4Y- 7 1 . 1 ffss- O I- r r ii, ESTABLISHED 1874 NEAR EAST CAMPAIGN OMINUNCOLNCOUNTY Lincoln County's campaign for Near East Relief will be held from January 21 st tfi February 28th, it has just been announced by George W. Smyre, County Chairman. Lincoln County's - quota is $840, which will feed, clothe and educate the fourteen little children who are motherless and fatherless, and assign ed to this county for support. So ef ficient is the work of the Near East Relief over seas, that each child ca, be taken care of and given an educa tion on $60 a year $5 a month 17c a day. ' ."V; Mr. Smyre will have the active co operation and assistance of a number of leading men and women of Lincoln County in this great work. His plans will be announced at an early date. . Jn making this announcement, Mr. . Smyre pointed out -that Although the need has been doubled in the stricken Bible lands as a result of the recent massacre at Smyrna, the county's minimum quota. has not been increas ed over last year. More than 800,000 refugees were driven into Thrace and suddenly thrown on the hands of the Near East Relief as a result of the horrible massacre of 150,000 Chris- , tians In Smyrna. Other hundreds of thousands are now leaving Anatolia to escape a similar fate. ' ' The regular quota of Lincoln Coun ty will take cure of its fourteen child ren, which is paramount, Ao the feed ing of the refugees. All funds receiv ed over and above the regular quota v;jll be used to feed these Smyrna and Anatolia refugees, thousands of whom have already starved to death. The fathers of many of these child ren, who are now in the; North Caro lina orphanages at Trebfoond, a port on the black Sea, far removed from the danger of ft- Turkish raid, were killed in the Great War, defending thei oil fields of Baku. - The failure of the fUii-niana to get this precious oil gup ply caused their sudden collapse, in the opinion f military, .experts. Nor fch "Carolina really owes a debt of gratir tude to the fathers of these children, Chairman Smyre states. ' North Carolina is raislngOO.OOO this year Jo take care of the 3,3341 children assigned to it. Josephus Daniels of Raleigh is Honorary State Chairman and George W. Smyeof Lincoln ton, is County Chairman in charge of this work. . UNDERGROUND STILL 1N VICINITY OF HICKORY Jr Hickory, Jan." 22.

Fate Mitchem, who lives about four, miles, .southowest of Hick ory, greeted Deputy Sheriff P. P. Jonef when the latter called on him the other day. . JWhatche doing with all this money, Fate?" the officer Inquired. Fate allowed as he had sold a few hawgs and things. '..'-... . Mr. Jonei thought' he 'smelted a'rat in the atmosphere' and began a search for it. .it TheniilJing Matchcm aided heartily in -the -search as the officer poked his head here and there, tapped on the flooring or removed a rug. The horn was equipped with water and plumbing, as Was stated. , ; . The officer saw the jar of money on a shelf and bent low over the fireplace. He lifted a pot and Fate was gone when he looked up. ''Where you going, Fate?" asked the officer. "Be back d'rectly." replied Fate, in creasing the 50 yards to 75 as he spoke. 'V.,' ' Persuaded to return, Mjtchein saw the officer proceed with his ihyestiga tion.

OUR FARIIS EQUIPPED "j FOR COTTON GROWING Farmers Want to ContinueRaiaing Fleecy Staple and Weevil Must be Checked. , Raleigh, Jan. 22. 'North Carolina 'farms are composed largely of those specially designed and equipped- for cotton production and for '"this and other reasons the farmers desire to continue growing the fleecy staple under the latest methods of combat ing the boll weevil, according to C. B. Williams dean of the North Carolina State College, tonight in his third ar ticle ""on plans for cotton farming in this state in 1923. "The production of specialized crops requires for success special -technical knowledge and . skill, which comes from years of practical experience and the vast majority of North Caro lina farmers are not fitted by training and experience to go into specialized types, of farming except in a limited way. There can hardly be any doubt, however, that as experience is gained with -special crops 'like; trucking or other specalfacd lines more of our farmers wit! go into this , type of farming and these specialized lines of agriculture will gradually increase in importance in the state. . "Through long years of experience our farmers have learned how to grow cotton as it is evidenced by the rela tively high yield per acre North Caro lina farmers are securing as compared with the cotton belt as a whole. Its production requires neither need of special high priced Implements and machinery, nor specialized training, and experience for success as do the speefalized types of agriculture' With the proper handling of the boll weevil tli0 growing of cotton is not nearly so expensive and hazardous as many specialized' types of. agriculture. With tor,-too; is a Wnperishable crop, and X safebler with proper care any i day. throughout the year. :'"'',' '' "There "are some rflsons why North CardtinnU outheijf4p(iera . gftjji ; eralfy persist In the growth of cottcin. To continue its prof itahle' .production in j the. future,-our fartnersrwW be' forced in the most parts of the state, on account of the' boll weevil, to ob serve certain precautions other than poisoning the pest, such as early and proper preparation of the land, plants ing the .crop early, Use of suitable varitics, proper fertilization, frequent and through cultivation. "These methods are designed (a) reduce the number of boll weevils that live through tho winter and (b) to stimulate the cotton crop to i set a large number of bolls by the first of August or earlier, before the weevils have had an opportunity to multiply in sufficient "numbers to become de structive." DR. PEACOCK WANTS TO KNOW CHARGES AGAINST HIM IN N. CAROLINA Lakeland, Fla., Jan 22. Attorneys for Dr. J,' W.

The most common fom of tuberculo sis is a disease of the lungs (called also consumption.) There is lots of it around. People catch it very easily and often die of it, but if taken in time, it can be cured. Vr Those who are sick with it give it to healthy persons. How Do You Know When You Have Tuberculoma? ou cough and become somewhat feverish toward night. You lose ap petite and fell weak. '' You grow thin arid take to coughing And spitting and sometimes spit up blood. ; Tuberculo sis of the Intestines is shown parti cularly by fever and diarrhoea. What is the Cause of Tuberculosis? j Tuberculosis is caused by a tiny Jiv-1 ing thing which scientists call a germ, sometimes so Very, very small that to see it you must use an Instrument called a microscope, Does Tuberculosis attack another part of the body as well as the lungs? Yes indeed, you can have it in the bones, or in the joinU, o in the glands of the neck, or in the intestines or in the throat.. ( ' How you get Tuberculosis, You get tuberculosos when I the microbes step in and find they can live in your j lungs. " M ' .' .-. Can the germ live outside the hu man body? Why yes -when ever a sick person spits on he floor, or the carpet or on his clothes, and whenever he coughs or sneezes without putting his handkerchief, in front of his mouth, he scatters1 about him millions of these little germs. .They can liv, for a number of months,-especially in damp or dark places, though they ar killed quickly by 'sunlight and fres , air. '' ," ':.:. .; How do Microbes get itto the body ? These little germs; are very light nd bo can bo carried-.m 4ho dust oi' whfehthe- eftfoy atwa; or less full. People.; who have tuberculosis Spread .the.germSi, every Where by coughing and,, sneezing, Then, with tho next breath you take, in walks Mister Germ. You may also swallow the little follew by drinking the un boiled milk of cows that happen to have tuberculosis. What sort of people1 are likely to catch disease? Almost anybody may have it, but it most often attacks those who live in large cities or who are already weakened by other diseas es,' Children are especially likely to get it. Those who live an irregular life,': who drink. alcoholic, drinks; or those who dtfn't get enough to eat or are overworked as well asVthose who live in quarters that lack air and light or where too many people are crowd ed together ' are especially liable to the disease. In cases like these a per son loses his strength and cannot fight tuberculosis. What favors the development of Tuberculosis? Colds and even the slight chills that you don't take care of. Not that these cause tuberculosis, but they help the germs to develop in the lungs.' ' What are some conditions of life that aggrevate the disease ? vverworK, or living in a uusiy, onu- ly ventilated rooms or' over crowded , ones. When a careless consumptive -spits on the ground, the spit dries and . the germs, being so light, remain in the air with the dust. . These you in hale, and you are apt to beconie a consumptive, if you are not extra strong. ' '. Is"it healthy to live in rooms TaVely occupied by a'consumptive? No, it Is very risky to'live'in Such rooms until they , have been cleaned and disinfected. GIVE ENGLAND LONG TIME TO PAY DEBT, SAYS POU Washington, Jan. 16.
