Refuses to sign School Fund Note.

Columbia, April 2. Governor Blease
refused to sign note for $50, 1000 for
for continuance of rural schools.
1t is said that the governor sent the
note to the Palmetto National bank
stating that he had no objection to
the paper, but that he would not
place his signature to it. 1t is not
known whether or not the bank will
accept the note.
Many schools in the State have
already closed and many more will
close before the end of the week if
the money is not secured, according
to school authorities. The borrowing

THE FLOOD SITUATION
is GROWING WORSE
Floors of Stores are Nearly
Two Feet Under Water at
Paducah, Ky.-ThOusands
are HOmeless-Army Ra-
tons are Being Distribu-
ted.

Paducah, KY, April 2.-The flood
situation here is growing worse hour
ly. At o'clock tonight first floors
of every wholesale house and many
retails stores were flooded. The river
rose a foot and a half today, going
to a stage of 52.2 feet, and the fore
cast is for four feet more of water.
Should this occur only five blocks
in the city will be out of water.
Lieut.. S. B. Buckner, U. S. A., and
two non-commissiond officers of the
regular army, commandeered the
steamer Rapids and every power boat
they could get and with three barges
started for Cairo. This was done in
accordance with orders from the war
department
Lieutenant Buckner said today that
relief work was very well organized
and there would be little suffering.
Small wooden buildings have been
hastily erected on the western edge
of the city and as rapidly as water
pours into new districts inhabitants
are taken to these shelters. Late to-
ay there were rations for ten thou
sand persons for ten days.
Despite conditions here, relief work
for large district will be directed
from Paducah. Relief work will be
started at Brookport and Smithland,
both reported seriously affected by
the flood. The former is cut off from
communication except by boats and
water is four feet deep in part of
Smithland.

WAS pulled off.

afternoon in public car and were

north of the city. Here the store was
searched but not the residence, the
officers were invited to do so, but de-
elined, as the man of the house was
absent.
The officers then went to the
"Chicken Farm" and with the result
above stated.

of the raid, half dozen men were

HOOKWORM FIGHT
STILL IN PROGRESS
Against HOOkwOrm
Making Good Progress
Throughout the County.
Some Schools Have Not
Had a Single Child Ex-
amined.

The campaign against hookworm
disease in this county will only last
three weeks longer. Three-fourths of
the schools in the county have not had
single pupil examined for this dis
ease. Two of the schools in the
county, Cross Keys and Sedalia, have
taken great interest in this work
and the teachers and pupils are using
every effort to have everybody in
these communities examined.
Practically every child in each
school has been examined and one
third of them were found to have the
disease and are now taking medicine
in order to get we'll. In not single
case has pupil missed day from
school as a result of treatment.
So many people have an idea that
the treatment is severe, which is not
the case.
Teachers who are not trying to stir
up interest in this work are not teach
ers-they are only figure heads.
In Porto Rico where 25O,OOO cases
years, the conditions have improved
so much on the farms that the aver
age yield in agricultural products has
increased 800 per cent.
Every farmer in this county might

have his children examined. If his

Union county has had fewer cases
examined in the first three weeks
of the campaign than any other coun-
ty, and the infection is found to be
about SO 1-3 per cent in every school
examined.
Let every progressive man and wo-
man In our country take this import
ant work in hand and use their eff
forts to have their own and theii
neighbor's children examined. This
| WORK is absolutely free.
On account of having no assist
ant in this county, it has been impos-
slble for DR.. Riser to visit many of
the schools, but in one school which
he visited two weeks ago, not a single
pupil has been examined. Six months
from now those who have not had
their children examined and treated,
will be regretting it and wishing for
free treatment, which will not be
given after the time is up.
Think it over seriously, visit the
office nearest you, help with this
work. Offices are open at the fol-
lowing places: Santuc, every Tues
day; Cross Keys at Wilburn's store,
every Wednesday; Jonesville every
Thursday; Lockhart every Friday and

Told of Celebrities.

Byron worked fast. He once told publisher that he was like 8 tiger, and if he missed his first spring went ''grumbling back to his lair." Many of his works were written at fever heat when the first spring did not miss. The Corsair occupied ten days, and two rainy days at Ouchy were sufficient to produce the Prisoner of Chiffon. The Bride of Ahydos, though revised afterward, was at first the work of only four nights, and most of his poems, in fact were iY1npr romp&us.
 Bill Nye was once introduced te Wagner. the composer. In Then and Now Dean Hale relates: "Nye, the American humorist, brilliant as the best, whose comedy never fails to charm, and whose tragic death I shall never cease to mourn. told me that when he met Wagner he said to him, Your music is beyond my comprehen- sion, but I always feel sure when hear it that it is really much better than it sounds.

She has h1nted more than once that she would soon make it her permanent abode. She is keenly interested in the conserva- torium of the University of Melbourne and has lectured to its students.

DEPUTY REVENUE COLLECTOR.
Examination Will be Held in New London on August 16-Appo ontmen nts in New London and WiIIimantic.
(Special flo The BulIetin.l ]

Washington, July 21-The president of the civil service commission has advised the members of congress from Connecticut that examinations will be held at Bridgeport. Hartford, New Haven, New London Stamford and Waterbury, on August 16, 1913 to fill positions as deputy collectors of in ternal revenue collectors in the dis tricts of Connecticut.
 The commissioner of internal rev. enue has also written to the members and advised them to give as much publicity to the examinations for dep uty collectors as is possible in view of the fact that the commissions of the present deputy collectors expire with the expiration of the commission of the collector in charge, and it is pos sible that the new collector may not elect to reappoint the old deputies.
 The commissioner calls attention to the fact that virtually all of the ap- pointments in the internal revenue service are made for the eligible lists of the civil service commission.
 Deputy collectors are to be appoint ed in the following cities: Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, New London. Stamford, Waterbury, Willimantic and Newport, R. l., and Providence, R.
