BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921 NUMBER 21 V1- PRINTING COSTS MAY BE REDUCED Bill Introduced In Con tress To Regulate Government v Printing CHAUTAUQUA WILL RETURN TO BEAUFORT NEXT YEAR (Special Correspondence) WASHINGTON, May 24. Three bills having for their purpose the promotion of economy in Govern ment printing have been introduced by Representative Madden of Illi nois. One of these requires that on each report, bulletin, publication, or leaflet published by the Government, immediately under the title thereof, or at some place on the first page, there shall be stated the number of copies printed, the cost of prepara tion, the cost of paper used, and the cost of printing same. Another bill provides that the Postmaster General shall, in his annual report, submit a detailed statement of the cost to the postal establishment of the matter mailed under frank by each depart ment and independent establishment of the Government and the revenue which would be derived therefrom if carried at the ordinary rates of pos tage. The third bill requires the head of each department and inde pendent establishment on October 1 of each year to submit in writing a report to Congress giving the aver age number of the various publica tions during the preceding fiscal year with the cost of paper, preparation, publication, and the number of cop ies of each publication distributed. A Real Merit System. President Harding's order rela tive to the appointment of postmas ters to offices of the First, Second and Third Class will have the effect of placing those government offices on a truly merit system. President Wilson let the matter of placing Sixty-four Beaufort citizens desiri- ing to bring the Swarthmore Chau tauqua back here next year signed a contract guaranteeing the company $1,500 as their minimum receipts. It is provided that the exhibition must come not earlier than June fifteenth. The receipts this year amounted to $1,325 and the guarantors believe that it will be an easy matter to get up the $1,500 required next year. The Chautauqua will be a seven day affair instead of a five day one as this year's was. The last day of the Chautauqua proved to be one of the most inter, esting of the series. The. aftrnoon performance consisted of drills, songs and athletic stunts by the Junior Chautauqua and an entertaining and amusing act by Wallace Havelock juggler. A crowd that packed the tent to its doors was present for the evening performance and greatly en joyed the program rendered by the Dnnbar Male Quartet and Bell Ring ers. These versatile young men sang, talked, played various instru ments and rang bells in a way that captured the audience. Mr. Paul W. Quay the genial and efficient Su perintendent announced that the Chautauqua would return next year for a seven day engagement and his statement was greeted with great ap plause. The list of guarantors for the next Chautauqua follows: J. A. Brickhouse, N. F. Eure, A. F. Doane, M. Leslie Davis, Harry A. Day, J. L. Barbour, Dr. C. S. Max well, F. R. Seely, Troy Morris, G. W. Duncan, W. G. Mebane, George W. Lay, W. L. Stancil, A. J. Cooke, C. W. Norcom. G. W. Huntley. W. A. Mace, C. D. Jones, Nathan Garner, C. V. Felton, R. L. Davis, L. E. Greerdeaf, C. P. Dey, Mrs. N. W.

H FIGHT DIPTHERIA WITH PREVENTIVE WILL CELEBRATE FOURTH OF .JULY State Health Board Furnishes Treatment To' Prevent Dreaded Disease RALEIGH, May 21. Another for ward step in the protection of the public health is announced by the State Board of Health, the newest move being aimed at the eradication of diptheria. Through Dr. , C...A. Shore, director of the State labora tory of hygiene, notice is being sent the physicians of the state that toxin-antitoxin is now ready for distri bution at the nominal charge of ten cents for the three doses needed to give immunity. Toxin-antitoxin is different from diptheria antitoxin. The latter is used for treatment and, in 1,000 unit doses, for immediate protection. The immunity rendered by the toxin- antitoxin mixture is believed to last for years, certainly as long as the immunity produced by typhoid vac cine. There is rood reason to be lieve that diptheria can be practical ly stamped out by the widespread use of diptheria toxin-antitoxin mix ture. Three injections at intervals of one week are necessary to product immunity, and it is suggested that the treatment be given to all children and especially to those children be tween the ages of one and five years. and to all adults who have had dip theria. A previous attack does not confer immunity, but is an evidence of susceptibility. The toxin-antitoxin mixture is very expensive to produce, each se ries of three doses necessary for one CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TRANSACTS MUCH BUSINESS Arrangements Being Made To Hold Big Celebration Here On Nation's Birthday. Beaufort is going to hold a fourth of July celebration this year and if the plans do not miscarry it is going to be a glorious fourth indeed. Vet erans of the Civil, Spanish and World War are to be the special guests of the town on that day and inspired by their presence a high tide of patriotism will be aroused on this the nation's natal day. The determination to celebrate the fourth was reached at the monthly meeting of the Chamber of. Com merce on Monday evening. The matter was discussed and - a motion adopted authorizing President Hol land to appoint a committee to make the necessary arrangements for the affair. This committee is composed of the following: E. W. Hill, F. R. Bell. C. R. Wheatlv. Hunrh Hill. Ju. lian Hamilton,, Geo. J. Brooks, G W. Duncan, W. L. Stancil. The la dies of the XL D.-.C; and the Conrmu nity Club are invited to assist in making the day a successful occasion. The program adopted by the commit tee la given below and is a good one There will be a free dinner for the war veterans, then there will be lots of music, a baseball game, a big pa rade, and a speech by some man of national prominence, if one can be secured. The committee has designs upon General Pershing and if he can be persuaded to come he will be here. His presence of course would drow an immense crowd. If General Pe rshing is unable to attend the cel ebration an earnest effort will be The directors oXtteBesuifirt. Chamber of Commerce held a well attended meeting in their quarters Monday evening. Chairmen of the various committees and the Secre tary reported as to work that had been doneand as to plans for future development. Perhaps the most im portant thing to Beaufort that has happened recently was the report a few days ago of Major General Beach of U. S. Engineers in which be recommends hat. the canal connecting Beaufort harbor and Core Sound be made 7 feet deep at low water and 75 feet wide. The cost of this work is estimated at $30,000 with a cost of $4,000 a year for maintenance. This iigprytf0Mc" was asked for some time ago by the Chamber of Commerce. The hotel question was discussed and it was reported that there are prospects of something definite be ing done before a great while. Dr. Maxwell chairman of the hospital committee reported on. the progress of that undertaking. The proposed State, Highway to Beaufort was dis cussed and a committee appointed to look further into the matter. A pub lic Health Committee composed of Dr. C. S. Maxwell, Dr. C L. Swindell and,W. G. Mebane was appointed. A resolution was passed favoring a fourth of July celebration here and President Holland was suthorized to oppoint a committee to carry it through.

The movement was real ly started some months ago by the Chamber of Commerce when a hos- pital committee with Dr. C. S. Max well as chairman was appointed. The undertaking has now reached the stage where in all probability in a few days a drive to sell stock will be under way. - A meeting of the committee called by Chairman Maxwell was held in the Chamber of Commerce headquarters Monday afternoon and the whole matter thoroughly discussed. After due deliberation a motion was passed favoring the project and that imme diate steps be taken to carry it into execution. A sub committee was ap pointed that afternoon to work out details and report to another meet ing of the whole committee yesterday afternoon. The sub committee recommended that the building be located on Front street, that it be of brick, with ten rooms for patients, with two wards for whites and two for colored, that the shares of stock be $23 wh ijid tnat buyer who wished be allowed to pay for stock b iijt tmm f i m wmmm a mm m . port was adopted.
