Motorist Smashes Hydrant in

Some time before daybreak Fri
day an unknown motorist crashed
into the hydrant on the comer of
Bennett street and Pennsylvania
avenue in Southern Pines and de
parted, leaving a spouting four-
inch main to wreck havoc with the
Bennett street sidewalk which was
completely washed out for a dis
tance of 200 feet, the clay and
sand spreading in a semi fluid
mass over adjacent gardens. It
took the entire street and water
force of the town all day to set a
new hydrant and repair the dam
age to the street.
. ounty Agent Cites Experiences
of Growers in Several Parts
of County
By E. H. Garrison, Jr.
County Agent
'Several farmers have demonstrated
ne fact this year that good vetch can
) grown in the Sandhill section of
;,oore county. For some time it was
nerally believed that good legumes
aid only be grown on the heavier
v'jes of soil. The fact that not
^aigh attention was paid to the in-
ulation of the crop was largely re-
non?ible for failure heretofore. The
;, st and surest method is to take some
rt from land on which vetch has
ten grown successfully -and drill it
on the piece of land where the new
op i? being put in. This method
ulom fails.
Pierce Womack of Cameron and
Sheriff Kelly of Carthage have sever-
r,l acres, of vetch and barley which
will be cut for hay, or it can be used

well worth going to see. Walter Mc-

Optimistic Notes
The Bismark Hosiery Mill of Car
thage, under the management of W.
H. Currie, has proven quite success
ful despite the continuation of gen
eral howling over the lingering de
pression.
The mill now has about seventy-
five employees, working on day and
night shifts, and drawing a fairly
large wage. For the past few weeks
the mill has made its most remark
able progress since December. It is
gratifying to see a local industry
growing and progressing these days.
Only Right Kind of
is applied. I do not have and rec
ords to show where any unusual rec
ord yields have been made where
heavy applications of fertilizer and
liberal amounts of nitrates were used,
but on the other hand, practically all
the good yields, those that at least
were profitable, have been grown on
land where cover crops of some kind
have been grown.
Records as far as possible will
be kept on this work and the yields
April production of the Chevrolet
Motor Company was 106,096 cars and
trucks, more than 20,000 units above
the original schedule for the month
and within a few thousand units of
the output in May, 1930, the biggest
production month of last year, W. S.
Knudsen, president and general man
ager, announced this week.
The April output falls only 4,000
units below the comparable figure for
April, 1930, which was one of the
two biggest months of 1930, and com
pares with 79,603 cars and trucks
built in March this year, Mr. Knud
sen said.
The largest truck-load of furniture
we’ve ever seen arrived at the Free

Food Cures Pellagra
.Dr. Symington Warns Against
Use of Advteji^ised Cure-alls
and Preventatives
What is the present condition in
regard to pellagra in North Carolina?
It is evidently on the increase, for
sixty-three deaths were reported to
the Vital Statistics division of the
State Board of Health as occurring
from pellagra dfuring March, says
Dr. J. Symington, Public Health Of
ficer. In 1930 only fifty-two such
deaths were reported. With this dis
couraging situation as early as
March the outlook for an increase
during the spring and summer months
is bad.
In the meantime, every commercial
concern in the United States having
something to sell which by any stretch
of the imagination could be related to
a consideration of pellagra is busy
selling its particular cure-all prevent-
all.
In the opinion of a certain writer
now is the time for the more exper
ienced physician and health officers
of North Carolina to unite their ef
forts and to take command of the
situation if this scourge is to be erad
icated.
No progress in the control of this
disease will be made until a major
ity of the people learn that there is
no milk out of a can, no meal out of
a bag, no medicine from a drug-store
and no doctor’s hypodermic acting
alone which will prevent or cure pel
lagra. And most impoi*tant of all
they must leam that most mail-order
prescribers and mail-order drugs are
frauds, can do no good whatever and
are doing a lot of damage. The right
kind of food in sufficient quantity,
correct living habits with intelligent
medical attention in early stages will
put pellagra out of business in a
short while anywhere.
Can Moore county be made an ex
ception to the general trend in the
increase of pellagra throughout the
State? This can only be accomplish
ed by careful attention to preventa
tive measures, says Dr. Symington.
