ILLNESS GETS TWO
POLITICAL LEADERS
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
Ea tho Sir Walter HOtc

Raleigh, Jan. 4.-For the second
time in slightly more than year ill
ness has hit two of the States poll
teal bigwigs- Folger and Ralph
w. Mcdonald, almost simultaneously
After the hot gubernatorial pri-
maries of 1886, the popular Lon was
first to feel the hand of fate, going to
a hospital Immediately after his ia
vorite, Sandy Graham, was eliminated
in the first primary. Not long after
the second primary Dr. Mcdonald was
discovered to have a tubercular lnfec-
ton and was put to bed in Win
ston-Salem hospital.
Folger made reasonably rapid re-
covery from his first illness, became
Democratic national committeeman
and when Frank Hancock entered the
senatorial race, Lon tossed his. hat in
to the fifth district congressional
ring. Mcdonald, meanwhile, seemed
we'll on the road to recovery.
Then, less than two weeks ago, the
Forsyth professor and vote-getter suf
fered a relapse which unofficial sour
ces say is much more serious than
has been given general publicity. APP
parently reliable sources, not officially
confirmed, report that one of DR.. Nc
Donald's lungs developed a much
more serious infection and that an
emergency operation to collapse the
lung was necessary. For time, it is
said, it was touch and go whether
he would survive and even now he
faces the prospect of a minimum O.
eighteen months more in the hos
pital.
Then within the lasc week Folge-c
has been stricken with pneumonia.
Some days ago he attended the fun
eral of a friend and, on returning to
Mt. Airy complained of feeling i'll. He
walked into the hospital, asked to be
looked over and has been flat on his
back ever since.

wired his best wishes for a speedy re-

ARMED GUARD IN TIJUANA TODAY
They Are Trying to Bring Peace Where Riots Did
 Damage Yesterday

Tijuana, Mexico, Feb. 16-(UP)- Army authorities mobilized 200 men of the Agrarian party guard today to help enforce peace at this border town, where public buildings were burned and two boys and a man were killed yesterday when a mob of ], 300 tried to lynch soldier who confessed murdering a child.
 Fifty soldiers patroled the town. Others defended the stone military barracks where the killer was held. He had assaulted an 8-year-old girl and murdered her in a garage be- hind the army barracks, he con- feSSed.
 Border Closed
 The border, closed yesterday dur ing the tumult, was reopened to- day and many curiosity seekers from the United States came to view the ruins of the police station and the block-long federal building. Fourteen were injured during the fighting.
 Army officials stationed sharp shooters on tops of buildings. The arsenal was opened the rifles and pistols were passed out to the Agrar- ians, who form a semi-politico mili- tia available in emergencies. There are 50 soldiers regularly stationed here and 30 came late yesterday from Ensendaa as endorsements.
 There was no martial law, but knots of citizens were broken up as fast as they formed on the streets. Residents were advised to remain in their homes.

RiUal Irish American St. Patrick's Day Celebrations Confusing Members, Friends
Claimants of Original Club Title 10 Gather on
 March "

The confusion has been natural. what with the two factions, operat- ing under similar name. and plan ming functions at the same locality. The only features by which an or dinary observer might differentiate between the two, are the dates, which are easily confused, and the names of the speakers.
 Arthur J. Lunny is general chair man of the committee arranging the original groups celebration. He is assisted by James A. Phelan, who is chairman of the banquet committee: John J. Reidy, chairman of the ticket committee; and Frank J. Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the recep- ton committee. Lester Brennan IS secretary of the banquet committee.
 President George T. Ryan is chair man of the committee in charge of the dinner-dance which his group of the Irish-American Club will sponsor on March IT at The Elton. Dr. John D. Freney is chairman Of the reception committee; Mortimer J. Calvin is chairman of the ticket committee. Others on the general committee are Roger Connor, Attor- ney John F. McLinden, Harold Boyce, G. L. Lonergan, Michael Cog gins and c. J. Daly.
 Both affairs give promise of being well attended, according to reports from committees who are very con- fident of success for their individu- al projects.

Revenues For
State Larger
During Month
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleioh. Aug. 16.-North Carolina's
reven1.e collections for the first ten
davs of August make Commissioner
of Revenue A. ]. Maxwell look like a
very good prophet.
For the period revenue division re-
ceipts have jumped nearly half a
million dollars over receipts for the
corresponding period of 1887, with the
figures $2,O79,339.92 to $1,556,321 20.
At the end of July, when figures
for the first month of the new fiscal
wear showed such a drastic decline
in tax receipts from July of last year,
Mr.. Maxwell refused to lose his optim-
ism and flatly said that the decrease
was more apparent than real.
He pointed, in particular, to the
franchise tax revenues and said thai
these would show a decided increase
during August. Report of. collections
for the first ten days bear him out
with remarkable accuracy.
For the period this years collec-
tions for the franchise levies were ST.,
795.541.77, against $1,2S1, 947.04 for the
like period of 1887.
Ear.y August sales tax revenues
were slightly above those for the first
ten days of last August, $110,790.46 to
S102 ,65S. "a, but bulk of revenue from
this source never begins to come III
until after the fifteenth of any month
and so little is indicated by these re-
turns.
On the Highway Division side Of
not sufficient data for the first ten
days to make any real estimates or
comparisons. Gasoline taxes, always
biggest single item in either revenue
or highway divisions, amounted to
less than $4,000 for the first ten
August days, but this meant nothing
at all except that the oil companies
will pay them later in the month.
