Suspecting that the car contained Liquor, Dollard drove alongside in the block north of Warren street and told the driver to stop. The young man obeyed the command, and when the officer asked him where he was from he stated that he lived in Camden. When Dollard went to the back of the car and started to raise the cover, the young man grabbed Mp* coat and I did a N'urmi across the fields in the general direction of the Seaboard railroad tracks.

I ' ~ 1 RteognWng Symptom* of Diphtheria Diphtheria la one of the moat common diseases with which we have to deal. It ia a disease of the throat, nose, or trachea, and is caused by a germ>> Tbe forms produce a white or yellow membrane which is usually plainly visible when it ia on the tonails or surrounding part, but may be ao thin that it can scarcely be noticeable. If it is in the nose or trachea, its location prevents it from being seen. Other bacteria often grow with diphtheria bacilli and produce swell* ings and abscesses. The disease will usually develop within a few hours or days after infection with the . germs. The danger in diphtheria is from two causes: first a poisoning by the toxins of the bacilli, and second, an obstruction of the trachea interfering with breathing. The toxin of diphtheria produces a rapid and general poisoning of the cells< of the body, and especially those of the, heart. A poisoning of the nerves is also likely to occur, leading to paralysis, especially of the motor nerves of the throat. Diphtheria may be suspected if any throat trouble is present, or if the breathing is obstructed; or if theire are signs of a paralysis of the throat, such as difficulty in swallowing. There is usually a fever andk great weakness of the body. There may be a sore throat, although the worst cases are often painless, owing to the paralysis of the nerves. If there is no soreness there may be no special signs to call attention to the throat, and the disease may reach a dangerous stage before its existence is suspected. The presence of spots or a membrane bn the tonsils or other situation in the back part of the throat is. strongly suggestive of diphtheria, but it is not always a proof of the disease, for there may be due to other causes, such as simple tonsillitis, or septic sore throaty or Vincents angina. No one can always tell these three diseases from diphtheria without a culture. Therefore a culture should be taken of every case having a membrane in\the throat, whether the membrane ia\characteristic or is only suspieious.N. For the examination of cultures sometimes shows the absence of diphtherial from throats in which a membrane is present, and often reveals the germs when no membrane can be seen. Almost the only source of 'diphtheria germs is in the human throat. It is barely possible that a cat or other domestic animal may have the disease. ' ' ' Most eases of diphtheria are acquired by contact with a person who -has diphtheria germs in his throat, ?or with something which has recently touched his mouth or' nose, such as drinking cup or a towel. Some cases are acquired from milk which corn tains . diphtheria germs, which came from a*1 infected person who handled -thcTmilk. Every suspicious case should be isolated, the end of the period of isolation is determined by the absence of germs from the throat. A throat may appear to be well, and yet it may continue to harbor virulent germs for days or weeks. The rule is not to release a person from isolation untfl at least two negative cultures have been obtained on successive days.. This is very necessary with school children. No child from a house where there is a case of any contagious or infectious disease should not attend school for fourteen days after contact with the disease. Jno. W. Wilson, Health Officer. '' ' i_ _ ;Fir? #t Walterboro Walterboro, March 28.?The Walterboro Masonic building was completely destroyed by fire at 3 o'clock this morning, the origin of the blaze being unknown. At the time discovered the flames had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save either tiie building or contents on the lower floor, used as a postoffice. The second floor was not burning so badly and somq^of the property of the fraternal 'bodies using this as a meeting place was saved. The loss is almost total und will reach about $7,000, which is partially covered by insurance. The large amount of mail on hand, including parcel post and- c.o.d. packages was. either entirely burned or ruined by water, together with all equipment of the postoffice.
