7 STATE
OFFICERS' SALARIES
CONSIDERABLY INCREASED
kBill Will Probably Be Completed by
Legislature to Take Effect Today.
Columbia, Jan. 20.?The general as
y sembly, which convened on last Tuesday,
has so far done little of Statewide
interest, except the passage by
both houses of a bill to increase the
salaries of State officers. The measure
as it passed the senate would have increased
the salaries of circuit judges,
circuit solicitors, and circuit stenoapraphers,
as wel, but the house cut
these out, and also trimmed the sal/
*aries provided by the senate for elective
State officers.' The bill, therefore,
will have to go to free conference this
afternoon to smooth out the differhofwoon
tVl P t wr> houses. It
UliV/UO MWV ** VV** vus/ *> *? ? ? -?- , _ _ _
must be passed and approved tonight
in order for the present officers to get
the benefit of it, as their new terms
* of office begin tomorrow, and their
salaries cannot be changed during
their term of office. Gbvernor-elect
Cooper is to be inaugurated tomorrow.
The house Saturday by a majority
of two to one vote refused to strike
out the enacting words of the bill. The
Christensen bill from the senate is
* now-on third reading in the house
and will receive final passage in this
end of the capitol this afternoon. Immediately
after the approval of the
Christensen bill Saturday, as amended
by the ways and means committee, the
house adjourned until 3 o'clock this
afternoon. ^
* The amended bill provides for a salary
cf ?5,000 for the governor and
$750 for the lieutenant governor. Oth?r.
elective State officers, which are attorney
general, comptroller general.
adjutant general, State treasurer, sec*
retary of state, superintendent of education,
railroad commissioners and
commissioner of agriculture, would receive
$2,500 each. The ways and means
committee cut the -elective State offirprs
from 53.000 each to S2.500 and
also' eliminated the insurance commissioner,
the chief game .warden, the
vsuperintendent of the State penitentiary,
the secretary of the State board
\ of charities and corrections," which
were also to receive $3,000 by the
XJhristensen bill. The committee further
amended it by cutting out pro.
visions for an increase of the salary
k of the chief justice of the supreme
B co&rt to $4,500, associate justices to
$4,000 each, judges of the circuit
courts $4,000 each, circuit solicitors
$2,000 each, court stenographers $2,1
'AHA aar.li Tho tot a 1 in/>rp?fip will hp
less than $8,000.
As soon as the bill gets its thirdreading
this afternoon it will be sent
to the free conference committee fnkn
the two houses, that the measure may
be reported back to each house, approved
and signed by Governor Manning.
The signing of this bill will
likely be the very last official act of
Governor Manning.

THE CITY BOARD OF HEALTH

home. The picture show is requested
not to admit children. All persons

depots or any other places. All" Sunday
schools are ordered closed until
further notice and the people in riic
county are earnestly requested to cooperate
with the board in the enforcing
of these regulations. And so are
the citizens of the town.
The situation is not alarming but
there are a good many cases of tht:
disease in the town and county, more
in the rural dstricts than in the towi;,
and the board feels that with the cooperation
of the people in enforcing
these precautionary measures the situation
may be improved.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the board:
1. That thje city schools remain
closed for another week and that we
recommend that all schools and
churches in the county be closed.
2. That no ci'Mren under 16 years

Secretary.
There is at least one mother in Newberr^obeying
the injunction of the
board of health to keep the children
at home. She is not only a true mother
but a true citizen. Her good and
wise example should be followed.
There may be others, but we have this
particular one in mind.
. Killed by C. & W. C. Train.
Passengers who went to Spartanburg
yesterday morning report the
killing of W. A. Wofford at the C. &
W. C. crossing just above Woodruff.
Mr.. Wofford was in a wagon and apparently
did not hear the train approaching.
The accident occurred
; near the crossing where several soldiers
were killed last year.

I I. W. W. FOUND GUILTY
v IN CALIFORNIA CASE!
t
Forty-six Defendants Convicted After! J
Trial in Sacremento Court.
ii
! Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 16.?All the ^ (
! 46 defendants in the I. w. W. conspir--]
I acy case were found guilty by a jury j
tonight. j (
The verdict "guilty as charged" was }
returned at 6 o'clock after the jury; (
had been out since 4:35 o'clock. Sen-;*
tences will be imposed tomorrow by t
United States Judge Frank H. Rudkin ' (
i of Spokane. " ! j
In bis charge to the jury Judge Rud-1
kin said: 11
"The mere fact that these defend- j <
iants are Industrial Workers of the! <
World should not justify a verdict of (
guilty . The fact that they may be; (
found to be conscientious objectors of
war should not be held against them i
in the consideration of this case. Opin-; t
ions which they hold in opposition to . t
j war and which undeniably stand alone ! (
| are not an evidence of guilt." j 1
Judge Rudkin interpreted the legal j t
meaning of- conspiracy and read cer- j j
tain portions of the conscription act j <
which the defendants are accused of; <
conspiring to violate. jt
i Referring to the ?ilent defense of i (
J 43 of the defendants who have spoken ' ]
J no word and have been unrepresented | i
by counsel throughout the trial. Judge j]
Rudkin said that such silence should! i
not be held against them. The jury j
retired after Robert Duncan, chief gov-11
ernment prosecutor, made the con- j <
eluding statement in which he said: 1
"Tl^e I. W. W. represent no flag but ?
the red flag. They would drag us ail
down to the level of the lowest man." '<

SUGGESTS FLU REMEDY.
j
I
Editor The Herald and News:
Considering influenza and resulting :'
pneumonia has killed more than 350,-;
)00 of our citizens in the past few \
:
nonths, the new outbreak now pre- i
railing would seem to justify me in <
jailing attention to a simple house-;
lold remedy which will prevent the 1
levelopment of this disease when used ^
i
:o sterilize the throat and nose, and I
o urge our public health officers to i
listribute it among the people and to
irouse them from their apathy.
I refer to Benetol (glycente of naph-!
hoi) which I have used since its first :
liscovery by Prof. H. C. Carel about ,
iight years ago. and I have never been
iisappointed in its efficacy as a germi-;
;ide. |
When exposed to influenza the nose j
ind throat should be sterilized once or ]
.wice daily with a solution of ten or,
*
welve drops of Benetol to a tumbler
)f warm water, using deep gargling
'or the throat, and a spray atomizer for
:he nose. But for my personal use I
Drefer Warner's postenor nasal douche
is a quicker and more effective appli
nation, and which I have u^ed during
:he past thirty years without an accilent.
And when the throat is not tiypersensitive
a very quick and effective
ipplication can be made with a little
practice, taking care never to use
much force in expelling the liquid.
\nd after the water has died from the
lose further protection can be had by
ipplying the naehulizing oilof Benetol
ivhich for the time renders the person
immune for some houfs at least.
Dr. Sherman's vaccine No. 38 has
ilso been shown to have both good
prophylactic and curative properties.
The dose in either case is 15?*ninims,
njected into the arm, and repeated in
18 hours as a curative agent, and repeated
after four days as a prophylac;ic
measure.
Two months ago the health authri-;
ies of Pittsburgh vaccinated 200,000 !
people with Sherman's No. 38 vaccine j
vithin ten days, causing a marked di- j
