148 APPENDIX. 1)0 ronioiiihomi that the hookworm is most abundant hi sandy re-prions—the same h:)\v-lyin£^ regions where malaria is most common— and ai'e confident that in nearly all of the cases ascril»ed to malaria th(^ presence of hookworm can he demonstrated, and that it is likewise abundant in the rolling and mountain sections. While full and accurate statistics are not yet available, we nevertheless feel sure that Dr. Stiles is within bounds in his estimate that 33% per cent of the white rural population of the South, belonging to the class referred to, are afflicted with hookworm disease, the essential feature of which is amemia. No piTrer strain of Anglo-Saxon blood exists in America than courses through the veins of the small farmers of the South, and, true to their blood, they are a brave, proud and independent people. If any one doubts the quality of the stuff of which they are made let him turn to the records of the War Between the States, in which they bore their full share, and read the story of the many liloody battlefields, from Bethel to Appomattox, on which their desperate and heroic valor crowned them with immortality. Hut they are sadly handicapped by <Iisease and ignorance, due to circumstances beyond their control. C'lu-ed of the one and relieved of the other, bone of our bone and fiesh of our llesh, they would develop into an element in our industrial and political life beyond compare superior to any foreign immigration possible. Can any one deny this? The State is wide-awake to the importance of educating all our pwple, and in another generation the last half of the problem will be solved. And can any one deny that the man who has found the key to the solution of a very large part of the lirst half of the problem, of the whereabouts of which all of us were in utter ignorance, is a benefactor to North Carolina and the South? Charles Warden Stiles is the man who has done this, and if he were to die to-day he would be so considered by every lover of the truth who knows the facts. But if circumstances shall so come about as to enable him to carry out what we know to be the desire of his heart— to devote his life to aiding us in our stupendous fight, not only against the hookworm, but other unsanitary conditions—he will be regarded, and justly regarded, l)y all our people, as one of the best friends and greatest benefactors the South has ever had.
