The terrible influenza which is ragI ing over the country has taken a greater death toll than the war in Europe. And it still goes on. In man/ cases entire families have been taken and in several homes several members of the same family. We * x J !* T+ fo nnt can not unaersutim it an. for us to understand. It is always sad to us to read of a home that is just building being torn asunder. Death is always sad but to see the head of a home either father or mother and sometimes both taken away just as the home is building and with the bright prospect of a happy life spread out before the young people is peculiarly sad. Two cases have come especially to our attention in our own county in the past few days. There may be and no doubt are other cases similar. Just last Saturday a week Dr. Sam Carter of McCormick who married a Newberry girl only a few years ago and was just building a home was laid to his final rest in Rosemont. Just one week after his wife at the same hour was buried by his side. And we learn that the little babe and the sister of the wife who went to help nurse are both very ill. On Saturday morning Mr. Thomas E. Chandler, a prosperous young farmer of the Beth Eden section, and a good citizen and neighbor passed to the great beyond and the wife is very ill with the same disease.. For the father who was more a companion to the son and the young wife our tenderest sympathy goes out, but espe-j ^ cially does it make us sad to look up-| on the young son just beginning to know what father means and who is not yet old enough to appreciate his loss, and to this young life, we feel j peculiarly drawn. But as Pastor Carson said in the beautiful and touch/ ing prayer which he delivered at the funeral service which was held Sunday afternoon at the Beth Eden church, we must believe that there is a wise and over-ruling providence who I doeth all things well, "and while we can not now understand the dispensation, yet some day it will be morning, and God's morning, and then we will know and understand. "Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes Beyond the tragedy of a world at j strife v And. know that out of death and night | - shall rise j The dawn of. ampler life. ? "Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart, ,?That God has given you a priceless dower, To live in these great times and have a part In Freedom's crowning hour.," INFLUENZA. j f j It seems that the physicians and j scientists have been uiiable to under- j stand or to treat successfully the lat-j est disease called influenza. And especially to handle the complications ! which follow the disease and which , are proving so fatal. Whole families ! /are being wiped out and what the dis-, -ease does is done quickly. We noticed in the Atlanta Constitution some days ago that the physicians and scientists who met in Chicago a short time before had discovered a serum which, would prevent pneumonia following, influenza and that the serum was to' < , be distributed among the physiciansI of Georgia. We have seen nothing further of the results of the serum. ; What we started to say was, however, that if quarantine was worth anything it seems to us the way to make it worth while would be to put on a strict quarantine and one that was in reality a quarantine. There can be little good, it seems to us, for instance, in closing down the schools - and permitting the children to run at large and to leave others to go and ' congregate in stores and other places. The only way for a quarantine to be really effective is to close up every place for a stated period and require every one to remain on his own premises during the quarantine and to extend it to the entire State. Railroad ! trains and stores are generally crowded with a mixed population and many times the ventilation is poor if any at all. Give the people notice that such a ouarantine was to be put on so that they might secure a sufficient supply of food to exist, and then see to it that; the quarantine was enforced. That is the only sort of quarantine that would be worth much if quarantine is good. "We suppose the State board of health would have such authority. The disease is more prevalent in the rural districts in Newberry at present than in the city, but there are a good many cases in town. Several schools in the county have closed already but if people keep up the visiting and mingling the danger of spreading the disease still exists. Let the boards of health close up all places for a couple of weeks and let all the people remain at home. SALARY INCREASE. The legislature has passed the salary increase bill for State officials and it has been railroaded through so that it will be operative for the State offi- 5 cers who are to be sworn in on Tues- j day. There can De no cioudi inai salaries of State officers were too low but we, do not know that we can endorse the increase in the way it was made, j These gentlemen knew what the pay j was when they sought the position and ! should have been willing to take it j and then let the increase be made for j the successors. But it is all right, j The increase will not materially affect j the total of appropriations and cer- j tainly the pay the State was giving its j officers was niggardly. The idea of j any man going over the State and j paying the cost of it, not to speak of! tv?o wnrrv sppkingp a iob that lasted i for only two years at an annual sal- j ary of $1,900 seems ridiculous. The increase of $2,500 is not much but it will help. Just how the State officials have been able to meet living expenses in Columbia on the salary is hard to explain. They must Hooverize considerably. . We notice that Messrs. Evans and Folk from Newberry voted against the bill while Mr. Mower is not recorded as voting. In fact the bill was passed by only 40 votes less than one-third of the membership of the house and only 21 against it, the total' vote being less than a quorum. There has been great improvement in the road along by where Mr. W. E. Elmore lives and just before you get to the old Kinard place by putting some clay on that heavy sand bed that was once the dread of the traveler along this way. If the old split log drag had been applied to the road as needed it would be in fine condtion. And the same is true of the remainder of the road all the way to Beth Eden. The strange part of the whole matter is that we talk and write/ volumes about good roads and we fail to apply the simple remedy that would do the roads so much real good and at a min imum or cost. -But we win uoi. i Gov. Robert A. Cooper will he Inaugurated today, Tuesday, at noon in Columbia. In mentioning the purchase by the Commercial bank of the building now occupied by G. B. Summer and Son The Herald and News did nbt mention that Summer and Son had purchased the building just across the street now occupied by West-Martin as a furniture store and would move in there very soon. In fact at the t|me we did not know of the purchase. Mr. H. S. B. Kibler now with WestMartin and others associated with him will open a furniture store in the rooms now occupied by Fridy Ford Motor company and they will move as soon as suitable quarters can be obtained. This year 1919 promises to be a great year of development in Newberry. In addition to th^ proposed buildings by the banks and the new hotel there is probability of improveTripnt nn the Newberrv hotel DroDerty, and then there are many homes to be built and with it all there is to be substantial progress along all lines in the good old town of Newberry. It does not pay to build homes for rent, but it does pay in more ways than one for people who are renting to build homes for themselves. i Speaker Thomas F. Cothran is a mighty fine fellow and a man of excellent judgment and an experienced j legislator and we have no doubt makes a fair and impartial speaker j)f the house of representatives. We have known him a long time and served once with him in the legislature. This much to show that what follows is not captious and not meant to be criticism at all. But somehow it seemed to us a little remarkable that out of 124 members of the house he should give chairmanships on several committees to the same member instead of passing these little honors around, for in most cases the committees do' not have anything to do and some of them never meet during the | sessiou. There are some twenty-five or more committees, but in reality j only a few of them are more than; nominal, and why he should have j made the same member chairman of j several committees struck us rather' remarkable. Newberry county drew one chair-, manship, that of railroads to Mr. H. j H. Evans. This committee sometimes j has many very important measures t before it, but in this day of govern- j ment control of railroads there is not much probability of many bills being X - - . -A*-- - ^ " introduced affecting the railroads. bui|? it ranks as among the more import ) ant committees. The only two com-1 mittees that really have much to do J are the ways and means and the judiciary. Mr. Bradford of York is chairman of ways and means and a good man he is for the position. Mr: Berry /-*? i \*?on oriiKin?<r i <; fhwirmaii fit' illdieiarv and he has had long experience and ! will maTte a good chairman. The j next committee in importance accord ing to our notion is the committee on j education and Mr. Graham of Wil-1 liamsburg is chairman. Banking and : insurance is an important committee and Mr. Moise of Sumter is chairman, j Mr. Xunn of York is chairman ac i counts, commerce and manufactures j and engrossed bills. Mr. Clinkscales of Anderson or ag- j riculture, claims and local legislation, j Mr. McSweeney of Hampton of en-; rolled acts, fish, game and forestry, j Mr. Barnwell of Charleston of hos- j pital for the insane and medical af- j fairs. I Mr. Kelley of Anderson of legisla-; tive library and roads, ferries and j bridges. Mr. Coney of Dorchester of peniten-j tiary and public printing. t The one committee .chairmen are: J Eaddy of Williamsburg incorpora-! tions; Moise of Sumter banking and r* 1 insurance; ijraaam ui n inicimAuuig education; Mims of Edgefield military affairs; Hall of Anderson offices and officers; Gray of Spartanburg police regulations; Daniels of Richland States house and grounds; Evans of Newberry railroads. Three Anderson members drew five chairmanships; two York members four; two WilI liamsburg three; Hampton two; Charleston two; Dorchester two; Sumter one: Edzefield one: Spartanburg one; Newberry one; Richland one: Orangeburg two, Mr. Berry being also chairman of committee on rules. Twelve counties and sixteen members furnish the chairmen for the twenty-five committees. ! TO THE BLACK BOYS IN BROWN. i (Composed by Willie Mae Gallman In (Negro Dialect.)
