HEALTH AND MYHIENE
i E. R. Hardin, Health Officer.
Rcdwson county with its enormous
awa. vast rtarmtceis ami three races
of people is almost an empire in it
seif .In 1^23, 16-1? children were lmrn
in Robeson county. In M22 there wera
504 deatlrs from a!i causes in Hebe*
sen county. The same year there
were 203 deaths in chiidren under five
years oM .excluding still births; and
13d deaths in chiidren under 1 year<
o!d exclusive of still births. Thus wc
c-ee that the infant mortality is h'gh,
and constitutes a very large per' cent
of.the iota! death rate. This is due
largely to a inch of knowledge on the
pari of many of our people, of even
the elementary requirements of the
pregnant mother, and the young baby.
In other words, they need a broad
general knowledge of how ^to take
care of the pregnant mothers and
young babies, especially the artifi
cially fed babies. How are the pa
_ touts, for instance, who employ the
13(1 ignorant mid wives in the county,
to obtain the knowledge? Certainly
not through the midwives. The mid
^wives have done nothing to reduce
the maternal and infant mortality
in a! the hundreds of years they,
have been operating ,so we need ex
<m ..
! pert little he!p from that direction,
j The solntion of the problem, as
' c tlier countries have fully demon
strated, is the education of the wo
men, so that they will employ train
ed physicians to attend them during
the period of pregnancy and child
birth; and to supervise the care and
I feeding of their young babim in the
homes. This is a big program, and
one which wili require personal con
tact and teaching b?

of a phy
eayittt-cb amd efi
wiStgivb general
advice aild instructions as to how the
pregnant mother should care for her
self; and the other mothers should
care for their babies. He will advise
them to cdnsult their family physi
cian when in his judgment it is ne
cessary. These conferences will serve,
to place many pregnant mothers with
complications who are in the hands of
midwives, under the care of physi
cians. They will also bring many ba
bies, who are victims of the evil in
fluences of luidwives ,and neighbor
ing grannies, under competent medi
cal jurisdiction. This is the aim of

FIELD BASEBALL CLUB.
Special to The Robcsonian and to tbe
Manhfield Baseball club:
It is mighty strange they have got
such a fast ball club and we have
challenged them for a game on their
own ground and they will not give it
to us. They have such a good club, we
tpeat them 2 out of fpur and tied
them one of them. They have nut
beat us but one game out of the 1
games played, and anytime they want
a game we arc ready to play them
cn their diamond.

Another Fight On

} SENTIMENT AGAINST GEARY
i Raliegh—Another fight on the i^ar
i is being planned for the apis^&S^ijC
sion by Representative \f. Hr'^ ^*
gwyB, of Northampton county, wis
said toc!ay" he will introdn.*^,; ;a hiti
' embodying the features tM Lt^nsi
ana anti-klan act.
. the Louisiana law prohibits the
i mas!: and requires registration of
! membership, provisions similar to
those contained in the bi!! which pass
I ed the house of the 1923 genera! as
sembly but met defeat in the sena'o.
"I have written for a copy of the
Louisiana law and as soon as I ra
iceive it I expect to prepare a bill
for introduction in the special ses
sion", Retro -optative Burgwyn said.
"The goveinoi- of Louisiana said a:
: New York that the anti-klan hi!! had
killed the organization."
Fight in Legislature.
The house and senate fought over
the Man for several days at the 1923
session of the North CafroHna legis
lature. The house passed an unmask
: ing bill, the senate killed it and of
fered a substitute and the house kill
ed the substitute.
Defeat of the anti-kian bill in the
last session was attributed by Mr.
Burgwyn to klan membership and a
hostile feeling between the house and
senate. Asked how m ny ' klansmen
he thinks are members of the state
legislature, he estimated the number
at twenty.
Since the 1923 fight Judge Henry
A .Grady, grand dragon of the klan,
1 as made a move to gain prestige
for his organization by commg out
into the open as its official spokes
man, thereby giving it a responsibie
head, and by putting North Carolina
klansmen on record in opposition to
the mask. *
Mr. Burgwyn has heard of con
siderable Sentiment for the impeach
ment of Judge Grady because of his
leadership of the klan.
"A democratic leader said to me
that he Was apprehensive that a re
publican member of the house might
introduce a resolution for the im
peachment of Judge Grady," he de
clared. ''I told him he should
also be apprehensive about
democratic members who are
extremely hostile to the idea of
the grand dragon of the klan sitting
cn the superior court bench."
The only charge that can be made
against Judge Grady is his klm con
nections aim Mi*. Durgwyn, Who has
NO FEA^! OF EV!L rcsuitinpr from
change of diet, water or climate,
concerns those who take on the short
