MEDINA COMMISSIONERS
ENDORSE BURKE BILL

Boards Of County Commissioners
thruout the state heartily endorse SEN
ator Burke's billsto protect the public
highways Of the state by. regulating
the weight of loads on trucks,width Of
tires, etc, and the Medina County
Commissioners have been besieged
with letters asking their endorsement
and to write a letter to Governor
Davis urging him not to be influenced
by the trucking interests to veto the
bill.
OF great benefit is the enforcement
clause of the. bill which AUTHORIZES the
sheriff. to detail one Sor more deputies
for the special work of enforcing the
provisions for such periods of time
and in such manner as he shall deem
necessary annually for such purpose.
Medina's Commissioners endorse
the bill.

POOLING THE FARMER

The so-called Emergency Tariff Act
has been rushed through Congress
and Republican leaders are telling the
farmers that it is being done to help
them. Undoubtedly there are many
who place confidence in such state
ments, but they are doomed to disap-
pointment.
America today is producing more
than is consumed at home. This is
true as regards farm products and
the products of factory as well.
The surplus must be sold abroad.
If we place an embargo agaist the
goods Of foreign nations they will re-
taiate with like embargo against
ours. Most nations of the world to-
day are without gold to pay for our
products. They must pay for ours
with gold.
Farmers who blindly believe that
this tariff will help them are doomed
to disappointment. Those Of the
favored interests in America who
have managed to get protection for
certain products will reap rich re-
ward.
The farmer will be poorer and per-
haps wiser and the great American
public will pay the bill. The favored
interests knew what they were doing
last November when they raised mil
lions of dollars to make the happiest
and most prosperous people on the
face Of the globe think they wanted q
change.

Memorial Day brings deeper and
richer memories every year, as the
roll OF honor grows longer with the
names of Americans who have died
for their flag at home and overseas.
But new significance attaches to the
day. at this time. sBefore the great
war the nations knew that its men
were heroes half a century ago. Now
It knows that it's men can be heroes
in the present prosaic day.
Those who gave their lives in three
wars are now to be remembered. The
day hallows the memory of those who
died that our nation might remain a
union of states; of those who rescued
Cuba from the tyranny of Spain; and
Of the vast number who fell that the
double-headed eagle of Prussian au-
tocracy should not menace the Ameri-
can bird of freedom.
We honor the memory of our sol
der dead, but deeper lesson should
be held in mind-that it is Sacred
obligation to the living to preserve
that for which they made the su-
preme sacrifce-for which they "paid
the last full measure of devotion .
We may we'll, in these days of strife
and unrest, rededicate ourselves to
preserving and continuing the work
they so worthily begun, remembering
that it is an honor to rest under the
Stars and Stripes either in life or
death.
Memorial Day is, and should be, a
rebirth of the nations soul. For one
day we forget dollar-chasing and al
low the elemental instincts Of human
ity full scope. Even if materialsts,
we are willing to lay eihblems Of i'm
mortality on the graves Of those we
love.
And as spring succeeds spring, and
the American nation grows in
strength and influence because of its
imperishable ideals, our annual Me.
mortal Day will continue its mission
of inspiration.
The republics poise is. in its SEN
timent and hallowed memories.

about A miles and then near. the

One place we were invited by a
Greek monk to sit under the shade of
an orange tree and eat sweet lemons
which he furnished us. He also gave
us water, and we ate our lunch there
while he, like all foreigners, smoked
cigarettes. A real, hospitable old

The City Water.

There is a vast amount of com
plant about the city water. In
fact, may have discontinued us
ing it either for drinking or
washing, and get their water
from wells. The water has a
distinct odor and discolors cloth
ing when used for washing.
The town commissioners are
investigating and are, at work on
the water problem. DR.. McIn-
tQsh sent a sample to the State
Laboratory at Raleigh Wednes-
day night for an analysis. Sam
pies were sent two weeks ago,
and again last week from Ham
let, and the analysis showed it
clear of pollution and impurities.
No doubt this new analysis will
show it to be o. k, but never
theless the discoloration and
odor is present. One explana-
ton is that the new pond above
Hamlet causes the water to
taste of wocd-so much vegeta-
ton in the pond. y And being a
new pond, much alum etc. is
used to purify it and possibly
this excessive alum is cutting
iron rust from the pipes. At any
rate, the new analysis should
be made known by Monday.

Beyond question the State
Board of Health is doing splen.
did work throughout North Car
.olina. Its activities embrace a
wide variety of work, but per-
haps its best endeavors is in the
matter of clinics for the removal
of diseased tonsils and adenoids
among the children. Such a
clinic was held for Richmond
county here at Rockingham three
days this week and will continue
through Friday.
Several months ago the State
Board of Health sent Miss Idell
Buchan to Richmond county to
make a survey of the school
children, both white and colored,
to see just how many needed
this operation, and in particular
just how many were more urgent
cases. Following her inspection,
arrangements were made for
holding a clinic here. Due notice
was given of this clinic by Supt.
Bell, and 81 children reported for
operation.
The clinic was held in the
graded school building; the spe-
cialist in charge was Dr.. J. G..
Murphy, of Wilmington. Giving
the anesthetic and assisting him
was DR.. Frank Smith, son of Rev.
G. F. Smith, who was formerly
Methodist pastor at Rockingham
but who is now at Louisburg.
Miss Idell Buchan was the nurse
in charge, with six assistant
trained nurses.
The large, airy rooms Of the
school building were converted
into wards, with nice cots ar
ranged in rows therein. One
room was for the boys, one for
the girls, and in the rear of the
building were cots arranged for
the colored children. The large
room used by the Domestic
Science class was converted into
an operating roons and the room
just across the hall was used as
the anesthetizing room. After
being put to sleep in this room,
the child would be carried across
the hall to the operating room.

MACHINERY BOUGHT
Town of Rockingham Has
Ordered a $12,50O Fire
Truck. $1660 Cletrac
Tractor Also Ordered.
$500 Sprinkler and $3.50
Sweeper Bought Several
Weeks Ago Have Arrived.

Rockingham will soon have
working tools that will be equal
Of any town in the country and
vastly superior to the majority.
About two weeks ago the town
commissioners placed an order
for the best and newest fire
fighting machine made a La
France truck that will cost about
$l2,500. Delivery will be made
within ninety days. This elegant
truck has the most modern equip
ment, pneumatic tubes, pump
etc. In fact, there is no fire
truck in this part of the state that
can compare with the new truck
that will soon be brought here.
At the meeting of the commits
sioners Tuesday night contract
was closed with the Hardison
Company, of Wadesboro, for a
new "Cletrac" tractor, the price
delivered to be $1660. 1t has 20
h. p. at the belt and Is at draw
bar. 1t will be used for street
improvement, plowing, scraping
and other work that wouldrequire
the services of several horses.
The town is determined to have
better streets, and it is figured
that a tractor will reduce the
cost of building and maintaining
these streets, as well as enable
the work to be done quicker.
Several weeks ago orders were
placed for a street sprinkler and
for a sweeper. These have ar
rived and were put together
Wednesday, and will be at once
put to work. The sprinkler has a
tank of 900 gallons and cost $500.
The sweeper has a ZOO gallon
tank attached and cost $3.50; it is
an Austin two.speed sweep; these
two machines are f. O. b. Chicago.
They were bought through the
Tractor & Machinery Sales Co.,
of Richmond. With this sweeper
and sprinkler attached, thestreets
should be kept in the pink of
cleanliness, and the larger sprink-
Ter should be a Godsend to the
dust-covered citizens of the un-
paved street sections of the city.
The town truck will be the mot
i've power for operating both of
these machines.
The town fathers are evidently
determined to get the best, or
nothing. They are manifesting
the keenest interest in. the town
affairs.
