Public Health Service Undertakes Mis-
sionary Work in This Regard.


The following extract from an ad-
dress delivered before the South Caro-
lima Medical association at Florence,
S. c., by DR.. Charles w. Stiles, Of the
United States public health service, is
published at the request Of Yorkville
physician, in the belief that it will do
good along the lines intended:
This race problem is becoming more
and more complex. With the increas-
ed difficulty in the servant problem,
there is an increased change in our
food. We are becoming more and more
a nation of canned food eaters. 1t is
easier to keep house with canned food
than it is with fresh food, and our can
ned food proposition Is increasing stu
pendously and, curiously enough, with
this increase in the consumption Of
canned foods, we have an increase in
our mosquitoes. because our cans are
thrown out Of the windows into the
yards to gather water for the mosqui-
toes.
was III d lOWH d SllOll tlliic iSo,
looking into the mosquito problem and
l organized the school children Of the
town. In two weeks they collected &c.
900 tin cans from back yards, etc. We
ia :kled the mosquito problem. But
that is not the only medical aspect of
this servant problem: Our white wo-
men today are glad to get almost any
kind of servant they can get hold Of. 1t
is so difficult to get servants, the white
women will put up with almost any
thing in this line. They are driven to
it-and why? l am going to surprise
you with my conclusion on that point
think there is no man in the room, no
man in the south who is prouder Of
the American women than l am.
think there is nothing like them in the
heaven above or the earth beneath or
in the waters under the earth; you can
fall down and worship them without
breaking any commandment, but, gen.
tlemen, they are the poorest house
keepers of the civilized nations of the
world

Cherryville also suffered severely
from the storm. The roofs Of the How
ell and Melville mills, Of a paper and
tar preparation, were demolished and
today new roofs are being put on while
the mills are standing idle. Kendrick
Brothers lumber plant was unroofed
and otherwise damaged. T. E. Sum-
mers' store building was badly damag-
ed and his stock Of goods almost ruin
ed by water. The hail was terrific. A
phone message from Cherryville, at l
o'clock today brought the information
that an immense amount Of hail Is
still piled up on the ground in Cherry
vile. The storm swept a section four
miles wide in that part of the county
and carried devastation with it. The
crops in the wake Of the storm are
completely ruined.

are the physical characteristics of VIC
toriano Huerta.
Huerta Is a man Of much greater
native ability than his enemies would
admit, and he has grown during the
year just passed, writes Louis C. Sim
ones in the June Atlantic. He is not
as great a man as his friends paint
him, but he is a very much greater
man than he is painted by the forces
opposed to him in Mexico.
Intellectually, Huerta has one in
estimable quality-a very direct mind.
He readily distinguishes essentials
from nonessentials, and, brushing the
latter aside, he can get to the point
at once, If he so desires. On the otiI-
er hand, he has the sagacity, or the
astuteness, or the slyness, of an In
dian-call it what you willard
when it suits his purpose, can main
tain an impenetrable reserve.
In the details of business and in
the conduct Of the administration, he
is unmethodical, and in less import
ant matters given to laisser aller.
Though he works hard when he takes
up task he is irregular in the dis
tribution Of his time. There are oc-
casions when those nearest to him,
do not know where he is or how to
reach him. This is what has given
rise, from time to time, to reports Of
his disappearance from the capital.
reports telegraphed to the United
States, but for which there never has
been the slightest foundation.

Income Tax Payers.-It transpires
that New York city alone pays $11,-
$4,000 of the total of $2S 100000 col
lected on individual income taxes. 1t
also contributes nearly sS,000,000 Of
$4,000, 900 raised by the corporation
tax. OF the total individual tax for
the country, New York city paid about
one third and New York state as
whole amounts to half. These figures
compare with individual tax payments
of s2,OOO,OOO by Philadelphia, $1,000, 900
by Chicago and $1,500,000 by Boston.
New York refuses to believe that it has
been assessed on an equal basis with
the country at large, the World as
serting that lin most parts Of the
United States this levy has been prac-
tically ignored" Such is not our OBJ
servation or belief Figures which are
official but subject to final revision,
show 1907 900 corporation and $46,50O
individual taxes paid by North Carroll
ma. The corresponding figures for
South Carolina are 100000 and $25,-
