Pound and A Half Stone
Is Removed From
Mans Kidney
W. E. Britt, Operated On By DR..
R. L. Payne, Jr., Recently
Leaves Hospital

Modern surgery continues to
reveal new marveIs daily, but a
recent operation performed at
st. Vincent's Hospital, involving
the removal of a gall stone weigh
ing a pound and a half from the
kidney of w. E. Britt, of Roa-
noke Rapids. N. G.. is some
thing new to Norfolk. The ope-
ration was performed by DR.. r.
l.. Payne, Jr., two weeks ago,
and the patient improved so
rapidly following the removal of
the stone that he was able to
leave for his home in Roanoke
Rapids Saturday night.
Mr.. Britt had been suffering
from kidney trouble for many
years, and the trouble became
so acute some time ago that the
operation became necessary. The
size of the stone was a big sur
prise to both the patient and the
attending physician. So far as is
known, it is the largest stone
ever removed anywhere in this
part of the country Norfolk
Virginian Pilot.

PELLAGRA
INCREASING
Public Health Announces a Cause
and Suggests a Remedy

Pellagra seems to be on the in
crease. This is true not so much
of North Carolina, perhaps, as
elsewhere. A very probable an
swer to the why and wherefore
of the situation is offered by
Joseph Goldberger, Surgeon in
Charge of Pellagra Investigation,
for the United States Public
Health Service.
DR.. Goldberger claims that
Pellagra is not contagious. in
fectious or even communicable,
but is due to faulty diet. The
trouble with the diets of people
who develop Pellagra, according
to Surgeon Goldberger, is that
they do not eat enough lean meat,
beans, peas, milk and eggs but
eat poportionately large amounts
of such things as grits, molases,
flakes, corn meal, or other
starchy foods.
As a general rule, according to
DR.. Goldberger's findings Pei
lagra is particularly a disease
of the poor, or where it does
strike an individual member of a
well-to-do family it is one that
for some reason has not been eat
ing we'll balanced diet. Accor-
dinghy the apparent increase in
pellagra is due to a more restricted
diet owing, perhaps, to the re-
cent slightly depressed financial
conditions among our people.
The daily diet recommended by
DR.. Goldberger for an adult pei
lagrin should include a pint and
a half to two pints of milk. at
least four eggs and a half pound
of fresh, lean meat, together
with a liberal allowance of peas
and beans. These articles of
diet should be varied somewhat
from time to time to suit the taste
of the patient. Very little, if any,
medicines are recommended or
are found necessary. In this
connection DR.. Goldberger cites
some causes of more or less fraud
ulent so-called pellagra cures that
are being heralded as sure cures
for pellagra at good, stiff prices
and what's more their patrons
are getting cured. According to
DR.. Goldberger it matters little
whether a person is given a So
luton of salt and water, sugar
and water or any other cheap

ROANOKE RAPIDS
LEADS RACE
Home Teams's Chances for Land
ing Pennant Never Brighter,
But Nearly all Schedule Games
Must be Played to Decide.
TEAMS PLAYING FAST BASE BALL

The Roanoke Rapids team has
won so many games in succession
the fans would hardly know how
to take defeat. An easy vict-
ory last Friday over Franklin,
with score of nine to two. In
fact, the visitors did not make it
even interesting. Smith and
Bland both decorated the mound
for Franklin, but Roanoke's
heavy hitters pounded them both
impartially. 1t was four clean
ones off Smith in three innings,
and to show there were no hard
feelings five off Bland in five
frames. Holden and Zollicoffer
lead the batting for the locals.
Barnes pitched one of the best
games OF the season for the Rap
ids, allowing only one hit and
tanning six of the thirty two
men who faced him.
Saturdays game was much
closer baseball, closing with the
score standing three to four in
favor of the home boys. Treakle
pitched for Franklin and yroved
to have much more stuff than
either Bland or Smith. He al
lowed only four hits and famed
seven men. Eight hits were
landed off Scott, but were 80
scattered as not to count in the
RIM making. Honig's fielding, the
work of Johnson at short and
Holden at first were the features
of the game, two fast double
plays being executed by them.
Emporia's suden rally resulting
in splitting even with Franklin
in the four games played this
week, has prevented Franklin
from overcoming Roanoke Rapids
lead, Emporia plays here to-day
and tomorrow and judging
from reports as to the way En-
poria has strengthened up,
Roanoke Rapids will have to
play ball to win.

ANNUAL MID
SUMMER HOLIDAY
Excursion to Ocean View Thurs
day Three Days Vacation for
Employees Of Roanoke and
Patterson Mills

Roanoke Rapids has Holiday.
The necessity of shutting down
the Roanoke Mills while repairs
to water wheels are being made,
has been made the occasion for
the annual holiday for the en-
ployees of both the Roanoke and
the Patterson Mills.
The regular midsummer excur-
sion to Ocean View was made on
Thursday by the employees of
the two plants and others, about
three hundred making the trip.
The rest are taking it easy at
home, except those fans who
motored to Emporia Thursday to
see the Franklin Emporia double
header.
Roanoke Rapids r I7ys at home
to-day and tomorrow and with
so many people taking vacation
a record breaking attendance at
the ball park is probable.
The Patterson Mills will resume
operatio Monday morning and
the Roanoke Mills will start also
at that time, provided the re-
pairs to the water wheels are
completed.

Prisoner Is Killed at Farm

Hiram Sykes, white, one of the
four gunmen sent to the States
Prison Dec. 29, 1914, for shoot
ing up part of the police force
of Charlotte, was shot and killed
at Caledonia farm No. 2, Halifax
county, last Wednesday. Sykes
had been put in for twelve years.
He attempted to escape while on
the days work. He will be
buried at the farm. Sykes COM
panions are: jim Knott, senten-
ced to fifteen years; viii Stam-
ey, sentenced to four years
and Jesse Helms, sentenced to
twelve years.
The details of the killing have
not reached us. The only infor-
nation was that Sykes attempted
to escape while returning to the
camp from work and that he was
shot and killed by guard.
The specific charge against
Sykes was felonious assault. The
same charge was lodged against
the other three, The policeman
who was shot in the scrap was
very seriously wounded and it
was thought at first he would
sucumb but he finally got we'll,
That kept thecharge from being
murder.

Strike at City Point

Four hundred electrical work
ers at the DUPONT Works at City
Point walked out Thursday
morning. The strike occurred
after the refusal of the demands
of the electrical workers for an
eight hour day, with a minimum
wage of 60 cents per hour, and
recognition of the union.
The strikers went out quietly
and there has been nothing APP
p.oaching trouble. 1t is thought
the strike will soon be settled
satisfactorily to both sides.

CONTEST CLOSED II
LAST FRIDAY
Three Contestants Did Such Good
Work Three Prizes Will be
Given instead Of Two
Originally Offered

The Herald's Players Populari
/ ty Contest came to a close or
last Friday night. OF the dozer
or more contestants who starteC
out at the beginning only three
remained fighting at the finish.
The standing of the prize winners
shows clearly the perseverance
and energy with which these
three managed to pile up such
an amount of votes.
From the standpoint of the
Herald, as well as from that of
the fortunate contestants, the
contest was a success, one hun
dred and seventy eight new sub
scriptions being secured and a
correspondingly large number of
renewals. The three highest
contestants were so close togeth-
erat the wind-up of the contest,
ithas been thought proper to
award three prizes instead of
two as originally offered. This
is done in recognition of the
excellent work done by the third
contestant.
Prize winners are as follows:
j. E. Dobbins, First Prize,
Oil 500 votes,
Clyde Mizell, Second Prize,
772, 600 votes,
Claraence Grimmer, Third
Prize, 6l0, $50 votes.
The standing of the other con-
testants is not given, none of
them coming anywhere near the
standing of the three prize win
ners. Had some of the other
contestants taken advantage of
the additional votes given with
clubs of ten subscriptions, the
standing of the contestants would
have been great deal nearer
even.

At the best she is bad loser.
1t will be at least four years before
the question of suffrage can be rein
troduced in New York state. During
that time 1t would be wise for the
suffragists to cease abusing the men
and to look into themselves to find
whether there is not some radical de-
feet which must be corrected before
the male voter can be convinced that
the millennium is to be attained, not
only by wedding out the voting list
which already includes a large amount
Of ignorance, but by doubling its
numbers.
These ladies then perhaps will
realize that the educated suffragist
represents only a minute portion Of
the possible women votes and that II
once granted the vote, they could be
voted, en- bloc, with far greater ia
cility than Tammany hall can handle
It's male following now.
