Ireland greets America. The new Ireland acknowl edges and appreciates the steadfast sympathy and sup port she has received from the American people through all the years of struggle. And she reaffirms the long-standing amity existing between the two countries. On St. Patrick's Day last year Ire land was in the grip of terror, but she was sustained by the funda mental justice of her cause and by the sympathy of the people of the world and pre-eminently of the Am erican people. This year the terror is gone and Ireland takes control of her own des tiny and place among the nations of the world. The American people will now! realize her faith in Justice, and that' Ireland was justified. j We have a great work before us to rebuild a nation oppressed for centuries. I We, the Irish people, take up the work joyfully. Our friends in America will find j that Ireland restored to the Irish I people is also Ireland restored to the world. The close friendship existing be tween Ireland and America is built on love of right and Justice.' Ireland stands for those ideals now as heretofore. Friendship built upon these ideals 1 ii built upon enduring foundation.

Coining out of the woods, he saw Sheriff Wrightthat one of the County s best-known waiting by the roadside for him. He turned to run, and the officer fired at him.

Many people here are wondering why the Job has lost its popularity. i Little hints from various quarters indicate that there Is a possibility citizens, an elderly man who has dabbled somewhat In politics, and who is known to be Interested In public affairs, may come out as a candidate for the lower House of the General Assembly, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries, That man is not known yet to have expressed himself on the matter, hut certain of his friends are confident that he can be persuaded to run, and they are down behind him.

ALL SHOULD GIVE i FOR MEMORIAL Dr. John Saliba Urges That People Aid In Financing Gorgas Memorial Institute, Named After Southerner That the people of this section con tribute liberally to the Gorgas Mem orial Kndowjnent Fund, of which North Carolina's quota is $10,000, is urged by Dr. John Saliba, well known surgeon of this city, and presi dent of the local medical association. I The memorial is to be erected at I Panama, a tribute of the nations to I William Crawford Gorgas, often de scribed as the greatest man of hi generation in the Held of humani tarian service. Contributions are being solicited during the present month. "The purpose of the Gorgas Mem orial Institute," states Dr. Saliba, i "is first of all to conduct researches 'with a view to the prevention of dis eases of every kind, and to-train men and women to assist in the work of disease prevention. In the Becond i place, it is to honor the memory of Gorgas, 'The man whose work made the coimplettion of the Panama Canal possible." Third, it is to meet an im perative need namely of health ser vice, whereby the world may gain happiness, prosperity and economic stability through better health. Health Is the foundation of our per manent greatness as a nation. "Major-General William C. Gorgas was a native of Alabama. He was a tween 1881 and 1904, had excavated 81,500,000 cubic yards of earth, By 1888, the' date originally set Iby the French for the opening of the canal, the undertaking had ' ot 60.0Q0 llves, the promoting company was bankrupt, and thousands of 'families had been ruined by its operations. The credit of France was shaken to Its foundations. "Then the United States took over the Canal project. Six hundred men comprised the first force of workmen and this nunrber was rapidly In creased In order, as President Roose velt said, 'To make the dirt fly.' But still' the greatest obstacle remained In the way. The Canal Zone was the unhealthlest place In the world, ex cept one. Men were dying like flies. By December 1905, though 17,000 men were employed In the work, not a spadeful of earth was being turn ed. The United States Senate was dumbfounded. "Gorgas, who had banished yellow fever from Cuba, was called In. He put the whole force of the labor army into the service of sanitation. Pave ments ' were laid, swanups were drained, every house In the Canal Zone was Bealed and fumigated. Al coholic drink was forbidden, except at Colon and Panama, the cities at either terminus of the canal route. From a pestilential hole, Panama was converted Into a model health community through Gorgas' brilliant work. "If the Immortal spirit of Gorgas could return to earth.
