candidates, the League advised these
not to enter the field. They came in,
however, knowing they would not ex-
pect the support of the League. That
we might not be defeated as we were
two years ago in this district, our

DOING THINGS
Nash County Health Officer Shows
What One Man Can Do In
Health Work

Vaccinating over 5000 people
in one county against typhoid in
about three months is fine
record. That is just what DR..
B. E. Washburn, whole time
county health officer in Nash
County, reports. During the
month of August he immunized
1851 people, The people of
Nash County as well as their
health officer seem to realize
more than ever the real value Of
health officer in saving lives
and preventing sickness. The
results of only a few months of
this kind of work are beginning
to show in the decrease in the
typhoid fever rate in Nash County
On August 81, at the height OF
the typhoid fever season, there
were only sixteen cases in the
entire county. This is said to be
much less than usual.
Besides the special work
against typhoid, he Nash County
Health Officer during the last
month vaccinateo seventy-eight
people against smallpox, examin-
ed and treated twelve for hook
worm disease, examined four
specimens of sputum for tuber-
culosis, gave eleven lectures on
health subjects, besides doing
the usual work formerly done by
the county physician, namely,
visiting the jail and county home
and making commitment eXami-
nations for the State Hospital.
The story of the progress of
health work is best told in the
closing paragraph of the August
reports of the Health Officer,
where he says: Citizens in all
parts of Nash County are be-
coming interested in public
health work, as is shown by
the large attendance at the dis
pensaries. The health officer is
constantly called upon to give
advice on problems relating to
the betterment of sanitary con-
ditions about the homes and
places of work, and the demand
for literature on health topics is
also increasing. These things
show that Nash County has de-
veloped to the point where
the citizens realize the value of
health and are ready to cooper
ate in any endeavor to prevent
sickness. "

The Presbyterian Aid Society
had a most delightful meeting at
the horne of Mrs. G. l.. Hayes

The presence of our new min

painful accident, piercing his

COMBINED SHOWS ARE COMING
The Wheeler Bros. Circus &
Famous Stampede Wild
West Show

All the contracts necessary fol
the innumerable details of the
exhibition of a large circus insti-
tuition have been made for the
early appearance in this city OF
the Wheeler Bros. Circus & The
Famous Stampede Wild West.
This is one of the worlds largest
amusement enterprises, and be-
cause of its peculiar combination
it is probably the most interest
ing.
1t is advertised by the manage
ment that it is without a peer in
point of performance, and it
would seem as if this boast is
justified in a combination which
includes two such shows. The
Wheeler Bros. has for years been
conceded a place in the front
rank of circuses, and in many
points it has been given first
place. 1t could not be excelled
for its horses, the quality and
completeness of its equipment or
the attention given to the numer-
Gus details which are essential
for the production of a perform
ance OF unusual merit. Although
The Wheeler Bros. have always
refrained from featuring some
five-second act as a thriller, used
purely for advertising purposes,
their patrons have always found
many surprises in store and now
they have come forward with the
boss thriller of them all a Mexi-
can Bull Fight, thrilling repro
duction by the Mendaza troupe
of genuine Mexican bull fighters.
When the combination of the
Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West was ac-
complished, the amusement
world was not surprised. as the
combination had been predicted.
The deal was a fortunate one for
amusement patrons, inasmuch as
they are now able to see the two
shows for the prices formerly
charged for one. To enable the
performances of the two eXhibi-
tions to be given simultaneously
and without cutting out a single
act of either, has been a great
herculean task, but it has been
accomplished, and the result will
be seen when the Wheeler Bros.
Circus & Famous Stampede Wild
West Shows appear in Roanoke
Rapids on October 9th. -Advt.

Railroads Innocent By-Standers

A committee of railroad presi-
dents, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, has presented to
President Wilson a brief of the
difficulties confronting the rail
roads brought on by the Europ-
can war. The President, in turn,
has transmitted the memoranda
to the American people, direct
ing attention to the extraordi-
nary emergency now confront
ing the railroads.
The railroads are innocent by
ISLANDERS in this war and they
have been more severely wound
ed than any other industry, for
railroad property, although priv
ately owned, is devoted to public
services, and while the govern
ment makes the rates and requir-
es expenditures, it does not
guarantee receipts,
The farmers suffer for lack of
a market and business stagnates
by the closing of foreign ports,
but the warehouse and the bank
vault will preserve their property
from destruction while the rail
roads, like Tennyson's Brook,
must run on and on and cannot
resort to any such expediency to
protect their interests.

: RAPIDS, N. e., SEPlE
ton they could.
DR.. Alexander spoke vigorous
ly in favor of the taxation
amendment which will be voted
on, together with other amend
ments, at the November elec-
tons. He stated that this was
the amendment which the big
money interests in the State were
fighting and that the passage of
the amendment would benefit
greatly the farmers and poor
people in the State. The pres
ent assessment all over the
State was grotesquely and mani
festly unfair different classes
of property should be listed for
taxation at different rates. The
only fair and equitable basis for
taxation being equality of sac
rifice. "
At the close of DR.. Alexan-
der's talk, the mass meeting ad-
journed for dinner, convening
again at two o'clock, at which
time the Committee on Resolu-
tions introduced the following
resolutions:
o. Recommending the hold
ing of cotton for better prices by
farmers all over the county as
far as they can do so without in
jury to their creditors.
(2) Recommending the cur
failing of acreage planted to cot
ton next year one third.
g. Advising the co-opera-
ton and united efforts of farm
ers, merchants, bankers and
manufacturers to tide over this
period of distress,
a. Endorsing heartily the
Buy a Bale movement also
the Use Cotton Goods" move
ment.
Special stress was laid by DR..
Alexander, Mr.. Shields and 9TH
ers on the duty of the farmers
to stand by and protect the time
merchants who had advanced
money on this cotton crop and
many of whom had obligations
which they were compelled to
meet. Farmers were urged to
carry their cotton to their mer-
chants, merchants were urged to
make arrangements to warehouse
all the cotton they could: the key
note of the meeting was the i'm
portance of cooperation between
farmers, merchants, bankers and
manufacturers. Farmers were
urged not to hold their cotton at
home when they were in debt to
the merchants, as this was unfair
to the merchants, giving them no
hold on the cotton at all and
therefore no opportunity to use
same as collateral with their cred
itors.
All of the above resolutions
were freely discussed and were
unanimously adoped by the mass
meeting.
1t is certain that the citizens
of Halifax County as a whole are
aroused to the seriousness of the
cotton situation and the necessity
for concerted and united action
as never before. 1t cannot be
but that material benefit will be
derived from the mass meeting
of yesterday.
