l^nes Williamson Jr., of
Sjriir.gton, one of the orignal
Kooseveit presidentai boomers,
u-a^ in Greensboro last night and
*0 a reporter of the Daily News
L declared that he would be
iresent in Chicago August 5
ihenthe ‘vProgressive’' conven-
tion is called to order. Mr,
\villiamson also expressed the be
lief that he would be but one of
a number of Tar Heel progres
sives on hand to whoqp thing up
for the Colonel. Mr. Williamson
wili leave Saturday night for the
Windy City.
}ie asked last night that all
Morth C-arolina progressives,
?;hether they be delegates, alter
nates, or visitors, v,^ho propose
to attend the Chicago convention,
communicate with him immedia-
iely that he may rtiake seating
arrangements and also prepare
for the trip. He says he wifi
have no trouble in arranging
comfortable seats and quarters
for ali who expect to be in Chi
cago 5.
It will be recalled that a recent
conference of Roosevelt support
ers held in this city it was de
termined that no reguiarJy author
ized deiegates from North'Caro
lina would be sent to Chicago,
but that individual Republicans
v.ho might care to go might be
regarded an represtatives of the
state. At that time it was said
many of the state Roosevelt lead
ers would be in Chicago, among
those expressing a purpose of at
tending being Col. VV. S. Pearson
Wiliiamson , Richmond
Pearson and others. It was
pointed out at the time that it
V,; be impossible to name re-
g jiar delegates because of the
faci that the state convention
\vou;d not be called to meet until
alter the Chicago conveintion.

ed about twenty-five of her little
p]ends at a birthday party in
‘lonor of her sixth birthday. The
ftoars from five to seven .were
^pent having a general good time,
little Mary Tome assisted.
»y Mrs. Hughes her mother and
her sister Miss Gkura,, proved a
cuarming entertainer.
Two of them are in town as I!
write. For several days they
have been on the streets soUcit-
ing iunds tq build a church or an
orphanage in Greece or Armenia
or 6jaie other afflicted country—
no nicitter what nor where. I
understand they show the May-1"
or s permit to solicit oii the j '
streets. They usually call on me ‘
me for an endorsement,
which they wi^ih to use as a lever
to prize open the homes and the
purses of people especially in my
own consfregation. I always
stoutly refuse to give them my
endorsement or my permissjpn to
prey upon my ^ple. I believe
our town Board should pass an
ordinance making it a misde
meanor for any outsider to beg
on our streets until the Mayor or
some pr^per official has curefuiiy
investigated the claims and cre
dentials of the visitor, andstatis
in writing that he has satisfac-
factory evidence that the person
is genuine and his cause worthy.
If our jBoard of Assi,ciated Char
ities is to be permanent, as I
trusc it is, the prident or sec
retary of this Board would per
haps be the best official to inves
tigate such cases and issue a cer
tificate. Other cities have such
an ordi«ance, and is much to be
desired -as a means of protecting
a commur»ity against common
hoboes aud fakirs. The creden-
tials and testimonials carried by
such tramps as a rule mean noth
ing, for any sort of religious
tramp can get from preachers,
mayors sind others more of such
endorsements than he can carry.
l am not charging that such
foreigners as those recently seen
on our streets are frauds. Some
of them doubtless are honest and
genuine, and will make good use
of what they have left above ex
penses when they return to their
homeland. But to give to them
is about the poorest inv^t;ment
I can imagine. Sometime -aio I
examined the books of these for
eign beg^^irs showing the a-
mounts of their collection. Three
weeks ago they were in England;
three months ago In Russia, they
said. Theia* books showedi that
they were collecting little more
than necessary expenses for rail*
road fare ami hotel bills. Gmnt-
ed that they vs^ere genuine, and
that on returiiing, to Airmenia
they would use what was left in
building a chui^ih, I concluded
that the amount deft above ex
penses would hardly be mose
than 10 per eeait of collections.
Tihat would mean tiiat of every,
$1000 we give ibhem-^QOia spent
in ^ving these foreigners a trip
anound the world.
Hov; should wetxeal; these fce-
eigm visitors? S^owiiii^ ev^
Christian courtesy, fcwrat is a pity
if thBy have to go back hwne to
spr^the report that boasted
Christianity of Ajpaerka treats
with rudeness a weil-naeaning
visitor. Feed the visitor if his
money fails him. But instead of
giving liim a dime to get rid of
him as a beg'gar, teii him plainly
that we iaave our own mission
Boards affcd orphanages, that the
cost of c(^iection funds for them
is a trifle, and that while wish
ing success to his euterprise we
have at home a vastly more eco
nomical means of spending our
money, and that therefore as a
principle we will not give him a
cent.
But the pubiic will be spared
much annoyance if our town
Board will protect us with an or
dinance as suggestd.

MILK AND MEAT INSPECTION
Last week in writing of milk
inspection we had in mind meat
inspection also which last should
go hand in hand with the former.
Sioee ti^ibst writing there has
feee»LC»r €od}ibition at Dr. Spoon’s
hospital a specimen
of tiyEt«eular meat. This horri-
Me s%lit is no less than a larg^
piece of the lung of a cow com
pletely hardened by tuberculosis
and yellovyjsh in color.
This case near at hand should
stir us more perhaps than those
of a distance of which we read
or those which Dr. Dixon Carroll
so graphically portrayed in her
lecture here last winter. Many
cows well-^advanced in this dis
ease. so Dr. Spoon states, look
well and strong. Nothing but
regiilar inspection can make us
reitiavyiiabiy bate. Somebody may
say “Why be uneasy about
meat? we can cook that until all
the tuberculosis is dead.”
For grov> n ups; yes, if they are
willing 10 eat such meat; but the
children lieed the fresh meat
juices_ and scraped rare beef
eariy in ’ neir second yeaj.
_ Shall spend a little of our
time, ail i energy, and means to
bring about the regular inspec
tion of cJairies and meat markets?
Or shall ^ve continue to place the
responsibility elsewhere and
piously say, “An all-wise Provi
dence knows best” When our
children die from the effects, of
diseased mi i.: i id meat which
effects inigb hi/-"-' ^'>een avoided
had thecauF'-s ifod rii ore attention
God is speaking to us very plain
ly now through the wonderful,,
progress in scientific research
and would have us remember
that the. laws of Nature are as
truly His as the laws of nwrals:
that Hjis laws of health and self
preservation must be reverenced
or the penalty must be inflicted.
NEW ORDINANCE
We rejoice to see the new ordi
nance recommended by our
Health Board and passed by car
Board of Alderman. We call on
all W. C. T. U. members especi
ally to be very active in help
ing to create hearty eo-operalaon
and symy&thy with thisc^inanoe
that the town may more readily
enforce it.

Last week's statistics concern
ing whooping cough were taken
froen United States reports: the
foilowing strike nearer home,
econing as they do frcrni NSil3i
Carolina “Our State Board of
Health announces that last year
in North CaroUna whooping cou
gh killed fifteen times as many
children ^ scarlet fever, five
times as many as measles, and
almost twice as many as diph-
ether^ measles and scarlet fever
combined. ”
In the light of these facts it is
nothing short of ^ cruifnnal for
people to expose tneir own and
others children to this dread dis
ease. i35ut.the fact is. we are in
the dark rather than “the light. ’'
The great fatability mention
ed above may come right largely
from carelessness, but the serious
complications'often arising and
the very contagious natune of
disease account for much.
We know of some cases in our
town now that were exposed by
neighbor’s chileren having whOop
ing calling on them. The heigh-
bors thought “everyboey must
have it sometime and childhood
was the best time'* The ex
planation then is ignorance. For
if more care were taken and quar
antine required, children would
hot “have to have it” as they do
