THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY READS IT THE UNION COUNTY PAPER EVERYBODY READS IT The Monroe mnj&nk PUBLISHED TUi AYS AND FRIDAYS VOL. 22. No. 56. MONROE, N. C FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1916. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. w 1 a COMMENDS DR. STEWART ARTICLES ON HEALTH TOPICS VEKY KINK Should Be a Oireat Help to Journal Header IV n "t Say a orel A'. the Weather 4 orrectlng An K-.w (By O. P. Timlst.) Wingate. Thursday, August 10 Five hundred and eighty-five subjects received the anti-typhoid treatment at the school building here Monday Pretty good showing for our town and community. The doctor in charge complimented Union county highly by saying that It was the banner county of the State, if not of the United Slates, in the fight against this dreadful scourge. This reflects favorably upon the wis dom an intelligence of our citizen shin. We should feci proud of It. Hush! Don't say a word about the weather. There may be a dry "spell or there may not. Just be calm and keep silent and let the weather man , have the management or the weather. Mr. Burt Austin, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Austin, has gone to Baden to engage with the Alluminuni Com pany for a while on the big plant over there, and to see what he can see, Mrs. C. J. Black was the victim of a right painful but not serious acci dent Wednesday, caused by an iron ing board falling on Mrs.Black's foot. Dr. Jerome gave the necessary treat ment and thinks that no serious re sults will follow. Miss Annie James, our "hello girl." has gone home to spend a few days with her parents near Unionvllie. Miss EUro Williams is filling Miss James' place at the board at present Mr. Editor, I think that Dr. H. D Stewart deserves the sincere thanks of the readers of The Journal and perhaps others for the valuable ser vice which he is rendering in his short treatise each week on the different diseases, their causes, prevention and cure. To those who put the pro" estimate upon good, sound, robust, health and are seeking means to ob tain and preserve the same (and cer tainly that includes everybody) these short desertations should prove of inestimable value. There is nothing on earth that should engage more of our time, means, study and effort than good health and its conserva tion. It will prove worth while then. to study carefully and as far as pos sible put Into daily practice the knowledge and kind, gratuitous help which the doctor Is offering each week through (lie columns of The Monroe Journal." Remember, there is no wealth that can compare with superb heatth. How easy to get sick when we ignore the laws of health and life, or willfully and Knowingly refuse to nut into practice "" knowl edge of the causes of disease and their prevention, and vice versa. A correction: In our last letter the writer was made to say, Misses Mary and Waller Jones had returned" etc. It should have read Misses Mary and Mattle Jones. Who ever heard of a Miss Walter Jones? The spectacle man ought to come along right away. This correction is made in the interest of the young ladles In question. Doubtless they are be coming tired of having their names mixed up and handled so awKwaruij. Our friends will, however, excuse us, remembering that we are all liable to make mistakes. The condition of Mr. Perry Stewart remains unchanged apparently 13 the last news from his bedside. His friends are hoperul however, and trust that Mr. Stewart has passed the critical point in his case. One of the most delightful oc casions that we have experienced in many a day was that of Wednesday morning when Prof. M. B. Dry and Mr. It. L. McWhirter motored over to The Oak and dropped In for a few minutes to extend sympathy and extend kindly greetings. The pro fessor has a warm place in our heart and will always receive a hearty wel come under our humble roof. Wish such occasions might occur more frequently. Prof. Dry had been on a business errand in the interest of the State high school at Cary and stopped off to spend a day or so with bis father-in-law, Mr. W. M. Perry, Bnd in the meantime to visit the old home of his parents over near Kocky River and to attend the old home church at Hopewell, w hich proved to be a jnost delightful trip as It had been some twenty years since he had been a visitor in that community. Professor Dry left Thursday morning for his home at Cary. The three weeks 'old Infant of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Grllfln or Bellfield continues quite sick in so much ( all hopes of life Is despaired of. No sickness to speak of In our town, only a few minor cases within our territory makes up our health report for this Issue. Mr. "Itufe" Williams had the mis fortune to lose a horse of more or less value (less, I guess) Wednesday night. Mighty poor time for an old horse to die when the whole face of the earth Is covered with such rich, succulent grass and the summer's plowing all done. Mr. W. D. Blvens is doing some fine work on our roads and streets with his motor road scrape. A letter from his parents Herbert Sulivan Wednesday, broug (he news that his brother. Robert, whose condition has been mentioned already, Is still desperately sick. Miss Nell Heafern and Mrs. Justus Austin were Joint hostesses, at the home of the latter, Friday evening from eight to ten in honor of Miss Lillian Culp or Charlotte. Cut flow ers were used throughout the house. The color scheme in dining room was yellow and green. A two course luncheon was served by Mrs. Alfred McWhirter and Miss Kate Hunney cutt. Those present were: Misses Ethel Snyder. Pauline and Bess Bo- gan, Bessie Madison, Mary Sherrin Annie Jones, Mary Gaddy, Neomia Ilinson, Blanche Moore, Desdie Har Rett, Cornelia Hamilton of Mt. Holly Marguerite Jerome, Lillian Culp Gladys and Nell Heafner, and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred McWhirter. and Messrs. Spurgeon Black, Brooks Jerome. Zeb Jones, Clayton Meigs, Bert Austin. Carl Bivens, John Bivens, Winfred Baucom, Gales, Eugene Stewart, and Bruce Snyder. Miss Ellie Bivens and Bessie Mc- Intyre spent the week-end in Peach land among friends. Mrs. Zeb Secrest and little daugh ters. Eloise and Janie Bivens. have been visiting relatives in Wingate. Mrs. Justus Austin and little daughter, Margaret, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting her husband at Bethune, S. C. WARD TWt) IS 11 APPY t'ifixen Feels That a Mass Meetinst Should Vole Thanks to Alderman Sikes For Moving to (Jet Some Street Work Done. As a citizen of ward two I feel like we should call a mass meeting and have a grand rally and shake hands with Alderman Sikes. While he Is not a citizen of nor an alderman from this ward he has introduced a resolution to have some work done on our side. I see this by the report of the meeting of the aldermen Mon day night in The Journal. This is the first time anything of the kind has been mentioned In four years so far as we have heard, except foi nueli little matters as cutting oft some grass and clearing out an occasional ditch. We think that out of the forty- five or forty-six thousand dollars yearly income of our city, we should get some work on our sidewalks from the court house out a block or two, especially when you can go out for a mile in any other direction and find cement walks and curbing. Of course we understand that the work on streets and sidewalks can't all be done at one time, but we think our time has come at last and hope we will get the best job as the best is always said to come last. We thank Mr. Sikes tor remembering us so soon alter becoming an alderman and we hope the work in ward two will be pushed forward at once as sug gested by him. A Citizen ot Ward Two.

EXAMPLE DF DESTITUTION MCDOWELl ONLY ONE OF THE COUNTIES, NEEDS fjooo MONTHLY Committee (iives IMaileO Itecom inend.il ions to ;overnor of the .Needs .Same Things Duplicated in Many Counties. McDowell county, only one of the many mountain counties in ruins from the floods, needs $2000 monthly and the committee shows how and where it is needed in their report to Gov. Craig. This committee is composed of the following persons: J. W. Pless, lawyer; L. D. Thompson, minister; George I. White, bank cashier; J. H. Tate, merchant; B. B. Brice. merchant; J. Q. Kilkey, sale's manager; I. C. Griftin, superintend ent of schools. The report of the comniitte goes into full details. It is perhaps typi cal of all the counties which suffered most. In order to show Journal readers just what the nature of the relief work Is, we give a part of this report, as follows: Bridge. 1. Thirty-eight bridges entirely destroyed and the remaining one badly damaged. Roads. 2. Fifty per cent of all public and county roads destroyed by the high waters and land slides. Crops. 3. Seventy-five per cent of all the grain produced in this county is grown along the streams, and DO per cent of all the present crops along the streams were completely destroy ed. Soil. 4. Seventy-five per cent of all lands along streams have been per manently damaged, and a large per cent completely destroyed. Present Condition of I lie Population. 1. The relief committee has given immediate relief to 121 families at an average expenditure of 12 per family, (and the commute has defi nite and reliable information that 80 more families are destitute and in Leed of Immediate relief.) . There are, in addition to the COO in immediate need, at leust 30o families that will be in need in the immediate future. 3. The most urgent need at pres ent is the opening up of roads that have been utterly destroyed. We submit two reasons for this state ment: (a) Maxny families are complete-' ly shut oft from the markets and have to pack their provisions over the rough mountain trails; futhermorv, many farmers have teams that might be used to help support the family, but it is impossible in hundreds oi cases to get these teams away from homo; on the other hand feed for them must be packed In by the owu- tr. (b) The Immediate rebuilding or these roads would .ve employment to many ot these citizens. At pres ent many of these citizens are em ployed by the railway companies, but this work will not continue longer than thirty days hence. These peo pie will then be cut off from their usual winter work, such as hauling acid wood, tanbark, crossties, etc., unless the roads are upened up. What We Need Now. 1. Two thousand dollars to sup plement the present earnings of the 200 destitute families, and this amount must be duplicated monthly unless conditions change. 2. Seeds, such as rape, turnip, cabbage, millet, rye, etc., enough to supply GOO families. 3. Roads repaired In order to reach the destitute families with pro visions and that destitute farmers may use their teams. 4. Employment for all heads ot the destitute families until the roads are opened up and conditions ap proach the normal. . Vyhere Help .May He Sent. The Charlotte Observer publishes the following article, which is very servieable at this time. To the Editor of The Observer: ' Can you advise me where to rend cloililng for the Hood sufferers? I have some things to send and want to send them where they are most needed. Thanking you in advance for your kindness. Mrs. Ben T. Kay. Troy, N. C. The Observer makes this request public and gives public answer that t may the better serve o uselul pur pose. Boxes or clothing may be sent to Gen. Julian S. Carr. at .Marion, for the needy in Burke and McDowell counties; to Mr. Richard N. Hackett at North Wilkesboro, for distribution in Wilkes county and surrounding territory, or to the mayor of Lenoir for the sufferers along the Johns River, In Caldwell and Watauga counties. In each case the boxes should be marked so that it will be made plain that they are for the suf ferers by the floods and the railroads will give free transportation. The Observer has been informed that the articles most desirable are bed clothi ng and mattresses, and attire suit able for winter wear by juen, women, boys and girls. The Charlotte mer chants have made liberal donations of suits of clothing, while the house holders have contributed for the bed rrfwns and to the necessities of the women and children. These sufferers by the mountain floods are people who lived In comfort, yet out of the wildness of a single night there were thousands who could say with truth hr.t "In my house there is neither bread nor clothing," and hundreds who could not even claim a house. Willing hands are diligently working to overcome the demoralization end restore conditions to something like a normal basis. The men are to be given employment, but the first care is to fortify the families that have suffered deprivation against the com ing winter, ine time for that is none too long, for, in the mountains, the chilling blasts are even now on the way. Every town in the exempt ed portions of North Carolina might send a box of articles that have been enumerated as most suitable to the needs of the people in the Hood dis trict and not a box would go amiss. If the Observer's suggestions as to shipping directions might be consid ered too limited, it could be broad ened so as to include the mayor of any town in districts involved as re ceiving and distributing agent. Monroe has given $23.50 to the flood relief fund. Marshville .has sent two or three times as much. Albemarle has sent 1227.50. Small towus of the state are sending hun dreds, the larger towns thousands. The committee appointed by Gov. Craig have received nearly 4uouo. ITALIANS ARE NOW i()IX(J Captured liiiHiitant Point and Have Their Biggest Success Other Al lies (iain. London Dispatch, August 9. The vigorous offensive of the En tente Allies on the French, Galician and Italian fronts Is still being re warded with important successes. In Austria the Italians have captured the city of Gorrizia, 22 miles north west of Trlest; in Galicia the Rus sians in quest of Lemberg have fur ther carried out their endeavors to ward the capture of Stanislau from the Austro-Germans while in France the French and British forces in the Somme region have attacked and won additional points of vantage from the Germans. The capture of Gnrizla seemingly Is as important a gain by the Entente Allies as has yet been attained in their present synchronous offenivse, the city being the door through which the Italians may now pass on an en deavor to carry out their long cherished idea of capturing Trlest, Austria's big sea port at the head of the Adriatic sea.

MONRCS DOESN'T SHOW DP BEHIND THE REMAINDER OF COUNTY IN HEALTH INTEREST That Is Tliojr Way it Appear to Dr. Carstarplien Small Attendance at Meeting IjiM Night Why Do IVople Not Want to Learn More? Reported for The Journal. Dr. T. V. Carstarphon. professor of Physiology in Wake Forest Col lege, who is engaged in the cam paign against typhoid fever in this county, made a splendid talk at the court house last night. It is a re grettable fact that his audience was so small, only about thirty-five being present when the house should have been full. The speaker said he had already addressed two audiences, one numbering 600 and the other 700. besides vaccinating 1100 or more. The people of the county Fecm more appreciative and more of "a mind to learn" (ban the people of the town. This is hard to under stand. Time after time able rpeafce;-? have been here with a niesage to tf people a message that they have spent years in preparing and one to which they have given the best pat' of their lives, a message that would actually save the lives of our citi zens, and they were greeted with very meager audiences. The news papers carry notices of the lecture, the telephone is used, announcement is made at boarding house?, hand bills are sent out and then there Is only a small audience. Monroe peo ple are getting FREE what cities have to pay for. To eite a recent instance when the aluminum dem onstrations were held In Monroe the ladies were not only Invited but URGED to attend. It was free it was a chance to LEARN something. Not more than two or three dozen took advantage of It. Now they are having the same demonstrations In a nearby town and CHARGING ad mission. Whet is the matter with the peo ple? Do they know enough already? Do they not care to learn anything more? It Is to be hoped that they will wake up to these opportunities and take advantage of them. Dr. Carslarphen was introduced last night hy Mr. W. S. Blakeney, 1 who made a few remarks, short but to tlie point, apologizing for the small audi-nee. but assuring the speaker the duality was there if the quantity was lacking. Owing to the small audience the sperker did not give his lecture, but as he alL made a few rambling re - marks, his subject being Malaria. He explained clearly how the Anopheles mosquitoe carried the malarial para site into the blood, destroying the red corpuscles. He told of the acute stage where the patient has a chill. followed hv fever, which Is repeated every third day. He takes quinine until the chills stop and then he quits taking the medicine while i should be kept up for six or eight weeks. He said a great many P; pie had chronic malaria but did not know It. It effects whole body. causing indigestion. Kidney and liver troubles and other dislases. The remedy and the only remedy is quin ine. Dr. Carstarphen himself takes three grains twice daily and is pro tected at nlcht with a mosquito bar. He said, "I am afraid of malaria, therefor I take these precautions. I also give the quinine to my three children, beginning in June and keep ing it up until nil dancer is passed." The breeding places of the mosquito came In for their share of condemna tion. In a short walk about town the doctor found two public troughs con taining water which had stood so long that on close examination were found to contain thousands of these malaria bearing mosquitoes. The tin cans, empty bottles, In fact anything that will hold water four or five days will breed the pests, and should be donf away with. Dr. Carstarphen said Union was one of the best counties In the State, the people being above the average in many ways. "Rut I must say," he continued, "that Mon roe does not compare favorably with the county. As to the mularliil sit uation, you can get rid of that If you want to. Clean up the breeding pla ces, and take quinine. Have running .-aur in the troughs, not standing water, cut down the weeds, pour oil on water that can't be removed, clean ! up and keep cleaned up." CotomI Teacher' Institute. Written for The Journal. On Monday, Aucust 7th. at the colored graded school building in Monroe Prof. J. W. Praisley, prin-1 cipnl of Oak stree graded school of v irsten-Salem. opened the colored! teachers' Institute for Union county, i A goodly number of teachers were present.

On Tuesday Superintendent Nlshet graced the school room with his presence with a helpful address. Th roll or teachers Is now 65 wi.ii one com mitteeman. The institute Is surely doing a good work.

GERMANY NOT DISTl KIJI D Berlin CorresH indent Says That There Are No Signs of Distress Nor Fear. Mr. Karl H. Von Weigand. an American and a trained newspaper man, is the New York World's cor respondent In Berlin. From that city on August 2. he sent the follow ing dispatch to the World: With the pressure gauge of her foes on every front registering the highest point reached in two years of war, Germany is calm and quiet, her mind unshaken. There are no indi cations that disquieting new 3 has been received, or of wavering confi dence. Despatches give the inipre?-ioij in America that correspondents see a military crisis and a natio.i ou the verge of collapse miliniily asd economically.

IjOihIoii'k due Pencil. If In dispassionate and frankly written statements of news every phase or sentence construciable as favorable to Germany is deleted in London, as the recent experiences of American ccrrespondems indi cate, it Is conceivable that one sided impressions are easily created under such conditions. No correspondent here has writ ten more frankly about Germany and what she is confronting than I have. It is only fair that the truth favorable to Germany also should get to the American people. How do the German people feel under the universal pressure?, ask queries reaching here. The German people, so far as I am able to ascer tain or judge from my observation, are heartily weary of war, but none the lens grimly determined to stick it out. The spirit of a hundred years ago prevails generally, and has so far continued strong. So far as the spirit of the people is concerned, it is the history of the Seven Years' and Thirty Years Wars over again. The course of the military crisis and collapse, which is alleged to be observable from without, is not ap parent from within Germany. Nether is there any Immediate cause on servable.
