DENcUE FEVER is A
VERY ANCIENT DISEASE

Dengue fever. Where does i'll
come from! This question is often
heard these days when here and
there and yon friend or relative is
heard of as having come under its
grip. The slang term for the fever
is "broken bone" fever.
The word "Dengue" means "dan-
dy" and was first applied in its native
countries from the "dandy" or stiff
and erect posture of those afflicted.
The disease is an old one. Oddly
enough it originated, it is believed,
in the same country as Spanish in
fluenza. Dengue fever was observed
in Spain as early as 1854 or '65. IN
1870 to '81 it was epidemic in Spain,
India and the United States, accord
ing to medical journals. In 1928 it
was epidemic in Charleston, S. c., and
the West Indies, and in 1850 the
same prevailed in South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas, all southern States. Medical
men declare that it is necessarily q
tropical fever, as is indicated by the
southern climates it is most frequent
in,
In 1870, it is reported, another
epidemic spread over India, and Eas
Africa and Java, reaching the Gu"
states of America in the late portion
Of 1873. Over 10000 cases were re
ported in the city of New Orleans il.
that year.
Symptoms OF the disease are chills,
general aching of the bones and
swelling of the joints with severe
corporal pains. 1t is accompanied by
rose rash and prostration. 1t is
rarely fatal and of short duration.
Physicians ascribe its inception to
the bite of a mosquito, much the
same. as malaria.
Those afflicted are said to believe
the first day that they will die, and
the second day to fear that they
won't-Spartanburg Journal.

FISH TOPPLES OUT
OF TREE. RABBIT
FOUND SWIMMING

Fish that topple out Of tree tops
and rabbits that are fished out Of
deep water holes, these are two of
the phenomena of Cornaca Creek as
witnessed yesterday afternoon by
Alderman J. w. Spearman of Ward
Five, Secretary w. A. Freddy, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Clyde
Keller, local garage owner. The con-
dition of the three who saw the
strange sight was perfectly normal
with all the sobriety that bebooves
officials of the city. And what they
saw is not hoax but cold facts, so
Alderman Spearman swears and calls
upon his compecrs 10 coroborate.
The three son Of Nhnroi went
a-hunting yesterday afternoon and
wandered into the wilds of Cornaca
Creek. Au.tu.og was their quarry
but they had specific designs upon
rabbits. When Alderman Spearman
saw bunny disporting himself in
pool of water, and practicing the lat
est bunny strokes in swimming he
was surprised at the sport of his
game but not too surprised to take
deadly aim and bring to an end the
career of the sportive rabbit.
The swimming propensities of the
rabbit caused a bit of comment but
when the doughty alderman fired
through a squirrel nest in the top OF
tall oak and catfish, almost elbow
length fell out, his mouth flew
open and he said something
that might have been
81 swan," but it wasn't. Since that
time, the hunters three have been
puzzled. The fish was dead when it
hit the ground but it was only re.
Gently dead. Whether the fish had
been carried there by hawk or pos
sum is beyond the ken of the trio.
Perhaps the catfish of Cornaca
Creek have been so bedevilled by
fisherman that they are developing
into climbers and are seeking refuge
in the trees, is the aldermanic theory.
1t is very queer, to hunt among the
wilds of Cornaca, the three are GER
tain.-Index-Journal (Greenwood) .

WHY THE POOR
MAN PAYS MORE

One of the pearls of village wisdom
that made an impression upon me in
my early days was this-"There is
nothing quite so expensive as being
hard up"
It's fact that the man with a
slim or negative bank balance not
only buys what he buys in the most
expensive way, but that his time is
continually wasted and his thoughts
diverted by arguments with people
who want money.
A comfortable bank balance gives
a man command of his own time,
helps him to buy economically, and in
general, does for his business what
a fly-wheel does for an engine or a
stand-pipe for water works
system.-Exchange.

DESTROY THE WEEVIL's
WINTER RESORTS

Clemson College, Nov.4.-"The
earlier cotton stalks and other hi
bernating places are destroyed"
says Prof. A.F.Conradi, entomologist,
in discussing the boil weevil control,
the fewer weevils will survive the
the winter. In infested fields it is
common to find weevils at the rate
of 5000 to $4,000 per acre at the time
OF first frost. 1t is q well known
fact," Prof. Condradi explains, "that
the weevils developing late in the fall
are the ones most likely to survive
the winter, as they are not worn out
by long flights and rearing the young,
as are the older weevils. For this
reason development of the weevils
in late fall must be prevented as the
first step in making the next crop.
An interesting point in this connec-
ton is the fact that experiments in
Louisiana showed that when cotton
stalks were detroyed before October
10, only per cent of the weevils sur
vived the winter, whereas destruction
OF stalks on October 81 allowed is
per cent to survive; Nov. 25, 22 per
cent; Dec. 27, 20 per cent; between
Dec. Is and Jan. Is, 43 percent. 1t
is clear, therefore that the earlier the
stalks are destroyed the more effec-
tive the results will be but that where
early destruction is impossible it is
better late than never.
The planting of winter cover crop
In the present cotton fields is also
urged as a most important means of
weevil destruction since weevils can
not live through the winter in a grow
ing cover crop such as rye oats and
vetch or clover for the reason that
In order to survive the winter the Wee
vii must "dry out" to the extent of
losing one-third of his body moisture
and this he can not do in q field
where cover is growing. Cotton
stalks not plowed under to a cover
crop should be cut to pieces and
thrown to the ground as early as pos
sible by a stalk cutter so that they
may be covered by the growing cover
crop and thus absorb moisture which
means death to the weevil.
Still another step which should be
taken now is the cleaning up of ditch
banks, fence rows and other places
where rubbish and trash accumulate
In and around the fields.
