TEN TO ONE SAVING
26,527 People Immunized at a Cost
Of IA Cents Apiece

The final figures for the anti
typhoid campaignes recently con
Quoted in five counties of the
State show that 26, 537 people
took three complete treatments
at total cost of $376l 81 to the
counties, or l4.2 cents per person
immunized. Northampton lead
in point of low per capital cost.
They immunlzed S489 people at
cost of SO cents piece, Cumber-
land was next with 3844 at rs
cents a piece, Wake immunized
1856 at Is. Z cents apiece while
Buncombe immunized~ 1855 al
1873 cents and Henderson 2093 at
2l.9 cents.
1t has been estimated that had
these 26, 531 people paid the
usual price of 80 cents per dose
or 81 so per complete treatment,
it would have cost them $39, 800
whereas by the method adopted
the counties saved over $50, 900.
The total loss from typhoid
fever saved to these five counties
on account of the anti-tyhoid
treatment duriGg the next five
years is assuming, a saving of
ll3 deaths and 1880 cases and,
estimating a life saved to be
worth 81, 200 and the cost of a
case of typhoid al $500, shows a
saving OF $4l8, 600.

REGISTRATION IMPROVING
More Deaths Being Registered
Than Ever Before

The registration of births and
deaths in North Carolina is i'm
proving rapidly. The returns
for June and July are the best
thus far recorded. For the
month of June 2922 deaths We're
reported to the Bureau of Vital
Statistics and for July 297l.
The Vital Statistics law was
amended by the last Legislature
requiring that certificates Of
death be filed before a body
could be buried. AS a result the
death registration has been i'm
proved about Is per cent since
the operation of the new law,
This does not mean that there
are more deaths occurring than
ever before, but simply that they
are being better reported. There
are still a large number of unre-
ported deaths that occur in Vari-
Gus parts of the state, but a
more thorough enforcement of
the law promises still further
Improvement along this line.
Birth registration in North
Carolina is much better than
death registration. During the
first six months there were an
average of Glib births reported
each month against 2560 deaths
The authorities point out that
there is little indication of race
suicide in these figures.

WANT STATE CONVICTS ON

Asheville Board Of Trade Starts
Agitation

AsheWIe, N. c, The Good
Roads movement gets another
boost in the agitation just start
ed by the Asheville Board of
Trade to work all able bodied
male convicts on the public high
ways of the state. At recent
meeting the resolution following
was unanimously passed:
Recognizing that substantial
growth and prosperity follows
the construction of good roads,
and the growing interest in their
value as exemplifed in the Land
of the Sky, the state of North
Carolina and the entire country,
together with the increasing de
mands Of the people for better
roads, and
Believing that this great
question has become one not
only of statewide, but of nation
wide Importance,
I'VE, the Directors of the Ash
vile Board Of Trade, represent
ing nearly six hundred business
and professional men of AShVille,
Western North Carolina, do
most earnestly request and urge
the people of North Carolina to
demand the working of all able
bodied male state convicts on the
public roads throughout the state
under the general supervision OF
the State Highway Commission
and such rules and regulations as
may be necessary to secure the
greatest efficiency therefrom.
That a copy Of the above be
sent to the Governor and other
State Officials, to the editors of
newspapers throughout the state,
and to the various civic organi-
cations, with the request that
every effort be used to arouse
public sentiment to the enormous
value of the above policy.
Everybody urge the state auth
critics and next legislature to
work state conyicts on public
roads. "

ROANOKE RAPIDS
w WINS PENNANT
Taking Both Games Of Double
Header Played With Emporia
Saturday Gives Championship
to Home Team
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
At Close of League

With score of q games won
to l5 lost out of the 3i scheduled
games, Roanoke Rapids won the
championship in the Tri-Town
League on last Saturday after
noon.
1t was a fight to the finish.
At no time during the league did
any team have a big lead, in
iact, it required both games of
the double header played Satur-
day to place Roanoke Rapids in
the championship. One game
won and one lost would have tied
the local club with Franklin and
the fight would have been on in
earnest.
Emporia played in hard luck
straight through the season. At
no time did they leave the un-
enviable position, ordinarily de-
signated as the cellar. Franklin,
with large percentage of her
first games scheduled with En-
poria, started out in the lead, but
was practically overtaken in the
third week of the season by Roa-
noke Rapids and it was nip and
tuck contest for the first place
between Roanoke Rapids and
Franklin for the remainder of
the season.
The management of the Roa-
noke Rapid, team by j. M. Jack
son and j. c. Smith was good.
Tried by the only standard that
counts, that is result-getting, it
was the best in the League.
Higher priced players were
secured tor both the Emporia
and the Franklin Clubs than for
the Roanoke Rapids team bu.
the Roanoke Rapids team played
better ball than did the other
after the first two weeks of the
League.
1t would be hard to state
which of the individual players
contributed the most toward the
success of the Roanoke Rapids
Club. The pitching of Jack
Scott and SAKE Barnes was
effective in winning
games, and Pace must be
with some victories won
by brilliant pitching. Holloman
was a good catcher and a still +
better field captain. Honig with
an almost perfect fielding re
cord, easily lead the team, and
the league, in batting average
Jack Scott, SAKE Barnes, Hold T
ing, and Dewitt, johnson were I
all heavy batters, closing the
season with batting averages
ranging from ,275 to $50. In
the intield, the work of Holding
at first easily ranked, that of
Johnson a close second. Bar
rett at second base, made specta-
rular and magnificent plays, err
rors on off days detracting to
some extent from his general
average.
Taken as a whole the team
played fast, inside baseball.
The team work was good and
lpproximated if not equalled
that of class c baseball. The team
that finished the season for Roa-
noke Rapids could have held its
Dwn with any amateur team in
the State. 1t was certainly the
best team Roanoke Rapids has
ever had and one of which its
hackers could Justly feel proud.
