Attorney General on the Rock Hill

Attorney General on the Rock Hill
Situation General Wolfe has
written Secretary Hayne Of the state
board of health as follows, with regard
to the Rock Hill case:
IT have your letter Of the Gath in
slant, advising me of the situation ex-
listing in the town of Rock Hill, where
an effort of the local board Of health
to close the picture shows under quar-
antine regulations Is being defied ano
the sheriff disclaims any responsibility
for executing the mandates. OF the
board.
I'm compliance with your reques,
that this office instruct you as to the
legal rights Of the state and the Local
board in the premises, I call your at.
tention to Section 10, Article VIII, OF
the constitution, providing for the ere.
health and clothing them with power
and authority to make regulations
as will protect the health and abate
nuisance. Article / Of Chapter XIII
of Vol. 1 Of the code creates these
boards and gives them plenary powers
for the enforcement Of their regula-
tions. Section 1872 gives to the state
board supervisory and advisory contro
over local boards, inclusive OF those
existing in incorporated cities or towns
as will be seen from Sec. 1875. Sec
1885 makes 1t obligatory upon loca-
boards to execute the orders OF the
state board of health and renders their
members subject to removal for fall
ure or refusal to properly comply with
its orders. Section 1914 renders the
sheriff, constables, police officers OF
health officers the agencies through
which the orders Of the board o.
health are made effective.
"The case Of Alton vs.. Board o.
Health, holds that where the action Of
the board is not arbitrary or capricious
the courts are without authority to re.
view It,. The case Is reported In VI
8. c., at page o53."
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-01-28

came out with a sensational story
about influenza throughout the state.
1t was a first page story that repre-
sented that there were twenty thou
sand cases of Influenza in the state
and that the disease was not only
spreading rapidly; but it was of even
more deadly type than was the first
outbreak The story seemed to con-
vey the impression that the epidemic
was coming right after Columbia with
flying banners and the like. AS to
whether any of the senators were on
does not yet appear; but next morn
ing-the morning after the house had
sat down on the governors veto, and
after the Record had made its gas at
tack-the senate voted to adjourn till
the second Tuesday in July. With
the Records story and the senatc's ac-
tion. pressure was commenced on the
house. 1t looked like the thing was
going to work. Certain members OF
the house, however, had very ear
nest and honest consultation with DR..
c. Y. aiken, of the public health ser
vice Dr. Aiken did not hesitate to
say that the influenza situation was
bad over the state, though the disease
was, in his opinion, of a less virulent
nature than heretofore; but he knew
Of nothing that would warrant such
statements or impressions as the Co.
lumbia Record had been making. Dif-
ferent members began to smell a
mouse, and Representative Smoak, OF
Greenville, said that although no was
drcadfully afraid of influenza. he would
be dad jimmed If he would not rot be-
fore he would be f1imflammed in any
such way as that. Others felt like
wise, and when the question of run
ming away came to vote In the
house, the members stood their ground
65 to "a. The senate had already vot-
cd to-adjourn until Tuesday at noon
end the house voted to adjourn until
Monday night. There Is no doubt
about the fact that the members are
afraid of influenza. Some few OIL
them have it and the families of many
Of them have it. The inclination to
adjourn until next summer is strong
and Mr.. Carpenter is Of opinion that II
the senate will at once pass the five
cent fare bill over the governors veto
the house will talk to it about going
home. As to what is going to happen
along that line. however, remains toi
today's developments.

Well informed people who are hon
est about it very well understand now
John l.. McLaurin made the cotton eX-
change gamblers take note of things
while he was in charge of the state
warehouse, and we do not mind saying
that if he were in the United States
senate today. or even governor of the
state, cotton would not be as helpless
as il now seems to be. He knows eX-
actly how the manipulators manipu'
late and exactly what to do to circum'
vent them. His presence in the
United States senate right now would
be worth hundreds Of millions OF dol
lars to the south.

Representative Tom Heflin, Of Ala
bama, charges that combination of
American and foreign spinners are
raiding the cotton exchanges in the
hope OF breaking the price of spots;
but predicts that within fifteen days
futures will again be quoted at so
cents pound. We believe with Mr.
Heflin that the present break is the
result of a carefully planned raid and
we hope that the Alabama mans pre-
diction will prove correct. 1t is easy
enough to see how the raiders can
make speculative prices what the!
please so long as no actual cotton is
moving.

Othwise. probably the public would
never have been any wiser. The
house. as already stated. had passed
the five-cent fare bill over the gov
ernors veto, by on almost unanimous
vote. One hundred and one members
voted for the passage Of the bill and
only three stood by the governor
Two of them were from the govern
or's homo county and the other was
Sneaker Cothran. The proposition
was then up to the senate. If the
senate should agree with the house

to at once reduce the fare to and from
Camp Jackson to five cents each way.

QUESTION OF PROCEDURE.

In compliance with a request from
Secretary Hayne of the state board of
health, Governor Cooper called upon
Sheriff Quinn last Saturday to close up
q moving picture show that was being
operated in alleged disobediencc to an
alleged order of the local board Of
health.
Sheriff Quinn advised the governor
that he stood ready to do whatever the
governor should order to be done; but
he had legal advice to the effect that
the Rock Hill moving picture PROPOSE
ton was purely within the Jurisdiction
of the local authorities Of Rock Hill,

Thirtieth Will Go to Camp sevier.

Thirtieth Will Go to Camp Sevier.-
Senator Simons Of North Carolina on
Saturday called upon the war depart
ment with reference to the return OF
the Thirtieth Division and was in
formed that all possible haste is being
made in getting the men of this divi-
sion ready for their homeward trip
He was informed that not only had
these men been asked to various cities
in South Carolina but that North
Carolina and Tennessee also were ask
ing for them.
In this view of the situation, they
will probably go to Greenville after
they have been debarked at Charles
ton. In fact, Senator Simmons was
practically assured on this point. Cen
eral March Informed the North Caro-
lima senator that the war department
officers were as anxious as the men of
the Thirticth themselves and their
friends for them to be at home again
and that everything consistent with
the situation was being done towards
this end.
From present indications the men
will embark sometime during the COM
ing week and land at Charleston pos
sibly two weeks later. That will make
their arrival in Charleston about Feb
lllarv Is.
