We herewith reprint tne extracts
from the speech of Dr. I. W. Faison
of Charlotte. This speech was made
before the Tuberculosis Congress
which has been in session in Greens
boro this week. His address is es
pecially interesting on account of
the sensible manner in which he dis
cussed the white plague and the
cause which develop it. The last sen
tence in these extracts ought to be
read with more than passing inter
est by every good citizen. In the doc
tor's opinion whiskey is -fit for noth
ing in medicine or in the treatment
of diseases.

Responding to the address of
welcome, Dr. I. W. Faison, of
Charlotte, proceeded to make a
very strong address on the need
of more education and more law
in behalf of health. He declared
that consideraing the fact that in
the United States last year 200,
000 people died from tuberculos
is, and one and a half million
people were reported sick of it,
the physicans of this country
were criminally negligent to
idly sit by and permit it.
He said that when in 1877 Dr.
Austin Flynt declared that the
tendency of tuberculosis was to
get well, he did not believe him
but since practicing medicine
many years he had found that Dr.
Flynt was right. He said the best
authorities now agreed that tub
erculosis is neither inherited or
contageous. It does not 'come
from an acute cold, except as a
cold lessens the power of re
sistance to infection. Dr. Faison
proceeded to show that there
should be laws passed whereby
counties could take care of in
firm and indigent consumptives,
removing them from danger of
communicating the germs through
expectoration or other causes to
people in health. The people
should demand better appropria
tions for the tuberculosis hos
pitals. After years of fruitful talk the
people demanded better educa
tional facilities, and with the
matchless leadship of Governor
Aycock they secured it. They, de
manded temperance and under
the leadership of Governor Glenn
they abolished the "sale of li
quor through bar-rooms and
placed its sale through doctors
and drug stores.''
He said he gave only six pre
scriptions for liquor in 1908 and
in 1909 he did not need to give
a single one. He declared that
one of the greatest predisposing
causes for tuberculosis is the
drinking of liquor and its atten
dant evils."
"If I had the say, as a physi
cian, I would say that not a clrop
of liquor could be used medicinal
ly in North Carolina.''

It appear that the Western Union

"A special Night Letter service will

The charge for this service will be

for the transmission of fifty words or

the new service will be largely avail

What the Census Is For
' The sole purpose of the census is
to secure general ' statistical infor

resources of the country and replies
are required from individuals only
in order to permit the compliation
of such general statistics. The cen

with army or jury service, with the
compulsion of school attendance, or
with the regulation of immigration,
or with the enforcement of any na
tional, State or local law or ordi
nance, nor can any person be harm
in any way by furnishing the infor

fear that any disclosure will be made
regarding any individual person of

disclosing any information which
may thus come to his knowledge.
I, therefore urge upon all persons
to answer promptly, completely and

employes of the Census Bureau, and
thereby, to contribute their share
toward making this great and neces
sary public undertaking a success.

DR. OUPUY GIVES THE HOUSE
FLY VERY BAD REPUTATION
"The common house fly is not only
an abominable nuisance but a pos
itive menace to the public health.
i The disease is carried on the per
son of the fly itself for actual exper
iment has shown that a fiv carries
as many as 550 to over 6,0d0,000 ba
cteria .
Thus did Dr. H. R. Dupuy, health
commiessioner, pay his respects to
the common house fly in his address
before the East Side Sixth Ward Im
provement League last night. He
told how rapidly flies breed and pro
pagate and he said this insect is
placed as third in the causes of typ
hoid fever. The fly follows water and
milk, Dr. Dupuy said .
That the fly contains the germ of
typhoid fever in verile form, Dr. Du
puy said, was proved by a physician,
who fed flies with the culture of
typhoid fever ' in 1888 and examined
their contents microscopically. Dr.
Dupy referred to the result of the in
vestigation by a commission appoint
ed by the government to look into
the cause of so much typhoid fever
in the army during the Spanish
American war, which showed that
much of it was caused by flies. The
greater number of cases of typhoid.
Screen the Windows.
As a warning to the people, the
health commissioner said:
"During the fly season great atten
tion should be paid to screening the
rooms and hospital wards containing
patients with tuberculosis and typ
hoid fever. The danger from the com
mon house' fly in carrying disease
has been abundantly demonstrated.
With mosquitoes it necessitates an
annual outlay for window and door
screens in the United States of not
less than ten million dollars. As a
carrier of disease it is the cause of
the loss of manv millions of dollars
annually, while with typhoid fever
the economic loss in a single year is
m6re than three hundred and fifty
millions.''
Spread Typhoid Fever
Continuing, Dr.' Dupuy declared
that the house fly is an important
agent in the spread of typhoid fever
and that it is responsible for a very
considerable portion of the decrease
in' vital assets. He said the failure of
the various communities to make an
effort to destroy the fly could be
properly termed criminal "neglect.
In his address last night Dr. Du
puy not only discussed the fly. but
he also gave an insight into the reg
ulation for all infectious diseases.
He said the health department now
requires all cases of scarlet fever,
diptheria, typhoid fever an small
pox quarantined and that through a
strict quarantine and prompt report
of all cases the disease had freauent
ly1een confined to only one member-
Hi BAKING jft
of a family and that diptheria and
scarlet fever had been almost stamp
ed out. He spoke of the extended
scope of the health department work
of the records kept in the office, so
that the health record of any house
couid readily ascertained,, together
with the death records and other
statistics. Ledger-Dispatch.
TO REORGANIZE
IN II FEW WEEKS
That the re-organization of the
Norfolk and Southern Railway Com
pany is a matter of a few weeks
only, following on the confirmatotv
action of the United. States Circuit
Court of Appeals, is a matter that
will be heard of with deep interest
in North Carolina, for the Norfolk &
Southern, in its development of the
eastern section of the State is doing
a work of value for the entire State.
The information from New York
is that, the forces which are to re
organize and take charge of the road
favor Mi E. T. Lamb, who is nov
manager of the road. He has made
many friends in North Carolina and
Virginia, who recognize in him an
able, alert and resourceful railroad
man, and his promotion to the pres
idency of the road would be receive !
with great satisfaction.
Plans for financing the re-organi
zation of the road are being under
taken in New York by Richmond &
Company and N. W. Harris & Com
pany, the statement being made that
it is expected that $6,780,000 of five
per cent first mortgage bonds will
be offered for sale as soon as the
lower court is officially informed of
the confirmatory action of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
Richmond and as soon as it is known
that the Philadelphia syndicate

which has fought against the rew
ganization has withdrawn its oppos
ition, which is expected to be within
three qr four - weeks.
The re-organlzation plan calls for
the incorporation of a new company
with $16,000,000 capital stock, and
$12,000,OOo first mortgage 5 per cent
bonds secured upon all the property
of the company, Stock will be given
to the owners of the $14,000,000 out
standing Norfolk & Southern first
and refunding 5 per cent bonds, who
have deposited them with the re-or
ganization committee at the rate or
$1,142.80 of stock for each bond. Ail
but 24 of these bonds have been de
posited. It is likely that the right to
exchange will be left open. This
change will take all the $16,000,000- ,
stock authorized.
The first offering of -$5,780,000
bonds is to provide for the purchase
and retirement of $2,043,893 collater
al trust notes, $1,442,865 receivers
certificates and $47,000 Raleigh and
Pamlico Sound Railroad bonds, and
to furnish working capital for the
new company. Of the remaining
bonds, $3,220,000 are reserved to re
tire underlying bonds, and $3,000,000
to provide for future requirements.
The road was "prosperous until 1907,
when it became embarrassed and
went into the hands of receivers.
In December, 1909 the Nor foil: &
Southern Railroad Company, with a'l
its property and franchises was pst
on sale by auction at Norfolk, Va.
The bondholders' re-organzation
committee bid it in for $8,500,000.
Two weeks later, the Philadelphia
syndicate headed by J. W. Van
Dyke, James H. Murdock, F. D. Zell
and C. H. Burr, as petitioners, filed
a bill of intervention, asking 'hst
the property, be turned over to them
under a contract of purchase ard re
organization alleged to have been
made by the Norfolk and Southern
re-organization committee in New
York in January, 1909.
