In some w cases whole families are afflicted U and it is becessary that some D system of relief be established. M There will be volunteer nurses vi and a headquarters kitchen and cl much relief to the families and ci the physicians will be afforded tf through this effort of the Red f? Cross society.* tf The item in last week's Times stating that the local school would probably open last Monday, slipped into the forms sc through an oversight. The item ai was put in type prior to the ST' passage on Wednesday of the w quarantine order by the State d? board of health and should have w been "killed," but got by the M proofreader, just as all news- Y paper errors get by.

Blakely was sent to st Fort Mill the last week by the a} State board of health to assist a the local physicians in handling , tG the influenza situation in this 0j community. On account of the ai absence or illness of several phy- m sicians in the country districts. w the local practitioners have had Si numbers of calls from distant ai points which they felt they cou'.d n not well attend to without neglect of patients in the immediate community. However, they make many sacrifices to meet the needs ki of all as far as possible and the ol presence of Dr. Blakeley is aid- t\ iug greatly in relieving the situ- m ation. | si . * % % Cotton ginnings in York county trior to September 25th were t58& bales, compared with 520 tales ginned to the same date ast year. The condition of Mrs. Mar:aret Wilson, who has been eriously ill of pneumonia at the tome of her son, J. P. Crowder, or some days, was reported esterday as somewhat imroved. Train No. 27, due at Fort Mill 15:30 p. m., handled no mail 'uesday on account of the mail gent being down with the "flu" nd the inability of the railway eople to secure a man to make he run. There is at present, according o the statements of the local I hysicians, little improvement! a the influenza situation. If nything, it is believed that the ases are more numerous at resent than formerly. Many f the people who were afflicted /ith the disease several days go are again out, but new cases re reported each day. There } no one, so far as The Times is ble to learn, dangerously ill nth the malady at present. Mrs. J. B.
