Dr. Joseph Goldberger, Senior Surgeon in the United States Public Health Service, whose research work in the study of pellagra has attracted world-wide attention, will speak to the members of the medical profession of Wilmington, New Hanover county and the surrounding section Thursday night, January 27, in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, at 8 o'clock and a special invitation is extended the physicians of the nearby towns and cities to be present at that time to hear him. Dr. Goldberger's theory is that pellagra is caused by an unbalanced diet, and his experiments along this line have brought results that have convinced many that he is right. It will be remembered, whereby he indue ed the disease in a number of healthy J convicts by feeding them on an un- J balanced diet, and later cured the diseaes by substituting a balanced diet. The convicts who submitted themselves for the exeperiment were given "^heir freedom hv tho Clf\rrn*rn.f;? - xxw v? UVi Vi iHID" | sissippi as a reward for their service j to science. I The spread of pellagra during the past few years, and the health problem presented thereby, has claimed the attention of the whole medical world, and many of the most learned lumbers of the medical profession are conducting research work to determine cause and cure of the disease. And while pellagra is more widely prevalent in the South than elsewhere, it is by no means unknown in the North and West, so the solution of i APPROPRIATIONS BILL SOON REAOY Columbia.?J. T.

Dr. Goldberger visited Wilmington | about ten days ago, spending several ! days here studying conditions in the j city and county, and expressing himself most favorably on the results j that have been achieved in public health work here. He was extended an invitation to spak to the members of the medical profession while here, but was unable to do so at that time, as he was called to Jackson, Miss., on important matters. However, he consented to return to the city next Thursday, and to deliver his address that evening. He will tell of his studies and experiments made in hie pellagra research work, and his remarks are sure to be of vital interest to all members of the .medical profession. It is expected that he will . be heard by a large audience, including not only the physicians of Wilmington and New Hanover but-others as well, from the adjoining cities and counties.

MAKE SCHOOL HOUSE THE SOCIAL CENTER Editor Herald:? Please allow mc space in you~ valuable paper for a few lines. Get your shoulder to the wheel and work for better schools. Every man or family in the country pays local and national taxes, directly or indirectly, and should receive some lasting or permanent benefit from the purposes for which the money is spent. When the money is spent for a public building the taxpayer and his family should receive more benefit from it than merely the privilege of stand ing on the outside and looking at it as a public monument. The best example that we can think of in this, connection is the use of public school property. Public school buildings are built and maintained through taxation, and therefore belong to the public, irrespective of whether or not the people have children as members of their families who go to school. The school building should be so conducted and arranged that it can be the social con L tor for the neighborhood or com munity, thereby being of use to all who support it. Many well to do people who could af % ford to put their children in private schools send theip to the public schools because of the desire to have ? them come in contact with others withwhom they will associate as mcr and women when grown up. The pubf lie school thus develops the true spirit of a republic institution, for in the o words of the constitution, all mcr, are created free and equal. Some of the most pleasant recollections of mail lure men and women are of functions that were hold in the "little red schuc house" when they were boys and girb s In a few of the large cities and to s? some slight extent in rural districts, ^ the school houses have come into greater usefulness as a social center, but the advantage and practicability s of the plan has not been generously u considered. o It should be so arranged that the meetings of boys and girl's neighbors and of their fathers and mothers, n should not end with school day. Most school buildings arc not used for half the year. If a house is occupied only n six months of the year the loss of i- maintenance, depreciation and interest on the ivnestment is double what it should be if the house was used all i- the time. n School property is. not used on acs. count of the short school hours, more than 25 per cent of the time in a s year. Therefore the cost to the pub5 lie is four times what it would be if the property was put into community use. High school and common e school buildings which have more than two or three rooms should have an extra room for social gatherings, 8 entertainments, dancing if pou please, k and harmless card parties, everything that goes to make neighborhood life worth while. The one room schooli house in the country district should be built to serve as a meeting place for community "get-to-gether" clubs, 8 and for neighborhood gatherings. The 8 school seats should be so arranged V that they may be removed when room d is desired and a little kitchen annex should be a part of the schoolhouse, to be used in the neighborhood parties. n Arrangements should be made for " lectures at frequent intervals, when it V would be possible for the men, women and children of the neighborhood to hear speakers from the State AgriX cultural rnllmfn "? IM I i Will ftlKllC OII.CM' s institution and where picture shows could he seen and entertainments held. Make the school house a social center. Let parents and children pet 1 more out of life and taxpayers pet more for their money. PERRY HARDEE. " Loris, S. C. * * * J. J.

OIUJJJJ itV. IUS ciuimbers in Florence last Monday morning appointed W. A. Freeman, cashier of the Conway National Hank, as receiver under the statute, of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, which rccently found it necessary to close its doors and stop payment. A majority of the members of t',r? board of directors, including its largest depositor and some among its largest stockholders had recommended the appointment of Mr. George Officer to the position. Other stockholders and at least one director, the the stockholders numbering thirty or more, opposed the appointment of Mr. OUlcer and advocated the appointment of Mr. Freeman. The judge decided the matter giving reasons in an order reading as follows; t ORDER. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County cf Horry. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS., The State Ex Relative ?L M. Mouldin, State Rank Examiner., Plaintiff. VS. * ikf Farmers & Merchants Rank, W. R. Lewis, et al., Directors, Defendants. Upon hearing; the application for the appointment of a receiver herein, I appointed W. A. Freeman receiver. In refusing* to appoint Mr. Ceo. Officer, who had been recommended by the d;rectors of defendant bank, I castreflection upon him. I did not appoint him receiver because he is an inter; ested party and I think it wise to appoint some one wholly disconnected with the defendant Bank. S. W. C. SH1PP, Judge 12 th Circuit.

The commencement exercises were carried out nicely. Several speeches were said with music at each interI vals. The music was rendered by Messrs. Boss and Ninnie Roberts, with violin and banjo. The music was 'very beautiful and appropriate for the . occasion. At the wind up, Mr. Cox, our teacher, delivered his farewell address, followed by a few remarks by the writer. Bob Roberts won in the contest for the most head marks, winning a nice book as a premium. At the closing of commencement exercises, the box supper program was carried out. There didn't but a few ladies respond with hoxes. hut ... -.-V V-.VJ I "VII. We collected $10.35 for eight boxes. Miss Isa Belle I)ix and Miss Bessie Roberts were the contestants. Miss Pix was declared the most popular girl. A nice cake was given to the side winning. $1U.35 was collected in this part of the program. A nice cake was walked off bringing $1.30. A total of $25.00 was colj lected in all. This amount will "oe [ used in painting the school house. We had good behavior with a little cxcep: tions. We had a most successful term of school. It was under the care and management of Mr. Andrew J. Cox, a teacher who has had several years experience in the work. He lias proved his ability as a teacher. I can recommend him to any who want a good teacher, on who teaches both by precept and example. We would be glad to be able to got Mr. Cox back with us again next year, but in the event we fail, we would be glad to get some one who can fill his shoes. Our school was cut short nearly half from what we were expecting, but we hope we will have a longer term next year. ED. J. ROBERTS. Galivauta Ferry,. S. G.
