Washington, Jan. 25.-Congressrnan
Dominick, when Informed today that
the house committee on public build
ings and grounds would begin hear /,
ings on an omnibus building bill in
a few days, stated that he much re-
gretted the action of the committee
to prepare and offer bill of this char
acter at the present time, which has
for one of it's features taking care of
the unemployed, inasrnuch as he does
not think there will be any serious
situation of this kind during the COM
ing spring. He further believes that
at this time, when there are SO many
other matters which should receive
pubic attention at the hands of con-
gress and appropriations of various
kinds which should be made that
taxes should be held down generally
TO the lowest practicable point consist
ent with the needs of the people.
However, air. Dominick, said that if
a bill of this kind is passed he will
endeayor to secure all he can reason
ably get for his district. He will ask
that federal court houses be erected
at Both Greenwood and Anderson and
postoffce buildings be erected at Bel
ton, Pelzer, Piedmont Walhalla, WI
liamston, Seneca, Westminster and
Mccormick.
Mr.. Dominick hopes to secure full
data from the towns of his district by
the time the hearings begin and will
file this with the committee, SO that
if bill is passed he will be able to
properly take care of the needs of the
district. ?. Il. MCGOWAN.

THIS is TO BE ONE OF
WORST LOCUST YEARS

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The year
1919 is likely to be one of the worst
locust years on record, the department
of agriculture warned today. But al
though the locusts, and the 17-year
variety at that, are due to appear in
large number, entomologists of the de-
partment see nothing alarming in the
prospect.
The periodical cicada, the real name
of the insect, will appear in q States
in the East and South, the depart
ment says.
The inquiry done by the cicada, say
department experts, always appears
greater than it really is. and that pop
ular alarm is usually out OF proper
ton to the damage.

THE INFLUENZA SITUATION.
. o o o o @ o Q 8 8 @ o o o @ 8 O
Statement by II. B. Wells,
Manager Opera House.)

Manage: Opera Hoase)
We are willing to cooperate with
the health authorities in any manner
that we can, and do not desire to be
understood as opposing any means
that will check the spread of the dis
ease, but we do not feel that it is just
to be Disseminated against.
We are OF the same opinion that we
had during the first epidemic of in
fluenza, and that is, there is no more
danger of spreading the disease at
the opera house than ats any other
place of business.
We wish first to call attention to
the report of the secretary of the
New York health board as compared
with otker large cities. (New YORK
city did not close her public places
end the other cities did) The deaths
per thousand of population for four
weeks were: Boston, 101; City OF
Washington, l09; Baltimore, 15S;
New York, so.
Second. We wish to call your at
tention to the report of the special
influenza committee which met il.
Chicago some weeks ago, and after
considering all the data concerning
the last epidemic decided the closing
of public places Gid very little if any
good.
And last bet not least we call to
your attention the experiment just
completed by the United States Public
Health Service. These tests consisted
of subjectins 100 volunteers to expose
themselves to pronounced cases of in
fluenza in all the various ways the
medical profession thoag:lt the dis
ease was transmitted, such as having
the patient cough, sneeze, in their
faces, thoroughly injecting the noses
with the cultures from pronounced
cases Of Influenza, taking secretions
from the nose and throat Of influenza
patients and placing in the nose and
throat of the volunteers, and injecting
the blood of inflaenza patients into
the volunteers, and not one Of the 100
developed influenza.
We were at recent meeting Of the
city board of health and this question
was asked t;le chairman: isn't it a
fact that the physicians know very
little about influenza" His reply
was, eve know low it is transmitted y
We wish to quote from tie latter
part of the report above referred to
in regard to the experiments made:
"The only thing which can be con-
sidered proved about influenza so far
is that it is still q mystery, both as
TO the nature of the causative germs
and as to its MEANS OF TRANSM1S-
SION, and, therefore, especially dan
gerous."
