Heavy kahn Sunday Night Delays
Work In Field.

Ia spite OF the fact that planters are
beginning to get behind with their
seeding and are wanting dry weather,
another heavy rain fell Sunday night
and Monday morning, that will keep
them out of the field for several days
ut least. The recent rains, while Of
benefit to the rice that is up, is doing
considerable damage to that which is
still in tke ground and not vet up,
and will likely cause some replanting
to be done. 1t is also permitting the

High School Pupils Preparing Play to
be Given May 16.-Pr0Ceeds TO be
Used for School REINFORCEMENT

The high school pupils are working
bard these last days, on a play they
are preparing 10 give the last week OF
school, at the Auditorium. The play
is said to be an exceptionally anus
ing one, full Of fun and laughter, with
many interesting situations, from
which the characters are eXtricated
only bv extreme skill and cunning.
The pupils who are taking part IN
the play, are devoting their best eff
forts to the work, and will doubtless
be prepared to entertain their audi
ence in q high class manner.
This play should, and doubtless
will. be patronized by the major por-
ton of our citizens, as aside from its
being given by the school children,
the proceeds are to go for improve
ments of the school buildings and
water supply. In conformity with the
regulations of the State board OF
health, it will be necessary to install
q water system and sanitary closets
for the schools, before the beginning
of the next term. And upon the re-
quest of the local director, the pupils
are preparing and will give this play
TO aid in the installation Of this sys'
tenn. Every cent received from this
play, over the actual expenses, will be
given to this cause, after which the
city council will provide for the re,
mainder OF the expense.

IMMUNITY FROM SMALLPOX.
Army Medical Officer Reports on His
Study of Vaccination.

Lieut.. Col. Charles f. Woodruff of the
Medical Corps Of the army has made a
report to the surgeon general of the army
on smallpox and vaccination. He says
that the large number of vaccinations i'm
the army, even when the lymph il perfect
ly fresh and potent. shows the extreme
difficulty of contracting vaccinia more
than twice in a lifetime. and that exceed
ingly few can have three perfect success
eS. IT appears that in other countries,
where the disease has been driven out by
the vaccination of infants, there is far
less vaccination than with us
After long study of smallpox, and after
obtaining data from Europe, as we'll as
from health officers in all parts of the
United States, Col. Woodruff forms a
number of conclusions as TO the length
of immunity conferred by vaccination. He
says that one good vaccination in in
fancy in three places on each arm, as
done in Europe generally, gives lifelong
immunity from vaccinia and smallpox.
There are no smallpox cases on Record
he says. after two undoubted vaccination
successes. one i'm infancy and one I'm
adult life, or even two in adult life at
long intervals. He declares that two
successes protect for life. according t.
his military observations for twenty
years But successes must be established
absolutely. Often cases are called sue
cessful which are not so by any means.
Immunity depends largely upon the num-
Der of insertions, whether given at one
time in infancy distributed through
life The American method of but one
insertion at a time is declared unscien-
tific and explains the large number in
whom a second trial Is successful. Col
Woodruff recommends number OF
changes in the present system Of vaccina-
ton.
