WITHIN THE TOWN.

After the early morning meeting In
the courthouse yesterday. Mayor john
son declared a municipal holiday and
there was a general suspension of bus
mess.
Rev. B. H. Waugh was present at
the courthouse yesterday morning
when the prayer service was proposed,
and thinking there would be time went
home to bring his family.
Rev. ]. L. Oates explained yester-
day morning that the reason he did
not Join in the shooting celebration
was because Mrs. Oates got the pistol
first and was doing the shooting her
self.
There are still several severe cases
of influenza in the Cannon mill village,
but the situation is steadily improving,
and within few days more everybody
mployed in the mill is expecting 10 he
back at work again.
- Durinr the shooting in the streets
yesterday morning, bullet struck the
telephone cable opposite the postoffice.
Manager McCorkle said that the dam
age was about s25: but that was all
right.
- There was quite n large meeting of
the western district captains Of the
United War Work campaign in York
Vile last Saturday morning, more than
a hundred Of them being present. The
situation was discussed with careful
deliberation and a systematic plan Of
campaign was mapped out and agreed
upon with the assurance that a thor
ough canvass would be made during
the week.
Misses Lucia Reid Ewart and Ma
bel Berry Of the treasurer's office. are
down with influenza. Miss Martha
Brandon, Of the clerks office, who has
been Ill with the same malady for
about ten days, is getting along very
nicely. Mr.. F. E. Clinton, deputy
clerk, who has been away from his Of
fic for q good part Of the past two
weeks, because OF influenza in his fam
lily, said last night that all Of his peo-
pie were better.
-"Pshaw. could not stop that
shooting this morning." said Mayor
johnson yesterday afternoon, land
did not want stop II. or course aft
er daylight came and the crowds be-
gan to increase on the streets. asked
them to put up their guns and pistols.
and 90 to firecrackers II the" could get
them, and they did it. But who would
have thought about trying to put a
stop to the celebration Of an occasion
like this?"
There was no preaching in any Of
the local churches last Sunday. Ser
vices had been announced in all Of
them with the exception Of the Church
Of the Good Shepherd, the pastor Of
which had an appointment elsewhere.
But all these appointments were called
of, presumably at the instance Of the
board Of health" Several new cases
OF influenza had been reported during
the two days previous-some say six
and some say eleven-and 1t is pre-
sumed that this was the reason for
calling of the services in the church.
es. There Is no one In the town who
Is lacking in respect for the flu II
there Is. he Is to be pitied, but as to
the so-called quarantine regulations,
the main effect Of which seems to be
to keep people out of the churches
there Is considerable difference Of
opinion. Yes, there Is something to
the quarantine idea In ,me cases, es-
pecially when you know what you are
doing. 1t has been Of value in epi-

The thing for York county to do
with her war work apportionment is to
raise il in short ordcr-to pay it. II
instead of having the enemy whipped.
we were sorely pressed. the money
would have been raised without Ques-
ton. Possibly there Is not as much
need for this money as there would
have been otherwise. We really do not
think there Is: but our obligation is no
less than it was and as a matter Of
fact II would be more discreditable for
us to fall down than 1t would have
been to have fallen down under other
conditions. The amount asked for
York county is not large amount
compared with our ability to give, and
we should easily raise every cent Of 1t.

Paroled During Good Behavior.
Harper Williams Of York county.
convicted in April, 1909, Of arson and
sentenced to serve twenty years, has
been paroled by the governor during
good behavior. Accompanying the pc
tition for clemency for VILLAINS was a
statement from Hugh G. Brown, who
was sheriff Of York county at the time
the crime was committed. in effect
that Williams was at that time confin-
ed In the county Jail and he, together
with other prisoners. attempted to
burn a hole large enough to effect their
escape but II was not their intention
to destroy the building. This man has
served more than nine years Of his
sentence and has been sufficiently pun
ished, in the opinion of those familiar
with the facts.

Although the war department has
not seen proper to give out in advance
what it proposes to do upon the restor-
alton of peace. there is good reason to
believe that so soon as 1t Is certain
that the conquest Of Germany is com
plete there will be 4 revision of the
present programme. The probability
is that orders for the sending of troops
TO France will be countermanded. and
arrangements will be perfected forth
with for the release by furlough with
out pay or discharge Of such men as
may not be needed. Also many Of the
big war contracts will be Cancelled. and
there will be u general slackening OF
war preparations generally.

Again, Napoleon's famous prophecy
that within hundred years all Europe
would either be republican or Cossack.
The abdication Of the kaiser removes
the last autocratic monarch. Francis
Joseph of Austria, the car Of Russia.
the sultan of Turkey and Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria have stepped down and out,
since the beginning of the world war,
and now every government in Europe
is virtually republican or about to be-
come 50. The days Of kings are not
over, but the days OF autocratic polit-
ical power are evidently numbered.

hon. much IL has been worth in influ.

bou much II has been worth in influ-
enza Is quite doubtful. Strict quaran-
tine was enforced at Camp Jackson
and Camp Sewer. Both places had the
advantage Of IS per cent Of all the
medical skill and experience there Is
In this country. and there was no lack
of means OF enforcing any regulations
that were deemed necessary. Yet at
both places men died faster than It was
possible to obtain coffins in which to
bury them or labor to dig their graves
The same conditions have prevailed
elsewhere, and while many Quaran-
tines have been lifted, so far as infor-
nation goes, sporadic cases are still
breaking out In every community in
which the disease has yet appeared. A
recurrence Of epidemic conditions has
not vet been reported in any Of the
camps and that Is very likely because
Of the exhaustion Of the materia! in
the first attack. Whenever the disease
develops, however, 1t appears to run its
course regardless OF the doctors and
ouarantines, and the mortality does
not appear to be any lower where doc
tors are numerous than where they
are scarce. Although there have
been quite a number Of cases, includ-
ing several deaths. in this community

like an epidemic. To say that 1t can
not become epidemic or that there is
no danger Of It's becoming epidemic
would be silly. But where there Is any
protection in such q quarantine as has
been enforced" here. or as is being
enforced, Is difficult to see. The situa-
ton is suggestive Of the misfortune Of
the poor fellow who caught cold when
he slept in a pasture because he neg
lected to put up the bars. There
might have been some wisdom in the
closing of the schools. That step was
at least in keeping with stock quaran
tine regulations; but there are more
people congregating on the streets on
Saturday afternoons than are general
" in any Of the churches on Sundays,
and several of the stores had bigger
crowds than are usually to be found in
the picture show. 1t will have to be
admitted that the possibility Of an ef-
fective quarantine against influenza has
not yet been established, and it stands
to reason that II such a quarantine is
possible 1t would pretty nearly have to
amount to the suspension of every
kind Of business activity that involves
any kind Of business congregation. But
a quarantine which closes up the
churches without laying any apprecia-
BILE restriction upon so many other diff
ferent kinds Of miscellaneous assem-
blages Is obviously little more than a

1t took war to develop the Red Cross
in America. We had this institution
here before the war commenced to be
sure; but ii was comparatively unim-
portant as to members or efficiency.
One of the greatest benefits that has
been developed by the war has been
the Red Cross. This institution has
justified its right to support for all
time, purely on account Of the good II
has done, is doing and will do. 1t must
not be allowed to languish.
