Free Vaccination Against Ty
phoid ? One or Two Cases
Accepted as Challenge
Typhoid clinics will be held at
Pisgah Forest school this afternoon
(Thursday) at 2 o'clock and also on
the two succeeding Thursdays of the
month; at the Rosman school Friday
atternoon at 2 o'clock and on the two
succeeding Fridays of the month,
when large numbers of people are to
be vaccinated against typhoid.
The clinics are being held un
der auspices of the State Health
Department, with Dr. Charles L.
Newland, county health officer, in
charge of the vaccination work.
John E. Floyd, District Sanitary
Inspector, is in charge of gen
eral arrangements in connection
with the clinics. The vaccination
program is being arranged simply as
a precaution against possible spread
of this dread and useless disease. , .
There were one or two cases of i
typhoid, it is said, at Rosman last
year, and this year another case or |
two developed proving to the author
ities that some local conditions exist- 1
ed in that community which created j
the typhoid germ, or there are "ty- 1
phoid carriers'' living in the com- j
munity. The authorities have been j
busily engaged during the week in j
making examination of water supply j
there, and have made such changes ;
as would guarantee complete removal I
of any cause of typhoid from this !
source. The only other thing neces- j
sary, it is pointed out, is for citizens i
to take the vaccine treatment, which |
makes them immune to the germ eith- j
er from water supply or from conta- 1
gion by coming in contact with a;
"typhoid carrier."
Pisgah Forest has been exception
ally free from typhoid, and only the
suspected presence in the community
of a "typhoid carrier" causes the
authorities to deem it necessary to
give the vaccine treatment in that

ANOTHER CHANGE IN |
SCHOOL BOOKS SEEN
This Time Ii Is the Old Arith

Bath ? 2 Plus 2 Not 4
Raleigh, Oct. 14 ? The State Board
of Education has decided to call for |
bids for supplying arithmetics, and
presumably drawing and writing
':>ooks, for the public schools of the
State for next year and following
years, on the belief that contracts ?
made now will be on a basis of such
a low price that the State can ill af
ford to postpone adoption of new
books longer.
Also, the new books will be more
modern and up-to-date than the books
which have been in use, one book 15 ] '
years, another for 10 years and j;
which are regarded as antiquated by i
the teaching profession. The board :
last year postponed adoption, as rec- ,
ommended by the State Textbook '
Commission. The board, in calling
for bids, reserves the right to reject .
any or all bids, a move expected to '
bring the books to the lowest possible !
price.
The meeting was held Saturday ,
mornifcg, attended by Governor Gard- ,
ner, Lieutenant Governor Fountain,
Attorney General Brummitt, Auditor
Baxter Durham, Treasurer Nathan
OBerry, Secretary of State Hartness,
and Superintendent of Public In
struction A. T. Allen. By changing
arithmetics now, the time can be re
duced for changing geography and
history books, which are more notice
ably out-of-date, since much of the i ?
geography of the earth has been <
changed and much history has been i
made since the World War, about ]
which time the present ' books were s
adopted. 1

Ehringhaus Blames the Administration
For Pickle That N. C. Finds Itself In
Raleigh, Oct. 14 ? Promise to give
to the national administration the '
blame for the present economic '
stringency to the extent that "it is '
attributable to stupidity in national
legislation and leadership" was made
by J. C. B. Eringhaus, Elizabeth
City, in his radio speech in Raleigh
last week / in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for Gover
nor.
While Mr. Ehringhaus spoke pri
marily regarding taxation, devoting
his time to three of the planks in his
platform, immediate revaluation of
property for taxation, special pro
vision for relief for the small farm
and home owner, and economy, but
economy with sanity, he gave promise
that in due time he would take up
national issues and speak of the part
they have played and are playing in
bringing about the economic-debacle
of the country.
"Though our" country today," he
said, "is possessed of considerably
more than half the world's entire
supply of gold, and though our peo
ple in industry and enterprise, as
well equipped for .life's battles, can
match any on the face of the globe,
we fjnd ourselves in the midst of a
depression which has played havoc
with our economic structure, destroy
ed many billions of our wealth, re
duced both industry and agriculture
to n condition of unparalleled pros
tration and brought several million
jobless men in the nation face to
face with the winter's task of provid
ing food and warmth for their de
pendents.
"That a part of this is due to
world conditions I do not deny.
"That much of it is attributable
to stupidity in national legislation
and leadership I shall not forget and
in propoT^cime and place shall lay
the burden at the feet of those re
isponsibile therefor.
j 'I mention it now," said Mr.
I Ehringhaus, "merely that we may
'recall, as a background for our pres
I ent thinking, that the problems in
'taxation now confronting the peo
: pie of North Carolina are the crea
tures, not the cause, of our present
I distress."
In introducing the subject of taxa
tion, Mr. Ehringhaus said, "I venture
to suggest that important as it is, the
subject does not comprehend all thai
challenges our attention in the pres
ent situation or that calls for some'
thing of our thougtful consideration.'

in an automobile accident on the Hen
dersonville highway last Sunday,
when a car driven by one of the col
ored men collided with a car being

Priday will not be attended by local
teachers, as schools will be kept in1
session until regular time Friday aft
ernoon.

On account of the illness of Rev.
Jesse R. Owen, famous Mars Hill
preacher who is to conduct the meet
ings, the announced revival at the
Brevard Baptist church has been
postponed until the Rev. Mr. Owen
has recovered from his illness. Prep
arations are being made, it is said,

BEST REPORT EVER
MADE, SAYS THOMAS
Report Made By J. A. Glazen
er and Cla/,* Gets Great
State Recognition
According to Roy H. Thomas, state
supervisor of Agricultural Educa
tion, the report compiled by the Bre
vard chapter of Young Tar Heel
Farmers and entered in the Ameri- ;
can Farming Contest is the best ever I
made on Young Tar H^el Farmer '
activities. ,
The report made by Pro:?. J. A I
Glazener and his boys was in book
form covering the work of the past
year, with actual records, data,
charts, numerous newspaper and '
magazine clippings? which had been
published concerning their achieve- ,
ments. The book gave complete and
interesting coverage of the entire 1
year's activities. It contained many ,
interesting and vital articles with
other topics valuable to the agricul- J
turists. The whole was enriched ,
with clear, actual photographs of ?
the projects, and members of the 1
association, together with complete I
explanations.
The cover was a beautiful hand- '?
painting of the emblem of the Fu- '
ture Farmers of America, of which |
the Y. T. H. F. is the North Carolina
department.
The following is a paragraph taken
fr; m a recent letter to Prof. J. A.

ervisor of Agricultural Education in
North Carolina, referring to the re
Port' ? r
"I wish to acknowledge receipt of
the report for the American F arm

ures Disclose
Raleigh, Oct. 14 ? With the ultimate
aim of having an automobile license
plate station in every county in the
State, both for the convenience of
the owners of automobiles, as well as
for increased revenues for the State,
Director L. S. Harris, of the Motor
Vehicle Bureau, is making plans for
an increased number of stations for
selling plates at the end of the year
for 1932.
A dozen permanent stations arc to
be added to the 16 in operation last
year, to remain open during the en
tire year, and 23 stations, an increase
over last year, will be open during
the license plate selling period, from
December 15 to February 15, Direc
tor Harris said.
Permanent stations will be added
at Lenoir, North Wilkesboro, High
Point, Reidsville, Rockingham, Ab
erdeen, Fayetteville, Wilson, Green
ville, Kinston, Weldon and at Way
nesville or Canton, in addition to
those which have been in operation
and will be continued at Asheville,
Statesville, Shelby, Gastonia, Char
lotte, Concord, Salisbury, Greens
boro, Burlington, Durham, Rocky
Mount, Goldsboro, Wilmington, New
Bfern, Elizabeth City and Winston
Salem
Temporary stations for the two
months period will be established at
23 points, unless plans cannot be
completed for banks at those points
which can and will meet the require
ments of State Treasurer Nathan
O'Berry as State depositories. The
tenative list of these stations is an
nounced by Mr. Harris as follows:
| Sylva, Hendersonville, Morganton,
Marion, Rutherfordton, Boone, Hick
ory, Monroe, Lexington, Albemarle,
Wadesboro, Laurinburg, Sanford:
Roxboro, Henderson, Tarborc, Eden

, Brummitt Says He Wants None of
Governor Max Gardner's Support
r r t -
Raleigh, Oct. 14 ? Attorney Gen
eral Dennis G. Brummitt has said, in
so many words, in two statements is-,
sued the past week, that he wants j
none of the support of the present
administration, as headed in the ex-i
ecutive, if and when he enters the
J contest for the seat of that executive.
3 : The statements are two hefty blows
_(at the wedge into the relationship ofj
I Governor Gardner and Mr. Brum-,
j I mitt, which has been cracking under ,
. ! the strain for many months.
< | Mr. Brummitt's statements are
- dignified, terse ahd to the point, but
- show a feeling that has been foment
s ing in the Brummitt breast for some
time and has just come to the sur
face. Mr. Brummitt charges Tyi
C. Taylor, executive counsel for Gov
ernor Gardner and formerly hi?
private secretary, with getting out
the propoganda that Mr. Brummitt
will resign as Attorney General
arhen he announces formally his can
didacy for .Governor. That was one
statement, to which Mr. Brummitt
adds that he has never had any
thought of resigning.
The other is evidence of resent- 1
ment as being classed'.as a follower
in the matter of the qnadriennial re
valuation in the excerpt from the
radio talk of .T. C. B. Ehringhau?
announced candidate for Governor,
?last week. Mr. Ehringhaus express
}
?
ed pleasure that other candidates
and prospective candidates have tak
en a stand for revaluation of prop
erty since he announced his platform.
Mr. Brummitt's statement reported
a conversation with Governor Gard
ner in January, in which the Attor
ney General was asked to approve- a
measure to postpone revaluation two
years, to which, Mr. Brummitt makes
it plain that he could not subscribe
Thus, he would have it known that
he did not follow Mr. Ehringhaus,
but was for continuing revaluation
all along. His statement is precise,
and he gives notice that more may
be expected on his resigning while
running for office business later.
By his statement, Mr. Brummitt
puts himself a step nearer formal
announcement, but still leaves him
self leavay to run or not to run
Many believe that his candidacy de
pends on whether or not Josephus
Daniels gets into the r although
there is intimation from the Brum
mitt camp that his plans arc not con
tingent upon the rtmning or not run
ning of any man. Still there is Dan
iels talk, but as yet, no action. Many
who doubted any desire on his part
to run, now believe he is giving it
serious consideration, It may be
that he is playing with it in order to
bring one of the candidates nearer
the Daniels point of view, peesibly
Mr. Brummitt, probably not.
