A TIMELY SUGGESTION
The sujrjrestion made at the Rotary
luncheon yesterday that the bankers
the county meet on Tuesday fr,r
i1 : purpose of detcrmininjr the feas
ibility, of offering to lend the state
money for the purpose of building
!...rd-jurfacp roads in Catawb.i coun
;y under the $:0,000.0OO bond pro
sisiutv of course came from persons
a ho knew what they were doing and
may be the answ.r to the question
of where the money is coming from
for this great internal development.
It frequently has been suggested that
the people of the state purchase th?ir
own bonds, but the matter has gain
ed little progress.
Prior to the war, the people of
North Carolina knew very little about
bond matters and they seldom in
vested thiir savings in these securi
ties. Northern people bought North
Carolina bends-
The war, however, made many
thousands of North Carolinians hold
. rs of bonds, and the habit formed
lour years ago might as well be con
tinued. Why not buy North Caro
lina bonds?
The purpose of the meeting of the
bankers on Tuesday, it should be
understood, is not to buy bonds,
vhtch have not yet been issued, but
fo determine whether sufficient fun is
ran bo obtained, within the county
io finance many miles of improved
i ighways, the state to be the borrow
er and repay when its bonds are sold.
It U a good idea and should got
results.
SERVES GOOD PURPOSES
It is only a few mor? days until
lean-up week will be on us again
and those of us who are busy with
gardens and l-awng will of curse lay
iside this work long enough to see
chat the back yards, closets and othor
places where trash and rubbish a
cumulate are thoroughly cleaned out
Two good purposes will bo servec:
by clean-up week, not to mention a
third. One is the promotion of health
and the other is reducing the risk of
Pire. This is not to mention the satis
."action even an indifferent hom
owner gets from the realization that
ho has his place in fine shape- Those
who have never taken seriously these
annual clean-ups mi,?ht try it th's
year, ami see h6w it feels.

TYPHOID CASES IN
. FEBRUARY FATAL
By the Associated Press.
London, March 23. The fighting
at Nankana, India, in which about
130 persons were killed, was re
stricted to rival factions of Sikhs, ac
cording to a report just made public
at the India office.
The rioters were described as old
Sikhs and reformers, the former of
whom included the managers of im
portant and richly endowed shrines.
That at Nankana is the wealthiest
of them, its annual income, derived
largely from landed estates, amount
ing to tens of thousands of pounds.
The Mahants, who are in charge of
such shrines, regard themselves as
life tenants of the estates and secure
in their possession as long as so they
discharge their religious duties.
The reformers opposed the view.
Thoy alleged that deplorable abuses
exist in connection with the shrines.
The revenues, they contend, belong
to the Sikh community and should be
administered under it3 control. Hut
to the reform party, says the report.
th.rp have attached themselves a
number of thieves as well as enemies
of the government.
The attacks on what is termed the
vested interests of the old Sikhs be
gan with the occupation of certain
shrinesv at the Golden Temple of Ar
mdstar. . The incumbents there gave
way. They submitted also to be
ing ousted from some minor shrines
at other places.
But at the end of Jr-nary a serious
light occurred at T...1.1 Taran in the
Armi&tar district. A band of re
formers which suddenly appeared
there succeeded in getting possession
of th? shrines only after lesing two
lives. Some 25 persons altogether
were injured.
The old Sikhs held a meeting at
Lahore the day before the attack at
Nankana which, it had been rumored
had been impending for some time.
Apparently the reformers numbered
about 200. Just how the fight began
is not known, says the report.
The Deputy Commissioner who
started his investigation the day that
the fight occurred, was told that the
Mahants had been victorious. The
right had taken place inside a small
shrine enclosure which wa3 command
ed by houses on all sides.
"The inquiry into the facts," con
cluded the report, "was hampered by
crowds of excited Sikhs from all parts
of the Punjab who accused the Mos
lem neighbors of the shrine of having
assisted the Mahants."
THE OUTLAW SOX
TO PLAY BASEBALL
' If the government takes the trouble
t, advise farmers on tha condition
of; crops and aid thern in every way
in producing the necessaries of life.
surely it is a function of government,
as the new secretary of agriculture
points out, to assist them in markot
ingtheir crops. The country must
never forget that agriculture Is the
basic industry and that the prosper
lty of the farmer is paramount to
nearly everything else. Mr. Wallace
should proceed along the lines he
has suggested.
BUILD TO THEM
With the assurance that in the
n:xt year or two hard-surface roads
are to be built in Catawba county,
our citizens should not hesitate to
vote bonds for the purpose of plac
ing every township within easy li.i
tance of the main roads. The only
way to do that is to build good sand
clay roads to them. The citizens of
Catawba county cannot afford to
throw away an opportunity for com
munity progress.
Judging by the weather yesterday
nucrnoon, it was surely time to put
beans in the ground.

Raleigh, April 8. The tweniy
eighth day f February last was the
number of deaths in North Carolina
for that month from typhoid fever.
according to an announcement by the
state board of health. Thu was an
inciease of twenty deaths over the
s"ame month of last year.
In this connection the health, au
thorities are oointing out the neces
sity of campaigns to reduce the num
ber of typhoid cases which may he
expected because of the unusually
earlv .spring. This early spring, the
VipnltVi authorities sav. means a long
er fly season and Alius i greater per
iod of danger this. year for tvphoid.
"The peak of typhoid incidence is
reached in August and ordinarily the
summer months, which are also the
fly months, are considered the ones
when typhcid is most dangerous. It
is trua that the disease is mo.st pre
valent during: these months, but at
the same time there is aVvays clan
ger, even in he midst of winter, of
becoming infected- The safe plan is
to b'-1 inoculated, to take the three
treatments which will render you
immune."
This is the -Word of advice that is
given to the thousands of Tar Heel?
who have not yet take advantage of
the free treatment offered by the
Rtnto wbifh will make them immune.
The state board has confirmed the
appointment of George F. Catlott a
assistant sanitary engineer, which
was announced from Mr. Ca'tletl's
