Health Exhibits For Fairs,

Final arrangements have just been
made whereby the entire public
health exhibit of the state board of
health will make the rounds of the
various fairs in the Central Carolina
Fair Circuit. The exhibit will be in
charge of a competent demonstration
who will be assisted at the various
towns by local health officers, nurses,
physicians and representatives of wo-
mans clubs.
The exhibit will start with the Dur
ham fair the week of September 21,
then to Salisbury the week of Septem-
Der %, to Winston Salem the week of
October 5, to Greensboro the week
of October II, to the State Fair at
Raleigh the week of October IS and
finish the circuit at Charlotte October
26.
1t is possible that the exhibit will
then go to two or three fairs in the
eastern part of the state after the
Charlotte fair. By this means thou
sands of people will be reached and
benefited by public health ideas who
could not otherwise be- reached.

One Applicant to Practice Law.

While the new rule of the Supreme
Court does not require the registrs; ton
of applicants for licenses to practice
law until Friday before the court cor.
venes on the last Monday in August,
there has already been filed one name
for registration with Clerk J. L. Sea-
we'll of the supreme court. Fereto-
fore registrations have been allowed
right up to the very hour of the open
ing Of the court. The new rule gives
two days to scrutinize the registered
applicants after they have fully COM
piled with the rule, including the pay
ment Of the $3.50 registration fee.
The indications are that there will be
the usual 80 to 100 applicants for the
licenses to undertake the examina-
tons, with the great bulk of them
coming from the University, Wake
Forest and Trinity law schools.

ARE YOU DISFIGURED
BY SKIN ERUPTION?

Pimples, rashes, ringworm, prickly-
heat and, worst Of all, that red itch
ing, scaly torment, eczema, vanish
when you USE resinol ointment and
resinol soap. There is no doubt about
it. Even though your skin is so
unsightly with eruption that you shun
your friends and your friends shun
you, resinol usually makes it clear
and healthy, quickly, easily and at
trif1ing cost. When you are sick of
wasting time and money on tedious,
expensive treatments, get resinol oint-
ment and resinol soap from the near
est druggist and you will quickly see
why physicians have prescribed them
for twenty years for just such troubles
as yours! Great for sunburn.-Adv.

Halifax Breaks Every Record.

Halifax Breaks Every Record.
The new ant1typhoid campaign has
started off in record breaking fash
ion. In Halifax county the two dispe1-
sary physicians, Drs. G. P. Parker and
w. H. Sloan gave the initial treat
ment to 2,146 people at Weldon the
first day the dispensary was open.
This sets high-water mark for num-
Der of persons treated in any county
in single day. TIE best record
made during the previous six weeks
campaign was made in Cumberland
county by Drs. B. D. Moore and P. G..
Carter at Fayetteville, when 1868
people were treated in day.
To say these results are exceeding
the fondest expectations of the health
authorities is putting it mildly. The
second set of counties to undertake
the anti-typhoid campaigns are Hall
fax, Wilson, Edgecombe, Iredell and
Wayne. While good results were ex-
pected from these counties it was
scarcely expected that they could
break the records established in
Northampton, Wake or Cumberland.
The only other new counties heard
from were Wilson and Wayne where
27S and 224, respectively, took the
initial treatment the first day. While
this does not begin to compare with
Halifax it is in striking contrast to
the first days work in Buncombe and
Cumberland during the first CAM
paign where only 70 and 90 respect
lively, took the treatment the opening
day of the campaign.

MAPS OUT PLANS FOR DEFIN.
TIE WORK IN THIS LINE.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Ooings and happenings That Mark

pie Gathered Around the State

Raleigh.

TO develop more interest in swine
breeding in the state and establish
better marketing facilities is the OBJ
Ject of the North Carolina Swine
Breeders Association of which Mr..
Edgar B. Moore of Charlotte is presi-
dent and Mr.. Dan T. Gray is secretary
and treasurer. AS a platform the
association has just to be issued a
statement of three definite projects to
be undertaken this year.
The statement reads:
'The majority of the members feel
that the swine business would develop
very rapidly if satisfactory market
conditions were developed. On this
account it was decided to pick out
two or three counties in the state
where marketing conditions are not
now satisfactory, and induce three or
four or five or any number Of farmers
to form an organization and agree to
fatten their hogs and get them ready
for shipping at the same time in car
load lots. The county demonstration
agents will help in carrying this pro-
ject through. The secretary is au-
thorized to locate the counties for
this work as soon as possible and it
is hoped that this demonstration can
be made in two or three counties this
fall and winter. The majority of the
officers of the association feel that if
two or three demonstrations of this
kind were made in various parts of
the state that the farmers would take
to this system of marketing readily.
"The officers decided to hold a sale
Of pure bred hogs at the meeting of
the Live Stock Association at Sails
bury, January 1921 1916. AS many
breeds as possible are to be entered
in this sale, but the number of animals
offered is to be kept down to a rea-
sonable point The officers present
seem to think that not over 25 ami
mails should be offered for sale.
'The officers also authorized the
PRESIDENT Mr. Edgar B. Moore, to &C
company Mr.. T. E. Browne and Mr..
Dan T. Gray to visit the presidents
of the railroads of the state and try
to gain concessions from them rela-
tive to shipping the pigs Of the boys
who belong to the Pig Clubs of the
state to the various fairs in the state.
So far, the railroads have refused to
grant concessions of any kind other
than those usually granted to exhibit
ors. This is a great handicap for the
Pig Club work of the state as the
boys who are in the Corn Clubs and
the boys and girls who are in the
Poultry Clubs have their products car
ried free by the express company"

Autos Worth Five Million Dollars.


The number of automobiles licensed
in this state for the fiscal year that
began July 1. the registration being
really for only IS. days, has already
reached 1880 compared with 1896
licenses issued during the whole pre-
vious fiscal year. This includes old
machines relicensed and licenses for
new machines as sold. There are
about 20 licenses per day being issued
now to new machines, showing a spe-
cial activity in the automobile bust
ness at this time.
The revenue to the state for auto
mobile licenses since July 1 has been
more than $1O5,0OO. The estimated
value of automobiles in North Caro-
lima during the last fiscal year was
S4,OOO,OOO and it is believed that the
value of the machines that will be
licensed during the present year will
round out S5,0O0,0OO.
