THOSE WHO WILL SERVE FOR
THE NEXT YEAR.
Appointments Made by County Board
of Education at Annua! Meeting
Monday Superintendent Foust
Elected For Another Term of Two
Years Attendance Officers to be
Named Later Sta'ptioal Report
For Past Year. ,
The : most important business to
come before the annual meeting of
the; board of education Monday was
the appointment of committees to
serve the various townships and
school districts for the ensuing yeaV.
Superintendent Foust submitted the
statistical report of the schools of
the county for the past year and
plans vf or . the coming y.ear were dis
cussed. '..
; Prof. Thomas R. Foust was re
elected county superintendent for a
term of two years.
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the appointment of the
committees, several delegations of
citizens appearing before the; board
in regard to this matter. The great
est, fight "was that- over the appoint
ment of the committee for the Sum
merfield graded school, the recent
agitation in the community over the
question of an open or closed school
house, having aroused considerable
feeling over the personnel of the
committee that his served for the
past year. This committee, com
posed of Messrs. T. B. Doggett, - J.
Fj Medearis and J. R. Caffey, re
fused a request that the Farmers'
Union be allowed to meet in the
school building; and when this rul
ing was reversed by the county
board of education it appears the
committee still kept the doors of
the school closed against the Farm
ers' Union. A number of citizens
representing both sides of the con
troversy appeared before the board
of education Monday, and P several
warm speeches Were made for and
against the action of the committee.
The board appointed a new commit
tee composed of Messrs. N. W. Og
burn and Ham Smith and Mrs. R.
O. Gamble. ,
sThe board took advantage of the
law allowing women to serve on
school boards and named four well
known Guilford women as members
of committees for the ensuing year
Mrs. W.v S. Dick, for the Seda
lia and McLeansviile schools; Mrs.
Laura Davidson Ogburn, for Bruce
township; Mrs. R. O. Gamble, -for
the Summerfield school, and Mrs.
W. L. Gibbons, for the Colfax school.
The matter of appointing at;end-
ance officers, who shall also taKe
the school census, was postponed
until a future date. The appoint
ments will be made in time for the
census to be taken in August.

Co: r- Repor- of Supe. nt' nd. n of
i Health.
The board of - county cbmmiss.oa
ers were in monthly session Monday
an-1 Tuesday. All the" members of
the j board were in attendance and a
large volume of business was trans
acted. -
Upon the recommendation of the
boani of rtucaliDn, the special school
tax levy for the Oak Shade d' strict,
Jamestown township, was reduced
fronv 30 to 25 cents.
' The board made an ; allowance of
$25 to reimburse Wil iam Elount, col
ored for" loss of time while he was
held in jail as a witness tor the
"state in the murder charge against
John E. Fogleman.
A : petition .was granted for a. pub
lic road in High Point township, be
ginning ai , the turn in the macadam
road f southwest of the city at the
Jonathan Burton place and to con
nect, with the proposed direct Thom-asville-High
Point road. The peti
tion "was granted on the cond-tion
that the proposed roads, connsct'ng
therewith by Davidson and Randolih
counties be opened and worked-
A -petit" on was received s sk ng for
a change in the location of the road
leading by John E. McXnight's res
idence to Buffalo church.
Favorable action was taken on a
petition asking that an election be
held 1 on the question or issuing
school bonds to the amount of $10,
000 in the special tax d'strict com
prising the' territory iA Morehead
township outside cf Greensboro. The
elec-ion was ordered for Tuesday,
Ausl2, the poll'ng place to be at
F. M. Fields' s.ore.
F. M, Fields
was appointed registrar and George
T. Lane and C. F. Johnson poll
holders. The commissioners voted to ap
propriate $500 a year for the next
two years for the establishment and
maintenance of a bureau of farm
demonstrtdon work in Guilford coua
ty, this to supplement a Ike sum
to be given by the Greensboro
Chamber of Commerce and "-he
United States department of agricul
ture. The bureau w-ill be in charge
of an expert to be employed by
Chairman Boren, Mr. E. P. Wharton,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and a representative of the
agricultural department. It is thought
that a suitable man can be employ
ed for $1,203 a year, leaving $300 of
the fund for other expenses. The
Chamber of Commerce will provide
office room free of charge.
When the proposition was first
brought up a few months ago the
Chicago gran exchanges agreed . to
give $1,000. a year to supplement the
fund of $1,500, but the Ch'cago peo
ple have f ailed to stand by -their of
fer, whch hd be3n accepted in
good faith by the local people.

THE HOOKWORM CAMPAIGN.
Began Mcndy and Will Continue
During the Month.
The campaign' for the eradication
o'Ji the hookworm disease in Guilford
county was begun Monday and will
be continued throughout the month
in accordance w.th the schedule
heretofore published. The work is
being done by authority cf the board
of county commissioners and. in co-'
operation with the. county board of
health. Dr. W. M. ' Jones, coanty
superintendent of health, has charge
of the free dispensaries and is as?
sisted by Prof. J. G. Kellogg, of
the Monticello" high school; who Ts
do ng the mie.occ3p.cal work.
Dr. Jones has prepared th3 follow
ing information concerning thehook
worm, which will be of 'nter'est in
connection with the campaign:
"That there is such a parasite as
the hookworm cannot be denied.
However, if there are these who are
yet skeptical all you have to do is
to visit the office of the county
board of health, in the county court
house, arid you will be fully con,
vinced that there is such a thing.
"The hookworm is dependent upon
climate;: '-geograph cal and , Sanitary
conditions for its existence and Pro
pagation. Oxygen, warmth and
moisture are acsaluVy necessary.,
In the North it is too cold and the
sggs and very small worms die, and
in th.e West i' -s too ry and the sun
kills them. Here in the South con
ditions are ideal, and more so where
the soil is sandy and porous.
"You cannot have hookworm dis
ease, no matter how favorable ' the
location, unless some one wrho has
the. disease deposits the eggs. ' Not
only man, but cows, dogs, cats, etc.,
have had it, but not the same
species as found in man.
"The hookworm develops from the
egg, and when a person is infected
he or she may discharge niU'iQr.s
with the excreta from the bowels at
each evacuation. The eggs do not
hatch in thg body of man for lack
of oxygen. An egg cannot be seen
with the. unaided eye. In the open
air they hatch in 12 or 24 hours.
The worm sheds h's skin twice in
the first week. The second jn,
while detached from the tody, r&
mains as a protection. It is yet
too small at this time to be seen
with the eye. This is the stage of,
infection. It remains this way from
six weeks o six months. That it
may continue it must enter a hu
man being and ggt to his intestinal
canal before it can do damage or
lay eggs for more worms.
"The most common way of get
ting into th system is by the skin,
and when entering it produces what
is commonly called "foot ' itch" or
"ground itch" and "dew poisoning."
Size, of . worm, one-third to two
thirds of an inch long and the size
of No. 30 cotton thread; color, white,
but generally dark brown on ac
count pf. blood in it.
"Hookworms cause anaemia, or
poor blood, scant growth "and scanty
development of mind and body.
They also cause headache and heart
palpitation, dizziness, loss of sleep.
tower we vitality and lessen re
sistance" to all diseases.
'' "Some' people have had an idea
that it is a disgrace to have hook
worm. It is no more so than 0
have a case- of poison oak poison
ing. ia, however, a disgrace to
have it, either yourself- or your
child, and not have it treated. It
cart easily be cured without danger
and .with : little; or no inconvenience.
"It has been deemed of sufficient
importance in GuilfoTd county and
many other counties of ,th state to
run free dispensaries for a limited
time.inan effort to eradicate it."

Sni3C TO THE PATOIOT.
AT GUILFORD BATTLE GROUNO.
Address by Governor Craig a,n
Other Interesting Fea urcs.
Several thousand" people particl
rfcted in the Fourth of July cele
bration at Guilford Battle Ground
Friday, the crowd being one of the
largest that has assembled on th's
historic spot in a number of years.
A varied and interesting program
1 t - 4.u.u imci caw
had been arranged for
the enter
tainment of the people and the oc
casion was an enjoyable one in
every particular.
The principal' address of the dsy
was made by Governor Craig, who
spoke on the general theme of lo
cal' self government and applied it
to ' present day principles. He. as
serted that it was for local self gov
ernment that the Colonial Eordiera
fought at Guilford Court House and
said it is he guarantee cf good gov
ernment today as it was in the days
of toe Revolution. No other- kind
of government can be the best gov
ernment for an intelligent people.
Each locality, to insure the best re
sults, must perform the governmen
tal functions that pertain to ils own
community jife. Th s is the concep
tion of the men who formed this
union of sovereign states. The con
stitution of the union and the con
stitution of North Carolina recognize
this principle for its complete appli
cation. Governor Craig was followed' w'ith
brief a 'dresses by Frof. R. D. W.
Connor, of Raleigh, secretary of h
state historical commission; Mayor
Murphy, Col. James T. Morehead and
Rev. w. E. Abernethy.
An interesting feature of the cel
ebration was the unveiling of ,t a
bronze statue of the late Maj. Jos
eph M. Morehead, who was identified
with the Guilford Battle Ground
Company from its organization, hav
ing been president of the company
for a number of years prior to hU
deaths , , J. , . f- . r, , .
A police census of High Point,
just completed, shows a ' population
of 11,560, of which the whiie peo
ple number 9,159 and the colored
people 2,401. The population by the
federal census of 1910 was 9,525, and
in 1900 it was 4,163. The increase in
the past three years is 21 per cent,
and as that .is less than the aver
age, yearly increase from 1900 to'
1910, the new census is considered
entirely accurate and if anything a
little under the actual population.
High Point is ninth in population
among North Carolina cities..

Farmers and
Business Lien
I
Rapid strides have been
made in agricultural lines j j
during this generation.
The successful farmer of
today must not only be a 5 !
1 good agriculturist but a J
gooa ousiness man as
well. Farming has be
come a business and, of
course, it is the biggest
business in the country
with the greatest compe
tition. The man who makes a
real success of farming
must be as well posted in
his line as manufacturers
and merchants must bo
in theirs. The IJonthly (
Crop report issued by this ! I
Bank will prove of great J I
j value to the farmer who I
o realizes the necessity of !!
beinrtwell posted regard- I
