ROANOKE RAPIDS DEFEATS NORUNA The local team defeated Nor linain a one-sided game last Saturday. At first appearance, judging from the husky bunch of healthy boys from up the road, it looked as if our boys were in for a good drubbing. However our boys outplayed and out hit their opponents and at the close of the game the score was 10 to 0 in our favor. For some reason our team is not keeping official records of the games this season and we are unable to publish the summary. WOODLAND IS ROSEMARY The Rosemary team went to Woodland last Saturday, and suffered their worst defeat of the season. We have not learn ed any details of the game, only the score and that's a plenty. We do not believe it likely that our community can put two winning teams in the field but are strong in our belief that we can put out one, selecting of course the best players from Patterson Mills, Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids. Why not do this. F. M. S. Halifax County Bulletin Issued Halifax County: Economic and Social, is the title of a bulletin that has just gone to the job of fice of the Seaman Printery, Durham.

PROSECUTED FOR FAILIRF TO REPORT BIRTHS As a result of investigation and prosecution by the State Board of Health Dr. J. E. Brooks of Blowing Rock has boon con victed in five cases for failure to report births as required by the state vital statistics law. In the first case a fine of fivo dollars was imposed, and in the four suc ceeding cases a fine of ten in each instance was Imposed, making a total of forty-five dol lars in addition to the court costs The law requires the prompt reporting of both births and deaths. The attention of Dr. Brooks was called to the fact that he had failed to file the necessary birth certificates in these puses but no response was received by the state vital statistics registrar. The Prosecution followed. Dr. Brooks is one of the m ist prominent physicians in the State, a man who has played a leading part in the State Medical Society, He was forme rly superintendent of the the State sanatorium for thetreatment of tuberculosis, and has recently, with the endorse ment of the State health officer, been appointed whole time health, officer for Chatham county, the latest county in the state to,i inaugurate a whole thr iyiajth. denartmont. Commenting on this and other recent prosecutions instigated by the State Board of Health Dr. W. S. Rankin, State Health offi cer said: "The laws with regard to the accurate keeping of vital statis tics and the prompt reporting of contagious diseases are funda mental in health work. Their enforcement is a duty imposed upon the State Board of Health, and the board intends to continue its policy of niaKing prosecutions when other methods of securing compliance with the law fails. In thU the board i-i no respecter of pt rsons. While there is no personal feeling attached to any ot the cases wmcnaretrougntm - to court bv this department, at the same time more gi'fd is ac complished through the coiivic- tiuti of some prominent cituen j who ;j a leader of hi-j community I or h Aoa of the state than in the case of a more humble dt fondant. The whole purpose of the proEecutkT brought by th.sSr A w Sled han department is to give warning and tnareby deter others from violations of the law. It is far this reason that publicity is given to convictions secured." R. P.. W ilson. ' im,:ovic X-Rzy Photciaphy. A plus-; fur X-riiy iliotn.rn -liy ha I been Iiivi-mIih!
