Mr.. Lanier said dthat during a re-
cent visit in the west he found many
small town crowded with eager pur-
chasers, crowds coming for distances
to attend dollar day sales.
"The merchants for years have
put on these dollar sales and the peo-
pie crowd into the town once each
month";" Mr.. Lanier said. Americas
merchants can do the same thing if
they will. The merchant is overlook

Great crowds will come into the
CITY,"

said, "has been pulling off these dol
lar days most successfully. Recent
ly l was in Dublin. The streets and
stores were crowded Shoppers were
in Dublin from far and near. The
merchants there consider dollar dav
one of their greatest trade stimu-
lants. Our merchants can do the
same thing if they will only make
the attempt"
Frank Sheffield, Carr Glover and
others expressed a desire to see Am
circus begin the monthly dollar day.
President Dykes referred the sub
Ject to a special committee which
VIII make an effort to bring about
dollar days in Americas.

FLU IN GEORGIA:

ADVISESCAUTION

That there is influenza in Georgia,
and suspicious cases in Sumter coun-
ty, is the information conveyed in a
card by DR.. B. F. Bond, county
health officer who, without attempt
ing to sound an alarm, suggests that
persons begin now to exercise care.
DR.. Bond says that the medical pro-
fession is disagreed as to the likeli-
hood of another pandemic of the
disease this winter but advises use of
caution to be on the safe side. Fol
lowing is DR.. Bonds card:
Following the wake of the sum
mer colds that have been prevalent
in Sumter county for the past six
weeks, we are confronted with con-
dition wildly reminding US of the
conditions preceding the serious out
break of influenza last season, and
may | remind you that the medical
profession classifes all acute infam-
nations of the throat and lungs
either as infectious or contagious af-
fections, and while big majority of
individuals are naturally immune
from such affections, yet the fact is

NEW YORK, Sept. 18-Announce-
ment was made at the headquarters
offices of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, in this city, to-
day, that special invitations were to
De issued Immediately to business
men of the South, through CONNER
cial secretaries of the various COM
munities, asking business leaders to
attend the annual world convention
Of advertising, to be held in New Or
leans, Sept. 81 to 25.
The South" said P. S. Florea, ex-
ecutiVe manager of the advertising
association, SHOULD take full advant-
age of this convention, for it is being
held in tie South for the specific pur-
pose of giving Southern business men
opportunity to attend, and thereby
improve their advertising and selling
METHODS By holding our meeting in
various sections of the country from
year to year, we are able to bring
them within the reach of every en-
terorisng business man who realizes
the great Importance of his advertis-
ing
Business men of the South will be
admitted to the New Orleans conven-
ton without regard to holding mem
bership in the advertising association,
Mr.. Florea said, for the advertising
organization is an educational insti-
tuition.
While New Orleans is planning en-
ter5ainment features that will long
be remembered, the convention will
first Of all be a business meeting, de-
signed to give the business man brass
tack ideas and information upon how
to sell his merchan Else to better ad-
vantage, both to himself and to the
public. Better service must be the
foundation for increased sales-bet-
ter service, backed by better adver-
Using. That is the belief of the ad-
vertising association.

Symptoms In Sumter.

cases of influenza are being re-
ported in Georgia. Cases are occur
ring in Americas and Sumter county
with symptoms of influenza and the
persons of contact have been advised
This card is not to incite fear or evil
torebodings, but simply an interview
purposely that we may fully realize
our Individual responsibility in pre-
venting repetition of our past ey-
periences with influenza.
Experience has taught us that
colds without the fever, pain and
prostration are not influenza and at
no time have the serious compiled
lions following influenza been asso-
ciated with colds, but whenever YOU
feel feverish and have an elevation
of temperature with sore throat, ewes
and head hurting, aching all over til
body, that may or may not be accom-
panied by lung involvement and
weakness, you should go to bed, if
for no other reason than self protec
ton.
II am not an alarmist, but rather
optimistic, and this is not intended to
brighten any one, but solely that YOU
may know of the existing conditions
regardless Of what YOU or I believe
about influenza. B. F. BOND"

cur singly but that the neighborhood
or community group is affected.
No Definite knowledge.
"Volumns have been written about
influenza. Some writers Of a more
optimistic mood aver that never again
will we witness another pandemic,
since so many are immune by having
had one attack, and that from past
experiences we have acquired a suffi-
cient knowledge of the disease to
master the situation and prevent an
outbreak; other writers claim that
science has not demonstrated anv
fact and that we are yet without any
definite knowledge as to the cause or
mode of transmission, and that cases
are now occurring and that the his
tory of preceding attacks were that
they were followed by recurring at
tacks of a more virulent type, and. in
the face of this evidence predict an
other outbreak.
Those who suffered with an at
tack of influenza say that influenza is
not cold but dreaded disease ac-
companied by pain, fever, throat and
lung complications and pronounced
depression and weakness, and those
are the conditions to which desire to
call your attention. Any one suffer
ing with those symptoms for self
preservation should go to bed, and to
protect others should be isolated and
only one attendant admitted. We
tried several methods last winter as
ere entlve measures; houses were
'acarded, but th5t was not entirely
successful, as many families obiectt q
to the posters stating that a cor ,muu-
lcable disease was within and in MANY
instances physician was not called
until pneumnoia had developed, and
then the family would admit that the
patient had had Influenza; another
method was reporting and isolation.
and that was Objectionable, as it in
tertered with business or social or
gagements; another method was
adopted and it, too, was obiectionab
since it disorganized church and
school work.
