Among the notable speakers who are expected to be present at the annual convention of the North Car olina Good Roads Association is Dr. J. A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau of mines at Washing ton. Dr. Holmes was at one time state geologist' of North Carolina, and was much interested in the good roads movement in this state, it is very fitting that he should come back to North Carolina in the in terest of good roads, in view of the long years of service he rendered the Btate in behalf of this cause. Dr. Holmes is now a figure of national and international importance and is rendering a splendid service to his country. Aside from the pleasure which our North Carolina people will feel in welcoming him back to his former home and field of service, will be the great pleasure and bene fit of hearing the message he will bring to us out of his broad experi ence. RABIES IX 1911. In 1909 the public health and ma rine hospital service instituted an investigation as to the frequency of rabies in the United States during the year 1908. All possible sources of information were utilized and complete verification of the cases was attempted in every instance. A comparison with the figures obtain ed in 1911 would indicate that the infection is on the increase. In 1911, cases were reported from -1,381 lo calities as against 534 in 1908, while there were only ninety-eight deaths in 1911, notwithstanding the largely increased number of localities from which the disease was reported, as compared with 111 deaths In 1908. This is accounted for probably by the large increase in the number of institutions in which the antirabic treatment could be obtained and by the fact that the victims availed themselves more largely of this treatment. In 1908 there were twenty-three institutions in the country where this treatment was adminis tered; In 1911 there were at least forty-two. In addition there are a number of laboratories which supply material for inoculations to practic ing pryslcians. The number of per sons known to have taken the treat ment in 1908 was about 1,500, while In 1911 it was 4,625. The figures for 1911 show that the period of in cubation In nineteen out of sixtysfive cases was between twenty-one and thirty days, this being the greatest number for any given incubation period. Three cases occurred over twelve months after the Injury. The average Incubation period of all cases, excluding those over one year, was 49.25 dayB. The decrease In the number of deaths In 1911 as compared with 1908 amounted to nearly 12 per cent. Striking facts brought out In this report are the wider distribution of the' infection. Us spread on the Pacific coast, which section in 1908 seemed to bo en tirely free from the disease, and the decreased death-rate owing to better facilities for treatment and better distribution of the antirabic virus. According to The Journal of the American Medical .Association, the situation calls pt,fctu greater eN forts toward the complete eradica tion ot this preventable disease. All who have watched the growth Lof the Norfolk Southern, and who have kept measurably Informed as to its policies and who have noted its liberal dealings with the public regret that E. T. Lamb has resign ed from the presidency of the road. During his administration the road has gone forward rapidly and has become an important factor in the development of the state. Mr. Lamb has worked faithfully to this end and his efforts were meeting with abundant success. He resigns to go to another road, the step of course being in the nature of a promotion and for this fact the employes of the road and the friends of Mr. Lamb all over this section are greatly pleas ed, the only regret being that they have to give him up. Raleigh will be represented at the good roads convention which is to be held at Charlotte this week. It is not known yet whether any Raleigh automobiles will be in the "run" on the Central Highway to that city. There will be some from the east and many from the west, and there will be the largest number of auto mobiles ever assembled at any one point in the .state. Raleigh is said to have something like one hundred machines. Ten years ago there was one and it was a curiosity. The mess hall at the Agricultural and Mechanical College is now so nearly completed that its attractive design is clear. The parking of the campus in front of it adds greatly to its attractiveness. In front of it will pass a road-way, quite wide and slightly curved, , from the Hillsboro road, this connecting on the soHth with the driveway which passes in front of the main building and the small dormitories, etc. Attention is invited to the excel lent articles on "Trust Companies, or the Strength and Desirability of Good Trusts," by Robert C. Strong, now appearing in The Times. The articles are timely and a source of valuable information and will prove very helpful to those who wish to keep informed on public; questions. EDUCATION NOTES. Swedish gymnastics still retain their international favor. A confer ence rently held in Buenos Aires provided for a still further develop ment of the art in Argentina. Italian school children trained in the "Children's Houses" under the new Montessori method are said to have become "frenzied with joy" at finding they could write. The chil dren learn to write in incredibly short time under the new method, two Or throe months often being sufficient for . the smallest of. the tots. Among young people's societies In France one of the most interesting is La JeuneBse Republicaine, an as sociation devoted to the support and honor of the republic. At a recent public festival a youthful represen tative of the association offered in the name of his comrades a solemn pledge, closing with these words: "We proclaim our devotion, without reserve, to the republic of France. We will aid by every effort in the enfranchisement of the people to whom we belong, by means of sci ence, truth and justice." The English like our agricultural schools. After examining Cornell, Wisconsin, and other well-known in stitutions in the United States; a deputation reported its impressions In the following terms: "The un rivald position of Wisconsin in the production of cheese and butter Is the direct result of scientific teach ing happily wedded to prudent leg islation. If any one still doubts these things, and deems it worth while to go on repeating the scep tical question, "Can agriculture be taught?' our advice is that he should go to Canada and the United States and see the thing done, and done upon a great scale."

Sanitary Conditions in Southern Cities. With the possibility of bubonic plague being imported from South American ports, the sanitary situa tion in the south is of extreme im portance. The sanitary conditions in New Orleans, tiulfport. Mobile, Pensacola, Tampa, Key West, Savannah and Charleston are most favorable for the concealment . and spread of plague. The combined population of the above ports is 601,668, of which number at least 269,000 are negroes. This large number of negroes, alone, presents a heallh problem of seri ous magnitude. In recent years there has also grown up through out the south a very large Italian population, including many Sicilians. These people are but a few degrees removed IVom the negro, and in some instances worse, so far as per sonal hygiene and sanitary environ ments are concerned. Today the dock or ha.oir front of every port of the Smuh Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico presents a most inviting condition for the introduc tion and transmission of plague. The wooden docks and wharves of these ports are dangerous. From one end of these different ports to the other there stretch rows of wooden wharves, all overrun with rodents. The method of discharging cargo and dunnaging in these ports is not good. Cargo or freight should be placed above the ground, so as to prevent rodents from gaining access thereto in the easy manner now pos sible Ships coming from tropical ports are not properly supervised by the health authorities. Ships on which rodents abound tie next to the wharves and, in seeking food, the rodents find their way ashore and mingle with the native rat. If the ship rat is infected, the natural results may be easily imagined, tra precautions should be taken with ships engaged in the fruit, sugar and coffee trades and hailing from tropical ports. Ships' hawsers and cables are very rarely protected by rat shields and trapping devices. Ab solute safety demands nothing less than 'rat-proof landings, piers and wharves in every port on the At lantic seaboard and gulf coast. Very close to the (locks of these cities and within a stone s -throw of the ships berthed to the wharves are located Warehouses, freight depots, grain elevators, packing and cold storage plants, burlap and bag factories, cotton compresses, stave yards, stables and other industrial plants and institutions, all of which, it is safe to say. are overrun by rats. It has been shown that to gain ac cess the ship rat has but a short dis tance to travel. U is here that the intermingling of the native and ship rats will play havoc. Many of the above buildings are old, and in many instances poorly -constructed.'-. The rat-proofing of stables, res taurants, warehouses, grain eleva tors and residences for the various shipping centers of the south pre sents an appallingly large and com plex problem. The experience ot San Francisco, nevertheless, proves that it is feasible. The adoption of these measures alone will ensure to the south and the rest of the United States a reasonably permanent safe guard against the spread of plague, should it be introduced. A labora tory should also be .-equipped for ex amination of all rodents killed or found in the vicinity of the wharves and docks of the different ports. Without delay there should be estab lished in every shipping center a non-infcrtible zone between the resi dential section of the city and water front. For the .accomplishment of this drastic reform sanitary meas ures should .be directed to the- ex clusion of rats from the wharves and first, tiers of industrial blocks. Earnest co-operation between the people and health aulhoritiess in the enforcing of -all necessary health regulations should be secured. The attitude of the press toward radical, though absolutely necessary, health measures should be friendly, and not antagonistic or disparaging. The interests of the commercial organi zations of the entire south must be aroused, and the fact njust be im pressed on them that discussion and truth as to sanitary shortcomings are better than the policy of con cealment and silence often practiced in the past. The education of the people as a whole regarding the. dangers of. the rat should be con ducted in the same tnanner as va3 the anti-mosquito campaign in New Orleans during the yellow fever epidemic of l'.Hifi. Give the Dogs Water. The news that a dou was seen "frothing at the mouth"- entering yards In .the', western section of the city alarmed, vci-y naturally, persons residing in that section. And, very properly, the police set out tn search of the dog. Whether or not, there is more hy drophobia at this season that at oth er times of the year seems to be an onen Question. But there sue more sick dogs because dogs suffer, and often die. from heat. During -the lone torrid spell last summer thou sands of dogs succumbed, along with animals of various kinds, in cities One cause of extreme suffering, and frenuentlv a cause of death, is a need of water. Dog owners, should see to It that their pets are supplied with plenty of water. It should be clean and fairly fresh, and It should be where the doe can get it at any t'mo. During the spells dogs at large In the country go into streams or ponds and not only drink frequently, but also lie down In the water and get the benefit of cold baths. By the use of plenLy of water. Inside and out. they keen in health. A man would pretty soon "froth at the mouth,'' and would certainly be seen entering somebody's yard If he were at large In the street under a blazing sun without the privilege of going to a drinking fountain, a bar-room or a soda fountain and un able to ask tor a drink ot water, BIZO SAYS: "Revenge Is sweet, " says Shaka bush. Nthats what John I'ark said smorning when he got even with .lake Pope. The story runs ihusly: Jake Pope, bein' the police depart ment's most valiant, most consien shus and most beloved t") officer, known as the "auto-cop" of Raleigh, has, from Infancy, maintained a pro line and prolilic disdain for buzz wagons. Eight and a thirty-second miles per on the streets is "violat ing the law," accordn to Jake, and he has hauled more people into po lice court for "expeedn the seed lim it" thananybody I know or. Jake is the terror of the Raleigh motorist - and a few other pet names also by way of parenthesis. ' The twenty-eighth time that Jake invited John Park to answer speed charges, somewhat aroused the sportsman's ire (ire means maddern a wet hen), and the officer was told that there would come a recknin some sweet day. The recknin came toiav. When the big fire truck shot down Fay ctteville street at 58 per, John Park was mounted atop of it Inhclin the breeze as calmly as ho does on his little Hudson, while the police force is playin peenuckle. There wanj nobody in the crowd, that enjoyed the fun moren John Park as he shuck his fist at Jake, and ynlled I told you so," this lnn the first time in history that anyoody in a uauto ever outran a snail on Fay- etteville street, without bein arrest ed. . . : - ;' And a dog that is not supplied with water gets thirsty just as quickly as a man. - Of course, dogs ought to be muz zled, for their own protection, when at large in the street. Hut muzzled of unmuzzled, they should be pro vided with water. And the unmuz zled and thirsty dog is always In danger of being regarded as rabid and killed when he is merely "mad" for water.'-r-Courier-Journal.-" The Results Tell the Tale. A free trade policy would doubt less denote greater folly on our part than or the part of England, but if we choose to do so, we can pattern after England and repudiate the policy that has been firmly estab lished as the American system. Springfield Union. So far as we have seen or heard, there lias been no suggestion in any quarter that trie United States enter upon a policy of free trade. What the democratic party is pledged to is a "tariff for revenue only." Be tween -'this, and . free, trade there is both a distinction and a difference. But to refer to England's pursuit of the policy of virtual free trade as 'folly - is "nothing short of the acme of .foolishness.- Some sixty years ago, -when -Great Britain threw over board tariff protection and made trade wiih other nations as free as practicable, its merchant marine was less than Ilia! of .the' United Slates and its manufacturing industries were conspicuous by their absence. Today I'rilish bottoms handle ' more than half of the carrying trade of the world and the products of Brit ish looms, mills and factories pene trate to every corner of the globe. The proof of the pudding is in "chawing'' the bag. The command ing position occupied by England to day in relation to international com merce is its own convincing and con clusive testimony to the wisdom or virtual free trade. Virginian-Pilot.

' Sick llabies. iuc nrsi tnmg to do when the baby gets sick is to stop feeding it robably the milk is bad, anyhow, "ill - whether it be good or bad, it will disagree with a sick baby. In place of milk, the baby should take clean water from a clean bottle or a clean cup. If the trouble keeps up, there are milk substitutes which can be given until it is safe to gt 'e milk again. The physician or nurse will demonstrate how these a-e made. . The next step, after stopping the food, is to empty the child's intes tines of all fermenting, decomposing food. The parent is justified in go ing as far. in this line as the use of oil by the mouth and of simpie enemas by injection. If relief dees not come when these have acted, the mother is not justified in going further. She Bhould get help from a physician or nurse.

Tuberculosis is largely a personal matter. You ran let your 'physical vitality drop to such a low ebb that the wonder is that many mora of u-t do not get the disease, or we can obey.-the "laws of health and 1 uild up such a vigorous constitution with enormous reserve energy that it takes Father Time himself to bring us down. Why tuberculosis? When a man once gets physically "dovi and out" and knows what it means to merely drag around from morn ing till night, ho can not enjoy life, lie can not do his work weli, and if he Is a burden to himself, his family, and associates, lie would be wise to take a little time off and attend to himself, to lead the simpie life, cut out that which is bringing him down, and to get back his heulti. and vitality and be a man again, rather than fill an early consump tive grave. "Health is wealth" is a trite maxim, the truth of which every one appreciated best after having suffered from disease. indeed, health Is a most priceless treasure. When deprived of it, we arc willing to exchange for it everything else we possess; yet when well, we squander it ruthlessly, regardless of consequences.

Dear Sir": I have pleasure in forwarding you enclosed cutting from today's Wel don newspaper "The Roanoke News" entitled "I Shall Be Satisfied." A pathetic interest (not mentioned herein) is that Rev. R. W. Ander son quoted these lines at the con clusion of the very last sermon be preached in my church, a few weeks before he died. How soon ht re alized the truth of: "I then shall see thee, and be satisfied." Thinking perhaps you would care to use it. Yours sincerely, ALBERT NEW, Weldon, July 30. The clipping from the Weldon paper, with poem follows: "I Shall He Satisfied." The following beautiful poem is almost like a voice from the other world. Rev. Mr. Anderson, of SeX land Neck, wrote this and handed it to a member of Grace church here, just a few days before he wad called away from earth: Not here! not here, not where the sparkling waters Fade into the deserts as we draw near,' Where in the wilderness each foot step falters, I shull be satisfied: but oh! not here! Not here, where every dream of bliss deceives us, Where the worn spirit never gain3 its goal, Where, haunted ever by the thought that grieves us, Across us floods of bitter memory roll. , ',". There is a land where every pulse is thrilling With rapture earth's sojourners may not know Where Heaven's repose the weary heart is stilling, And peacefully lifes time-tosaed currents flow. Far out of sight, whiie yet the flesh enfolds us, Lies the fair country where our hearts abide, And of its bliss is nought more won drous told us Than these few words, "I shall be satisfied." Satisfied? Satisfied? the spirit's yearning For sweet companionship with kindred minds? The; silent love which here meets no returning? The inspiration which no language , finds? Shall they be satisfied? The soul's vague longing? The aching void which nothing - earth lv fills? O what desires upon my soul arc thronging A3 1 look upward to the heavenly hills! Thither my weak and weary feet are tending Saviour and Lord, with thy frail child abide! Guide' me toward home, where all my wanderings ending I then shall see Thee, and bo sat i.sfie! A Card. .
