Storm Kills Many in Indiana


New Albany, Ind, March q.
Between Is and so persons
killed and probably 100 or more
were injured by storm which
swept over New Albany, demol-
ishing scores of residences and
several industrial plants.
Twenty-Five bodies have been
recovered, and ii is expected
this number will be materially
increased when all the debris OF
wrecked buildings have been
cleared away.
The lighting system for the
residence section of the city was
put out of commission by the
storm, and the work of rescue is
proceeding with difficulty.
The storm struck about
two miles from New Albany
and moved southwest. Enter
ing the city at State street, near
Haly, 1t swept through three
blocks. AT the intersection of
State and Pearl streets, it left the
ground and then struck again at
Vincennes street and the Char
lestown road nearly a mile away.
AT that point, dwellings in three
blocks were demolished.
In its progress along the Cory.
don Pike, the storm uprooted
hundreds of trees and DESTROYED
many small houses, many of
whose occupants were injured.

DO YOU WANT FLIES AND FILTH
From the fact that we have
heard no comment upon a citi
zen's proposition that Pageland
have waterworks and sewerage
as outlined in this paper last
week we judge that the time has
not come yet. These improve.
ments would cost about barrel
of money, to be sure, and per
haps it is better that the matter
be left off for a while.
But there are few things
Pageland can do, and a few
things that must be done. The
old open. offensive privies may
be replaced with sanitary ones;
the hog pens may be made large
enough to prevent excessive
filth; stables may be cleaned
regularly or have contents treat
ed to prevent flies; all holes and
low places where water accumu
lates may be drained, and all tin
cans may be removed or punched
TO prevent mosquitoes. These
are jobs that require little mon-
ey but quite a little systematic
effort on the part of the citizens.
We are arranging to have an
expert from Clemson College
come over and help us in a
campaign for more sanitary con-
ditions. He was to have come
last fall, but as his efforts are di-
rected to some extent against
flies it was thought best to post
pone his coming until spring.
Spring has come, and we ex
pect him within a few days.
ferhapS the date may be an
nOunced next week
There were few cases of
fever here last year. There will
be others this year unless pre-.
cautions are taken. Do you
want typhoid IN your family?
How would you like for your
son or daughter, your brother or
sister, or your parents to have
typhoid this year? How would
you like for your baby to die of
some diarrheal disorder this
year? Then join us in fight
for the health of your family
Do what you can to help. If
you are asked to spend dime
tor sanitation. do it. Better that
than dollars for doctor bills and
funeral expenses
Every I'D filthy open privy
is veritable dealh trap. They
should not be tolerated any
longer. The soil of the Town is
being polluted by this filth.
Flies Will soon be swarmine in
millions to carry deathly germs
into our homes.
This may not be considered
by some to be much of
boost for our town, but our
idea of boost IS fight TO bet
ter conditions rather than i'll

ton in fact. Pageland is not the
worst town in the State in this
respect, but it is bad enough to
have a remedy applied. Will

For several days it has been
almost like Christmas times
down at the express office. 1t
seems that it is liquor and more
liquor. 1t is less than a month
now, however, until it will come
only in quarts. A man said the
other day, "Who in the d
would go way down to the court
house for quart of liquory"
He seemed to think that the fel
lows who live near the court
house have been given a big ad
vantage over the unfortunate
ones who live in other sections
OF the county. Come to think
OF IT, that will be a long trip for
a sick man to make, and, of
course, a fellow who isn't sick
will not try for his quart.
