Typhoid Outbreaks.
Raleigh, X. C., August 1. ? There ha
ve been reported to tlie Bureau of
Epidemiology of the State Board of
Health since July 15th several sharp
outbreaks of typhoid fever.
From Granville and Columbus Co
unties there are reported two instan
ces of three cases of Typhoid Fever
in the same family From Catawba
and Columbus Counties there are re
ported two instances of five cases in
a family, and, as if to cap the climax
of this series, from Wilson County
there has been reported an instance
of six cases of Typhoid Fever in one
family.
Typhoid Fever is still contagious,
still infectious and slill one of. our
most deadly enemies among the com
municable diseases. Though greatly
reduced throughout the State as a
whole, such instances as these Just
cited serve to show that it will spread
from person to person until whole
families will contract the disease, un
less rigid and adequate precautions
ere observed. Aijd, in spite of the
best of treatment, Typhoid Fever is
claiming a death from every eight to
ten cases.
The recent State-wide efforts to
ward improvement of sanitation, par
ticularly in respect to sanitary priv
ies and vaccination against typhoid
fever, have greatly reduced the am
ount of the disease. The deaths last
year were about 60 per cent what
they were in 1914, but still there is
room t&r improvement. Alamance
and Gaston Counties have Just com
pleted distinctly successful vaccina
tion campaigns. Franklin and Meek
lenburg Counties have Just begun si
milar offorts toward stamping out j
this infection. Johnston, Duplin, An
son and Rutherford Counties will be
gin campaigns in the next few days
Through these treatments citizens
TBI, rlvan flfTlnfrnLflnnWlnn fnr vat
rs to come. The State Boak-d of Hea
lth recommends that every citizen
take advantage of the -opportunity
presented to avoid typhoid fever. Such
outbreaks as these in which whole fa
milies are sick at once CAN and
MUST be prevented.
Captures Complete Still Outfit
Sheriff H. A. Kearney and xConsta
ble J. E. Thomas reported the cap
ture of a complete still outfit Monday
afteVnoon on Crooked Creek near the
Did Harris mill site. It was an all
copper outfit with the exception of
the cap which was made of tin. They
reported destroying about two hund
red and fifty gallons of beer.

JAPAN CONCERNED
OVER LATE PARLEV
Suggestion That Great Britain May
Join America Meets With Much
.Disfavor.
Tokio, Aug. 3. ? Special dispatches
from the United States describing the
recent conference held at the Ameri
can State Department between Sec
retary of State Colby, Sic Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador to
the United States; Roland Morris, A
merican ambassador to Japan, and
Sir BlllBby Francis Alstrom, the Brll=~
ish minister to China, at which the
general situation in the far East was
discussed and the suggestion in some
of the dispatches that Great Britain
is showing signs of joining the United
States in her far Eastern policy, have
served to increase the nervousness
here over Japanese-American rela
tions.
Leading newspapers devote leng
thy editorials to discussion of the sit
uation and generally demand that the
Japanese people show an unbroken
front. The Nicbi Nichi thinks the
trouble with Japan's diplomacy lies
in the fact that the authorities are
"exclusively timid arid overconsider
ate for the feelings of other coun
'tries."
r They should take resohite action on
their own responsibility, the newspa
per says. ?
Some Americans add the NicchI Ni
chi, interpret occupation of Saghalin
as a gratificatiin of territorial ambi
tion but if any Japanese are harbor-,
ing such ambitions they are merely
old fashioned imperialists.
The Hochi Shlmbun declares the
country should not belittle the in>^
portance of the American communi
cation regarding Japanese occupa
tion which the newspaper considers
virtually a protest. k
While deprecating rage over th<*
American protest the Hochi Shlmbun
says? "Let us urge no yielding to a
protest based merely on a suspicious
imagination. We are anxious to see
I the problems of Japan and America
settled amicably but there is a limit
to our patience. If things become un
regrettable not only so rar as Japan
,p?ip-ftmflfiran relations are bbboihh
Led-but for the peace of the worlds We
' hope . the. authorities will abide by the
cause of justice and tear nothing."
