SI lu lling facts are disclosed in ;tho ! ..port of Dr. It. G. Beachley, health officer for Dillon' county concerning the ravages of typhoid fever in the county. Dr. Beachley states that there are now known to be 22 cases of typhoid fever in Dillon county and .several deaths from ihe disease have been reported. Among the many instances related by the health officer to show the ef ficiency of inoculation as a preventa tive of the fever one of the most vivid in the following: On a plantation near Dillon all the tenants were vac cinated against typhoid but one'fam ily who refused to take the free treat ment. Typhoid broke out in that family and five members of it died a\; a result. Another interesting case from the standpoint of testing the efficiency of the vaccine is that of a young man living between here and Latta.' There was fever in a family across the way using the same water supply and all the other members of the young man's family except him self were inoculated. The young man refused and*? is "seriously ill with typhoid fever. Why sane people will refuse to take advantage of the opportunity to get absolute immunity free of charge is more than Dr. Beachley can under stand, he states, and he says that many planters are unable to prevail on their tenants to take the treat ment. He asks that every citizen with the interests of the county at heart use every opportunity to spread the sentiment in favor of inoculation l)r. Beachley reports that the eltn the corps from the state health de ies held over the- county last week by par Client with thfiir big truck was n complete success.?

In these degenerate days, when to be sentimental u to be Hilly, and wheu we boast thut we do not "wear our hearts on our sleeves," .the art of writing a love letter worthy of the name la In it anger of being altogether lost, says Loudon Answers. TTiO letter of today Is, with rare ex ceptions. ? -mere business' missive," with lew of the hopes and tears, the heart throbs, the "splendid sentUuorits and rare, sweet raptures" that a mod ern lover feels Just us much as his predecessors did. ln^ former dnys'lt was a man's pride and pleasure to pour out his very* soul un paper. In ardent homage to the lady of ills choice. On such of his letters as survive, though their pages are yel* , low and the Ink faded, the words still burn with the tenderness and passion that Inspired them. Thus, In one of the letters of .lohn Churchill. the great duke of Marl* borough, to 8 a rah Jennings, we read : "1 do lovo and adore you with all my heart und soul ? so much that I do and will ever be better pleased with ; your happiness than ifcy own. But ? oh, my soul I ? If we might both be happy, what Inexpressible Joy that would be! 1 will not dare to expect more favors than you sihall see flt to five me; but, could you lovo mo, I think the happiness would be so great that It would make me immortal." Keats also was a great lover. He wrote to Fanny Brawne: "I never knew before what such a love as you have made mo feel was; I did not be lieve In It ; my fancy was afraid of It, lest It should burn me up. I would sever see anything but pleasure In your eyes, love on your llpjs and happi ness In your steps. "My dear girl, I love you ever and ?ver und without reserve. The more I have known the more have I loved. Even my Jealousies have been agonies, of love; In the hottest flt I have ever had I would have died for you. The last of your kisses was ever the sweetest, the last smile the brightest, the Inst movement the gracefullest." William Haxlltt's love letters, too, have the authentic noXe. lie wrote te Sarah Walker: "When I think of ths thousand of enduring caresses that have passed between us I do not won der at the strong attachment that draws me to you. I hear the wind sigh through the lattice, and keep repeat ing over and over to myself two lines of Byron's tragedy : 80 shalt thou And me ever at thy side. Here and hereafter, If the lant may be. applying them to thee, my love, and thinking whether I shall ever see thee again. Perhaps not? for some years at least, till both thou and I are old 1 and then, when all else have forsaken thee I will creep to thee and die in thy arms." These are a few extracts only from the letters of long-dead lovers, whose delight it was to pour out their very souls to the ladles whom they loved. Who cau doubt that they were read and treasured with a Joy which ths careless, cold-blooded letters of ths modern lover can never inspire? China'* U$e of Opium It Is believed that Arabs Introduced the use of opium Into China In the Fifteenth century. It reached^ India almultaneously. A Chinese author states that It was linder the Ming dynasty, which reigned from 1818 to 1044, that the use became general of "the pill called Elixir of Gold which, used to excess, results in detriment to the health." At that time the opium consumed In China was grown In the country Itself; when the habit of smoking became widespread, China began to import . considerable quanti of oplftfn from India. The tobac co of the Philippines had been Intro duced Into China In 1G20, and It is only since the Eighteenth century that the custom has become general of smoking the crude opium, Instead of the tobacco impregnated wltk opium originally used by the Inhab itants of Java and Formosa.

(irecnviHe, S. Aug. 2. Passing of a,. suite law requiring all motorists to have a license granted by the state, this to hi* suspended or toi feited in tin* event the driver is found guilty of transporting whiskey, is advocated by J. K. Marshall, for the past three and a half years assistant district attorney for the Western IMotriit of South Carolina. V '? Mr. Marshall, who is a native o i Virginia, but has been in this state for a number of years, leaves today for Washington to be special attorney in the bureau of the solicitor of the bureau of internal .revenue, 1 Public sentiment, crystallizing in a demand that the legislature pass such a law, wijl do much to enforce the prohibition law, Mr. Marshall said. "1 have given the subject of prohibit enfoivenu nt much thought; during the time I have been connected with the office Of the dis trict attorney. ? At the conclusion of about three and a half years of service I am con vinced that the taking away of n man's privilege on the highway will do more than anything else to bring about a higher regard for the prohi bition laws and to aid government officials in its enforcement." Briefly, Mr, Marshall thinks the legislature could aid the prohibition cause by passing a low requiring all persons who drive all automobiles to have a license granted by the state. In the event any person is convicted, either in state or United States court of transporting whiskey, the state would have the right to take away this person's license for a specified period. Mr. Marshall thinks if this license "Were annullel for a period of two or three years it would be i powerful factor in the enforcement of prohibition. "I believe a man would value the privilege of driving an automobile s > highly that whether he was an ordi nary transporter of whiskey or a citizen who merely wanted his pint, he would think twice before violating the law." plan new national PARK Would Be Established Near Ander son in This* State.

The presort ation of wild life of the four states wi.'ll be another object in the formation of the nation al park, it is said. L. IV Mctiill, president of tho Georgia National Park committee, has wr-itU n to lUirwin Heed, former i member of the Andersoi\ 'county dele | Ration to the state legislature, in re g'ard tn tin- matter. Mr, McGill stated that the area included in South Carolina will be that portion of the state, north of the line running east of - the Georgia boundary line north of Walhalla and turning north near Table Hock, extending into North Carolina. A plea will be made to chambers of commerce in the four states to ? place the matter before citizens and members of the state legislature and national congress, it is Said, in order that public support may be given tho movement to create the new national park. Anderson would be the nearest large city in South Carolina to the park, and thousands of tourists would be expected to <come through here entente to the new reservation.
