Everybody j, seen:ed to have a good u '-u^rnson, of the world that maintain navies will be invited to come to San Diego on board a warship and take part in the greatest naval pageant the world has ever seen. San Diego has a harbor of suf ficient proportions to contain such an immense fleet as this event will cause to assemble here, and all conditions surround ing it are favorable for such maneuvers and practice opera tions as may be fitting such an occasion.. It is to this harbor that the war vessels of the Paci fic squadron come for target practice with their big guns, and here the torpedo fleet of the Pac*ifie, the submarine fighting vessels and the army and navy airship corps, have their practice the year around. No estimate can yet be made of the number of war vessels that will gather here on this occasion, but already San Diego and the San Diego Exposition officials are preparing to entertain the officers and men of the world’s navies in a fitting man ner and to make of their coming here a great world event: the greatest of its kind ever known. The Merchant Supply Co, are making extensive spreparation for an unusual large trade during the fall and winter months. The recently erected walls are b^ing extended and ’the storage room will double its present capacity. Alaotance. As wsjs announced last week, there will be a joint meeting of the County Bikrd of Commis* sioners, the County B(^d of Health, and the County E^ard of Education on next Monday, Sept. 8, for the purpose of considering the proposition of electing a whole-tinae officer for Alamance County. Eight or ten of the leading counties of the State have made provision for this health officer and are well pleased with his work. The conditions in Al amance are such that the county cannot afford to be without the services of such an officer and it is very important that this pro gressive step should be taken. Let everyone interested in this matter of public health meet with the County Boards and con sider this proposition with them. The chief asset of any people is their health a.id life. In ai* average county in North Caroli* na there occur about 540 deaths. Of these, 200 are from prevent able causes; 78 are due to con sumption; 15 are due to typhoid fever; 15 are due to contagious diseases; 8 are due to chilJs and fever; and 45 deaths of chiidren under two years of age are caus ed by summer complaint, in ad dition to this, there are on an average 1000 sick people in your county during the year; there are 2^ consumptives, many of whom are absolutely ignorant of the effects of careless spitting, sneezing, and eoughing:,^ and who are going about distribut ing this dreadful disease to oth ers; there are every year in your county 120 cases of typhoid fev er, 145 cases of contagious dis eases; and from 500 to 1060 cases of malaria. Th§ above facts show some thing of the work and of the great use of a whole-time health officer. If a part of the above sickness and death is of a pre ventable nature, if is the plain duty of the county to take some steps to prevent this sickness and death. Besides having control of epidemics and of working to prevent the spread of prevent- a die diseases, the health ofSeer has an important work to do in connection with the scliools. He vi-ii-s the different schools of the coaaty every year and ejcamines the children for adenoids, de fects of vision or of hearing, and for hookworms. He also makes suggestions as to the sanitary ar rangements of the school and strives to better the present con ditions. The health officer also keeps the vital statistics^ en forces quarantines^ and looks af ter the county’s dependants. The above facts show clearly the need of a whole-time health officer and also show some of his work^ though his duties are un- limit^. With such conditions affecting life and health as are found in Alamance County the county cannot afford to do with out a whole»time officer to look after these conditions. If you are interested in this movement and in the standing of the coun ty in public health and sanita tion be sure and attend the meet ing at the Court House on Sep tember 8. 156 Soois Receive Freedom. According to the discussion made by the City Fathers Mon day night 156 dogs which have heretofore been muzzled accord ing to law have been set at liber ty to bark, bite and to have their freedom when they feel so dis posed. Why this is necessary we are unable to understand since the Board rendered a deci sion that all dogs must be muz zled only a few months ago. It appears that this law did. not meet the approval of the mem bers of the Board. No child is safe on the streets with these ferocious animals running at large. W^ith the unnecessary ex pense of sending the children to Raleigh to the Pastuer to receive treatment to say nothing of the mental anguish and worry which is unnecessarily heaped upon cit izens of our town all because the worthless dog is to be permitted to remain unmuzzled, taking the lives of our people. We sincere- Hotice to Teadiers and Popils of Tlie City GnMSdntoK Boriington, N C The City Graded Schools will open S e p t. 8 t h , at 8:45 A. M. The teachers and pupils will assemble at their respective rooms and grades according to standing or promotion at the close of last session. If, as a pupil, you did not attend school last year and do not know what grade to enter, come to the Superin tendent’s office. The hell will ring Monday at 8:30 and at 8:45 A.M. We request that no pupil leave home until the ringing of the first bell at 8:45 A. M. unless by so doing such an one cannot reach school in time. You need not bring lunch the first day. The morning will be spent in op ening exercises, enrollment of pupils, arranging book-list, dis tributing Annual Enrollment Blanks, which pupils will take home for parents to fill out, sign and returns and such other work as each teacher may assign. That afternoon the pupils will secure their books, such as they may not have on hand and in Other ways get ready for text book work on Tuesday. Bring lunch Tuesday, Monday after noon the tochers will arrange their enrollment cards, Grade books. Registers, make out a schedule of recitations and in other ways get ready for text book on Tuesday. We ask the hearty cooperation of every one. A cordial invitation is extended to visit the school. We are in all probability going to be crowded and over run for room. The Board has under consideration the arranging two additional rooms which they hope in read ness at no distant day. In the mean time let us be patient and do the best we can if we meet with crowded and over-run ditions. *4 Mott and Jeff Are Not AHogetlKr Creatnires of finaguiatsra. Since Gus Hill undertook the production of Bud Fisher’s clever cartoon creation “Mutt and Jeff, ” his office has resembled the book ing office of a dime museum freak show. From far and wide, come freaks who think they are the natural embodiment of “Mutt and JefI” personified. Tail thin men with long noses, come fully convinced that they are absolute ly indespensible to Mr. Hill, be lieving that their physical fitness for the character is all that is required. Little short fellows with and without whiskers, bald heads and funny noses, come with the same assurance and de part with a self satisfied air, thinking that the play cannot possibly be a success unless they figure in it. con- ChajT^ed With Forgery. Mr. W. T, Ralph a former student at Bingham’s Academy Mebane was placed under arrest Tuesday night by Sheriff R, N. Cook charged with the fogery of an express Money Order. The express order signed by the agent at Mebane or rather with the name of the agent supposed to have been forged was presen ted to a Mr. King a merchant at JB^leigh in payment for a suit of clothes, the amoaut of the order was ^fty Dollars. The merch ant was present at the time of the arrest and indentified the boy as being the one to whom he sold the clothes. Friday at one o’clock was set as the time for preliminary hearing. Mr. Ralph declares his innocence. He was placed under a Five Hundred Dollar bond for his appearance at trial. The bond was given by Mr. G«o. Mebane, of Mebane. The young man is of good app earance and is connected with the best social circles at Mebane. His home is in eastern Carolina, and for tlie past two years he has been a student at Atlanta, Ga. studying the profession of dentistry. At one time he was stenographer for the Mebane Iron B^ Mfg., Co. He has many friends in the county who aro very much interested. Mrs. Lena Wright of Snow Camp, N.

C., Sept. 2.—At 3:00 o’clock this afternoon an in- teruban electric car coming into Mount Holly from Gastonia struck a wagon filled with a pic nic party from South Point on their way to Riverside park. Mount Holly for an outing, Kill ing two and injuring four others. None of those injured was serio usly hurt, and they are able to be taken to their homes. The kill ed are Miss Emma Sanford, aged 20. The horse and mule driven to the wagon were both killed. The picnic jjarty attempted to cross the track ahead of the car which was coming down grade when the car struck the wagon, hurling the occupants into the air, killing the two persons named and the team instantl.'-. A sisterand brother of the young woman killed were also in the serious mistake or an unthought- j y'^agon but were not &eriously ed blunder in this act. j injured. One day last week, an ill mated pair arrived from an obscure town in Indiana. They walked boldly into the office and their personal manager announced to Mr. Hill that they were “Mutt and Jeff,” the living breathing beings therr'selves. One glance was suificienn to warrant thfdt hi*- lief as lar as a^'pe'^rane^^f^ were concerned. The tall one veertain- ly was an exact counterpart of his highness “Mr. A. Mutt.” He looked like Fisher’s cartoon come to life. But, alas, the poor fellow was not only dea&; and dumb, but to use a common ver nacular, had “bats in his cupo la.” His only accomplishment extraordinary was an ability to bend his abnormal long nose in such a way as to get it between his teeth. The little fellow was also as near the real thing as thing as even Bud Fisher him self could draw him, bald head, whiskers and all. But also! once more; he had a hair lip and he stuttered, not counting the fact that wadded like a duck when he walked. His principal fun provoking accomplishment was an ability to fall down a flight of stairs without hurting him self. Both were very much dis couraged beca.use they did not secure the desired engagement. One has no idea of the difficulty encountered in securing men, both nhysically and tempera mentally fitted to the char,.cters of “Mutt^nd Jeff”. When they have been secured with all re quirements as to voice, enuncia tion, singing and dancing talent etc., they invariably develop a case of exaggerated ago which makes them absolutely impos sible. They become imbued with the idea that they are the entire show, Piedmont Opera House Sept. 20. Surprise Party.

Miss McAdams was not aware of thie plans of her friends, and had planned to be away from home that night, andhadit not been for the break ing of the news from her. sister the crowd would have been sur prised instead of Miss McAdams, After playing a numberof gam es those present were ushered to a delightful water melon feast which was even superior to the other amusements of the night; Those present were: Misses Mabel King, Vivian Klvett, Amy Wilburn, Una May Elder, Blan che Cates, Eunice and Mary White McAdams, Messrs.

The first dayis exercise conclud* ed with an able address by Prof,, Dudly D Carroll of Guilford Col lege whose subject “Washing ton” was handled in his ow® happy style.
