C., JUNEA6, 1916. \ ~ NO. 22 ? '' i ? HID HI n pi WORK WILL BKOIN AT ONCE D, L Thomas it Awarded the Con tract (or Erection of The Plan ters' Warehouse?$7300 Contract Price?To Be Rushed to Early Completion. * The contract for the building of llm new tobacco warehouse in Aboskie has been awarded to D. L. rhomaa, a local contractor and builder. Bids were submitted by several contractors at a meeting of the building Committee one night but week, and the bid of Mr. Thomas, $7,300, waa accepted by the commjttee. Work on the new building will begin juat as so?n as the material and fixtures can be purchased and put on the sile^ The mere fact that Mr. Thomas wilt have charge of the construc tion insures a quick job, and it is boped tbat it will be completed in time for the fall opening. As previously announced in a special article in this paper, the new warehouse will be built of brick, and will be 150 feet long by 100 feet wide, which will pro vide for 2200 square feet more flqor space than the old Rasnight Warehouse. It will be situated on a lot uear the llasniglit Ware bouse, on what is now the Ahos kie baseball park. It has also been announced by the Building Com mittee that a spur track will be laid out In the platform of the new building so as to provide better shipping facilities for the buyers, who heretofore had to haul their grated tobacco several blocks to the Coast Line station. The build ing will be modern in every way, and everything possible will be done to make out pf the proposed building a substantial and at llie same time convenient warehouse. W ith two large warehouses here and a larger acreage of Uibabco already planted and growing in tins section, Ahoekie's stock as a first class tobacco market will take a rapid ascension?and in the right direction. This means that this town will be one of the best tobacco markets in the small towns of Eastern North Carolina. The necessity of shipping tobacco to the markets of the larger towns will bo longer exist, for the tobac co raisers of this part of the state can rest assured that everything will be done to make it a live mar ket, and the two warehouses can accommodate all of the tobaaco raised in this section. . With the addition of this new warehouse which will of necessity mean spirited competition, will come a larger host of buyers, rep resenting practically all of the larger manufacturers. Mr. C. H? Phaup, who wrtl have charge of Basnigfat Warehouse, has already announced tbat Jie has secured two additions to the list of buyers seen on the floor of that warehouse last sesson- And there are some new faces to be seen on the floor of the Planters Warehouse. With the addition of the new warehouse and several new buyers, Aboskie will livei) up just as soon as the tobac co season opens, which we suppose will be some time near the latter part of the'month of August or the first of the following mouth, September.

Hill, Imtrnctor. The University of North Caro lina has arranged courses of post graduate study for practicing phy sicians,'Vn their home towns. To bring post graduate medical instruction to the doors of North Carolina doctors is s new but prac tical plan recently worked out bv the University ?f North Carolina and the State Board of Health, in the interest of the physicians of this stale. The plan in general is to put within financial and physi cal ipach of the general oractition ef the means whereby be may be come acquainted with the latest and best methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases and know the latest advances made in scientific medicine, and meanwhile ata.v in his practice. This can be ?done, according to the University au thorities, by bringing the instruc tor to the physicians instead of the reverse, which has proven almost impossible for the average physi cian. For tho sum of thirty dol lars a member, which is less than one twelfth of what it would cost a nhysican to take even a summer course at some distant school, to say nothing of the practice he would permanently lose meanwhile to his competitor, the University has arranged a class of post-grad uate study to start June 5 with seventy or more doctors as mem bers. DISEASES OF CHILDREN The first class, which is a course in the diseases of children, will embrace sections in the towns of Raleigh, Weldon, Turboro, Wil son, Goldsboro. and Selma. On Mondays the lecturer will meet bis class in Raleigh; on Tuesdays, in .Weldon; on Wednesdays, in Tarboro; on Thursdays, in Wilson on Fridays, in Goldsboro; and on Saturdays, in Seluca, At each place he will give a one-hour lec ture followed by a two hour clinic, and the class will be continued for seventeen weeks, closing Septem ber 23. Proper academic credits will be given the physicians who attend 85 per cent of the lectures aud clii.ics by the University. Dr. Louis Webb Hill, of Boston, Massachusetts, who will be the in structor of the class, is eminently fitted for his position. He is a graduate of Harvard University and sn honor graduate of Harvard University Medical School. He has given service in the Massachu setts Geneial Hospital.in the Floating Hospital, in the Chil dren's Hospital, and has had charge of one of the Boston Milk and Baby Hygiene Stations. He is at present assistant to Dr. Morse in the Out-Patient Depart ment of the Children's Hospital in Boston. Dr. Hill is author of a small book on diabetes, and a number of important uapefs on scientific medicine. Just recently he has written a book on labora tory methods in the diagnosis of diseases of children, . which will soon come from the press. RELATION OP GOOD ROADS TO GOOD HEALTH VITAL President of National Highway Aa i sociation Says Good Roads Are Conducive to Bet ter Health. That good roads are conducive to good healtlf is one of the best arguments advanced by Mr, Charles Henry Dayis, C. E.. nres ident of the National Highway As sociation,Hp ^avor of good roads: He savsf "Given the tame density Depopu lation. the town with better roads has the smallest percsntage both of disease and deaths. When statistics show this almost invari CLUB IBIBBRS PLANNING FOR THE COMING SEASON Mr. T. E. Brown* State* Enrollment in Pif and Poultry Club* lot Thi* Year la Very Pleasint Boy* and Girl* Are Goin| Ahead With Their Work. , '"From cards received from the boys iu answer to Mime questions sent out in a circular letter, and from our %erS>nal"/'vi8ita to the field, we afe very much gratified with the earnestness with which the boys arid girls have taken hold of the club work this year," says Mr. T, E. Browne. ' On visits paid to the field it is the exception to find the boy who is not going ahead with bis work. He either has com up and growing, or is making excellent preparation for planting. "In the pig club works large majority qf.the members have their pigs or are securing them as rapidly as the dealers can supply them. Next season this obstacle will be removed, ay the members will be able to supply themselves from their own breeding stock. The .banks and business men sre continuing their iocal support and up to date have supplied the Pig Club members with about $5,000 worth of pure-bred animals. A large number of these were put an the endles*<hein basis, whi ch will mean a large increase in aid for next year. "The Poultry Club members are busily engaged in caring for the broods of chicks according to in structions sent them by the Poul try Club agent. More of the first reports have come in than ever be fore, and interest in the work con tinues to grow. "The most encouraging fact in regard to the club movement is that, more than ever in its history, the members are realixiitg that the greatest value in being a club member is in becoming more in telligent farmers, in learning how to raise corn, pigs, chickens, and peanuts, or whatever they are growing, according to the most approved modern methods. These boys are becoming students in as true a sense as if tliey were reg ularly matriculated college men." ably the case, there must be some connection between good roads health. > "It is true that a town with good roads is a progressive town with a health board that is corres pondingly well Informed and alert but it is also true that good roads haye directly contriijuted to the progressive spirit. In short, mon ey has rolled in over their well kept surfaces. Through them the town has become wealthier and wiser, and belter health protec tion is a natural result." Again he says: "A community to be wholly healthy'must not be a "queer" community. It must take a sane interest in its business, and the relation of its business to the outside w\rld. It must mix with other people beside its own immediate neighbors. In other wor^s, it munt come out of itself and to do tfans it must look to its roads, V "Where the roads are heavy, narrow, muddv and impassable, the community becomes segregat ed; a quiet backwater, quaint, but useless in our national progress, and sometimes queei and danger ous. It becomes the breeding place for insanity and pervieion, a cancerous and vexed spot of mental ills and moral contagion that spreads >s rapidly and leaves as sanguinary effects as any of the epidemics known to medicine."
