Cleveland Springs Water .Source Not A Typhoid Danger Water Slightly Polluted By Hands. To Be Purified At Once. A report spread about Shelby last night and today stating that the water in the famous mineral spring at Cleveland Springs had been con demned. This was somewhat erron eous as today it was stated that there is no source of pollution of the water there ad® the water has net been officially condemned. There is, however, a slight sur face pollution at the spring caused by people getting their hands in the water while dipping. The comity physician says that /this surface pollution, which shgrtfs a slight bac illi count, can be cleared up in a day or so with the proper treatment of the water. The spring will be clos ed to the public at a precaution un til this is done. It was made plain that there is nothing within the spring area to cause pollution of the water, the source being entirely pure but the slight bacilli count now is accredited to indiscriminate dipping of the hands pr unclean utensils in the spring. The spring proper will be enclosed to prevent pollutfbn on the part of the patrons and water can be se cured from the overflow pipe on the outside. Masonic Meeting.

Baskervllle In Gastonia Gazette.) Raleigh—One of the most inter esting and significant out-growths of the State Democratic convention here last week was the preponder ant popularity of two men with the Democrats of the state. These two men are Clyde Hoey of Shelby and J. C. B. Ehringhaus of Elizabeth City. Both came to the convention as private citizens, to do what they could to help the convention and the Democratic party. But the dele gates- ■wotm not'Tet them alone, in sisting upon doing them honor. Two other-outstanding Democrats were honored by the convention, and showered with acclaim, namely Governor O. Max Gardner, who is probably the most popular governor the state has had in 20 years and who is more popular now than when he took office, and Josiah William Bailey, but recently honored by be ing made the nominee of the Dem ocratic party to the United States senate. But the honor bestowed upon these two by the convention was the type of honor that is be stowed to those to whom honor's du6. It would have been discourte ous and an exhibition of lack of good Democratic breeding not to have cheered and created somethin? of a demonstration for Governor Gardner and Mr. Baiiey, for they were recipients of the highest hon ors which the Democratic party has to bestow. And the demonstration accorded these two attested to then genuine popularity. Especially notice able was the enthusiastic reception given Governor Gardner, and the real confidence which the conven tion reposed in him, despite the dif Mrs. Levi Turner Passes At Grover Victim Of Pellagra And Complira At mar died ’clock at her home at Grover, following an attack of Pellagra and complica tions.

Should Report Pellagra Cases Health Officers Says Failure To Do So Makes Disease Fight Harder Raleigh, July 9.—Failure of hund red of pelagra victims to report their condition to physicians or pro per health officials is proving a great handicap in the battle against the disease in North Carolina, said a health bulletin made public by Dr. G. M. Cooper, director of the bureau of health education of the state board of health. The bulletin referred as example to a quoted opinion oy a physician of a certain North Carolina county that there were 1,000 cases of pella gra in the county in question. Re ference to the official report of the state board of health showed, it was added that there had been only 23 cases of the disease officially repor ted. Failure to consult a physician or health officer naturally prevented remedial measures being taken, it was pointed out. The cases being mild, mast of these oer-ons proba bly do not realize that they have any such disease, the bulletin said "Years ago 1 assumed the attitude that the disease should not be diag nosed without the skin eruption ex cept when a definite history of its past occurrence could be secured. In the light of what is to follow let me state here that in every such case a careful survey of the pattpnt’s diet should be made and corrected re gardless of the possibility of pellegra In so doing much precious time will be saved for many of those destined to present the full pictures at later time. "In many instances the skin erup tion is the first and only, indeed, in even more case the only sign of sickness. I have found a great diffi culty in persuading some of these patients that the trouble is not sim ple sunburn. Enough have held nut in their own opinion and later de veloped the distressing signs of the disease to prove the value of this first sign to an intelligent and co operative patient. In such instances i complete eradication with the cer tainty of no recurrence can be as sured and time and experience with tiundreds of cases justify this opin ion, The eruption may be So trivial a* to escape detection."

Seen As Census Nears End Washington.—Half of the | states have completed the de cennial census. The other 24 are busily adding away toward the new sum total, which the census bureau hopes to announce sometime in July.. Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia reported populations totaling 50,198,950, a combined gain of 7,444,129 over their 1920 population, or 17.4 per cent. California was _ the greatest gainer in the list, passing both Michigan and Massachusetts on the impetus of a 64.4 per cent increase. Vermont, Increasing by 1.9 per cent, showed the least augmentation. Not a single state reporting thus far has shown a decrease. A 17.4 per cent increase over the 1920 population of contin ental United States—105,710,620 —would make a 1930 population or 124,104A7. The states remaining to report probably will lower the percent age of gain, since census bu reau estimate of the 1930 popu lation was about 122,597,000.
