QUARANTINE RULES IN FORCE
Flu Makes its Reappearance and
Board of Health Puts Old Rules
In Effect Again. -

In Effect Again.
The flu has made its temperance
in the county and at Joint meeting
of the Board of Health and a number
of citizens held Sunday afternoon II
was decided to put the old quaran-
tine rules into effect again. The
schools, churches, theatres and other
public gathering places have been
closed indefinitely. The 10th and
18th grades at the High School will
continue their lessons, and the other
grades will report at the school house
every morning and receive their les
sons for the day. The lessons will be
heard in the form of written work
which will have to be submitted each
day for correction or approval. The
stores are allowed to open as early
as they please but they must close
by six o'clock every evening. Crowds
are not allowed to assemble on the
streets. The State Board Of Health
has been asked to appoint county
or district board of health, and when
this is done the quarantine will be
extended to every town in the county
in order to avoid discrimination. The
public is urged to observe every pre-
cautionary measure to prevent the
spread of the disease. Sneezing or
coughing in the presence OF others
should be avoided and sleeping rooms
should be kept well ventilated. Be
coming over-heated or chilled is apt
to bring on the disease and all per-
sons should be careful not to expose
themselves in severe weather. The
health experts claim that prevention
is largely an individual matter and
the person who does not know or will
not take care Of themselves is the one
who usually succumbs to the. disease.

Dillon High School Home Study
Week.

When the temporary suspension OF
all indoor public gatherings was de-
cided upon Sunday afternoon for the
purpose of anticipating in a preVen,
tive way a seemingly threated recur-
renee of the flu, the faculty of the
High School set themselves to the
task of trying to devise a plan oil
keeping the school work going and
yet keep within the conditions Of the
quarantine.
Permission was given for open all
instruction for the Tenth and EleV-
enth grades, and the idea generally
prevailed that open air meetings OF
a few and not too close together were
reasonably safe.
In keeping with these views and
for the purpose Of keeping the work
going during the period Of suspen-
sion, the teachers decided to try the
home study plan for the elementary
and lower high school grades
The plan is as follows: Teachers
will prepare definite lesson plans, in
cluding questions and topics and re-
ferences to the texts, pages and para
graphs in which the answers to these
may be found. Pupils are expected to
take these assignments and work
them out at home study, work them
out to the best Of their ability, and
return them to the teacher for correc'
ton. The teachers make such correc-
tions and explanations as may seem
necessary in the individual cases
and return papers to pupils either as
acceptably done or to be done again
in the light Of the explanations Of,
| fered.
Pupils are instructed by respective
teachers as to what hour to come to
the school campus to hand in their
lessons and get other assignments.
The teacher meets them in a group
off by themselves on the campus fol
the brief time necessary to hand Out
written assignments and take up les
sons and perhaps word OF explana'
ton, not over fifteen minutes. Pu'
pills then are dismissed to home via
different streets so as to prevent
large aggregations. Children are eI-
pected to go straight home and pre-
pare their lessons there, spending
the time at study az they would in
school.
Parents are requested to send chill
dren at the hour designated (see bull
Ientin at P. o., II the children do not
know,) and they will be sent home
Immediately after the lesson assign
ment. II patrons and pupils will CO.
operate with the plan there will be
no large aggregations or dangerous
contacts. The plan is practicable and
safe if all will help to make it so.
The home work as planned is good

MANNING URGES
STATE PROGRESS.
Governor Favors Broadening Of Ed
aeational System and Better
Better Highways.

Columbia, Jan. 15-Pointing to
high ideals of government and civili-
cation, the last annual message of
Richard 1. Manning, whose four years
of office as chief executive will ex-
pire January 81. when he will be
succeeded by Robert A. Cooper, of
Laurens, was read to the houses Of
the general assembly today. The
message breathes optimism for the
future of South Carolina, while it
recounts the achievements of the past
and it's mistakes.
Stating that the war is won for
world democracy and that the ideal
of autocracy is laid in its ashes, the
message calls the people of the state
to service in the following language:
"Unless we as people are unable
to consecrate our best efforts, our
highest ideals, our unselfish endeav-
ors and our moral, spiritual and ma
terial forces to the ways and the pur-
pose of peace as we have dedicated
these to the ways Of the winning of
the war, we shall fail to hold and
retain much of that for which the
var has been fought; but the splen-
did accomplishments of the people of
South Carolina in their unstinted and
wholehearted support of the war
leads me to believe, as.,I have said,
that they have grasped\ the vision
of the higher citizenship and clearer
understanding of its obligations"
Among the specific recommends
tions outlined and suggested in the
messages are:
A broadening of the educational
system, with liberal appropriations
for the maintenance of schools and
institutions of higher learning.
An improved system Of highways
Continued liberal care of the un-
fortunate insane of the state.
Consideration Of the splendid ac-
complishments of the state board of
charities and corrections.
Thoughtful consideration Of the
work of the state tax commission.
The maintenance of a system OF
state troops for the maintenance of
order, suppression of riots, safeguard
ing the people against invasion and
rebellion, should these occur.
Adequate salaries for state Off
cials.
Sufficient remuneration of all
classes of workers.
Improved housing conditions for
laborers, particularly those in the
cotton mills.
Improved sanitation, particularly
in the rural districts.
The forepart of the governors
message, which is pronounced, even
by his political enemies as parti-
cularly strong and eloquent state pap
er, is taken up with the things &C
complished by his administration and
they make a splendid recital. He
tells of the creation of the state board
Of charities and corrections, the
state tax commission, the conciliation
board and other agencies of economic
and industrial advancement, and the
improvements made at the state hos
pital for the insane. He narrates the
afforf ba made for law enforcement
and his successes, and the effort to
bring the people to higher ideals of
service.
Governor Manning, in simple Ian
guage, tells Of the great achievements
made by South Carolina in it's more
than historic part in the winning of
the great war, and exults in the
achievements of this state.

The delay in making this report
is partly due to the delays OF some
districts in making reports 1mme-
diately after the close Of the week Of
campaign, December 1923, and when
all were received other pressing dut-
les required all the time Of some
members of the Central Committee.
Also, it was promised to report the
membership by districts but this so
far has not been done because the
district reports did not specify the
name or number of the district.In
some instances also duplicate reports
were received, which made confus-
ing mass of details which the Secre-
tary has not yet had the time to
straighten out. Such things are al
most unavoidable under such condi-
tions as accompanied the campaign,
making it impossible to have public
meetings for the purpose of explain
ing in detail the purpose and plan OF
the campaign, and the above expla-
nations Of the delay and incomplete
ness of the report is not intended as
any adverse criticism of the officers
and canvassers in the campaign. The
wonder is how they did as well as
they did under the circumstances.
The Central Committee desires to
extend most cordial thanks and ap-
probation for the earnest and capable
assistance of all those who helped in
the Roll Call.
While number 1850 is far below
the goal set for the Roll Call, it
measures very creditably in sompar-
ison with the country as whole,

w. w. is permitted within the bord-
ers of the county.

SHEEP ARE WATERED
BY STRANGE PLANT
HIGH AND DRY PLATEAU In Non
TANA PRODUCES THIS STRANGE
VEGETATION

MISSOULA.-How a strange plant,
which is known nowhere else in Mon
tana, supplies water for great flocks
of sheep which Craze each summer on
a plateau in the Pryor mountains
near the southern boundary of Mon
tana, has been described here by Glen
A. Smith, chief of the grazing depart
ment of district No. of the forest
service.
"This plateau" said Mr.. Smith,
'srises 5000 feet above the level of the
sea. 1t is almost flat, and it slopes
gently toward the south. Across it
mountain streams have cut deep
gorges with sides to impossible that
sheep and cattle cannot make their
way down to the water. Yet hundreds
of them annually are turned out to
Craze there.
'sThe water which they use is sup
piled by nature in manner which,
so far as | know, is not duplicated
in this district of the service. The
dew on this plateau is very heavy,
and when it strikes a certain weed
there, known as the 'woolly weed it
sticks, and by eating this weed, the
animals are prevented from thirst.
And, therefore, because Of this weed,
the plateau supports 5000 sheep every
SIMMER though there is not a stream
of any kind upon it. The weed bears
in appearance a close resemblance to
tansy. 1t has a peculiar characteristic
in that it will gather moisture from
the air. Each night, soon after sun
down, large globules of water, the
size of the end of ones finger, will
gather on the leaves and one may pull
the weed up by the roots and shake it
yet the drops of water will
adhere to the leaves Just the same"
