Hickory, Special. The Republican
convention of the ninth district, at
tended by about J0i whit men and "no
negroes at all," convened here this af
ternoon, and named Mr. Geo. B. Hiss,
of Charlotte, for Congress, by a rising
vote.
At 2 o'clock Mr. W. T. Jordan, of
Gaston, provisional chairman, called
the meeting to order and introduced
Mr. A. A. Whitener, a young lawyer of
Hickory, who delivered the address of
welcome. The speaker aaid he was glad
it was not now a crime for a man to
change his politics, for if it were there
would not be sufficient Democratic
sheriffs in the State to "attend tha
hangings made necessary by the mem
bers of that party who had recently
changed to tho Republicans. The reply
was made by Mr. Chas. F. McKesson,
of Burke, who 6aid it was something
new under the sun to see such an intel
ligent body of Republicans meet ia a
Democratic stronghold like Hickory.
The credentials committee was then

part of the delegates as to just what
was the next thing In order. The com

TYPdOlD WIDELY SCATTERED
Valuable Information Given By tbe
Board of Health.
(From Advance Sheets of the August
Bulletin of the State -Board of
Healtlu)
Typhoid ferer is present in seventy
re of the ninety counties reporting
for July. It Is therefore widely preva
lent in our State. It is a communicable
disease, spreading from one case to
another, though generally in a rounda
bout faah.on. Its extension can be pre
vented by the careful observance of
certain simple rules. For the informa
tion of the people we give these rules,
preceded by a statement of the reasons
upon which they are based. If read and
he'eded by even' a few some lives would
be saved and much sickness would be
prevented. Read them and tll about
them.
'The active agency in the causation
of typhoid fever is a bacterium', the
ba-illus typhosus, which attacks and
causes the ulceration of certain glands
in the small intestine, developing
therein by myriads. They are there
fore to be found chiefly In the bowel
discharges, although present also in
the excretion of the kidneys and to
some extent in the expectoration' of a
person sick with the disease;. From one
' tLesc sources, nearly aiways tbe
first named, the bacteria are transfer
red to the latest inal tract of a healthy
person. The poison is always swallow.-.
?, The most common agencies of
transfer are the drinking water, in
cluding milk infected from washing
cars in polluted water, and the cVfcii
Koa house fly, although it may be con
veyed directly to the' nurse br, her own
toiled handsana 'Soinctimes in dust.
The most important rules therefore for
the. prevention of the extension of tho
disease may be briefly stated as fol
lows: '
1. Cover immediately upon their pas
sage tlie body discharges to prevent
access of flies.
2. As soon as possible thoroughly
disinfect the discharges by mixing in
equal quantity with thern one of
the following: (a)' freshly made milk
of ikne or "whitewash" (unslaked
lime); (b)'a five per -cent solution of
carbolic acid; (c) a 1 to 1,000 solution
of corrosive sublimate; (d) a 1 per
cent, solution of formaldehyde. After
standing a half-hour (covered all the
time) the mixture should be buried
(never thrown on the surface, of the
ground) at a distance from the well qf
not less than 150 feet. ' '
-3-.-Provide- in the sick-room a wooden
tub one-third full of either of the three
last named solutions, and drop therein
as soon as removed everything In the
Way' of body or bed-clothing, handker
chiefs, towels, etc., that have come In
