SITUATION WELL IN HAND.

DIR. S. G. Sarratt has just returned
from the Isle of Palms, Charleston,
where he went to represent the city of
Union in the conference on Infantile
Paralysis. DR.. Sarratt says that while
there are some sixty or seventy cases
of the disease in the State, it is not
anticipated that it will become cpl
demic. There is no case in our county
or city now. Should the situation
with regard to the disease become
alarming, more drastic measures will
pc used by the health authorities. 1t
is proposed that the city schools be
allowed to open on Sept 18, but the
citizens are urged not to allow the
younger children to be exposed unnec-
essarily.
The health department is very anx-
ious to have all the premises cleaned
up thoroughly. All weeds and trash
collected will be hauled off promptly
if you will notify the health officer.
Nothing presents disease more effec-
lively than having everything about
the home clean.

Sam promised to come down from

In answer to letters and telegrams
he says that he is too busy. Tut
other congressman have found time
to come home. Is Sam the only one
of the lot who is busy? He wired
friend in Union that he was "busy,"
and that same day he played third
base for the Democrats in a game of
ball with Republicans. They say he
made pretty good third baseman,

come out in the open on this matter.
Sam replies that he is out of State
politics now. Why is he out? Has his
head swelled so badly that he feels
bigger than his State and his friends?
He found it easy to say where he stood
when Blease was governor and Sam
wanted pardons for clients. He found
it easy to say where he stood when
he wanted the votes of Blease men in
the first primary when he first ran
for congress. He found it easy to
promise to desert Blease in exchange
for the support of daily newspaper

tell where he stands now? Is he try:

1916. The result of the comparison IS
enough to silence the charge so often
made that prohibition does not pro-
hibit. 1t is prohibiting more than
three-fourths, and that is more than
most laws do. Much of the good re-
suit attained, however, is owing to
the sustained and faithful efforts of
Mayor Wharton, the city council and
the police force. They have been on
the job and they should receive the:
endorsement of every good citizen in
the community. 1t is a hard battle
they are waging and they deserve the
