THE CAT

The cats a %four-legged quadruped,
Not countin' in his tail.
The missus is the tabby cat,
And Thomas is the male.
The cat it is carnivorous,
Although to milk inclinin',
1t makes a hump out of its back,
And whiskers it looks fine in.
No home should be without the cat,
Especially where there's mouses.
1t never goes away, the cat,
But stays just where the house is.

EPOCHAL EVENT IS
RECALLED BY SOME
Cornerstone Laying at First
Oxford Orphanage Build
ing Recalled

An epochal event in connection
with the founding of the Oxford Or
phanage is recalled in a recent ar
ticle in the Orphans Friend, publish
ed at the. orphanage. It involves an
cestors of w. I. Claiborne, merchant
and farmer of the Oxford road, and
the following interesting story IS
told:
June "a, 1855, was an important day
in the annuls of Masonry and a
proud one in the life of the late Bro
Their A. Barker. This was the day
when the Grand Lodge, presided over
by Most Worshipful P. A. Holt, laid
the cornerstone of "Old st. John Col
lege" building, now called the Main
Building. It was also the day when
Brother Barker bore the Bible in the
procession during the ceremonies
The event is wildly called to mind
by visit from descendants of Brothe:
Barker few days ago. Brother w. T.
Claiborne, grandson, and Mrs. James
P. Lanier and Mrs. w. P. Murray, Of
Newbern, Tenn, grand daughters
(nieces of Brother Claiborne), with
their children of the fourth genera
ton, were vastly interested in the
Orphanage, as were Mr.. LAnier and
Mrs Murray who were members Of
the party.
Brother Claiborne, resident of
Vance County for the past "a years.
was raised in Tennessee. He recalls
that shortly after the War Between
the States his father and mother car
ried him to the adopted State. The
elder Claiborne entered the war as g.
private and came out with First
Lieutenant's commission. He fought
under Lee and was with him at APP
pomattox. His schooling was receiv-
ed under the late James c. Horner,
at the Horner Military School.
It was two years after the surren-
der that the Claibornes went to Ten
nessee. The father drove two blind
horses blind ones being chosen pur-
posely because blind animas would
less likely be obstreperous along the
difficult travel to west Tennessee,
which took eight weeks to negotiate.
Brother Murray is an Entered APP
prentice in the lodge at NewIern,
Tennessee. Though in small COM
munity this lodge has over two hun
dred members and is active Brother
Murray has had the opportunity TO
get his remaining degrees before be-
ginning his vacation, but wisely post
poned them till he gets back on the
job SO that he can then better digest
what is being taught along the way

morrow once at his former church

EASTERN TOBACCO
SEASON TO START
Sales Begin Next Thursday
After Tuesday Opening
Is Denied

Opening of the selling season IN
flue-c1red leaf markets moves fur
Their north with the start of the to-
hacco auctions in the Eastern North
Carolina Belt next Thursday, and
business people and growers alike are
turning their eyes to that section as
g further cue as to prices that may
be expected when the Middle Belt
gets under way on September ID
Feverish efforts launched early this
week to set the sales forward two or
three days to Monday or Tuesday OF
next week fell through, as was ex-
pected, and the opening OF the pelt
will begin as scheduled at the con-
vention of the Tobacco Association OF
the United States at White Sulphur
Springs, W. Va, late in June. NO ef-
fort has been made since that time
to omen Middle Belt or Old Bel
markets earlier than the dates liked
at the convention.
Many tobacconists from here who
are not already OH southern markets,
and many business men as well Will
attend the Eastern Carolina open
ings. since they are nearer at home.
Flue-cured leaf grown in that Secuon
is nearest of any like the choice
grades produced in this section, and
prices paid in the least will be much
more like those in this section.
The move for speeding up the east.
ern opening originated in Wilson.
from which point George L. Morgan,
Wilson city alderman, and I. H.
Woodward, a Wilson county commits
sioner, telegraphed Ralph Garrett,
North Carolina chairman of the to-
bacco associations sales committee,
asking for an early start in sales.
Their appeal estimated that 10000
financially distressed farmers are
now ready to market their crop with
no available market" They also point
ed to thousands of needy idle Ia
borers" who are awaiting jobs in to-
bacco factories after sales start.
The appeal went unheeded, and the
Eastern North Carolina markets will
open on the date originally designat-
ed, August 25.

HEALTH DEPT. ASKS
FOR MORE MONEY
Additional $500 Over Last
Years Budget Needed to
Match State Funds

The Vance County Board of Health,
at meeting yesterday afternoon, re-
quested the Board of County Commits
sioners to appropriate an additional
$500 for the health department for
the coming year, to meet state and
federal funds for health work.
The commissioners did not cut the
amount appropriated to the health
department last year, giving that
group the same, but the state health
department has asked that the addi-
tional be granted to match funds COM
ing from the state and government.
The sum being sought this year
is $500 over what was granted a year
ago.
DR.. A. D. Gregg, county health Of
ficer, issued the following statement
today, clarifying the request for addi~
tional funds:
"From some remarks and ques-
tons heard this morning we fear that
some misunderstood the news article
in the "Dispatch", of few days ago
regarding the Budget of the Health
Department"
II wish to make it clear that the
County Commissioners did not reduce
the allotment to the County Health
Department below the allotment made
last year. The $4,000 asked for is
an increase over last years allotment.
A part of this increase was carried
over from last year and protected in
last years Budget by a surplus from
the unused dental clinic In other
words this present condition would
have come up last year when the
county was asked for an increase OF
$456 90 to cover the withdrawal Of

FIX CITY TAX RATE
ON MONDAY NIGHT
Council Also to Adopt Bud
get for Coming Year;
Lower Levy Seen

The City of Henderson budget for
1889 will be adopted and the tax
rate for the fiscal year will be fixed
by the City Council next Monday
evening at it's regular monthly meet
ing. The budget was introduced at the
July meeting and has been on file
since then in the city clerks office fol-
inspection by any interested persons.
The budget is expected to be adopt
ed in much the same form in which
it was offered month ago. There is
a prospect that the tax rate may be
reduced anywhere from five to fiji
teen cents on the $100 valuation. Dur
ing the past fiscal year the levy was
S1.75. one of the highest in the clty'a
history. It is considered certain there
will be a reduction of some proper
ton, but just how much could not
be learned today.
Other than the adoption of the bud
get and the fixing of the tax rate,
business to be transacted appeared to
be of a routine nature. 1t was not con-

Candid Camera Pictures Interior of the
Stomach and Other Cavities of the Body

"Tiny cameras which can be
swallowed by the patient and which
carry their own Illuminating system
have been used for photographing
the interior of the stomach" Wal
ter E. Burton discloses in his arti-
Gle, "X-Rays: A Way to Better
Health Through Photography" in
Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
Similar methods may be en-
ployed for making interior views of
other body cavities. Furthermore,
other methods have been worked
out so that movies can be made
of the vocal cords, the interior of
the bladder, of the ear drum and
other portions of the body.
Other startling innovations have
been recently introduced in the field
of photography that will greatly
further medical research. Among
them are actual color photographs
of the interior of the eye, showing
the optic nerve ending, blood YES
sells and other details. The pictures
were taken through the crystalline
lens and pupil of the eye, the pupil
being dilated by drugs in order to
provide greater working area.
Infra-red photography has the
ability to penetrate the skin and
show details ordinarily invisible.
While an ordinary photograph
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-08-04

shows only surface details, the in
fra-red picture makes the subcu-
taneous veins stand out almost as
clearly as if they were on the sur
face.
Infra-red waves penetrate the
deepest pigment. A negro. photo
graphed with them, appears white,
and although he may seem smooth
shaven, he is seen to have distinct
beard, because the roots of the
hairs in his face show.
Motion pictures have been made
that showsthe course of blood flow
ing through an artery into a capil-
larry, cancer cells that move and
drink, and blood cells that devour
bacteria and other harmful matter.
Time-lapse photography was EN-.
ployed in filming the actions OF
these cells; that is, the exposures
were made at such intervals that,
when the film is projected at normal
speed, movements of the cells are
stepped up 40 times or more.
