Atlho medical authorities will not !m> quoted. the trail is plain. The first place to report an outbreak was Honolulu, late lost summer. California health authorities traced it from there, via passengers coming to the United States, to the west coast, where it started In the late fall. Its eastward progress since has been so inexorable that it might be said to have travelled 50 miles a day, altho it actually came east spotted all along the lines of travel, with its van at any one time always next door to an area farther west the outbreak had become epidemic. Where the Honolulu outbreak oriel-1 nated Is unknown. But flu outbreaks have occurred sporadically for several years in widely-scattered parts of the world. Thf first outstanding feature of this one was its steady progress eastward Another sign of the eastward trail was the fact that England recently asked for. and received large shipments of the new Influenza vacc.ne 1 developed at the Rockefeller Institute | for Medical Research In New York. There have b^1en unverified reports that all the British military forces are to bo vaccinated. Rnglaud stands first on the European receiving end because American war support is probably sending more human flu carriers there than to other i countries But all western Europe U . exposed to catching America's flu. eapec lally Portugal, landing point of the clippers. As things now stand, the flu carriers cannot bo stopped, because no medical authority can recognize them. Even when a person has flu. physicians may have difficulty in diagnosing it Possibly, the outstanding characJ tefis5 ?? * is the speed with which it strikes. There is likely to be sudden i tever. headaches, back aches, leg aches. M?sli<aliv shaking. these are i < not v-> specific signs, vet they may { no a:l there are. The second great < liar.??',eris"lo of i rhi.-. flu outbreak in the United States is that it is virtually non-fatal. Pneumonia. the thing that caused the high de.tt h rate in the great world-wide World war outbreak of flu. i.-. not accompanying this one to any extent. Under the Selective Service system t every c.ire is taken to assure that aJl d?-ci>ions made in the case of an lndiJ vidua! registrant wiil be just and fair :>ot:i to !o> interests an<l those of the government. Graphic Story OF Yankee Raid One of the oldeat headstone* in the historic Quaker Cemetery wherein reaide many generations of Camden deed Is that erected to the memory of Gilbert Thornton, born in Boston. Mass , In 1732, and who died in Cam! den in 1802. Gilbert Thornton was the father of Phtnees Thornton who was born in I New Jersey in 1779, coming to CamJeu at the age of 14 years. His union with Klizabeth Williams, of Raynh:.m, Mass. in IS$1 was blessed with 'wo children, both girls. One of these I daughters, Sarah, became the wife of John M. Garnowell und it was at the Gamowell home in New Jersey that Mrs. Phflfte&a Thornton died in 1881 at the age of 102 years and 9 months, having lived to see six generations of descendants. The Gamewell homo was on tho corner of l-iurens ami Broad streets and facing what is known as Monument Square. This dwelling was destroyed by tire several years ago end the home of Mrs James R. Be Ik now occupies the site. Mrs. Qharjotte Gamewell Tuttle, of New Jersey, the oldest living child of the Gamewells, uVcalls some interesting events during tho Civil War period when the Gamewells made their home in Camden. Mrs. Tuttle relate? with much Interest tho invasion of the Yankee troops here in 1S65. In a vivid description of the raid of tho Northern sold'cra she says: "The Yankees entered Camden about 2 p. rn on February 24th. 18G5. When the Yankees entered Cainden. I Raw them fire at one of our men, both on horseback. Tho first raid was worse than the second. My Aunt lived In the house still standing (n?xt to The Camden Hotel). Her piano was slashed with bayonets. I saw. the wrecked instrument * "A good deal o* our silver was buried under the walk between the step* and front gate. We were told to leave some in the house. When the first raid came, we had Just risen from the breakfast table. Two or three Yankees walked through the front door and around the table gathering all our silver, and asking where we had hidden the re.st. They went through the entire house, searching everywhere. My brother-in-law had been wounded in the array and w-as In bed. We had hidden his crutch and his gray uniform My mother was an old lady, but fearless. She told the Yankees she had a sick boy and begged them not to disturb hiin. They questioned him for a while, but never suspected I he was a soldier. Our nearest neighbors were the Alexanders. A northern relative of the Alexanders was on a visit here when the raid came. He was wearing Union clothes and he thought if he was caught ho would be called a traitor and killed. They hid him In the attic, and put a bureau in front of the door. FYom the cracks In the house he peeped out and saw the park and surrounding land full of Union soldiers. On the right hand corner of tho I square, diagally across from our ! house, lived a widow. I saw the ene' my pull two bales of cotton down and | sot them on fire That cotton meant much to rh?? widow. We never knew when a raid might .occur, and were kept anxious all the! , time. The fires all around us were terrific. Our house was blistered1 j from the intense heat.' and for ono full { week we did not take our clothes cff. I We had a very large yard and f ne I old trees. A lawn extended acrcss j what is now I^iurens Street, right to : the Alexanders. We ha/1 only two out buildings One was divided into several rooms, kitchen, laundry, and two bed-rooms. The other building had three divisions. There was no cellar, but thoro was a largo underground j hothouse where we kept the plants in winter. The Union officer asked fpr our house for headquarters, assuring us that it would be a protection. So wo gave him the entire lower floor. Not one of the men went to the second floor. They were very kind to us, and were much interested in my fouryear-old sister. Tho first time I went down stiirs and peeped into tho dining room, my eyes feasted upon luxuries I had not seen in years, and plenty of everything?wheat biscuits! Ours were made of commeal and water, and at one time we had no Rait for three days. During the first raid, our eookstovo was taken away. The Yankees were not so bad to us, although we did not like for them to kill and eat all our chickens." Natives of Holly Ridge. N. C., have laughed about the name "Holly Ridge" for years, in the first place, there was no holly to be seen. In the second place. It wasn't a ridge. Now the army comes along to build an anti-aircraft firing range and reports (l) it found a sprig of holly, and (2) the area is 55 feet higher than the surrounding land. i' Nancy Byrd Turner At Kirkwood Saturday The glfied wrtter, Nancy Uyrd Turing. a member of the farooua Uyrd family of Virginia, will preaeni her graphic and humorous revelation of a poet's many-eMed experiences when she gives .''Adventure* of a Verse Writer" for the benefit of tbe-D. A. H. chapter which U raising funds for the erection <H a marker on the alte of Hobklrk Hill battlefield. The talk will be held at the Kirkwood hotel lu the music room at 3:30 Saturday afternoon and I)aughters of the American Revolution from Charleston. Columbia and Sumter have been invited to attend. There will also be music and the Kirkwood will furnish tea for anyone desiring it or wishing to form groups for tea parties. , The years are fast passing and Camden, so rich in history and historic spots, is slow In marking these ?soon it will be too late. Mrs. Byrd will be the guest of Mrs. Edward L?uBose. What another paper has to say of Mrs. Turner: "A Southerner, adopted by the North, Mrs. Turner is wide-) ly known in her choaeu holds of writ-.^ lag and lecturing. Her "Ballad of Lucky Idndbergh." was copied from J coast to coast. A few years ago the New England Poetry Society couferr ed on her its highest honor the award of "The olden Rose." Her name is to be fouiul in "Who's Who" and the children of the schools are more familiar with her work than their parents. Who Loves His Country Who loves his country will not rest Content with vow and pledge alone. But flies Her banner in his breast And counts Her destiny his own Not only when the bugle plays Stands forth to give lift# for Her. But on the field of common days Is strong to give his life for Her. He is not satisfied to claim As heritage Her power and fame, But striving, earns the right to wear The shining honor of Her name. ?Nancy Byrd Turner General News Notes Tho a bombing raid had started, patrons at a London theatre refused to leave until the manager had reveal-j ed the murderer in the screen play I they were watching. | In the absence of meat or poultry J ,on the French market, crows are being sold at 10 francs (about 25 cents) j each They are to be used In-soup, j said to be. like a chicken broth.
