A new National Foundation for Infantle paralysis is be-
ing created. Its purpose, as stated by President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, is to lead, direct and unity the fight on
every phase of that dread disease, Infantile paralysis, which
has made such terrific progress for the past few years.
To achieve the purpose Of this worthy organization. the
National Foundation has o four-square program: Scientific
research, Epidemic First Aid, Proper Care, and Donations
to Orthopedic Centers, Hospitals and Clinics.
Thus by organization the extensive new Foundation will
resemble IN part that great organization for combating hui
man disaster, the Red Cross.
The new Foundation, however. will confine itself to avert
mig and curing infantie paralysis.
The birthday of President Roosevelt. January 90, will be
the day when entertainments will be gi9tn the coun.ry over
TO raise funds to support the purposes ct the Foundation.
Thousands OF balls, parties, shows and other events will
be given this year to raise money. Here in Holmes county
entertainments are being planned in almost every community.
We take tins opportunity of urging our readers to attend
one or more of these entertainments and help a most wor-
thy and charitable enterprise.
Whether it be a dance, a motion picture benefit. or a bas-
ketbal game, we should give thanks that our bodies are
sound and give generously so that those who do not enjoy the
same benefits eaa, kN made whole again. and SO that tho,s-
ands OF people can be saved from suffering this dread disease
which has taken such horrible toll of human lives.

Post Office
Receipts Pass SIS, 900
First Time for That
Month; Year Is ST.
900 Ahead

Receipts of the Henderson post Of
flee last month of $5,072.36 made it
one of the biggest Septembers in the
history of the office, according to
records on file. Postmaster J. r
league today announced the figure,
and said the months total was
S5S6.77 more than September last year
when the volume of business was 81
1859.
For the first nine months Of 1885,
total receipts of the office were S28,-
295.10, compared with S36,215.5I for
the corresponding period of 1887, or a
as;r 90 So n-o.59 thir vea~.
The post office thus ends three quar-
ters of the year with more than 3d.,
coo gain over q year ago, and with
the best quarter of the year still
ahead. If the present rate of gain IS
maintained until December 81, the Of
flee will set an all-tilne record hicc
for receipts, and will run the years
total close to $4,000. 1t was sorce-
thing over $4,000 for the calendar
year 1887.
The general belief and interrreta-
ton of the steady increase in postal
receipts here is that it marks grow
ing business in Henderson. Last year
was the biggest the Office eyer had
and present indications ar, that that
record will fall when the story is told
completely for the current year.

vided all other counties making like
GAINS would take the same course.
The commissioners formally adopt
ed a resolution multiplying previous
claims for some $4,000, contingent
upon the unanimity of the other
counties, whose total askings run well
over the half hundred millions of dol
lars. The board acted after hearing
appeals to that effect by T. Boddie
Ward, of Wilson, district highway
commissioner, and District Engineer
Markham, also of Wilson, who ap-
peared at a special session of the
board two weeks ago.
The commissioners unanimously re-
elected Miss Dorothea Woodlief as
county auditor for term of two
years. She was without opposition. It
was the regular time to elect the au-
ditor.
After hearing an appeal to that end
the board refused to admit Thomas
Owen to the Parker Sanatorium for
further treatment. Some weeks ago
Owen was discharged after engaging
in fight, which got into the courts.
The commissioners did authorize Mrs.
E. r. Austin, welfare superintendent,
to make some provision for his care
until he could be gotten into the State
Sanatorium in Hoke county.
September tax collections were re
ported to the commissioners by f.

$6,973.33. Back taxes of $1,4G0.45 were
also reported.

Last year when deer hunts were

the walls and complaints that come
out of the Palmetto state because it
was insisted that hunters from other
states purchase nonresident hunting
licenses, at a cost of $15.2a in order
to participate.
The South Carolinians maintained
that because the hunt was being. held
in a national forest, there should be
no requirement for a state hunting
license.

here that South Carolina is to have
some deer hunts this fall in the Fran
