BLOWN UP AND SUNK Vessel Was at Anchor When Disaster Occurred All Men on Board With Exception of Three Lose Their Lives. London, July 13. The British battleship Vanguard blew up and sank on July 9, says an official state ment issued tonight by the British admiralty. An internal explosion while the ship was at anchor caused the disaster to the Vanguard. Only three men of those on board survived and one of them has since died. Twenty-four officers and 71 men, however, were not on board at the time of the explosion. The official statement reads: "H. M. S. Vanguard, Captain James D. Dick, blew up while at anchor on the night of July 9 as the result of an internal explosion. "The ship sank immediately and thpr wpre onlv three survivors among those aboard at the time of the disaster one officer and two men. The officer has since died. There were, however, 24 officers and 71 men not on board at the time, thus bringing the total number of survivors to 97. Scintific Appliance Which Seems de- tined to Remove the Sewerage Problem of Rural Sections, School Districts an Small Towns. A highly improved septic tank, sold in Salisbury by Mr. Claude Frederick, built on approved, princi ples and designed to meet the needs of rural communities and small towns is the Septic Tank outfit of the Stand ard Cement Construction Company, of Wilmington. By the use of this med ern and approved method the sanita tion of any community may be made satisfactory and the direct benefits will be large to the individual and to the community. Here are some of the things a septic sanitary system will do for you: FIRST. It does away with the deadly cess pool which all Health Boards will tell you breeds disease and death. SECOND. It provides you a clean sanitary method of disposing of all raw sewerage without odors. THIRD. It solves the fly and mos cmito problem. FOURTH. It forever prevents your water supply from becoming contom inated, and the dread typhoid fever danger is removed. FIFTH. Our Septic Tank Privy is the ideal method where there is no water power. It is the most perfect adaption of "A full inquiry has been ordered..''

The Observer received yesterday afternoon, too late for publication, the following Associated Press dispatch: "Washington, July 12. The War Department has announced that Char lotte would be the site for the Na tional Guard camp, instead of Fay etteville." The people of Fayetteville are good losers. A National Guard training camp was awarded this city through the recommendation to the War De partment of General Leonard Wood, in command of the Southeasten De partment. General Wood sent Col. n. J. Hunt, to Fayetteville, to look over the sites offered by the city. Colonel Hunt "reported favorably." Later General Wood sent Colonel Hunt and Colonel Ladue t4 make a final survey. These officials "reported favorably." On the strength of these two reports General Wood recommended to Sec retary Baker that a camp be located here, and, on the strength of General Wood's recommendation Secretary Baker ordered that a camp be located here. .erms which we might term the po The police germs thrive i . i 1 .-. o i v. o n (1 wnere tnere is an ausentc ui n u light and so multiply very rapdily.

A special fea ture at a meeting ot tne opencer board of aldermen Friday night was the reading of a report of an auditing committee composed of H. P. Brandis and R. J. Goode who were employed some weeks ago to audit the books of the town. The report was complete covering every department and all accounts of the municipality includ ing the books of the mayor and re corder, the town treasurer, the super intendent of water works and tax collector. The auditing board report ed every item in excellent shape, the books balanced and commended the town officials on the showing made the past year. It was stated that a precedent had been established in that this was the first time the books of the mayor and recorder of Spen cer have ever been audited or exam ined. Alderman J. E. Connell, who is also town clerk, tendered his resignation as a member of the Spencer School Board. This was accepted with re grets and Mr. S. F. Harris was elect ed to fill the vacancy expiring May 26, 1919. C. W. Crowell, a member of the Spencer Fire Department, appeared before the board asking for 300 feet of new hose with which to fight fire when needed. The matter was left open for the present. The department now has 1100 feet of hose with the privilege of calling into service sev eral thousand feet from the South ern shops if emergency arises. Among the larger bills ordered paid was one to the North Carolina Public Service Co. for $500 on light account. This company pays to the town $107 per year taxes. The matter of improving sidewalk on Spencer avenue was placed in the hands of the street committee and a bridge on 8th street was reportea still in a bad condition. Citizens on Rowan avenue asked for relief from bad drainage and heavv washes in time of rains but the aldermen decided that no changes can be made at present as to divert ing the flow of surface water. Alderman R. H. Kluttz, chairman of the water committee, reported that in June the town used 1,023,175 gal lons of water from the artesian wells and from the Salisbury supply 418,- 725 gallons, making a total of about one and a half million gallons of wa ter used here per month. It was found that it cost just 23 cents a thousand gallons to pump the water from the deep wells in Spencer. The matter of securing water from the Salisbury plant when the new reser voir is completed was discussed and it was stated that the natural pres sure from this source will put the water within two feet of the top of the Spencer tank. The Sanitary committee was in structed to investigate a special type of sanitary closets in use at Kannap olis and report to the board. The aldermen let it be known that they are going to dispence with unsanitary closets in Spencer just as soon as possible. There are but few in town as most citizens have connected with the sewer.

FRANKLIN OWNSHP Bit a Number of Other Dogs and At tacked Young Son of Mr. Turner Watkins Boy Goes to Raleigh Dog Killed and Head Sent to State , Capital for Examination. There was quite a little excitement ', created in Franklin township in the section about Mr. Henry A. Monroe's Friday afternoon when a strange dog, having every appearance and show-, ing signs of hydrophobia, made a raid throughout that section. Where, the dog, which was a medium sized ' one, came from or to whom it be longed is not known. It attacked and , bit a small dog belonging to Mr. Mon- j roe, also one belonging to Mr. John Huffman and also bit several other dogs in the neighborhood. Adam Wat'.uns a voung son of Mr. and Mrs. Turner Watkins, was in the field pick-, ing blackberries when the dog at tacked the boy, who is about twelve years old, biting him in the back, or it is supposed the boy was bitten as there is a bad skin break on his back, he being attacked from the rear by the dog. The mother succeeded in beating the dog off with a basket. Men in the neighborhood took up a hunt for the dog and it was finally ki'led, the head severed and sent w Raleigh for examination. Youn? Watkins was today taken to Raleigh to have the Pasteur treat ment applied, his father not desiring to take any chances and await a re port from the examination of the doe's head. Several of the dogs bitten by the supposed mad dog have been killed. Mr. Monroe reports that his dog would not eat after having been bit ten by the strange dog.
