They may get INTO the glands OF the
neck, attack the throat, bowels, kid
neys, brain or other organs, as well as
the bones and joints. Nearly every
body at some time swallows OF
breathes in the germs of consumption,
but, owing to the power of resistance
of the healthy body, the germs are
not able to multiply. Otherwise many
more people would die of the disease.
In the lungs, the germs form little
Jumps called tubercles, from which the
name tuberculosis comes. There
they grow, soften, break open, and
are finally expelled by coughing. For
this reason, the sputum, or spit, of an
individual who has consunptfon is
usually filled with germs.
In the early stages Of the disease,
the germ is found in the spit in small
numbers, and in millions in the later
stages. Unless this spit is destroyed
by burning or by disinfectants, it may
become the most common method OF
carrying consumption to others.

auto has supplanted the good old
excursion method of travel, I'm,
less for a long distance. The
Rockingham Railroad advertised
an excursion to be run last Sun
day from Bennettsville to Rock
ingham; only II were aboard
when the train left bennettsville.
and 20 got on at Gibson. How,
ever, the usual large crowds got
on when Roberdel and the mill
stations were reached. There
were thousands here for the "Cy
clone Mack" services Sunday
and hundreds came from AIarl
boro county, but most of then
by auto.

Who Had The Baby I?

You have often heard of but
ton, button, whose got the but
ton"
Last Sunday morning it was a
question on Seaboard train No. 5
of baby, baby, who has the
baby" And thereby hangs a tale.
A woman got off of No. 5 at
Hamlet Sunday morning for
breakfast. When she started
back to the train, she saw it pull
ing out. She shrieked that baby
and suitcase were on that train,
and tainted, or pretended to faint.
At any rate, the dispatcher got
in touch with the Rockingham
agent and instructed him to hold
No. 5 at Rockingham until the
baby could be located and gotten
off. A search of the train re-
vealed no baby, though the suit
case was found. The dispatcher
was 50 informed. Search again"
ordered the head knocker. Again
the train was gone through from
end to end, and still no baby
Still a third time was this done
with no better success. All this
had taken 40 minutes 40 min
utes a fast Pullman train made
to await the search of a baby
Finally the train was allowed tC
proceed.
In the meantime the woman
had recovered" She seemed tc
forget the fact that she had lost
a baby, when she learned thai
her suit case was safe; and she
boarded Capt. Williams train
few minutes later and stepped
off at Monroe as jauntily a;
though no fast train had beer
delayed for forty minutes ant

by almost frantic railroad EN-
ployees.

THERE is too great tendency
among our people to leave law
enforcement strictly to the Off
GERS. Many of us no doubt have
the attitude that the officers are
paid to enforce the law, and we
therefore sit complacently by and
aid them not at all.
But this condition is to cease,
if the remarkable meeting of last
Friday night means anything. At
that time the "McLendon Club of
Richmond County" was formed,
and exactly 1908 men and women
signed their names as members
at the Cyclone Mack" tent meet
ing Friday night. The purpose
of the club is to assist the officers
of the law primarily in enforce
ment of the prohibition laws. A
meeting of the club will be held
every other month to keep in,
tact the organization and to keep
life in it.
This is a great forward step on
the part of our people, 1t has
beennotorious how easilywhiskey
could be obtained in the larger
towns of Richmond county; anc
the officers are almost powerless
to stop the traffic UNLESS THE
PEOPLE WANT 1T STOPPED
Officers must be supported II
their work, and the enforcement
of the prohibition laws depend;
upon how strong is the public
sentiment. Beyond doubt the
great McLendon meeting being
held here for the past month ha'
powerfully aroused the people o
the county, and they are going tt
make it so hot for blockaders an(
blindtigers that the said blockad
ers and b. is will have to move
on or shut up shop.

Postal Business.


The postoffice receipts are a
pretty good index to the business
life of a town. They show con-
clusively whether a town is going
backward or forward. And so
the fact that the postal receipts
for Rockingham postoffice show
a steady gain year by year is a
clear indication that this best
town of all" is steadily forging
ahead.
According to figures compiled
at the postoffice by Acting Post
master w. F. Long, Jr., tor the
quarter ending June 3lst, the
postal clearance amounted to
$3618.34, as compared with
$3375.89 to same period last year
$3562.33 to same period 1920, and
S3376.15 to same period 1919 1.-THE
three cent stamp was in force IN
this 1919 period, too)
The above increase in postal
business is quite gratifying, ano
the PosT-DIsPATCH is only toe
happy to chronicle this bit o.
business information as to what
this growing town is doing.
