Fan Baths For Typhoid.

sFan baths are the latest remedy
used by the Boston City hospital ply
sicians in the treatment Of typhoid fe-
yer, says the New Haven Journal.
Heretofore the ice plunge was used,
and patient whose temperature had
reached the danger point was soused
In a bathtub filed with broken ice
until his teeth ratified. This treatment
after a time was found to be too he
roic, as the shock was too severe and
pneumonia sometimes developed. Then
ice water sponge baths were substi-
tuted, but the fan baths, the doctors
declare. are just the thing. The pa
tient is sponged off with ice water
first, then a sheet that has been soak
ed in ice water is wrapped about the
body, and more ice water is sprinkled
on the sheet. The current Of an elec-
tric fan is then turned on him so that
he is chilled by the rapid evaporation
caused by the breeze Recent expert
ments have proved this measure high

rlr. Martin to Recommend.

State Superintendent of Education
Martin will ask the legislature at its
coming session to so change the
school law with regard to teachers
examinations throughout the State
as to have these examination papers
passed upon by a member of, the
State board Of education at Colum-
bia instead of by the county boards
of education. By this method Mr..
Martin hopes to entirely divorce
these examinations from politics.
"You will readily see that it is prac-
tically impossible to keep these ex-
aminations from politics" said Mr..
Martin. ''To keep this or that dis
trict solid for him in the coming elec-
ton, it is a strong temptation to a
countysuperintendent to have himself
and his board favor the daughter of
the influential man of that district.
We had no end of just such trouble
with our scholarship examinations for
the State colleges until had the law
changed in such way as to have the
papers passed upon by the college
faculties by numbers. Every time
there was an examination this office
would be flooded with complaints of
partially and favoritism. -

Birmingham Dry by Good Majority.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct. 2s.-Jeffer-
son county, in which Birmingham is the
principal city, has gone dry, after one
of the hottest campaigns in its history.
While it is impossible at this hour to
give the exact majority for prohibition,
the indications are that it will he l., 500.
The city of Birmingham gave major
ity of 32o against prohibition, but the
country districts voted dry.
The feature of the election was the
presence of thousands of women and
children at the polls. They paraded the
streets with banners, sang hymns and
pleaded with voters, and it is believed
that they played an important part in
carrying the county for prohibition. The
day was clear and cool, and the vote
cast was the largest ever recorded in
the county.

Nurse Displays Heroism.

COLUMBIA, Oct. 26.-The children
of the Rev. T. Tracey Walsh, were
saved from serious injury this after
noon by the heroic efforts of the col
ored nurse girl, Maggie Wilson. The
nurse, with her charges, was crossing
Main street, at Plain street, when an
automobile turned from Main into
Plain street at a rapid speed, and in
getting the children out of the way
the nurse was herself knocked down
and run over by the machine.
The automobile, a light runabout
was driven by E. G.. Gwaltney, of
Winnsboro, who had just come into
the city from that town, thirty miles
north of here. Mr.. Gwaltney stop
ped his machine and alighted to see
what damage had been done, but did
not tarry long. Some of the by
ISLANDERS expressed very freely their
opinion of his driving. Mr.. Gwalt-
ney went to the Columbia Hotel,
after putting his runabout in gar
age, and was there found by a po-
liceman some time later. He gave
bond for his appearance before the
recorder Tuesday morning to an
swer to the charge of violating the
city ordinance against reckless driv-
ing of an automobile.
Maggie Wilson is not seriously
hurt, the principal injury being to her
knee, but she is bruised up consider
ably. The two children, Norman and
Tracey Walsh, were not hurt, but
were badly frightened. Eye-wit-
nesses say the escape Of the children
was due to the presence of mind and
bravery Of the nurse. There was a
large crowd of Columbians and State
Fair visitors on the streets at the
time,

FLEET TO HONOR ROOSEVELT
Mississippi River Craft Will Welcome
tho President to Memphis.

Never before in the history Of Mem
phis have arrangements been made for
such an elaborate display Of water
craft as will be seen along the Missis-
sippi river front when the presidential
fleet steams into port, says the Mem
phis News-Scimitar. From practical
ly every hamlet, village and town along
the river or rivers parties are planning
to participate in the celebration with
a gayly festooned boat. Where one
town is unable to charter boat by it.
self several are going in together in or
der to become a part Of the memorable
feet. The majority Of cities north OF
Memphis will join the aotilla at st.
Louis and participate in the big river
parade which is being planned there
for Oct. 2. Many Of them will continue
the trip down the Mississippi and at
Memphis will be joined by boats from
the south
In Mississippi especially active prep
aratiSns are going forward for by far
the most spectacular and elaborate dis
play of river steamers ever undertaken
by residents of the state. There is
some talk of installing small electric
plant on board one or more Of the
boats with which to illuminate 1t at
night and add to the novelty and en-
joyment Of the event.
Among the cities which have already
made plans for charterins boats are
Cairo, ILL.,; Louisville, KY; Evansville,
Ind; ,Keokuk, Ia; Alton, ILL.,; Kansas
City, Mo-; Peoria, ILL.,; Quincy, ILL.,;
Cincinnati, o., and Little Rock and

Congressman Patterson has re-
ceived the good news from Washing.
ton that the agricultural department
will soon put experts in the second
district to make soil surveys for the
benefit of the farmers, thereby enab-
ling them to know more exactly
what fertilizing elements are lacking
in and needed by different soils.
This good work will begin in Saluda

The scarcity of exports has delayed
the commencement of the work, for
which Judge Patterson has been per
sistently striving. .-Barnwell People.
