Ciirr are boosting him for Governor three years heoce, but the Utneral gives it out that he is not an aspirant for political honors. If he were he would ,be in the running alright, and the competitor that kept up with him would have to keep on the move, ficneral Carr has hosts of friends throughout the State who would be glad to support him for any of fice he might wish. He is North Carolina's best known private cit izen, and he is as proud of his State as his State is proud of him. Along all lines of industry th country beems to be moving for ward. The new tariff is disap pointing to the high tariffists in that it has not knocked business into a cocked hat. There is nothing new about the . Mexican situation. The factions are still fighting and killing each other. So far as the rest of tho world is concerned at present it is "hands off." The Next Six Months in Congress. Washington Dispatch to Balti more Sun. Just ahead of Congress is, per haps the busiest session Which that body has experienced for a de cade, much to the regret of many members who desire an early ad journment to prepare for the fiext Congessional election. The legislative calendars are al " "ready crowded. Bills cnogh are pending now to consume the entire time of Congress for the next six months, even if no account is taken of the score or more of annual ap propriation bills that must be pass ed before the beginning of the next fiscal year,. Onl.V one of these supply bills—that for the District ol Columbia —has been reported. Moreover, some of the most im portant constructive legislation proposed for this session has been introduced. This includes some of the anti-trust bill*, the conserva tion bills and those providing for Workmen's compensation and em ployers' liability, which many" of the Democratic leaders expect to push forward, As soon as the House reconvene* January 12, it will proceed to con sider the measures that were left on the unfinished business calendar when the recess was ordered. They are the the District of Columbia Appropriation bill, that providing for government railways in Alaska and a Joint resolution providing for the appointment of a commis klon*to investigate and report up on a vocational education system under the Federal government. On the State side the calendar already has listed such measures as the constitutional amendment, granting the right of suffrage to women, the Owen bill to establish a legislative reference bureau, a number of bills providing for Fed eral aid in the construction of roads, and several bills to create a tariff commission. •' In addition the Newlands bill for an industrial commission to Inves tlgate trust conditions, is before the Senate Committee on Inter- State Commerce. It will be report ed by the committee a few days after the session begins and will take its place on the calendar. Then, too, the bill by the same author providing for an uppropri tlon of Hftoo,ooo.ooo with which to combet flood waters at their sources is before the Senate await ing reference to a committee. This is one of the most important pieces of legislation with which Congress will have to deal. - The Newlands plan contemplatea the control of floods at their source as well as control In the the beds of the streams. The sum made available Is to be expended over a period of ten or twelve years. Some of the money is to he used for storage reservoirs, aome for reforestation, some to prevent eroaion of the soil and the remain der for levees and dykes along the streams subject to damaging overflows. Among the legislative matter* of a miscellaneous nature aoon to be a miscellaneous nature aoon to re ceive consideration ia the Adam son bill providing for a Depart ment of Public Health, with a cab inet officer at ita head. The meas ure would conaolidate all the bu reaus and branches of the govern ment now devoting their energies to health work with the exception of the medical corns of the army army and navy. The present bu reau of public health ia to be made the neucleus of the new depart ment. , The question of Panama Canal government ia also to receive at tention early in the aeaaion. The measure proposed by Representa tive Adamaon of the House Com mittee on Inter-State Commerce, a lev days ago, suspending the free toll provision for the present act for two yeai? will be the founda tion lor action of Congress on this question. ./ The controversy over the safety- It-sea legislation haa not been ended, for that matter. The La Toilette bill, which passed the Sen ate at the last session by a wide margin, has been held up in the House, and the steamahip interesti of the Atlantic coaat and the Oreal Lakes are making a vigorous right against it. Ther will com promise U they find they cannot defeat the measure. The leaders in the House and Senate hope that an adjournment can be arranged for as early ai July lat, but they are unable tc give any insurance that the work will be com leted by the date MALARIA SURE ENOUGH. A New Veir'n Resolution Mould Clean the Hlite, Bulletin N. C. State Board of Health. We'll have to admit it, Eastern Carolina ia full of malaria and mosquitoea at that. Two malarial experts have Just finiahed making malarial surveys of the Eastern part of the State. One looked for mosquitoes in the low wet placea and the other looked for the mala rial parasite in the people them selves. Dr. Carter found the ano pheles larvae and the full grown malarial mosquitoes in or around every town he visited with one ex ception and he spent only a couple of hours there. Dr. Von Ezdorff found the malarial parasite in the blood of from about one person in three to about one per son in twelve, and what Ift atill worse he probably didn't find them quite all, and furthermore theae doctors did not look for, mosqui toes or malaria in the country but confined their work to towns while malaria, as is well known, ia a rural disease. But what are you going to do about it someone aakstv— That ia up to the individual, the family, and the community, or the town, Just as they choose. ->The individ ual can protect himaelf absolutely, if he cares to do so. Likewise any town or community .can do the same thing. In town and commu nity work it Is largely a question of fighting the mosquito by de stroying his breeding places. In the case of the family good thor ough screening reduces malaria about one-third. But malaria could be eradicated in North Carolina in six weeks if every individual would do Kls part. How? If everyone who has or has ever had malaria would begin New Year's by taking 20 grains of qui nine daily for two days each wejk until the middle of February the trick woul be turned. The mala rial carriers would be thoroughly cured and there would be no seed to start from next summer. Of course there would be mosquitoes but there would be no malaria. It has been suggested that if the head of the household would keep quinine box by the side of theS day clock and issue the quinine rations for Saturday and Sunday to every member of his household when he wound the clock each week the matter would be simpli fied. Meat and Cattle Importations In ' crease. j. Washington Dispatch. Free listing of beef in the new tariff law already has resulted in a vast increase in the importation of foreign beef and meat products. In October and November, the De partment ot Agriculture reports 16,000,000 pounds of meat and Its products were brough from abroad. This is more than triple the amount imported in 191.8 Foreign meats are inspected rig idly inspected by agents of the Hurcau of Animal Industry, who, during the two months condemn ed 18,500 -pounds Nearly halt the imports came from Canada. Ar gentina supplied 6,000,040 pounds, Australia _ 3,000,000 and Uruguay 550,000. During the two months 200,000 head of cattle from Canada and Mexico were imported.

Older children, MW get on or off a> car while it la in.motion; al ways face forward, the way the car is'golng. In getting off a car, take hold of handle with left hand, use caution ; don't get excited Look out for the elevetaed post when getting off a car. Look both waya before getting off ,'i car, for an auto or a wagon that may be coming. Never run across behind a • car, auto or wagon: wait and aee what is on the otner side. Dont run. afcroas in front of a car, auto or wagon, then may be an auto on the other side that ia moving faster; take time to aee what, is coming, then move on, a fait walk; dont RUN. The quick run ahead dt or behind a car Car, auto, or wagon is what caus ea accidents to children. Do not get on a crowded atep of a car* wait for the next car, as a wagon, auto, or elevated post may knock you from the crowded step. If are on a car and go past your atopping place, dont jump off; wait until car stops at next stop ping place and walk back. Always crosi a street or boulevard at the cross walk; stop and look both ways; go slow; wait for an open ing in the passing autds and wag ons. Do not run. Do not get ex cited and allow a wagon or auto to crowd you in front of a fast moving auto or car. Look out for the "Joy-riders", the auto speeders. Look both ways when crossing a street or boulevard. The speeder may come from either direction. Never trespass on a railroad track; 25,000 children under 18 yean of age were killed on rail road tracks during the paat twen ty years. Never ateai a ride on freight or passenger train. Never cross under or crawl through a standing freight train; it may start while you are doing so; wait un til It passes out of your way. Dont get excited In a crowd, or at a fire acare. Keep cool. Stop a panic; dont start one. The pan ic is more dangerous than the. fire. Oo safe. Think along lines of aafe ty and caution, and you can go safely and without fear, if you keep your head clear. Pellagra Spreading Washington Dispatch. Pellagra, unknown in the United State* seven year* ago, but now pronunced a greater menace than leprosy, which It resembles closely, has proven such a baffling prob lem to the public health service that Secretary of the Treasury Mc- Adoo will probably ask the present Congresa to appropriate a sum to establish a hospital for the study of this new menace. This was announced by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Newton. He said there are now 600 cases in a single county in South Carolina, and if a research hospital is es tablished it will probably be locat ed in that part of the country. Since the firat case of pellagra in this country was discovered in Al abama, in IM7, there have been 50,- 000, persons atricken, 36 percent of whom have died and many of whom have died and many of whom have gone insane. Though confined largely to the South, case* have been reported in 44 State* and the District of Col umbia. In many sections of the country, Mr. Newton declared, the disease now exists in epidemic form, and la menacing the life and health of the entire population. It affects chiefly the poorer agricul tural claaaes, but doe snot spare the well-to-do. •100 Rswar , •100.

The Isthmus of PaDama was first visited by Alonzo de OJeda in 1499, and later by Columbus in 1601-1602. It was organised by Spain as the province of Castilla del Oro in 1609, and became a part of the king dom of New Grenada. It remained Spanish territory till 1819, when it became an Independent province. Following this it passed through many changes to that of the United States of Columbia. On November 4. 1(03, it asserted its independence of the Columbian government, and in due time was recognised as an Independent na tion by the various governments. As early as 1688 prominent Bpan- ; lards conceived the idea of build ing t canal across the Isthmus of Darien (Panama), but King Philip stopped it by issuing a mandate making it punishable with death to even espouse such a proposition. The next survey was made la 18M, from Panama to Portobello. Between IMS and 1874 various sar ▼eys were made by the French, English and United States. In 1881 a French company head ed by F. deLesseps, over 86 yean old, ws formed and began actual work early in 1882, at the present site of Culebra Cat. In February, 1888, the company failed, and and de Lesseps and others were arrest ed for fraud, though innocent. In 1894 the New Panama Canal Company waa formed by the French, and after expending •266,,- 040,000, which was raiaed by the floating of t4M,MMM securities among some 200,000 of the French people of the middle aiasees, they were forced to eeaae operations for waat of funds, and their rights were sold to the United States for I»M>M>O.
