Some Facts About HookwOrm.

The prevalence Of this disease in
the southern states was discovered by
DR.. Stiles in 1902. Work for the
eradication was first begun in 1910,
and is now being carried on through
out the South. Over 100000 pesons
have been treated; $4,000 having been
treated in South Carolina.
The work has been carried on in
every county except Charleston, Ker-
shaw and Saluda. Of all persons ex-
amined microscopically, over 80 per
cent. were infected; of children, liy-
ing in rural districts, over 46 per cent.
we're infected. In fully half Of these
ceases the infected persons appeared
healthy. The disease is not hard to
cure, but this requires several doses
of medicine. The youngest person
treated was one year of age; the old
est was "a. Wherever soil pollution is
practiced, the disease is certain to
prevail
Will these facts suffice to make cur
people do their utmost to make their,
premises sanitary?

At Close Quarters.

Capt Johnson's second knowledge
of the proximity of vessel was when
he saw faint light four points to
starboard and about $40 feet away, he
said. He believed the other vessel
was going in the opposite direction
to him Oh parellel line, but moment
later the ship came out of the fog al
most at right angles and struck the
Monroe on the starboard side, aft Of
the pilot house.
After he discovered the proximity Of
the Nantucket Capt. Johnson said he
signalled full steam ahead and turned
his vessel to port il the hope Of re-
ceiving only a glancing blow as he
realized a collision could not be avoid
ed Capt. Johnson said thelN was a
lapse of only two minutes between the
time he heard the Nantucket's first
whistle and the collision.
Capt. Johnson detailed the duties OF
each member of the crew from the
first officer down to the steward. At
the time Of the collision he had had
no sleep for 19 hours. He said he
could have gone to sleep before the
Monroe left Norfolk for New York,
but did not think it necessary. A
number Of time, he testified, he had

Tried by the Wireless.

Questioned as to what action he took
to find out through the wireless opera
tor the proximity OF other vessels,
Capt. Johnson said he had instructed
the operator to ascertain the location
OF the steamer Hamilton, which he
knew was coming down the coast.
Tais vessel was located near the Del
aware Capes. The Nantucket must
have been between the Hamilton and
the Monroe, Capt. Johnson said, but
the operator Of the Nantucket did not
make his presence known.
Capt. Johnson was asked his view
on the efficiency Of the wireless in To-
eating vessels in fogs and said it was
great help. He added, however, that

Master of Ill-Fated Vessel Testifies at
Trial Of Capt. Berry.-Had Not
Slept in 10 Hours.

Philadelphia, Feb. 11.-Capt. OSmyn
Berry, commander Of the steamship
Nantucket, charged with negligence in
the recent collision with the steam
ship Monroe off the Virginia coast, in
which Al lives were lost, today listen
ed to Capt Edward E. Johnson, Of the
sunken Monroe, give his version OF
that disaster before the local United
States inspectors of steam vessels,
who will determine who was respon-
sible for the accident. Capt. Johnson
was on the stand all day.
AS in the Titanic disaster, it is ex-
pected mat the inquiry will result in
certain charges being made with rela-
ton to the navigation of vessels, at
least in the. coastwise trade. While
primarily Capt Berry is on trial, the
board of inspectors has instructions
from the department of commerce to
make a thorough inquiry into every
phase of the collision with the view
O: 5he enactment of Federal laws to
assist in preventing a recurrence Of
similar disasters.
Capt. Berry when confronted today
by the charges brought by the gov !
ernment steamboat inspectors at Nor
folk, pleaded not guilty He is charg-
ed win failing TO reduce the speed of
his ship to avoid the collision; failing
to ascertain whether the wireless op-
orator was on duty a11 with being
careless in not ascertaining through
the wireless operator whether any
Other vessels were close by in the
fog.
Compass Untrue.
IOne of the most important points
brought out in the examination of
Capt. Johnson, who was the first wit
ness, was that ne navigated the Mon
roe with sterring compass that de-
waited as much as two degrees from
the standard magnet compass. He said
the instrument was sufficiently true
to run the ship, and that it was the
custom of masters in coastwise trade
to use such compasses. His steering
compass, Capt Johnson testified, had
never been adjusted in the one year
he was master of the Monroe.
The Monroe's captain told the story
of the collision, and was exhaustively
examined by the steamboat inspec-
tors. He said the night of the COLI
sion was alternately clear and foggy.
The collision occurred during a fog.
I The first knowledge he had that the
Nantucket was near him was when
he heard whistle three points on the
starboard bow. He was running at
half speed at the time and stopped MS
engine to locate the other ship, and
blew his whistle twice to let tee vessel
know he was sterling to port He
judged the whistle was about 375 feet
away.

CANDIDATE FOR A SECOND TERN
Representative {. ". Gsdwin Would Serve
Again In The State Legislature.

Z. W. Goodwin Of Richwoods town
ship asks the democratic voters of
Sharp county for second term in
the lower house Of the general as
sembly. During his first term Of
service as lawn aker Mr. Goodwin
did not waste the time of the legis-
lature in much speech-making and
probably was not the author Of a
single bill, which was in keeping
with the promise made the people
before the election that he wonld
introduce bills only at their petition,
this promise being made on the
theory that the state Is already
burdened with laws, many Of which
no attempt is made to enforce.
But Representative Goodwin did
some good voting, II you will
examine the records. So far as we
know none Of his positions on public
questions have been seriously
criticised, More than this, he was
always at his post Of duty
thoroughly informing himself on all
matters as they arose, thereby
qualifying himself to vote intelli.
