History Attached
!. To n. Cornforth's
Frontiers Attire

There is quite a bit Of history
attached to the suit being worn by
H. r. Cornforth during Frontier
Nights.
On March "a, 1889 H. r. Corn
forth was onboard an excursion
boat on Lake Chapala, Mexico, with
about 1875 other persons. On the re-
turn trip the crowd on the upper
deck we're dancing and as the boat
was of the flat bottom variety, the
motion caused the. boat to caps1ze
in about 18 feet Of water.
Being a good swimmer, Mr.. Corn
forth was able to get boards that
came off the steamer and keep the
people afloat until they could safe
-ly get ashore. Twenty nine were
drowned.
Mr.. Cornforth rescued about Il
people and in token Of appreciation
of what he had done, Governor Cor
ona of Jalisco presented him with
a silver medal and diploma. For
this presentation occasion Mr.. Corn
forth bought the evening clothes
and tall silk hat that he is wear
ing for the Frontier Nights cele-
bration, and afterwards was mar
ried in the same suit.

TIME NOW TO GIVE
D|PHTHER|A SERUM
Takes Several Months for
Complete Immunity to
Become Certain

Spring and early summer is the
time when children who are not
known to be protected against diph-
| liberia should be given inlmunizatlon
| treatment. This is the advice of the
division Of preventive medicine of the
State Board of Health, in one of its
recent bulletins.
The reason given is that the great
est number of cases occur in the fan
months, usually reaching the peak in
October and November, and that it
takes from one to four months, pro-
badly longer, to establish immunity
after the treatment is given. In other
words, children who are going to en-
ter school next year and who have not
already been vaccinated against diph-
liberia should be vaccinated this
spring to allow time for the protective
SUI stances to develop.
Diphtheria control is still a problem
in North Carolina, says the State
Health Bulletin. Last year there were
1920 cases of the disease and 1853
deaths. And yet enough is known
about the disease to bring it under
safe control and to prevent a single
death. ImmuniZatiOn of children be-
tween the ages of six months and six
years is the means of control AS chill
dren become susceptible to the dis
ease about the age Of six months, and
as the most dangerous period of their
lives as far as diphtheria is concerned
is from six months to four years old,
every baby should be vaccinated on
becoming six months old or about the
time it cuts it's first teeth. The pre-
school clinic is practically too late for
safety, but if a child reaches school
age without being immunized to diph-
liberia he should be vaccinated before
starting to school,,
Person county is cited in the Bull
letin as an example of a rural county
that is making definite Roadway in
the control of diphtheria. For the past
five years Mrs. Ruth OBriant, public
health nurse, has paid special atten-
ton to the immunization of the coun-
TVS children against diphtheria. This
has been no small task as the popula-
ton of the county is almost altogether
rural. The results are, SO per cent OF
the present population has been inn
munized and the case rate has been
reduced as much as So per cent of
that of neighboring county of SINH
lar population.

CLEVELAND AYSCUE
HELD FOR COURT
Investigated On Charges of
Burning Stables at Wife's
Farm Recently

Cleveland Ayscue is being held in
Vance county jaih in default of $1,000
bond for investigation Of charges of
burning stable and barn at the farm
of his wife, the5aformer Mrs. E. l..
Farmer, a few miles north of the
city.
constable E. F. Murphy made the
arrest and is conducting the investion
of the charge.
According to Constable Murphy,
Ayscues wife had been to the barns,
locked the stock within and had re-
turned to the house. She noticed
them burning shortly thereafter and
rushed out to save the stock. She
found that a horse she had locked in
had been liberated, and she managed
to save her cow, the only other ami
NAL in the building at the time.
Constable Murphy stated that Ays-
cue had previously threatened to
burn the structure, and he was of the
opinion that Ayscue became angry
because his wife would not pay him
'out of convictions recently in re-
corder's court, and fired the barns
in retaliation.
Ayscue will be arraigned for trial
as soon as the officer completes his
investigation.

z BARELY ESCAPE
DEATH IN CRASH
Box Car Backed Off Siding
Into Spring Street On /
Top of Truck

Two men narrowly escaped being
killed or seriously injured this morn
ing shortly before 9 o'clock when q
Southern freight train backed box
car over an embankment, into Spring
street and on top of the truck in
which they were riding.
Leland Boyd of WILLIAMSBURG, and
Fred Brame, Negro, driver and own
ell of the truck, were preparing to
carry their load of wood to a wood
yard nearby when the crash occurred.
Both were in the cab, Brame getting
out just as the crash took place. Boyd
was pinned within.
The box car was pushed all the way
across the street, ramming the truck
against pole and curb on the far
side of the street and very near
Sprinkle Service Station.
Brame had to extricate Boyd from
the truck after it had been pushed all
the way across the street. Spring
street was blocked by the smash-up
Many people who viewed the acci-
dent marvelled how the men came out
alive. Neither of them was hurt.
The railroad had erected stops at
the end of the siding, which is just
in front of the Southern passenger
station, but the car smashed those
and continued it's wild plunge into the
street -. Il.

School Law Kept Schools

would have been closed but for the
action of the 1888 General Assembly
in enacting the eight months school
plan and the sales tax to support it,
Day said "The legislature was forced
to adopt the sales tax because all 9TH
er sources of taxation were either dry
ing up, disappearing or had disap-
peared entirely ard that the sales tax
was virtually the only tax which
could be depended upon to yield
enough revenue. to assure the opera
ton of the schools
Representative Day was the intro
Queer of the first sales tax bill in the
1881 General Assembly, which was
supported so strongly by Josephus
Daniels and The News and Observer
here, although The News and Obser-
yer was regarded as being one of the
strongest supporters of DR.. Ralph w
Mcdonald and his fforts to repeal the
sales tax in the 1885 General Assem-
bly,.
Il readily admit that sales taxes
are nuisance taxes" Day continued
But sales taxes are subject to one
great and, in our present emergency
all-saving virtue. They are necessary
to the continuance of our schools and
loudly demanded agencies Of govern
ment, because they do yield needed
revenue in collectable form.
without further argument, I am
going to lay down proposition which
1 am willing to see tested out before
the court of trial and errors and of
public opinion. It is this: That so long
as North Carolina demands public
schools, without resort to property
taxes and according to the present
plan of constitutional uniformity Of
length of term; SO long as the State
retains the present constitutional Ii
NIT of six per cent on income taxes,
that sales taxes of some form are in
dispensible and compulsory and will
continue to he levied in one form or
another by every succeeding admin
istration that seriously tries to main
tain an efficient standard of service
for the schools and other State
agencies.
IF it were not for the tragedy of
seeing the schools closed, of bad roads
and failure of performance in the
field of public health and the support
of our hospitals and institutions for
the helpless and unfortunate, I could
take some satisfaction in seeing our
State affairs turned over to those
vociferous and ambitious critics of
the present and previous administra-
lions who proclaim that everything
we have done so far is wrong and that
taxes can be so levied and collected
as to provide vastly increased expen-
ditures by State agencies But I know
from my experience in two sessions of
the general Assembly that this can
not be done, unless the people of the
State are willing to pay Statewide
property tax for the partial support
of the schools, as was done from 1881
to 1888.
"The 1885 legislature, rather than
see the schools closed and the other
necessary State activities curtailed,
decided to impose the sales tax as an
emergency measure and as the only
means of keeping these necessary SER
vices in operation. It was the only
thing it could do"
