AND MOSQUITOES
Greensboro School Children Aid
In Campaign

GREENSBORO, Ala, April b.
Especial. Mrs. Spot Williams, az
chairman of the committee, aided by
Mrs. Edward Sledge, has put on a
most effective campaign against flies
and mosquitoes in Greensboro. First,
the children of the public school car
ried around pledge cards, which all
householders were asked to sign. Next,
the school children carried home a
'dodger," reminding the home people to
clean all stables, burn all rubbish, oil
all stagnant water, if they would avoid
typhoid fever, colitis and all kindred
diseases, carried by the fly and the
mosquito.
Hospital Planned-Plans are well
under way to establish a thoroughly up-.
to-date hospital in Greensboro at an
early day. The brick house used for
the presidents home during the days
of the Southern university is to be
fitted up for this hospital.
Farmers Hurt.-Repeated rains last
week, followed by an unusually heavy
rain Monday, have about put the farm
er out of business.
Bishop Coming-Bishop Beckwiths
will be in Greensboro Easter Sunday,
and will hold service in the morning
at II o'clock at st. Pauls, assisting
the children's festival in the afternoon.
Delegate Named-T. r. Ward, an
elder in the Presbyterian church in
Greensboro, was elected as delegate to
the general assembly, which meets in
San Antonio, Tex, at a. recent meeting
of the Tuscaloosa Presbytery.

Five days before the convention,
Hanna had lined up $50 votes for Nc
Kiniey, despite what was termed the
"Platt- Reed Quay Allison Free Coin

Reed Of Maine had the support of the
