out to butt street car off the tracks.
The incident occurred near. Eek

Zelinople. The bull, big red one, es-
capped from pasture near the Har-
mony route, and when it saw the big
car coming it trotted close
to the tracks, eyed the car malevo-
lently and lowered it's head. When
the car, rolling along at slow sped,
was about 80 yards away, the bull
charged. 1t struck the font Of the
car, head-on, with terrific force. The
car was derailed and toppled over to
the edge of a 606-foot deep ravine
skirting the tracks at that point Here
the car, partly overhanging the ravine
remained while the six panic strick-
en- passengers and crew crawled to
safety. None was hurt seriously, tho
all were shaken up

RETURN Of INFLUENZA
THIS WINTER EXPECTED
Physicians Believe Plague Will
Be Somewhat Milder,
However

A return of the influenza epidemic
this autumn is certain, although it is,
not believed that it will be as virulene
as was the case last year, when the
dreaded disease swept over the most
densely populated and most isolated
areas, leaving death in it's wake, ac-
cording to the opinions of prominent
physicians and authoritative literature
consulted. Reason for the predicted
return Is based almost exclusively on
the history of the disease as is re-
Elected in Oslers Principles of Medi-
cine, whereas there is no scientific
reason for predicting a moderated re-
turn other than the assertion that a
community or a nation becomes i'm
mune to an appreciable extent.
400 Years Old.
According to Osler, the first in
fluenza pandemic was in the 18th CEN
fury, whereas the most severe were ex-
perienced in 1880 and 1833;1836 and
1887; 1847 and 1848 1889 and 1890.
His book was written in 1912, prior to
the outbreak of the last, and by far
the most serious pandemic. In the his
tory of each pandemic, the disease
first began in the east, sweeping to
the west rapidly, and spreading over
every section Of the world in less
than six months time. 1t Is said to
attack the populace more indiscrim-
inately than any other disease, indie
pendent Of season or meteorological
conditions, except perhaps so far as
sunshine Is concerned, although 1t is
stated later that the disease Is more
deadly in cold seasons. During an
Influenza pandemic, however, other
diseases become less noticeable, al
though it is thought that some of
these are wrongly called influenza,
thus explaining their ostensible alb
sence.
Is Still Endemic.
According to report of the United
States Public Health survey, the dis
ease is still endemic in several comS
munities. For instance, there were IA
cases in Philadelphia during the past
month; 10 cases in Boston, and so
forth. But medical authorities here
agree, for the most part, that the dis
eases, la grippe and influenza are the
same, II epidemic or pandemic, and
that it is naturally to be supposed
that the disease Is always prevalent.
Although the statement is not based
on medical authority, it is said by
physicians that this explains the re-
turn of the diseases.

FARMERS HAULING
TOBACCO TO MARKET
Many Thousands of Pounds Sold
at Good Prices on South
Carolina Markets

Hemingway, Aug 22.-Monday was
the biggest day in the history of the
Hemingway tobacco market. There
are four big warehouses, 80 by 200
feet and one still larger and all were
crowded, so much so that tobacco had
to be unloaded out of doors and truck
ed. Sales began early and continued
till dark and were not then complete.
Over 100000 pounds was sold. Tobacco
still continued to come in for the
days sales. Prices for good tobacco
are satisfactory and for lower grades
poor.
1t Is conservatively estimated that
the tobacco was damaged by rains 33
per cent as to quantity and so per
cent in quality. The market closes
about September first.
Jacksonville Market.
Johnsonville, Aug 22.-After having
been closed for number of days on
account Of the conditions on the rail-
roads, the tobacco market here has
reopened and Tuesday the three ware
houses sold 227, pounds at almost
undreamed of prices. Good tobacco
sold up to 80 cents per pound and even
the trashy grades brought good prices.
This morning at o'clock every ware
house was blocked and still the wag-
ons were pouring in. 1t is estimated
that there is now in the warehouses
and on wagons for today's sales $780,
900 pounds.
Sales yesterday lasted until Z p. m.
The JohnsonVille market needs two
more large brick warehouses and al
ready company of prominent farm
ers has organized and is getting ready
to build one of these.
Big Sales at Timmonsville.
Timmonsville, Aug. 22.--For sew
eral days last week the tobacco ware
houses here had no sales as the rail-
roads would not accept freight and
so the tobacco has been piling up rap
idly, but the embargo has been lifted
and enormous sales have been held in
all of the warehouses this week. Mon
day about 100000 pounds was sold al
exceedingly high prices. Today is a
record breaker and already more thar
| 100 wagons are camped near here fol
the sales tomorrow. Because of the
big prices here and recognized square
deals in all of the warehouses, farm
ers from all sections are bringing theil
tobacco to Timmonsville.

HENRY COUNTY MAN
SUED REVENUE MEN
Got Judgment and Uncle Sam
Pays the Bill, Amount
ing To $537.50

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has affirmed the verdict rem
dered in the federal court at Danville
by jury of September IS, 1918, in
the action brought by Thomas Cruise
of Franklin county against Federal
Revenue Agents H. V. Shugart and ].
n. Wood who were sued for the sum
of $4,000 on the ground that they had
wrongfully searched the home of the
plaintiff without warrant calling for
such action. AS the United States
government is responsible for the &C
ton OF its agents in cases of this
character, Uncle Sam will have to pay
to Cruise the sum of $53750 plus six
per cent interest as this was the sum
awarded by the jury after mature de-
liberation of the facts in the case. 1t
Is not money out of the pockets Of
the agents. Meade r. Flynn yester-
day received the papers in the case
and an entry has been made on the
court record. A check will be sent to
the Franklin county man within
few days on the U. S. Treasury.
The evidence in the case revealed
a somewhat slpshod method of off,
GERS of the government in searching
and experimenting a man who was
later acquitted of wrong doing. The
evidence was that the two officers ap-
peared at Cruises home and told him
theat they were going to search It for
whiskey or a still Cruise begged the
officers not to do it, owing to the fact
that his wife was in no condition TO
be submitted to excitement, or fright
Thn la
and the officers walked in. They
searched the premises and in the attic
discovered a still and worm which
the owner of the house said, has lain
there undisturbed for four years and
which had not been used in that
time. Cruise was making a grain box
at the time, and the officers, contend
ing that the farmer was making
box in which to transport the still to
some other part, arrested him on that
charge. He was taken into custody
there and then before the eyes of his
wife and was taken TO Martinsville
and there put into Jail, where he was
forced to remain at the very time his
domestic duty loudly called him to
his home The evidence showed that
Cruise was put in Jail without war
rant or mittimus and the sheriff
was instructed to hold Cruise until
some one hollered." The raiders then
went off on another riding exploit,
leaving no papers to show on what
charge the man was held and it was
impossible for Cruise to secure bond,
for no one knew what he was being
held for and it was impossible to To-
cate the officers. Finally, the sheriff
realizing his predicament, did issue a
warrant for the purpose of technical
ly holding Cruise, but it later develop
ed that this charged an offense not

Speaking further as to the situa-

1T is practically impossible for
the stock shark to do business in this
state and if any are at work they
have to conduct their business
secretly and constantly in the fear

On the other hand there is great
