VIC puOAASs
Influenza, commonly called la
grippe, is also rarer. Epidemics
of all these diseases are far less
common than in the North, ap-
parently being held in abeyance
by the favorable climatic con-
ditions. No better proof of this
could be cited than the wide
epidemic of influenza and pneu-
monia which swept the country
during the past winter. Every
where these infections were re-
ported as unusually virulent and
attended with unprecedented
mortality. but south of the Ohio
River their severity was much
less pronounced and the actual
number of cases reported not
nearly SO great.
E! Practically all of the infec-
tious diseases indigenous to the
South have now been conquered
and yellow fever, malaria. den
que and hookworm have to a
great extent been robbed of
their terrors. This is because
the essential facts concerning
the transmission of these dis
eases are thoroughly established
and our Southern communities
have adopted simple and effec-
tive measures for their control.
The diseases which are more
prevalent in the North. e. g.,
pneumonia, influenza. and the
acute infections of childhood
continue there with almost
unabated sway because thei
knowledge concerning their
dissemination is incom
plete and their methods
of their prevention less
satisfactory. The figures relat-
ing to the presence of the in
Ifections mentioned will alto
gether bear out this statement.
There has not been a case of
yellow fever in the South since
the infection was eradicated II
Years ago under the leadership
of the Public Health Service and
with our knowledge of it's dis
semination through the medium
of the Stegomyia mosquito, an
insect which is finding it's habi-
tat more and more restricted,
there is not the slightest danger
of its spread, should by any
chance an infected person hap
pen to pass through one of the
efficient quarantine stations.
The disease, as far as the South
is concerned, is matter of his
tory and as factor in present
day problems has been relegated
by sanitation to the realm of re-
mote possibility. Similarly, dem
que, disease also transmitted
by a species of mosquito, has
almost entirely disappeared.
In going over the records for
the past 10 years | was unable
to fd a single instance of an
epidemic of this disease in any
Southern State, few isolated
cases occurring only during that
period. All through the South
there are physicians who have
been engaged in active practice
for dozen to fifteen years who
have never seen a single case Of
either yellow fever or dengue
and who probably never will.
Malaria is rapidly being ex-
terminated and there are sec
tions where it is no more pre-.
valent that in many districts in
the West and North. In the
early days of Ohio. Illinois and
even of many Eastern States.

Lowery Plantation Near
Plains Is Beautiful Sight

Everybody in this section has heard
of the Lowery farm near Plains, but
to appreciate what it really is, you
must see it. In passing this way, two
representatives of The Times-Re,
ccrder stopped by for few minutes,
and Mr.. Lowery kindly showed them
through his plantation.
To begin with, the Lowery planta>
ton is as level as prairie, clear of
stumps and thoroughly drained. Mr..
Lowery moved to this plantation in
April, 1912, and since his residence
there has built six large and roomy
barns, all of which he uses as storage
rooms, built different from the other
and used for different purposes.
The large barn, known os his gen.
eral utility barn, is a building lis feet
by 24S feet, three stories. The work.
manship was all superintendent in this
building by Mr.. Lowery, as we'll as
all the other buildings he has put up.
All the lumber was dressed and
brought from his Terrell county plan
tation. This barn alone cost Mr..
Lowery over 100000.
Just looking through this utility
arm you will be wonderfully amazed
at the oats and hay stored in same.
You would not think HARDLY that
much grain was in Sumter county, but
besides this commodius barn, he has
other barns that are in proportion tt
the size filled up as we'll In wet
deatber or disagreeabale weather, Mr.
Lowery always has plenty Of worl
going on in this utility barn for hi
labor.

EARL KITCHENER RAISED
CREATE VOLUNTEER ARMY
Continued from Page L.

gotlai;uns or the utmost Importance
We're entrusted to him and carried out
with Invariable success. AS an intel
ligence officer, Kitchener accompan
led Sir Herbert Stewards desert col
umn en- that heroic but disastrous en-
terpr-se known as the Gordon Relief
eA peditiOn-the relief of General Cor
don from Khartum where he had been
catansled during the evacuation of the
Sudan. Kitchener deeply took to
heart the lessons of this fiasco, with
It's failure of transport and intelli-
gence departments, and avoided these
troubles in the expedition which he
himself led some years later. In the
meantime Kitchener was employed in
innumerable fights and raids against
the dervishes or Mahdista of South
ern Egypt. In 1886 he became gov
ernor of the Red Sea territories and
set in motion series of raids on the
notorious Osman Digna, the dervish
leader. In one of these raids Kitch-
ener's men were flanked and put to
fight, during which he received a bull
let which broke his jaw.
By this time much was heard In
England Of Kitchener's work in
Egypt, and when he returned there
for short rest he was received with
honor and nominated aide-de-camp to
Queen Victoria. With his health re-
cruited, he went back to Egypt, where
on the resignation of Sir Francis Gren-
tell, he was appointed Sirdar (com-
riander) of the Egyptian army. His
really great career dates from that
time.
The Kitchener campaign that ended
with the recapture of Khartum was
considered by military experts as per-
fectly organized and faultlessly con-

was said to be an army without a
stomach, heart of backbone" but
Kitchener worked over these helpless
reeds of broken natives and made OF
them some of the finest of black bat
talions.
The fight at Obdurman, September
., 1898, just across the Nile from
Khartum, was the greatest battle OF
Kitchener's time in Egypt. Osman
Digna faced him with $4,000 Mahdists,
while he had but 10000 men. When
the battle was over, 1000 Mahdists
had been killed outright, 10000 wound
Ell and 1000 taken prisoners, while the
English and Egyptian loss altogether

With the capture of Khartum, CAPT

establishment of British possession of
these upper reaches of the Nile, Kitch'

Mr.. Lowery has finished harvesting

acres in oats this spring. He is now
busy blowing them in, and will plant

field. By constructing $500 mile
chain of block houses he stopped the
Boer raids and virtually ended the
war in South Africa. This added {.
his popularity and prestige at home
and he was rewarded by the title OF
viscount, promotion to the rank OF
general for distinguished services, the
thanks of parliament and a grant OF
$3.50 900.
Immediately after the peace General
Kitchener went to India as comman-
der in chief of the British forces there,
and in this position which he held for
seven years, he carried out not only
many far-reaching administrative re-
forms, but complete reorganization
and straategical redistribution of the
British and native forces. On leaving
India in 1909 he was promoted field
marshal and appointed commander ia
chief and high commissioner in the
Mediterranean, and later on took n
tour of inspection of the forces of the
entire Empire, drawing up a scheme
of defense of the overseas dominions.
He then returned to Egypt, the scene
OF his first triumph, in the capacity of
British agent and consul general in
Cairo-virtually governor general of
Egypt-and led in the economical de-
velopment of the country, building
new roads and irrigation projects ON
large scale.
During all the years the British
people had looked on Kitchener's ST.
IOhI UuG 0hCStlFO WOAh, IuCy ndu never
been able to fathom his personality.
His fact was that of man who Meth
err asked for sympathy nor wanted it.
He had steady, blue-gray, passionless
eyes and heavy moustache covered a
houth that shut close and firm like a
wolf trap. He believed with all his
might in the gospel of work. He had
illimitable self-confidence. For bungl-
ing and faint-heartedness he was in
capable of feeling sympathy or show
ing mercy; an Office who failed him
orce got no second change. He had a
grim laconic humor. He was indiffer-
ent to popularity, particularly among
women, and though feted all over the
world in social circles, never mar
ried. In 1910 he paid brief visit to
the United States during a atrip
around the world. At that time 1t
came out in the New York papers that
the great Kitchener was a woman
hater." He took occasion to deny this
and said the only reason he had never
married was because he believed a
man could not be good soldier and
a good husband at the same time.
