The Death Rate.

1t is impossible to secure exact
figures on the death rate from influ-
enza throughout the county but an
interview with the several undertak-
ers and dealers in coffins and caskets
shows that about 60 deaths have oc-
CURED in the county in the last three
weeks. The death rate among black
and white has been about the same
1t is the greatest affliction that has
ever been visited upon the county,
but the people have borne it bravely.
The Red Cross Chapter has been do
ing valuable work in providing food
for families in distress and getting
volunteer nurses for those who are
not able to take care of their afflicted
ones. This great organization has been
the means of greatly tightening the
burden and to it and the several hero
fc men and women who have labored
faithfully day and night for the past
several weeks the community will be.
under lasting obligations.

INFLUENZA EP|DEMIC
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL ESTAB-
LlSHED FOR COL1ORED PEOPLE.
Board OF Health Orders All Stores
Closed on Saturdays Till Furth-
ef Notico.

There are unmistakable signs Of i'm
pFovement in the influenza situation
throughout the town and county, but
the health authorities are not relax
ing their efforts to control the spread
Of the disease. There are no new cases
in Dillon, but there are quite a num-
ber of new cases in the country, al
though new cases in the rural dis
tricts are decreasing daily.
Every effort is being made to pre-
vent q recurrence of the epidemic.
The government health authorities
ere warning the people against q
return of the epidemic and measuers
are being taken to keep infected per-
sons in their homes from 6 to 10 days
after the fever leaves them. A person
with a cough can spread the disease
at an alarming rate and such per-
sons are being kept off the streets.
The Board Of Health met Tuesday
and passed an order requiring all
stores to close every Saturday till
further notice. This action was taken
the towns. There were numbers of
people in Dillon Saturday and by Mon
day hundreds of new cases had brok-
en- out over the county. People are
urged to do their trading before Sat
urday and no one be allowed to en-
ter a store except in cases of emer-
gency. People are urged to stay at
home and everybody is warned agains,
letting their children come on the
streets. 1t has been proven beyond
q question of doubt that the disease
spreads among crowds. A person re-
covering from the disease should not
approach another and when it is neces-
sary to cough or sneeze handler
chief should be used.
A return of the epidemic will take
q greater toll of human life and the
public. is urged to guard against it.
The disease has broken out again in
several towns and camps where 1t
was thought the danger was passed
and the Inhabitants had ceased to
take precautions. In these towns and
camps the death rate Is high.
A clean liver, a good digestion. a
reasonable amount of good. whole
some food (that is q variety Of food)
plenty of exercise in the open air
where you do not come in contact
with other people are the best known
preventatives.
II you want to save your sick from
pneumonia keep them in doors from
6 to 10 days after the fever leaves
them and do not let them over-eat.

whole, though, they looked very

the testimony of those who have met
them they fight and fight well.
have been told they do not know or
do not believe, that there is an Amer
lean army of some size in France, but
time will teach them this important
lesson.
Il saw at one place a German loot
park which shows how thoroughly
they go about wrecking occupied ter
ritory, and probably gives an idea
of their need of metals. Here they
had assembled plunder from the
houses in the neighborhood with the
evident intention of sending it back
to Germany. There was pile of met
al bath tubs. another of lead piping,
and plumbing fixtures, also a large
pile of guttering which had been TAX
ell from the houses. In fact, any kind
of metal. including old scrap iron.
They had gathered a number of mat
tresses and feather beds in another
place and had collected up the emp
ty bottles.

cdpeO, anu III the OlllCe oI Tie park
l saw several crucfixes, church
bells, church ornaments and an en-
broidered altar cloth. l wish every
body in the states could see this
park. The Kaiser is always talking
about God, and here was plenty of
evidence of the way his troops treat
the French churches.
They richly deserve what they are
going to get, and until they get it,
it seems to me, the civilized world
has no other job half so important.
We owe a tremendous debt to Eng
land, France and the other allies who
have borne the burden for over four
years, and no matter how magnifi-
cient our effort is, we will still be
their debtors. I am glad we are doing
our part, and I am sure we will do
it nobly, but we must never forget
what our allies did before we went in.
