Over North Carolina.


The Supreme Court delivered opin-
ions recently in % appeals, one of the
most notable being that of City of
Gastonia VS.. Bank of Gastonia in
which 100000 bond issue under I'M
usual conditions is sustained. There
was a special act authorizing bonds
for streets, schools, waterworks, sew
erage and lights, no election being
provided. The commissioners issued
$50, 900 bonds for the purposes, ex-
cept schools, issuing none for the
schools. The bank, as purchaser of
the bonds, questioned their validity.
The court declares that while this
court has settled as fact that
expenses of a corporation, the school
system being founded with statewide
laws governing them, there is no rea
son why the bond issues actually
made by the Gastonia government
should not stand.

Army's Fight on Typhoid.

The efficacy of the treatment of ty-
phOid by vaccination is estimated by
the remarkab BILE statistics for the
United States army during last year,
when only two cases of typhoid fever
among the enlisted force of $4,000
were recorded. Of the two cases one
was that of a man who had not been
treated with the vaccine; the other
was among the troops in China. This
man had been inlmunized in 1911, but
the history of the case is in doubt.
Before the vaccine treatment was
adopted the typhoid average was to
1900: in 1910, before inocluation was
practised, the rate was 2.32 to 1000;
in 1911 it dropped to 0.S0, and in 1912
to e26.-Engineering Record.
