son for sheriff, and Horace M. Rob
inson, register of deeds was only one
behind at 1,148. R. E. Clements got
1,143 votes for recorder, and W. A.
Hunt polled 1,136 for the State House

ticket was Stanley Winborne, State
utilities commissioner, who got 1,067,
but Associate Justice M. V. Barnhill
of the Supreme Court got 1,065. Char
les A. Jones, opposing Senator Robert
R. Reynolds for the United States

the fourth district, got 1,064 to 164 for
his opponent, Willis G. Briggs, Repub

Children In Schools Well
Protected From Diseases,
Health Examinations Show
Children in the primary grades of
white schools of Henderson and Vance
county are well protected from diph
theria and smallpox, Dr. A. G. Gregg,
county health officer, said in a state
ment today announcing results of
visits and examinations made in Oc
tober. The inspections were made to
check on smallpox vaccinations and
to give the Schick test to determine
those susceptible to diphtheria.
Five city and five county schools
were included in the test, and 406
pupils were listed from the ten
schools. Only 26 were found who had
not been successfully vaccinated a
gainst smallpox. These 26 and a few
others who have moved in from other
counties and other. grades were vac
cinated.
Only 43 of the 406 reacted positive
ly to the Schick test, and all but three
of these were given the toxoid treat
ment at school. Assurance was given
that family physicians would treat
the others;
“So we feel,” said Dr. Gregg, “that
our school population is practically
immune to these two preventable dis
eases. If this work is kept up in the
schools we will soon have no fear of
■these diseases in Vance county. There
has been only one case of diphtheria
reported to' the health department
during 1938. We are hoping our phy
sicians will keep insisting that their
patients bring their babies to them
for toxoid at six or seven months of

This Advice Is Still Good
“When every farmer in the South shall
eat bread from his own fields and meat
from his own pastures and disturbed by
no creditors and enslaved by no debt,
shall sit amid his teeming gardens, and
orchards, and vineyards, and dairies, and
barnyards, pitching his crops in his own
wisdom and growing them in independ
ence, making cotton (and tobacco) his
clean surplus, and selling it in his own
time and in his chosen market, and not at
a master’s bidding, getting his pay in
cash and not in a receipted mortgage
that discharges his debt but does not re
store his freedom—tjien shall be break
ing the fullness bf our day.”
