Free Vaccination For Typhoid
Fever And Diphtheria Offered
“Every citizen, white and colored,
in Randolph county ‘should be immun
ized” against typhoid fever and diph
theria, reads a bulletin gotten out last
week by the Randolph County Board
of Health in announcing free vaccina
tion to prevent these two diseases.
Vaccination is a safe, certain, pain
less and*convenient protection against
these two diseases. These two ene
mies of mankind can be almost eradi
cated by vaccination. This is no idle
statement, but is borne out by facts.
In order that the people of Ran
dolph m&y be immunized from these
disea^s, the county board of health
through Dr. G. H. Sumner, county
health officer, who will assume his
dirties August 1st, have set dates and
places for'free vaccination of which
the people of the county, regardless of
color, are not only invited but urged
to avail themselves. Everybody from
three years 6f age on up should be
vaccinated against typhoid, says Dr.
Sumner, and every child from the age
of six months to ten years should be
vaccinated against diphtheria.
Three treatments are necessary to
immunize the patient from either of
the diseases, and these three treat
ments should be given a week apart.
Jt is necessary, therefore, that those
who desire to take advantage of free
vaccination attend the first dispensary
in order that they may have advan
tage of the entire course of vaccina
tion.
' Following are the dates and places
of the first itinerary, the second to be
held at the same place, a week later
and the third a week later than the
second: .

Give An Account
Of Stay In China
Misses Carson And Most Speak
Interestingly Of Experiences
In That Country.
A unique and interesting meeting
was held at the Presbyterian church
in Asheboro Tuesday afternoon when
Miss Maude Carson and Miss Helen
Most gave an account of their four
and one-half years stay in China. Miss
Carson is the niece and guest of Miss
May McAlister, who lives in the old
McAlister home on Worth Street.
Miss Carson is principal of- the
George C, Smith Girls School.. at
Soochow, China, and has served for
two years. Miss Jlost is head of the,
Elizabeth Blake Hospital, also at
Soochow, and is visiting Miss Carson
at the home of Miss McAlister. The
meeting at the church began with
the two young ladies in native Chinese
costumes presenting a scene in China
when a Chinese comes to the mission
house for tea, giving the manners and
ceremonies of the tea. Miss Carson
then made an informal and charming
talk about her impressions pf her four
and one-half years as a Missionary
there. Souvenirs, curios, dolls show
ing the native dress of the women and
men of China, lovely linens and silks
were also displayed. In conclusion
Miss Carson expressed her conviction
that the Mission work in China has
only been temporarily crippled, but
not permanently, hurt. Aside from
being most splendid workers, both
young women have charming per
sonalities and Miss Carson, who has
spent much of her time in Asheboro
has many friends here who welcome
her home for her leave. She expects
to return to China as soon as her va
cation is over and conditions there
will permit.

District Game Warden Discasses
New North Carolina Game Law
W. C. Lisk, of Richfield, Route 2,
recently appointed fish and game
warden for the fifth district, was in
Asheboro Monday enroute to Mont
gomery county on business ■ incident
to the duties of his office. His dis
trict includes the counties of 'Ran
dolph, Davidson, Montgomery, Rich
mond, Stanly, Cabarrus, Rowan, Ire
dell and Alexander. Mr. Lisk’s du
ties include the issuing of fish and
game licenses in his district, the rec
ommendations for appointment of
county game wardens in each county,
and the enforcement of the State
game and fish law in general.
The appointment of district fish and
game wardens indicates that North
Carolina is starting out to carry out
the provisions of its State-wide game
ahd fish law passed at the last ses
sion of the general assembly. One of
the big jobs before the deputies who
will enforce the game law is the
creation of respect for the law in or
der that the person who violates its
provisions may be looked upon by his
neighbors as one who has transgress
ed oh the rights of the public.
Mr. Lisk will be in Asheboro and
Randolph county from time to time in
performance of his duties. In the
I meantime anyone desiring informa
tion relative to any phase of the ,law
should communicate with him at Rich
field, Route 2. Mr. Lisk stated 'that
| the sheriff by virtue of his office is
ex-officio game warden for the county
and so are his deputies. Licenses may
be had by applying direct to Mr. Lisk.
In discussing the game law, Mr.
Lisk pointed out that farmers are af
forded double protection under the
new law in that the State will prose
cute any hunter found without license
while the farmer can prosecute for
trespass provided the hunter has not

Little Jane Sham burger
Claimed By Death Sunday
Jane Shamburger, the eight-year
old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. B.
Shamburger, of Star, died Sunday.
The little girl had been in poor health
practically all her life and was the
victim of measles and influenza in
the spring, after which she had been
declining in health. She was stricken
intensely ill a week prior to her
death. Jane was an attractive little
girl, genial in disposition, pleasing in
manner and was the idol of her par
ents and sisters. In Star and through
out her acquaintances she was be
loved and was admired for her beauty
and loveliness. Besides her parents
she is survived by four sisters, all of
Star, Misses Mary Ina, Annie, Fran
ces and Elizabeth.
The funeral service was conducted
at the residence by her pastor. Four
little friends sang during the service
and her young friends acted as flow
er bearers. The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful. Many
people from all sections of the State
•attended the funeral and burial.

obtained permission to hunt on the
land in question. Should one desire
to fish in Randolph the license is $1
plus a fee of 10 cents, while the State
license is $2 plus a fee of 10 cents, as
has been previously stated in this
newspaper. Hunting license for the
county is $1 plus ar fee of 25 cents,
while a state-wide hunting license is
$5 plus the 25-cent fee. Non-resi
dent hunter’s license is $15 and fee.
It will be recalled that the county
commissioners for Randolph recently
passed a resolution to the effect that
the county would not charge an ad
ditional license for non-resident hunt
ers as has been the custom in the
past.
These licenses should bring in con
siderable revenue, according to Mr.
Lisk, who illustrated with the exper
ience Pennsylvania has had with a
state-wide game law. The first year
under the Pennsylvania state law 40,
000 licenses were sold, whereas last
year the sale of licenses reached 380,
000. Pennsylvania, though more
densely populated than North Caro
lina, through its game law, which is
similar to the new North Carolina
law, has become one of the best states
in the union for hunting and fishing.
The revenue from the sales of licenses
has enabled the state to provide game
preserves and to stock the streams in
the state with fish.
The department of conservation
and development which has general
supervision of the North Carolina
game and fish law is providing liter
ature relative to the provisions of the
new law, copies of which will soon
be ready for distribution. This liter
ature is expected to help educate the
*ppople as to the law and to in a meas
ure assist in creating a sentiment in
favor of game preservation.

whose home is in Albemarle, but who
has been in Asheboro for some time

prevented from presiding over court
this week on account of some business
matters which required his attention,
and Judge Lyon was sent here to
finish the court.
The case which has attracted the
most attention, that of A. L. Langley
against the Staley Hosiery Mills Com
pany, in which the plaintiff asked
damages of $5,000 for alleged pollu
tion of waters on his land from dye
stuffs coming from the hosiery mill,
was finished Friday with a verdict of
$1,200 for the plaintiff. This case
had occupied the time of the court
since late Monday afternoon. The
defendant moved to set aside the ver
dict, but this motion was overruled by
Judge Finley. Notice was then given
of appeal to the Supreme court, bond
fixed in the amount of $50 and the
defendant allowed 50 days from last
day of court to effect appeal and the
plaintiff 30 days thereafter to file a
counter case of exceptions.
Other cases disposed of last week
included W. D. Bowman against the

whereby the plaintiff is to recover
$250 from the plaintiffs. Judgment
