HEED THE WARNING.

The public health service, both
state and national, has issued WAN
ing of the probable return of influ-
enza this fall and winter and the pos
sibility of it's presence in epidemic
form. General instructions have been
given as to how best to combat the
disease should it return. While II is
improbable that it will be as severe
as last year, yet it is proper that
We take the warning seriously and
do those things we can do to mini
mize the spread of the disease. We
have carried the reports from the
health officers on this matter in these
columns and shall be glad to repeat
them if it will do any good. In short
We are advised to be cautious as to
sneezing, keeping in good form ply
sically, and avoid crowding and con-
gestion of persons indoors. After the
awful experience of last winter we
ought to be On the alert and ready.
Let us heed the warning.

recent years and the benefits so apf

would seem to take time and space
to argue in favor of the PUBLIC lib

to establish local institution Of this
kind. and we are therefore calling the
attention Of the people of Dillon once
more to a careful consideration .t
the library proposition. We are aware
OF the fact that in a small way. some
thing has been done, but what we are
pleading for is provision on much lar
ger scale and in a more adequate
way for the needs of our citizenship
along this line. A very popular way
in recent years has been to secure
the assistance OF Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle of New York. This way is still
open and there are other ways. We
are welded to no plan, but hope by
calling attention to the matter tc

CONSERVATION OF TINE.

We do not have in mind so much
the misappropriation of time or the
, evil waste OF time, which of course,
must always be condemned, but the
needless waste of time occasioned by
the indifference so manifest with re-
spect to meetings of committees or
groups of individuals where action
must be deferred pending the arrival
of belated members Take for in
stance, board of directors, or trrs-
tees or officers, or committees. either

four meet on time and riust wait
half an hour. perhaps m hour. for
the coming of the other member who
was indifferent to the engagement,
and evidently caring little for the
waste of time he has forced on the
other four Day by day it is the same
old story.
This particular type of indiffer-
euce has become so widespread th@
in the larger commercial bodies the
directors and committeeman are paid
by the minute for attending COM
mittee meetings. We recently heard
a business man make an. address iii
which he stated that the directors OF
the concern to which he belonged paid
4 the members one dollar per minute
for attending the meetings, and he
added that they were always on time
and they always held a quorum.
This ought not to be necessary.
Church committees, school commit
tees, civic committees, public CON-
mittees, in fact all committees or
boards, or groups of individuals
where action is held UP or delayed
or is contingent upon the presence of
the members, ought to consider the
interests of all, and if so it it safe to
say there would be considerable

THE OPENING OF SCHOOLS AND

With all our equipment there are yet
many who will not avail themselves
OF the opportunities provided. With
the beginning Of the operation of the

ought to stand higher in the estima-
