A Warning. The three extracts given be low were all taken from an issue of a North Carolina newspaper about fires in the State. They tell their ovn story, . and no comment should be necessary : (1) "With the : barn, fine driving horse, three buggies and a lot of feed was burned (loss $1,500.00). The fire is said to haye been started by children playing with matches in the barn." ' ' (2) "This was the second fire in the downtown district in the last three days, and the blaze had taken on a spectacular as pect when the firemen arrived. It is thought that the fire start ed from a cigar or cigarette stub or match carelessly thrown through the ventilator opening on the sidewalk. A number of packing boxes, and a quantity of excelsior andLother materials were just under the opening." , (3) "Died early this morning as a result of burns received Wednesday when -bis clothes ig nited from a match with which he and another child were play-" ing on the street in front of the lad's borne. The child was thouught to be not seriously burned, but - he grew - 'worse Thursday. The funeral was held this afternoon."' . . Why will our peopfe , longer tolerate the ''criminal" match and unclean premises? They mean not only a destruction of property, but also a loss ot life. We are up against a condition, not a theory. Call upon ' your city authorities to act, and at once. JAMES R. -YOUNG. Insurance Commissioner. liuwr to Bankrupt , e Doctor.

A disposition to make the method of vaccination against tvphoid an excuse for mantain ing insanitary conditions is not one that should be encouraged. This seems, however, to be the tendency of a recent newspaper editorial on typhoid immun ization, in which it is declared that the method will "be a boon in towns where water-purification plants cannot be built be cause ot the expense." Ic can hardly be believed that this point of view will find many supporters. It is too much like blowing out the gas because there is a good chance of recov ery if the pulmotor is brought in time. Taking trouble and es pecially spending money for a good water-supply may seem to some minds more difficult than having some one injoct a dose of dead bacilli, thus permitting the intelligent but impecunious cit izen to drink sewage-laden water with impunity. We can hardly believe, however, says The Journal of the American Med ical Association, that this meth od of .Reasoning will become general. ' Death of Rev. Beall. B. L. Rev. Benjamin L. Beall died last Friday morning at his home in Greensboro, having reached the age of 86 years. Mr. Beall was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian church at the age of 20, and had therefore been in the ministry for 66 years. He was born in Georgia and was a graduate of the University at Oglethorpe, and later from Princeton University. . He was well known in Lenoir and Caldwell county, having as sisted in the organization of Lenoir Presbyterian church in 1852 and served as pastor of the church from 1880 to 1883. He was a cousin ol Mr. J. H. Beall, of Lenoir. Lenoir Topic. Rev. Mr. Beall is remembered by many of the older citizens of this section, he having sgrved the Presbyterian church, as pastor, some thirty or more years ago. It has long been the impres sion that our rural districts are healthful, and that our people in the county live longer than the people, in our cities. Many other people, familiar with both" country and city life claim that the number of deaths from such preventable diseases as typhoid fever and consumption is far higher in the country than in the city. The truth is . that no one really knows the health con ditions of any county, section or part of onr State. Why? simply because we have no adequate vital statistics law in this State, and therefore no one has any real basis for an opinion, it the present Legislature passes the Vital Statistics Bill now before it, we willoon linow our health conditions, and when a commun ity k mows that it is more v un healthy than a neighboring community it will set about to reduce its death rate in earnest. This bas been the experience elsewhere, and itwill be the ex perience here. : ' ; - The bluest fool is the one It is so often said that we ap preciate most the things we work the hardest for. The ap preciation of their husbands by by some wives must be some thing beautiful to behold measured by this standard. Man never escapes punish ment for disobeying the laws of nature. The man who makes , money betting against his own success r es certainly doesn't earn it. The increased cost of living doesn't seem to make any dif ference with the bed bug. If overeating dulls the brain, the cost of living" is conducive to overdevelopment of the brain. A pessimist is a person who believes divorce to be the hap piest part of married lite. The foot that rocks the cradle isn't the same one that is kick ing for woman's rights. EXTREMELY LOW Round Trip Rates To Washing ton, D.
