-obey? Durham's blind tigers are
a sample of what has been going
on is prohibition territory. They

many towns of the state if officers
ure aaofon the lookou for trans-'
gressors of the law.
Statesville was osce in nearly
as bad shape as Durham is, with
the exception of so many killing
which we did not have."
But by -the efforts of the offi
ce of the city there Is now prac
tically not a drop of whiskey sold
in the city. -
After this new prohibition law
has. taiien effect the mayor and
other officers of the city say they
are determined that the blockade
and" blind tiger business shall be
w;atchedirmore .closely than ever,
and, all violators f this law shall
be dealt with to tthe full limit of
the. law. a
If the Durham officers would
make an effort as the Statesville
officers do, they might check to a
a degree the lawlessness there.

Movement on Foot in Durham Coun-(
to to Establish Anti-Tuberculosis
Institution in Durham. ,
V Durham, Dec. 31.--The city health
officer, Dr. T. A. Mann., has prepared
his annual report to be submitted
at the next regular meeting of the al
dermen. This report shows the num
ber of deaths and births for the year,
the death rate, the average ages,
causes and other things of tht char
acter. The health officer has not
made public ail his report. The re
port will show, however, that there
were 493 births in Durham last year,
arid that there ere 411 deaths, the
r--
births being eighty-two more than
the deaths. There will be another
hard fight made to establish a tuber
culosis dispensary in Durham, this to
be maintained jointly by the city and
the county. The city has already
said that it was willing to pay $6Q0
per year, but the county commission!
ers were not certain as to the right
to vote out this money. The matter
will be takenupand presented again.
Dr. Mann says that'tuberculosis is no
worse here than elsewhere, but that
in his opinion all toVns, cities and
counties should get together and try
to stamp out the disease. He wants
Durham to do ! her part anyway.
For that reason, the interest here.
Next week there will be a state meet
ing of the antituberculosis r associa
tion of North Carolina to be held in
Charlotte. There will be present a
large, number of fighters of consump
tion who reside in this state. It will
be the first state meeting.

York County Farmers Vho Know
How to Make a Living.
I -
Yorkville (S. C.) Enquirer.
The Enquirer knows of one York
township farmer, who, eleven years
ago bought a run down farm of over
200 acres on credit j and since that
time has paid fdr the place, built a
handsome residence, large barn;: and
stables, tenant houses, etc., bought
nearly i enough I additional land to
make a total of 300 acres, and the
first of JTanuary didn't owe a dollar
and had $1,000 cash in bank. He
did it all by hard work, sticking to
business, raising his home ' supplies
and making cotton a surplus crop. A
year ago hef refused $50 an acre for
his plantation. That is going some.
We know of another who bought 110
acres of Bethel township land in 1901
at about, $15 an acre, who made five'
and a half bales of cotton the first!
year; who made several bales of cot
ton and 700 1 bushels, of corn, this
year, who has long since paid for his
land and whoTebehtly refused $35 aid
acre for it. .'.

Volcano in , Vest Virginia?
Richmond, Jan. 1. Anxiety is felt
by1 the inhabitants of Greenbank, a
small town just accross the border in
West Virginia, over the steadily in
creasing appearence of a burning
crater, of seeming volcanic nature, on
the side of a neighboring mountain.
Flames are distinctly visible at times
accompanied by rumbling noiseses as
from internal distrubances. The air
in the vicinty is gathering sulphur
fumes.
