Evidence of the popular Interest In the anti-consumption crusade is given In a statement made to-day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo sis. ti> the effect that during the year ending August 31, nearly 3,000,000 people have attended tuberculosis ex hibitions in various parts of the coun try. Besides the three traveling tuber culosis exhibitions of the National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis, there are twenty-eight exhibits of this kind In various parts of the country.' Four years ago there were only three such displays In the entire country. Over 300,000 people have attend ed the three traveling exhibits of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu bercijlosis, which have visited ten different States and territories during the year Just closed. The three exhibits are now stored for the summer months. The Southern Exhibit has been shown in Tennessee, Alabama, Flor ida and Georgia in ten different cit' ies and has been viewed by about tOO,000 people. Thousands of oth ers have been reached by the litera ture and posters distributed, so that the number of people who have been educated directly or Indirectly about in t\A«nn1i\B(a Ktr 4h(a nvVi I.Kit t«x onn. slderably over 360,606, The Western Exhibit of the Na tional Association has worked during the past year mainly In Kansas, Ne braska and Northern Missouri. In all. fifteen cities have been reached and over 110,000 persona have visit ed the exhibit. In Porto Rico, the Spanish Exhib it of the National Association, the first of its kind, has met with decid ed success. Twenty-two cttles, In cluding about one-third of all the towns In the Island, were visited and over 100,000 people viewed the ex hibit. The poor transit facilities in the Island made it necessary to haul the exhibit from place to place on ox-carts, like a traveling country circus. As a direct result of these exhlbi *'"n campaigns, laws relating to the anti-tuberculosis campaign have been nassed in Tennessee, Florida, Ne braska, Kansas and Porto Rico. In the latter territory, a comprehens ive governmental campaign against tuberculosis has been started. Qt£ lng to the fact that over eighty pel cent, ol the natives of Porto Rle( are illiterate, the problems there ari very difficult. Another result of thi wciTr has beenj.that nearly a million people have received Instruction a bout the dangers of tuberculosis, am ways to prevent It.

While it is a fact that the ground on which this notable battle was fought between the British troops and Tories under Col. Patrick Fer guson and the American patriots un. der Generals Lacy, Williams and Se vier, October 7, 1780, is located in York county, and all patriotic citi zens of York are proud of it, still It is a fact that all American citizens, and especially those who are de scendants of the men who from 1775 to 1781 engaged in the struggle which ended in the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, should feel a deep and patriotic interest in the ceremonies to take place on this his toric spot In October. •, Owing to the fact that they are oi the ground, so to speak, the peopl< of York naturally feel that they are largely responsible for the success of the occasion, but they do not consid er that the responsibility is all theirs or that other Americans think so either. There were North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina troops engaged In the battle and the indications are that all these States will be represented on the occasion of the dedication of the monument. It'is estimated that the necessary expenses incident to the occasion will amount to from $1,000 to $1, 500. The people of York are show ing a disposition to do their full .k»K,ifr wiIll naAil anil AV l\oe f Q U _ sistance from beyond her borders. Mrs. George H. O'Leary, of York ville, treasurer of the Kings Moun tain Chapter, D. A. R., will be pleas ed to receive and acknowledge any sums that may be contributed to the expense fund.

Those who intend rooming at the college should notify Mr. E. B. Ow en, West Raleigh, when they will ar rive, but failure to do this need not prevent anyone from securing a room at the college on his arrival. Those expecting to room at the college should bring towels and pillars with them. The accommodations for rooming at the college are not good, owing to the fact that the college has no fur niture or bedding except that fur nished students, but such as is there will be at the disposal of those who wish to avail themselves of it.

Owen at West Raleigh. u _!_ An Error Corrected. , The Gazette ia requested by. one of the parties interested to say' that the following Item, which appeared In the Issue of Frlday.la an erroneous one, "Miss Fannie'Craig and Mr. Gra ham Dixon, both of the New Hope section, ware married yesterday.” It Is a rare thing that The Gazette gets -caught In so serious a blunder aa this and in justification of ourselves will say that the Item was given in at this office by a man known to the ed itor as a reputable gentleman %io, however, stated that he did Wot know the particulars. An effort Vas made to get In phone communication with some one In the New Hope sec tion to get details of the wedding but for some reason the parties called could not be gotten to the phone. The information aa to the fact hav ing come from a source deemed by us to be absolutely reliable, the short item was written and inserted In the personal column, without question. It seems to have been a case In which our Informant had been Imposed upon. In Police Court. Mayor Craig disposed of the fol lowing cases In police court yester day morning; George Moore, drank and disorderly, fined |1 and costs,' and acquitted on a charge of lndul?-. tug In an affray; Thomas Lytton, af fray with George Moore, fine of $1 and costs; Charles Watts, drank and disorderly, fined $1 and costs; Or ville Oates, drunk and- disorderly, fined $1 and costs; Ida Simpson, col ored, carrying concealed weapons, held under $25 bond for trial at court.
