by the graveside, When her body was

volver in one hand and chloroform-
saturated handkerchief in the other.
To one side was found her wedding
ring, where she had dropped it after
removing it from her finger.
Mrs. Gilbert was a daring automo-
bile driver and had participated in

TALK ACROSS ATLANTIC.
Prediction That by Time Peace il
Signed Wireless Telephony Will

London, Jan. 25-(British Wire,

is signed we shall be talking across
the Atlantic by wireless" says God
frey Isancs, managing director Of the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com
pany, in an interview. Zone day in
the not far distant future" he adds
II think we shall walk about with
wireless telephones attached to oul
bodies and we shall be able, stand
ing say in Picadilly Circus, to call VI
a friend who is flying somewhere
Or we may have an invitation by
wireless telephony from friend fly
ing in France to join him at dinner
in the evening.
Wireless telephony has beer
very largely used in war for com.
munication between airplanes and
headquarters and for artillery work
But there is no reason why it should
not be available over very much
longer distances.
at will not be very long before
one will be able to sit at ones desk
in London and speak to New York
practically instantaneously. EquaI
facilities will be available for com
municating with Paris, Rome, Mos,
cow, or Amsterdam. In my view il
will be as easy to speak to Sydney OF
Melbourne or to New Zealand.
Long distance wireless telephony
will apply also to ships at sea and to
airplanes and airships."

overtaken many Of the old boys and
they are unable longer to earn their
bread without an income from any
source. Then why not ye solons in
stead Of wrangling about automo-
bile roads, give these worn out old
boys pension in mUutniy payments
sufficient 20 give them three square
meals q day?
Think about them when you are
awake, dream of the old boys that
opened Frances glorious golden por-
tails, for Lee, Jackson and Hampton
to enter, and while honoring their
sons and grandsons, don't let their
daddies starve. Thirty five dollars
year is far from being q kings ran
som, much less to feed and clothe one
old veteran. You may say there is a
soldiers home for the INDECENT old
boys. Sure enough, also there is
death chamber in State prison; they
are equal in their results. The pris-
oner goes out to his death, the old
soldier to his grave, with no one to
shed tear or breathe a sigh in his
behalf. Make his last days worth
living and this proud old Palmetto
State that never faltered in doing its
whole duty surely can rescue many
OF the afflicted heroes OF the sixties
from want of a square meal each day
Of their lives.

QUARANTINE RULES MODIFIED
Board of Health ReOpens Public
Places Under Certain Re-
strictions.

At a meeting of the local board
of health held on the End inst. it
was decided that the influenza situa-
ton had improved to such an ex-
tent that the quarantine rules could
be modified.
1t was decided that the public
schools might open on Tuesday morn
ing for full work, under certain re-
trictions; that the churches might
be allowed to hold morning services
only for the present. That the NOV
ing picture theatres might hold after
noon performances in we'll ventilated
buildings. 1t was ordered that each
and every doctor be required to re-
port to- the city clerks office daily
all cases he had visited and pronoun-
ced as influenza, and that the town
officials should then cause to be plac-
ed on such homes a placard adver-
tising the fact that there was influ-
enza in that house, and that no men,
Der of that family should be allowed
to attend school, church or any other
place of public gathering. 1t was Or
dered that the superintendent, prin-
cipals, or teachers of all schools in
the town, or within the limits of
the jurisdiction of the local Board of
Health, should allow no child to at
tend school from the homes where
influenza prevailed; that in case a
pupil was absent from school for a
period of as much as two days the
case should be reported to the city
clerks office so that the case might
be investigated and the home quaran-
tined if necessary. 1t was ordered
that the town authorities be instruct
ed, where such cases were reported,
and no report had been made by a
physician, to send a doctor to such
homes to make an investigation in
order that the quarantine be put in
force on that home, if necessary. 1t
was requested that the citizens of
the town and community cooperate
with the local board in reporting any
new or suspicious cases in their COM
munity, in order that the same might
be investigated at once.
1t was ordered that the six o'clock
closing hour for all stores, offices
and other public places, be kept in
force for the present, with the ex-
ception Of the drug stores, which may
be kept open for the sale Of medi-
cines, or medical supplies only-no
soft drinks may be served after 6
p. m.
The Board of Health feels that the
town is to be congratulated that the
situation has been kept as near nor
NAL as it has, while other towns in
this section, who have been more lax
with their quarantine laws have had
recurrence of influenza. 1t Is hop
ed that every citizen will feel it his
duty to cooperate with the local
authorities to keep the situation well
in hand.
w. E. CALDWELL,
Chairman Board of Health.
