THE INFLUENZA SITUATION
SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING

While there are a good many peo-
pie sick and a good many who are
very ILL and there have been several
sad deaths the situation in the pre-
vailing epidemic it seems to US Is i'm
proving in the city.
Three doctors came to our assist
ance last week and several nurses
and everything possible is being done
to care for the sick and to alleviate
suffering.
The conditions in the country on
rural districts are not so good as the
disease seems to be spreading in these
sections and good many deaths have
been reported. especially among the
colored people.
It has suspended all business and
especially has it hit hard the news
papers because the merchants are not
advertising as the people are request
ed to stay away from crowds and
from town in fact.
tn State board OF health does not
order the country gins to close but
requests those in authority to see TO
1t that there Is no crowding OF the
people and that those who come to
the gin stay out in the open. That
is the order sent to Sheriff Blease.

to the prevailing epidemic the cam

But even the epidemic must not
keep US from this campaign. Bullets

keep them from doing their part in
this great war. They can not do
their part unless we do our part over
here.

and airplanes and food to win the

The State.

The State.
Newberry was one CT the first of the
cities of South Carolina to suffer seri-
ously from the epidemic of influenza
and it was the peculiar misfortune cs
the community that one of the VIC
tins of the disease was physician,
DIR. William Eflerbe Pelham, Jr., Of
great usefulness and promise OF ex-
panding usefulness. He was in his
fortieth year, graduate of. the medf-
cal department Of Tulane university
where he won his decree with honors
in the class of 1915. He was gentle
man of irreproa chable character, a
deacon in the Presbyterian church,
and by his faithful ministrations had
endeared himself to large circle Of
friends. The harvest Of death has
been so great in South Carolina and
elsewhere in the last fortnight that it
is not practicable for newspapers to
call attention to the virtues of many
of those who have, died. The death OF
young and beloved physician OF tai
ent and attainments is, however, an
incident Of more than ordinary sad
ness even in time when so many
homes have been bereaved. Outside OF
Newberry as well as in that city there
is felt a profound sorrow for the loss
to the family and to the people of this
devoted and talented doctor whose
services were so greatly needed and
so cteerfully given.
