The Chatham Record. H. A. LONDON, Editor. . WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1913. A HUMBUG EXPOSED. . . . ' . It is astonishing how many in- telltgent persons allow themselves to be humbugged. Nearly every day some humbug is exposed, but still swindlers find plenty of dupes. We mentioned recently how the negroes in this vicinity had thrown away their hard earned dollars on a lot of so called medicines sold them by some travelling salesmen. Such ignorant dupes are more to be pitied than blamed, but when in telligent men are duped by pat ent medicine men they can hard ly be pitied. We refer to this now because in a recent press bulletin of the North Carolina State Board of Health is an exposure of an in strument called the ' 'oxypathor, " which seems to have found many ' dupes among intelligent persons. From that press bulletin we copy the following: . '.'The Oxypathor fake was ex- Dosed at the state fair last week largely because the Oxypathor ComDanv erected their exhibit immediately across the aisle from the better babies contest and be cause thev flung out a banner with the well-known slogan. "Save the babies, " followed by pictures of babies and statements to the effect that the Oxypathor would cure many diseases of children, including diphtheria and other highly dangerous dis eases. ' 'That was too much. If grown ups see fit to waste their money on fakes, they may do so. but when it comes to literally killing innocent babes and children by wasting time with a highly pol ished gas pipe, sealed at both ends, filled with worthless black powder and wired, it is time for some one to protest. "The Oxypathor bought by the State Board of Health from the Carolina Oxygenator Company was found to be simply a highly polished gas pipe about six or seven inches long, sealed at both ends, and filled with a worthless black powder. Wire cords were attached to both ends, and pads were attached to these cords. The most delicate tests possible were applied to the apparatus by Professor Browne, Professor of Physics at A. and M. College, West Raleigh, and he failed to find any . physical, chemical or other known force generated, carried, transmitted or given off by the device when tried accord ing to directions. "So far as the instrument it" self is concerned, it is absolutely worthless in curing disease. One might just as well use a tin can with strings attached to both ends. In fact, the State Board of Health is now suggesting that, for the sake of economy, those people desiring an Oxypathor try this substitute. The board guar antees that it will do just as much good, and it will save them a lot of money." THE MEXICAN SITUATION. Dispatches from Mexico City state that President Huerta has been told he must resign the presidency of Mexico without loss of time and that he must not leave as his successor Gen. Blan quet, his Minister of War, or any other member of his official fam ily or of the unofficial coterie 1 . wnom ne might be expected to control. This ultimatum from Washington ws conveyed to President Huerta through his private secretary by the Ameri '.can Charge d' Affaires, acting under instructions from the State Department. Those who learned of the Washington note regard General Huerta's position as one in which he willJbe forced to give one of two answers-refusal point blank to comply with the demand, pos sibly going so far as to hand the diplomatic representative his passports, or the elimination of himself officially. Those most intimate with the President in sist that the latter course will not be taken for many reasons, chief among which is that such action would be tantamount to ! submission to the rebels. Official I Mexico is no longer in doubt that the Washington Administration favors the rebel cause and is convinced that this is the means adopted by President Wilson and Secretary "Bryan to assist Car ranza to win. The situation is verv critical ana each day s developments are anxiously awaited. University Items. Chapel Hill,Nov. 3. The mem- I bership of the North Carolina debating union is growing apace. From Manteo, Poplar Branch and Elizabeth City on the east to Bry son City and Sylva on the west the high schools from all the in- termediate sections of the state are enlisting for the debating contest of 1913-1914. The list of high schools now number 57, namely: Durham, High Point, Raleigh, Charlotte, Concord, Hendersonvi lie, Pleasant Garden, Apex, Poplar Branch, Mt. Airy, Pittsboro, Asheville, Bay Leaf, Washington, Elon College, Ab- bottsburg, Tarboro, Louisburg, Weldon, Hawfields, Oak Ridge, Edenton, Mt. Ulla, Lenoir, Gra ham, Mt.

In an article appearing in the Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, issued quar terly by the University, Dr. Jo seph Hyde Pratt credits western North Carolina as a pioneer in the discovery and manufacture of iron in the United States, the manufacturing of the mineral dating back to the pre-Revolu-tionary period. The manufac ture of the iron was carried on by what is termed the Catalan forge blown by water trompe, such forges being in operation in Ashe, Mitchell and Cherokee counties as late as the year 1893. ihese forges supplied not only the home consumption, but the excellent quality of the ore mined advertised the mineral products of western North Carolina in all parts of the country. 'Discussing the topic, "Negro Life in the South," before the student body of the State Uni versity. Dr. W. B. MacNider, of the medical faculty, centered his attention on the health and hy gienic conditions of the negro. Adjustment to American climate and more recently adjustment to town and city life, have been the two severe strains upon the health sources of the negro, is the contention of the University professor. Tuberculosis, malaria and venereal diseases have con tributed chiefly to high death rate of the negro, said Dr. Mac Nider. 'Wanderlust" is the title of a book written by Solicitor Robert R. Revnolds, of the class of 1905 of the University, a copy of which has been received bv the University library. It is dedi cated to O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, and. Bernard M. Conlon, and the book is a story of the ex periences of its author as en countered in extensive travels to this and other countries. Under the plan of exchange professorship existing between the United States and JaDan. the University of North Carolina for three weeks during January will have the services of Dr. Sosuke, of Tohoku University, Japan. His lectures will treat of the progress of Japan during the past ntty years. It has been definitely announc ed by the athletic authorities of the University that Carolina and Wake Forest will play their sec ond football game of the season in Durham November 15, The game supplies the date made va cant by the Carolina-A. and M. cancellation. S. R. W. Some Potato ! Editor of The Record: Noticing the. accounts of sev eral reporting five and six and one-half pound potatoes. I wish to say to them to come down to Sand Hill township, Moore coun ty, and learri the art. Mr. D. J. Campbell raised one that tipped the scales at 14 pounds. I al ways dislike to see old Chatham beaten, but can't let Mr. Green brag of a little six-pound potato. Yours truly, ROBT. G. FARRELL. Aberdeen. N. C, Nov. 31, '12. Sanford Express: The biggest corn crop ever produced in this section is now about all gathered and housed- Some of the farm ers have made enough corn to supply seeds for the next two years. Mr. G. E. Phillips. of Pocket township, picked 404 pounds of cotton last Friday., He stopped 15 minutes for dinner and quit picking at 5:30 in the evening. If there were a few pickers on every farm in Lee county like Mr. Phillips there would be no cotton turned under next spring to make room for the new crop. Nearly Every Child has Worms.

No satisfactorv seed treat ment is known. The fungus may remain alive on the old talks during the winter; and cotton should not be planted in the same field the next year unless it has been fall or winter plowed to bury stalks. To avoid the disease, do not plant contaminated seed. ; Safe seed of any variety can be se cured from a moderately infect ed field if it is picked separately from stalks that have no diseased bolls and that stand a few feet away from affected stalks. If only a small amount can be se cured, plant it in a special seed pbt from which a large amount of clean seed can be had the year following. Be careful to have gins well cleaned if they have been used for diseased cotton. Fortunately the disease is rath er restricted as yet; but it is in creasing at a dangerous rate. It is first brought into new locali ties in seed grown elsewhere. Growers are warned not to buy any cotton seed for planting un less reliably assured that it is free from disease. Take imme diate steps to free your farm of this disease by the seed selection method. Get your neighbors to do the same.
