State Board Of Health. Raleigh.
Sept. 19.-Here are some OF the al
vantases that will accrue to the bene-
fit Of the citizens OF North Carolina
from the vital statistics law that Is 10
become operative all over the State
on the first of next month. Perhaps
it would be more accurate to attach
a condition to the above statement,
and that is, "if the citizens do their
part in reporting births and deaths
to the officers" Well, with h con-
dition aforesaid, here are some OF the
things of value to be gotten out OF it:
part in reporting births and deaths
rates are high, or where health Work
is needed.
They will show which diseases have
excessive death rates.
They will show the effect Of health
work, by supplying data for compari-
sons Of two or more years.
They will serve as q basis in deter
mining the value OF a health officer
in his ability to reduce death rates
from p~reventable diseases.
They will %engender rivalry among
adjoining towns and counties in keep
ing the lowest death rate, or the high
est record for health.
A State car no more carry on in
telligent health work without these
statistics and records than a business

and it's accountants. If the accounts
are not properly kept, or items are
left out, there will be errors in the
business: likewise, if the figures that
record the vital facts in the lives Of
the men, women and children of the
State are not put down accurately,
there viii be mistakes in one Of the
most vital departments of the COM
monwealth's service to its sovereign
people.
That's where the sovereign people
come in. II the sovereign errs, its
servant will err. The servant is no
better than his sovereign master. Let
the master do his part. Let the peo-
pie Of the State take pride in giving
the registrars all the facts required.
Let them be given just as aecurately
as the figures would be set down in
the ledger Of a business house. Then
will all the good results enumerated
above be the lot of the people to the
health work. upon which so much OF
fullest extent. Then will the States
che happiness, efficiency and wealth
! OF the people Of North Carolina de-
ponds, be itself at the topnotch Of its
capacity for good. Otherwise, more
than $4,000 Of the States good
money will be worse than wasted, for
inaccurate vital statistics are worse
! than none at all.
: 1t is distinctly up to the sovereign
2 to do we'll its part.

DIPHTHERIA IN DAVIDSON.
And 1t Is Said That There Is NJ

ana Ii LIS Said That There Is No
Health Officer to Look After II.
The press service OF the North
Carolina State Board OF Health has
issued the following:
In Davidson county. according to
a recent report from that county,
there are at least a dozen cases OF
diphtheria, none Of which have been
reported by the doctors having them
in charge.
"Why, probably, did those doctors
fail to report those cases of such .
dangerous, highly infectious disease?
Perhaps 1t was because Of the lack
OF a county health officer in David

for the occurrence of contagious or in
fectious maladies and cooperate with
the attending physicians in securing
insulation Of the sufferers and inn
munizing treatment for those exposed
to infection.

TRY HOLUM CASE
Attorneys Stipulate That w. ],

in Murder Case. p II.

The Milton murder case, in which
Attorney Sinkler, as counsel for the
defendant, Matt Holum, was granted a
charge of venue from the Seventh to
the First Judicial district, it is expected
will be tried in Grand Forks about the
middle of January, or at the very latest
the first week in February. Judge,
kneeshaw expects to preside at
the trial instead of Judge Cooley, the
resident judge of that district. The
motion for the change of venue was not
on the grounds Of prejudice, but upon
that of inability to secure an unpre-
indeed jury. The prosecution will be
handled by States Attorney Crimson
and Attorney General Miller. The case
is not expected to occupy more than a
weeks time and the additional expense
incurred in its being transferred to
Grand Forks for trial will be mainly
confined to the extra mileage of wit.

identified with the trial OF Holum. whose
guilt for the murder of his wife on their
farm near Milton last June, will have
to be proven entirely by circumstantial
evidence.

THE BETTER FARMING MOVEMENT.

Secretary Manager Cooper of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton, and recently elected director of
the experiment station work by the
government in North Dakota, is now
Ia Washington in conference with the
Impairment Of agriculture. He will
assume his new duties Jan. l and from
that time on the experiment work and
the better farming movement will be
under one general director.
The better farming movement was
started by business men who realized
the imperative necessity of a change IN
the farming methods IN this state and
also that the state was unable to start
the plan at the time for lack of funds
Now that the plan is we'll under way it
was deemed advisable to effect the
combination that there might be no
conflict in the efforts of the two move
ments and better results could be
obtained.
Director Cooper stands high with the
officials of the department of agriculture
in Washington and has arranged to
secure more direct cooperation from
that source than ever before because of
the new law which has become effective
for extension work. He will be able to
get additional men from the department
who are experienced and trained along
the special lines necessary in this state.
During the winter the field men of
the better farming association have
been organizing farmers clubs. The
number is now almost 500 and it is
planned to secure a total men bership
in these clubs of 100000 during the
coming year. This will be a great force
for improved farming and lis combined
cooperation will be under the general
direction of Mr.. Cooper and his lieuten-
ants of the college station and the better
farming movement,
