educational leath rs are now no
(less thoroughly aroused to its
importance i hau our physicians
themselves. I
There is indeed great hope for J
our Southern country in this dis
covery, i' or generations we hnvoi
Had a class of people ol the best
stock that the world ktioivs, "the
purest Anglo Saxon blood in A-
merica, as we nave prou'lly
claimed, aud yetstrangely niark-
d ami by such inertia and un-
progressiveness as to excite the
comment of all t raveleis and stu
dents of society. Travelers from I
other sections observing them
have always explained the trou
ble upon either one ot the other
of two theories, both alike hurt
ful and discreditable to the
South. The first theory has been
that, these people are hopelessly
degenerate, and the second has
been tlmt the climate of the
South was hopelessly unhealthy.
Dr. Stiles's discovery s h o w s
that neither one of Micse assump
tions is correct. The trouble is
not the fault either of our cli
mate in itself or of degeneracy in
the character of the people. The
trouble is a physical one caused
by a parasite probably brought
over from Africa by the negroes,
ami wincn can live only m a
warm climate.
If the discovery stopped here,
little good would have been uc
complished, but the good news
goes further. It is not only easy
and cheap to cine a person at
tacked by hook-worm disease,
but it is possible lo stamp out
the trouble entirel v just as we
are exterminating the cat tl lick
in the South, and thereby exter
minating Texas fever, the hook
worm,-like the tick, being a par
asite which can live only in
warm climate, but which science
has at last found a cheap, prac
tical and easy way of combat
ing.
There is nothing discreditable
about having hook-worm disease
The parasite exists in the soil
and any person going bare-footed
may become infected. Chil
dren ot a'l classes are likely there
fore to develop the trouble, and
whetever a boy or girl becomes
sallow-faced, colorless and list
less, especially if there has been
a case of "ground itch," hook
worm disease is probable, and
the simple treatment advised
may not only restore health but
may actually save life. Thous
ands and thousands of chidivu
in the South have undoubtedly
(lit d who miejit have been saved
if Dr. Stiles's discovery had been
made a hundred years ago. A
North Carolina country doctor
reported the other day that of
120 pale persons treated by him,
114 had hook-worm disease.
We mention these things now
simply as preliminary to saying
that Dr. Stiles, whose investiga
tions have given him national
and even international fume.has
prepared The Progressive Farm
er what is perhaps the first com
plete and authoritative state
ment he has ever printed as to
the symptoms, treatment and
prevention of the hook-worm dis
ease, and this article will appear
in an early issue of The Trogres
siveFHiiner, togetherwith a nam
ber of notable and illuminating
illustrations prepared especially
for our paper.
This art icle w ill be one of the
most striking features of t h e
year and should have the earn
est attention of every reader of

agree with their views and votes
or not
Ten years ago, when Senator
Simmons drove out the Republi
cans and Populists united under
one banner for pelf and pie, the
average North Carolinian who
did not know him dismissed him
dismissed him as a political wire
puller and niincompoop, unfit for
anyihing else than to manage a
red-shirt campaign against sou
thern Republicans and their al
lies, which were composed of a
horde of illiterate negroes a n d
several thousand carping popu
lists, but today he is seen in a
different light. His colleagues
point to him as one of the most
forini luble men in Congress. His
everlasting industry, his ever-
ready pugnacity, his never fail
ing courage, physical as well as
moral, and his genius for organ
ization hayo caused him to be
ranked witli the best. Keen in
sight, daring courage and eom
bativeness are his greatest as
sets, lie convinces the onlooker
that he liaseouvictionaiid pluck.
Standing in the open, every day
in the week, he is ready to be
counted. The lenso does not ap
peal to him, nor will he take ref
uge on it in time of distress.
There used to be, and 1 believe
there is yet, something in the
Tar Heel blood that makes a
man admire the fellow who fights
for what lie thinks is right and
does not retreat under fire. In
the campaigns of lftflS and 1900
when a real general was needed,
Simmons was in the saddle, to
which he had been elevated by
crj ing democrats. At that time
many called him a bluffer but
his bitterest, enemy would not
apply that term to him now. He
is anything but a, bluffer. The
fighting spirit is in his bones.
Newspaper men who did not
know that his name was on the
list of senators have become in
terested in Mr. Simmons and
whateves he says is considered
good copy. The brilliant Bailey
compels attention, ami so does
the rugged, original Tillman,
and now ami evermore, the
fighting Simmons.

pose of extending a stretch of ; p:1;Jt.S(1:lilv an(, 30 to 33 pagcs Sun
road over which the scout cars :j:iVi it i,alKiles mole new s matter,
would pass.
"The road, as far as it extend
ed, was already equal to the fa
mous macadam turnpike of the
Shenandoah Valley, and when
Mr. Tults learned that the scouts
would puss that way he adver
tised for the men and teams nec
essary to extend the road still
further.
"It was one ol the most gigan
tic undertakings in the history
of North Carolina, which has al
ready taken a leading position
in this gooil roads work, and as
a consequence more than two
miles of good road were built in
four days and a half.
"Catching the inspiration of
Mr. Tufts' example, the farmers
suspended work and the saw nulls
shut down in order to give every
available employe an oppoit.uni

the scouts came along.
After the wearisome si retches
of bad roads, made worse by the
rains, it was a grateful relict to
come into such an excellent, high
way, and if thecapital-to capital
route is not selected as the offi

of the people of North Carolina
