C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER9,12 C FOUR MEMBERS Of FAMILY ARE DEAD Baby and Its Father Rushed to The Hospital POISONING IS SUSPECTED? -Physicians Believe Acute Case of Malaria Affects Humans and Stock. Allendale, Nov. 8.-One of the most mysterious affairs ever occurring in this county came to light this morn ing when the fourth member of the family of Joe ce, a constable of a magistrate living at Beldoc, a town about four miles from here, succumb. ed to a mysteridus illness last night. Previous to the death of the wife of Mr. Lee last night three of the child ren of the family had died, all within less than a week. The only members of the family now alive are a four months old baby and Mr. Lee, himself. Mr. Lee was taken to the University Hospital in Augusta, Ga., this morn ing upon advice of physicians who are unable to diagnose the case to their satisfaction. An inquest was held over the body of Mrs. Lee this morning and the vital organs of the woman sent to the State laboratory for analysis. The peculiarity of the affair lies in the fact that every member of the family has been affected the same way. In addition to this, it is reported that all the livestock around the home of Mr. Lee has been affected. Two boys have died. All the poultry have died and the cow, has been vomiting for two days. The facts, together with other circumstances, have brought out the opinion in this section that- the family has in some way been so pe culiar that the poison theor yhas es tablished some credence among them and the stomach of one of the victims was cut out and sent on Wednesday to the laboratory of the State Board of Health for examination. The board further has been re quested to send to the $cene an expert to examine the source the probability of the poisoning theory. This in all probability will be done and a correct diagnosis of the case be in hand in a few days. One physician in attendance on the fon1ily went so far as to ad mit that the symptoms in all the cases were alipost identical to those. evident in arsenic. The theory of poisoning is given further credence by the fact that the victims themselves firmly be lieve that such is the case and go further and state that the poisoning is the result of foul play. It seems that Allr. Lee or some member of his family had had a difficulty with a nearby neighbor and there was bad blood between them. Lee voluntarily gave the name of the person he sup poses to have conmi)itted the crime, alleged. So far no act ion has been taken of ficially, (e to an utter lack of evi dence. Lee seems to think and the peculiar circumstances arising form the death of the livestock about the Place bears this out in a way, that the well, from which the supply of water was taken, had been poisoned. It is for the purpose of examining the wa ter i the (-vell and to look into other pecuhar circumstances surrounding the strange (eath of the victims, that the presence Of an expert from the State board has been requested. While all three of the physicians so far called imto the case cling to the hypothesis that acute malaria is the cause of the deaths, there is an ol vious doubt in all their minds that the poisonig theory is not, altogether impossible. 1Every effort will, of course, he made to clear the mystery of the affair up. It was said to have been a most (istressing sight to have seen the dead b-dies of the three chil dIren lying side by side and the mother :fid father lying at the point of death.

There is no cleaner or lianlier sport than foot ball. It calls for quick thinking, quick acting, plenty of grit, perservance and physical endurance. The foot ball stars both in high schools and col leges deserve all the praise that is bestowed on them.\ I- didn't start out to write a disser tation on foot ball, however, but to oall attention to tle foot that our boys are going to play the Conway High School team here next Friday after noon, November 11th. This is a holi day and we should all tufh out and give the boys a boost. It costs money to bring the Conway team here and I imaginq the treasury of the local team needs replenishing. Our boys have won exactly half the games they have played this season, which is a fine record for a first year team. They are determined to add another game to their string of victories Fri lay afternoon. Let's all turn out help them win. If you don't understand the game, come anyway. You can find sonic one to explain the main points, and you will never learn the game except by seeing it played. Let me add that I am not connected with the school or the foot ball teani and this is written without the know ledge of the coach or any member of the team. I have admired the earnest and enthusiastic work of Coach Rich ards and the boys and I am anxious that we should give them the encouragement and support they de "Observer."

BANKS STlILL HAVE 0 PLFNTY Of WHEAT SE( The continued fine weather foi planting small grain- has moved 1 d very considerable amount of wheni from our stock in the past week, Th( three Banks of Manning, however de. ?- sire to advise their friends and patrom s. that they still have an ample suppl5 on hand for distribution. The three Banks feel very muell n gratified at the liberal response being ,x made to their appeal for more food crops, and from present indications wi th the advent of another harves - we will -be in much better position tc w take care of ourselves in the matter ol food supply than for some t:me past With plenty of provisions in our coi it munity there can not be much priva, s, iton. a As our crops of cotton and tobacco ie neither of which can be used for home y consumption to any extent, seem to bc :e precarious money-getters at this time we are again urging our friends not to depend on them, only in the most a limited way. e The three Banks desire to urgc e their farmer friends to devote a? much attention as it is possible, tc raising stock for home use as well aE 7, food crops, particularly hogs. It iq well known that we are among the is largest consumers of pork and cured ,e meats per capita of any section in r. our big country. We have in the past . been one of the largest purchasers , from the West of these commodities 1. yet we have an abundance of land ad jacent to branches and water courses if fenced on which to pasture and raise hogs more than enough for our home k needs. If it is possible to do so fence I these lands and raise hogs, every home u grown hog will aid us in conserving our resources. u We trust that our continued advice o regarding the matter of providing d provisions for home consumption may e not prove offensive to our friends, but from information at hand relative to conditions in communities ravaged by the boll weevil we wish to assure them that it is a matter of vital importance to our future welfare. e MUtFFET-TH'IUMHl WEDDING The marriage of Little Miss Muf'fet and Mr. Tom Thumb 'was celebrated - at the Pastime Theatre last Friday s evening at eight o'clock.

Redi Ci Nov. 1i Hear the Call THE STORY OF THE DOLLAR A dollar rolled into my office the other day, sat down on- the edge of the desk and dubbed his silver face. "Well," he said wearily, "I've had a busy year. Gosh, but I'm glad yo;! didn't put me in the bank or pay me cut. on your car." "You'd better be glad you didn't go to pay the income tax" I responded coldly, "Where have you been all this time? Sit down and give an account of yourself." "I've been spending most of my time among the ex-service men," he admitted, "Do you know that in this country there are at present 26,000 ex-service men in hospitals served by the Red Cross? I have been visiting Often where there are 1,100 men suf fering and (lying of tuberculosis con tracted through the war, and Kenil worth where men lie year after year in plaster casts because of a bit of shrapnel in their spines and the Psy chiatric hospitals where the boys we sent away in 1917 screan) and rave and have to be behind b-rs till they (lie. Ten million of my dollar friends went to, help the ex-service man last year and through the Federal Board of Vocational Training we have help ed 80,000 ex-soldiers thrown out of work because of disability back into normal life. And 80,000 men repre sent at least 250,000 women and child ren dependent on them. Ali, no, the war isn't over by any means. In the hospitals and sanitariums it is still being fought." He paused a moment and stroked the E Pluribus Unum on his bro-w, then continued pensively, "Ah, yes, I've seen some strange things since you sent me away last year. I've been in seventy disasters in the Unit ed States alone-calamities like the San Antonio flood and the Oconee cyclone. I have stood with the doctor and the Red Cross nurse alone in cities laid waste by wind or earth quake and have heard the cries of the dying mingle with those of the liv ing for the dead. I have been with the Public Health nurse in little moun tain towns and in far remote places where she did everything from bath ing the new-born baby to burying the (lead. And I've been in Europe too, among Mr. Hoover's babies-and seen 3,500,000 little children saved to civill zation through the European Relief Council." "You have certainly earned a va cation," I assured him. "Do you want to spend a quiet life time in the Safe Deposit Vault or how about a few months in the baby's bank ? Either one is guarantee(l to be restful." The Dollar hesitated so long that I could see the eagle's feathers quiver. "If it's all the same to you I would rather keep on working,"l he explain ed thouightfully. "I can't do a whole lot of good as a gentleman o' leisure. Helping soldiers and feeding lying babies is much more in my line." "I wish they all felt the same way about it," I said as I pt him back on the Red Cross Roll Call.
