PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF ILLS
Pigs Are Too Often Compelled to Work
Over and Live Upon Same Soil
Too Intensely.

Experience teaches us that the most
serious diseases Of swine are those
Of an infectious or contagious char
acter, and the parasites that get onto
or into the pig. Now most Of this is
caused primarily by the fact that the
pigs are all too often forced to work
over and live upon the same soil too In
tensely, without any intervening rem

Chickens and Neighbors.

As Spring approaches and people
in Rockingham begin the planting
of gardens, making flower beds and
otherwise disturbing the earth, the
annual cry against encroaching
chickens is heard; and already The
Post Dispatch has received phone
calls asking the paper TO say some,
thing" about this chicken evil.
But it should not be necessary to
say something. Any decent, self
respecting citizen will confine his or
her chickens without waiting for a
neighbor to complain. If your chick
ems are running at large about town
and if you want to keep the respect
and good will of your neighbors,
then put them up, and waste no
time in doing it.

Story of Our States.

The Post Dispatch has contracted
with an agency for 4S one-half col
umn articles, giving brief sketch
of each of the states of the Union.
These will be published weekly, and
if readers will clip these out and
save them they will have good
historical outline of the various
states. Another interesting feature
in connection with these is the fact
that each states coat of arms ap-
pears with each article.

The registration books for the
school bond election for the town of
Rockingham will be opened next
Monday, and will close at sundown
on April 2nd. H. L, Guthrie is the
registrar This is an entirely NEW
registration for the town; therefore
if you men and women wish to vote
ina the school bond election, you
must register (The women who
registered last year for the election
in November must not get the idea
that that registration will enable
them to vote this time. 1t will not;
the registration must be entirely
new, and for every one.)
The election takes place Tuesday,
April 18th, and is on the question
of issuing 100000 in bonds for erec-
ton and equipment of a new high
school building.

night of last week did some cffec-
tive scouting in lower Steele's town.
ship. They were on a raid for a
still, but when Just across Noun
tain Greek bridge they saw two cars
in front of them stop and minute
later start again. They searched
the cars but found nothing, but 60
ing a short distance further they
found eleven gallons of blockade
liquor by the side of the road.
A few minutes later they met an
other car, and stopping it they
found four gallons OF whiskey. Bill
Patterson, Jr., was driving the car
and the other two occupants were
Ralph LeGrand and Comar Steele,
all colored. These the officers ar
rested. They went on four miles

had been moved that Gay. 1t was
scarcely rs yards above the road
leading to the Stanback ferry.
The Patterson negro was turned
loose that night under bond fur
nished by Mr.. Geo. P. Entwistle, but
the other two were brought to Jail.

them a hearing next day, Friday,

Snake in Store.

]. A. Seawell found yard-long
Pilot snake under his refrigerator
in his grocery store here Wednes-
day afternoon, and he quickly kill
ed it. The reptile evidently had
crawled from beneath the store
through the drain-hole that permits
the melted ice water to drip from re-
frigerator to the ground below.
Mr.. Seaweh has commented on
on the fact that he has not been
bothered with mice or rats, and
doubtless the presence of this
snake, and probably snakes, ac-
counts for it.

Caught In The Act.

Tom LunccfOrd, a White youth
aged about 10, is in jail for breaking
into the J. F. Diggs store, in Wolf
Pit, Saturday night.
Mr.. Diggs had reason to believe
that his store would be entered Sat
crday night, so he stationed Mr.. T.
r. Rainwaters therein to watch.
About midnight a noise was heard
at a rear window, of the iron bars
being pried apart, and presently
two fellows entered the darkened
building. After getting inside, the
second man remarked that he would
go back outside and keep watch; he
had shotgun in his hand and
crawled back through the window.
Mr.. Rainwaters then threw his flash
light on the man in the store, and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
The man, who proved to be Tom
Lunceford, did as ordered. He was
then ordered to take his pistol from
his pocket and throw it on the floor.
RainWaters fired twice in the air to
summon help, and soon Mr.. Diggs
and others came and the prisoner
was brought to Rockingham to Jail.
Squire Steele Monday bound him to
April 18th term of criminal court
under $500 bond; he was unable to
furnish this bond and so is now in
jail.
There seemed to be three in the
party, but the other two have so far
not been apprehended.
LATER-On Tuesday night Sher-
if Mcdonald crossed over into
South Carolina, and with Rural Po-
liceman T. C. Chavis he and officers
went to the house of John Groom,
about two miles east of Kollock and
arrested there two brothers, Charles
and Lonnie Chavis, aged 21 and 1S.
The two were brought to Rocking
ham and placed in-iail to await a
preliminary hearing. Lunceford is
said to have stated that Charles
Chavis is the one who entered the
store with him, and that Lonnie
remained outside. The two young
men deny any connection with the
store breaking, however, and assert
that they are entirely innocent.
These two Chavis young men
will be given a hearing before

Fire at Gin.

While in operation on Friday
afternoon of last week, the Wat
son cotton gin caught fire. Either
a match, or nail going through
gin, caused the ignition. The
flames spread rapidly over the
loose cotton, but the quick use of
chemical extinguishers and bar
rels of handy water soon put it
out with only a loss of something
like a thousand dollars. This is
covered by insurance. The
flames were out by the time the
town fire truck arrived.

The Legislature lastweck male
"a complete change in the Sem
atorial districts throughout the
State. Many counties were
changed and swapped about, and
the author of the bill estimated
that by the new arrangement the
Republicans would possibly elect
six Senators instead of the pres
ent number of eleven.
Richmond county was hereto
fore in a district with Chatham,
Moore and Scotland, these four
counties having two Senators.
The new law puts Richmond
county in the district with Scot
land, Montgomery and Davidson.
In other words the Republican
county of Davidson, and the more
or less close county ofMontgom-
cry, will be safely ballasted by
the rock-ribbed Democratic ma
jorities from Richmond and Scot
land. These four counties will
have two senators.
The new districts are:
First District - Camden, Chowan,
Currituck, Gates, Hertford, Pasquo-
tank and Perquimans counties shall
elect two senators.
Second : Beaufort, Dare, Hyde,
Martin, Pamlico, Tyrrell and Wash
