THE BOWAN MEDICAL StfCBTT IN
SESSION. '
D. Heilig Btads a Valuable Paper on
Focd for Infants. A Case of Lock-
jaw Reported Cured, to Society.
Rowan County Medical Societ3'
. met in regular session yesterday
morning, and there was an un
usually large attendance. A num
ber of important and interesting
subjects were brought before the
members, and the discussions were
animated and of unusual interest.
Dr. Long presented the subject of
spinal anaesthesia, and exhibited
the instruments necessary for the
injection of the local anaesthetic.
Cocaine and Eucaine are both
used, some operators preferring
the one, and some the other. The
solution is injected into the sub
arachnoid space, and the puncture
is made between the fourth and
fifth lumbar vertebrae, below the
. termination of the spinal cord.
No surgical operation, Dr. Long
says, requires more careful prep
aration in order to insure thorough
asepsis and -antisepsis than this
new method of obtaining anaesthe
sia of the lower half of the body.
The members of the Society were
afterwards invited to witness an
exhibition of the X Rays, one of
the most interesting and valuable
of modern inventions. Dr. H. G.
Heilig read an able and exhaustive
paper on the subject of infant
feeding, which elicited a number
of very flattering expressions
from his fellow members; tnd a
copy of his c mtribution, for pub
lication, was requested. The work
- " of the society, one of the oldest in
State, is of great'ahd constantly
increasing interest to its members,
and of much, value to the general
. public Drs btokes and Crump

Sunday's Services
Wrhe' sBrvJces at all the churches
here were terjrely attended Sun
day. Special Easter services were
held at the Presbyterian, Episco
pal, Catholic and Lutheran
churches. At these four churches
the music was particulary fine and
large congregitions were in atten
dance. . Appropriate sermons
were preached at the Methodist
and Baptist churches. It was a
beautiful Easter and the weather,
"perhaps, induced many to avail
themselves of the opportunity to
attend Easter service.

There is a wid mark between

tnat the population or toe citv is
7,100 and the population of. Salis

of ascertaining the population, is
the most accural that could be tie
vised and that th j number of souls
within the incorr orate' limits will
not vary from the -figures given
by them, 100. j
This increase within the year
can be partially tccounted for by
the location of railroad oflices here

Now in Augusta, Georgia.
The doors of the Salisbury Gro
eery Conjpany were closed Satur
day evening and Mr. J. M. Peeler
was appointed .trustee. '
From this incident developed a
sensation which has been .the all
absorbing topic in Salisbury since
that time.
The Salisbury Grocery Compa
ny was composed of Mr. John M.
Brady, who came here from Rock
well several years ago, and Mr. J.
P. Mault, an old resident of Salis
bury. The company has been en
gaged in the grocery business for
the past two years and seemed to
prosper. Mr. Mault's integrity
was iinquestioned and Mr. Brady
was regarded by his friends (and
his friends were legion) as an ex
emplary young man. The begin
ning of the trouble dated f rom
Friday night when a young lady
of this city of heretofore unim
peachable character but at that
time in a delicate condition was
seen crouching behind the water
tank 8t the depot preparing to
board the first South bound train.
She first tried to get on the fast
rr ail and was told that it did .not

00 ndoct created ' nor6SdToi comJ
ment but for the sake of herself as
well as on account of 'the-fafiaily,.
than which there is none better,'
all publicity through the press was
suppressed. I .
Mr. Brady also had left Salis
bury and the names of the two
were connected. When Mr. Mault
learned of the simultaneous leav
ing of the parties he began an in
vestigation of his books and found
that the concern was hopelessly
involved. He accordingly request
ed that the business be wound up
and Mr. J. M. .Feeler was put in
charge as trustee.
the firm's condition,
I called on Mr. Peeler this morn
ing and asked him for a statement
of the company's condition. He
said: "So far as I haye been able
to ascertain the stock on hand is
not worth more than $500. This
I will try and dispose of at once.
The liabilities in Salisbury are
about $1,100 and no out-of-town
creditors have been heard from.
Of this amount $275 is cash bor
rowed by Mr. Brady from friends
If all the accounts on" the books
are collected they-will not amount
to more than $200.""
ODD FELXiOWS INVESTIGATE.
Mr. Brady was treasurer of the
local lodge of Odd Fellows and
when the details, of , his indebted
ness on all sides were brought to
light the finance committee began
an investigation of his books. The
investigation was completed yes
terday with the result that a big
shortage was. discovered betwen
his book of credits and the balance
in the-bank to the credit of the'
lodge. Telegraphic communica
tion was immediately secured
with Rock Hill, where he was
supposed to be, and it was phoned
back that he was married to sthe
young woman wholef t here Fri
day night, at 12 o'clock that night.
They purchased tickets for Au
gusta, Georgia, however, and had
left Rock Hill before the message
was received there. Mr. "Brady
stated while' in Hock Hill that he
proposed to return to Salisbury in
a fewdays. V
T MACBIENTS TAKEN.
As soen as the condition of Mr.
Brady's affairs Became known
yesterday his personal creditors
attached his individual property.
He owns a tract of land in Morgan
township and has, some personal
property here in furniture and
furnishings with which he had
fitted up his bachelor apartments.
He had borrowed various amounts,
from friends here, all of which
aggregated over $300, and
for which he had given his per
sonal notes without any surety.
All these gentlemen were warm
friends of Mr. Brady and had
implicit confidence both, in his
disposition and ability to meet
these notes when due.
HIS BROTHER HERE.
Mr. Brady is from an excellent
family and . his brother is post
master at Gold HilLHo was in
Salisbury this morning and'stated
that his family would have come to
his assistance at auy time' if he had
intimated to them that he was
financially taaarrassed. His
brother was very much distressed
over the affiir, as are, of course,
all the other members of the f am-
ily. "
MR MAULT'S POSITION.
Nothing but the keenest sympa
thy is felt for Mr. Mault, Mr.
Brady's partner in business. He
was, it seems, almost in total igno
rance of the condition of the firm's
financial position and the revela
tion was a severe shock to him.
' MR. BRADY MAY RETURN.
It is thought by Mr. Brady's
close friends that he will return to
Salisbury shortly and make resti
tution to theOddFellows as well as
his personal creditors'. The young
lady to whom he was married bad
balance of $112 in a Salisbury
bank and drew on this amount
while in Rock Hill, j .
The whole incident is painful in
the extreme, as both Mr, .Brady
and the young lady in question en
joyed the greatest esteem and con
fidence at the hands of all with
whom ;they associated.
