Shelton. of White Rock, was seriously hurt wjien an unisually heavy charge of dynamite ex. * ploded prematurely as uie men were leaning.over the place in which the jxplosive had been placed, in a remote lection of Madison county. All three men were employed by the State in '.he construction of a highway through jne of the most inaccessible secpons t^f the mounta!?s. and were engaged it the time the explosion occurred, in removing'rock from the right of way iv.th dynamite. Capps was literally blown to pieces by the force of the explosion which, happened shortly after the first members of the highway force reached the scene of operation. Rector and Shelton were brought here' to the French Sroad Hospital about 3 o'clock, and the former died at 5:30 o'clock. Reports from the hospital indicated that Sfielton was suffering from a broken lejg, numerous bruises and lacerations, but that there whs a chance for him to recover if no complications set in. Efforts to learn details of the acci!den met with little success because of the remote section in which the explosion occurred. It 'is understood, however, that the men had placed a very heavy charge of dynamite to re move an unusually stubborn ltdge of rock and that in placing the explosive a piece of rock was dislodged and fell into the place that had been drilled for the dynamite. It was Thought that in attemping to remove this obsruction so as to continue the setting of the fulminating caps was struck causing the detonation, of the expio sive that had been placed in large quantities.

The department classifies as consolidated or large elementary schools, ;hose having sever or more teachers. It has recently been making a study of the elementary schools, beginning with the "little rod schoolhouse," or the one-teacher school, and running through the list of schools with two, three, four, fivrf, a id six teachers. It found there i.rt 1,468 white oneteacher schools in rural North Carolina; 1,279 two-t >acher schools; 1,173 schools with from three to six teachers, and 26? large elementary or consolidated schools, making a total of 4,188 rural-elemtntary schools' in the state Fifi y thousand children are enrolled in th< one-teacher schools, eighty thousand n schools with two teachers; 150,000 In schools with from three to six teachers, and 101,000 in the large schools The daily cost per pupil was fixed at 10.7 cents in the one-teacher school; 121 cents in the two-teacher school; 13 cents in the f chools with three ,to six teachers; and 12.5 cents in the consolidated schools.

Die From Lack of Medical Attention. Statistics compiled by Dr. M. U Townsend, director of education, of the State Board of Health, reveal that 5 515 persbns died in North Carolina during the calendar year of 1924 without any medical attention whatsoever. '*he total number of deaths in the State in 1924 reached a total of 33,2li4. and the per cent of unattended deaths was 16 5. "TTie only actual reason I then for 'these attended< deaths is a matter of ignorance and carelessness," stated Dr. Townsend |in discussing the large number of people, who failed to call in a physician to prescribe for them. Doctor Townsend further stated that he saw no reason whatsoever for any resident of N^rth Carolina not being able to secure the services of a physician. "Even the ' poverty-stricken poor could get the; attention of a doctor.1' Continued Dr. Townsend, "since no repuable physician of the State would knowingly refuse to administer to a destitute person."
