F. Amos at the hand of Mr. ii W. L. Bryan appealed to us more fi than any of those who have been il entered on our books for some time. Mr. Amos is getting very old and in a vJJ fact the Democrat had in a way lost sigh! of him. And we are- glad to know as his >ther friends in Watauga will be, that he is still living and e -anxious for the news from the coun F ty in which he labored so long. Hie h address is Sandy Pidge, N.

THE WATAUC Would Have Everyone Examined on Birthday r . ? i I The idea of having: a. thorough j I physical examination ever so often j as a means of stasriny- off the more! p serious diseases and thus prolonging: j lift, has not been abandoned; on .hej contrary it has gained strerg'th. X< .he idea has the hacking; of tfc* Nat-j i i'?Y?a! Health Cjuncir a c-.-'iiv. at ion I I > '? the ^iv.r.t -l i: ligations in America. So convinced is this erroup of ac- \ | tive health organizations that the j periodic he.Jib CTChwinatSs is one I of the best methods yet devisee. fcr }' I ;>.-ever lir.g sickness one" death and J at the same tim . for increaso n one's j' I happiness and u-efuir.es> that it will enaeavor in the next twelve months j I to persuade every person in the Uri' t< d States to he examined by a ? 1 utabic physician. This is to be done with a view to finding: the condition of his health now and determiningj so far as possible what it will fee a few years hence. The counci hopes! that at least- 10.000,000 person s: say ?0,000 a day will have the.nsrlves examined during the next twelve | months and suggests that ever*should be examined on his birthday j if possible. One of the thirteen health organizations* endorsing this plan of having a health examination once r. month is the National Tuberculosis Association. I?' this way tuberculosis could ' be detected in its most curable stage \ The North Carolina Tuberculosis! A -sociation approve s of this most j i> artiiy and a!.-o tin* North '.arolinaj Sanitarium, and they v. i be glad j [ to cooperate so far as possible in tl c so examinations.

U- -piseri political division of the Ur.-l iled States on being asked at a *e?:' party where he had been horn, replied. sadly: "Madam I am obliged 1 to confess that I came from that state whic his oni> a geographical necessity to fill in the place between the illustrious states of Virginia arc Sooth Carolina." But times are uI-! tered. The Savannah Press, whose!, editor is still alive as we write, pub-! lished this editorial; "North Carolina is a perfect state. That's about all the Georgia legisla-; tnre has had thrown at it since i: gait its session two weeks ago. It j j is pure speculation wh it the House and the Senate would have had to talk about had it not been for North Carolina. The legislators aie told severia tmws daily what a great state it is. lis tax measures are nerfect. its laws are i delight its prosperity is marked, and its folks happy. Committee meetings are filled with speech es praising North Cnrulinu. Ir is difficult to see how some Georgians keep 1 from moving up there. The North Carolina tax act is reportf d as being a perfect measure for gathering coir, and the same time helping industries. There are more cotton spindles in North Carolina than in G eorgia There is more happiness in the hills, of Buncombe county than in the hills I and valleys of Habersham and Hall.' Nobody has a word of criticism for North Carolina and its method of taxing the folks and keeping them in good humor. If this Legislature don't put Georgia in the North Carolina class before the first of September it will not be from lack of advice to that effect.'* It needs the pen of Joscphus Dan-! ieis to write the tarheels' acknowledgment of this unconditional sur-; render. More abject would this sur-: render be if it were printed in the. Atlanta newspapers which acknowledges no superiors; but such as i: is. the North Carolinians may well accent it with satisfaction, knovimr well that this one neighboring state now looks not backward, but forward to where, setting the pace to progress' are the flying tar heels. ?New York !
