the retail business district of Garnett
street, will be the location for the
store, and is being remodeled and re
novated to suit the purposes of the
liquor dispensary. It is expected to
be ready in ample time for the open

order for one car of assorted liquors,

Upkeep Plan
(Continued from Page One.)
IP£5 General Assemblv early in the
session it was out today by
Chief Engineer W. Vance Raise. Ap
proximately 1,000 additional mainten
ance men have been at work sisce
March on the roads that were in the
™'crst condition and most of these
have now been areally improved. Ap
proximately $750,000 a month has been
spent on additional maintenance dur
ing the past four months.
One of the problems in connection
with the new maintenance appropri
ation of SIO.OOOOOO a year is that sl
-a year of this must be spent
in the employment relief labor, Baise
pointed out. It is not yet definitely
known iust what wage scale will be
paid this relief labor, but it will prob
able be about $1,400 per man year
with the result that the ’highway de
partment will have to employ about
1,300 relief laborers a year as main
tenance workers. Baise pointed out.
If these relief laborers turn out to be
as efficient as the other workers, the
plan will workout all right. But
Baise is inclined to doubt whether
these relief laborers will be as effi
cient as the ethers, and that the main
tenance division will get as much
work done with this relief labor as it
could if left free to employ its labor
without restrictions.

S
No New Case Has Been Re
ported in City in About
One Week
TYPHOID SERUM GIVEN
Hundreds Rushing for Inoculation
Against Disease as Numbers
Exceed Any Campaign in
Recent Years
Health authorities and doctors in
general here are hoping that the peak
in the outbreak of infantile paralysis
has been reached, since it has been
about a w r eek since the last case in
this county was reported. They have
no basis for the hope other than that
it has been a long time since the last
case turned up than th interval be
tween any of the others.
A total of fourteen cases have been
found in this county since the pres
ent flare-up of the dread disease, and
two of these have died, both being
very small children. At the present
time there are 12 cases in the county,
and, according to reports, some of the
sufferers continue to show improve
ment. Information is not available
for all of the children who have been
stricken.
Meantime, the rush to obtain the
anti-typhoid serum preventive goes on
unabated throughout the county.
Everywhere Dr. Z. P. Mitchell goes
in the rural clinics he is being greet
ed by great numbers of people seek
ing the treatment, which, of course, is
free. Nearly 1 000 received the vacci
nations Monday on visitations to ru
ral localities, it was reported today.
And the number being treated at the
health office is still very large.
No figures are available for last
week, but at the end of the previous
week more than 2.000 persons had been
given the first and many of them the
second of the three injections requir
ed for the full treatment. Indications
now are that the number taking the
preventive this summer may set an
all-time high record for Vance county.
ARRANGE FOR DESK
POLICE SERGEANT
Arrangements are being made at
the fire department for quarters for
the new police desk sergeant, but the
set-up has not advanced as yet to the
point where the service can start. A
part of the new plan provides for a
number of telephones to be stationed
about over the city where officers on
beats may be reached by calls when
it may become necessary to communi
cate with them. I
NEGRO HELD FOR
; CUTTINGTWOBOYS
Louis Hawkins Slashes Bob
Neathery and Wesley
. Adams, Jr.
Louis Hawkins, Negro is being held
in jail pending the outcome of injuries
he inflicted upon two white men at
the Vance Filling Station at the cor
ner of Garnett and Granite streets
last Saturday afternoon. He stabbed
Bpb Neathery, operator of the sta
tion, and slashed Wesley Adams, Jr.,
to the extent that several stitches had
to be taken to close the wound.
The Negro came to the filling sta
tion to see another colored man who
worked there, and got into an argu
ment with Neathery, in the course of
which he pulled out his knife and at
tacked Neathery. He stabbed the
young man in the chest and on the
arm. and Adams sensing Neathery’s
predicament, went to his rescue and
received a deep cut in his thigh and
a minor slash on his finger. Adams
is able to be about, but Neathery is
still confined to his bed. According
to information, the Negro was aiming
at Neathry’s throat and may have in
flicted a serious, if not fatal, wound,
had not Adams intervened.
After the cutting. Hawkins escaped
and was chased some distance to a
cotton field, where he was overtaken
and arrested. Police locked him up
to await outcome of the injuries to
Neathery before prefering charges.
A hearing /will probably be arranged
as soon as Neathery is able to appear.
