' salts of Efforts Covering;-, Last . v Three and One-Half Yearn '.. 5 Embodying the results of a period of study of the malaria problem in Wilmington, with, reference to the lo cation of cases, extending ovejva" per iod covering , the past three arid one half years, a new map has been pre pared at the health department which shows the . location of every reported case 'of - malaria since ' September 1st, 1911,-and also the improperly and im perfectly drained sections of the city. The grouping of the . cases shows strikingly and clearly the influence1 of impropeV drainage in . the transmission of this 'disease! In v the improperly drained areas small pools of water and stagnant places in the ditches, which are covered with grass and weeds, af ford opportunities for the breeding of the ' Aiiophelese mosquito, through whose bite malaria is transmitted. The efforts that have been madeby the health department to control the spread of malaria during the past four years have been directed chiefly to se curing drainage of low-lying places and places where water accumulates. In addition the screening of houses has been urged and encouraged; the screen ing of all cases of malaria has been re quired; the sanitary police have been instructed especially with reference to the destruction of discarded vessels which might contain water in which mosquitoes could breed, roof gutters have also received especial attention and the public has been advised and urged to use prophylactic doses of qui nine. Also, all pools of water and sand traps to street drains have been oiled with a special preparation for the pur pose during the past two summers at intervals of from 10 to 15 days. The results of this work, as shown by the records of the department, have been very gratifying. In the1 four months in 1911, September 1st to De cember 31st. shown on the map, 79 cases of malaria were reported. Dur ing the-year of 1912, in all 122 cases of malaria were reported, and in 1913 a total of 44 cases. The year of 1914 shows 54 cases reported, and for the first five months of thfs' year, but six cases of malaria have been reported. It is the intention of the health de partment to continue the efforts for the control of malaria along the same lines that have proven so efficacious during the past three and a half years with the hope of ultimately practically eradicating malaria in Wilmington. LOCAL DOTS. The Hill Directory Company, of Richmond, 'Va., has advised the Wil mington Chamber of Commerce that the new directory will be ready for deliv ery to subscribers on June 7th. A new feature .of the directory will be the street guide, which will prove of great usefulness to subscribers. In a letter to the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, Mr. W. H. Tay loe, passenger traffic manager, , of the "ther" Railway nas areed to lve folder maps of this road. He says that he will be glad to co-operate in every way possible to give such, publicity to Wilmington as can be done consistent ly. Justice Harriss has left judgment open until today in a case in which Mr. T. H. Wright and A. G, Ricaud-, Esq., are charged with engaging in an affray on Princess street between Front and Second. The two men had a dispute over a business matter and came, to blows. They were placed under arrest by Constable Davis, who happened to be near them, and parted them' before either was hurt. it actually works at hundreds pf tasks daily "Let the Gold Dust Twins do your work" is much more than a popular phrase.

J.,.A. 7 Williams, -of Sonthport, Talks Interestinslr of Richmond Confederate .'Reunion. r Capt. J. A. Williams, of Sotlthport, was in Wilmington yesterday en route home from the Confederate, Reunidn; in Richmond, Va. He. says that Richmond is entertaining the veterans on a royal scale and is giving them the time of their livens. He enjoyed every minute pf his stay in the capital of the Confed eracy, where thousands of Lee's and Jackson's men met and recalled the historic, days of the War Between the States. ' Captain Williams has just passed the 71st milestone of an eventful Uf e but is: yet hale and hearty enough to know how to enjoy life. He was a member of Company G, Third North Carolina Cavalry,, and carried-vto Richmond on his trip to the Reunion a war time leave ' of . absence fpr 27 days, which was issued by : the dashing Gen. W. H. F. -Lee, son of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Captain Williams got a leave of ab sence" on1 January 30, 1865, to come home to get a horse but when he reached Wilmington the Federals had captured Fort Fisher and had occu pied this city. He "was made a prison er by the Federals and consequently could not return; to the service in Vir ginia. . . " -. ' Since the war, Captain Williams has been a Cape Fear pilot, and is still in active service. He knows the ocean lanes and the bar and the river chan nel as if he had charted them himself and probably there is nd man living who is better acquainted with the port and the commercial history of Wil mington. He recalls the good old time and says he remembers that at one time 60 square rigged ships stood in the harbor tn this port in addition to barks, barkentines, brigs, brigantines, schooners and sloops. - , The days of sailing vessels were great, he says, and he believes the old times were better than these days of still steam ships which probably carry as' much as 20 square riggers in the days when Wilmington was the world's greatest naval stores port. DAIRY EXPERT COMING. Mr. Stanley Combs, of Agricultural De partment, Will Meet Farmers. ' In response to a request from Mr. J. P. Herring, county farm demonstrator, and a number of farmers 'and others who are interested in establishing a co operative creamery in New Hanover county, Mr. Stanley Combs, assistant to Mr. Alvin J. Reed, in chargje of the dairying department of the North Car olina Agricultural Department, will be in Wilmington tomorrow to confer with those interested in the project. - It is possible that a public meeting will be held later in the week at which Mr. Combs will make an address.
