Lots Of Typhoid Fever.

Typhoid fever seems to be raging in
certain portions of the county. Prac-
tically the whole family of Mr.. George
Rawl who resides about eight miles
above Lexington are seriously i'll at
this time. The illness of Mr.. RaWl
is peculiarly unfortunate considering
the fact that he is just recovering
from an accident suffered by him sew
eral weeks ago while operating saw
mill in which his left hand was serious
ly wounded and has hardly healed.
In the family of Mr.. and Mre. Henry
Oxner, living in the vicinity of St.
Johns, two are down, a young man of
about 1S years Of age and a daughter
of about II, both are said to be very
i'll. Miss Emmie James, a trained
nurse of Columbia, was rushed to
their bedside Saturday.
There are said to be many other
cases of typhoid fever in the county
and the use of typhoid vaccine is being
urged by the doctors as a preventive.

Big Picnic Tomorrow.

One of the largest, if not the largest,
Sunday school picnic ever held in Lex
ington county will be held in front of
the residence of the Rev. J. A. Cromer
tomorrow.
The picnic is known as the ''Zions
Psstorate Picnic," and embraces the
large congregations of five churches,
viz:' Zion, st. Peters, Emanuels, Pill
grim and Mt. Herman. This is the
third annual picnic of these five
churches, and if good weather pre-
walls, there is no doubt that an i'm
mense crowd of people will gather for
this occasion as delightful program
together with refreshments will be
served.

LEXINGTON, S. G. WEDNESDAY, JULY 80, 1913
Temperance Picnic.

Under the auspices of the Woman 9
Christian Temperance Union the an
nual temperance picnic was held at
Chaplin last Thursday at the Metho-
dist church. A large crowd from the
neighboring towns and county were
present in addition to those of the
immediate vicinity.
The devotional exercises began at
1Os30 o'clock. Rev. @. W. Burgess
read the 146th Psalm followed by
prayer by Rev, W. J. Roof. The ex-
ercises opened with elaborate exercises
in every respect by the Loyal Temper
ance legion. The young people of the
local Y. P. B., led by Mrs. Chas. P.
Robinson, sang a number of temper
ance songs.
Berly Koon, of Irmo, Rev. P. D.
Risinger, of Lexington, and DIR. A.
Brunson, of St. Matthews, made
speeches in the morning and the facts
presented by these speakers were very
clear and convincing and the people
were greatly enthused and helred.
At one o'clock the meeting adjourn
ed and sumptuons dinner was served
in the church yard by the citizens of
Chaplin to their friends and visitors.
In the afternoon Col. Asbill, of Lees
vile and J. E. Rushton. of Lexington,
made speeches.
In the evening the medal contests
were held. The contest program was
replete and the orators showed that
they had been carefully trained.
Albert Summer won the oratorical
medal and Miss Martha Wessinger
the musical medal. The judges made
honorable mention of Miss Esther
Eargle and Cecil Frick. Mrs. Mary
Harris Armor, of Georgia, addressed
the audience on this subject.

Child Seriously Injured.

The seven-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. "Bub'' Hite, who lives about
three and one.half miles south of Lex
ington, met with serious and probab-
ly fatal accident Friday afternoon at
about two o'clock.
The little boy, it seems, was carry
ing fodder from the barn to the stable
with the he orse following him nibbling
at the blades. A few hands of fodder
we're dropped by the child and as he
turned to pick them up the horse sud-
denly raised his heels striking the
child on the left side of the head
crushing three or four inches of his
skull into the brain.
DR.. G. Frank Roberts of this place
was Immediately summoned and did
what surgical work could be done
under the circumstances and then sent
the child to Columbia where he was
placed in Knowlton's Hospital. AL
though the injury is a serious one, it
is thought that the child has a fight
ing chance for recovery.
A peculiar coincidence with the acci-
dent is the fact that the horse which
kicked the child on Friday ran away
with the father of the child in Colum-
bia several months ago and in this ac-
cident the fathers skull was also
crushed and for several weeks the
man fingered between life and death.
The same animal injured one of the
members Of the family q few months
ago but not so seriously.
The last report from the child is
to the effect that he is getting along as
we'll as could be expected considering
the seriousness of his injuries.

THE CONTROL or HOG CHOLERA
Doxology.
Benediction

Every farmer in Oklahoma is or
should be, interested in the prevention
of hog cholera. No other class of
livestock is so generally profitable, or
can be developed so quickly for mar
ket. For this reason every farm
should be stocked with a few hogs
enough at least to furnish the neces,
sary supply of meat and lard. The
interest in preventing hog cholera is
not confined to farms having large
herds, but is an important question
with all farmers who raise this class
of livestock.
Hog cholera is a disease easily
spread from any infected farm Water
courses probably carry the disease to
greater extent than any other ag-
ency. Hogs usually have FREQ ac-
cess to streams of water. and an in
fected farm is an active source of
danger to all farms for several miles
below. The precaution of fencing
hogs away from running water, when
cholera is present on farms at any
point above, often prevents loss.
The carcasses of hogs thai have died
of cholera should be burned. Fire Is
the best destroyer of infection. When
handled in this way there can he no
chance that infection can be carried
to neighboring farms by dogs, crows
or buzzards, or that the carcass will
infect streams and endangcr stock OF
other farms in this manner. Probably
one-half of the loss now occasioned by
cholera could be prevented il the hogs
where the disease first appears were
kept we'll isolated, the care given over
to one man, and neighboring farmers
warned against the disease.
Durant weekly news. (Durant, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 190?-1944, 1913-05-30

There are a great many so-called
hog cholera cures, but so far none OF
these has withstood experimental
tests. Neither are any oy these breeds
OF hogs with which the Oklahoma
farmer is familiar immune to cholera.
II these facts are kept in mind, there
would probably be quicker action in
many cases when cholera is suspected.
One often hears the statement that the
mule-footed hog or the "razorback," or
some other type or kind OF hog is
either immune or is very resistant to
cholera. The various experiment sta
tions have at different times expert
mented with all kinds Of hogs, and
none has been fouul immune to chol-
era. Ordinarily hogs do not differ
from other species OF animals In their
resistance of disease. When they are
kept under sanitary conditions, given
a variety Of feed and plenty of pure
water, their general good health is
somewhat of protection against dis
ease. On the contrary, when hogs are
generally unthrifty. they become much
more susceptible to disease.
II farmers would cooperate actively
in the matter of controlling hog chol-
era more often than otherwise the
disease could be confined to the farms
where it first appears. If cholera is to
be kept in check It will have to be
through the cooperation and prompt
action OF the farmers themselves.
The observance of our present laws
with referance to burning carcasses
of hogs, the isolation of infected herds,
and the prompt administration of vac
cine, not only to the well hogs on in
fected premises, but to all hogs on sur
rounding farms, win do much toward
controlling any outbreak of cholera.
Vaccination is not cure for chol-
era, but will prevent it. However,
without the use of any medical treat
ment or vaccination much Of the pres
ent loss can be avoid by improving
sanitary conditions on the farms and
by observing well known sanitary reg
ulatlons with referanct. to contagious
and infectious diseases.-L L. Lewis,
