Whether or not any of these deaths were reported from Caldwell county we do not know, but j the fact that they occurred from ty phoid fever should be sufficient to alarm the people of this county. The country is experiencing an un usual spring. This means a longer fly season and a greater danger this year from typhoid. It has beer, two or three years since the county has bad a campaign for vaccination against typhoid. Typhoid can be pre vented : Vaccination gives immunity against this disease for a period of two to three years, and sometimes longer. The matter of a county-wide campaign should be taker, up by the county commissioners as early as possible. It should be put through with as little delay as possible. The peak of typhoid incidence is reached in utrust, and ordinarily the ummer months, which are also the fly months, are considered the ones 1 when typhoid is most dangerous It is true that the disease is most prev alent during these months, but at the came time there is always danger, even in the midst of winter, of be coming infected. The safe plan is to be inoculated, to take the three treatments which will render you immune. Several counties have already planned to have anti-typhoid cam paigns this spring and summer, and tome of these are doing the wise thing and starting early. It is much safer in the early spring than in the late summer. Wherever county cam paigns are to be waged they should be started as early as possible. WThere there are no county campaigns the Individuals should at once take ad vantage of the safe protection that is offered through their local physicians or health officers. TRAINING SCHOOL IS TO HAVETWO TERMS First Term to Begin May 31; Improvements Being Made; Mr. Linney Is Endorsed (By J. M. Downum) The summer school for the Train ing School will this year include two terms, the first beginning May 31 and ending July 8, the second be ginning July 12 and closing Aug. 19. just the week before the regular fall term opens on Aug 25.

DULA, DULA'S AD I TOR I AL A HEALTHY SIGN I got the Word in Lenoir last Sat urday that there was to be a Straight Democratic and a straight Republi can ticket before the Voters in Le noir, N. C, this Election. This is as it should be. I have opposed the way that the Municipal officers have been selected in the past. ' Just few men going up to the Court House and having a pre arranged printed ticket and putting it through by steam Roller methods and then say ing, Vote it as Printed, it was the Voice of the People, Stand by your nominees, this old wav that Lenoir, X. C. has been going along does not give the Great majority of the peo- IS STATE TAX ON GASOLINE NOW EFFECTIVE Beginning April 19, every citizen who buys a gallon of gasoline for the propulsion of his vehicle will pay a tax of one cent to build and main tain the roads over which he is about to drive. The gasoline tax one one cent per gallon went into effect Tues day of last week and in the course of a year will net the road building forces in the State $500,000, accord ing to estimates of the automobile department of the office of the sec retary of state. Unlike the tax that is levied by the Federal government upon the" na tional drink, the tax will be collected at the source of supply, and the pur chaser will not have to hunt through his pockets to see if he has an extra penny. The wholesale dealer will pay the tax to the State, and the charge will be handed down through the re tailer to the consumer. Gasoline is expected to rise from 30 to 31 cents a gallon. Fifty million gallons of gasoline were burned by Tar Heel motorists during the past year, according to the estimates of the authors of the State road law. and a cent a gallon would raise half a million dollars for the general road fund. Rebates are provided for the users of ga?o!i:ie for purposes other than automobiles. In dustrial plants using gasoline f ir motive power may make application lor the refute of the tax. Details for the collection of the tax are left largely to the discretion of the automobile department in the wording o fthe law. J. E. Sawyer, neaa or tne department, has worked out a system of collecting from the wholesaler rather than dealing direct witn tne retail dealer, thus eliminat ing a vast amount of bookkeeping ana tne necessity for a corps of m- spectors to keep check on reports made by individual dealers. Collec tion of the half million dollars is ex .pected to be effected at a cost of not more than one per cent of the total collections. Arrangements have also been per fected by the department for the col " lection of the annual license fees for automobiles in the State, aggregat- ms, wuturuuig ui me esximate, sz, 250,000 for the year. License fees, together with the gasoline tax, will Bring a gross revenue to the State road fund of approximately $2,750, 000. It is estimated that 200.0nn licenses will be issued during the year, as against 147,000 for the year urawing to a close. Four car loads of license tags have been bought by the department at a cost of 11.5 cents each. The tag this year will be the same size as last year's tag, with black lettering against a white background instead of the yellow as now used. Air. Saw yer is organizing his staff of clerks for the tremendous rush that will be v occasioned when the present licenses . TAjurn saa new issue is required. More than SO clerks will b at work . for six weeks. ' Under the schedule of fees charged last year the sale of licenses netted the State $1,800,000. Somewhat higher rts, and the increased num- former 14 to 1 and the in the latter 6 to 4, both in favor of the school. Col. Rivers of the Democrat is too modest to speak of it, but he is re modeling and greatly improving his home in Boone. If he were not an editor I would say that "none but the rich can afford such." Messrs. Greene and Bingham, the Edison men of Boone, have a new building in which to display their large stock of Edison supplies, and this building has been just about completed from the ground within three weeks. The many friends of Hon. F. A. Linney, without regard to party, are hoping that he may secure the ap pointment as judge to succeed Judge Pritchard, in spite of some opposi tion by some who have no good cause. This section is solid behind Linney. "The Livingston Club," the young ladies 'missionary society of the Methodist church, on the past Satur day gave in the court house an in teresting entertaimment, entitled "A Trip Around the World," which was very much enjoyed by all who took part in the trip. Africa, China, Ko rea, Japan and the United States were coutries included in the trip. The costumes and decorations at each place were appropriate, and ap propriate refreshments were served. A nice sum was secured for the new church fund.

HUGHES FOR RIGID POLICY TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION Rigid restriction of immigration was recommended by Secretary Hughes in official documents trans mitted to Congress. They were in terpreted by House and Senate lead ers as reflecting increased need for the immediate passage of the immi gration bill reported last week by the House committee, limiting admission of aliens for 14 months beginning next May 10, to 3 per cent of each nationality resident in the United States in 1910. Debate in the House began under special rule. "Our restriction on immigration should be so rigid," Mr. Hughes' re port said, "that it would be impos sible for most of these people to en ter the United States." Particular reference was made to undesirable classes from Balkan cities, Armenia, The report said 606,292 passport vises were granted Dy American con suis in Europe for the year 1920, reflecting a stimulated desire in most European countries to emigrate to America before anti-immigration laws were passed. The principal re straining innuence was said to be lack of funds to depreciated curren cy values. "The director general of police of Roumania," the report said, "has is sued an order excusing all Jews from military service and permitting their discharge from the army if . they de sire to emigrate to America. In Roumania 1,600 persons were waiting examination for permission to come to the United States, it was said, while "tremendnnn nnMm" for passage was reported by officials m Poland, where 85,000 awaited ber of ears In o Deration this vi will run the furores bevond th twn million mark. The schedule this vear is as follows: 24 h.n. or less. S 12.50: over 24 and lest than SO h p., $20: over 80 and less thni 35 h.p., 130: over 35 n.p., 140. third class accommodations. Letts and Lithuanians leaving the Baltic states, Mr. Hughes said, were largely people from the slums, the vast majority of them "Jews of an undesirable type. In the Russian Caucasus "it may De accepted as nearly literally true," Mr. Hughes said, "that every Arme nian family which has enough money to get away or is not impregnated with bolshevism will ultimately en deavor to emigrate to America. Rus sians and Georgians are likely more and more to emigrate to the same haven. "The great bulk of emigrants to the United Suites from this district are highly undesirable as material for future American citizens." The report said 5,000 Armenians and zv.wv byrians were awaiting passage irom cagciad and that, de spite dimculties of emigration from Germany, the number desiring to come from that country had doubled in uie last year, compared to any similar period since tti; war ended. Senator Jones, Republican, Wash ington, introduced an amendment to the immigration bill in the Senat which would compel all immigrants to the United States to take passage omy on vessels nying the American nag. THE WAY Br James Monro Downum If you would always in the struggle stand tne test, And in the bitter contest be ever first, Move forward, looking eager for the good, the best. But, not despairing, be still ready for the worst. When sunshine's sweet and happy days are passine bv. And every morn they come to you witn smiles to greet, Look forward, then, with ever keenly watchful eye, Knowing that somewhere out there you the storms must meet. luring, are When all around is only smooth and brierht. And hindering objects there none to block your way, Be sure that some time set of sun will bring the night, And rougher paths will cause a yearning for the day. Just so, for every cloud that lowers o'er thy path Somewhere there is a star to light 'en up the way ; And, too, when all things seem to threaten only wrath, There is for faithful souls a safe and constant stay.
