Ecitok "BMrad at ft Pottofflca u Mcond data vutftar 8MALLPOX IN NORTH CAROLINA Hie following from the Asheville C'itisen touches a matter of vital im portance and deserves special consid eration: Dr. R. H. Lewis, secretary of the state board of health, is quoted as aying that with the coming of cold weather a more general outbreak of smallpox than we have yet had may he expected in North Carolina. It is not an agreeable prophecy, but it is one that ought to cause our towns and cities and people generally to take prompt steps to protect them selves. This can be done only by vaccination now and by the prompt isolation of those who may develop the disease later. Last year there was an epidemic of smallpox in the city of Cleveland, O. The disease was allowed to run its course without special interference on the part of the health authorities from January to September, by which time 86 new cases a week were developed. Altogether there were 1.220 cases of the disease, and 224 new deaths from this cause. Then the alarmed health officers of the city appointed 10 physi- j elanH as vaccinators, and 105,000 per sons were vaccinated at the public ex pense. All workshops and schools were visited, and with vaccination, isolation and disinfection the epidemic was sud denly checked. The disease was nearly eradicated by the last of December, and the city has been practically rid of it since. This example is worthy of imitation by the health authorities of all North Carolina towns and cities. It will not only prevent the great loss that is always sustained by the business inter ests of a place in which an epidemic of smallpox breaks out, but it will save many lives. During the past four years there have been nearly 200 deaths from smallpox In North Carolina, to say nothing of the great number of persons that have been marked for life by the tearful scourge. In view of Dr. Lewis' warning, health authorities cannot be too careful in taking precautions to protect the city gainst approach of the disease from any quarter. FIGHTING DISEASE With DISEASE so By ANDREW WILSON, Author and Scientist ABUNDANT HARVESTS. A short while ago a cry came from the great west that the harvest was great but that the laborer j were few, .Immediately college athletes, and many other adventurous youth set out for the rich harvest fields. The wages offered were substantial, but the ser vice required was not adapted to the scientifically trained collegiate muscle. So it is said that while the Kansas maidens sang merrily in the harvest "field from morn till night, the imported laborers were considerably worsted by the regular day's labor. Now comes the report that the rice growers in southwest Louisiana have applied to the railroads to assist them In their present difficulty growing out of an insufficiency of labor. The rice rop la the largest and finest ever grown In Loulsana and 4ocal labor is wholly insufficient to harvest It. The farmers are counting on getting hands "from Ohio and Indiana and want the railroads to grant a rate that will al low labor to come there. The work is mil done by white labor and the pay is from 11.25 a day up, with board. The crop is slightly late. The railroads kave agreed to give an excursion from western points in September, whtnh u is hoped will supply the deficient labor. As long this kind of thing keeps up umj country need not have a case of delirium tremens every time Wall street gets a little shaky. Such ele ments of prosperity as above referred to are based on the god-given advan- tagea of soil, climate, rain and sun shine, and so are enduring In their nature. are receiving scientific news of a character well calcu lated to create intense interest in the minds of all who have the welfare of the race at heart. From Vienna comes news that Professor Be h ring has suc ceeded in rendering the cow IMMUNE TO THE ATTACK OF TUBERCULOSIS, and from the Jenner institute in London emanates the intelligence that Dr. A. McFadyean has produced an antitoxin calculated to be of (Treat service not only in curing, but in presenting, typhoid fever. These two diseases are, of course, responsible for a large amount of present day mortality. It is true the death rate from tuberculosis has been decreasing since public attention was directed to the ways and means whereby the distribution of the germs of tubercle can be arrested. Typhoid fever has also been considerably limited through our knowl edge of its propagation by polluted water and allied media. ACTING ON THIS KNOWLEDGE, WE DECREE THAT INFECTION OF WATER SHALL BE 8T0PPED, AND IF THIS SOURCE OF TROUBLE COULD BE EFFECTIVELY TACKLED WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE AILMENT TO A MISERABLE MINIMUM A8 COMPARED WITH THE PRESENT RATE OF ITS OCCURRENCE. Much has been done of late years""in science to attack disease with ITS OWN WEAPON'S. Aly readers may know what is meant by the "serum" treatment. It represents the attempt of science to hoist microbes with their own petard. A horse is inoculated with the microbes of diphtheria. The animal remains strong and well under this treatment. Then in blood drawn from it we find devel oped in course of time what we call the "antitoxin" of the disease. The germs multiplying in the serum or fluid of the blood have given rise to this new substance. When the latter is inoculated into a child suffering from diphtheria it cures the little patient. The anti toxin acta upon the microbes causing fell disorder, produces reaction FAMED AS SCULPTOR MACMONNIES, WHO IS TO DESIGN M'CLELLAN STATUE.

Frederick MacMonnles of New York. who has been selected as the sculptor f the statue of General George B. Mc Clellan. authorized by congress to be erected at Washington, Is one of the leading sculptors of the world, and his work is already represented at the na tional capital by a figure of Shake speare In the Congressional library and the two central bronze doors of that building. MacMonnles has been in the fore most rank of sculptors only since 1893, when his great fountain at the Chicago world's fair placed him upon a pedes tal. He is one of the few Americans in the child, with the result that the DISEASE IS CHECKED and recovery made possible. st n n Now, there follows upon this result another of much importance in respect of human health and protection from tuberculosis. seems that cows so treated develop in their milk some principle, or other which has the effect of RENDERING CHILDREN FED UPON IT INSUSCEPTIBLE TO TUBERCULAR ATTACK. If we can be assured on this point a great advance will have been made toward the prevention of the disease in early life, assuming, of course, that tuberculosis is capable of being caused in young children by the giving to them of milk from cows whose udders are affected. Whether the same result would follow in the case of adults is a master awaiting further investigation, but at least a great gain would accrue to the civilized world IF TUBERCULOSIS WERE MADE IMPOSSIBLE OF CONVEYANCE through the medium of a fluid so universally used as milk.

TIlfSE ARE THE REAL THINGS FOR WHICH COLLEGES EXIST. Athletics and fraternities and clubs and all the rest are of, value in proportion as they promote these things. Wherefore, in no spirit of pessimism, but with a strong conviction of its truth, I send forth thia appeal for more of TRUE EDUCATION in our colleges. THE SUCCESSFUL MINISTER By Rev. L A.

It was only last year that Mr. Mac Monnles returned to this country after having spent seventeen years abroad. He is a native of Brooklyn, born in 1863. His first opportunity came in 1880, when he was admitted to the studio of Augustus St. Gaudens of Mew York. The stimulating atmosphere of that greafartlsrs studio prepared him for his first visit to Paris in 1884. Aft er a short time there he went to Mu nich. where he studied painting, for Mr. MacMonnles is almost as famous wtth the brush as with the chisel. Re turning to Paris, he was soon recalled to New York by St Gaudens wio wished his assistance in the execution of several important works. After a year he returned to Paris and entered the Atelier Palgulere, School of Fine Arts, working a portion of the time in the private studio of Antonin Mercle. In the Atelier Falguiere he bore off for two years the highest prizes open to foreigners, ranking next to the Prix de Romer-the Prix d'Atelier. So original was his work that the great French sculptor advised him to strike out for himself.' . vv-;:v MacMonnles has also had a taste of disagreeable notoriety,?

' ' sculptor began work on that figure in 1S04 he had little thought that any thing about It could be called into ques tion on the score of morality, yet his "Bacchante" was rejected by Boston for that reason, though artists consider It one of his best works. Other of MacMonnles contributions to sculpture are his "Nathan Hale, City Hall park. New York; "Sir Harry Yane."
