Care About Spreading Disease

T got to Birmingham recently from Nashville and got an Age-Herald" said Charles New, and found it filled with various stories of the fear of an epi- demic of Spanish influenza. l am III hearty sympathy with all the safeguaros being used to prevent it's spread, but III the upper berth on my sleeper was man in the last stages of consumptloht who was coughing and splitting, to the danger of all in the coach.
 My sympathy was aroused for hlni' but he seemed to have no idea that ne was scattering germs. He came into the dressing room and began to expecto- rate, and I saw one fellow grab his satchel and beat it. If stubercular pa tients travel there ought to be some care taken by the railroads to see to 1t that they use ordinary precautions not to en- danger the other passengers.

We are showed upder,' said M. C. Webb, of the American z1xpress com pany.
 we were already short of help on account of the war, and now the epi- demic of Spanish influenza has de- creased our force considerably. The recent congestion of express traffic has filled our depot storerooms to their utmost capacity and We have had to pile up parcels in the aisle of our First avenue office about 10 feet on either side, because of lack of room in the storeroom."

A GERMAN GRAVEYARD From Stars and Stripes Every day when new doughboys go
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-19

Tchouang Tsen gave her a coin, and she began:
 'The lady is Madame Lu, widow of M. Tao, learned mandarin, who died fortnight ago, and it is his grave near which you have seen her seated They loved each other devotedly, and could not bear to part
 Weeping by his bed, which she had not left during his long illness, she called upon the gods to witness that she would not survive him, that she would share his coffin as she had shared his couch. The dying man said: ]" Madame, do not swear to that
 At least, said Madame Lu, if am condemned by the fates to live after you are taken from me, swear to re- main your widow to the end of my life
 " Madame, do not swear that said her husband
 Then let me swear that five whole years shall pass before I become the wife of another,' she cried.
 But M Tao said Don't swear to that Swear only to cherish my memory faithfully so long as,the soil on my grave is still moist
 Madame Lu took a solemn oath, and the good M. Tao breathed his last. Her despair passed all ina aginng; she dug her sharp nails into her damask cheeks; she tore her hair; she cried her eyes red and sore. But time dulls all pains and her grief, too soon became less keen. A day or two later, young pupil of M. Taos came to pay his respects to the dead, and Madame Lu, feeling that sne could not avoid receiving him, admitted him with sigh.
 He was very elegant in dress and manner, and very handsome. He talked a lttel of NJ Tao and great deal of Madame Tao. He told her she was charming and that he loved her with all his heart. She let him speak on. He promised to come back to her, and in the meanwhile she spends the entire day, seated where you have seen her, drying as quickly as possible the soil of her husbands grave by her continuous. in- defatigable fanning,'

Our next, stopping place was at John Ayres, a prosperous farmer and mer chant, who is hid back in the old red hills of Randolph, 2 miles from Roanoke, 20 miles from Heflin, 23 miles from Bow nearest railroad station. He and his hands had had a busy morning getting in corn. He was rather lamenting that he would only get between 2000 and 5OOo bushels of corn off of his home place. This did not include what he was to get from his tenants

STREETS OF CITY
MAY SOON BE PAVED
MAYOR MeCLANAHAN MAKES
SUGGESTION REGARDING
MATTER TO COUNCIL.

A movement to pave the streets
in the business section Of Columbus,
which has been agitated at sporadic
intervals for several years past, has
again been revived by a reeommen-
dation regarding the matter which
was included in a report recently
submitted to the municipal council
by Mayor McClanahan.
The mayor estimates that the
work viii cost $4,000, and suggests
that the council call an election to
allow the citizens vote on the cues
tion in that amount. His suggestion
has been favorably received not only
by the council but by citizens gen.
orally and it is probable that an
election viii be called at an early
date.
