My friend has treated two cases
OF typhus fever. ! have never seen
a case Of that ancient malady,
which was probably the cause of
the plague Of Athens and which
under the name OF ship fever and
Jail fever followed the advance OF
civilization for thousands Of years.
We seldom Sc 1t now IN North
America because We are on the
whole a clearly people and it is
spread mostly by lice. with the rat
as reservoir. The American
army has been entirely free from
II, however, because we used vac
cination against It on all the
troops. The only cases seen at this
hospital were two-one in a soldier
who had evaded vaccination some
way, and the other in an officer Of
a merchant marine vessel.
The British did not Il vac
cine at first, and lost many men in
Africa until they woke up and be-
gan universal vaccination The
Arabs suffer from it terribly. In
a village near the hospital one
family was completely wiped out.
Exposure to the disease is un-
Avoidable for the American troops
The Arabs are all covered with
lice and it is necessary to shake
hands with them, if you want to
get anything out of them like a
little extra food, etc.
Another condition that few
American physicians have been
familiar with and which is com
mon in Africa is malaria. The
American troops stay protected by
taking atabrine - four tablets
weekly. Whenever n man leaves
off his atabrine for a week, he
comes down with chill. My doc
tor friend takes his atsbrine faith
fully and said he would have a
blood examination made but he lie
afraid to look at it.
The sulfa drugs continue to pro-
duce miracles. This | hear also
from doctors in American camps.
There were no deaths in the Afri-
can hospital in over 300 cases Of
pneumonia. That is indeed mirac-
ulous. Bacillary dysentery also
yields promptly. There is tremen-
dous reduction Of bone and tissue
infections from ordnance action.
Ulcer OF the Stomach
A curious feature is that so many
soldiers come down with ulcer
Of the stomach per cent of all
admissions to the hospital. Ii does
seem to prove what many doctors
have claimed for long time-that
ulcer Of the stomach comes from
emotional reactions. 1t is easy to
imagine there must be plenty Of
such reactions at the battle front,
and being away from home and
probably irregular eating, and
perhaps eating under circum-
stances that could hardly be called
calming.
"The shell shock cases are still
with us writes my cOrrespon-
dent. They form large class of
admissions: truly pathetic, and
altogether different from any
thing | ever saw in civilian life"

Sports Writer Cited
For Contempt Action
Circuit Judge Imposes Fine
Of 5000 Or 10 Days

LUDOWICI, Ca. Oct. g. -
Judge Mel Price of the Atlantic
superior court circuit reported to-
day he had ordered Jack Troy,
sports editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, to pay a 5000 fine or
serve 20 days in Jail on charge
of contempt of court.
Judge Price said that after Troy
failed to appear in court today in
answer to a summons he had di-
rected the sheriff of Mcintosh coun-
ty TO "send for him.
The contept charge grew out
of a statement in Troy's column
on September 20 in connection
with case pending in Mcintosh
county, Judge Price said.
The Mcintosh case involved
court action against the state game
and fish commission by fishermen
seeking to restrain enforcement OF
certain regulations.

SIGHTED FOR 1913
100000 Bales Expected
In State Due To Unfa-
yorabIe Weather

RALEIGH, Oct. g. (R North
Cardinals cotton crop now IS ex-
pected to produce 100000 bales this
wear, compared with 727,O00 bales

of 6O6,OoO bales, Henry G. Brown,
crop reporter for the State De-
partment of Agriculture, said to-
day:
Quoting prospects as Of October
l. Brown said that the nation as
whole would probably produce
II 478. 900 bales, reduction of
about 2O1 1000 bales from last year.
Brown SAID that indications now
point to a yield of about 1863 pounds
of lint cotton per acre in this staff,
% pounds less than was anticl-
pated on September l and 43
pounds less than the Az pound
yield recorded last year.
Heavy July rains followed by
dry weather during August a d
much of September caused consld-
cradle shedding. prohibited the de-
velopment of late top bolls, and
interfered with maximum maturl'
ty of lower bolls, Brown said. He
added that weevil activity w a
heavier than last year, resulting
in prospective loss OF much lint.
Brown said that $4,000 bales OF
the current crop had been ginned

JOB STATEMENTS
MUST Be GIVEN
State, County And City
Employees Only Ones Ex-
empted From Rule

With the exception Of state,
county, and city employees any per-
son employed on any job, whether
it be an essential or non-essentlal
industry, must get statement OF
availability from the local en-
ployment bureau before leaving a
position and present the same when
being employed for a new job, .
said Felix A. Scroggs, manager
of the Wilmington branch of the
U. S. Employment Service, Friday.
The United States is divided into
IL regions, but sterilization rules
are basically the same in all re-
gions. About 20 letters come to the
Wilmington office daily from per-
sons who have left here without
first obtaining their availability
cards. If they would get these be-
fore leaving the city, it would save
time and manpower.
Both employers and employees
are very cooperative and are do
ing their best to follow regula-
tons" continued Mr.. Scroggs.
"Most violations are through mis-
understanding. All employers rea-
Oily agree to correct faults brought
to their attention. Locally In es-
sential industries things are work
ing smoothly.
1.-The greater amount OF contts
sion comes from migrants Who fail
to get their inter-area statement OF
availability"
Releases from present jobs are
given in only four cases, mainly:
l. Discharged through no fault
of his own.
2. Not being used full work week,
40 hours.
3. Has higher skill not being
used.
4. Compelling personal reasons;
such as, injurious to health, ell
dangering life, etc.
A worker must remain on the
job until his release is comole.ed.
