DRIVING OUT TYPHOID. Figures recently published in Ral " eigh show that typhoid fever has been on the decrease in Cabarrus County for the past several years. The slump in the number of cases of this disease in the county started when the free county-wide campaign against disease was started several weekjs ago, and with the exception of one year, when a number of cases were reported in a negro eommuuity, there has been a ‘ decrease each year since 1919. What has been done in this county has been done in practically every other county in the State. We have about driven typlioid fever from North Carolina. In the past eleven years, says the Health Bulletin of the State Depart ment of Health, the death rate in the State from this disease has been re ducced by 72 per cent. From its po sition near the top in the United "States the State has been pulled down to a place among those States having the least typhoid fever, and now heads the list of the Southern States with the lowest death rate from this par ticular disease. The intensive fight against typhoid fever began in 1914, when definite plans were adopted to be carried in to effect the following year. Vaccine for the prevention of typhoid fever had been thoroughly tested and its ef ficacy established. So the State Board of Health decided to attempt mass im munisation on a large scale. Only a few years ago it was the us ual thing to see typhoid fever deaths reported almost daily in the State newspapers during the summer months. Experiments with the ty phoid serum were first made on a large scale in the United States Army and they proved so successful there that they have been adopted by prac tically every State in the Union. Os course the serum does not work in every case but it works in nine cabes out of_ten. Take the Army for instance. During the Spanish-Amer ican War there were more deaths from typhoid than from wounds. That ex perience made "the Army tzflee steps tA wipe out "the disease among its person nel a {id the .success thug attained has been passed on to all States. In 1914 the total deaths from ty phoid in the State numbered 839, giv , ing a death rate of 30.8 per 100,000 of. population. In 1924 the deaths from typhoid in the Stute numbered 270, giving a death rate 'df 9.9 <per 190,000 of. population. The reduction in the death rate was 72 per cent. Or to put it another way, if no efforts had been iuade to eradicate typhoid fever, *- amt death rate had papvurl * ed. in : 1924 as in ,1914. 967 citizens I woii|d have succumbed tqi.tujs disense. For the .year, as compared with Elev en years there was a sav ing of 697 lives,-and tan tins. the saving in serious fflttSUE.% * POWER CUKmESnT SIFTteD. "While the water in the lakes and p dams at BtMgtwaUn is net yet at a" j normal! capacity, officials of the com- I pany feel that it will be within a short I time, so they have lifted the ban on ) the use of Wectoric power by textile j plants and other manufacturing en- J terprises in this and other States 1 which it serves. j T%e lifting of the ban means that local textile plans can operate on reg ular schedules sow. For the past sev eral weeks these plants have been halted one day each week, and for some time they were halted as long as two days a week. The snow ani sleet of last week un doubtedly was a big factor in relieving the water shortage. The "(mow fell in all parts of western North Carolina and now that it has -started melting it is certain the streams which feed the Bridgewater reservoirs will be running high. The lifting of the ban means a great deal to Concord and Cabarrus coun ty. This city depends to a large de gree on the pay rofis-of the cotton mills for its business, and when these pay rolls are cut down business suffers a loss. There is usually no lack of water in the State at this season of the year and it scrane reasonable to pre sume that no further curtailment pro gram will be necessary any time soon.

Speaking of the venerable preacher who. on Jannary Ist, at Elon Col lege, preaebed a sermon on his 100th birthday anniversary, the Monroe Journal makes this very interesting , comment: “It is a wonderfully appealing story which the paper carries today about the sermon preached by Dr. J. W. Wellons at Elon College on -the day first he became hundred years old. Men do live to be a hundred, now and then, and still retain their faculties. Some yeans ago a cele brated French chemist attained to ,i that age in such condition. But for' . a man to live to be a hundred years , old and be able to sit before an au dience and deliver a coherent dis course for an hour is so far beyond the ordinary accomplishment of hu man life that it is memorable. When this man was born Andrew Jackson ■ '.iad not become president of the Unit ed States. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams still lived, though thpy both , died in the summer of that year; thF . country beyond the Mississippi was unknown. Mid not a one of the in-| ventions which largely dominate life 1 today had made much if any head-) way. But it was not so mu</j these > ffcftigs that the venerftMV - was concerned with in tUb, bis last i sermon. He was concerned in the one idea which had concerned him at . the beginning of his seventy years of . preaching, namely, seeking God. It f may well be imagined that thin old man himself, so far aa it is given , *® °»e in this life to. do, has already ' found God, and he must have spoken ' much from his own experience when p he said, seek, seek, seek, flint, and of » ail things, seek God.

Looking a Rankin, and then at ■ Napoleon, there is an inescapable ■ similarity between them, a pbysicnl resemblance. It must be deeper than that. The biographies of the Little Corporal that I have rend tell of a man whose sentences were crisp, whose voice was incisive, whose processes were direct, but who. when the situation demanded, could be swiftly adroit. They are alike in these things, too. There is? too, an unfathomable quality about Rankin that must have been characteristic of Napoleon. I wonder how much further the analogy might go.

He bra gone est at the age of 46, with a vision the like of which 1 I have not encountered anywhere among men. Elsewhere In the paper today there is a woefully inadequate, I fear, story of what he has gone to do, and with what he has gone. Rankin is 46. He is an earnest disciple of Dr. Osier. He gives him self fourteen yen re. in which to do the tremendous task that has been given into hjs hands. Napoleon was not much older when he died an exile. Rankin him done already a phenomenal" work, that reaches jnto every continent on the globe. It may be that his influence has saved already as many lives ae the Na poleonic lust cost his generation. ■Sometimes I have seen him gaze at the picture of Napoleon Above his desk, but I bare never asked him what his thoughts were. But his talk is always of saving men’s lives.

An of iter es the New Yorh State PoKct is approaching him on a motorcycle. Adams had left a Con necticut town just after midnight to search for Connemara Moore, who had suddenly disappeared a few hours hefore. Connemara whs to have an nounced her engagement to him—or to Bistg Carrington—hut didn’t. Adams had barely reached Lang Island when he was "held np.“ CHAPTER XVn—Continued Salt caught Ms breath. Then he, grinned abruptly and In spite of himself. In the movies and in books, the thought flashed through his brain, the man who came along to save the day was always a mem ber of the Royal Northwest Mount ed. Well, here was the day being saved, and by the nearest thing to the Motmties that the forty-eight states have yet produced. The trooper saw Salt as he came abreast of him and brought his ma chine to a slithering stop with an ominous grating of two outspread boots against the pavement. The newcomer stared a moment, fn the \ manner of one who had momentar- I ily forgotten his breeding, wriggling | his motorcycle backward the while in that disconcerting fashion of a cop who desires converse and in formation. Presently the trooper spoke. "What’s the big idea?” he asked. His tone gave Salt a sinking and definite impression that what the ! gentleman wanted to know was pre- S cisely what he had outlined, to wit: I the nature of the big idea. ‘ "|—lVe been to si masquerade.” Now Saltonstall Cabot Adams, | lor one is a Saltonstall and a Cabot and an Adams however one’s ap pearance may point to the contrary, had been ready to make something of a speech; not an address, exact ly, but at least a dignified and rounded summary of his identity, as it affected him, the situation as it affected the others who had been m his party —in short, the night’s Story. But looking into the troopr er’s cold blue eye he found himself stammering inconsequentially: **l_rve been to a masquerade. **Oh, is that so?” queried the oth er with a slight lifting of his eye brows. “Where’was this here, now, masquerade—-on the mud flags? "£r—er—l tell you!” . , “And do they have ’em fa the’ morning now?” The trooper's voice changed. “Step out here, yon, it, commanded briskly, “and let's look yon over.” Salt stepped. , | “What do you think yon're dress ed as?” the trooper bWked. •■■Why—why, as an ©babdthan ■gentleman.” “Lissie who? Say, son, yon look more like the devil. My God, toj think I’d ever see a grown man in bright red tights!” The trooper began 4o smile. “I guess you don’t' look filt* you’ll harm anybody— much. Roll home, buddy, and sleep it off. Rotten stuff you get nowa days, ain’t it? Where do you live, anyway?” Salt gulped. “Stamford, Con necticut," he said. j “Stamford —what? Way across the Sound?” The trooper started to laugh, but abruptly his eyes nar ,rowed. “What’s that you’ve got in lyour hand?” he demanded, i The young man held out the coil' of auburn hair. His own face red jdened as he did so. ' : “Say, what are you, anyway?” 'the trooper wanted to know. 1 !■■■ - ■' U»_L-U-b- Want Members of the Asheville Midi Efforts will be iuade to get the names of 25,000 people on the peti tion to be presented to Governor Me t*aa ae*hMMtA)tl»o imrdon or. paroje of the 15 men'who' wire’given prison and chain gang sentences for par , ticipsting In the masked on the Buncombe jail in Heptember in au effort to get Alvin Mousel, negro rap ist, it is reported.* Oil which a tofhl of 13,250 signatures have been af fixed.

Say, nowl” He| 1 leaped from his machine and with 1 three" swift double taps satisfied himself that Salt had no weapoej concealed upon his person. And then Saltonstall Cabofj Adams began to plead. “She gave | it to me,” he kept repeating. “1 tell you she gave it to me.- And] we lost her and followed her in a boat, and there was a fight and I hjd to Push her off in the mud——” “You mean you pushed the young lady off in the mud?” “No, the boat, I tell you. I push ed the boat off.” “And then somebody bigger’n you pushed you off. Is that it?” “Yes,” Salt Hed desperately, "that’s it We Were all drunk, I guess. I just woke up a little while ago, back there in the woods.” The young man’s face was reddening even more deeply. In spite of his concern a voice of conscience shouted with in him that he was speaking an un-, truth, and a louder voice of pride made him squirm internally because he, whose initials were S. C. A., was actually pleading with a menial. Still.-any thing was better than go ing to jail. The policeman was studying him intently. Tentatively Salt asked, “Which way is the Greenwich ferry? I’ll walk there. I can get across some how.” / "H’m!” mused the trooper. “No, I guess you’re not takin’ up. You’re what I thought you were-- just a harmless boob. The ferry’s that way.” He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. “And I’ll bet you have a string of kids seven miles long behind you before you get there. Move your dogs, buddy, before I change my mind.” Salt moved. When he reached Bayville, hungry and tired and thirsty, but unconscious of it all be cause of the utter humiliation and wretchedness attendant upon the laughter and taunts and gibes that had followed his every step, he made for the farthest corner of the ferry -pier. The sky was blue and the sun was bright and warm, the water danced with the care-free sparkle of a mellow summer’s day. But Saltonstall Cabot Adams saw nothing of this. Aside from a hid-. mg place and complete extinction, there was one thing and one only that he desired. He wanted a cigar- t ettc. He had none, and he could not bring himself to try to beg. Yes, he wanted a smoke., He would have given fifty dollars on the spot for that. He had no idea where anybody was, and at the present moment he did not much care. He did not even know that his nine-mile pilgrimage had taken him past the very en trance ' gates of the house where Connemara and the rest of them had fallen together. But even that would have interested him little-.-In , spite of his need for help. Salt had been in no mood to drop in at any body’s house. What he wanted now was to get home—and to his owh proper clothes. He did not even know-that at that very moment he was missing a per fectly good ride in a perfectly good ; automobile. Lacy and Connemara had return ed rather soberly from their unsuc cessful hunt for the buried fifty thousand, to find that Aunt Celi mena, having regained that miracn-; lous composure which is breathed {into any right-minded woman by the accessibility of a dressing table Ad the presence of a miVror, had once more suddenly become her old self. The company recognized this by a certain lift of her eyebrows. It was a lift that Connemara knew well. Said Aunt CeHmena with deci sion: “We shall now go home.” "Suits me,” said Sweetie, “as long as I stick with the party. Where’s home ?” Aunt Celimena looked languidly past and through her interrupter. “Mr. Lacy,’ r she pursued, “will you tell me where I can secure a motor? I desire my niece ’back to Moorelands. If Constance Mary insists upon the presence of this’’—she transfixed Sweetie with a glare—“of this young woman, I suppose I shall have to take her a* well. And I want Bing to come, ’because I shall not sleep a wink to night unless there is 9 man in the house.” “HOw about me?” David asked ■with a grin. “Don’t I qualify?” (To be continued) u-.-im.ujiij.
