Referring to the letter published recently in The Gazette-News, from Wlckliffe Rose, secretary of the Rock efeller hookworm commission, com mending the Asheville Health Uulle- tin on intestinal parasites (and cred iting It to another paper, which is get ting to be almost a habit with some of our exchanges) the Charlotte Ob server soys: This well-merited commendation re . minds us that doctors who have given the subject special attention declare no fewer than nine varieties of intesti nal parasites to exist in the south. Of these some are far more difficult to deal with than hookworm and correS' pondingly more difficult to detect. We have heard it stated on unimpeacha ble authority that one of the other eight parasitic conditions. amoebiv dysentery, causes more actual deaths In Charlotte than typhoid. Several of the worst of these parasites are also found in other sections, but none of them should be neglected anywhere and to some extent they undoubtedly form a special problem here. The work recently done at Ashe vllle is useful, therefore, from more than the standpoint of hookworm service alone. It has the special value, too, as Mr. Rose points out, of bringing local .Initiative to bear. The "hookworm doctors" representing Jointly the state boards of health and the Rockefeller commission are per sonally doing an enormous amount of work. But they cannot possibly be expected to do everything. What they most desire is to get the towns and counties aroused. Their principal mis sion is to make plain the need, to show how, to point the way. Unless the work is then taken up locally there can be no adequate measures for the publica tlon as a whole. Obviously the schools are the first and most important point at which to attack parasites of every kind. We consider local efforts whole some for the further reason that they prevent undue reliance upon Uncle John Rockefeller's purse. "Asheville's board of health Is do ing excellent work of many kinds. It is just now sending its meat and milk inspector north to study the lates methods which experience has ap proved. It has not only overcome any special menace which resorting tnva lids might be but has made Asheville one of the best and safest towns from the health standpoint, both for resi dents and visitors, anywhere In the United States. Most useful of all, Is the setting a forward pace for towns throughout North Carolina and be yond. . Next to climate and scenerv, it is the very best asset Asheville has." We believe that it Is the literal truth that the advanced work of th health department Is, next to he cli mate and scenery, the best asset the city has. It Is becoming powerful as an advertising factor, and when plans now working out are perfected will be Immensely more so. The facts con cerning the health work, as stated in the new Board of Trade booklet, con stitute a most valuable addition to the booklet SWATTIXtt 1H. OSIER.

M. C. A. As he said at the commencement of his talk, "I have a longing desire to do young men good. It is a work I have longed to be able to do, for many years. To show young men that they must work out their own character." 'By having a good foundation to build on.

It 'us winter time and 1 had to feed the mules and board the. boys anyway and they wusn't muqh they could be a-doin', as they had the wood all in. I don't know now how many loads of clay and sand we hauled, though I did keep count. The boys kep' at it most all winter. Sometimes they'd quit fer a day er two when they had anything else to do; but in the main they kep' at it. 'First, the kurnel wus disposed to laff, but purty soon I c'd see he's a gettin' to believln', if he wouldn't own to It; I klvver'd his two acres about four Inches deep in sand and mine about the same.

THE SHUNTING ABOUT OF THE TARIFF ISSUE. With the trust evil the cynosure of all eyes, the murderous mood of con gress toward corporations barely lightened by verbal Bwordplay be tween those canny Scots, Carnegie and McGlllcuddy, the utterance of the K'nphua Sphinx which hurshly vibrat ed the air at the Jackson day love feast comes to mind. Judge Parker called the assault on the trusts "a cheat and a nasty fraud" and further said: The statement of Roosevelt that the trust law was impotent was untrue, and you lawyers know it I charge now, and when the opportunity is pre sented and I am asked for facts and figures, will prove it that all of this tirade against the law, the courts and the States was to attract attention away from the truth, and that every bit of the responsibility for the condi tions of today rests upon the Repub lican party. Part of the tirade, perhaps, but not all. Judge Parker may be able to prove his unqualified assertion, but it seems to vt very boudtfuL , Unques tlopalilv there were no few statesmen highly desirous of seeing the assault on corporations confined to resound ing verbiage, but these same state ments were desirous of shielding monopolies from a more vulnerable quarter than dissolutions suits, and th it wm from turllT refjfrm.

Newark News. SOLDIERS MADE IN AMERICA. There is something of Ingratltud in demanding proof of a man who has told an extremely interesting story, and the habit of doing It tends to discourage the production of good fiction. Therefore is addiction to that habit to be avoided, for good Action s scarce, and we need more of it not ess. So Is it with hesitation and ihade of remorse that we draw pub lie attention to one peculiarity of the excellent tale printed yesterday about he training of Chinese rebels In this country by able drill sergeants who have served their time in the United States army. The chief basis of this tale seems to be the fact that the revolutionists In China have more than once held their own against or shown themselves su perlor to 'government forces of the same size. The conclusion is that thl could not possibly have been the case had not the emperor's men, who have had a lot of Instruction In modern warfare from foreign Instructors, been met by revolutionists who have en loyed like advantages. The argument s strictly logical, but a bit weak In ts. premises, for not infrequently the rebels have been defeated exactly as f they had been untrained mobs, an inly occasionally have their victories seemed to be due to anything more than their enormously superior num EMMS 9 f J COUGH SYRUP For coughs, colds, hoarseness, bronchitis, croup, influenza, whooping coug measles cough, and i asthmatlo and con sumptive coughs In all 3tAt,-es ot the disease.

Lehigh Valley and the securities of the tobacco companies almost monop olized speculative interest during the morning. The demand for tobacco stocks and bonds was unusually heavy, dvanced prices being ascribed to pool operations. The iual market lead ers were lively. Price changes gener- lly were nominal. Liggett and Myers umped 7 6-8 to 164 1-2, the preferred 10 ii, ana ioriuaru s ro in, Amer-i lean Tobacco, preferred, rose a point at noon. Most favorite stocks ruled unchanged from yesterday's closing. Active stoi.'ks were later strong, splllnir slightly below yesterday's final figures. The trend of the market became much stronger in the last half of the ay. Cotton Higher and Steady. New York, Jan. 16. The cotton market opened steady today at a de cline of 2 to 6 points. Active months sold 7 to 8 points lower right after the call. Some houses were heavy buyers around 9.50 for May. The market was less active later in the forenoon but firmer. Prices at midday were about 3 to 4 points net higher. Southern selling here during the morning was hardly active enough to suggest any change during the morn ing was hardly active enough to sug. gest any change in the spot situation. vvnne tne weatner in the south was clear, temperatures were considered low enough to operate against a bear movement.
