ESTABLISH A QUARANTINE
ORDER IS ISSUED AGAINST NEW
BERRY By LAURENS
Action Gives Newberry Quite Shock
Quarantine Of the Iaurens Board
Was Entirely Unexpected.

Was Entirely Unexpected.
The board Of health of Laurens
Sunday passed quarantine order
against passenger traffic from New
berry and Newberry County. This step
was taken after an investigation had
been made of the snail pox situation
in the neighboring town by two mem
bers Of the health board, one of whom
is physician.
While the situation is said to be
much improved in the city Of New
berry, it is claimed that no less than
four hundred cases can be found In
the county. There is only one case at
Laurens, says the news report, SO far
as is known, and the patient has been
isolated. The city and county officers
have the matter of handling the quar-
antine regulation in hand and the or
der will be strictly observed.
A dispatch from Newberry to
The News and Courier says the fact
that Laurens had quarantined against
Newberry created some surprise.
There are mum Der of cases Of small
pox in Newberry and in the county,
as there are all over South Carolina,
but there is no epidemic Of the dis
ease and all cases in the city are un-
der quarantine. Nothing has been
published about it because 1t is gen.
orally understood that the disease is
scattered all over the State.
To be exact, Health Officer Adams
says that there are at present only
fourteen cases in Newberry, and that
several Of these are in one family, and
and all OF the city limits. All the
cases are among negroes, except 3.
Since the 18th of January, 1918. there
have been sixty-nine cases in Newber-
ry and no deaths. The people are be-
ing yaccinated and the trustees have
been rigidly enforcing the rule as to
school children and none are admitted
10 the public schools who cannot give
evidence of successful vaccination.
The general opinion at Newberry Is
that Laurens wanted to keep carni-
val company from that place this
week and that the quarantine was put
on as an excuse to keep the shows
away. The fourteen cases are conval-
escent and will be discharged from
quarantine this week. There are a
Of cases in the county, but
just to what extent the disease pre-
walls it is impossible to ascertain. In
the township in which Prosperity is
located it was stated some time ago
that school election had been called
off on account Of the prevalence Of
smallpox. The county superintendent
OF education states that about rs
per cent Of the school children had
been vaccinated.

VICTIM OF ODD ACCIDENT.
Sumter Oyerseer Killed While HuHd-

J. D. Norris, an overseer on Mr.. ).

deplorable accident. He was stretching

I felt that it was rather unfair 20

New York, July 31.-Facirg the

WAR WILL HAVE NO Eff
Feet IN ALEXANDRIA

That the threatened worldwide
war and the consequent tight
ming of the money market in.
the United States will have no
effect in Alexandria was the
unanimous opinion OF people
we'll versed with the financial
affairs of the community today.
While there may be some con-
siderable withdrawal Of funds
now on deposit with the banks
for the purpose of buying
bonds and stocks at the low
prices at which they are now
selling it will not cause any
noticeable effect upon the To-
cal money market.
1t is generally conceded that
things in Alexandria are On an
unusually sound basis. There
have been no signs Of over de-
velopment and all of the busi-
ness concerns Of the city have
been very copservative during
past year in not mourning en-
penditures beyond those abso-
!utely necessary. The affairs of
the few weak companies which
have been placed in the hands
of receivers have been practi-
cally settled up without loss to
anyone in Alexandria.
Few cities in the country can
wait with such comp,acency the
commencement of j war that
will shake the world or fnan-
cial situation at home that may
present some wide spread diff
culties as can Alexandria.
