INDIA STARTS
BOYCOTT ON
BRITISH GOVT

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The pro.
gress OF the boycott movement OF the
native element In India against the
British Indian government is given
In reports from India reaching the
india information bureau here. The
reports state that since the boycott
began many natives have resigned
from offices under the government; (;
four colleges have closed as result
OF the agitation, with a growing stu.
dent-strike movement through the
country: and an almost complete boy
colt Is underway OF the government
elections scheduled to take place In

For the first time since the InauE-
uration OF the boycott. the British In
dian government has issued state
ment OF its attitude toward the move.
msnt, according to dispatches Just
received by the India bureau. The
statement says that no repressiye ac'
ton will be- taken by the government
for Il considers that such action
should be employed In the last re-
sort. when. indeed. failure to adopt
" would be n criminal betrayal OF
the people," The government has re-
| Trained from taking action against
those who advocate boycott OF the
government schools. the law court
and the legislative councils, for three
reasons, namely:
Reluctance to interfere with. the
liberty OF speech ana OF the press at
time when India y on the eve OF
IA great advance toward the relllEa'
tion OF responsible government.
Reluctance to make martyrs OF
individuals. some OF whom may be
honest in their convictions.
Trust that the common sense OF
India will reject the non-coopera'
ltion.'
The bureau states that the ma
tive element construes the statement
to mean that action will be taken to
repress the boycott on the slightest
outbreak OF violence or anything that
may be construed as such.

which he suggests may be due to
planetary disturbances. Noah Web
ster, being a reasonably thorough
man. as is evidenced by the sizabie
dictionary resulting from his effort
lin later life, left no stone unturned
to find out all that was known about
influenza in his day. He scrutinlzed
carefully the records of everything
looking like "flu" that had come
down during the preceding two
thousand years. Beginning with the
wear 1174, he discovered forty-four
appearances of the disease in cpl
demic form, of which, according to
The Sun and New York Herald, he
wrote:
1t is further to be observed that
some of these epidemics have been
limited to the American hemisphere
three, four, or five years from an
epidemic of the same kind in Europe.
Such as those of 1647-1655, which
coincide in time with violent earth
uuakes in South America.
In other instances this disease
spraad over the whole globe, usually
beginning in America, that is in the
instances of which can obtain any
correct information. Thus in four in
stances, viz, in 1898, 1857, 1861,
and 1881, it spread all over the
American hemisphere. And the uni
vcrsal catarrh of 1888, which en-
circled the globe, commenced in
America two months before it ap-
peared in Europe The epidemic of
1882 invaded Europe from the side
of Asia the year after it appeared in
America. In 1888 the influenza in
Europe preceded the same disease in
America.
The present epidemic in this coun-
try was first noticeable in Chicago
and the surrounding district. This
caused some surprise, but if Web
ster's theories are correct, it seems

natural for "tlu' g &..art in the IT,
terror of the country. And VIC read:
The epidemic in America in 1888
began in the Middle States and
spread southwark and eastward. In
1870 it began in about the same
Longitude, but in the interior coun-
try, and spread eastward and south
ward.
The influenza of 1882 in Europe
came from Asia. Possibly it might
have travelled from America, across
the Pacific to China, as it was cpl
demic in America in 1881.
In November, 1877, the influenza
Invaded all parts of the country SO
suddenly and severely that neighbors
could not visit each other, and that
there were scarcely people in health
to perform the ordinary domestic
labors necessary to support life"
The loss of life from the various
influenza epidemics was tremendous
and Webster included charts record
ing the number of deaths and burials
in New York, Philadelphia, Hartford
New Haven, and other cities For in
stance, he records 337 burials ''in
Episcopal Church, New York" and
100 in 'the Presbyterian Church"
during 1889, the period of one Of

ABBEV|LLE COUNTY
TEACHERS MEET
Association of Abbeville County
Teachers To Be Formed Here
March Sixth.

The Abbeville county association
of teachers is going to be resurrected
if the plans of County Superintend,
ent Will J. Evans and City Superin-
tendent ]. D. Fulp materialize. Alb
beville being one of the few counties
in the state with no association OF
teachers at all, Supt. Fulp, after con-
ferring with Supt. Evans has, with
the authority of the latter, addressed
the following letter to each teacher
in Abbeville county:
eve feel that you will agree with
US when we say that it is nothing
short of a shame that Abbeville coun-
ty does not have a thoroughly pro-
gressive teachers association.
"There is no need to enter into a
discussion of the merits of such an
organization for every teacher in this
county realizes that when the body
of county teachers stands for pro-
gressive ideas in educational lines
thew are able to exert tremen-
dous influence for better schools, bet
ter communities, and a better county.
These ideals can be attained only by
an organized body.
"With the sole purpose in view OF
organizing a real live association
wont you please assemble yourselves
in the court house at Abbeville at
2 p. M, Saturday, March 9Th?
sMr. Lueco Gunter, state supervis-
or of rural schools, will address the
teachers assembled and Erskine col
lege has promised to have a repre-
sentative here.
"County superintendent of educa-
ton W. J. Evans heartily endorses
the organization of the county teach
ers and urges each one Of you to be
present the first Saturday afternoon
in March,"
"Iron sharpeneth iron," and it
must be recognized that each teacher
who attends the meetings of the as
sociation cannot help but be bene-
fitted.

United States must continue Fer some
time to take a leading part in recon-
struction work On every hand there
are indications that it will be impos-
sible for those nations to produce the
food and provide the work to sustain
their several populations without our
aid.
Beyond the question of mere sus-
tenance is the still greater one of
getting their productive and distribu-
tive forces organized upon basis
which, taking into consideration
changed conditions throughout the
world, will insure the revival and
continuance of their prosperity. The
United States alone of all the nations
in the world is in a position now to
make an appreciable effort toward
giving such assurance to Europe.
The United States is the only nation
from which Europe expects such as
sistance to come. Moreover, our own
prosperity and the maintenance of
the industrial and financial strength
to which our country attained during
the war are inextricably bound up
with the revival of prosperity in
Europe. We moved long since past
the point where we could even con-
slider the possibility of economic self
sufficiency.

Electric Disturbances, Not Germs,

What flu is and why it had puzzled
men long before the devastating cpl

America in the late summer and fall

wenty years ago Noah Webster
made a pains-taking study of the

restential diseases" inspired thereto,
S he himself says, by "the preva-
lence of the catarrh, commonly
called influenza, in the years 1889
and co.. Webster published the
Jesuit of his Investigations in two
volumes of over $50 pages each The
most remarkable thing contained in
hese books, of which but har1ful
are now in existence is the theor.- ad-

is not due to inFection, but, is "evi-
