BOG CHOLERA RAGINU. Cholera is raging in certain sec tions of this county. In some in stances whole small herds have been practically wiped out. Immunity The Only Sure Remedy. The remedy known as the "single treatment" insures only partial im munity for not exceeding six weeks. The sinerle treatment, therefore, is only a temporary measure, is en tirely too costly, as it must be re peated every six weeks or even oft cner to render hogs safe from at tacks. The "double treatment" will ren der hogs immune for life, and no man need expect to own hogs with safety unless each hog has been given this treatment.'

His Ellerbe high school team is mak ing a strong record, as evidenced by its two recent victories over Fayetteville and Sanford. Fayetteville was defeated at Fayetteville last Friday 24-22, and Sanford bit the dust at San ford Tuesday 31-24 and these victories were won on their op ponent's own courts. This in it self makes the wins all the more pleasing. The University state-wide con tests are now in full swing. And Ellerbe, which is the only Rich mond county team to compete, has advanced two notches near er the finals by eliminating Fay etteville and Sanford. Good for our Ellerbe boys. Their splendid record is a matter of county-wide pride, and the Post-Dispatch is counting on them to continue their winning stride on to the final series at Chapel Hill.

Other Republicans Say It Did. Following Letter Speakt For Itself. Perhaps an Interesting Reply Next Issue. "Feb. 20, 1922. Mr. Isaac London Editor R'ham Post-Dispatch Rockingham, N. C. My Dear Mr. London : Referring to your editorial regarding the Rockingham Postoffice, and re ferring to a meeting of the Re publican Executive Committee in which you state that a leading Republican introduced a resolu tion to the effect that no candi date should receive any endorse ment, private or otherwise, from members of the committee until a call nieeting srTbuld be held and the various applicants have a chance to be heard. You fur ther stated that the resolution passed unanimously. The above is entirely in error. No such resolution has passed the Republican Executive Com mittee since I have been chair man, and every Republican office holder in Richmond County re ceived his endorsement out of committee meetings Mr. Walter Hogan, postmaster by me to get another endorse ment after the list of eligibles was supplied, and this was ob tained, as you say by scooting around in private. Referring to M. L. Tucker's conversation vtith me, will say that 1 told Tucker that 1 did not know whether I would be a can didate for permanent postmaster or not; that I had requested Mr. Morehead to appoint me acting Continued on page 6. 400,000 Out of 400,000,000.

When he went to China in 1895 there was not a mile of railroad, and only a handful of Christians. . Now there are 5000 miles of railroad, and 400,000 Christians. But this is pitiably small when it is remembered there are over 400,000,000 people in China ! Annual Meeting of Stockholders. . The regular annual meeting of the Stockholders of The Richmond County Savings Bank, Rockingham, N. C, will be held in their Banking Quarters, on WEDNESDAY, March 15th, 1922, at Eleven o'clock. W. L SCALES, Cashier. February 15th, 1922. The Richmond County Savings Bank ROCKINGHAM, N. C. mi "The Bask On the Sanare" Postoffice Examination. An examination for postmaster for Rockingham will be held March 14th, or rather all applica tion forms must be sent to the Department by that date. The vacancy was created by the resignation of Postmaster W. S. Thomas on Jan. 14th. The Republicans forced him to resign so that on of their own persua sion could be appointed. The examination is not held under Civil Service, nor is a list of questions testing the appli cant's knowledge, propounded. Instead the examination is held under an Executive order of July 27, 1921, which was made by President Harding in order to get Democrats out and Republi cans in. Those desiring to take the examination can secure ap plication form from the postoffice here; these must be filled in and filed before the 14th of March. The Postmaster General then submits to the President the name of one of the three highest eligibles, and the President makes the appointment. The candidates are rated as follows: 1. Education and training. .20 2. Business experience and fitness. 80 100 Incidently, the candidates must submit with their applications small, unmounted photographs taken within the past two years. Nothing is said as to what rating is given on looks. Various ques tions are asked in the blanks as to the business and other qualifi cations of the candidates; the candidate must be not under 25 years old, nor over 65. In the meantime the news from Washington is that W. F. Long, Jr., will likely be named as Acting Postmaster before March 1st. Ford Kicks Him. J. O. Ewing, of the Dockery Merc, and Mtg.

Bonds to Be Sold March 24th. School Board to Meet Next Monday Night to Hear Ideas as to Location of Building. Blue Prints Open for Suggestions. The voters of Rockingham de creed by their ballots Tuesday that their children should be given a better chance in the matter of a high school edu cation. The question of issuing $100,000 in bonds for building a high school building was up for their adoption or rejection and the measure carried with a splen did unanimity. A new registration was held, 329 voters having their names enrolled. Of this number 286 voted for the issue, and 6 against. 37 failed to vote, and therefore automatically are recorded as against the issue; some of these were out of town, others were, sick; and so it would not be fair to them to say all were oppos ed to the issue. H. L. Guthrie was registrar. Clyde Black and Mrs. Guthrie acted as poll-holders and so far as we have been able to learn, this is the first case in the State where a woman so officiated. The election was held upstairs in the courthouse. There was no active opposition, but the friends of the proposition gave ot their time and efforts in its be-' half. Tuesday night the Board of Trustees met and passed a resol ution, upon motion of Mrs. Nancy P. Leak, seconded by H. S. Led better, to the effect that an ad vertisement should be placed at once calling for bids for the sale of the $100,000 issue. The nec essary legal notice will therefore be placed in the Post-Dispatch next issue, to run four insertion. , the date of sale to be March 24th. The bonds will mature $2000 a year from 1924 to 1932; $3000 a year from 1933 to 1941; $5000 a year from 1942 to 1952, all in elusive. ' The Trustees also Tuesday night unanimously agreed that the matter of the location of the high school building be re-open- to ipri and considered de novo. Thev Continued on page 6.
