HOOK WORM STATISTICS
MILL TOWNS ARE NOT FOCI OF
DISEASE.
Percentage Of Infection is Highest on
Farms, According to State Health
Officers Report

J. LaBruce Ward, Il. D., director
of rural sanitation for the State, has
given out some interesting statistics
on the hookworm disease in South
Carolina. He is assisted by four men
-Drs. L. A. Riser, F. NJ. Routh, ]. T.
Howell and F. D. Rodgers-who trav-
ell throughout the State, examining
all those who take the matter serious
ly enough to submit to an examina-
ton. The hookworm disease is more
prevalent in the rural districts than
in the cities or mill towns. and 1t is
to the people who live out in the
country where there is no sanitation
law that these five men in particular
are rendering an invaluable service.
The more detailed figures Of the cases
treated show that the percentage OF
the hookworm disease Is In proper
tion to the degree Of sanitation, there
being six classes OF sanitation, arbi-
trarily selected. Where the santa
tion is technically perfect, the pres
ence Of the hookworm is negligible,
but the percentage increases until in
the places where there is no santa
tion in amounts to about go per cent.
of the children between the ages OF
6 and Is, or the school age.
In the quarter that ended Septem-
Der 80 there were 1885 cases mi
eroscopically examined by the four
field men and 1850 cases examined
in the laboratory, and it was found
that about 81 per cent. were infected.
These cases are treated with thymol
or beta-naphthol once week, and
The average treatment lasts for four
weeks. Other diseases caused by par
asites were also discovered and q
treatment was prescribed for each OF
these.
Where there Is heat, moisture and
shade, the hookworm disease Is US
aally found to be- very prevalent, and
contrary to what is generally thought,
the percentage is less in mill town
than in the rural district whence the
people came. A person, therefore,
who looks pale is not necessarily in
fected nor Is one with ruddy COM
plexion immune; for this reason all
examinations are carried on under
the microscope.
Out of the A counties in the State,
SO OF them have appropriated funds
for the carrying on Of this most i'm
portant work. Though it was frown-
ed upon at first as medical caprice,
it is now a matter that is given a
great deal Of sober AZ; earnest
thought.

While Speeding Around Track Young

al Collision.

Benjamin Huger Hayward, Jr., of
Rion, formerly an athletic star at the
University of South Carolina. died in
a Columbia hospital Thursday night
Of surgical shock, from injuries COM
prising double compound fractures
Of the right leg and left forearm,
with contusions Of tho right knee,
which he sustained in collision be-
tween his motorcycle alb road

.:ne. Amputation was perforce re-
sorted to after the accident, but the
injuries received were too extensive
and death resulted from surgical
shock at 1880 o'clock Wednesday
night, about nine hours after the COL
lision between the motorcycle and
the road scraper.
His fatal mishap occurred at about
2:40 O'Clock. Glenn, riding an E1-
celsior, had circled the track several
times, when Hayward went out to
tune up on the same Indian za-
chine with which Glenn made the
record time for the Columbia track
last Fourth of July. Hayward was
about a quarter OF a mile behind
Glenn, when he started in to lap him.
As the two riders turned into the
back stretch they were confronted
by road scraper. Glenn cleared 1t
by inches, but Hayward, who was
Just about to pass him, and there
fore was higher up on the track,

iron spokes bent. The front forks
Of Heyward's motorcycle were shear
ed of, and magnetic and the front
cylinder were broken and the rear

Preston Metts, the young white
man who was wounded during a fight
with q negro near his home at Dor
ange Sunday night, told reporter
for The News and Courier Wednes-
day at the Roper Hospital, Charles
ton, the details Of the shooting. Mr.
Metts is in q serious condition, but
his recovery is expected, and when
questioned he said he was confident
he would be up and about soon.
He was very weak, and it was only
with great difficulty that he was able
to speak. Sometimes he took as long
as a minute to pick up the broken
thread Of the conversation. He spoke
slowly, and answered what questions
he could by nodding his head. He
seemed to be suffering a great deal.
At his bedside was his father. Ran
som I. Metts, who came down from
Dorange when brother who brought
the wounded man to Charleston re-
turned Tuesday morning.
Because Of his condition he was
not pressed for facts regarding the
shooting, and hence told the tale as
briefly as possible. II had just got

cursing him for everything. / spoke
to the negro, and both the boy and
myself started toward our home the
negro going ahead. Further down
the road the negro kept cursing the
boy, and when he refused to stop q
few words followed, and struck him
several times with my bare fist.
"The negro didn't like it and we
mixed it up. The boy helped me. II
was dark. I heard pistol shot tr'
ed, and I called to the boy If he had
pistol, and he said no. Then
heard another shot, and in q few
-econds I felt pains in my stomach
hollered that I was shot and the
boy came to me. The negro got ava,
through q cotton patch"
His father then told OF his son be-
ing taken to Reevesville. and from
there to Charleston. According tt
the elder Mr.. Metts, the negro wa:
raised in that vicinity, but only re-
Gently returned from Florida, and
that he has not yet been arrested.
Mr.. Nets wound is in the abdo

PRESIDENT SPEAKS PLAINLY OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Wants MORAL AICTOBY
Although Making no Specific Refer
ence to Mexico His Meaning To-
wards That Country Was Evident
Outlines Foreign Policy Of the
Tinted States
United States.

While avoiding any mention speci'
fcally Of Mexico or any European In.
fuence connected with the Mexican
situation President Woodrow Wilson
Monday delivered a speech at Mo-
bile apparently freighted with signi-
fcance which served to point with
further directness the policy Of the
United States, not only toward Mex
leo, but toward all Central and South
American republics.
Mr.. Wilson spoke before the South
ern Commercial Congress and the big
audience which heard him cheered
him frequently. The President smil-
ingly took his hearers into his conf
dence when he explained he must
speak with moderation and without
indiscretion". His speech can be
read in another column.
A score Of South American and
Latin-American diplomats sat just
behind the President while he spoke
and many Of his remarks were ad-
dressed In conversational tones to
them. There were those in the au-
dience who thought the President
might take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity Afforded by his speech to say
something regarding the Mexican
crisis. Mr.. Wilson, however, spoke
only In general terms, but many Of
his sentences were pointed with a
meaning so clear as to leave little
doubt of their intent.
"Naterial interests"-a phrase
much in use internationally Of late in
characterizing the attitude Of foreign
nations toward Nexico-frequently
was e1ployed by the President. He
declared the American republic long
had suffered from the hard bargains
forced upon them by concessionaries
seeking material interests" in the
countries affected. The President de-
clared that through motives Of
mortality and not expediency" the
United States desired to help the Lat
in-American republics to "an emanci-
patton from the subordination which
has been inevitable to foreign enter
prise"
The Presidents speech was utter
ed with a confidence which bespoke
the dominant part the United States
expects to play in the future Of the
American republics. "The United
States will never again seek to obtain
one additional foot Of territory by
conquest" he declared amid ap-
plause.
Mr.. Wilson spent six busy hours
in Mobile. He arrived early in the
morning and was taken Jointly In
hand by the members Of the South
ern Commercial Congress and citi-
zens Of the city. He was breakfast
ed, driven about the city in automo-
biies. was given a sightseeing e1pe-
dition in the harbor and started back
to Washington with cheers ringing
about his special train. The Presi-
dent was in a rush from the moment
he reached the city until he left, and
If any dispatches OF State reached
him, they were deferred until he
reached the seclusion Of his train.

Charles Karglader, farmer living
near Orionville, Mimi, reported the
supposed theft Of five large working
horses from a pasture. Notices were
published in the local papers Of the

no information as to their where

Four days later Karslader notified
the sheriff Of the county to drop his

they were coming out through an
opening of a straw shed, which had
collapsed after tho animals sought
shelter therein. They were eating
their way out.
