INFANTILE PLAGUE

Mt. Pleasant, July 20 People living
in the neighborhood of the C. W. Ogg
farm, seven miles north of the city,
have been much exercised over q
rumor which has been very generally
circulated to the effect that II year old
Ellis Ogg, who passed away recently,
was a victim of the dread infantile
paralysis. The little fellow was taken
suddenly sick and in the opinion of the
attending physicians, also of the con.
sulting physician, DR.. Brockman Of Of
tumwa, he was suffering from plain
case of lock jaw DR.. ]. w. Laird, one
Of the attending physicians, when seen
today said that the rumor had no foun-
dalton, The disease was plainly lock-
jaw, also there was no sign of, any
cause, DR.. Laird signed the certificate
for the state and stated that the cause
of death as being tetanus. Henry coun-
ty people can therefore rest assured
that as far as is known there Is not a
single case Of infantile paralysis or
anything bordering on that disease
throughout the whole county.

Favor Honest Advertising.

The Advertiser is pleased to see that
there is growing sentimentin favor
of honest advertising. The Charleston
delegation has been requested by the
business organizations of that city to
support bill that will be introduced
to prohibit fraudulent and deceptive
advertisements. If manufacturers are
not allowed to misrepresent the con-
tents of package, why should a retail
merchant be allowed to misrepresent
the quality or value of merchandise in
order to increase the sale? Such de-
ceptive advertisements place an honest
merchant at great disadvantage, to
say nothing of the injusticed practiced
upon the consumer.

Law Should be Changed.

The lid was put on when the prohi-
ton law went into effect last Saturday
but it can be screwed down and be
made to fit tighter by changing the
law so all violators must be sent to the
chaingang, instead of allowing an
alternative of fine. If the people Of
South Carolina really want prohibition
they can have it. But it can not be
had in some communities as long as the
men who violate the law are allowed
to pay their way out. Why, bless
your life, they can make the amount of
the fine in one Gay. What do they care
for such a sentence? Paying fine is
nothing more than paying license.
Let's put stripes on the men who
openly and persistently defy the law.

German Ingenuity Again.

When it comes to ingenuity and OBJ
tanning practical results through science
the Germans seem to have no peers.
The statement has been recently made
that for the past six months not a
pound of American cottony has been
used in Germany for making explosives.
Their scientists have gone into the
German forests and found pulp that
has supplanted cotton in making pow
der. 1t is said that even if American
cotton could he obtained now it would
not be used and that after the close OF
the war this pulp will be used instead
of cotton, as it is much cheaper.
This illustrates the resourcefulness Of
the German people. They can not be
vanquished. Deprive them of one es.
sential or seeming necessity and
through the exercise of their wonder
full ingenuity they VII discover sub
stitute that is probably more salts
factory.
However, we believe the god of war
is against them and that the Germans,
though great people in many respects,
will yet be made to bite the dust. Their
civilization was not built upon an eter-
