William F. Grigg of Oriental Wead a" very interesting paper on the '' (subject of "Malaria.'? He attributed N . the disease to the - mosquito and gave , S some Valuable information as to the extent ' of its ravages. He' dwelt at V; : ome length, also on hemorrhagic fever . ; W which designated as the most dangerous , -o all diseases in Eastern North Caro- r 1 - Una.1; lie gave - the history of several cases of hemorrhagic fever adding . when he had finished the description C of the last; "Vou will note the treat- ; iV Cement of these cases has been omitted ..' " as the patient is 4 law uno himself. ',: ," ".JIo - two cases can be treated -alike ' j' -successfully and the treatment should iot be aempted by any one until they : have made a close study of the disease itself." - Dr. Grigg said further: . . Importance of Malaria. ; The British Encyclopedia states that this disease, has been estimated to -produce one half of the entire mortality of the human race in as much as it is the most frequent cause of sickness and death In these parts of the globe J that are most populated the estimate "may be"" taken as rhetorically correct. The deaths front malaria' in the U, "S. Amount to approximately 15000 a year. .-There are in addition to the 15000 ihat ' die annually from the disease according ito a- careful r estimate between one "minion and five hundred thousand and three million who suffer from it effects. A striking example of,. this in shown in i the failure of the French and the ex- explanation of the success of the Amerir cans in the Panama undertaking., 1 .i;' ! It is estimated that the French, lost fifty thousand .men - from mosquito . twrnc diseases malaria arid yellow fever. "Their hospitals were ovecrowedd most of the time.- The high ;deatM rate 'of 'It 10 -'per cent, died ' annually. Thia. death rate prevailed in 1887 and when ' , the United States .began the Canal in :, 1905 the" death' rate was'. 65 per one thousand of the population each year.' In five years sanitary supervision under i-ol Gorgas, that death rate' has" been j-t reduced to a little higher than that in V;the 0. ft.

Proof of this people who have never . had the disease nd have .lived all. their lives in countries ? where' malam ever ex-r isted have been takea iito- the1 most malarial countries and there " separated into groups. ' One of- thes groups have been placed in a screen house and kept there theother group has lived in an Unscreened " house. 1 ': The first group although breathing the same air eating the. same food and drinking the; same water as 'the second group remained perfectf ully, well; s while . the .f second group living in the , unscreened bouse all bad malaria. The-above experi ment not only ' destroys the", miasmic theory of malaria, but. goes much fat- ther; these two groups of people "being subject to identically the same environ- ment except as regard mosquitoes and yet affected. so differently, would in dicate that the insect was responsible for the disease. Now it is known that when a mosquito bites anyone it . is necessary for the insect to "first injeet its own saliva into the puncture-to dissolve the blood cells so tlat the blood may be drawn through the small calibur of the proboscis. Following Dr.TSrigg, Dr. E. J. Wood of Wilmington read av very instructive paper on "A Plea for Hie More Accurate pia gnosis of Malaria". This paper was full of. 'interesting and instructive information and evoked considerable discussion. Before the closing of the morning session papers on variqus subjects had been offered by Dr,. Joheph T. Buxton of Newport News, Va., Dr. J. 1. Nicholson of Washing ton, D. C. Dr. A."K. Taylc of Wash- intrton. N. C, Ur. 1. A. Williams o! Washington, D. C.,- and Dr. R. S Primrose of this city. Following the reading o( each of these papers there was a bhort discussion by one or more of the members. The afternoon session was Consumed in the reading of a number; of papers on variouB medical subjects. -'Among these:, were ' f'The Municipal .Control of ' .Cbntagipus , and L Infectious f -,Dis eases" by Dr." Powhatan S.

Speaker Tonight. - i Last night's feature of the obsenrance of Home Mission Week in New en wa a study , of. the American Indian and of the Frontier, addresses on these subject being - made at' the . First Baptist church. - The call that comes to the Christian world from these two sources was strongly emphasized. The choir of the church rendered in a most acceptable manner as an athem the hymn "More Love to Thee." Rev. J. B. Hurley, presided over the exercises . He explained that the pastor of the church was necessarily at Golds- boro this Week attending the sessions of .the Baptist State Convention. J. M. Dick discussed' the problem uj the chnstianuatioti of the American Indian. Vlt' is dreadful to think", he said, "that we have had the Indian among us for several hundred years and yet today upon telling the, Indian of the true Christ, he replies, -"I never heard that before." "Even in our ve'ry midst we have nction that nothingis less than heathen. While most of the tribes acknowledge one supreme being, many inferior deitieds are worshipped." The speaker 'said that the Indian when converted made a most excellent citizen. "'After the course of rege" eration", he said, "we find the Indian a respectable, law-abiding citizen worthy of the respect of a civilised nation arid a credit to his kin." ' A more earnest interest in the spiritual welfare" of the Indian on the part of Christian people was urged by the speaker. - Mr. Samuel Lapsley discussed the subject "The" Frontier", his appeal being in behalf of the great foreing element ih -this country. He pointed put. the fact that fifty per cent- of our population is - foreign born. Of the vast throngs who come to th, country every year, -. Z5U,WX)return with the story, of the wealth of .the-country and nothing about an effort to provide them with eternal life, he said., -'The laro-e : foricrn Element livinc along tne frontier are earnest people, Mr, Lapsley said - and will willingly enfbrace Christianity" when it is pre sented to them. After some remarks by Rev. Dr. 'J- H.-.N.

A bo u t tn be For med - r T Recently there ,has been some, talk among local fans of again getting New Bern in : the baseball circuit and- of starting anew the old Eastern Carolina Biseball League. Next month' a meeting of. the, towns "composing .the Carolina circuit, and other towns ' in the State which - are; interested in baseball will be held at Charlotte. At this meeting an effort will be made to start an all North Carolina circuit. This circuit owing to geographical location, is not at present looked upon with much favor since the jumps would possibly be the length of the Srate, however, if New Bern is going to get into the league this will be the time to act. Rocky Mount and Golds- bom are both anxious to get in the league. This" would put three towns in close proximity with each other and in a six team league, Fayettefville, Raleigh and Wilmington . could be counted upon to join. New Bern was at one time in the league and despite the fact that her team managers were handicapped in many ways, made an excellent show ing. . 1 Here was not as much enthu siasm in the game as there is at present The baseball park was also in a dilapi dated condition and there were many other discouragemants to be reckoned with by both the players and the mana gers. At the Fair grounds there is ample room for a diamond of any size. This would be an ideal place for the ball park. When -a city has a baseball team it is a certain sign that is is a live wire town. ' In many ways it helps a town and New Bern should be in this leaeue about to be formed. Several local fans have spoken very enthu siastically of the matter and have stated that they would lend all possible aid in the endeavor to get New Bern again on the circuit. 4- DR. McGILL DEAD Kinsman by Marriage of Mrs Bryan Wa Very Noted Man. Dr. John D. McGill, a noted phy sician of Jersey City, died.a few days ago. He was a brother -in-lawof Mrs. A. T. McGill, "widow of Chancellor McGill of Jersey City and sister of Mrs, James A. Bryan of this city. A dis patch from Jersey City .telling of Dr. McGill's death , says: Dr. John D. McGill, one of the foremost physicians of New Jersey and for twenty-six years, surgeon general of the New Jersey national guard, died at - his home ,16 Giflord avenue, this city. - "Dr. McGill, who was in his sixty sixth year, was horn in Alleghany City, Pa., and was the son of the late Alex ander Taggart McGill, D. D. ,LL. D., of; Princeton Theological seminary and oT'Eleanor Achesbn McCollough. Dr. McGill was a brother of the late Chan cellor Alexander T. McGill of New Jer sey. - He was graduated from Prince ton in 1867 and latet studied medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, fin ishing, in '1870. Later he took a post graduate course in Berlin . and in 1879 began the practice of his profession in Jersey City. " ; f'Dr. McGilUiad a wide reputation as a' surgeon and ' medico-legal expert and was often called in court as an expert wintcss.. He was for forty-one years a member of the staff and medical . di rector of St. Francis' hospital, Jersey City and a member of. the consulting staff of the Jersey City hopsital. , i Dr. McGill was a former - president c! the Hudson .County ; Medical, society and a fellow Df that body.' In 1873, Dr. McGill joined the medical department of the New Jersey riational guard, ris ing through, the various grades until he; was commissioned surgeon general with the f ank of .brigadior general,, in 1886." . 1 ':r Irt 'the course of a !engthy,-and very ppreciative- editorial on Dr. McGill, the Jersey City Journal, says: , ? . These brief statements convey no idea of the" force Dr. McGill exerted in these various lines.' He was pro gressive and fearless. He devised Tem-i edies for existing ills in each -public position and enforcedKhis views with hard work, keen logic and, indomitable 1 r .... L . courage. His worK was a Deneni to ine city even when it". was -not at first so recognized ,and most of the changes he sought have been ellected -by the force of circumstances. 1 In ad.litiorrto his many othcr'activi- vii-s Dr. McGill in the latter part of his 1 1 icanie president of the JIudhon C v I ; i( ioiial Dank, which under ment prospered as it had t' ! 1 I W. if f s r WALKER II N. A. Purlfoy Says It' Necessary to Conserve Work That Ha Already Been Done. SOME TRAFFIC OVER IT NOW If Permanently Maintained Would Subettantlattyncrease New Bern' Trade. N. A. Purifoy, who lives on R. F. D. No. 1 was in the city -Wednesday attending to some business matters and while here called at the Journal office and gave an account of the work which has recently been done on Walker road. This road starts at a point about eight miles from Bridgeton and goes through to the Beaufort county line. For the 'ast few years it has been in an impassable condition and a few months ago the citizens living along the road and in that section decided to put it in passable condition. The matter was taker) up with the local Chamber of Commerce and the coun ty Commissioners. This latter or ganization gave the people to under stand that if the road was put in such a condition that it would be passable for traffic, the convicts would be put to work on it and the raod put in first class condition. For several months the work has been in progress and the road is (Tow in fairly good condition and during the week of the fair there was considerable traffic over it. fc'nless the work is continued and the road is put in con dition to stand heavy traffic the work which has already been done will prove of no avail as the road will be cut up and washed down. Mr. Purifoy has had a talk with C. P. Bradham, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and he will look over the road during the next few days. To place this road in such con dition that traftici over it will be possible at all times will mean much to the commercial interests of New Bern and it will cost compara tively little. Trade which formerly Went to Beaufort county will come to this city. WIFE IS SCORNFUL Advertised," She Tells Just How The Land Lies. ' Newton, N. J. Dec. 4.
