She had gotten up during the night aud walked too near the edge of - the porch when she fell about three feet. She is about 86 years of age,' and the accident is a most unfortunate one for her.

Confirming the recent statement of Dr. William Osier, that the an-ti-tubercnloeis campaign is no longer a battle for the doctors on ly, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis issues a statement to day, in which it is shown that o" er 45 per cent, of those enlisted in the White Plague War are lay men. The National Association's -membership, consisting of nrly 2,500, and representing every Jtate in the union, is composed of 54 6 per cent, doctors and 45.4 per ont. laymen. Iu the local and -State associations, however throughout the country, the pei centof laymen averages considerab ly over 50 per ceut. The National Association declares that this fact is pecu'.iaraly significant, as indic ating the great popularity of the auti-tuberculosis movement . Today, according to recent fig ures published by the National Association, churches, schools, labor unions, women's clubs, fra ternal organizations, and State legislatures, interesting full 8,000 000 people, are all allied in the . campaign against tuberculosis, and in addition to these, laymen of all classes of society, and in every branch of social and indus- . trial life, are uniting against this oue common foe. Every day sees hundreds of new recruits in the war, and every day brings n iw methods of the fight iug of the plague . The National Association predicts that if the present degree of interest is main tained, with'(n five years every body in the United States will have been informed on the way to prevent and cur i tnbercob sis and concerning the infectious'na ture of the disease. Two things in particular are needed, and for these the Nation al Association is working iu every way. These are, a more com plete registration of tuberculosis cases, and the further isolation of dangerous advanced pases of con sumption. Mr. and Mrs. Paul H. Bern hard have returned to Salisbury, alter a short wedding trip. CONCORD AND CABARRUS COUNTY. H. M. Efird Dies at Sanitarium. Goes to Concord to buy a Buggy. Concord Times, Jnly 8th. H L.

It was reported that the last Lcgislature passed a law limit ing the speed of automobiles, but the report must have been an error. Messrs. Joe B. and Ed. S.

The tariff bill passed the Senate just after 11 o'clock to-night by a vote of 45 to 84. Republicans voting in the negative were Boveridge, of Indi ana ; Bristow, of Kausas ; Brown of Nebraska ; Burkett, of Nebras ka, Clapp, of Minnesota; Craw ford, of South Dakota; Cummins, of Iowa; Dolliver, of Iowa; La Follettej of Wisconsin ; Nelson, of Minnesota. McEuery, of Louisi ana, was the only Democrat re corded in the affirmative. As it passed the Senate the bill contains almost 400 paragraphs. The Senate made 840 amendments to the House piovisions, many of whioh were added to-day. The closing scenes in the Senate chambor were tame indeed Mr. LaFollett's three-hour speech to night was earnest, but not espec ially animated. He had a Blim audience. Senators remained in their seats only when required to be there to vote . The results of the vote on the bill had been long discounted There was no doubt its passage by the usual finance committee majority. Following several hour' of monotonous iscussion of the gen eral features of the tariff bi.l, the closing hours were characterized by a spirited controversy between Senator Aldrich on the one hand and a number of the insurgent Senators on the other as to the standing of Republican Senators, win might cast their votes against the bill. m . TRA6E0Y IN DAVIE. Farmer Killed Outright and Son Mortally Wounded by an Explosion. A, A. Putts, aged 45, was killed and his s u, George Pott?, aged about 21, was mortally wounded by the explosion of a boiler of an engine while operating a thresh ing machine on the G. A. Allison place, one-half mile f i om Advance, Davie County, at 8 :80 o'clock this mcrning. A telephone message to the Sentinel from Advance says the explosion was heard for several miles. A. A. Potts was struck by pieces of the boiler and knccked several feet. He was badly bruised and was doad when picked up. The son was fearfully scalded and bruised and the attending physician says there is practically no hope for his recovery. The threshing machine outfit is owned by ex-sheriff W. A, Bailey, who resides near Advance. He had Mr. Potts and his son em ployed, to aid in operating the ma chine. Allowing water to get too low in the boiler is given as the cause of the explosion. A. A. rotts is survived Dy a widow and several children. He was and industrious farmer, one who was held in the highest es teem by all who knew him. A gentleman who came from Advance this morning reports that the dome of the boiier was blown about two hundred yards: also that the top part of the skull of A. A. Potts was blown off. A piece of his shirt sleeve was blown away with the dome. The son was uuconicius and all efforts to revive him were unavailing. Winston Sentinel 5th.

There is money in bees for him who will take the time and trouble to handle them. Mr. Koontz says he, too, has had no little trouble in swarming this summer.

Oue of the most terrific electric storms that has visited this place in sometime came up Wednesday- evening and for some hours rag-d with such fury that more than ne person was badly frightened. The lightning struck several places, got on the wires, burned out the biggest dynamo in the town plant, a number of meters, electric lights world without end, etc. The damage is not consider able . Mr . Couch, the new super inteudent, began work the next morning and the first thing he went up against" was the dam aged machinery, which made his beginning rather arduous.

Wheat Turning out Worse Than was Eipested St&tesville Landmark, July th. It is understood that the near beer dealers in Statesville will make no attempt to test the or diance imposing a license tax of $500 a year. The sale of the beverage has been discontinued here. A test case may be taken to the oourts from some other town and the decision will settle the matter for the whole State. Farmers who have threshed wheat generally report that the yield is smaller than anticipated, the crop not being an average one. Where' the crops have been worked out since the rains cotton and up land corn are looking well. Cot ton is small for the time of the year, but a good season for a month or so wjll bring the crop out amazingly ; and with good sea sons and a late fall the yield of corn and cotton may be much bet ter than expected A Statesville lady whose hus band refuses to go to church be cause the headgear of the ladies often obscures his view of the preacher, suggests that a ruling be made compelling the women who wear large hats to take back seats and the men the front teats of the churoh. It is true this plan would solve the problem to some extent, but most men prefer sit ting beside their friends of the fairer sex. The plan would also be of convenience to those women who spend most of their time in chnTchinBpecting and oom,nent- lug on lfle aitire OI neir lellow mn- tt makes little difference feo this olB whether they see the Preaoher- .They are moreinterest ed in hats and dresses. The Iredell County Farmers- Union held a meeting at the oour house Saturday in the in terest of a county warehouse, but no definite action was taken, It will be brought up again at tfhe regular meeting the first Saturday of next month and at this time the farmers expect to be able to make definite arrangement for the warehouse. They purchased a site for the warehouse some time ago.

County Commissioners Meet. At the recent meeting of the board of county commissioners, the following matters were dis posed of : Dr. M. L.

Superintendent Carter reported 17 prisoners at his camp and Superintendent Thomason report ed. 32 in his charge. A franchise granted at a former meeting for the construction and operation of a trolley line to Granite Quany, was revoked.
