$4,000 CASES IN VIRGINIA.

A recent bulletin sent out by the
Anti-Tuberoulosis Association of Vir-
ginia, states that there are $4,000 cas-
es of tuberculosis in Virginia.
There are, all told, only about $50
beds in the Sanitariums in the State,
including Catawba, and private sani-
tariums in the city of Richmond, with
35 beds, Danvillc, 20 beds; Salem, 25; ;
and Catawba, with about ITO beds. 1t
will be seen ut glance that provis-
ion for caring for these unfortunates
is entirely inadequate. Consider these
facts as brought out by the report of
the Tuberculosis Commission of .yir-
ginia, 1916, printed and circulatd by
order Of the Governor. "More than
twice as many persons died in Virgin
in in 1914 from tuberculosis .
than from all the seven most fatal dis
| cases combined-typhoid fever, small
pox, measles, scarlet fever, diptheria,
whooping cough and malaria" The
above named diseases caused all to-
gether 1920 deaths; tuberculosis caus-
ed 3,727 deaths, more than twice as
many. One person out of every eight
who died in Virginia during the year
1914 died of tuberculosis.
The death rate among the negroes
of the State is much higher than
among the whites. Of the deaths
among the colored people thirty-six
per cent Of those who died were do
mestics, working in the families of
white people.
So, from n purely selfish point of
view, active steps should be taken to
Mt least prevent the sprend of the dis
ease. The disease is not hereditary
but communicated from infected cas-.
es. If there are $4,000 cases, and this
is regarded as q conservative esti.
mate, which was made as of the fig.
ures of two years ago, and the disease
is not decreasing in number. AT
Catawba, there are only 169 beds, so il
can be seen at glance that Tazewel
county needs sanitarium right here
Active steps are to be taken at once
to arouse the people on the crying
and pressing need of another and 6
larger hospital in Southwest Virginit
for the care and cure of the unfortu
nate people who have the dreaded dis
: case and to prevent its further spread

PLANS MADE TO BUILD CHILD
REN'S HOSPITAL.

The Virginia Anti-Tuberculosis AS
sociation has issued the following:
Plans were determined upon at II
meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Virginia Anti-Tubcrculosis Asso-
cintion held this week to cooperate
with the Cntawbn Teachers Associn
ton to raise funds for II hospital for
crippled children. The need for such
hospital has been much discussed by
The tuberculosis Association and il
hnd been determined to do this piece
OF work rs soon ns the negro sanitnr-
ium, in which the Association took 40
active mn interest, had been provided
for.
ut is time we did something for our
crippled children" said Captain w. w.
Baker, President of the Virginia Anti
tuberculosis Association. "Four hun
drcd and twelve children under fifteen
years of age died in Virginia from tu
berculosis in 1914. ManyIof them died
OF tuberculosis of tho bone. MANY
others have the disease, and no pro-
vision has been made for their treat
ment, There is no special hospital
or ward in the State for these children,
Tho general hospitals take them i'm
limited numbers, but the long period
of treatment necessary makes it al
most essential thnt special provision
should be made for them. Many of
these children, if trcntcd curly would
become self supporting citizens and
would have practically their fun op-
portunity for happiness and service"
1t is planned to use portion of the
funds procured by the snle of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for this object.
The proceeds from the seals were US
cd in the same manner to further the
cause of the Negro Snntiorium. The
full plans for the .childrcn's snnitor-
ium have not been worked out, but n
special committee has already been
appointed consisting of DR.. Ennion
G. Williams, DR.. w. M. Graham, of
Richmond, DR.. Charles Grandy, of
Norfolk, and Miss Agnes d. Randolph
executive secretary of the Virginia
Anti-Tuberculosis Association.

ELECTION IN TAzEwELL QUIET

The election in Tazcwell county
passed off quietly. The weather was
ideal and enthusiasm ran high all ov-
er the district, and heavy vote was
polled. AS usual, both fides claimed
the election up to late hour in the
afternoon.
A telegram received from Mr.. Cald-
well, Mr.. Trinkle's manager, late on
Tuesday afternoon, which stated that
Trinkle was carrying everything over
on the main line, and Democrats here
were encouraged, and confidently pre-
dicted Slemp's defeat. The Republi
cans, however, as rule, never had
doubt of Trinkle's defeat. There
was large crowd in town, but no dis
order whatsoever or confusion.
AT The New Theater.
AS advertised, arrangements were
made to get the returns ut the New
Theater, and show the figures on the
screen. A large crowd filled the build
ing, many ladis and young people
being among the NUMBER. Several fine
reels of pictures were shown, and be-
tween times the election returns,
many of which proved to be incorrect,
and so it hns been ever since as re-
CARDS the National ticket. At this
writing, Thursday noon, the result is
still in doubt, both sides claiming a
majority in the electoral college. The
papers yesterday morning stated that
both President Wilson and Hughes
were still confident of election.
An official count may be necessary
to determine the result.

TRIUNE IMMERSION.

Episcopal Minister Administers Ordi-
nance After Ancient Custom.
An unusual religious ceremony was
performed here on Wednesday after
noon in the Baptist church, the only
one of the kind, perhaps, ever per-
formed in Southwest Virginia, GER
tainly within recent years.
Rev. Mr.. Rich, Episcopal minister,
baptized one Mr.. Smith, of Bluefeld,
three times, face foremost, in the bap-
tistry, in the Baptist church. This
form of baptism is practiced by the
denomination known rs Dunkards, a
numerous and highly respected de-
nomination Of Christians in the Unit
ed States, but that the Episcopalians
or any other denomination than the
Dunkards observed the rite in this
form, is not generally known III this
section.
Arch Deacon Rich informs the writ
er, however, that this form of triune
immersion, while not doctrinal re-
quirement, has been the custom in the
Episcopal church for ages; whether
the ordinance is performed by sprink.
ling, pouring or immersion in the
name of the Father. once in the name
of the son, and once in the name OF
the Holy Ghost. The service was sol.
emn and impressive, and had the SER
vice been advertised and known there
would have no doubt been large
crowd present.
Bishop Tucker and Arch Deacon
Rich, reached Tazewell by automobile
no Wednesday afternoon, accompan-
led by the candidate, Mr.. Smith, and
Mr.. Fowler and a lady, about 5 p. m.
All preparations had been made for
the baptism, which was performed
about $3.50. Bishop Tucker and Mr..
