The project calls for grading, sur

was bid on at $4S.7SO and the struc-

is only GA miles, which would fall

HEAVY RAIN HELPS
TOBACCO IN COUNTY
Deterioration Noted in Some
Instances Believed
Arrested

"A heavy rain accompanying a hard
electrical storm brought some relief
early Thursday evening to the pro-
tracted dry spell in this section. II
was what is known as a "gullev-
washer but there was enough rain
TO soak into parching ground for the
benefit of crops nearing full ma
turity.
Tobacco men said it was a big help
to growing weed. Much of the leaf
has been housed, but farmers were
being rushed at top speed to get in
the remainder before the hot sun
burned it too badly.
Other than this situation as re-
CARDS tobacco, there was no urgent
need. for the rain. 1t helped consider
ably, especially as regards late vege-
tables, but cotton was not in parti-
cular need of additional moisture.
The atmosphere was greatly cooled
by the rain, and there was relief from
the torrid temperatures that have
persisted all week.
There was feeling among older
weather observers that perhaps this
rain had broken what might prove to
be the last severely hot season of the
summer. The fall is definitely on the
way, and autumn weather is expected
to prevail for the most part from
now on.

D|PHTHER|A WORK
WILL Be STARTED
Health Department To Be-
gin Treatment of Chill
dren at Opening

Tests to determine the susceptibility
of children to diphtheria will be start
ed in the public schools of the city
and county very soon after the COM
ing term opens, DR.. z. P. Mitchell,
health officer, announced today. The
work will be directed largely to the
smaller children, and particularly is
1T desired to give the treatment to
the first-year pupils who have not
heretofore had it.
The treatment includes the Schick
test, which indicates the degree or
immunity of a child to the disease.
The program is carried on each fall
in the schools by the health depart
:nent.
The State Board of Health has
strongly advised in favor of immuni-
zation of all children against diph-
iberia. DR.. j. G. Knox, director of the
division of epidemiology of the board,
said that the State is not making the
progress toward diphtheria control
that it should, declaring that every
death occurring in the State this year
from diphtheria will be a shameful
disgrace. In many respects it will be
an indictment against parents and
guardians if they fail to give their
children the treatment that Is known
to insure them against this most fatal
disease"
The State board urges that parents
of children that have never had the
treatment visit the health department
before school starts and have the tests
made and the treatment given, where
found necessary. Every child from
school age down to the six-months-
old baby should be given the treat
ment, the State expert advises. The
death rate in North Carolina in diph-
liberia is AT DR.. Knox says North
Carolina can achieve as low a rate
of deaths from this disease as any
state, whereas at present the State
is tagging well down the list.
