SOUTHWEST COUNTIES SAFE
GUARDING SPRINGS.
Protecting Water Supplies in Noun
tain Districts Presents Difficult
ties Not Found in Tldewater.

Richmond May 15-In Carroll, GRAY
son Roanoke Pulaski and Smyth coun
tie'. the rural sanitation bureau OF
the State Board of Health is cooperat-
ing with local health authorities in
putting over campaign for the pro
lection of the springs. from which
th, people get their drinking water.
Safeguarding these supplies is a fa:
more difficult problem than is the pro
lection of wells in the eastern, or tide
water, section of Virginia
In tire fat country, the vt major
ity Of rural homes get wafer from
wells, either deep or shallow; and.
where there are springs, it is rare
th"t more than one family gets its
supply from the same source. To the
contrary, in the mountain sections one
spring may supply neighborhood.
Consequently the protection of that
s2' ing becomes a matter of greater
moment.
most of the springs furnish naturally
pure water. They are not apt to be af
.ec,ed by underground contamination
and the chief means employed to make
them safe is to cover them in such a
way tudI SuIldCepOllullOn Is lHlpOSS1
BILE. 1t is different in the mountains
There surfuce roilution gets into the
broken limestone strata and without
the purification that comes through
soil seepage it gets into the streams
chat supply the springs.
So the mountain problem has to l.,
clude the double protection The
springs must be protected at their ou.
lets and their sources. The former is
comparatively easy; the latter is more
difficult amt sometimes more costly
Where the strata is broken as
in limestone districts, the protection of
the sources frequently includes the
removal Of neighboring privies to dis
tance from the limestone ledge
The five counties intlre present pro
gram are moi letting these obstacles
stand in the way of. success. Report:
Indicate that virtually every spring in
Carroll, Grayson, Roanoke. Pulaski
and Smyth will be made safe before
the end of the coming summer.

South Africa is the Statement made by
DR.. James Henderson, noted English
Educator from South Africa, who is

Greensboro, N. c. May 24.-"Don't
let anybody fool you into believing
that the Negroes are not leaving the

agent here. The Negro exodus from

actually shown to be of larger proper

facts, the accuracy of which cannot be
successfully controverted. Greensboro

that matter the gateway for the north

ride in large numbers and there arr

"The steel mills of Pittsburgh ann

INDIANA GOVERNOR
IN FINANCIAL STRAITS
McCray, Caught in Farm Slump,
Calls Meeting of His Creditors,
limiting at "BIackmail."

Indianapolis. = Governor Warren T.
McCray, operator of one of the largest
farming projects in Indiana, admitted
financial difficulties in his personal at
fairs and issued a call for meeting
of his creditors. Appointment of
creditors committee to administer the
Governors assets is expected.
The Governor declared that with
fair liquidation he could pay dollar
for dollar to every creditor. He ex
pressed the opinion that he was the
victim Of the general economic condi-
lions affecting agriculture and the
pure-bred livestock industry" His
condition has been aggravated he
added, by his subordinating personal
interests to those of the State.
With the announcement of his fnan-
cial embarrassment came the news
that the Governor had resigned the
presidency of the Discount and De-
posit Savings Bank of Kentland, Ind,
an institution established by his father
in 1874 and administered since that
time by members of the McCray fami-
iy. He has been succeeded by Judge.
William Darrach.
The Ken land Bank is financially
firm, according to L. V. Dodson, vics
president Confirm alton of this state
ment was given at the State Banking
Department
In advance Of the creditors meeting
no trustworthy estimate as to the Gov
ernor's liabilities was obtainable He
set forth in his statement that his land
holdings amounted to $4,000 acres OF
choice farm land, while 100000 was
due him from purchases of cattle.
Governor McCray was seen in the
Office of his attorney, James w. Noel.
The Governor was immersed in long
lists of figures and looked worried. He
spoke forcefully of "blackmair on the
part of his political enemies and de-
clared that he would make men pay
for unfounded statements concerning
his financial dealings.
