WAR ON THE H00KWOHM
BEGAN LAST TUESDAY

The hookworm campaign in
York county, conducted by the
South Carolina board of health,
began in Rock Hill Tuesday, and
continues until February 25.
DIR. J. I. Howell is in charge of
the campaign, which promises to
be productive of much good.
During the campaing FIVE dis
pensaries will be established in
the county, with Rock Hill as
general headquarters. During
the six weeks the campaign is on
Dr. Howell viii spend day each
week at eacn OF the dispensaries
as follows:
Tuesdays, at Rock Hill; We'd
nesdays, at Fort Mill; Thursdays.
at hickory Grove; Fridays, at
Clover; Saturdays, at Yorkville.
At each dispensary free exami-
nation and free treatment will
be given to all who apply. The
county has agreed to purchase
the medicine for-the dispensaries,
the State board of health agree
ing to make free examinations
and fill the proper prescriptions
to secure a cure.
In discussing the disease to a
reporter for the Rock Hill Herald.
DR.. Howell said in part:
Hookworm disease is caused
by small, round worm which
measures about half an inch in
length and has the thickness of
an ordinary hairpin. 1t enters
the body In a stage at which it is
invisible to the naked eye usually
through the skin, thereby pro-
ducing ground-ltch, and makes
its way to the intestine, and be-
comes full grown. The parasite
then feeds. upon the blood of the
host, causes bleeding places in
the intestine, and in all proba-
blhty has polSonS which get into
the system and may destroy the
blood Of the per son. Each hook
worm lives from 10 to Is years
alter entering the body. Outside
the body they live IN the soil.
And in turn they get into the soil
only through soil contain ination
with the bowel discharges OF d
human being. Therefore, we
have the vicious circle, from soil
to the person, and IRON person
to the soil. II the human ex-
creta were properly provided for
and disposed Of, the disease
would soon be stamped out.
The disease is found at all ages,
IN both sexes, in all classes and
in both races.
1t does not require over four
treatments, given one week
apart, to effect cure.

Oranges Going Way Up.

Reports from California of the
damage to the orange crop from
the recent freeze have already
begun to make their effect felt
and local dealers believe that
oranges will soon increase 81 to
$1.50 per box. That means that
the Indian river variety, which
is such favorite among lovers
of the luscious fruit, will sell at
wholesale at about Sd 25 per box
and the cheapest will be at least
So per box.
1t is not believed that the effect
will be felt right at once on ac-
count of the large crop Of Florida
oranges produced this season and
the fact that locally oranges are
not keeping well in the hot
weather. When the season ad-
vances and the time comes for
California oranges to come the
jump in price is due to come. In
the meantime owners of Florida
groves are patting themselves
on the back, for with their un-
usually large crops, the loss to
growers in far away California
means a rich harvest to them.

Campaign on Evangelism.

Southern Presbyterians haye
started a great campaign on
evangelism and stewardship
throughout the whole assembly.
The object is evident from the
name; first, to gather many into
the church, and second, to enlist
all that are now in the church to
ali adequate support of the
b2nehcent work of the church.
To discuss and plan methods for
attaining these objects, Presby-
terlal conferences are being held
all over the South from Virginia
to Texas, and Florida to Okla
homa. SiXty-three of these will
be held in January and early
February. For the South Caro-
lima presbytery the conference
is to be held at Greenwood on
January 3O-31.

PIhEvILlE MAN and WIFE
BURIED IN SAME GRAVE

Fort Mill people generally read
with regret of the deaths Thurs
day night of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
w. Hicks at their home in the
vicinity of Pineville. Mr.. Hicks
and family resided in Fort Mill
township up to few years ago
and was well known in this city.
The death of Mr.. Hicks Thurs
day evening at z o'clock was the
result of a full from a wagon a
few hours earlier. The death
of his wife at 7:10 resulted from
heart failure caused by the acci-
dent to her husband.
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Hicks
had loaded his wagon with wood
and started to Charlotte. He
had gone only a few hundred
yards when standard on the
wagon snapped in twain, releas-
ing the wood large portion of
which fell to the ground. Mr..
Hicks was unable to retain his

was thrown under the wheels.
The vehicle, with it's heavy load,
passed over his body and inflict-
ed injuries which he could not
survive.
Mrs. Hicks suffered a stroke
of paralysis last spring and for
some time had been unable to
leave her room. Thursday when
the mangled body of her husband
was brought to the home she
tainted. A physician was sum-
moned and stated that Mr.. Hicks
could not recover, although the
injured man regained conscious
ness long enough to explain how
the accident occurred. Mrs.
Hicks was given attention but
died without regaining consci-
BUSINESS.
T he bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hicks, who are survived by sew
eral children, were inferred Fri
day in the burial ground at Eb-
enezer church in Mecklenburg
county.

Astor's (?) Farewell Message.

A story going the rounds of
the press and bearing a Gulf
port, Miss, date line is to the
effect that the captain of the
British steamship Florentia re-
Gently picked up off Cape Verde
Islands piece OF deck chair
having scratched on it a message
from John Jacob Astor, Ameri-
can millionaire, who was one of
the 500 victims of the founder
ing of the steamship Titanic.
The piece of chair was picked up
by a sea fisherman and handed
the captain of the Florentia as
the boat was passing the island
of Teneriffe. one of the Canarles.
The piece of wood became en-
tangled in the fisherman's line
and the writing being noticed
was handed to the captain who
made out the following message
scratched in the wood with a
knife.
Love to all. Will meet YOU
in Heaven. The finder will
receive thousand dollars for
delivering this message. John
Jacob Astor."

Hopes for Harmonious Session.

Representative j. R. Halle, of
Fort Mill, has given the Colum-
bia Record his opinion that the
present session of the Legislature
will be harmonious, substan-
tiating his reasoning with the
following words: There seems
to be a reason to believe that the
thinking members of the legisla-
ture realize that the people are
in the saddle, and if the voice Of
these members is heard the work
of the session promises to be
harmonious. In the campaign
last August the people showed
their disapproval of the turmoil
and strife which marked the
proceedings of the last session
by refusing to reelect many of
those responsible for it. If
similar conditions exist this year
like results may be expected in
the elections next year for the
offending members. There is no
doubt that the conditions I have
referred to were chiefly response
BILE for the delay in announcing
the results of the primary for
State officers last year"

Prosperity Smiled on Fort Mill.

Generally speaking the last
year was one of prosperity for
Fort Mill and this Immediate
section. Within the town growth
is evidenced by the new store
houses that have gone up, the
new residences built and the old
ones remodeled, as well as the
great improvement to the streets.
The paving of Main street at a
cost of slightly more than S4. OOO
perhaps added more to the town
than any one thing. In all di-
rections in the country can be
seen better farms, better farm
houses and better stock, all of
which mean better farmers and
better crops.
The two banking institutions
of the town held their annual
meetings the last week, as did
also several mercantile corpora
tions, and declared dividends on
their capital stocks.
At the meeting of the stock
holders of the Savings Bank. the
former directors were reelected.
The semi-annual dividend of
a per cent, declared las t month.
was distributed to the stockhold-
ers, and a substantial amount
was added to the banks surplus
fluid.
The last year was also a pros
porous one for the First National
Bank. This institution is Just
two years old, but well estab-
lished, and in it's meeting the
last week an annual dividend of
8 per cent. was declared.
The mercantile firm of E. w.
klmbrell company held it's an
nual meeting on Tuesday of last
week and declared a dividend of
10 per cent. The following of
ficers were reelected for the
year 1918: w. B. Meacham.
president; w. H. Belk, vice
president; E. w. Kimbrell, secre-
tary and treasurer.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE TO
the STATE LEGISLATURE

The message Of Gov. Cole L.
Blease featured the opening ses-
sion of the South Carolina Legis-
lature Tuesday. The Governor,
according to a Columbia dispatch,
attacked the Comptroller Gel =
eral for refusing warrants for
pay of special detectives; the
cotton mill merger, terming it
the cotton mill trust" the Car
olina Public Service corporation
as the ice trust" and a Colum-
bia power company as the pow
er trust" and asked legislation
dissolving them.
Among other things, the Gov
ernor recommended the passage of
two-cent railway rate bill and
the levying of a one mill tax for
public schools, warning the leg
islators that unless this is done
he would veto all appropriations
for State colleges. He asked the
repeal of the law forbidding the
carrying of concealed weapons
and recommended a law to al
low all persons desiring to car
ry pistols to be granted 30-day
licenses, a list of such persons to
be kept by the clerks of court.
and asked the passage of law
making 1T a misdemeanor for a
newspaper reporter to misquote
a public speaker. He recon-
mended that a resolution be
passed calling for the election on
a constitutional amendment pro-
vldlng for the election of judges
by the people.
The Governors message was
several thousand words in length.
