It had units in Raleigh. I Durham, Washington. New Bern. Wil mington. Wadesboro. Monroe, Lenoir, j and Mooresville, with detachments , from Concord. Winston-Salem. Ka:. napolis and other towns. The regi ment was commanded by Coknel Al bert L. Cox, of Raleigh. The reunion this year will be the regiment's second get-together.

County Health Officer. county is thus left the sum of $10, 000. Ou as a surplus from last year. During the discussion. Col. With erspoon, County Attorney, explained that this tax money was about $22, 800.00, had been retained by the State Highway Commission, and not one cent had been received or expended I by the county, but that the expendi ture of this county gasoline tax mon ey, under the law, must be made un der state supervision. ; The Beaverdam route to Tennes see consists of about 30 miles of road, I which is graded all the way practi ; cally to the State line. It passes through a rich and fertile section of the county, and the news will no doubt be received by the peonle liv ing in the section which it passes through, with great rejoicing. So meritorious is the route that it was a strong contender for the State Route to Tennessee several years ago in competition with what is known as the Hothouse route, now State High way No. 28. It also affords a shorter and more direct route to Knoxville and it is believed by its sponsors that it will only be a question of a few years un til it becomes a part of the regular State System of Highways. Tennessee has already built her part of the highway up to the state line, at Unicoi Gap, it is understood, [and is now waiting for North Caroli na to complete its end. By the State taking the route over as a secondary state system, this assures its early completion to the Tennessee line. 8 More Applications For Markers Sent Out by U. D.

Payne, of Tennessee, and others. made an astounding: raid on whiskey stills in the lower part or* the county, near the North Carolina Tennessee line. One large still was captured on the North Carolina side, the contents of which was around 125 gallons. 300 gallons of beer, as well a> other equipment and supplies was also des troyed a: this place. The officers then proceeded to a point near Buck Berry, where they confiscated 600 gallons of beer, and another large still, which was esti mated to hold about 100 gallons. This still was found near the home of Lu ther Murphy. From there. Deputy M. P. Cole man led a posse to the head of Telico river, where they captured a quanti ty of whiskey near the Tennessee line. We consider this one of the best raids, and one of the hardest blows dealt on the liquor traffic of this county in some time. Such blows like these are the ones that count, and are the kinds that will tend to curb the flow of moonshine in this county. It is the firm belief of the officers that these stills were operated by par tie? who live just across the Tennes see line, and who. it is believed, have assistance of men on the North Caro lina side. No arrests were made, as there were no one around. According: to Deputy Coleman, there is a strong: thread of evidence against some parties, who are be lieved to have been operating these stills and that arrests would probably be made socn. These two big stills makes a total of 38 stills for Cherokee officers dur ing the year and six months adminis tration. and Shet iff Abernathy makes the statement that if he can run this total up to 50 by the end of his pres ent term in office, he will be satis fied ? and it lcoks to us as if he and his able staff of deputies are out to bring home the bacon.

The number of cases of typhoid fever in the state is on the increase, and those who have not taken the typhoid vaccine should see a phy sician at once. The medical world has been able to practically stamp out this once-dreaded disease by means of the typhoid vaccine. The reports iroing into the health department at Raleigh. indicate that there are prac- ! tically no cases in the cities, but they may be found in the rural sections. This means that the people in the ru ral sections are drinking water from wells and springs which contain the typhoid germsb. If you are not sure that the well is filled with pure wat er, boil it before drinking. W. C. MORROW. M. D. County Health Officer.
