Lexington Vilns at Home' From Spen-

Wins at Home.
Lexington, Asheboro and Spencer
were, all, eliminated from the state
wide debate Friday night, when each
school lost and won. The Lexington
team of the affirmative, Charles Hack
ney and Stafford Fooshe, won -here
from the Spencer negative team com
posed pf Miss Gladys Young and Will
Powell. The judges were Mrs. John
T. Lowe and Attorneys E. E. Raper.J
xue decisions was oy a two to one
vote, the same -vote by which the Lex
Ington. negative team composed of
Aliases Helen McCrary and Pauline
Boozer lost to the affirmative at Ashe
boro. "The Asheboro team was com
posed of Roy Berry and Robert Bunch.
The Spencer affirmative team won at
Spencer from the negative team of
Asheboro. ; ", ---m -f-'
Thus it appears 'that the prepared
mess side of the - question holds the
best argument, for from reports from
over tne state the wins . were on the
side of preparedness - by an - over
whelming majority. Only exceptional
ly strong teams on the negative side
were-. winners, . although . enough
schools remain in the final debate at

Quite a Num' t of Cases Reported la
. Eastern J'i Mson and Randolph
. -rN t :rantlne Law. ';
Quite a number of cases of small
pox are reported from eastern David
son, mostly in the vicinity of Canaan
school, lust north of Denton.. : The
malady is also in evidence across the1
line in .Randolphs Early last week
Dr. Asbury, county health officer of
Randolph, reported , that there were
thirty-nine cases in Randolph alone,
while there v t re more in Davidson,
according to his estimate. , Dr. E. F.
Long, of Denton, who has been elected
health officer for Davidson to take ef
fect July 1, is i i charge of the vacci
nation campalpttnow going on there,
He reported a , v days ago that Quite
a number of v ea of the disease-hod
been found in Davidson, "although it
was his opinion that it was more prev
alent between '. -e Davidson line and
Farmer. ' :.i'-- v, v-i? .'
. The state quarantine law' was re
pealed by the 1 islature several years
ago, but it is 1 l, within the power of
the health boar --.a of the counties and
towns to mako their own quarantine
laws.. However; no quarantine pre
cautions have 1 en taken in regard to
the -situation tuere, and -there wilt
probably be nine unless the disease
assumes the nature of an epidemic.
However, a ch ip and effective reme
dy is easily available through vacci
nation, and nu ny-are taking advan
tage of the opportunity. Anyone hav
ing business in the section where the
contagion eixH had better be on the
safe side and be vaccinated. The dis
ease" as It appears in Davidson seems
to be of a mild form, and it was' at
first thought that those affected were
only suffering from chickenpox, hence
it became rather widely spread before
any attempt-was made to check it.
There is a story to the effect that it.
was brought to the Canaan communi
ty by a lad who ran away from quar
antine in High Point and came to the
Jiome ot relatives there, -where he
broke out and infected some of the
school children and thus spread
quickly over th ! community,, .-. .

, Fruit Trees Are Dying.
No one disputes the fact that all
fruit trees are dying at a frightful
rate- each year, and if the present
death-rate keeps up it. will only be a
matter of a few years until we have
no fruit Since this is a fact there is
no use grumbling about it, no use say
ing that there was a time when we
could have fruit but we had best look
around for some means of controlling
the trouble. Last year the flre-bllght,
or twig blight, was the worst It has
been for years and some of our pear.
trees were completely killed. The
only means of controlling this is to
watch your trees and cut off the twigs
as soon as the trouble occurs, being
careful to cut well back ot the dead
tissue.- A great, deal of damage has
been done by the blight, but a far
larger number bf the trees are being
killed by .the scale and other parasitic
growths on the bark of the tree. On
another page of this issue of The Dis
patch there is an article giving dire -
tions for spraying various trees, giv
ing the time, etc. This is the program
recommended by the various depart
ments and used by successful orch
ards all over the country. It wpuld
be a good Idea to cut this out and
keep where you can refer to It when
ever yon wish. " '

Are You Among the Leaders! lev
Have the Opportunity of Pushing; -,
. Yourself Cp Rapidly. '
The working time in our Big Liva
Stock Campaign is not so long now
as it once was by a number of weeks,
but there is yet time for you to como
to the front and boost ybUr standing
until you are a leader. In several ot
the districts very little work has been
done, considering the opportunities
offered. There is no other way in
which you .might secure one of these
valuable prizes so easily. Just a few
hours work each day will turn the
trick easily. Six fine bulls, twelvo
separators, fifty trips . to Catawba.
There they are. They are worth the
effort .
Here are the standings to date.
