A Movement for Economy in Adminis tration of Affairs of Robeson Coun. ty Mass Meeting Called to be Held in Lumberton Saturday of thia week at 11 O'clock Purpose to Discuss Extravagances and Plans For Re lieving Excessive Taxation. It was stated in The Robesonian a week ago today that a call, signed by many well-known Democrats . about over the county, had been issued for a mass meeting to be held in Lumber ton Saturday of this week, July 18, at 11 o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of resolving upon "some method of relieving some of the bur dens of excessive taxation." The pre amble to the call for the meting re cites: that there is too much ex. travagance in the administration of the affairs of our county along all lines, by which taxes have become a great burden; that a popular expres sion from the tax-payers who have to bear the burdens is proper and that a mass meeting of the people would be the most effectual way to start a movement for reform along economic lines. "Therefore, we do call upon the people of the county, especially the Democrats, to meet in the town of Lumberton at 11 o'clock, a. m. on Sat urday, July 18, for the purpose of re solving upon some method by which these extravagances can be checked and our people, to some extent al least, relieved of some of the bur dens of excessive taxation. Every body who is in favor of such "move ment for tax reduction be sure to be present and bring your neighbors." It is thought that quite a number of people will be in town Saturday to attend this meeting.

Robeson Counly Board of Health Au thorizes County Physician Page to Administer Free Typhoid Vaccine Value of This Form of Vaccina nation. The Robeson County Board of Health, in session Monday, authoiiz. ed Dr. B. W. Page, county health officer to administer free typhoid vac cine in different sections of the county. Those desiring free vaccina tion are requested to get up a crowd of fifteen or more people who want the treatment and arrange a date with Dr. Page, who will meet them at some convenient place in their neighborhood. Typhoid vaccination is one of the latest discoveries in preventive medi cine. The vaccine is given under the skin and does not make a scar and as a rule causes few symptoms to the person vaccinated. Three injections are necessary to make, a person im mune and these are given about ten days apart. The value of this form of vaacina. tion is shown by the following statis tics from the army. In 1908 (before the discovery of vaccination) there were about 75,000 troops and of these 239 had typhoid fever and 21 died. In 1913 (after the vaccination had been made compulsory) -there were more than 96,000 troops of whom 3 had typhoid and none died. The typhoid vaccination renders a person immune for about five years.
