INFLUENZA LEND8 IT8ELF TO
HELP BRING ON TUBERCULOSIS
?i
Hundreds of people In the qqunty
have been ill with colds and 'flu since
the unsually cold weather began.
Some of these ate not making a norfoal
recovery, because living tubercuI
losls germs present in their bodies
t have bat a v good chance to work
(against their getting well. These will
continue to have symptoms such as
(temperature, oough, raising phlegmfrom
the lungs, weakness, loss of ap(petite,
indigestion, getting tired easily.
The chances are that the people
suffering with these discomforts will
thlhk they are just so called "aftereffects"
ofl Qdsoooluu eta shrdlusfm
effects" of colds or flu, when really
they have early tuberculosis.
They will "knock along" till summer
or early fall, when they will be
(so ill. they will of necessity seek the
advice of a physician who will suggest
an X-ray examination, finding out that
his patient has* either moderately or
far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis.
The chance for getting well will then
be questionable.
The doctor will say, "Why dfdn't
you come several months ago?" The
answer will be, "I just thought I was
so run down that I was having a hard
time getting over the spall of sickness
I had last winter."
The Kershaw county tuberculosis
association urges every person who
falls to make a-normal recovery from
a cold or tb^ 'flu to seek the advice of
a physician Without delay.
- "With^ChrlstmasrReal Bale-tnnds,
the tuberculosis association carries on
a program to prevent tuberculosis and
to And tuberculosis- cases early
enough to do the most good. Late returns
from m&lL seal letters have

Washington, D, C.?The Agriculture
Appropriation 131)1 has been before
the House all this week. The recommendation
of the committee that
farm appropriation for laat year bo
cut by 51 per cent this year haa been
bitterly fought by .representatives
from the agricultural ao&th and west.
Republicans, so, far, are almost unanimously
backing the* committee.
Southern Democrats charge that the
Republican party sponsored SmootHawley
tariff act reduced the farmers
to oboject poVerty and now that the
present Democratic administration
has_ advanced a real farmer's aid
program, the Republicans with the
aid of the big city Democratic representatives
want to scuttle the program
and bring on another depression
in order that they may derive political
profit therefrom.
The approaching population census
of 1940 calls to mind many interesting
faots about the make-up of the
House of Representatives. The founding
father set up two houses, one to
be made up of two members from
each state selected originally by the'
State Legislatures and the other to
be composed of members elected directly
by the people and apportioned
among the various states according
to population. The lower House was
to be elected eVery two years, so l^iat
its members would come fresh from
the people.
Under the first apportionment in
1789, there were only 65 members of
the House. The number was increased
each decade, along with the increased
population. In 1840 there were 232
members; in 1880, 332; and In 1910
the membership was increased to the
present figure of 4$5.
After each census Congress apportions
to each state the number- of
representatives it may have, but Congress
does not determine the lines of
"the " various Congressional districts.
This is done by the State Legislature.
In the 1930 census South Carolina
lost one member, and the State Legislature
redlstricted the state by adding
counties from the second district to
the first, second and third districts.
If a state is given an Increase in apportionment,
-the Legislature can redls^rict
the state of the added member
may be elected from the state at
large.
Under thotl910 census, the avearge
Congressional district had a population
of 194,182, as compared with 279712
for the census of 1930. While In
theory all Congressional districts
shouldhave^a^roxlmately the same
.population, in practice they vary
widely. For example, Congressman
Dickstein of the 12th district in New
York City has only 90,67^ people in
his district," . whereas _ Congressman
O'Toole of the 8lh district of New
York represents 799,407 people.'
These disparities have arisen partly
because Congressional districts follow
county, town, or ward lines, and
the population cannot be divided with
exactness and partly because of political
maneuvering through the years.
This usually takes the form of what
Is referred to4 as "Gerry-manderiug",
so called for Its Inventor, vice-President
Elbridge Gorry, when a redlstricting
bill is pending, it sometimes
attempts to crowd as many voters of
its persuasion into one district as it
can in order to gain political advantage
over the opposing party. This resuits
in what are termed,; / shoe siring
districts'*, a term which was first ap"
plied ""To certain districts In ' South
Carolina following the Re-construction
Period. At one time, a district in
Missouri extended in a narrow line
through the state from one border
to tbe other. In one district in North
Carolina, this jpra?{Jce resulted in an
odd formation resembling the salamander
of Gerry's time, from which
was derived, in the Old Bay State,
the_ paraphrasd" Gerrymander". The
Federal re-apportionment law requires
districts to be compact and composed
of continuous territory, as in the cake
In our 5Ui Sooth Carolina district but.
as to compactness, the law 1s honored
in some state* more In the bre&h
than in the observance, as a study of
the' map, showing Congressional district
lines today, will indicate.

OROUND HOQ SHADOW
Qttarryviil?, Pa., Feb fc.^Dtsclples of
the groundhog as a weather prophet
could take their pick today between
six more weeks of winter?or an early
spring.
In this self-appointed capital of
the woodchuck world, top-hatted members
of slumbering groundhog lodge
ventured solemnly out In a snowstorm
that made a glimpse of the groundk
hog's shadow Improbable.
Traditionally, there'll- be six more
weeks of b'itter cold weather if the
woodchuck sees his shadow Feb. 2
If vhe doesn't legend says spring is
just around the corner.
? Elsewhere in the nation ground-L
hogs gave varying forecasts.
"At Qobbiwr's'fCpob,^-Punt stitawrtby,"
Pa., a 50-year old lodge rivalling the
Quarryville group reported that the
groundhog appeared . In bright sun- '
shine, saw a long shadow and scurried
back to his hole as the mercury plunged
toward zero. ??? ? ;~
^ From the clouds around Kansas City
'Mo., 'if looked like no woodchuck
shadow and groundhog followers predicted
mild weather ahead.
In Minnesota, the groundhog skidd- I
ed out on a coating of light sieet and 1
cast ample shadow. Michigan and
Wisconsin groundhogs did, too.
Frank Tracy, of Washington Courthouse,
O., told this story:
His pet groundhog, "Chuck," burrowed
under the front porch 88 days
ago for its winter nap. Emerging today,
"Chuck" touched off an alarm
i Tracy had rigged on a trap door, saw
its shadow and scratched at the trap
to get back to bed. ,
Groundhogs in western New York
burrowed through four inches of now
snow but there was enough sunshine
for shadow-casting.
Most of New England, except Vermont
and central Maine was cloudy.
1. But whatever the groundhog prophets
discerned, Dr. Gustav Swanson,
University of Minnesota farm zoologist,
summed up Mlfe reaction of
scientists.
