Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 5.-(Special.)-
Owing to the prevalence Of Influenza,
more than 1000 cases Of which have
been reported In Madison county, DIR.
Carl Grote, county health officer, has
issued an order closing the picture
shows and other places of amusement
and forbidding public meetings except
In case OF great necessity. The liberty
loan parade which was scheduled for
next Saturday has been cancelled and
three of the largest cotton mills here,
the Dallas, Abingdon and Margaret
mills, have been closed down until fur
ther notice. The mills closed more as
a matter Of precaution than of neces-
sity, and the public schools will not
be closed for the present because the
sick children are being sent home each
day and the others are better safe
guarded than If they remained at home.
There are only three doctors In Hunts
willie able to attend to their duties.
DR.. Grote has wired the surgeon gen.
eral at Washington that medical as
sistance was needed and the surgeon
general has dispatched four doctors
who are expected here tomorrow. In
fuenza was first brought to this coun-
ty about two weeks ago, by Oscar Har-
well, ship worker from Philadelphia,
who visited relatives at Hazel Green
