DEAF AND DUMB SCHOOL.

Charity and Children thinks "there
is perhaps no public institution con-
nected with our State government so
well managed as the school for the
deaf and dumb located at Morganton," !"
and it gives the following illustration
of Supt. E. Mex. Goodwin's excellent
management: The lowest bid on a
handsome infirmary which is ap-
preaching completion was $4,000,
which looked cheap enough. "The
average superintendent in charge of
public institution would have turn
ed the job over to the lowest respon-
sible bidder, and he would not be
blameable for so doing. But Mr.. Good
win, who is master builder as we'll
as very exceptional school man,
saw where the State could save mon
ey, and in addition to his ordinary
burdens, which are heavy and exact
Ing, undertook the construction Of
the building under his personal su-
Iervision. The result is that he will
complete it for little less than ST.
COO, saving the State more than $1,000,
and charging not a cent extra for
this great service" That is indeed
record worthy of note. Charity
and Children thinks that Mr.. Goodwin
is better buyer than the commission
eSta b1iShed hv the TepislatI1re to do
the buying for half dozen or more
of the larger State institutions and
states that for this reason resolution
was passed at a recent meeting of
the board of directors asking the Leg
islature to exempt this school from
the rules of the commission and al
low the superintendent to buy his sup
plies where, how and when he pleases.
Which would seem to be a pretty safe
thing to do with Supt. Goodwin.

The contention of Senator Simmons
and other Southern Senators that nj
trate of soda held by the War De-
partment at Wilmington and other
Southern ports should be distributed
to farmers at the price that would OBJ
tain in a free market, regardless of
what the soda cost the government
seems only just and fair. The nitrate
of soda was bought by the government
for war purposes at wartime prices,
and if it is sold to farmers at what
it cost the government they will have
to pay SIS or $40 ton more than
it could be bought for in a free mar
ket today, it is said. The govern
ment expects to take loss on other
supplies bought as war supplies and
it would not be fair to the farmers
to make them protect the government
against loss in purchasing this COM
modify which they must have at any
price.

CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.


Why will people persist in disre.
garding the advice Of physicians and
the dictates of common sense and
common courtesy? For the past sew
eral months health officers through
the newspapers and in every other
possible way have been warning peo-
pie that influenza is disseminated by
splt-swapping. That is a very inele-
giant way of putting it, but that is
what the doctors say: they put it just
that way. When one coughs or
sneezes without putting a handker-
chief over ones mouth, fine particles
of spit are scattered through the air
and remain suspended in the air for
some minutes, and any person who
breaths in that air so charged with
fine spit-spray runs a great risk of
contracting influenza. You may be
absolutely certain that you have not
got the "flu" and that you could not
give it to another person, but the
doctors say that people who do not
suspect that they have the disease
give it to others by careless coughing
and splitting. Even if there were no
danger to others in coughing and
sneezing without covering up ones
mouth and nose, it is highly improp-
er and impolite; and the danger makes
it criminal.
Some people-and they are aston
ishingly numerous for this enlighten-
ed age-scoff at what the physicians
say and in defiance of all advice
and common .politeness perpetrate
open-faced coughs and sneezes where
ever they please. They put their own
Judgment up against the Judgment
of the medicine man, but if by the
same careless coughing and sneezing
some one else gives them a case Of
"flu", they holler mighty quick for
the doctor to do his duty. -:
A striking illustration of what it
means to cough and sneeze openly is
given in report to the State Board
Of Health from North Carolina coun-
ty, as told in Raleigh dispatch:
"The. moving picture house of a
small1t0wn in that county resumed its
exhibit on the night of Friday, No.
vember 20. They had a full house
and several people noticed a man Ga
strangely in the audience who cough
ed and sneezed openly several times
Investigation later revealed the fact
that he had considerable tempera-
ture). The community had entirely
escaped the previous epidemic. Tc
make long story short, by Monday
night, December 2, within 72 hours
every. family represented at the show
had from two to seven members in
bed with severe attack of influ.
enza, the manager himself even not
escaping"
For the sake of others, don't cough
or sneeze openly until you get out
in an old field ten miles from an.

"'THE TRAIL OF THE SERPENT

The trail of the German serpent is
a long and sinuous and Shiny one. 1t
is over all the earth. Such a mar
velous system of spying and propa-
ganda work has never been known
before. Information gathered during
the years since the war began by the
investigation bureau of the Depart
ment of Justice and revealed in part
recently by A. Bruce Bielaski, chief
OF the bureau, makes a story that for
downright cussedness and despicable-
ness is unparalleled. They tried to
buy newspapers; they corrupted every
man they could, they did everything
they could by every foul means to in
fluence sentiment in this country IA
vorable to Germany before the United
States entered the war and to make
traitors after that. Senator Overman
is conducting the Senate inquiry into
German propaganda methods. He
says: 'The Senate intends to COM
plete this record for history. We
want the historian of this war to
know how Germany perfected its es-
pionage and propaganda system under
the very nose of the American .peo-
ple." A Washington dispatch to the
Greensboro News says: ..t.#
"The report of the Overman COM
mittee will be one of the most illum-
mating and far-reaching documents
ever turned out by either branch Of
Congress. It will contain material
for the scenario writer, the play
wright, the author Of detective stories,
and, above all else, it will embody
things which the. average American
citizen should know about the meth
DDS of the worlds master spies and
propagandists. If the senate commit
tee lives up to Senator Overman's
promise that it will write record for
history the inquiry will be vastly
more important than any congression-
al inquiry which has been given front
page space within generations"

Do not delay starting a savings account.
Sickness is an unknown quantity and ne
cessity is ever present. You may need
this or that. Find out just what you can
do without and even if you have enough
money to supply this particular want, put
it aside for the present. You will need it
at some future time more than you do now.
Every nation that has achieved great
financial success has done so upon the
basis OF its thrifty inhabitants. It Is not
expected that persons should not have some
pleasure. We call it recreation and it Is
as essentially necessary as labor, for it
helps one to work tho next day or tho
day after.
What we mean is that pleasures should
not DO enjoyed to greater extent than is
necessary just as dessert should not form
the greater part of the meal that we eat.
Divide up your time and give the greater
portion Of it to sleep and recreation, the
remainder being reserved for work. When
work time comes, work steadily and when
the pay day comes, save and save steadily.
If you will follow this advice, you will
live long and die happy.
If you have not secured handbook or
Christmas Savings Club card, arrange

on the floor Of the House today by
Majority Leader Kitchin.
Speaking under unanimous consent
for the first time in his career in
Congress. Leader Kitchin challenged
the House to stand with him In q
finish fight against such scheme. He
said:
IT will watch closely to see who will
play this game with me, and give
notice to them and to the House now
that If the Speaker in his Judgment
ever assigns me as one OF the con-
ferees I will not yield"
The House was well filled when Mr..
Kitchin began to speak and applauded
him vigorously.
Mr.. Kitchin paid tribute to the
hearty cooperation given by mem
bers Of the republican. as well as the
democratic, side in carrying out the
legislative program proposed by the
President. and said that a minority
had acted consistently in good faith
and zeal to put through all war legis-

He said he wanted to show that he

from any quarter that the Secretary
Of the Treasury would insist on a

Mr.. Kitchin. was when I read it in
New York newspaper about two
weeks ago. I was the most amazed
man in the Capitol"
Mr.. Kitchin said that he IL firmly con-
vinced that 1t is not wise nor abso-
lutely necessary to pass revenue
bill at this session Of Congress. But,
the commander-in-chief Of the Army
and Navy has ruled otherwise" said
Mr.. Kftchin, 'he has stated that 1t il
impossible. to properly finance the
operation Of our war program unless
this new revenue statute is passed.
II believe that :. when the COM
mander-in-chief speaks we should
not oppose. That would giye,a q false
Impression to the world and hostile
press on the other side of the water
would make much of the opportunity.
1t would seem as II Congress has
split with the chief executive and re-
fused to support his war plans. When
he gives orders in such circumstances
as patriotic statesmen and good
soldiers we must support him prompt
ly and uncomplainingly."
In answer to a question Mr..
Kitchen said that the Secretary Of
the Treasury did not think q new
tax bill was necessary until after his
