It was proposed by Secretary
Flynn that Dr. Stanley Krebs be ehta#ad~fm

proposed to have him deliver ens tec- ;

"Salesmanship," and one or two gsn- I
eral lectures In addition, at wblek an i
admission of fifty cents would be i
charged. The suggestion met with f
approval, and the Secretary was inatructed
to begin negotiations with t
Dr. Krebs. It wiH be seen; that many
of those who did not bestir them- (
selves sufficiently to hear ata the t
first time.^-whlle they may still make ,
up for what they missed, have prob- r
ably thrown away their last fctrancc t
of hearing this noted, authority for (

ever, has said ho > would cheerfully. ,

was requesting a permit from the
Secretary of the Treasurer for Inserting

Mr. Small stated that both he and

The nim? of My.. Joseph F. Tayloe
of Washington is being mentioned
for the position of Collector of InI
ternal Revenue for the Eastern Dis|
trltSt of North Carolina. 'This is an
appointive ?Ace. and there arcjpany
**W believe Mr. Tayloe should have
j the appointment, first, because he Is
eminently fitted to discharge the duties
of the office, and secondly, be- ,
! hla \nr%r ?nrt
deservqp recognition at the hands of
the party.
Thus far, Mr. Tayloe is the only
oandfdate for this position, and It Is
extremely unlikely that any one else
will dispute his right of precedence
in this matter of appointment. His
1 friends boldly challenge all those .
"Who think they can show a nobler
record of. achievement, not'merely 1
fnr a party, hut for the upbuilding of :
the State, to come forward with their 1
claims.
Mr. Tayloe was* born 41 years ago
on October 8, 1878, in Washington, {
N. C. When we trace back his long
political record, we find that he has
been'extremely active in politics from J
the time he was 18 years of age ut>
tothe present time. He has canvassed
this county again and again
since 1892.
His .service* were especially notable
during the trying period of
1896. when the whole country un- '
derwent such a memorable political
upheaval, and In 189 8-19A0. the pe- '
riod of the adoption of the Constitu- ,
uur.ai amendment wmcn practically
disfranchised the mas3 of negroes, '
and of the race riots over Eastern 1
Carolina, and of the stormy times 1
generally brought oh by the Republiean-Popullst
fusion rule. !
I HO has been member of the city I
Council of Washington, and in 1902
Was elected Treasurer of -Jleuufort
jjounty, eerring until 1910. !
_ For the past several years he has
te?ld a position of such tnjljn'xive^hax.
1WT hhh beeri enabled lo make )iis
presence felt for good in various directions.
For instance, any. citizen
will tell yw that he has done more
. tor publiq^lohoolfl in Beaufort than
any man in the County, and that the
present strong sentiment for flrstclast-Bchool
facilities Is largely due to
. his personality. - ?i -
For some years he was chairman
of the Second Senatorial District.
He was a delegate to the Democratic
National Convention of 1904
and he attended the Convention of
1912 in Baltimore.
Immediately thereafter, ho took
the stump for both the State and National
ticket, making effective and
[ earnest plfttaTSr tne-success of Deraocracy
from one end of the dlstfict
( to the other.
He is a member of the North Caro- I
lina Agricultural Socletv?which
- ama, to put it in?plain Bngllfh, "
that he Is one of the big men behind
the State fair at Raleigh. In 1904
! he was prevailed upon to aerve as
chief marshall for the Fair.
It will naturally be Inferred from
the above that Mr. Tayloe is a good
mixer among men. and possesses
wide popularity, so If will nonssion
no surprise when It is stated that he
is an active member of the Knights
of Pythias, the-Improved Order of
Red Men, the Benevolent and ProteM
live Order of Elks, and the Chai^^
able Brotherhood.
While practically the whole State
endorses his appointment, for the
benefit of those who have paid little
attention to politics in this section,
the Dmily News has collected the few
jbttings of biographical data above
given, in order that all may knov^
how Mr. Tayloe stands among the
citlxens of hiq community.

WARNING! D.ANGKKt
Smallpox Threatens Ihe VnvacclnoV
41 " So Quarantine WRl lie Kh_.U*Vi*?d!
-can protect yourself
through Vacclnatkin. lie vaccinated
or take the consequences.
Smallpox, the most contagious dispaad
known to science, has recently
ppearedtn jWf community. All
who have not been successfully vaccinated
within the last five years are in
lauger .of contracting the disease unless
they arevacchnttedat once. If
rou have not been vaccinated, you
have good cause for alarm; If you
have, yon need have no fear of contracting
smallpox.
The State Board of Health nq
longer advocates or Insists upon the
quarantine of smallpox. The Board
Lakes this position for three reawnt
. -^.y.TFirst.
Quarantine is an uncertain
protection; vaccination a certain protection.
Quarantine works positive
harm in many cases by giving people
falve sense of fcority against the
fllscaec, thereby tempting tbem to
forego the certain protection whicl*
TMciDAtioB would give then.
Second, Quarantine is a very protection.
The cost of the quarantine
of smallpox to the State in recent
years ha* approximated filOO.OOO annually,
or enough to more than mainUU
the State llniveraity!
Third. Quarantine ia inequitable.
By it the iajre* that all contribute
are n*ed to protect a clam. The mar
jority of the people, having been vaccinated,
aeenre no protection from
quarantine, an they are already protected.
Vaccination 1m a duty?a duty,
first, to one's self, and, second, tc
one's community. Ifon should preserve
your own health in ortler to accomplish
the moKt good possible in
the world, and you should take precautions
to prevent your carrying disease-to>
other*. ?*"
We believe the above stated principles
represent the concensus of
opinion of North Carolina people
and we believe the management of
smallpox, based upon these principles,
will represent the Will of a majority
of our people.
We are giving this warning be

sputtering fuse was extinguished after
it had been burned .more than
half the distance to the safe.
The robbers were prevented tronr
