Weather Threat
To 'Graw Races
BY PADDOCK

HAVRE DE GRACE RACE
TRACK, Md, Sept. 18.-Threat-
ening weather prevailed here to-
day for the opening of the Mary
land fall racing season. A howl
ing wind swept across the race
course and overhead dark clouds
promise to break loose any
minute.
At scratch time this morning
only four had declined the issue
in the Susquehanna Handicap,
the opening day feature over the
Six-furlong route. While Elwood
Sachsenmaier's black colt, Roman
Soldier, still ruled the favorite,
a change in track conditions may
give the honor to Howard Bruce's
Jay Jay, one that won the In
augural Handicap here last spring
over a heavy course. Edward
Burners Aneroid, that defeated
the best sprinters around New
England before arriving here. will
also come in for considerable back,
ing. Several Western invaders
such as Anthony Pelleteri's
Whereaway and Mrs. Emil Dene-
marks Top Dog may receive a
heavy play in the mutuel ma
chimes.
Race fans who care to wager
on the daily double will find the
system again in vogue here. Man
ager Edward Burke announced
that the double will be on the
first and third races and that
the windows will shut down
promptly at 2 p, m.

TELLS HOW WHEN AND WHO CONTRACT THE
 SCARLET FEVER

In connection with ef- forts to prevent scarlet fev- CT getting a foothold in Nome, the Nome Daily Mug get asked Dr. Wm. C. Char teris, in a special interview to give a short descriptive account of some of it's sym toms, effects and who are most susceptible to contract ing it, and in what manner.
 Following is his account:
 Scarlet fever is an acute infectious disease character ized by a sore throat and a rash on the skin and roof of the mouth, followed by shedding of the skin.
 "The susceptibility to as well as the severity of the disease varies with the per- sons age. It is essentially a disease of early childhood and is most easily contract ed end more severe in child ren under three years of age.
 The disease is transmit ted by direct contact with the discharges of the nose and throat of an infected person or through some ob- ject which the infected per- son has contaminated with these discharges. Epidem- ics seldom occur except during the school months. Not all persons exposed contract the disease; some are naturally immune and one attack of the disease confers a lasting immunity.
 "The disease follows an exposure to a case of scar let fever in from one to eleven days-usually in from two to five days. The onset of scarlet fever is abrupt. The child may go to school perfectly well and in the midst of a class become suddenly i'll with nausea, vomiting, fever, and sore throat. The rash appears about twenty-four hours later-first on the back of the neck and on the cheSt-from where it rap- idly spreads to the rest of the body.
 Within a week after be coming sick the child feels well enough so that it wants to be up again, but must be kept in bed because it is at this time that the more ser

 Washington, Jan. II, - Nine senate votes which made the presidents bonus veto stick last year, loom ed large in the eyes of con- ferees who seek concessions in the bill which swept through the House yester- day.
 With neither house in session, and the senate mu- nitions committees inquiry into war commerce off un- til Monday, attention cen- tered on the administra- tion effort 10 build a new farm program to replace the AAA, and speculations are rife over the senate ac- tion on the bonus.
 Senate leaders worked secretly to frame a substi- ute for the cash bonus measure. Administration leaders used the nine votes b force concessions to- ward a conservative bill.
 Ire finance committee is 10 meet Monday to consid- CT the bi.I. anu leaders look ed for Q recommendation 4or some hing less than a full cash payment. In op- position, bonus packers to- day struggled to work out a plan to win enough vot- eS to pass the bill over a veto, if such occurs.
 It was learned that Se- cretary of Agriculture Wal lace asked Howard R. Toll ey, soil conservation ex- pert, to hurry from the West coast to take part in a farm barley.
 The call for Tolley was considered to be significant because President Roose- welt, Wallace and AAA Ad- ministrator Chester Davis, are said to consider it ad- Visable to approach produc tion control through subsi- dized soil conservation.
 The farm session yester- day appointed a committee of thirteen to prepare and draft a new program.

Electricity
Turned ION In
Epson Region

Electric current is flowing today
into a section of Vance county that
has never had that form of modern
convlnces before, and patrons of the
new line in a rural identification
scheme for this county are delighted
with the service.
Service was made available to the
EPSON section last Wednesday night
for the first time, and some 4O-odd
customers are being furnished with
the Juice for their homes, rural
stores and other purposes.
The new line connects with the
main circuit of the Carolina Power
and Light Company at Bearpond, four
miles south of Henderson, and turns
eastward there through the Brum-
mitt and Gill sections, thence back to
Gillburg, on the Henderson-Epsom
highway, from which point it follows
the EPSON road, and goes over the
Vance-Franklin line at EPSON for two
miles further to the Wilson store and
residences. The line is to be extend
ed still further some four or five
miles eastward 10 Ingleside, and will
again cut back northward for a dis
lance of about one mile to furnish
customers in that territory. The
circuit as it has already been con-
structed is a distance of about eleven
miles, and will be Is to II miles when
the full length is completed.
d. l.. Cannon, manager of the Caro-
lima Power and Light Company, said
today a model electric kitchen, mount
ed on a truck, would be here Monday
and open for inspection in front of
the company's offices during the fore
noon, after which it would be taken
to the vicinity of the new electric line
to acquaint the people with the many
cOnveniences that are available to
them since current has been brought
to their homes.
Other rural lines are in cOntempla-
ton in this county, and the next few
months will probably see Vance cOun-
ty as we'll supplied with electric serv-
ice as any county in the State, with a
few exceptions, it is believed All of
the lines are being constructed
through the cooperation of rural
residents and the power company, it
is understood.

TOBACCO NOT HURT
BY RAINS OF WEEK
Growers Here Today Say
Crop Looking Fine In
Their Areas

Persistent rains during the past
week did not do any material damage
to the tobacco crop as a whole in this
county, and the crop today is 'look-
ing fine" according to a number of
farmers from different sections of
the county who were in the city to-
day Some of them said they belieV-
ed they would harvest a better quail
ity of leaf than they had last year.
And that is considered a genuine
achievement. in the wake of the high
w unfavorable seasons that marked
the early stages of the growing per-
iod
Rains fell steadily from late Wee
ncsday afternoon Friday morning, the
precipitation being approximately two
inches in the readings of the official
weather bureau observer here. 1t was
feared there would be too much rain,
tut it stopped in time, growers say.
The recovery of the tobacco crop,
when six weeks ago it appeared
tragically damaged by hot weather
and dryness, has been little short of
remarkable in this section, many OBJ
servers feel. Stands are little I'M
even. but nothing like so much so as
appeared unavoidable at one time
The crop is decidedly short, and esti-
mates put it at a fourth to third
less than 1885, but there is apparent
ly an abundance of good quality. In
view of the shOrtness of the flue-
cured crop in other belts, together
with the increasing demand, this is
expected to cause growers in this
territory to reap rich returns from
their 1896 tobacco yields. Nearly
every one now looks for prices well in
advance of 1885, many think they
will be about on a par with 1884, and
one or two predictions have been
made of prices that may serve as a
reminder of the postwar period.
Curing is now we'll under way in
the county, and growers say their
leaf is turning out fine quality.
