State Sanitary Inspectors
Begin their WoRK.-The peo
ple of,North Carolina, on October
I, became acquainted with an en
tirely new experience. The State
Sanitary Inspectors began their
work in their respective districts
on that date, and this was the first
instance of exactly this kind in the
history of the nation. It happens
that in this step, which is consid
ered generally as the most pro
gressive step ever taken by any
State, North Carolina leads the
w ay as usual.
The object of the law itself is
simply to protect one man against
his careless or ignorant neighbor,
and inspector is merely charged
with the faiihful execution of the
law.

Thursday Afternoon Club.
The Thursday Afternoon Club
met wiih Mrs. C. Foster last week
and a very pleasant afternoon was
spent. It was a source of deep re
gret that all members could not be
present. After the business meet
ing was over, the hostess, assisted
by Mrs. Frank Cole, served a de
licious salad course.
The club adjourned two meet in
two weeks with Mrs. Craig Corn

School Notes. After consul
l.iiion, the faculty has decided to

On Wednesday of this week

Great Changes We heard a
farmer say ihe other day, that he
had just sold alive hundred pound
bile of cotton for $200. Just
think of one bale bringing in $200.
We can remember if a farmer sold
a bale of cotton for $40, he thought
he was getting a very good price.
But then great changes have taken
place. White side meat then sold
for 6 cents per pound, hams 10
cents per pound, chickens sold for
IS and 20 cents a piece, and old
hens never sold higlitr than 25
cents a piece, no matter how large
they were. Take us back to the
old tunes and Ihe old prices, say
we.
H Y. P. U. Social. On lm
Tuesday evening the B Y. P. U
held iis third quarterly social at
the home of Mr. and Mrs W. E.
Daniel.
An enjoyable feature nf the
j evening was a "Personal Charac-
teristic" contest in t hicli both
I young and old par.licipaied. Hence
i our honorary members are as eager
I to attend ihe socials as are our
l youngest members,
i After this merriment ilir guests
! repaired to the dining room where
I delicious sandwiches, gi- ns and
hot chocolate were stned Mrs.
Daniel ihen favored u.s Willi several
of her choice piano sik-cnons, afier
which we, reluctantly, departed
for our homes, wishing that a quar
ter of a year was less than three
months. H.
Death of Mr. Matt. W. Ran
som The many friends and ac
quaintances will learn, with deep
regret, of the death of Mr. Matt.
W. Ransom, who died in Rich
mond, Va., on Wednesday even
ing of last week, after a lingering
illness of several years. He was
the eldest son of the late Senator
M. W. Ransom. Until his health
began to give way he was a farmer
in Northampton county on a very
large scale, but on account of very
feeble health, was forced to leave
the farm. He then moved to Lit
tleton and has made it his home
for the past few years. He leaves
a wife, formerly Miss Nenie John
ston, one daughter, one sister and
four brothers and many friends to
mourn his death. His remains
were taken to Littleton and the in
terment was at the cemetery in
that town- Muy the great Com
forter give the greatest consolation
to those who most deeply feel his
loss.
The Fidelis Class. On last
Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. R.
T. Daniel were at home to the
Fidelis Class of the Weldon Baptist
church.
Their home was a scene of
beauty. A profusion of potted
plants and Japanese lanterns
adorned the spacious porch, cut
flowers were in abundance in the
reception hall, parlor and dining
room.
Dr. Haywood, of New York,
and Mr. W. E. Daniel offered help
ful suggestions as to making our
class a more efficient one.
Immediately following ihis the
guesis were invited into the re
ception hall and parlor in which
had been placed twelve groups ot
objects, each group representing
one of the twelve months. The
guests were asked to stand at the
group which represented their
birth month. Then came a con
test consisting of twelve jumbled
letters and figures, the logical ar
rangement of which resulted in
the words, "R. T. Daniel 1919."
These words were placed on a red
and while banner and presented by
Dr. Haywood to Mr. R. T. Daniel
as a souvenir from the Fidelis
Class, of which he is the faithful
and esteemed teacher.
Delicious salads, ices and mints
were served.
Those present were: Dr. Hay
wood, of New York; Mr. Stedman,
of Halifax; Miss Annie Gregory,
of Jackson; Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Daniel, Eugene Daniel, Mr. and
Mrs. D. B. Howell, Mrs. Blalock,
Mrs. R. R. Rodwell, Mrs. H. C.
House, Mrs. N. S. Barnes, Mrs.
C. L. Allsbrook, Mrs. Rodwell,
Mrs. Mohorn, Mrs. Hunter, Mrs.
Chappell. Misses Theresa Dick

Smallpox and Vaccination.
-This seems to be an opportune
time to have something to say
aboul smallpox and vaccination, as
we see from the daily press and
reports from the Bureau of Epi
demiology that there is no linle
smallpox in North Carolina, and
there are two cases in Halifax
cnuntv. when therelshould not b
a case in North Carolina.
There are two cases of smallpox
in Weldon townshipat the present,
and there are a number of scattered
cases throughout North Carolina.
There is no law for quarantining
smallpox, the vaccination is an ab
tection. If every one were vacci
nated there would be no smallpox.
The county health officer will fur
nish the vaccine and do the work
free, do your part.
Paul C. Carter,
County Health Officer.
