GASTONIA G PUBLISHED TWICE A WEEK TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. SINGLE COPY 8 CENTS. GASTONIA IS A BUSY TOWN. $1.50 A YEAR IX ADVANCE. VOL. XXXIV. GASTONIA, N. C. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 8, 1913. NO. M. AZETTE FOR BETTER H EALTH COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER RECOMMENDED GOV. BLEASE AT DALLAS III SOCIAL CIRCLES IK OF THE COUNTY cou TYCoriissioies In Exhaustive Reort to County Board of Health and County Com missioners, Gaston County Medical Society Reviews Health Conditions And Recommends County Health Officer for Whole Time Particu lar Attention Paid to Pellagra of Which there Are a Number of Cas es in County. "There are 48 cases of pellagra in Gaston county. Within the last two years 34 have died from this disease as reported by 21 physicians of tne county. Of these 4 8 living cases, 20 will be dependent on the public Tot care and support, since they are in families who are poor and indigent and cannot afford even the necessi ties of life. In Oastonia alone there are 24 cases." With the above startling state ment of facts, Dr. H. F. Glenn, speaking for the Gaston County Med ical Society before a joint assembly of the County Board of Health ana the county commissioners, prefaced an exhaustive and comprehensive re sume of health conditions in Gaston county. Dr. Glenn's speech was thorough and. complete and had Tor its expressed object the betterment of conditions in Gaston county along the lines of sickness and disease, and the elevation of the county along these lines to a parity with tne recent advancement in educational, road-building and other progressive improvements. At its last meeting the county medical society appointed a commit tee to appear before these two bodies and yesterday's meeting was the re sult. The county board of health is composed of Chairman J. F. Leeper, of the county commissioners. Supt. of Education F. P. Hall, Mayor C. B. Armstrong and Drs. Re!d and Sloan. Probably the most important measure introduced was the recom mendation that the county employ a health officer for the whole of hrs time and entrust to him the healtn conditions in the county. He should be required to see after all quaran tining of contagious diseases, should see that the vaccination law is en forced, should see to the registration of all deaths along with the sex, a?e, nativity and cause of death of tne decedent.'whlch is in accordance with a recent law passed by the legisla ture. In this way the health depart ment could be made more responsi ble to the people than any other de partment of the government. ' Dr. Glenn began his report by con trasting the improvement and prog ress tha county has made in otner lines to the improvement made in general health and sanitary condi tions. Assuming that Gastonia has a population of 10.000 and the county 40,000, there are 120 deaths in Gas tonia within a year and 480 in the county. Of these deaths fi7 are from contagious and infectious diseases or from preventable causes. The great est number of deaths is due to gas trointestinal diseases among child ren, of which Gastonia shows an an nual record of 26. This is above the general average in the United States, and the cause lies in poor , sanitation and lack or knowledge in feeding and care of infants. At this rate there are 268 deaths in the county from preventable causes. ' Of tuberculosis, 6,000 die annual ly In North Carolina. Gastonia's rate Is 12 per 10,000. This is also a preventable disease. Dr. Glenn thus went through the whole cate gory of contagious and Infections 'diseases and showed that they were preventable by the proper knowledge and sanitation. Typhoid and mala rial fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, with all their attendant and subsequent effects, were fully dis cussed and it was shown how with proper precautions deaths from the above could be prevented. Dr. Glenn then took up the dis cussion of pellagra. He said that physicians knew nothing of Its cause, or cure and could promise no relief to the natients. According to the best evldeice it is not conta gious. Here Dr. Glenn gave a vivid discrintion of the manner in whicn the disease affects a person and of the extreme physical and mental agony endured by the sufferer, often -ending In the wildest Insanity. Tn many of the homes of the town tn which It is found, there are no ade auate nursing facilities, dirt and filth abounding Dr. Garrison em phasized Dr. Glenn's statement with a graphic desfription of cases com ing under his observation. He said that oftentimes patients were delud ed by quacks snd patent-medicine venders who, promised relief, but who could do nothing. He was followed by llevs. J. H. Henderllte and J. J. Beach, both of Whom gave statements of the manner In ) whicn the disease affected those they had seen. Both ministers told of the extreme suffering borne by the patients. j J Prof. J. S.Wray and Attorney A. G. Mangum bath made short speeches endorsing DA Glenn's . report, the former stressing the compulsory vac cination law and the latter giving an example Of the successful worK of the county health officer In Gran ville county j ,MayorC. B. Armstrong said that the town steod ready to help In -any way to relieve the suffering of these people and i would pay part of-,the county beslih officer's salary.

The property is still for sale and any parties interested in it as a whole or in any of the tracts into which it has been divided should see Mr. Wilson at Wilson's stables, Gas tonia. of alleviating the present conditions among the destitute. Dr. L. N. Glenn, county physician stated that he was frequently called on to deal with cases like the above mentioned and whether he should send them to the county home or where, he knew not. Conditions, he said, were de plorable. The sentiment of the meeting was for the betterment of conditions among the poor and des titute suffering from pellagra and that if the way were clear, a county health officer should be employed. Chairman Leeper said that before any formal action could be taken by the board of commissioners that a meeting of the board of health should be held to devise ways and means of getting at the best method of introducing and putting into ef fect the proposed recommendations. The sentiment of the meeting on tne whole was that instant relief should be afforded the needy and suffering and-lt is believed that as a result of the report and discussions brought out. a general change for the better in- health conditions will toon take place In the county. Among Dr. Glenn's recommendations was meat, milk and food inspection. This Is In line with Dr. Stovall's recommenda tion of a few days ago as shown in The Gazette. - - - 60VERN0R KAKES 600D IMPRESSION Immense Crowd of 5,000 People Gather at Dallas for Red Men Cei ehration and to Hear Gov. Cole Blease Speak Made no Political Speech, But Talks Freely of Situ ation in South Carolina Other Kvents Staged. Saturday was a great day for the people of Dallas and surrounding country, especially the Red Men. The celebration pulled off by the frater nal order was one of the most suc cessful ever attended in Gaston county. A crowd variously estimat ed at from 5,000 to 6,000 was pres ent. The principal attraction of the day was the address of Governor Blease, of South Carolina, who is a prominent Red Man of his native State. The majority of this crowa had gathered at Dallas in the hope of hearing some of Governor Blease's sciisational political speeches, but they were doomed to disappoint ment, for the Governor confined his speech to the principles and benefits of the order. He said that althougn there were a good many South Car olinians In the audience who were doubtless wanting to hear something interesting he ould not satisfy them since he was speaUng to a North North Carolina audience. Yemasee Tribe No. 134, constitut ing the Dallas organization, was host Saturday to a district meeting of all the tribes of Red Men in this sec tion. Visiting delegates were pre3 ent from I incolnton, Charlotte, Oas tonia, Shelby, Yorkville, S. C, ana Clover, S. C. and other places. Governor Blease Is a prominent Fed Man in his State and his aa die88 was the drawing card of the day. Mr. S. B. Sparrow, chairman of the committee on arrangemento, engineered the days program wltn tul a hitch. He with Mr. Coit M. Robinson, met Governor Blease tn Gastonia, where he spent Friday night after coniiiig from Woodruff, S. C, where he broke Frldfty. Governor Blease, beginning his speech, said that he had been elected Governor of South Carolina througn the efforts of lh& Red Men of his State. Speaking of the order, tne Governor said tl;at the Red Men pre sented one of tne soundest fraternal ciders Jn the Ur led States. Their insurance, he said was the cheapest iu the world. They took the beat raie of their widows and orphans or anj fraternal society. He said that Instead of sending them to orphan homes and asylumns, they gave them to the nearest o' kin. Among tne principles promulgated and praotic tu by the or'ler. friendship, freedom and morality were paramount. SPOKE BUT HALF HOUR. Owing to the excessive heat, tni Governor did not speak longer than "0 minutes, closing his speech witfi the remarks above: quoted. After dinner The Gazette man tn conversation with the Governor found him ready and willing to dis cuss politics and the situation m general in Sooth Carolina. Governor Blease does not seem, from general appearances to be tno fire-eating love' of notoriety that iie ie generally pictured. He says wha: he thinks about any one and any tb'ng, regardless of consequences. When asked about his recent contru vtrsy with Secretary of War Garri son over the appropriation to tho South" Carolina State militia, whicn was ordered discontinued by the Secretary, the Governor with a twin kle in his eye, replied: "Well, 1 still have my soldiers and am still drawing the us'ial amount of mou ey." The Governor Bald that this affair had been ereatly distorted Oy the South Carolina newspapers. GOING TO SENATE. Asked about his chances for th United States Senate, he said: "I am going next year as sure as anything. President Wilson Is go ing to give Senator Smith a good Job, and they are going to put ex Gov. D. C. Heyward out against me. He is no speaker, and I am going to beat him the same way I won tne gubernatorial race. The eommo i people, the working class of Soutn Carolina, are behind me and. I can not lose. In spite of the clique form ed against me by The Columbia State and the other newspapers i am going to the Senate next year." The Governor went to Dallas by automobile from here behind a very fast driver. He was asked about the negro chauffer In Columbia and said in reply:' "I have had that negro running for me for nine months and rhe has never run over as much as a chicken, and has never had a punc ture or a blowout." PRAISES CRAIG AXD KITCHIN. This was Governor Blease's first speech in North Carolina and ne seemed favorably impressed with the people, the country and the general run of things. He was high In his praises of North Carolina's public officers, especially Governor Craig and ex-Governor Kitchln. A number of the Governors staunch followers from across the line. Clover, Yorkville, Gaffney and other South Carolina cities were present and gave him a rousing ova tion when hejsppeared on the plat form. At the conclusion of the days events, Mr. Blease left via Gastonia and Spartanburg for Columbia. Preceding the Governor's speecn there was a parade of the visiting and local Red Men which constituted one of the features of the day's pro gram. ' LATEST EVENTS IN WOMAN'S WORLD RKV. AND MRS.

HOLIDAYS TRAGEDIES. Number of Fatalities on Fourth From all Causes, 41. New York, July 5. While the movement for safety and sanity in the celebration of the Fourth of July worked wonders in the reduction of the number of victims of gunpowder, despatches from a score of different points throughout the country as noted here account for 41 persona killed in a variety of other accidents incident to the out-pouring of tne holiday crowds. Twenty-eight persons were drown ed, five persons were killed in auto mobile accidents, five in a single train accident and two killed In aer onautic sports. This count, being from the comparatively few reports of minor tragedies, filtering through the crush of holiday news, outnum bers more than twice the gunpowder acidents of the day. The list of drowning accidents, known definitely to be as many as 28, is probably far from the correct total. Such tragedies are so frequent that unless two or more are victims at a time, the accidents are not reported. In this city and virtually alone, there were 10 drownings yesterday, and the New England district reported five. There were six in the Ohio River at Louisville, three at La crosse, Wis., three at Pittsburg and one at Buffalo. Incidental to the day there were also five persons killed by lightning, one variety of holiday tragedies that the safe and sane movement is un able to reach. District Meeting.
