The vic tim was th r.firrw who refused to l vaccinated. A recent issue of the Clinton Ifmoorat tells the story. "A striking evidence of the effeetualness of typhoid vacci natum is furnished by the death of a negro at Saiemhurg this week. When Saiemhurg w as or ganized as a model community this negro alone of the entire population failed to be vaccinated for typhoid and he is dead of the disease, and the only person to die of typhoid in the county this -- -k - 'j i'v,,i of Saiemhurg believe in the etli ciency of vacciriution, for Inx'tor Holiingsworth vaccinated 210 there Monday and quit only lie cause he ran out ot the vaccine, or v hatever they call it. Sampson, by the way, can boast of being anions the more favored counties with respect to the thoroughness of the campaign against thej disease, for there are only four cases in the county, and ; loctor Holiingsworth is constant" y pressing the battle against the pestilence." The ht alts work in Saiemhurg was inaugurated on Marcs 31, l'.U t by lr. G. M. Cooper now director of te liureau of Medical Inspection of Schools of the State Hoard of Health, lie was then serving as the whole time health officer for Sampson county. Dur ing tha year the work against ty phoid fever was especially intens ive and very gratifying results were achieved. Heaths from ty phoi for the year totaled just five in the county, and the number of cases was .small. Anti-typhoid vaccination gives immunization against the disease for three years certainly, perhaps for as long as five years. Know ing the good results tfiat follow the treatment the people of Sal emburg are now again taking the protect ion offered. L. A. DANIEL BREAKS ARM. Mr. L. A. Daniel, of Fowell town, sustained a complete frac ture of both bones of his arm on last Tuesday morning, while at tempting to crank his truck. The accident occured in Weldon and the arm was set by Dr. S. B. Tierce, Had it not been for Mr. Daniel's presence of mind in catching and holding the flying crank, it is very probable that his arm would have been broken in several places. As Mr. Daniel has only one arm, this accident puts him completely "hors de combat" for the next few w eeks.

Nedder before County Food Commissioner R. C.

Mr. Nedder admitted that he had sold sugar in excess of the amounts specified by law, but stated that at the time he made the sales he did not know he was violating the law. Since he knew the sugar regulations, he has adhered to them strictly, and the case against him was dismissed on the above arrange ment.

U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION. The sugar shortage is likely to continue for the next two or three months or longer, but any actual sugar famine will be pre vented through the supervision of the sugar distribution. The degree of discomfort and inconvenience that is suffered on account of the shortage of sugar will depend very largely upon the degree of co-operation which the Food Administration receives from individual consum ers. The success of the sugar distribution program rests upon the honor and co-operation of the people. The shortage of sugar at home is not going to be allow ed to affect the American sold iers in France. Those boys are going to have their full normal consumption of sugar. Lemonade and limeades are ta boo on account of the quantity of sugar they require, but who wants lemonade when he can get buttermilk? The American families who saved 120, 001), (KK) to 130,000, 000 bushels of wheat out of their normal consumption during the last twelve months are not going shortage and those who did not!Confen j" Rit'h,mt:nd- Ya- save wheat do not deserve any j sugar at all. Mr. Herbert Hoover's assur ances to the English, French and Italian peoples were in the na ture of a direct message and re- sponse from every patriotic American family. The patriotic American consumers have liter - allv and absolutely saved the day for our Allies in so far as stuffs are concerned. food- IROANOKF PAPIDS PERSONAL 1 XAb LOCAL ITEMS Mr, and Mrs. J. R.

Our slHiihteruMe anliuali at the be flnnlnti of Hie last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year ha fore and particularly in hog: they were prohahly less. The lucrease III shipments Is due to conservation and th extra weight of animals added by our fit rmers. The full effect of these efforts beKin tit bear their best results In the Inst liHlf of the fiscal year, when the ex ports r the Allies were 2, 1H3,1 00,000 pound, at against 1.2tM'.roo,Ooo pountla In the Mine period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801.000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half year In the three-year pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products re duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipment to Allied destinations hava been : Fiscal year 1910-17., iiiMt.OOO.ooo bushel Fiscal year 1U17-18..340,SOO,000 bushel Increase 80,0OO,(XK) bushela Of these cereal our ahipinenta of the prime breadstuff In the liscul year J017-1S to Allied destinations were: V best lUl.OOO.OOo bushels and of rya 1:1.000,000 bushels, a total of 144,io0,.

In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 101" wheat are now In port for Allied destinations or en rout thereto, The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheal will be therefore, about 141.000,. (l bushels, or a total of 154,INM),O00 bushels of prime breudsnilTs. In ad dition to this we have shipped some 10,000.000 bushels lo neutrals depend ent upon us, and we hnve received some Imports from other quarters. "This accomplishment of our people In this matter stands out even mora clearly If we hour In mind that we had available In the liscul year 11110-17 from net carry-over uud as surpltta over our normal consumption about "00,000.000 bushels of wheat which wo were able to eNport that year w ithout trenching on our home loaf," Mr. Hoover said. "Tills last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and Imimrt only Just about our normal consump tion. Therefore our wheat shipment to Allied destinations represent ap proximately savings from our own wheat bread. "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. iNs splte the magnificent effort of our agrl cultural population In planting a much Increased ncrenge In 1017, not only wa there n very large fitiluoe In wheat, tut also the corn failed to mature prop- i erty, and our corn k our dominant crop. I "I am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote in concluding his report, "that all tho j millions oi our people, agricultural a well as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that In a year of universal food shortages In the north ern hemisphere nil of Close people Joined together against Germany have come through Into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship. "it Is difficult to distinguish between various sections of our people the homes, public eating places, food trades, urban or agricultural popula tions bn assessing credit for these re sults, but no one will deny the doro nant part of the American women."
