Thursday, Dec. 7,1905 Bamberg ought to have a fine hospital, equipped with all the modern appliances for the treatment of chronic diseases or the performing of difficult surgical operations. We hope that the county medical society will take up the idea, for we believe it is a good one, and we feel sure our moneyed men would invest their capital in such an institution. * I * * Comptroller General A. W. Jones says that county auditors must refuse to receive tax returns unless the owners return property at its market value. This is aj good idea in one sense, and one which I': we would like to see carried out, but we doubt very much if it will be. There are I lively times ahead if the auditors gener ally attempt to carry out tne instructions of the comptroller. We are rather curious to see the result in this county when the auditor refuses to accept the return of ?? . some old tax dodger who has been dodgr-y ing his proper share of taxes for years and years. North Carolina at Bottom. The question as to which State stands at the bottom of the illiteracy list ought sow to be settled and the long rivalry between North and South Carolina for position of honor at the bottom of the column finally decided. A bulletin issued hy the department places North Carolina at the bottom of all the States with 166.1 ? illiterates out of every 1,000. Next lowest is Louisiana, then Alabama, then South Carolina, with 148.4 out of every 1,000. In the whole country one person | in every ten is illiterate though the bulletakes pains to state that if you eliminate V the negro and foreign element that large percentage would be reduced one-half. Among native white males of native i parentage the degree of illiteracy, age 45 to 54, is exceptionally hig'h, not only 0-' higher than in any younger age group but higher than in the next older age group, |[-r - 55 to 56. Since those persons who were between 45 and 54 in 1900 were between five and six when the Civil war began it ia evident their illiteracy reflects the conditions that prevailed' daring that conflict when the interests of popular education in the South were no doubt seriously p neglected. Even in some parts of the fe|:. North there are evidences of an increased - illiteracy among the children of that v - period. Thus the record of important / historic events may be traced in the dry statistics of illiteracy.?Zach McGhee in ? Columbia State. jfe* , A Child's Advice. One morning a Sunday school was ; about to be dismissed and the youngsters were already in anticipation of relaxing their cramped little limbs after the hours ^ . of confinement in straight back chairs W; ,-; . and benches, when the superintendent arose, and instead of the usual dismissal, M announced: "And now children, let me introduce Mr. Smith, who will give us a I . abort talk." I Mr. Smith, smilingly arose, and after gazing impressively around the class room, began with: "I hardly know wht.i to say," when the whole school was conrulsed to hear a small, thin voice back in the rear lisp: m. "Thay amen and thit down!" Knew He Was a Northerner. Tx ~~ A nnmKov nf tKo It IS lilt CUOtUUl ill a uuuiuu ui ?uv/ Soathero States for negroes, loaded down with huge trays and baskets of fried chicken, to meet each train and attempt to dispose of their edibles. A gentleman, tired of the sameness of the buffet-car menu, hailed one of the darkskinned Hebes, who waddled toward him with her basket in which laid tempting portions of chicken. The traveler selected a "drum-?' stick" and was dispatching it with great gusto. "I say, auntie, this is certainly a fine ehicken. Where did you get it?" Her face expanded in a broad grin, t showing a wonderful expanse of molars and bicuspids as she replied: \ "I raickon youse from de Norf, ain't you, sah?" "Yes," replied the traveler in a surprised tone; "but what has that got to do with it?" "Wall, I was just a thinkin' that nobody but a northern gemman would ever ask a southern nigger where she got her chickens." _ In Louisviile the other day a street car ran over and killed a woman with a re markable record. She was seventy years old and it is alleged that in fifty years she had not drawn a sober breath except at such times as she was locked up in jail and could not obtain liquor. It is estimated that she spent five years of her life in jail, and was drunk for forty-five years, yet she was so athletic at the age of seventy that it took two policemen to handle her when she became too boisterous. She had been arrested 253 times. Too tiood to Live. The patient, according to the Yonkers Statesman: "There's something wrong with my heart, doctor. I fear I'm not go ing to live very long." The doctor: "Nonsense, give up smoking." "I never smoke, doctor." "Well, stop drinking." "Never drank liijfcor in my life." "Well, you must keep earlier hours then." "I'm never out of my bed after 9 o'clock.' "Oh, well, my dear sir, I think you bac better let nature take its course. You're altogether too good for this world." Broken and Mended. On swept the little red automobile that was built for two, says the Chicago News "You?you seem so quiet," whisperec the beautiful girl, anxiously. "Is there anything about this machine that is broken?" "Yes," hissed the tall man at her side bitterly. "My heart." Feeling remorseful at having jilted him so cruelly the beautiful girl leaned ovei and added: "Cheer up, George! If your heart if really broken we can stop at a repaii shop." "Nonsense! What kind of a repaii shop could mend a broken heart?" "Why, the parsonage, George!" Twenty minutes later the "repaii shop" was reached. A Preacher in Land Frauds. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 80.?Rev.

EXPEEIMEra PEOMISE MUOH. Br Kew Method of Treating Tuberculoma He Hna Succeeded In Rendering Animala Immune, and They Con Probably Be Cared When the Disease la Pally Developed. Whatever may be the practical value of Dr. Behring's new treatment of tuberculosis, the announcement of his discovery has created a sensation both In scientific circles and with the general public, says a Paris cable to the New York Herald. "The exact facts are that I have been studying for a long time a new method of treating tuberculosis and think I have broken fresh ground," said Dr. Behrlng in speaking of his discovery. "There are certain animals which contract this malady with great facility and have hitherto proved refractory to all attempts at vaccination. T have finally succeeded in rendering them immune as regards the bacillus and probably can even cure them when the disease is fully developed in them. "Experiments on mankind have not yet been made, but there is ground for hope in this respect the path I am following being totally different from those explored up to the present" Dr. Behring went on to indicate that he found the germ of his new departure in works on pathology written by Ka Vmnoh o/itonHato 'RflfJp T.flPTlTlPP UiC A' iVUVU OV4VUMMW , Lebert and Robin in the early part of the last century. He noticed that they classified tuberculosis in two categories, one characterized by gray transparent granulation, known as Bayle's granulation, and the other, which developed toward suppuration. Virchow's discoveries have created a tendency to class both categories as one and the same thing. Dr. Behring says this tendency is erroneous. His studies have convinced him that the old distinction established by the French pathologists is well founded and may be fecund in results. He continues: "Bayle's granulation does not contain a microbe. It is not accompanied by suppuration. The other species of tuberculosis, on the contrary, swarms with microbes. A minute investigation on the evolution of both species in the lungs and spleen has led me to wonder whether the cure of the malady might not be found In the malady itself. . "By means of a process which I shall explain later I utilize Bayle's granulation to eradicate the evolution of the other form of lesion, the one thai is really dangerous, the one that bontains microbes, suppurates and results In purulent consumption of th lungs." Discussing this matter editorially the medical editor of the European edition of the Herald says: "Every one was struck by the sensational communication made to the Matin by Professor Behring. The matter in question is nothing less than th?i discovery not only of the means oi prevention of tuberculosis, but of a cure for that disease. Dr. Behring will not make this discovery known before a year has elapsed. He reserves for himself the right of exploitation during a certain period which will enable him to prosecute other researches. "nils news Is of a nature to noia om marvelous hopes to unfortunate con sumptlves In the future. But how sad for the present sufferers, who know that a decisive remedy will be made known when they can no longer profit by it! "Immediately after Dr. Behrlng*s communication the Herald made an In quiry. Without going so far as tc make an affirmative statement, for th< reason that what it knows has beer learned through Indiscretions, it is it a position to state that a portion a! least of Dr. Behrlng's remedy comei from the milk of cows previously ren dered Immune against tuberculosis. Ai it is scarcely probable that this mill can be used in Its natural form then is some reason for believing that serun alone Is employed and it could scarcelj be utilized in any other way than thai of subcutaneous injections." Berlin's Dust Catchers. An Investigation is going on in Ber lin as to the danger of the dust of the streets causing sickness, says the Sai Francisco Chronicle. The royal boarc of health at various places in the cityfor instance, at the Opera platz anc near Unter den Linden and other local ities?has had erected so called dus catchers. This apparatus consists o; round boxes about one and a half fee high, put on a post at a height of si2 feet above the ground. The boxes ar< left open to collect the dust flying ii the air. After some time the boxes ar< closed, and the dust collected is anal yzed to see what substances dangerous to health are contained in the stree dust. And Now It's Motor Boots. Motor boots are the latest startlinj production of continental Inventors. 1 young Swiss engineer is said to havi succeeded in manufacturing a pair o boots endowed with motive power o their own. The new invention consist: of a pair of stout boots, each of whicl is nothing more or less than a minia ture motor car mounted on fou wheels. The boots are worked by pe trol on a new plan, which the invento keeps secret. It is claimed that an or dinary pedestrian can travel all da; over average country roads at a pae of twelve miles an hour without es periencing the least fatigue. | Hats! its We have the nobbiest si have ever handled.
