Darlington Republican; There is
more smallpox spread about the
country districts of this section Of the
state than for many years past. The
danger Of still further spread Of
disease lies in the fact that the infec-
tion is of light form and people
carry about the germs unknowingly.
To stamp it out however requires as
rigid quarantine as II IL were Of a
more virulent type.

APPEARS IN FLESH
To DENY DEATH.

Joseph Daneri of St. Louis. whom
press dispatches reported killed in the
San Frncisco fire, arrived in this city
Tuesday on the Korea and Is registered
at the Imperial. He has with him his
Japanese wife and is on his way back
to st. Louis. He will leave for the East
in a few days.
Daneri is a business man of st. Louis.
He startled his friends two years ago
by marrying Japanese. The fact that
she is beautiful woman and very
much American softened the criticisms
of Daneri's friends.
Daneri and his wife left st. Louis
early in April and were in San Fran
cisco during the fire. They escaped
uEhurt and took steamer for Japan. st.
Louis friends, not hearing from the
pair, concluded that they had perished,
and press dispatches announced their
death.

GAG PLACED UPON
POSTAL CLERKS.

The following passage from a circu-
lar issued by the Second Assistant
Postmaster General has stirred up
considerable gossip and feeling among
postof5ce employees here and in Los
Angeles:
II is deemed essential TO the proper
administration Of public business that
officers and employees of this Office
shall maintain respectful official reia-
tions with railroad companies and
other carrying companies, as well as
with their superior officers Railway
postal clerks must not engage In con-
troversy with or critisicm of railroad
officials involving the administration
of the postal service by furnishing in
formation TO the newspapers or pub
IicIy discussing or denouncing the acts
OF omissions OF such officials as affect
ing the postal service. Clerks violating
this instruction will be subject to dis
cipline and possible removal from the
service.
The circular is said to have been
inspired by q series of articles in a
Los Angeles newspaper attacking OFF,
cials of the Railway Mail Service and
incidentally criticising the railway
companies for the methods and the
compensation exacted by them for
carrying the mails.
Certain railway mail employees COM
planned that A. H Stephens, superin-
dentend Of the Railway Mail Service on
this division. had forced them to work
long hours without adequate compen-
sation. These complaints were pub
lished and provoked criticism Of the
railroad company
