
was found on the body. The most
accepted theory is that the deceas-
ed was drunk, lay down on the
track and went to sleep. This theo-
~ is supported by the fact that he
was drunk enough to stagger an
hour Or more before train time. and
no one knows what or how much
he drank during the intervening
time. We learn that the doctors
found no bullet wounds on the body.
Late Wednesday afternoon the
coroner's jury returned verdict to /
the effect that Joe Gibson came to
his death by being struck by the
train. This was done after the jury
had exhausted all the means with
n their power to clear up the
matter.

GOV. HOOPER'S ADDRESS.
The veterans were welcomed on
behalf of tennessee by Governor
Ben w. Hooper, who, while trusting
that the wisdom OF diplomacy
and the justice of arbitration NAV
restrain the passions of war until
the prince OF peace shall have
gained supreme possession of the
hearts OF men, wished that If this
hope cannot be yet reallzed' the re-
public might have as her defenders
such men as her confederales were
fifty years ago.
I'VE of this generation,' he. said
which has come OH since the war
of these sixties, should not forget
tha~ the soluerS On both sides of
that contest drank to the bitter
dregs cup which had been pre-
pared for them before they were
born and which otherwise might
have been passed on to us. The
war between the states was an in
herited war. The seeds of newt
able conflict had been sown in our
federal constitution at it's very in
ception, and the aged men we see
here today were fated to live at a |
time when these seed should spring
up and bring forth their awful
fruitage of civil war"
Confederate chieftains were paid
a tribute by Governor Hooper.
Il deem it the proud privilege of
a lifetime" he told the veterans
and visitors, to welcome to Tenne-
ssee soil the venerable survivors of

WOMEN IN
EVERY COUNTY Of
STATE AID COLBY
Declare That Progressive Can
didate's Platform Is of Great
est Benefit to Them.

If former State Senator Everett
Colby is not elected Governor at the
approaching election, it will not be
the fault of the Progressive women
in the State. A committee of 1000
women has been appointed In every
county throughout the State who will
work in their own neighborhoods for
the Progressive candidate.
But they are all Progressive SYM
pathizers. Now a non-partisan COM
mittee one formed of Democratic.
Republican and Progressive women
has been formed to solicit funds for
Colby and to generally advance the
: issues Of his platform. This commit
tee has issued delicate appeal to
every man and woman in the State,
as follows:
I'VE feel that we have the right to
ask your support for our candidate
because he, prominently amongst
the Gubernatorial nominees, stands
for the issues which, regardless OF
party affiliation, we women are con-
WINGED would RESULT in the greatest
benefit to the whole people of the
State. Some of the measures he
1.-THE living wage in all industrial
occupations; the minimum wage for
working women; the reduction in the
cost of living through a more just
system of taxation and the control of
public utility corporations; prohibi-
ton of child labor: extending and
strengthening the powers of the State
Board of Health; a uniform and eff
fectiVe pure food standard, and
woman's suffrage.
MANY are not aware of the large
legitimate expenses necessary to a
successful political campaign, such as
advertising, transportation, the cost
OF meetings, etc. For these and other
: expenses we must have funds, and
we wish it understood that we beg for
any and every contribution, no matter
how small as we feel that our can
didate represents the cause which
should be supported by the people at
large-the great cause of social and
industrial justice.
Checks may be drawn to the order
of Mrs. Arthur Perry, Short Hills,
