NUMBER 93 SCHOOL WORK DELAYED ADDRESS ON' TUBERCULOSIS COUNTY SCHOOL MATTERS MARIETTA NEW MATTERS PARKTON PARAGRAPHS- BRIEF ITEMS OF LOCAL NEWS Spring Term of Graded .School Will Not Begin Until Monday or isexi Week Owinir to Delay Caused by " Necessary Repairs at School Build ing . Opening, of the graded school for the spring term is delayed till Mon day of next week on account of neces sary repairs at the school building, It . was announced, in Monday's .? Bobesonian at the request of Supt. it.- Jb. sen telle that school would open the following day, Tuesday, as was the intention when school sus ; - pended for the holidays week before last, but Supt. Sentelle did not know then that the fact that workmen would be engaged in the building making necessary repairs would de lay the opening. He called the school to order Tuesday morning but found that it would be' impossible to carry en the school work, and teachers and pupils were dismissed until today, but yesterday it was learned that there was no likelihood of being able to Jbegm school work until next Monday Workmen are busy with the flue on top of the building, it having been found, necessary in order to jrive better draught, to take this off and build it up again broader and ligher; and the boiler is being en tirely overhauled, a numoer 01 re pairs being necessary. There has been some criticism of the school trustees for not having this work done before, but the trus tees, while they knew the work had v li tdi be done and were anxious to. nave it done, had to wait until the mon ey was available. Bonds were vo. d for the money for this work and lor the proposed new scnooi ouua intr some months ago. it is true, out there is possibility of a slip between the voting of bonds and the selling of the same; and there came' near heinc a slin in this instance. At least there was considerable delay, for the monev was expected by the first of' last October and it was not available until a few days before Christmas. So like prudent business men the school trustees waited for the money.

Floyd, general merchant and chairman of the boari of county commissioners. Nothing was P3v'd. Dr. J. P.

Mr. Jam'es "FWd and Mr. Crawford Ratley, and -'t had then gained such headway that it was impossible to save any of the stock of goods. The stock of goods had iust been inventoried at $9,000 and the building' was valued at $5. 000. while the insurance amounted to $4,000 on the stock and $2,500 on the building: so the loss 13 not quite half covered by insurance.

J. P. Brown and L. E. Ricks of Fairmont, B. F. and Roscoe McMillan of Red Springs, N. H. Andrews of Rowland, Fred Nash of St. Pauls, B.-W. Page, W. L. Grantham, W. A. McPhaul, R. G. Rozer, R. S. Beam, T. C. Johnson, Jno. Knox and Nr A, Thompson- of Lumberton, E. S. Currie of Parkton, L. B. -MeBrayer and Thompson of the State Sanatorium . . . j The chief event of the meeting was " JH5g gff rfcfeg superintendent of the State Sanator- ium for Tubercular Patients, on the subject of tuberculosis. Before get ting down to his subject Dr. McBray er declared that the theory of Dr. B . V". Page,-Robeson's health officer, on pellagra was best thing yet ad vanced on this disease. Dr. McBray. er's address was most instructive and was greatly enjoyed by members of the society as well as a number of others who availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing the address. The mmebers of the executive com mittee of the Farmers' Union adjourn ed their meeting in order to hear the address. - Dr. MeBrayer said in parti.. "We; are trying tp .formulate'; a plan by which we will be able to help every case in the State. We pur pose to aid local physicians through out the State in handling cases in homes. It is very mportant that pa tients do as the doctors advise in order to get results. It is useless, however, to ask those afflicted to do thin e-a that are impossible. Those who are victims of the disease should h careful to shild their face when coughingor sneezing, especially when near others. It is also very essen tial that those afflicted use spittum cups, and after using them destroy same. We have arranged to furnish all who desire the cuds at wholesale prices, sending them out by parcel post. One reason why we do not nronose to furnish them free is be cause we have not got the money, another because people do- not ap preciate a thing given trwem tree so mnrh as if thev nav for it. "There are two classes of tuber. tients. one composed of peo ple that are willing to take care of themselves and another of people who are not willing to take care of themselves. A victim of the disease cannot' get the same benefits from a home sanatorium that we can give him, but he can get well at home, provided he will f ollpw the methods so far as possible that are followed at the State Sanatorium. Many of our patients who are not able to pay their own expenses at the State institution are sent by counties, churches, lodges, etc. There is noth ing that brines, poverty to a home so nuick as tuberculosis. ' "There should be some way to taKe advanced cases and cases where the patients are not able to ti.a y,a nroner treatment, A gOOd ,ay t0 master this would be fo counties to erect a building in for the eon The in-irectjon wjth the county homes extra expense attached would be the erection of the buildings, nurses and food. ' , "It is said that 90 per cent of the cases of tuberculosis are curable, Providing the patient begins the rieht course in time. The earlier one finds out that he has the disease the purer is the cure. At the State San atorium we h.ive restored victims when thev would have been dead in four months had they not gone to the institution. While these cases rannot be cured, the disease can be checked and the lives prolonged for many years. "While I do not believe one child in school who has contracted the dis ease will make other scholars liable to contract tuberculosis, I don't think a child should be allowed to go to the schools when it is known that it has the disease. . "It is now thought that a method has been found which will enable the doctors to hot only diagnose the dis ease.but to diagnose the staee and activity of the disease as well." The next meetine of the society will be held at Fairmont the first Wednesday in March. 1,000 Acres in Watermelons and Can . taleupes Dr. J.J. Brown of Fairmcnt, who was a Lumberton visitor yester day, savs thnt the farmers around Fairmont will plant pomething like 1.000 acres in watermelons and cant ploupes this year. Mr. Henry Stubbs of Lnurinburg, who hns had quite a hit of experience in the melon bus iness, has rented land from Dr. Brown, Mr. A. S. Thompson and others ind will plant about 200 acres VmFplf. This is p. new thing for the farmers of that section and no doubt - will prove profitable . ; Frcp Tobacco Seed Mr. B. O. (Billy) Bransford, manager of the Farmers' Tobacco Warheouse 6f Lumberton, asks The! Robesonian to say that all tobacco growers who desire to get tobacco seed best suited for this section can eet them by calling at the stores of Messrs. White & Goutrh, L. H. Cald well, K. M. Biggs or R. D. Cald well & Son, free-of charge.
