Daytona Beach, Fla, March 'H- P).-Time ana tide wait for no man, and that goes for horses, too.
 The time for my vacation to end came just at the time the tide was right for Greyhound, worlds great est trotter, to test the sands of Daytona Beach as a track for a try at the worlds straightaway record.
 So the two of us met there on the beach, Greyhound in the same old coat he was wearing when last saw him in Goshen few years ago. and in the same old coat I wore to that running of the Hamble- tonian.
 It was nice to see Greyhound again after four years. He is the only thing have seen after four years who didn't look me over care fully and say: My, you've put on a lot of weight, haven't you?" Gr,y- hound paid no attention to my 180 pounds nor I to his 960.
 Likes the Ocean
 In fact, Greyhound paid little att tion to anything except the ocean. He had the same look on his face that. Balboa must have had when he suddenly stumbled onto the Pacific.
 Kentucky born and Indiana raised. the seven -year-old trotter made 1t plain that the Wabash by moon light and the smell of new nown hay had not prepared nlm for the boom- ing of waves and the shriekinp Of sea gulls.
 It was with much reluctance that Greyhound pulled his racing sulky and driver, Sep Palin. out on the beach. During all his workouts down the beach he kept one eye sus- piciously cast toward the ocean, and kept swinging toward the dunes, away from the waves.
 Palin, who has driven Greyhound to all his records, believes that the big fellow can do a mile in l:60 or better on the straightaway, and he feels that when the horse becomes accustomed to the ocean the beach , is the place for him to do It, Grey hound, said by all the experts to be the greatest trottor ever in har- ness. has done mile in 1:55 Is, and that on mile track with turns. Palin figures the curves cost him five seconds.
 Exceptional
 A lot of horse, Greyhound. Pur- chased by E. J. Baker. heir of Bet d Million" Gates for $90O as a year. ling, he has done things that. few believed possible for trotter, Blessed with loose motion and great stride (he covers better than 32 feet at one stride when going all out) he has been ciocked in ]" and Il-2 seconds for an eight of nqile, which is running horse time, and good running horse time, too.

 Idea Of Heaven


 Through all his years he is going to be the eternal rookie, always try ing and always falling. But most of us who know him hope that when he arrives in the happy land where games are never rained out and there are no sore arms he will realize his hearts desire. It would be swell if they could arrange it up there to engrave box score on tablets of stone for all men to read "a box score that wold tell how he tripled off Mathewson with the bases loaded and famed Cobb in the clutch in a ball game that goes on forever.

Warning Made
On Diphtheria
Vaccinations

A warning was issued by the
Vance county Health Department
today to all parents 10 nave their
children vaccinated against diph-
iberia on or before January l, 1910,
when a new State law enacted by
the last legislature becomes effec-
tive, making u mandatory mat Ger
tain within prescribed ages be given
the immuniZatiOn treatment.
The statement called attention 10
the fact that, while the treatment is
given by the health department, the
law does not impose upon that
agency the duty of making a per-
the toXid. The appeal was issued
TO Doth white and color citizens.
1t was stated that 'all children
of INDECENT parents will be treated
by the health department if brought
to the office. 1t was explained
that the treatment is practically
painless, except Tor a few minutes
after the serum is given. The ser
vice is offered as a means of rid
ding the State of dipntheria, SO iar
as possible.
The health department is giving
the diphtheria serum along with its
other work, including typhoid
serum, smallpox vaccine and the
like.
The statement from the health
department follows in full:
''The new law requiring children
- L. IL,
by January l, 1910, does not appoint
the health department to do this
work, and so we cannot for lack Of
time make personal canvass TO
find those needing the toxid. But
because I'VE are interested in the
health of your child, and because
we do not wish you to get into
trouble With the Law Of the State,
we are again appealing to you, both
white and colored, TO have all chill
dren over seven months Of age vac
cinated against dipntheria.
''This is practically painless to the
child except for very few moments
after the dose is given. Take your
children TO your family doctor; if
he does not have the toXid he can
get it from our office, or he can re-
fer you to our office :or treatment
"This disease diphtheria, or mem
branous Group, is a killer Of young
children, and our State legislature
has seen lit to prevent these use
less deaths, or the neglectful par
ents be punished for not protecting
their children.
Cali children of INDECENT parents
will be treated by the health de-
partment if brought to the office"

Burgess Sees
Tide Turning
To Dry Side

In form letter received mere to-
day, Gale <. Burgess, Of Raleigh,
president of the United Dry Forces
of North Carolina, said he believed
complete victory is within our
grasp if we will keep liquor stores
out of Buncombe and thereby keep
them out of Western North Carolina,
and thereby add momentum 10 the
pendulum's swing in our direction"
Buncombe votes next week on
whether or not to establish county
liquor stores, and Burgess said in
his letter that 1--WE must win this
victory and elect General Assem-
bly, that will re-establish prohibition
and enact laws to improve its en-
forcement" He added that ''the
moment has arrived for us to make
this supreme effort to electrify the
minds of our people with hits sue
cess psychology, and thereby rally
North Carolina into mighty cru
SADIE to wipe out the curse of the
liquor traffic, both legal and il
legal"
The letter breathed satisfaction
over the calling off of the liquor

claring that the campaign of the
drys in Swain gained such momen-
tum that the vets could not recruit
any public leadership, and finally
the county board of commissioners
and board of elections met in special
session and called off the election" !"
Burgess said application of this
same idea can re-establish prohibi-
ton throughout North Carolina, y
adding that eff we can redouble our
efforts in Buncombe county and
thereby win in that county, do not
believe the vets will call any other
elections"
The letter reviewed the series Of
elections on county liquor stores
since 1887, saying votes have been
had in % counties and all but eight
remained dry. Burgess said he had
"given in time, money and otherwise
more than $4,000" to the dry cause
in the last seven years, and appealed
for cash contributions to help fl

the country. He said passengers on
railroad trains were really safer than
in their own homes.
Mr.. Sexton cited the fact that n
1888 there was not single stream
line passenger train in existence. To-
day there are nearly 100, some OF
which operate over the Seaboard In
1888, he said, there were about forty
aforementioned passenger cars, Pull
mans, sleepers and the like. Today
there are 100000 of them, and they
operate over $4,000 miles of road
daily He said the service would be
still further improved. Instead of the
old speed, trains now are operated
on main lines at from so to 100 miles
an hour in perfect safety. Employees
were given a full share of credit for
this accomplishment.
The meeting embraced large Sec
