Work of the Norm Carolina Medical
Society at Charlotte.
Charlotte, June 22. The commit
tee on elections sprung a surprise on
the North Carolina Medical Society
this morning and submitted its re
port. The society received the re
port and formally elected officers as
follows: President, A. A. Kent, of
Lenoir; first vice-president, Dr. J.
P. Munroe, of Charlotte; second
vice-president, Dr. W. P. Horton, of
North Wilkesboro; third vice-president,
Dr. J. F. Murphy, of Wil
mington. Essayist, Dr. R. N. Duffy, of New
Bern; orator, Dr. John H. Tucker",
of Charlotte; leader of debate, Dr.
M. E. Street, of Glendale.
The committees were named as
follows, the first named in each com
mittee being the chairman. Legis

mittee, Drs. R. IT. Lewis, of
Raleigh; G. G. Thomas, of Wilming
ton, and L. B. McBrayer, of Ashe

boro; M. Bolton, of Rich Square, and
F. M. Register, of Tillery.
The house of delegates decided by
an overwhelmingly majority to hold
the next annual convention at Hen
dersonville. The committee on elec
tions had selected Morehead City for
the next convention, and had named
a committee on arrangements from
that and other Eastern Carolina
cities. The society rejected More
head City and selected Jdenderson
ville, and it was then necessary to
change the personnel of the commit

Giner Moons Than Ours.
There are in all twenty-five moons
besides our queen of night, Mars
having two, Jupiter eight, Saturn
ten, Uranus four and Neptune one.
Of course, new lunar additions are
likely' to be discovered at any time,
although it is improbable that Mer
cury and Venus have any satellites
or that Mars has any more than two.
The two known moons of Mars are,
indeed, very minute, neither being
over fifty miles in diameter. On
the other hand, Jupiter's first four
satellites, as well as Ganymede, are
each larger than Queen Lunar,
Ganymede having a diameter of
about 3,500 miles. Titan, or Saturn,
possesses a diameter approximating
3,000 miles, while that of Neptune's
sole satellite is about 2,000 miles.
As respects our own moon, Queen
Luna has one-forty-ninth the size
and or.e-eighty-first the weight of
our earth. Luna's distance from us
varies a good deal, from 221,000
miles to 252,000 miles. Her mean
or average distance is about 238,000
miles. Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Violated Cattle Law.
The state department of agricul
ture has taken much interest in a
case tried in Warren county court
last week. W. A. Connell, of that
county, paid no attention to the cat
tle quarantine but moved cattle in
and out at will. He was indicted
and fined $201 and costs by Judge
Carter, of the superion court. In
stamping out the fever tick the de
partment of agriculture, aided by
the United States department is do
ing one of the most important things
it can do for the people of the state.
They should have the hearty co-operation
Of .all farmers, for the farmer
is directly benefited. The Warren
case is an object lesson for those who
will not obey the law. Wake county,

A WIDOW TWO DAYS.
Unseemly Baste Shown by a Georgia
Couple.
Swainsboro, Ga., June 24. Eman
uel county, Georgia, has residing in
its borders a couple whose lugubri
ous courtship is without a parallel
in the whole United States. This
couple is Mr. and Mrs. Robert S.
McDaniel. Mrs. McDaniel was the
wife of Mr. J. J. Sewell,' & promi
nent farmer in this county, three
days before she became Mrs. Mc
Daniel, and the circumstances sur
rounding her unusual marriage are
interesting. Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Sewell owned a nice little farm near
Swainsboro. Together they had
bought, and by thrift, economy and
hard labor, had paid the purchase
price of the farm. To them six chil
dren had been born and no happier
household could be found.
Mr. Sewell, however, fell ill and
his wife watched over him and nurs
ed him with the loving care that a
faithful wife usually bestows. On
Tuesday death removed her husband
and on Wednesday she followed his
remains to the burying ground, clad
in the deepest habiliments of woe,
and saw her husband's body laid "to
rest beside his first wife. She was
almost overcome with grief and
would not be comforted, until Mr.
McDaniel, a young man and a friend
of her dead husband and herself,
spoke a few words to her. This
seemed to soothe her and together
they left the cemetery.
The next day, Thursday, they ap
peared together in Swainsboro and
together visited the ordinary's office
where Judge John R. Youman issued
to Robert S. McDaniel and Alice
Sewell a marriage license, she giving
ber age as thirty-one and he putting
his down as twenty-six. A local
magistrate was then sought and
they were married.
It is said that when McDaniel ap
proached Mrs. Sewell she declared
that life was not worth living since
she had lost her protector. McDan
iel asked her to live for his sake and
pf orm'seu tuat hewouldlove and pro- '
tect her. To this she consented but j
interposed some slight objection to j
marrying so soon after her husband's ,
death. McDaniel was able to prove
to her satisfaction that her husband
was as dead as he would ever be, as
he expressed it, and the -marriage
resulted.
McDaniel is said to have moved
here from somewhere near Joplin,
Missouri.
Ten Things ta do la Typhoid Fever.
1. In all cases of typhoid, how
ever mild, the patient should remain
in bed. The course of the disease
may be greatly shortened by keep
ing the patient in a prostrate posi
tion. 2. The vessels used in the sick
room should be thoroughly scalded
after use.
3. All food utensils should be
washed and scalded separately be
fore placing with dishes used by the
family.
4. Bed linens, towels, wearing
apparel, should be plunged into boil
ing water or water containing a
strong solution of carbolic acid be
fore they are washed.
5. Chloride of lime, which can be
bought by dozen cans, or bichloride
of mercury, are safe disinfectants
for vessels used in the sick room.
6. The caretaker should cleanse
her hands with a disinfectant (car
bolic acid, creolin, bichloride of mer
cury), before taking food.
7. Treat all excreta from patient
with disinfectant of sufficient
strength that all typhoid germs may
be killed before removing from the
sick room.
8. Bury all excreta from typhoid
patient.
9. Keep all flies from the sick
room.
10. Write to your State Board of
Health for literature upon the care
and treatment of typhoid fever.

MUST BE CHANGED.
How A Business Map Would Run The
Government.
Now, what could and would a busi
ness man with power to conduct the
government do? He would put the
army and navy on a.l efficient and
economical footing; he would allow
only such appropriat ions for rivers
and harbors as are necessary under
some systematic p!an; the public
building grab would have to cease;
all manner of expenditures for the
mere gratification oi the people and
for the purpose of re-electing men
to congress would no longer be tol
erated. He would take the post office out
of politics, make it a business institu
tion, utilize the organization to carry
the mails at a profit and make the
institution not only ' self-sustaining
but a money making branch of the
government. Government officials
would not be allowed to spend their
vacations traveling at home and
abroad at the public expense. "Jun
kets" of federal and congressional
officers would be stopped. Useless
commissions, courts, boards and
other devices creating places for
shelved statesmen would be abolish
ed. Neither sentimental nor politi
cal consideration would have a place
in a government if a business man
conducted it.
Such a business man is a dream,
but business methods dealing with
the problem need not be. We can
not place our fiscal affairs in the
hands of one man with absolute
power, but we could apply business
methods to the government. Instead
of trying to economize by spending
a few hundred thousand dollars en
deavoring to find where a few clerks
and messengers can be spared, ef
forts should be directed at the real
extravagance found in the appropri
ation bill. Thus the imaginary busi
ness man must be the people- them
selves. Public sentiment must be
changed. Arthur WalIaceDunn, in
World's Word.

A great deal of annoysnce and
disease could be prevented by a gen
eral reading cf Farmers' Bulletin
450, just issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. In it
Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the Bu
reau of Entomology, makes a brief
and lucid summary of what is known
about mosquitoes and malaria. How
effective modern methods are shown
by the fact that in Italy the malaria
rate has been reduced from 65 or 70
per cent to only 4. Along the Ital
ian railroads the thorough screening
of all habitations and wearing of
veils and gloves when out of doors
after sundown led to a reduction to
14 per cent, but there it held. It
was by the systematic use of quinine
that the further reduction in the
per centage to 4 was affected. Qui
nine is distributed free to all labor
ers and to the poor in malarious lo
calities. It is prepared with char
coal and other confectionery, which
even children are easily induced to
take. Dr. Howard notes the com
forting fact that whereas in most
parts of the world where anti-mosquito
measures have been under
taken on a large scale the work has
been "done with the direct end of
doing away with mosquito-borne
disease, in the United States the
work is almost always done simply
to rid the community from a great
nuisance. There are, however,
many malarial regions, including
the lands of the Delta region of the
Mississippi the richest in the whole
world which cannot be properly
utilized as long as mosquitoes are
allowed to have their own way.

SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM.
Deadly Indian Weed That is Cheap and
can Easily be Smuggled.
The Indian weed is being largely
imported into Indo-China at the
present moment, says our informant,
who holds a high position in the mil
itary world. He has given us a sprig
or two of the hemp plant, which ob
viously lends itself to the use of the
smugglers. With first hand knowl
edge of this subject he declared this
weed more pernicious than opium
or alcohol, will in the near future
take the place of opium in the far
East.
It is of small bulk this deadly
weed, is cheap in comparison with
its elder brother, opium, and can be
smuggled easily. The ppium con
viction does not, so far as we know,
take account of the danger which
threatens from the importation of
this drug.
The French authorities in Indo
China absolutely prohibit the hemp
plant, but nevertheless, it is being
taken into the country in ever in
creasing quantities. It can be used
as a drink, can be smoked or chewed;
the physical and mental effects are
deadly.
We have not been able to ascer
tain as yefwhether this noxious drug
has made its appearance in Hong
Kong, but we take this opportunity
of calling the attention of the au
thorities to the danger of its doing
so. It is a danger that should exer
cise the thoughts cf he legislative
council.
This noxious weed is smoked much
by the lowest class - of natives in
South Africa, where it is known
under the name of dahgha and
causes many crimes, the Bushmen
and Hottentots running amuck when
eaturated with its hellish effects.

Crcp Outlook Good.
The farming class is the largest
and the most important class of
business men in the world, and we
rejoice with them in the splendid
crop outlook. Some forms ' of in
dustrial prosperity may hang upon
the decisions of a stern bench of
judges, but the farmer neither fears
the judicial form nor courts the ju
dicial smile. The Sherman law has
no terrors for him when he gazes
over the golden harvest fields and
the luxuriant corn and cotton fields.
The size of his harvest does not de
pend upon the interpretation of
the obscure wording of musty
statutes. The corn may grow as tall
as it pleases without any danger
that it will be prosecuted for re
straint of trade.
In this connection the June crop
report of the department of agri
culture contains matter for general
rejoicing, for it foreshadows the
greatest wheat crop this country has
ever seen, a splendid corn crop and
a bountiful harvest generally.
Bumper crops, besides furnishing
assurance that the country is in no
danger of famine, help in the main
tenance of confidence, and, there
fore, are a direct factor in the busi
ness situation, irrespective of the
range of prices in the wheat pit.

Boys in The Printing Office.
If boys must work and earn wages
there are few places better than the
printing office. Some of the great
est men the world has produced ob
tained the best part of their educa
tion while boys in printing offices.
But the printing office is no place
for the boy without brains or ambi
tion, nor for a dolt, who simply de
sires to go there because the work
is light, or seems light. It is an ex
cellent place for an observing, think
ing and studiously inclined boy.
There are many printing offices
where men will not be bothered with
boys and will not give advice or in
struction to apprentices or to young
workers, whose competition they
fear. In some respects a boy is in
luck who has to go to a reformatory,
especially a boy who wants to learn
the printing trade, as in most of the
state reformatories for boys there
are printing offices where the boys
are taught the printing business.

KING GEORGE V AND QUEEN MARY.
They Were Crowned Today Amid Im
posing If remocles.
London, June 23. King George V.
and Queen Mary were crowned to
day in Westminister Abbey. The
crown was placed on the king's head
by the archbishop of Canterbury.
They drove through the streets . to
Abbey, cheered by hundreds of thous
ands of spectators. Drizzling rain
and showers marred the day some
what. The ceremony was passed off ac
cording to schedule. Modern Lon
don has never known such a day of
excitement, all business was suspen
ded. The procession from Bucking
ham Palace was picturesque. The
King and Queen were escorted by
Royal Life Guards, Lord Roberts,
Lord Kitchener and hundreds of
peers and nobilitv.
Hon. John Hays Hammond, the
United States representative, occu
pied a prominent position in the pro
cession. When the king and queen
arrived at the Abbey they were met
at the west door by the great officers
of state and escorted to the nave,
where the oath was taken. Charles
P. Taft and J. P. Morgan occupied
seats with the diplomatic corps.
Waste of Bad Roads.
Dr. J. H. Ellington, of Sandy
Ridge, was in Danbury Monday, and
dropped in to see the Reporter. He
is among those of the county who"
favor better roads, and told the Re
porter that he was willing to be
taxed to get them. Dr. Ellington
said he recently had the pleasure of
driving over some of Guilford coun
ty's excellent macadam roads and
that he enjoyed it very much. As
an instance of the disadvantage of
our bad roads he cited a case near
his home where on account of the
dreadful roads a man who owned
only a one-horse team had to hire his
crop of tobacco hauled to market
with two horses, which cost him
nine dollars. Dr. Ellington stated
that the extra cost this man was put
to on account 01 bad rouJs would
have paid his road tax for many
yeors to come.
Another citizen from the same
section stated that he recently hired
a team to go to market, twelve miles
away, paying $2.50 per day for the
toam. It required twodaysto make
the trip of only 21 miles, making
the team cost him $5.00, and he did
well to puil 1,200 pounds through
the mud. With good roadi the trip
would have cost him only $2.50 and
one day of his time, and he would
have hauled 2,400 pounds. That is
paying bad roads tax at a high rate.
