McCLENDON REVIVAL DRAWING
LARGE CROWDS

The McClendon Evangelistic
Campaign is growing in interest
and numbers. His sermons are
scriptural, logical and delivered
with great power in his own
unique manner. The sermon last
Sunday night on the Ten Com.
mandments" was one Of the
greatest ever heard in this COM
munity prehaps the greatest
ever heard on this subject. The
evangelist laid especial emphasis
on the sins of profanity, Sabbath
desecration and adultery. He
showed clearly that while there
might be some excuse for the
committal of almost any other
sin in the decalogue, there is ab-
solutely none for profanity.
Services are being held every
day monday and Saturday ex-
cepted) at 3 and 8P. M. and

THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE

Heretofore the decennial Lam
beth conferences of Anglican
bishops have had but an acade'
mic interest for American
Episcopalians and no interest at
all for other bodies of American
Christians. All that is changed
however, by the launching of
''The Concordat" at the last
General Convention of the
Episcopal Church at Detroit, by
the indications of a readiness to
accept that plan by DR.. Boynton
and other eminent Congregation
alists and by the probability that
the step will be adopted by the
Episcopal General Convention
three years hence.
This "Concordat", or plan by
which Congregational ministers
may preach in Episcopal churches
without losing their own
denominational connections and
standing, was formulated by an
earlier Lambeth conference, in
an effort to bring into closer fel-
lowship the two churches, with
the hope of paving the way for
a closer afiliation Of all Protes-
tant Christendom. 1t IS to hold
a foremost place among the many
topics of worldwide interest Of
Christendom which are to come
up for discussion at the confer
ence which opened yesterday.
This with the fact that seventy
two American bishops are taking
part in the proceedings. Bishop
Cheshire, of North Carolina
among them.
Among the subjects named for
discussion In the conference pro-
gram are Christianity and In
ternational Relation" which will
turn upon the League of Nations;
the Church and industrial prob
lens, marriage and morals, the
relation of Spiritism, Christian
Science and Theosophy to the
Christian faith, the poaition of
women in the Anglican Church
and the relation of that Church
to missions, including such heal
ing missions as were recently
held In two Brooklyn churches.
The interest In the discussions
will not be less because the con-
ference has no power to impose
its conclusions upon any church
body. Its purpose 10 to clear the
minds of church leaders by a full
and free private discussion of
vital problems and to reach con-
clusions which may become !
points of light and leading not
only for the Anglican Church In
all parts of the British Empire
but for Protestant Christianity |
everywhere : Brooklyn Eagle. |

Typhoid in State is Fast
Becoming History

Reports from the one hundred
counties of North Carolina made
to the State Board of Health for
the month of June show the
smallest number of typhoid fever
casessinceaccurate statistics have
been kept in the State. For the
month a total of 152 cases were
reported as against 432 cases re-
ported during June of last year,
a reduction of 280 cases this
year.
The State Board of Health has
been concentrating in its efforts
against typhoid fever through
anti-typhoid vaccination and the
installation of sanitary privies.
These efforts are bearing fruit
as shown in the decrease in the
number of cases and in the
steadily decreasing number of
deaths from this cause. In 1914
there were S39 deaths from ty-
phoid in the State. In 1919
there were 427, a reduction of
more than fifty per cent in five
years.
The summer months, or the
fly months, mark the height of
the prevalence of the disease
August showing the greatest
number of cases and the largest
number of deaths. The State
Board of Health, in cooperation
with the county authorities, is
now conducting dispensaries for
the administering of anti-typhoid
vaccination in a number of
counties, and in all counties
where dispensaries are not being |
conducted the anti-typhoid vac
cine is being furnished without
cost by the state laboratory to
physicians for the treatment
Of local people. In addition
every effort is being made to en-
force the sanitary privy law, and
thereby prevent the spread of
typhoid fever and other intesti-
nal diseases which are transmit
ted by flies.
Not only were the people Of
the state almost free from typh-
Did fever last month, but the re-
ports indicate that the public
health was never better. The
following are the number of
cases of the several reportable
diseases for the month;
Whooping cough, 1,475,
measles 6S1, diphtheria 43, scar
ct fever "a, septic sore throat
2, small pox 249, chickenpox
SO, typhoid fever l52, meningi-
lis 13, German measles /, optha-
ina neonatorum 5, trachcoma 4,
yphus fever 2.

The Water Resources Division
of the Nortt. Carolina Geoglogi.
cal and Economic Survey is en-
gagged in a water resource sur
vey of the State, the object being
to investigate possible water
power sites and to encourage their
utilization by local industries and
municipalities, as well as to
aid municipalities in obtaining
sufficient water supplies for city
purposes. Thorndike Saville,

rat and Fishers Rivers in Surry
County for power purposes in
Dobson and Pilot Mountain.
Similar studies on Johns River
and Wilson Creek will soon be
undertaken for power purposes
in Lemon and Collettsville. Later
IN the summer Geological Survey
hopes to be able to make power
studies in Avery and Iransyl-
venia Countries.
Already water power surveys
have been made at Pinetops and
Angler together with a prelimin-
airy survey at Fayetteville. A
water supply investigation has
lust been completed at Carthage.

FORMER GRoToN MAN
 ALLEGED DRAFT EvADER

Louis Cohen, formerly employed at the croton Iron works, the first draft evader to bc arrested of the list submitted to the department of justice in the Connecticut ( strict, was arresetd in Brooklyn, N. J., Monday afternoon on a warrant iss isl in Hartford.
 Cohen was formerly a resident of Chestnut Hifi, near Willimantic, and II $ alleged he committed perjury in the filing of his questionnaire in the seleetive ser vice provisions. It is claimed he alleged he had wife and children dependent upon him, but later he was exempted from service because of injuries. It has been fcund that he had no wife dependent on him at the time of the filing of the claim.
 The federal agents traced Cohen from Chestnut Hill to New York. then to Gro ton, where he had been employed in the Grcton Iron works, where he iiled q claim for compensation under the state com2er- sstion laws for injuries received ;n inc course of his work.
 Il was because of these in; Iries that he was later exempted from military service but the perjury alleged by the governnIen was committed before this time.
 From Groton, Cohen returned to New York, and information as to his move- ments from this state was furnished the New York office of the bureau of invesu- gatien, with the result that he was ar rested in Brooklyn Monday afternoon.

 COUGH CASES IMMEDIATELY

It is absolutely essential in prevent ing epidemics to know the, source and origin of the different foei of cases save special bulletin on whooping cough, is sued by the bureau of preventabie dis eases, state department of health. House holders and physicians can greatly assist health officers in Connecticut in com batting .whooping cough by reporting all cases at once to them.
 Whooping cough is being reported in increasing numbers from many commun- tiles throughout Connecticut. This dis ease during the first six months of the year was responsible for more deaths than measles or scarlet fever and near ly as many as dtphtheria
 (Each point on chart represent the to- tai number of cases reported for week Read number of cases by figures on each side of chart)
 During July cases from whooping cough were pported with increasing frequency. Many families did not call a physician to attend the child who was ill Some of these children were fortu- nate and survived, others died, for the doctor was called too late
 The increase in whooping cough is a serious one and health officers should warn physicians of it's statewide preva- fence. Parents can do much to protect Lheir children by calling the family phy- 'sician early in the course of the disease. The early diagnosis and prompt treat ment may prevent the serious after-ef- fects that often follow, or save the life of child.
 Children under two years of age are the chief sufferers and it is among this group that most of the deaths occur. In this state over fifty per cent. of the Whooping cough deaths are in children under one year of age
 Whooping cough is very easily sures d from one to another by material from the mouth and nose. This material may bt scattered as in coughing or sneezing, or In the use of common articles as hand kerehiefs, towels and clothing.
 Wnooping cough is very contagious in it's early stages and children are most at this time before the characteristic ! whoop" appars. The ordinary cold a child has may be the beginning o1 whooping cought.
 Prevention-Parents should keen all children with colds away from the cthel children, however mild the cold may be
 Do not use any thing for another child such as handkerchiefs and towels or other clothing that has been in con tact uith a sick child.
 Do not allow anyone to kiss the baby on the mouth
 Be careful in allowing children to ear raw articles of food given to them. Suspect all children with "an ordin ary cold" to be a whooping cough case and protect the family accordingly.
 When the baby has a cough or cold call the family physician.
