we're simply following out what our
friend Conlin in the last issue OF The
Diamond Drill said editorially should
be the duty OF all newspapers The
Diamond Drill In commenting on the
large sum OF money spent in the
Newberry campaign last summer for
advertising purposes and the proposed
legislation to curtail that expenditure
said:
The country newspaper Is public
utility In It's community. It's place
is to keep its house In order and to
tell outsiders how well il Is kept.
As a public utility its place is to
also criticise as well as to commend
Its criticism should be done in a
friendly manner and not with any an
imosity. The men who suggested crit
icising the poor commission had no
animosity against the commission OF
any member OF that august body, and
so far as the writer is concerned he
had no personal animosity in the mat
ter the poor of the county received
the necessary assistance and received
it promptly when needed. God knows
that is the least we can do by those
who unfortunately may need our as
sistance.

John Anderson, Of KIpling, Is Found
Guilty Of First Degree Murder.

John Anderson, the Kipling board
ing house keeper. was convicted late
Friday afternoon OF the murder OF
John Mallberg, In Kiplinig the night
OF November III. Anderson was SEN
fenced Saturday morning to imprison-
ment for life in Marquette prison by
Judge Flanagan.
Sentence was pronounced at about
$3.50 o'clock and but few persons 9th
er than court attaches were present.
Anderson received the sentence like
stole. There was nothing In his de-
meanor to indicate that he held any
thing more than casual interest in the
proceedings. He never batted an eye,
offered word. or seemed to manifect
the slightest emotion.
Anderson was accompanied to the
courtroom b yhis attorney, N. c. Spen-
Ger. Mrs. Anderson was not with
him. Immediately after sentence was
pronounced he was taken back to his
cell in the county Jail.
Anderson was taken to Marquette
prison yesterday morning by Sheriff
Frank O'Dess. Arrangements for de-
livering him at the prison were made
by long distance phone by the sheriff
early Saturday afternoon.
At the Jail Saturday morning, An
derson again protested his ignorance
OF the Gauge of Mallberg's death.
Anderson was convicted OF murder

NEW COUNTY VOTES MARCH II.
AllendaIe Then to Pick Out Offi-
GERS.

Barnwell, S. c., Feb. 22.-The
first primary election to select offl-
GERS for the new county Of Allendale,
carved out of portions of BarnWeil
and Hampton counties, will be held
March 11th, with second election
two weeks later, if one be necessary.
According to reports reaching
Barnwell, the woods are full OF
cadidates for the various Offices,
the rather large assessment not hav-
ing been a deterrent. At a meeting
held in Allendale a couple of weeks
ago. the assessments were fixed as
follows: Clerk of Court, 500; sher-
iff, 800; auditor, s55; judge of pro-
bate, $50; superintendent of educa-
ton, $50; senator, $40; coroner,
$40; magistrates, S..
The new county also proposes to
vote on the question of whether or
not bonds shall be issued for road
improvement in a sum not less than
s25O,000, nor moreSthan $50O,OOO.
The road question was one of the
prime factors in the new county
movement, and this phase in the
development of Allendale county will
be watched with considerable inter-
est by the residents of the mother
county.

eased mucus from sick man and
putting it into the nose and throat
of a we'll man was reduced to as lit
tie as 80 seconds. Yet none of the
men so infected developed any SNIP
toms of the disease.
Determined that the test should
be exhaustive, the doctors next sub
mitted a group of volunteers to in
lection by actual coughing and spit
ting. For this purpose ten volun-
teers were selected, and ten bed pa
tients who had recently come down
with severe attacks of influenza.
Each of the volunteers leaned over
the bed of each of the sick men, con-
versed with him for few minutes,
and allowed the patient to cough dl-
rectly in his face, so that there
should be no doubt of a transmission
of diseased tissue. Each volunteer
was thus exposed to ten different
cases of influenza, and was in close
proximity with them for not less
than three-quarters of an hour. Yet
not one of these volunteers developed
any symptoms of influenza.
The experiments in San Francisco,
which were carried out under the dl-
rection of Surgeon G. w. Mccoy of
the public health service, and Lieut..
De Wayne Richey Of the United
States navy at the Angel Island quar-
antine station, were very similar in
method and in result. The men who
volunteered for these expert
ments had i. been vaccinated
with Pfeiffer's influenza bacilli
and pneumonia germs. If, as
European reports would indl-
cate, influenza is caused by an ultra
microscopic germ, such vaccination
would be without protection to those
so vaccinated. None of these men
had been exposed to the influenza
epidemic.
In this experiment there was no
direct exposure to patients, but the
additional methods of infection were
tried of injecting the blood of an in
fluenza patient into that of volun-
teer, and of introducing the pure cul-
lures of influenza bacilli into a vol
unteer's eye. No one of these men
developed influenza.
The result of this experiment has
left the medical world completely be-
wildered.
The. theory which has apparently
been upset by these experiments was
originated by famous French physi-
clan Nicolle, who claimed to have
produced influenza with a material
obtained from mucus excretions. He
produced the disease with this mate
rial after filtering through a fine
porcelain filter showing that a germ
was present which was not only too
small to be detected with the micro
scope, but too small even to be held
back by the fine pores of unglazed
porcelain. Foster, an American ar
my surgeon, showed that common
colds were produced by equally min
ute germs. The work of Foster bore
so directly on the problems present
ed by influenza that it may be said
to have led to the experiments there
described.
The only thing which can be con-
sidered proved about influenza so far
is that it is still a mystery both as to
the nature of it's causative germ and
as to it's means of transmission, and
therefore especially dangerous. Au-
thorities, however, still consider in
fuenza crowd disease, and all un-
necessary gatherings of people
should he discouraged when influenza
is prevalent.

tance of the mouth as an avenue of
Infection
There can be no doubt that these
experiments at Boston and San Fran
cisco were carried out with the ut
most thoroughness. Lieutenant
Commander Rosenau of the navy
medical corps and Surgeon Joseph
Goldberger of the public health SER
vice were the officers in charge of
the Boston experiment, which was
made at the quarantine station on
Gallop Island. Forty-seven men
were the subjects of this part of the
experiment. All of them had been
more or less exposed to the disease
and 80 of them had never had any
bronchial disease. This means that
some of them may have been natural
ly immune to Influenza, but it is not
at all probable that all of them were.
The first experiment consisted in
thoroughly injecting the noses of
about ten of the men with cultures
of Pfeiffer's influenza bacillus, viru-
lent germ commonly found in infiu-
enza. None of the men developed any
symptoms. The next form of the ex-
pertinent was to take the secretions
from the noses and throats of influ-
enza patients and place them in the
noses and throats of the volunteers
by means of swabs and sprays. The
