County Officials to Koop "Open Rec ords"-As to Insurance. Columbia, May 5. -. Companion acts requiring county officials to koop open records of all moneys rocolvod by them, and providing penalties for failuro to comply, whether in salary or feos, which wore passed by tho last General Assembly, were signed to-day by Governor Cooper. "Each county official," reads one of the acts, "shall bo required to pur chase and keep in his oiflco. open to public inspection during office hours, a book In which shall be kept an itemized account of all moneys re ceived by him. or due to him as sal ary, fees or costs, or in any other manner paid to him for his services by virtue of Ilia office: Provided, that nothing heroin contained shall be construed to require any officor to demand tho payment of his fees and costs in advance. At tho close of each fiscal year, when so required by the Senator of such county, or a ma jority of the Representatives of said county, such county officor shall transmit an itemizod copy of said ac count, under oath, to the office of County Supervisor, or with the Coun ty Commissioners in any county where there is no Supervisor, and 'shall transmit a copy thereof lo the Senator and each member of the Hotise ot Representatives from said county on or before tho 10th of Jan uary, ensuing. The County Supervi sor, in ndidtlon to other books kopt in bis office, shall keep a separate book, in which he shall enter upon hts books tho total amount of each account furnished, opposite the name of tho pfficer furnishing the said ac count, and file the account in bis office as other county records are kept." The other act provides that any county officer failing to comply with tho provisions of tho foregoing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $r>0 nor more than $2 00, or bo imprisoned not less than two nor more than six months In the .county jaif, or either or both, In the discretion of tho trial judge. Insuring School Buildings. Another act signed to-day was that allowing tho insuring of school build ings in mutual insuranco companies. This was intended to allow rural mu tual fire insuranco companies placing risks on such classes of property, but through error in tho engrossing de partment, where a negative was loft out of the act, tho provisions of tho law apply only to Incorporated towns and cities, diametrically opposlto to what was Intended. The act,which is very short, reads: "That tho law in reference to the insuranco of public buildings within tho State shall remain as now pro vided by law,, except as hereinafter provided, to-wit: The trustees of any school district may insure school buildings located within Incorpo rated cities and towns in any mutual insurance company or association do ing business under tho laws of the Sti>te." Thc act should have read, "may insure school buildings not located In Incorporated towns and cltios." DEATH RATTLE CW CALOMEL IN SOUTH.

"PASSING UV ON TIIIO .J? .J. OTHER SIDE." 4? (Tho State, April 30.)* Five years ago, after tho Gorman horde had overrun Rolgium, tho houri of tho American* poople was touchod ns lt hud not hoon beforo and our country became tho Good St) marl tan to thc bravo little nation, stricken almost to death because lt would not yield Its Fonor. How food, clothing and medicino by ship load upon ship load for tho sorrow ing and suffering people were gath ered and sent all of us remember, ai:d we romombor how to romotest parts of this country went the news of Belgian misfortune to stir re sponse, in the form of somo gift, in millions of families, rich and poor. Then tho United States entered tho war, turned its mighty energies to tho effort that in less than two years victory crowned. What since then? H. P. 'Davison, a membor of tho Morgan banking house of Now York, is chairman of the board of gover nors and therefore ox-ofTlcio tho head of tho League of Red Cross socie ties, comprising all the Red Cross societies in tho world, except those of tho Central Powers. He has late ly returned from a sojourn of two months in Europe, spent in the in vestigation of conditions, and wc quote a few-only a few-of the Tacts ho brought home. "In Austria, according to a re port dated February 12, there wore in Vienna rations for threo weeks, Peoplo wore apathetic, fatalistic and tired, and thero was an epidemic ol dancing. One dance was attended by 4,000 persons, half of whom had had no dinners. Refusing to gc homo, they danced until exhausted Ono bund rod thousand school child ren wore underfed and diseased af a rosult of food shortage, lack ot fuel and Inadoquato hospital facili ties. "In Hungary conditions In Buda post, tho capital, wore similar t( Uioso in Vienna, though not quito sc severe. Of 160,000 school childrei enrolled In tho public schools 100,001 wero dopendent on public charity ?They lacked not only food and cloth lng, but in many casos their mentall ty was menaced, and they are to bi the fathers and mothers of tho next to-be-born generation. One bundrei and fifty thousand workers wer Idle lu tho city; there wero 30,00* widows and war invalids and 30, 0 00 sick and disabled old poople wlv were a charge on tho State. "In Czecko-Slovakla the shelves 0 the pharmacies aro bare and tho sutj ply of drugs is not being roplenlshe because of tho low value of tho nu tional currency. Typhus has ar poured in ouch of tho four countrie comprising the republic, along wit smallpox, and there ls a lack c linen, medicines, soon and phys clans. "In Rumania tuberculosis is spre?c lng in nu alarming manner, makin its appearance everywhere, both 1 cities and country districts. "In Serbia there ls said to bo onl 2 00 doctors for the entire countr; SO per cent of tho physicians bavin lost their lives during the wa Areas with ."j0,000 to 60,000 peopl aro practically without medical cai or supervision. Typhus has broke out again, the infection being sprea rapidly by Russian refugees seekin safety in Serbia from tho advancin Bolshevlkl forces. Many of thee refugees have typhus and none is fre from the typhus carrier. "In Montenegro there Is not ov< four or five doctors for an estimate population of 4f>0,000. One are where 70,00 0 poople live has or doctor, anjl he has no facilities f< getting about. Food is runnlr short, and between ?.OOO and 8,0C children have to be fed dally. "In Albania conditions are sim lar, that of tho children being d plorable. "In tho Baltic States there ai reports of an opidemic of typhus ii volving Esthonia, wtih about Iii 000 cases of tho disease. Foo clothing and transportation a acutely lacking. "In Armenia the known distre and destruction aro beyond desert tlon." Again from an artlclo printed Tho World, of New York, last Su day: "Such ls tho picture of conditio in tho spring of this yoar of 0 Lord one thousand nine hundred ai twenty-according to the Inform Hon gathored by Mr. Davison duri: a two month's stay overseas, who he joined in conference with repi sentutives of twenty-seven nntioi Wostern Europe ls recovering frr the catastrophe of the war. But t whole central and eastern region spiritually, physically, financial industrially, socially, politically 1 solvent. lt is bereft of everythi . humanity needs, from monev through health to hope. Moro th . 200,000,000 people, spread over area of moro than 2,.r>00,000 squr : milos- two-thirds of geographh . I'm rope, and half of Its peoplo-? . involved in tho disaster. Only . the concerted aid of tho outs! ) world can they hope to get on th t. feet again." t Again, from an address delivoi 1 by Mr. Davison in Now York sh bis roi urn: "Any voluntary aid, to become 1 fectlve, can only follow the provis . of such essentials as food, clotli - and transportation, which must t glvon if tho pooples arc to llvo ? - bo restored to a condition of si r support, and tho need of which ls 0 vast that lt can not bo givon by \ i, untary organizations, but must supplied by governments. Upon suranco from the League of Natl that food, clothing and transpoi Hon will bo supplied by governmoi 0 tho Leaguo of Red Cross Socio n shall at onco formulate plans for 1 immediato oxtonslon of voluntary r lief within tho affected districts, i, pealing to tho peoples of the wo r through the Red Cross organlzatlc k for doctors, nurses and other net 0 sary personcl, medical supplios. d , foodstuffs, and such money as r, - bo required. "Wo aro going to find out that can no more escape the. Influence of the European situation of to-day than wore were able to escape the war itsolf. You can not have one half of tho world starving and the other half eating. We must help put Europe on Its feet or we must participate in Europe's misery. We lind ourselves the only country pos sossed ?f many of tho supplies tyhich Europe needs, and which cannot' he purchased or given in sufficient volume on credit. Aa a nation wo should at onco arrange io place with in tho reach of tho an peoples that which thoy need to save them and start them on their way to recovery. The situation' has developed so far and so seriously that there ls no possibility of Us being met in any other wuy." What since tho armistice? What uro we Americans thinking about? There are twenty Belgiums' in Eu rope now-twenty times as much territory devastated and -twenty I times as many people in destitution ns made the Belgium of 1915 move to pity the human heart of America. We aro concerning ourselves with money, with prouts, with getting and getting more of it, with polities, with the eloction of a President and Congress, with party platforms while 200,000,000 children, men and women, starve and may die, while | whole nations stagger and fall and rot. We have shut our eyes and stopped our ears since the armistice. Wo refuse to think on these things, and vaguely salve our consciences with the notion that somehow there will be rocovery In Europe, that '.'the war is over," that "all is well"* be cause the guns are hushed; that, if it is not, a miracle will be wrought; that our part has been done, that the agony and the terror are far away, on some other star j that we may breathe the air with freedom, and with no sin upon our souls for got! We aro "passing by on the other sido." We may not decolvo ourselves. Tho relationship of the nation to na tions is the relationship of the man to men. Tho United States is as close to Serbia, to Hungary, to Po land, as ever the Levlte was to the traveler who lay blooding by tho road. s In all the length ano) breadth of this Republic, and before Its millions of men and women, ls not one prob lem, not one cause, not one duty, so immediate, so pressing as is-Eu rope! We can not abandon entirely our usual courses. We must keep our own country going. But-We can not. save lt alone. That lt shall flourish a healthy spot on a putrid globe could bo none but a fool's dream. I The strongest American, and of (all of them the truest friend of Iiis country, is ho who can arouse tts I ! opuses, dulled with seltlshness andi In j Imagined security, to perceive again j tho need - of Europe and turirHtah I countrymen to saving half of Euro ie ! from a death bed, even as they were ! led In armies to save half of Euro io.

New York, May 5.-Walking dole gates of tho unions comprising tho New York building trades council, whoso members recently received In creases In pay, have had their wages boosted too. They will receive a minimum weekly salary of $75, it was anounced to-day, and unions who do not pay tho new scale will be refus?d seats in the council. Heretofore, the walking delegate has received a salary Axed by each individual union, the amount usually not exceeding the wages paid to Jour neymen working at the trade.
