BANK OF RAMSEUR KNOWING THE STATE Exhibits at the State Fair Will Show What AH Parts of the State are Doing It is surprising how people all over the State, want to know about other parts of the State. The Publicity Bu reau, organized' recently in Raleigh, will undertake to give people this knowledge. Every county and every town is asked to take advantage of the opportunity offered at the State Fair this fall to rhow the world what it is and what it does. , , Mr. Bion If. Butler, of Southern Pines, has the following to say on the subject: What do you make in your county? What do you raise on the farm? I know you have a good county, a bet ter county than you suspect. But a lot of people do not know. Now at the State Fair this fall prizes of liberal sums are to be offer ed for the county making the best ag ricultural display. Your county should be in that game. We are all anxious to get publicity for North Carolina, and that means every county and township in the State. Moore county is going to be on hand at Raleigh with something you will be interested in seeing. Don't let the sandhills make a better show ing than you. Get the thing under way right off. Suppose you have a meeting Saturday at the court house or school house, and discuss the sub ject. Let us show the Publicity Bu reau that we have something to make public. Some people spend so much mone ready getting ready for a vacation they never have enough left to get there with.

NOTICE It appearing to the Board that the Board of Commissioners has from time to time in the past exempted sundry persons from the payment of poll tax ojf account of poverty and in firmities, some for specific years, oth ers until further order of the Board, and still others generally, and stftl others for good and all; and whereas, it appears to the Board that some of the persons so exempted are no longer inhrm and still others are no longer poverty stricken and are, therefore, no longer proper subjects for poll tax exemption; and whereas, it further ap pears to the Board, with reference to other persons, there is sufficient ev idence on hand to know whether or not the same should be exempted from the further payment of poll tax, and information cannot readily be obtain ed concerning them without an un reasonable amount of trouble and ex pense in any other way than by re quiring them, if they still think them selves fit subjects lor exemption and desire to obtain came, to come before the Board and make application thereof. NOW, THEREFORE, It is ordered by the Board that all persons, citizens, residents or taxpayers of Randolph county who have heretofore been ex empted from the payment of poll tax on account of poverty and infirmity shall nevertheless hereafter be re quired to pay poll tax according to law for the year 1915 and all subse quent years unless and until they shall hereafter make application to the Board and be exempted by the Board from the payment of poll tax accord ing to law; and such exemptions here tofore granted are hereby recalled and revoked, and the list takers and the clerk to this Board in making out the tax lists and the computation of the taxes for the year 1915 and subse quent years shall charge all persons with poll tax for which 1 they are otherwise liable, according- to law, notwithstanding all exemptions as aforesaid heretofore granted. July 12, 1915. W. J. SCARBORO, Chairman. HEALTH NOTES Nineteen Thousand Vaccinnated The record shows that up to July 14 over nineteen thousand people in North Carolina have been vaccinated against typhoid fever. This number 's the record for the first three weeks or just half the time of the anti-typhoid campaigns that are now being conducted in the five counties by the State and county boards of health. The- one tiny vaccination record wis broken in Fayetteville, when two doc tors voecinated 1.410 people, which is the greatest number for two men on record. Must Take Their Own Medicine "Practice what you preach" is one of those homely hits of advice which is handed out to public health work ers. This advice is needed by many of then. For' instance, the other day, "Pat", the famous anti-typhoid car toonist whose clever work and whose advice through his cartoons has been inducing scores of people to take the anti-typhoid treatment as a preventa tive of typhoid fever, wrote the State Board of Health: "I have been knock ed out for the past week and am still indisposed. Doc says 'fever;' proba bly so. It's anti toxin for me as soon as I get able. P.eally had planned tak ing it just when I got knocked out." Health at the Exposition The subject of health is not failing to attract attention at the Panama Pacific Exposition. The Survey says: "The health material is especially fine. There are no exhbits so 'numerous and so full of popular instruction, no sets of charts, screens and models, whose message is so extensive and intensive as these that tell of the ways to di minish disease and to increase popular vitality." Of the subjects treated the Survey mentions personal and public hygiene and sanitation, patent medi cines, school hygiene, open air schools, the prolongation of life, hookworm disease, the care and prevention of tuberculosis, mosquitoes, yellow fever, malaria and child welfare. Public Spirit in Practice Dr. Matt R. Shephenson, of Sea board, Northampton county, a member of the county board of health, is ren dering his people a service long to be remembered. He championed the progress and success of the anti-typhoid campaign that is now being conducted in his county. At the be ginning of the campaign he put at the disposal of the dispensary force the use of his own car, equipped with a chauffeur, for the mere running ex penses of the car. He is visiting the home3 of the people himself, and giv ing all the aid he can to the campaign. Lee County to Fight Typhoid Lee county is going to fight typhoid and fight it now. This county recent ly made application to the State Board of Heath for its help. But Lee county did not see where it could wait Con sequently she at once vote'd sufficient means for conducting such a campaign and organized her forces independent ly. Dr. Lynn Mclver is the physician in charge. Hay and Hogs vs. Health and Happiness North Carolina has sixty-three whole time farm demonstrators. She has only ten whole time health officers. Do these facts and figures indicate that her progress and prosperity along the lines of health and agricul tural developments are in the same proportion ? The State Board of Health believes they do. They be lieve the State has progressed over six times as far on scientific farming as it has in public matters and health interest. Her people are not yet in terested in health work to the extent they are in other matters her mate rial prosperity for instance. They don't yet see where money spent on the prevention' of disease is worth more than money spent on sickness and death. They haven't seen yet that whole time health officers are as prof itable as whole time farm demonstrators. AN ASHEBORO WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE Results Tell the Tale. Can you doubt the evidence of this Asheboro citizen. You can verify Asheboro endorse ment. Read this: Mrs. Hugh J. Burns, N. Fayette ville, St., Asheboro, says: "Kidney complaint began with pains across the small of my back and later, I had dull headaches and dizty spells. The kid ney secretions became disordered and irregular in passage. After I had used Doan's Kidney Pills a short time, I felt better. Six or eight boxes cured tne of the attack and now I have lit tle trouble from my kidneys. State ment given January 2, 1908). OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER Mrs. Burns said: "Whenever my kid neys are the least disordered, a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills give me auick relief." Price 50c, at all dealecs. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Burns had. Foster-Mjlburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. THE KIND OF FELLOW THIS I EVER SALIVATED EY TOWN NEEDS! CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. This town needs a hustling fellow, young or o'd, as an ofrical Civic Boost er. He must have a square jaw bone and a stiff back bone. He must be a "Go-Getter." In the first place ke should form an organization for fos tering civic pride. We have a good envn, dui it muse t;e made b-?tt?r. an the Civic Booster murt be the man to lead the procession. Have you eve wn a own v.un v.Pii-pavrfl, clean streets, a good water-works system Rood street lighting, a fine health rcc orti and an air of prosperity thai wasn't proud of some citir.en who was the prime mover in every improve ment? It isn't going to do us much good to have the best town in the State if we don't take our coats off, get together and work like a traction engine to keep her so. The trouble is that most of us stand back and wait for the other fellow to take the lead. Well the time's come! Who's going to take the lead? Who'll be the Go-Getter? Will you? The time is ripe for the Go-Getter to step out, shuffle off his coat and start in. He rryist be a man who knows how to do things. He ought to kndw how yards should be cleaned and be able to per suade each owner or renter to keep HIS own clean. If each one will keep his yaid clean, we'll hr.ve a clean town. There must be concerted movement, with the Go-Getter in the end show ing folks how to do it. Whole blocks should have nice grass esplanades, and the grass should be kept mowed. Yards should blossom with flowers, so this town will look like a huge flower garden.' Trees should all be alike in a block, and set in a straight line. If grass and flower plots are put into the middle of the street, the same uniformity should obtain. Property holders should form neighborhood clubs, with the Go-Getter telling them how, and see that the designs and plans are uniform. When we "Swat the Fly" we ought to do it together. When we oil the water puddles to keep out the mosquitoes, there should be an united attack. These things make for health, and health is the bas is of all civic improvement. In short, the Go-Getter ought to be a fund of information and dynamo to elec trify his associates and get thnigs done. He ought to study the good points in other towns and adapt them to our town. This paper will get be hind the movement and shove. What we want now is the Go-Getter! Are you the man? Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA THE PRESS CONVENTION It was the first experience of the North Carolina editors at going: into religious retreat. They breathed the atmosphere of staid and prim Old Lady Montreat and abided her rules and regulations - for three days and the first moderate enjoyment at the beginning grew into absolute delight and admiration at the last. The women in the party did not bring their bathing suits from the trunks, because these suits were not cut after the fashion prescribed by Montreat etiquette; there was no need for the trick which pulls the metal stoppers from bottles for bottled good::, either carbonated or fiat, are contraband at Montreat and after the supply of cigarettes that was brought in o:i the clothes of the men had been ex hausted, the air was unpolluted by cigarette smoke. But there was tonic in the air, a fine hotel, splendid fare, rerved by young , women, and there was music, teas and classic entertain ment. The editor who did not come out of the retreat feeling a better man, must be put down as unre- claimable. Wade Harris, in Charlotte Observer. MORE THAN 200 FIRMS IN WOOD WASTE EXCHANGE Since the inauguration of its Wood Waste Exchange, last April, the For est Service has been requested to list 147 mills and factories as having waste material for sale, while during the same tme 76 other wood-using concerns have asked to be listed as de siring to purchase waste of a wide range of species. The Forest Service has just been notified by a large novelty manufac turing concern in New York City that the Wood Waste Exchange has ena bled it to obtain its raw material at a considerable saving of mon?y. The Forest Service desires the co operation of all manufacturers of small wooden commodities and invites them to list their requirements with the Wood Waste Exchange. There is no charge for this service. CASTORIA For Inants and Children. Ba Kind YoaHan Always Esogjit Basra thm tAgnaturaof Calomel loses you a dav! You know what calomel is.

HALF OF ALL FOREST FIRES ARE PREVENTABLE According- to the United States For est Service more than half the forest fires in the United States are due to carelessness or other preventable causes, starting from campers, rail road locomotives, brush burning, in cendiaries and saw mills. Forest fires destroy millions of dol lars worth of timber and other prop erty every year, and in some casea considerable loss of life. CONTRADICTORY SCIENCE John Burroughs, in the Atlantic Monthly. The infinitely little and infinitely vast alike baffle the understanding, developed a3 it is by our concrete finite life. Creation is typified by the sphere. A circle is a straight line that at every point ceases to be a straight line, and the earth's surface is a plane that every moment ceases to be a plane. Following the surface of the earth does not carry us to the under side, because there is no more an un der side than there is an upper side there is only a boundless surface. But if it were possible for us to build a globe on the globe, as large as the one we inhabit, would it not have an upper and under side? The rain causes the grass to grow, and the sun causes the snow to melt, but we cannot apply the idea of cause, in this sense, to Nature as a whole, but only to parts of Nature. Gravita tion caused Newton's apple to fall, but what causes the earth to fall forever and ever, and never to fall upon the body that is said to attract it ? PARKER, N. C, MAN GKTS QUICK RELIEF W. R. Davenport Better After First Dose of Remedy. W. R. Davenport of Parker, N. C, long suffered from a peculiar malady of the stomach. He sought treatment with but little relief. At times it seemed that he would have to give uu hope. He took Mayr's Wonderiul Kemedy and found immediate benefit. He wrote: "For years I hav suffered from disease which puzzled doctors. They termed it catarrh of the stomach, say ing the only hope would be a change of climate, and that in all probability I would never get well. Then I heard of your remedy. One bottle gave me instant relief. It made me feel like a new man.. Your full course of treatments has about cured me. Sev eral of my friends have also been cured." Mayr's Wonderful Remedy given permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No mora distress after eating, pressure of ga in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfactory money will be re turned. .- , i ... .
