SMALLPOX CAUSED TWO DEATHS

Columbia, Dec. 31.-The results of
the campaign carried on by the State
board of health against smallpox by
vaccination are gratifying to health
officials. Only 328 cases were report
ed to the office between January / and
November / of this year. which is a
large decrease over 1914.
There was a sharp outbreak in
Charleston In March, April and May,
with q recrudescence in July, but the
epidemic was stopped ut 142 cases by
the efficient work Of special agents
of the State and city boards Of health.
Other outbreaks were reported in
Richland, Calhoun and Bamberg
counties, but in each instance the
ravages were stopped by prompt ac-
ton. There were only two deaths
from smallpox reported In the State.
I'VE are glad to say" James A.
Hayne. M. d.. State health officer,
says in his report, "'that it has cost
the State less this year than it has
In many years and we hope to see
this cost less and less each year. We
believe, however, that we can prom
ise that for the next year or two
there will be no widespread epidemic.
There are two strains Of smallpox in
this country, one very virulent and
the other very mild. The virulent
strain has very high death rate and
1t Is against this form that We are
insisting upon complete vaccination
Of the population"
During the first nine months of
this year the board sent out 44.7O8
vaccine points at q cost Of $2,906.O2.

ANTrToxIN SAVED MANY LIVES

Columbias, Dec. 31.-The results u.
the saving Of human lives from the
free distribution Of diphtheria antitox-
in are most gratifying to health off,

smaller number Of cases Of diph-
liberia than last year. but there have
been very many cases in the State:
had 1t not been for the legislatures
generous appropriation for the dis
tribution Of diphtheria antitoxin
would not now be able to report that
there have been only 75 deaths from
diphtheria.
NO work that has been done by
the State board Of health has reach
ed as effectively the heart of the
people as this FREQ distribution OF
diphtheria antitoxin. When the
poor man sees his childs life saved
by the State and realizes that had
|it not been for this appropriation
he would have been unable to pur-
chase diphtheria antitoxin. he Ii

"Diphtheria antitoxin has truly
robbed diphtheria. once known as d
'strangler.' Of its former terrors, but
we must not forget that certain
prop6rtion of cases die even, after the
administration of the antitoxin.

Columbia, Jan. with the helm
of God and the support OF the peo-
pie this and all other laws OF our
great State shall be rigidly enforced
so long as am governor" said Gov.
Manning in New Years greeting to
the people Of South Carolina yester.
day.
The statement follows:
For the blessings of peace and
prosperity to the people OF South
Carolina throughout the year just
ended, we are profoundly. thankful.
We have had our trials and grave
problems. but in meeting and solving
these problems we have been made
stronger and better fitted to meet the
problems Of the future. South Car
olinians today, with all the true pa
triotism for their forefathers, stand
shoulder to shoulder a united people
fighting for the things that are right
and just for all the people Of our
grand old South Carolina.
-
with this spirit Of union and CO.
operation among our people we may
look to the future with optimism and
confidence. meeting any difficulties
that may be presented and conquer
ing them as only true patriotic South
tCarolinians can do.

ing the year 1915. The death Of the
dispensary system after stormy life
OF 22, years, and the enactment Of a
law prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
liquors, places a responsibility upon
our people that can not be shirked
or thrown of without grave danger.
Law is the result Of the demand Of
the people, and the people in order
that their law be properly enforced,
must stand even closer together and
continue the fight for its enforce
ment, upholding and assisting those
officers who are striving to do their
duty without fear or favor. With the
help OF God and the support Of the
people this and all other laws Of our
great State shall be rigidly enforced
so long as am governor.
Another Of our problems is that
Of education. A continuance Of the
fight for rural and common school
education in 1916 will bring to us q
great reward before the year is ended.
"In the year just ended our farm
ers learned to live at home, thus re-
ducing the cost Of production Of cot
ton. Let US not forget the hard les
son OF, 1914, but continue q system Of
raising home supplies on a broader
scale in 1916 and we will find fewer
debts and larger bank accounts in
the hands Of our farmers next De-
cember.
with a feeling of joy over the
good results already obtained in South
Carolina and confidence that the fu-,
ture holds even greater blessings in
store for us. earnestly and sincre-,
ly wish for each and every citizen Of
South Carolina a new year abundant
with peace. health, happiness and
prosperity. i.
