" " " " " CHURCH -SERVICES SUNDAY Usual Preaching Services at AH Lum berton Churches Sunday School at All Except Presbyterian. Regular services will be held at all Lumberton churches Sunday, morning at 11 o'clock and evening at 7, and Sunday school will be held at all churches except the Presbyterian Last Sundav no services were held in any Lumberton chjirches ..except tne Gospel Tabernacle. ' It was mere. ly suggested by the town authorities, acting upen th advee oi physicians, that it might be best to close the churches for one day, last Sunday, and the suggestion was acted upon by all pastors except Rev. W. D. Combs, al though they felt that the danger of spreading the disease by having ser vices would be negligible. Mr. Comb3 decided to hold services, believing that more harm than good would come from suspending. All the pastors are agreed that ser vices may be held Sunday with per fect safety- For reasons which will readily occur to any one, there is less danger of spreading any coutagious disease by holding church services than by holding meetings of any other kind, not because by any miraculous manifestation of power the church goer is going to be protected, but be cause, for one good reason, people who are suffering with any complaint are not going to church. The churches will be open for their usual services Sunday morning and evening and you can go to church and worship if you feel so disposed.

Epidemics 17th Day Shows Gain in AH Sections Pneumonia and In fluenza as Well as Deaths Reach New High Levels. Today's Raleigh News nd Obrv- er gives the following: The pasrinir cf the scve.ueer-th dav of the present ePdemic of influenza in ; the State shewed a marked increase! in the number of new cases of influ-, enza, in the number of new cases of pneumonia and in the number of deaths- Influenza for the day totaled 4,747, pneumonia 91 and deaths 30.

Th, disease is not so wide spread and not so fatal as it was in the first outbreak. Then the death rate was about 60 per 1,000 cases, as against four per thousand in the present eP'demic. The present rate is expected to be rahed somewhat if the present ratio of pneumonia is maintain ed.

No claims are made that it will prevent iitfluenra, but it has been used effectively against pneumonia. Application for it should be made direct to the labo ratory. Dr- F. M. Register, State Epidemi ologist, said yestsrttay that he regard ed the epidemic as having about reach ed its peak and that hereafter there would be a declin:; fn the number of cases, with occasional flares fn sec tions of the State where the disease has not yet bconie widespread.

The prizes in these counties will be twice this amount, they having been doubled by Mr. Ke ziah and Editor J. A. Sharpe, of Lum berton Robesonian. The association is receiving splendid cooperation from the superintendents and teachers. Many of the county superintendents are giving practically their entire time to work incident to the contest. They see the need of prosecuting "War on Malaria" and! a OTP A with nffteinla nf tho anHmvn.l ers' association in their contention that the place to reach the largest percentage of the people is in the schools- Another feature of the association's fight on malaria and the anopheles mosquito is the posting of placards throughout eastern North Carolina. Thousands of government placards have been received from the United States public health service and are being sent out to county agents, school superintendents and teachers to be posted in the, school rooms, at the cross roads, at country stores and various public meeting places. The nature of the association's fight against malaria is such that none of its workers would hesitate to ask permission to put these posters up in churches. The campaign is be ing carried into the pulpit by some ministers. THE RECORD OF DEATHS 4 Mr- Raymond Reynolds Died in Au gusta Monday Night Funeral Here Yesterday.
