The Bill Now Carries $1,270,000 for North Carolina Senator Simmons Adds $365,000 More to States' Ap propriation Constituting Largest Amount It Ever Received. Washington Correspondence Char lotte Observer, 23rd: Senator Simmons covered himself with glory before the commerce com mittee today by adding $265,000 more for North Carolina waters to the river and harbor bill, making the total amount added by him $870,000. The bill, as amended, carries provisions for $1,270,000, the largest amount the State ever got. The best thing about the situation is that Mr. Simmons says that every dollar will stick in conference. This bill, as it left the House, car ried $390,000. Senator Simmons may still add several hundred thous and dollars more for the purchase of the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal as a part of the inland waterway, if the survey gets in in time. Of the sum added, today, $200, 000 is for the lower Cape Fear, be low Wilmington. The House bill provided for $200,000, making a to tal of $400,000, half of which Is to be used to construct a modern hy draulic dredge for exclusive use in that river. He also added $27,500 to construct a canal 10 feet deep from the in land waterway canal, now nearing completion, to the town of Beaufort; $19,0000 for a canal to connect Morehead City with the inland water way and $16,000 to construct a ca nal to connect the town of Oriental with the inland waterway. The ob ject of these short canals is to con nect these three towns which are lo cated on the waters through which the Inland waterway canal will pass with that canal by a depth corres ponding to that of the inland canal. The Senator secured' an amend ment for the improvement of Smith's creek. Another very important amend ment secured by Mr. Simmons today was a provision for a survey of Cape Lookoujt, Cape Hatteras and South port, with a view to establishing suitable harbors of refuge on -the North Carolina coast. This amend ment also provides for a report upon Cape Lookout, not only with 4 view to establishing a harbor of refuge but with a view to determining . its availability as a commercial harboT or a coaling station and a statfbn for vessel supplies. This is great work for Mr. Sim mons. He Is turning the wheel for his State. " Eastern North Carolina owes him a great deal for his suc cessful efforts In behalf of the water projects there.

PLAY AT SCHOOL HOUSE. "A Case of Suspension" Delights Ap preciative Audience Excellent Musical Program Rendered School Grounds Fund Increased. A fairly good-sized audience was present last night at the Central school auditorium to witness the play "A Case of Suspension," given under the auspices of the Woman's Betterment Association. Because of unforseen circumstances that arose the second play, "A Regular Fix, which was advertised to be presented In connection with the one that was given, was omitted and a delightful musical program was substituted therefor. The concert program In cluded a song, "Daisies," excellently rendered by Misses Clara Armstrong, Nell McLean, Ethel Padgett, Mar garet Morris and Blossom Fayssoux; a solo by Miss Pollie Fry, who has a remarkable voice and whose rendi tion was greatly admired and appre ciated; a humorous Teading by Mrs, R.

McConnell; and a se lection by the school orchestra. The play, which depicted the predica ment of some young lady students at a boarding school and the ingenious manner in which they extricated themselves, was presented by Miss Withers, Miss Violet Rankin, Miss Clara Armstrong, Miss Nell McLean, Prof. J. B. Warren, George Gray, Charles Gray, Grady Rankin and Harry Shuford. The actors acquit ted themselves in a most creditable manner and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the play, with its numerous laugh-provoking situations. Twenty- six dollars was added to the associa tions school grounds fund. PRAISE FOR DR. GLENN. Bulletin of State Health Board Cites Work of Gaston's County Physi clan in Handling Smallpox as an Example for the State. Secretary W. S. Rankin of the State Board of Health sent to The Charlotte Observer of the 15th Inst an advance article which appeared in the February Bulletin, just out, entitled "Responsibility for Preval ence of Smallpox." We reprint be low a section of this article which will be read with interest by Gaston countians as it shows how well and how closely our county Is guarded against this disease by reason of the ability and efficiency of our county physician, Dr. L. N. Glenn. The Bulletin Bays in part: "It is therefore perfectly appar ent that it is much more economical for the town or county to handle the disease in its early stages than la ter; that In addition to this saving early control prevents losses from industrial interference, prevents much unnecessary sickness, possibly death, and prevents the county be coming an expense to the rest of the State. Efficient county health work s not only the cheapest and best thing for the county, but a public service and a blessing to the entire State. "Without reflecting in any way on other health officials, the editor wishes to call attention to two excep tional examples of efficient public health service. "In Gaston county during the last five months six independent foci of nfectlon have occurred. Each focus can be clearly separated rrom the others by both time and space. The county superintendent of health, Dr. N. Glenn, has definitely traced each outbreak to its origin. From fhese six different invasions of Gas ton by smallpox not a single case has been allowed to develop. Every case occurring in that county has been carried in from the outside. This is as perfect a piece of prevent ive work as will be found. It cost this county for this absolute protec tion of its health, life, trade, and reputation for efficient county gov ernment between $400 and $500, a small sum, when compared with counties reporting from 50 to 190 cases and from $500 to $2,000 cost to themselves, not to mention their cost to neighboring counties." ' The Rem in Tuesday's Gazette which stated that Rev. R. C. Aader son would preach at Belmont next Sunday was an error. Her. Mr. An derson prtacfeed at Balzaoai last Sun day and will occupy his own pulpit as usai next Sunday, TERSE TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
