The Victory of Vaccination The Battle With Smallpox. The victory of science over smallpox through vaccination is one of the greatest sanitary vic tories ever won. Jenner, the discoverer of this method of pre vention, is considered by many authorities the greatest bene factor of the race that ever lived. Lord Macaulay, in his History of England, describing the di sease in England before vaccina tion, wrote : 1 'That disease, over which science has achieved a succession of glorious and bene ficient victories, was then the most terrible of all ministers of death. The smallpox was al ways present, filling the church yards with corpses, tormenting with constant fear all whom it had not yet stricken, leaving on those whose lives it spared the hideous traces of its power, turn ing the babe into a changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of a betrothed maiden objects of horror to the lover.' ' In the latter part of the eigh teenth century and the early part of the nineteenth century one-tenth of all deaths in civi lized countries resulted from this disease. Ninety-five per cent of the population of Europe had the disease at some period of their lives. Every year in Europe 400,000 deaths were caused by this 'pesta magna. ' ' Some countries have taken ad vantage of this great discovery; others have not had the faith in this truth necessary to save. It may.be interesting to observe the effect of smallpox where vaccination is compulsory and where it is only optional. Be tween 1870 and 1874, in three years, an epidemic of this di sease in Austria and Prussia caused the death of 162,000 Au strians and 172,000 Prussians. Prussia, profiting by her dread ful experience, passed a compul sory vaccination law; Austria did not. Result: Prussia, with a population 8,000.000 greater twenty years 8,500 people from this disease, while Austria dur ing the same time lost 239,000. Another demonstration of the saving power of vaccination is seen in the French and German armies in the great war between these countries. The French army had not enforced compul sory vaccination; the German army had, and the German sol diers were all vaccinated. Re sult: The French army lost over 25,000 soldiers from smallpox; the German army, although holdincr the French prisoners and living with them, lost only 350 from the disease. Still another demonstration of the protection afforded by vacci nation is seen when we compare the annual death rates per mil lion population in countries with compulsory vaccination and those without compulsory vaccination. Compulsory vaccination: Ger many, 1.1; Denmark, 0.5; Swed en, 2.1; Norway. 0.6. Noncompulsory vaccination : Belgium, 99.9; Russia, 46.3; Spain, 56.3; Hungary, 134.4. In this connection it is well to remember that it is not claimed that vaccination will always pre vent smallpox. It furnishes a protection equal to that of hav ing had the disease; but a few neonle will have the disease I x twice. People are always most inter ested in what concerns them Wat. This is why a horse race draws a bigger crowd than a prayer meeting. PROGRAM OF CONCORD TOWN SHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-VENTION.

AMBITION. When I was young I used to dream of scaling all the heights of fame, I said:" "I'll make the than $515,000, the number of in old world scream when it be- dividuals holding property in fee holds my wondrous game". And simple from 825 to 1,250, and I had visions fair of irold. and the number of bank depositors Drincelv gems of East and West; for then mv heart was young and bold, and raised a rumpus in mv breast. I dreamed of rul- imr hosts of men by virtue of my strength and grace, or, by the movement of my pen, to shake a nation to its base. But now that I am old and fat. and full nf nrnnpsanri shrpHflpfl Viav say to such ambitions: "Scat! have a better dream this day!" of all o-oiH hriMtft t.h worst, is fame; it only comes to grieve an vpy to makP a man t.hfl daily game of album fiends and rubbernecks. If I can do some croud today 1 shall not murmur or repine; if I can help some weary jay whose luck in life was worse than mine, I'll seeK my downy couch this night, and my old heart will glow, in truth, with visions far more dazzling bright than all the golden dreams of youth. I tell you this, my friend, again, and you may paste it in your tile: This graft of helping fellow-men is all that makes our lives worth while. Walt Mason. THE NEGRO AND THE "NEW SOUTH". A New York contemporary asks whether a recent, outbreak against the negroes in a Texas town is a manifestation of the spirit of the New South. It de clares that the savagery of that outbreak could no have been exceeded in Ohio or Illinois. While there are occasional race riots in the Southern States,, as in the other states, and while it is true that the old-time feeling of confidence in their white neighbors among the negroes has been somewhat impaired by the politicians, the old friendly feeling for the colored race still lives in the South. The liberal attitude of the Legislature and the white people of Alabama to ward Booker Washington's school attests this feeding. There are other manifestations of St it hern friendship and helpfulness to ward the negro, less conspicuous than Tuskegee, but no less real. The Petersburg Index-Appeal gives an account of a recent meeting of "The St. Paul's Farm ers Conference" at Lawrence ville, in Brunswick county, Va. This work is conducted by the negroes of Brunswick county un der the audience of St. Paul's Episcopal School. At the recent meeting more than 2,500 persons were present, and some of the effects of the movement are giv en in the report published in the Index-Appeal. Among these ef fects, in the views of our con temporary, are "the elevated moral tone of the negro's social and business life, the lowered rate of criminal expense intthe country (which has pretty nearly reached the vanishing point,) and the steady progress of the race to the higher standards which qualify it for the responsi bilities of citizenship." And. the Index-Appeal adds, "the white people of the section are justly proud of St. Paul's." The president of the conference, a. colored man, said that ' 'their county jail stood open half the wnl. T, Tiroa5liaflt ,ruvo w t.W rpsnlha of thp wnrlr of thv conference. In the si: years f ., , ;J mzea, ne saia, me noiuings oj. land by colored people . have in- creased from 40,000 acres to 54, 000 in 1910, an increase of some 14,000 acres; the value of real and personal property has in- creased from $325,000 to more from practically none Ho 200, with check accounts and certifi- cates of deposits aggregating more than $25,000. Their pride in such a work as this and the spirit of helpfulness exnimtea oy tne wmte people of Brunswick county toward their colored neighbors are mam- festations of the snirit of the New South", which does not dit fer from the Old South. In points oi tact, most or tne taiK about a New South is absurd. Tne Urn bouth contained a true and noble civilization and high ideals. The spirit of the Old South has survived social revo lution and material ruin. A few years ago they told us Hill Billies that it was high Pro tective Tariff that caused low prices and cheap labor; and we were fool enough to believe it. xTM,uoeamDWwaafflrmti,af it is the same high Tariff that has brought about the present high cost of living. TAKE THE CASE GENTLEMEN. -Ex. THAT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION I Aycock Speaks-Full Ticket Nominated , Ring Rule in Evidence-Steam Roller Lays Flat Democratic Hopes. By A. Newman. (Delayed from last week.) The Democratic Convention met in the Court house in Ashe boro Saturday and the "slate" was promptly carried out as ar ranged beforehand. Symbolic of the means used to increase Democratic majorities a modern adding machine was brought in and placea on the table in front of the Chairman. The Conven tion was one continuous uproar and try as he might the Chair man could get nothing resemb ling order at any time during the convention. Ex-Governor Aycock (of mocking bird fame) was the big gun selected to rally the faithful and keep them in the ranks, and his plea for har mony was oiiougn to turn a bright June day into an ice factory. His assertion that the Republicans only selected a Chairman to dispense pie, and did not know that they had to nominate officers, caused smiles to pass over the faces of the great number of Republicans present. He showed his ignor ance of matters pertaining to Randolph County when he said that the Democrats should carry the County this fall by one thou sand majority. The truth of the matter is that they will not carry the county at all and this is what is causing so much bustle in the camp of the enemy. The conve ition. proper began af ter dinner and then was when the fun began. The call for nominations for the general as sembly brought forth several names, none of whom would allow their name to stand, but when we take into consideration the fact that the Republicans have already nominated York, and Redding, we are not at a loss to know the reason why. Mr. Ross made a short speech withdrawing his name, but the noise was so great that not one fourth of the people present h.naxxT -Unt- VioVmrl Iippii snpalcino- Someone finally moved that the convention nominate the county officers first and it carried. Will Hammond, the present clerk of court was nominated for a third term on the first ballot. The real fun began when nomi nations were in order for sheriff. This office seemed to be seeking several men at the same time, (office always seeks Democrats) among the number being the present Sheriff Hayworth, Ken nedy, Burns, and Birkhead. When sufficient order was re stored tt e convention proceeded to vote, but no one having got a majority, the voting began in earnest but thenj was no nomi nation on the second ballot so a third ballot was declared. Here is where steam roller tactics was plainly evident for instead of changing gradually from one candidate to another, Birkhead showed sudden strength and most of the townships voted solid for him, showing plainly that they had been instructed when to break in his favor. Someone from Randleman town ship made a mighty plea for a vote getter for, his township in the person of Burns, but that part of the "slate" was already "fixed" and plead as he would his prayer was unanswered. Burns seemed to be the choice of the people but the ring said "no" and his doom was sealed. - It mattered little to the Repub licans who the dems put out for Brady will be our next Sheriff in Dairy Products as Food. The products of the dairy are j nprlinns flip mnst nspfnl nrtirlps --w, v.. - - " included in the human diet. A meal made up of dishes into which no product of the dairy cow enters would not be such as to inspire "the turnpike road to people's hearts I find lies through their mouths, or I mistake man kind." Take away the butter for the bread, the cream for the cof fee and the porridge, the short ening in the crust and the bis cuits, the milk in the gravy and in the puddings, the cream for the dessert and the various kinds of cheese which please and satis fy, then take away the cup of milk for the little one and the meal that would be left would be neither tempting nor nutritious. The health of our people de pends so much upon an adequate supply of pure dairy products that even a scarcity is always attended by suffering and death. Butter is sometimes referred to as a luxury. This is a mis take. Butter is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life, and its composition is such that nothing can take its place and perform the same functions. It is nature's product compounded in the maternal organism and the process is in accordance with nature's law, a law which man can imitate but cannot under stand. Man can manufacture from various fats and oils a sub stitute for butter but it cannot take the place of nature's pro duct because man cannot under stand the needs of the human body as nature understands them. The animal body is developed best when nourished by foods which have been little manipu lated by man and machinery. Dairy products are, as a rule, consumed nearly as nature pro duced them. This is particular ly true with milk upon which the growing body must depend. In the case of butter only a small percentage of other products are added to the fat extracted from the milk. Man only manipulates it in order to put it in convenient shape for use. It can still be termed a product of nature de signed as only nature can de sign for use as food by the hu man body. The National Dairy Union. : Ever since Cain was able to whip Able, men who were able have "raised Cain". Lots of men regard home as merely a place to change clothes. spite of the Democratic machine methods. No doubt that the friends of Steve will be down in the mouth inasmuch as the con vention nominated Hammond for a third term and refused their choice of the same honor, but after all it will be the better for none of the ticket put out will be elected. The voters of Randolph county are getting tired of Democratic trickery and they are going to put a crimp in the ring rule at the next election. It is useless to name the rest of the candi dates that were nominated, suf fice it to say that there is no danger whatever of any of them being elected in the coming election. The Republicans have named a ticket of which they may justly be proud, and if every Republican voter in the county will do his duty from now until the day of the election, we will need that Democratic adding machine to count up the majority! BILIOUS1? CONSTIPATED? HEADACHE? FOR SPEEDY RELIEF. Nearly Evi-body TJUCE3 SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR wSyotVOU? PRIMARIES NORTH AND SOUTH. Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri has lately expressed his regret at a tendency among Western Democrats to unite with the Republican insurgents, their own party suffering in conse quence. Possibly one cause of this situation is that the weak ness derived by the Republican party from its alliance with special interests has for many years been off set by its positive quality its habit of doing things, while the Democratic party too often has been merely against things being done. It may be that many Western Democrats feel more confidence in the abili ty of insurgent Republicans to bring about needed reforms than they credit their own party with possessing. But the principal explanation of their course, we think, lies in the natural desire every one has to join in a main fight rather than in an affair on the side. The main fight was in the Republican ranks; here the contest over which men and which issues would prevail was fought out, and many Democrats desired to play their part in the settlement. It is by this means that the primary tends to make States which are politically one sided more one-sided still; and this is the principal reason why most Democrats practical politi cians in the South heartily favor it. If the opposition party be really formidable, however, every one recognizing the fact, the effect of a hard primary fight may be disastrous. It is difficult to say in which class North Caro lina now belongs, and hence nearly all Democrats recogniz2 that there are some excitements too costly for them by far. The great weight of opinion favors primaries framed with a view to this condition, and a self-restrant in the actual contests according ly. As a question of statesman ship and not of politics, there is no enlightened citizen who can with satisfaction contemplate the' workings of any agency which tends to maintain a solid North and a solid South.
