NeeaieWBU. >• There are estimated to be one hundred thousand blind persons, old and young, in this couiJi;ry, j4ot less than five hundred of these live in North Carolina. Had it ever occurred to you, gen tle reader, that at least seventy- five to one hundred of these vteed iiotbave been blind—ought not to have been, and would not have been~if proper precaution and preventive measures had heen employed immediately af ter their birth? “What blindness means to an intelligent, capable man or wo- jnan," to quoie the v/ords of a blind man who has, in the lace of heavy odds, t^aken his plate in the world with signal success, •js. bomething which only the Lord and the devil and those virho endure it know anything about; in their blackest nightmares, those with sight can not even imagine it.” That it is po&ible to prevent much of su b angaiah seems not to have dawned lapon the average citizen. Is sucfa ig norance and indifference not criminal. positively wicked? Then who is responsible? i From one-fourth to one-third of all blind children lose their sight from what is usually called ■'sore eyes,” “infiammation,” etc. This is really "‘ophth&lmia neonatorum,” a germ disease, which can be cured if tak^a in time and proper remedies used. These remedies should be ; ap plied as soon as the child is bOTn, whether any signs of infiasiima- tion are ciscovered or not. The remedy will do no hurt; it may save your child’s sight. I If the eyes, nose, mou th i, and ears of every new-born babe should be thoroughly washed im mediately after its birth in a weak solution of baracic acid: (bo rax water), one drop of a solu tion of nitrate of silver, ' not stronger than one per cent;,' put in the eyes, and the child there after kept clean, blindness among children in our State would iliie re duced at least twenty-five^ per cent. Do you realize what : that would mean to the one hu ndred homes in North Carolina in which there are children need lessly blind? And a,re you aware wiiat it would &i\\e the State finajiicially to thus preserve the sight of all such chjldren? Not lestr than $20,000.00 a year. Is it not 'srorth the effort? Then doe» it lidt be hoove every one to do all ia his power to spread the infonmation and seek to bless the homes into which the little ones come?'

A prominent preacher ia this city in making a pastoral call last week caught a good womaifj in a plight from which she couiii not extricate herself readily. When the divine rang the door bell a small boy ushered him ii:; to his mother’s room, not knowing that she was bathing her feet i as a remedy for sick headache fesid all the good woman could do viras to pull her skirt down over the basin and stand pat. The pieacher talked and talked, the water cooled off but the situation re mained unchanged until tte lord of the house came in and bailt up a roaring fire. The conversation was renewed and perspiration poured freely from the lady’s face wrhile her feet were dfi-Wn to zero. She was plucky ani stuck to her post and the pr^cber left not knowing how near he came losing a member of his flock by making a long call The first one to bring in a dollar oxt sub scription can learn the nsme of the woman, the preacher aod the church to which thiy belong.— Mount Airy Leader.

J.Zeb Waller, Post Master. FourteeB Days In A Freight Car Without Eidier Food Or Drink Greensboro, N. C., March 7.- George JoKnson, colored, of Mount Holly was brought to the city last night and sent on to his old home after having suffer^ j an experience that may cost him his life. Johnson left this part of the country some years and went to a number of distant! cities. He boarded the train at i Cincinnati fourteen days ago, en tering a t'reigt.t car filled with loose corn that was being ship ped to Johnson City, He hoped to beat his way to that city where he hoped to find work that would enable him to complete his trip on home. During the fourteen days he was in the car, he got neither food to eat nor v/ater to drink. He was locked in and the car was IXKik^ straight through. When it arrived Johnson was found in a helpless condition and unable to speak above a whisper. He was frozen from his waist down and when taken to the fire* blood issued from every pore of that part of thfe body. He was given exj^rt medical attention and while he is yet in a serious ■con dition he may survive the shook of the experience. He is stiM un able to speak above a whisper-on account of the weakness bromght on by his fasting as well as the exjtoSufe/hfe New York.

Preudeat Taft Asks Tliat We Observe Senday, March 10 New York, Feb. 29—The^ lowing letter from President Taft under date of Feb.26 has been recieved by W. B. Miller, secretary of the China famihO relief committee. “Dear Mr. Miller: I sincerely trust that the people of the country will obsrerve Sunday March 10, and the Jewish people Saturday, March9, as a famine relief day for the benefit of the starving niultitudes of China. To all of us alike must come the appeal from these famine-striken people and to all of us if we re spond there will sometime come back the words of 'hungry, and ye fed me.’ ‘‘With best wishes for success ful appeal to the sympathy aiid assistance of. omr American people, I ai^ Qwr* sinterely” “ffiaiMi BL fan?'
