Wheth er or not the Virginia league will eon timie intact, will be decided at call meeting of the directors to be held in Norfolk tonight at 7 o'clock. The meet- ini. was called at the request of-, its Hopewell club, winch is understood to have determined' to surrender its -fran- chize. LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE ON TO NORFOLK President W. S. Move, of the Hocky Mount baseball club, left bv the after noon tram today for Norfolk, where he goes Ho attend a called meeting of the irginia league directors, which, is to be held at the Mouticello Hotel .tonight. It is understood that- the main point at issue is what disposition is to be made of he Hopewell club, which it is de- lared, is now in a bad state ot finances and which to date, has not paid its dave.ls for the service since July 1. Little is known here as to w hat course will be taken and with five chilis insist ing that piny shall continue, it jnay be worked out that Owner Brinllev, of the II npewell .-bib may merely desire to' linage It -to. some other point.

Ks- jieciallv in the light of the fni that the Carolina, league may die. a -natural death tonight at the meeting in Greensboro. Mr. Bradley, ' who heads the proposition at .Hopewell is none other than the former owner of a Vir ginia league franchise in 'Richmond and he placed the franchise in the Magic Cit y a wn-rrtttg-t- poMkle oppwUnfty to claim lUchmoiid, in the instance the International league might fold its tents and depart from that city. It is hardly- thought that the Hope well club may tender its franchise., to' the league as this .would -mean the for feit of the if 1 ,'IUO paid irt-4o-he -league president as n guarantee that they would finish the season. .This amount is not incuiiiiiereu in any sence, nave with the failure of Norfolk to be pe.id its guarantee on its last visit, namely loii, and this may be Norfolk's loss.

Campaign The anti-typhoid campaigns in Ala mance and Mecklenburg counties are record-breakers. The campaigns have been, running only two weeks of the lour originally alloted. . In Alamance 1,;H!5 started the treat ment the first week. The second week 1,8:S2 others sfarted the treatment. It Jakes three trcatinnts' about a week apart to confer immunity to typhoid. In fact so much interest has been aroused in Alaiiiaiice that it has just been de cided to continue , the ctunpaigu one week longer in that county in order to accommodate those who failed to avail themselves of 'their opportunities the first two weeks. In Mecklenburg .county 3,120 started the treatment the first week while 2, ft." additional personea'pplied for the treatment the second week. According to the State Board, of Health, the reason so many people in the various counties fail to avail thorn selves of their opportunity to be im - mamwd - against - typhoid free is that they ore afraid the treatment will hurt, that it will make jhem sick or cause a big open sore. . When once they see that no serious results follow they, too, .will avail themselves of the free offer. FALLS FROM WINDOW IN HIS SLEEP Durham, July 21. H. E.
