Japan Trying To Beat Germany
To Toy Trade.
Hope to Crowd Germans From
Chinese tad American Markets.
Not content, any* the Japan
Times, with worsting Germany in
arms, Japan ia trying to beut her
in the toy trade ?Uo. How great
ia the determination of her toy
merchant* and how strong their
confidence in.their ultimate victory
ia shown by what the chairman of
the Tokio Wholesale Merchants'
guild baa to say.
The two great fields where they
are trying to extend their activity
are China and America. The fact
that Japanese and Chinese are
"coracial* and colitenHs" make*
Chin* k highly promising field for
the toy merchants here.
Their very origin entitle* Japa
nese toys to be regarded at great
curiosities by the Chinese, so that
their manufacturer* need exercise
but little ingenuity to make the
goods suitable for the Chinese
market.
trie cue is not So simple with
America, however, where juvenile
tastes or inclinations are very dif
ferent from those in Japan. And
yet the naueity of the varieties of
toys ordered from beyond the
Pacific has been more than com
pensated for by their value in dol
lars, so that America has been
Japan's best customer in juvenile
playthings.
"Germany is not the unique toy
tnaker she is commonly supposed
to be in our country," says the
chairman. "They do not know
the actual condition of the trade
who say that Japan can not even
dream of equaling, mush less ex
celling, Germany in the production
of ingenious playthings.
"At Nank^pg and Hankow, for
instance, it appears to be generally
recognized that Japanese toys are
not only equal to the German ones
in quality, but are decidedly
cheaper and therefore yreferable.
"It is true that German articles
are used for window shows; but
they never Sell. Those that sell
best are Japanese toys sold at
second and third rate stores, litis
is but natural, considering their
price and quality.",?E*.

More Anti-Typhoid Work.
Five more counties have provid
ed for anti typhoid fever cam
paigns this summer. This is both
surprising and gratifying to the
State Health authorities. It is ex
pected tiiat other counties would
decide to have such campains after
work in the first set of five coun
ties had gotten under way. Edge
combe. Halifax, Iredell, Wilson
and Wayne didn't wait. Now it
develops that several other coun
ties were quietly planning to offer
to co-operate with the State Board
of Health a little later, but the
limited funds of the' State will
probably prevent further anti
typhoid work this summer. Free
anti-typhoid vaccine and free anti
typhoid literature will continue to
be distributed.
Work in Wake. Buncombe.
Henderson, Northampton and
Cumberland will begin June 21
and continue six weeks. It is ex
pected that from five to ten
thousand people in each of these
counties will avail themselves of
the free treatment.
A Doctor'* Prescription for Cough An
Effective t ough Treatment.
One-fourth to one teaspoonful
of Dr. King's New Discovery,
taken as needed, will soothe and
check Couirhs, Colds and the more
dangerous Bronchial and Lung
Ailments. You can't afford to
take the risk of serious illness,
when so cheap and simple a re
medy as Dr. King's New Discov
ery is obtainable. Go to you Drug
gist to-day, get a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discover, start the
treatment at once. You will be
gratified for the relief and cure
obtained. Adv.

Medics Meet.
State Society in Session in Green*'
boro.
Tbe State Medical Society is in
session in Greensboro for three
days this week. The meeting be
gins on Tuesday. On Monday pro
ceeding, the meeting will be on a
one-day session of the Slate Health
Officers' Association. Dr. B.
McBrayer, of Sanatorium, is pre
sident of the Health Officers' As
sociation.
Many new phases of modern
medicine will be discussed. It is
exoected that the Society will
adopt somd -strong measures
against the narcotic drug evil
which seems to be rapidly on the
increase in North Carolina.
Wanted to be Intoxicated.
Many and varied are the ques
tions being naked beaitli officers
tbeae d?.vs about antityphoid
vaccination. The newest one to
floor ua from a very unassuiping
man who queried aa follows, "Say.
kin you all-l I, kin you all intoxi
cate me for typhoid ?"
J. W. DAVENPORT, ESQ.
This strong young lawyer of
Windsor spent several hours in
Ahnakie, on legnl business, last
Friday.
Mr. Davenport is easily one of
the best lawyers in the Stale to
say nothing of the short time he
lias been at the bar and his legal
brethren have accorded him a high
place in the profession without
question. He is a wise counsilor
and an astute manager of a legal
contest.
Last year the democrats of
Bertie made him Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
and his management showed that
lie pose8.-68 a keen insight in
politics. The Herald has its eye
on this rising young gentleman
and the public had as well taice
knowledge of his growth.

Architects have submitted plans
for a handsome school building to
be erected on the site bought for
the Farm Life Scliooh?The* plans
of the Architects and the funds of
the Board however do not make
connection, so the Board will
jpither arrange for additional funds
or ask for bids on a less expensive
building. It is probable that more
funds will be secured, and the in
tention is to have the building
ready for the fall term.
Mr. B. J. Dunning has returned
fiom Florida where he sold over
17,000 acres of timber land for his

It is with sincere regret that the
