No Meningitis Here.

No little uneasiness was oc-
casioned in Rockingham by the
report on Thursday of last week
that a young man of the town,
Ralph Wilson, was ill with the
dreaded cerebro spinal menin-
gifts.
The young man had been both
cred for several weeks with an
abscess or rising in his ear. The
rising became infected with a
pneumonia germ last week and
on Wednesday he was forced to
take. He grew rapidly worse.
The local physicians were of the
opinion that his trouble was en-
tirely from the infected abscess
but to be on the safe side, a
specialist was wired fox from
Charlotte for consolation. He
arrived in the city Friday morn
ing, and agreed in the diagnosis
of the local physicians and that
the meningitis was not Of the
contagious type.
To make insurance doubly
sure, he carried a speciman from
the young mans spine to Char
lotte Friday afternoon for
examination, which examination
proved the diagnosis to be cor
rect: namely, that the malady
was not of the dreaded contag-
ious type and that no uneasiness
as a result of an epidemic or
spreading need be at all felt.
Mr.. Wilson's condition con-
tinued unimproved until Friday
night death relieved him of his
suffering. His father, Mr.. P. M.
Wilson, arrived from Clairemont
Friday, and Saturday carried the
remains there for interment.

Wounded Soldier Gives F acts.

Capt. David Fallon, recently
from the trenches in France,gave
a splendid address upon war con.
ditions and the necessity ot
serving, saving and sacrifice, in
the Methodist church last Sun.
day night.
The building was crowded to
its capacity and a number were
unable to obtain seats. The at
tendance and rapt attention
accorded the speaker evidenced
the interest OF our people.
Capt. Fallon was scheduled to
arrive on the train due here at
TBS, but the train was over an
hour late, and he did not reach
the church until $50. In the
meantime, F. w. Bynum, who is
chairman of the county commit
tee on War Savings Stamps, ex.
planned to the audience the
general plan of the stamps and
certificates, and impressed upon
them the vital need of rallying
to the government even to the
point where the savings would
be an actual privation. For
even at that, we are sacrificing
nothing as compared with the
sacrifices being made by our
boys who are training for going
over yonder." Mr.. Bynum
briefly introduced Capt. Fallon
to the audience, and for fifty min
utes this Australian soldier
thrilled the hundreds with his
message. He was an instructor
at a military academy in Aus
tralia for several years. and at
the outbreak of the war he
with several thousand comrades
were sent 10 the Gallipoli PENN.
sular where for z months they
battled valiantly to overcome the
Turks. Later he fought on the
French Belgium front, and was
wounded fifteen times, the ff-
teenth wound incapacitating him
from further active service. He
is now touring this country, de-
tailed by the British government
to inform our people as to first
hand conditions abroad and how
vitality necessary it is for every
individual of us to save and serve.
He vividly depicted the horror of
German warfare, of the barbar-
ism of the Hun kultur and their
utter disregard for every element
of civilized ethics.
After address of Capt. Fallon,
Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Win
ston, made a short stirring
appeal for a more hearty support
of the War Savings Stamps. |
Cards were distributed through
out the audience on which many |
wrote the amount they intended
to take in stamps and certificates
during this year. The amount
so pledged totaled $1,000. Three
individuals pledged $1,000 each. |
Monday morning Capt. Fallon
made an address to the school at |
nine o'clock, for thirty minutes,
and then was driven to Laurin-
burg for an eleven o'clock |
