POST
OYSTERS AND THE WAR.
Charlotte Observer.)

The oyster season opened yesterday,
September being the first month OF
the Fall and contains the essential "r"
which is the test of the open oyster
season.
While no official statement has yet
been received, it is stated that the
prices this season will probably be
very reasonable, lower possibly than
heretofore and furthermore the quality
will be very. high.
One of the beneficent results of the
war, in so far as the consumer is con-
cerned, will be that the prices Will
hardly be advanced, say the experts,
but on the contrary may be reduced
by reason of the cutting off of the de-
nand in Europe. In years past, large
supplies were shipped abroad and in
addition the steamship lines required
large quantities The European de-
mand has been reduced to a minimum
and likewise the orders from the big
steamship lines. In addition to this
the crop expected promises to be very
large and of quality that has never
before been excelled, so the experts
state.

THREE GENERATIONS IN PULPIT.

Gastonia, Sept. AT Union Presby-
terian Church, seven miles south o.
Gastonia, there gathered Sunday three
generations of preachers-grandfathz
er, father and son, known as the
Ratchford Trio. A meeting is being
conducted at his church and all three
generations preached Sunday. Taking
charge of the services in the order OF
seniority, the grandfather, Rev. W. W
Ratchford, of Waxhaw, this State,
preached at IL a. M; Rev. q. b.
Ratchford of Virginia, his son, preach
ed at 8 in. the afternoon and Rev Viii
liam Ratchford, grandson of the first
named and son of the latter, conduct
ed the services at the evening hour
The grandfather is "a years old, the
father AZ and the son %. AS old a
man as Rev. G. A. Sparrow, the pastor
at Union, who by the way does not ap-
pear to be nearly so far advanced II
years as he actually is, said that ne
had never known nor heard Of a sim
lar situation, where three generations
CT the same family preached at the
rIace on the same day.
There was present at each service
a large number of people to hear the
Ratchford Trio preach.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS.

Mount Airy.-Mount Airy township
has made rapid progress in road con-
struction this year and the fall will
see all of her main highways convert
eG into first-class standard roads
smyth and insolvency, who contracted
for 25 miles of road to be completed
this summer, have finished about IL
miles and, if they have open Weatner,
will easily complete their contract be-
fore Christmas. They have turned
over the White Sulphur Springs road
to the Highway Commission Tor tie
sGnd-clay and are now working the
Low Gap road to the township line.
After the completion of this road the
force will go to the Old Hollow Whlcn
leads toward Pilot Mountain.
In the past three years the town
ship has built<and sand-clayed nearly
80 miles of highway, all of which Is
equal to any in the South, every foot
Of it being of standard width, first
class grade and has stood the test OF
hard winter. From special tax and
bonds 100000 has been raised for
road improvement and it is calculated
that, this will put every road In the
township in frst-class condition.

OPPOSED TO JUDGES ROTATION

Durham.-In his charge to the
grand jury this morning Judge George
Rountree suggested that if he were on
the grand jury one of the recommen-
dations he would make to the court
would be the passage of law keep
ing judges in the same district all or
the time. He was not in favor OF the
present system of the rotation OF
judges.
The Judge said that there were
great many reasons for this system be-
ing a bad one, but the most important
was to be seen in the criminal aspects
OF the law. A judge who held only
two or three terms of court in any one
county or district, Judge Rountree
thought, could not do justice either 10
the State or to the criminal element
il the district. 1t was Impossible lot
a Judge to find out about the cr1mlnal
records of the people in the county
He could not keep in touch with con
ditions in the county as judicial ON
Ger could who was in the county all OF
the time. In many instances 1t was
impossible for a judge to find out al
Of the circumstances connected vain
criminal. In some cases the crlmlna
cot more than he should have, and IL
other instances the State was impose
or. because the defendant did not &c
all that was coming to him.

TO EXAMINE ALL CHILDREN.

Wilmington.-The first lap of the
very elaborate plan of the United
States Government through DIR. Chas.
w. Stiles, professor in temporary
charge of the marine hospital here
for the physical examination Of every
school child in New Hanover county,
has been completed. The examination
Of the white children was completed
yesterday, more than 5000 having been
inspected since the work began one
year ago. From three to five hours has
been given each child by medical ex-
perts in the employ of the Government.
working under the direction OF OF Or
Stiles. At times Doctor Stiles had as
high as Is or 20 assistants.
The service has been given abso-
Iuely free by the Government, and Is
in furtherance of Doctor Stiles, re-
search work in the Standardization OF
the child. Wilmington people have
given Doctor Stiles and his co-laborers
their heartiest cooperation in this
work, realizing as they did that it was
for their ultimate benefit. Defects in

the children have been pointed out as
a result of the examination and In
nearly every case they have been REM
edied.
Doctor Stiles expects to begin next
year the examination OF, all the color
er school children of the county. This
will require several months. Shortly
thereafter the second examination Of
the white school children Will be
made. The entire work as outlined
will require five years. The second
examination will be for the purpose of
determining what progress has been
made in the time intervening between
the two examinations.
This is the only community where
the work of this character has been
undertaken by the United State Gov
eminent. Other counties in different
States may later be included. Doctor
Stiles says that the complete reports
of the children who have taken the ex-
animation represent more detailed
study of the child than has even been
| conducted in the school inspections of
any other city in the world.

N. c. EDUCATION IN PRACTICE.
columbia State.)

North Carolina has just completed
it's first year in the experiment OF
general, that is to say, compulsory ed
ucation. Reports show that for every
one hundred children of school age IL
the State, at least IL who were absent
before have been taken to school and
kept there, an aggregate OF 4O,OVy
new pupils being registered. In one
county, which the state stat1stlc1aE
calls typical, there was an increase IN
average daily attendance of ia per
cent; in another of almost 80 per
cent. Opposition to the law was ex-
pected, but it's enforcement was pa
tient and tactful," and it has been
heartily supported in nearly all COM
munities. It's results are the more
notable in that the act affects only
children of from eight to II years.
Just as we are concluding In tnls
state a campaign which CANS Ior
every exertion of intelligent patriotism
against the menace of demagoguery
the perpetuation of laWlessness, the
qualification of class against class

counties to the effect that. the books

A good woman living in the western
part of the State suffered and died
with tuberculosis. She was not Wo-
man of large means. But she had
heart and soul as well as tuberculosis.
She sympathized with those afnlcted
with it. 1t naturally followed that she
wanted to help them. After provldmg
for her relatives and those who had
been kind and helpful to her, she left
the residue of her estate to the State
tuberculosis Sanatorium.
There is a strong and growing feel
ing Of this kind throughout the State
of North Carolina Some people are
going to do even better than this good
woman. They are going to do some
thing for the sanatorium while they
live. Through the Red Cross Seal
sales last Christmas the people in the
State in this small way penny at
time contributed $4,000, which was
used in the fight against tuberculosis
in North Carolina; and so it goes.
The State at this time cannot ham
die the tuberculosis problem. vi
course it could if it would, but it viii
not But the State can do this, and
It will. It can provide so that the
money, time and energy that is anxious
to be spent in the fight against tuber-

BABIES BORN IN SLEEP.
The {. "Twilight Sleep" Successfully
Employed by New York Physicians
New York Wor1d.)

The Twilight Sleep" was used SO
successfully yesterday in the case of
Mrs. Mary Rothfend of No. 270 East
Broadway that her son was born while
she was mapping and the first she
knew of it was when the doctor who
is administering this method of treat
ment in the Jewish Maternity hospital,
No. 27O East Broadway, came to her
and told her.
It was Mrs Rothfend's first child.
She was amazed and asked to see her
baby 1t was shown her and because.
the baby was boy her delight in
creased.
Mrs. Rothfendts baby was the one
hundred and fifteen Twilight Baby"
brought into the world by the scien-.
tifc method in the Jewish hospital.
The scientist who is using This treat
ment will not have his name used, ex-
planning:
+ 'To do so would not be ethical. "
Then he added:
"The twilight sleep treatment is
proving the greatest sort of success.

in fact the people of the word to
know about it. We have nothing TO

CHIESA is ELECTED POPE
TO SUCCEED LATE Plus \

Rome, Sept. 3.-Cardinal Della Chic
sa has been elected Pope in success
sion to the late Plus K.
The new Pope will assume the name
of Benedicte XIV.
Cardinal Giacono Della Chiesa, was
created cardinal May 25, 1914. He
is the archbishop of Bologna, Italy.
He was born at Pegli in the diocese
Of Genes, November Fl, 1854 and was
ordained a priest December Fl, 1878,
He served as secretary of the Noncia-
ture in Spain from 1883 to 1887, in
which year he was appointed secre-
tary to the late Cardinal Rampolla.
He was appointed substitute secre-
tary of state in 1901 and in 1907 was
elected to the post of advisor to the
holy Office.
In the same year he was appointed
papal nuncio of Madrid in succession
to Monsignor Rinaldini but this ap-
pointment was cancelled three days
later. This incident occurred just be-
fore he was made archbishop OF
Bologna.
When Monsignor Della Chiesa was
given this position it was reported in
Rome it was mainly with the object
CT combating modern religious ideas
Bologna being the headquarters OF
the National Democratic league whose
members believed in modern" in re
| 1igion. At
In January 1914, while still at Bo-
Iogna the present pope issued pas
toral letter strongly condemning the
tango. 1t has been liza years since the
time of the last Pope Benedicte. Ii
his election the papacy-in 174O Car
dinal Prospero Lambertini assumed
that title. 1t is an interesting fac
that the new pope was archbishop o.
Bologna while Pope Benedicte XIV
was horn in Bologna.
