Scarlet fever, according to DR.. L.
N. Yost, is prevalent in less degree
than diphtheria, though Dr. Criss re-
ports two cases of scarlet fever to
one of diphtheria. This week, how
ever, the number cases Of scarlet fe-
yer is much less than last, there be-
ing but three cases.
Twenty six cases Of scarlet fever
have been reported inr'this city since
the first of September and 10 cases
of diphtheria, according to DR.. Crisis
The last report from other nearby cit
les shows cases of the two diseases

The report shows a low percentage
of disease of this nature. Last year
Fairmont had but three or four cas-
es of diphther1a. and scarlet fever.
Though the report for these diseases
for Fairmont is worse than has been
for ten years, the situation is not bad.
"A case Of diphtheria was found
this week which had not been report
ed where small boy was suffering
who is now about well. When ques-
toned the mother exclaimed: sure,
the boys got it. If / can get alcohol

Americas and Sumter county warmly be con-
graduated upon their virtually unanimous support of
hafmillion dollar bond issue for the construction of an
extensive system paved highways Out of more than
thousand in the election only seventy
against the bonds Still more remarkable and still
more of tribute to the countys civic earnesness and
vision is the fact that out the thousand
six hundred and fifty persons registered one thousand
one hundred and eightyseven went to the polls and
voted.
There could be no surer evidence of an alert and
patriotic czenry than this wide exercise the ballot
privilege All too frequently is it the case that only
minority of those qualified to vote take the pains to
do though questions of great pith and
to be determined Voting is not merely right and
privilege, but solemn duty which no citizen should
neglect Sumter county has an example this re-
spect which every Georgia community will do well to
emulate:
The five hundred thousand dollars of bonds authori-
zed at this election will be supplemented by an equal
amount from the Federal fund roads, so that mill
lion dollars will be available the improvement and ex-
pansion of Sumers highway system This will heghten
still further the counys newly through South

Sumter the road the right road permanent roads
The matter has been settled rightly settled Now,
the only thing they to do is to see that the
money is well spent spent in the kind of permanent
roads that will last
In Crisp sentiment is much in the same trend Peo-
pie all sides have like view of it and the Dispatch
heartily appreciates this fact as does every man with
real progress uppermost in his mind Frank Bartholo
and his committee of representative citizens have
great task their shoulders Is is the kind Of task
a really selfish body of men would not undertake.
But they want permanent roads because good roads
are first in the matter of development after good schools
and real churches The peaple Crisp county ought to
appreciate the fact that the leading business men are
going to give their time to securing this improvement
They ought to appreciate much that they should not
fail to put their shoulders to wheel and pull hard
the day and when the voters of this county
are asked to put in their for the issue of bonds
1t will take cooperation in the matter of getting the
voters to the polls and this cooperation must be given

(After Seeing Doug Fairbanks Film.)

TTI He last kiss faded OUT the brightness thinned.
4 Hands clattered in tempest of applause;

Glory turned garish in the following pause
The audience shrank with it, looked and grinned
Sheepshly at itself, then turned to see
What the next number the bill might be.
fat sang, q Hear You Calling Me-
But something still persisted something crude;
Childshly bosterous, palpably absurd
And yet it spelled America in rude
Large letters; told without a word
The essence of our boyhood the young spirit
Surer of nought than what we may inherit
Intrepid faith that does not stop to pray
And strength that springs from child's love and
play;
Reckless, spontaneous prodigal, immense,
Taking no thought of cost or consequence
Again life fckered from the shining reels
lady vampire posed with pet snake
Six odd sized clowns, late of the buresque wheels
Dressed as policemen fell into a lake
lisping tenor, painted to the eyes
Came out and squeaked Weir Going To Smash The
Hun"
And still the spell remained Out of the lies
And cheap hypocricies it rose and spun
It's kindred strands of fantasy and fun
Of gaiety unconquerable and wise,
Of the brash boy in us that never lies
But keeps better than text or truth
Bound to the bright democracy of youth

TO FIX ENROLMENT
nv MILITARY SERVICE
Recommendation Presented By Inter
Allied Association for the Promotion
nf League of Nations.

Paris, Monday, Feb. 3.--Leon Bour-
geois the French prepayment of league
Of nations, transmitted to-day TO the
society of nations copmission recommen-
dations as TO principles which had been
submitted to him by the interallied as
ISOLATION for the promotion of a league
OF nations.
One Of the recommendations urged the
establishment by the society of nations
of an international commission on edu-
cation. Other recommendations were of
a military nature. One OF these would
bind the associated states to prohibit the
sale of arms and munitions now pos
sessed or which may be ultimately man.
ufactured, 10 states outside the league,
while another would prohibit the trade
and manufacture of all arms and NUM-
tons Of war by private establishments.
1t was also recommended that the So
ciety of nations shall fix the number of
men TO be enrolled in the military and
naval forces OF each member, having re-
gard only for possible aggressions from
states outside the league, OF in revolt
against it. II adds that the associated
states should impose upon the central
powers by peace treaty, limitation of
ornaments and the control of their man
ufacture so as to permit members OF the
society of nations to reduce Immediately
and substantially their military estab.
lishments.

Comptroller Of Currency An
nounces Plan to Speed
Up Payments
MANY HAVE BEEN
HELD UP FOR MONTHS
Because of Incomplete Rec
ords of Extent of
Service

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4-Thousands
Of claims for additional pay by dis
charged soldiers, whose records were
complete at the time they were mustered
out, may be settled speedily by the war
department under a ruling to-day by the
comptroller of the treasury to the effect
that these claims are to readjusted with
ont passing through the usual compli-
Gated auditing channels. The director of
finance of the war department was au-
thorized to adjust the claims when a con-
struction of the law is not involved and
the soldiers right is clearly defined.
More than 5000 Of these claims. some
of them four months delayed, are on file
with the auditor of the war department
and many others are in the hands Of the
director Of finance Hundreds Of com
plants have been received from officers
and men, charging that pay or compen-
sation for expenses was withheld I'M
justly. 1t was explained to-day that
when soldier is discharged in some
cases he is given only partial pay, ow
ing to the absence of records showing the
exact amount to which he is entitled.
Later these records become available,
but the additional payment is not made
until the voucher for part pay cashed
by the soldier on his discharge is cleared
through the auditor OF the war depart
ment. This procedure often requires
three or four moRths, and during this
time the soldiers final payment was held
up.
The comptroller's ruling to-day provid-
ed short cut by permitting the finance
division Of the war department to issue
supplemental statement to soldier
Immediately. On this statement he can
collect.
