New York, June 14 They tell a tory in New ork ol a small ooy was found in one of the public sctuo.s peeling o? little bits of his skin and handing them round to his school mates as curiosities. It was discovered after this interesting game had gone n for some time that little Johnnie haJi just been having scarlet fever; the keensakes he was thus distributing among his follew pupils were the ef fective means of distributing a prac tical working knowledge of that dis ase among them. The school is at present undoubtedly the chief dis- :;no renter of disease. It serves DCUiliu-"b a sort of clearing house in this re rct. lohnnie brings his scarlet fever, while little Jimmie from the aext street contriDuies ms uiuf'i hut already infectious, case of measles Tohnnie takes home Jimmie's measles, and Jimmie takes home Johnnie's scarlet fever, so that tnere is noimng okr..it it and nobDdv Rets left UUflM " " - - iiit It is not surprising that as onseauence measles, scarlet fever, and j:.k,i,;a the characteristic infee- lUfJlllIl'"! tious diseases of childhood, show i.r in,r, is, everv fall after tlu 1 iuui ' - opening of the public schools.

Eiliot, is going to take " th Hmonsi many other aspect ! the ir,,,r, nf the nublir school i the icitiiiiii r health of the community. One of the main subjects of the con ference will be "School Children as Carriers of Disease," and the means of safeguarding children in the public schools from dangerous diseases will iw. m-v fnllv considered. Indeed it ought to be so, simply as a question of the square deal. V.e compel cnno. rentogo to school, and impose penal ties upon them and on their parents jf they do not attr.ed. It certainly is only fair that we should take at least reasonable precaution not to inoculate them with dangerous or fatal maladies when we get them there. Of 'Widespread Importance. This matter (f school hygiene indeed one of intern. :li nal importance -ri , l,,w,l is i r.-bnllv the ouhlit a.. . whir!. has and mav have mo effect upon the pi:b!:c he; 1th, whether 10 destroy or to promote. The lu;;l: h of nations .is affected at its most vital point is the real subject with which it deals. So far as the question of mere safety is concerned, the school can undoubt edly be made, in the case of most in fectious diseases, the dafest place for tfce child to be, instead of one of the Jost dangerous. Indeed it has al ready happened in towns where thorough school medicaj inspection has been enforced, that the schools have been opened instead of being closed in cases of epidemic, the child being safer there than in the street. Influence of School Work. But one more point upon the nega tive side is to be d scussed at this con ference. Schools in the past have harm ed the children not merely by dis seminating infection but by t'lcm scjves reducing c ertain ailments. Papers are to be read at this con forence on The Influence of Sri o -I Work upon the Nervous Energy and Develooment of the Pupil, and upon J;..,'. the prevention of nervousness among iv-v$r iscbool children, and there is to be a '. iv ' paper by Professor Gricsbach of Mul sW' in , ..hausen on "Brain Localization and ' .

" ; BEWARE THE WATCHMAN Fair Grounds To Be Protected By Guard. Recently some unknown person or persons have several times broken into the buildings at the Eastern Carolina Fair Grounds. The Fair Association Company have a number of articles of value in these buildings and in order to keep all inquisitive prowlers from the premises after night fall they have 'placed a watchman there. This watchman has been given orders to keep all persons from the grounds after nightfall and has been instructed to shoot them if necessary. All per sons are warned to keep off the Fair grounds at night. MRS. R. B. LANE UNDERGOES AN OPERATION. Mrs. Richard B. Lane, wife of Sheriff R. 15. l ane, underwent a serious op eration at Mewart s sanitarium yes terday afternoon. The operation va very successful and her many frineds will be glad to know that the patient's condition is very gratifying. DR. C; IN. STILES Tl NOTED PHYSICIAN TO SPEAK ON THAT DATE IN GRIF FIN AUDITORIUM. Dr. Charles W. Stiles, super tendeut of the United States Marine Hospital at Wilmington, will delivc free lecture in the Griffin Auditor in Tuesday night at 8:.M) o'llo.d on the sulncrt t untie llcatlti aii( Civic Betterment." It is expected to prove a very lu 1 I ul and liitorming lecture anil a lurgi ,.l n.ntlanre is hoped for. The speake is a man cf wide reputation ami tl: City Beautiful Club under whose auspic he will speak feels that it has bi particularly fortunate in securing . services. That he will give the peop. something worth hearing is certain. This lecture was originally announced for the court house, but on account of the better lighting facilities at the Griffin Auditorium it was decided to hold it there. This consideration of the evil that the schools have done to children's sight brings us to the more hopeful and constructive side of school hy giene. The schools are going to be in the future, and have already become to a great extent, the mean. of preventing or improving many kinds of physical defect, among the chief of which are defective ight .i..d .! l relive hearing. .Mam examinations si hool children in- dillerenl land- have shown I bat about a fifth ol thrill have serio.i.-l defective i-ion. In many ase. t!;r:r drfrets were not discovered in 1 1 i t old ivs. Thousands ol peojile have g r.e through life stigmatized as dull or half-witted because they could not learn to read, when in truth the fact was they had never seen a book clear ly enough o distinguish one letter from another; and the pathetic part of. it was that the people themselves have believed in their own stupidity, when the putting of a little piece of glass before their eyes would have remedied this supposed menial al normality. In some stales the law now requires every child in the public schools to be testeil to hnil out w net In r he ran hear and whether he ran see. an obvious lint li-iated pi e a a I ion before trying to make' him read or take part in oral oerr.ise;. Treatment The Important Thin?, Of course lift- important thing not diagnosis b..l l;ealnient, and I hi again is one of those farts tli.it are so obvious that they are a little apt to be forgotten, not however at the coming congress. It is not so important to know that a child cannot sec, al though that in itself may make an enormous difference to his mental and physical condition, as it is to enable him to do sqj' The tests of hearing are apt to havi the important result of discovering adenoids; and it has been shown that twenty minutes given to taking out an adenoid may do more for a child's mental development thaa , twenty year'f teaching could have done without, such operation. JESDAY NIGHT ARAPAHQ E GETS NEW TRIAL Jury In Case Of Violation Of Search And Seizure Law Fail To Agree. NOAH B. LEE THE DEFENDANT One Week Term Craven County Superior Court Comes To A Close. A one week term of Craven county- Superior Court which convened in this city last Monday morning for the trial ot criminal cases only with Judge O. H. Allen of Kinston presiding came to a close yesterday afternoon. Judge Allen again demonstrated his .ibility to clear a docket in record breaking time by making a clean sweep of the docket. A lew easts were continued but this was done on request ind they could easily have been dis posed o' if they had been ready for trail. One of the most interesting cases brought to a close yesterday was that in which Noah B. Lee, white, of Ar apahoe was charged with violang the Search and Seizure Law by having more than one gallon of whiskey in his possession at any one time. This case was begun onthe previous day and was hard fought by both the prosecu tion and defense. The case was given to the jury before the noon recess. 1 he jury could not agree on a verdict and a mistrial resulted. The defend a lit was required to give bond tor hi appearance a!

MAN i nni rnnim Luurv ru mm OLLECTi LIQUOR DRAFTS ALLOWED A United States Court Holds That This Is No Violation Of The Law. DISTRICT COURT REVERSED Held That Prohibiting Carriers From Collecting Does Not Apply To Banks. St. Paul, June 14. A bank which collects a sight draft representing tin purchase price of liquor shipped in nter-State commerce into a I'rohi lition State does not violate tin law prohibiting a carrier from aitieg a igent, according to an opinion handed town Friday by the Initid Male- Circuit Court of Appeal-. The opinion was delivered by I'm siding Juilge rvinhorn, in reMt-ing the derision of the District Court of North Dakota, in the case of the f irst National Bank of Anamoose, which had been convicted and fined $300 in the lower court. "The history of the times and the proceedings in Congress which led up to the enactment of the statute, says the opinion, "have convinced this court that the mischief at which it was leveled was not the collection of sight drafts by banks of ordinary collectors for the purchase price ol liquors, although bills of lading were attached thereto and delivered on col lection, but that it was the collection bv carriers or I heir agents of the pur-rha-c price for C. O. D. shipments ol li-j'u r into prohibition States liereb tiny beianie virtually the agent- oi t he liquor dealers in I lie si lliiu ol liquor-. ' ' Judge Sanborn declares tli.it. in the opinion of the majority ol the court the law excludes "banks, ordiuar collectors and all per-nns who are not nil tubers of I hr general i lass ot carrier-." In a dissenting opinion Judge '1 fiber declares that the statute clearly in cludes not only all common carriers and their employes but "any other person who is connected with the trans portation of intoxicating liquors in Inter-State Commerce, shall collect the purchase price thereof, before, on, or after delivery, from the con signee or any other person," regard less of the fact that he is not an em ployee of the carier. Florida cantaloupes are plentiful on the local market just at this time and the price of fifteen rents each or two for a quarter is well within the reach of those whose appetites crave delicacies of this variety.

The thief left no clue by which he could be traced but the authorities are of the belief that it is the work of ionic one living in or near Vanceboro. Mrs. L. J.
