Although it has been published
that Winthrop college was keepng
itself free of influenza by

serve to prevent a large number
of cases. Information reached
The Enquirer several weeks ago
that the infirmary was full of
.{iris with influenza?bad colds
it was called?and another story
was that one of the dormitories
?vas being used as a hospital.

lays ago that there were as
many as 125 cases under treatment
at one time; but the
student from whom rh#? 1
tion came was unable to give
official figures.

noitering with three armored
cars, manned by fourteen men,
he headed off four thousand Austrians
and captured them. This
was in the ratio of 267 prisoners
per man of the Italian force.

State Free from Cattle Tick.
Farmers and others interested
in cattle raising and marketing
will be interested to know that
South Carolina will be free of
the cattle tick quarantine after
December 1. After that date
cattle may be marketed wherever
desired without interference
by the Federal authorities, and
without the necessity of accepting
lower prices than those paid
for cattle from other tick-free
regions. They may bring in better
breeding stock without danger
that the imported cattle will
die from tick fever, and their
cattle will be making flesh and
milk, instead of feeding parasites.
