The terrible epidemic of infantile paralysis continues to rage with un abated fury in New York City, while number* of cases have been reported from all parts of the country. The efforts of medical and scientific men to check the spread of the dread dis ease have so far proved unavailing, a and sdditinrvsl daatha Jpsiag reported each day, and cold weather ia said to be about the only sure re lief in sight. That, of course, is still several weeks in the future. Although the number of cases of imfantile paralysis in South Carolina is •aid to be no more than normal and ia, in fact, much less than the number reported in 1910 when an epidemic was raging in the North, it behooves the people of this State to use every precaution in their power to prevent its spread. Children should not be al lowed to congregate, and should be kept sway from moving picture shows, Sunday school, etc., until the danger ia over. Physicians also advise spray ing the throat and nose as a precau tionary measure. The State is prac tically quarantined now, as no child under 16 years of age ia permitted on a railway train without a health cer tificate from a physician. Remember the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound ef cure." ANALYSIS OF RETURN8. Interesting Primary Election Figures from Previous Campaign*. Speculation a* to probable results of the approaching primary election are becoming rife as the day for de cision draws near. For the benefit of those who delight in juggling figures on gubernatorial races, the following information is given: Cole L. Blease offered first for gov ernor in 1906 agsinst seven oppo nents. The three leading candidates were Martin F. Ansel, Mr. Blease and Richard I. Manning. In the first pri mary Ansel received 39,850, Blease 16,801 and Manning 23,008. A vote •f 16,983 was distributed among the remaining five. In the second pri mary Mr. Ansel was elected by a ma jority of 9,399. Two yearrs later Mr. Ansel was op posed for reelection again by the Newberry candidate. The total vote that year approximated 105,000, of which Mr. Ansel received 62,867, or a majority of 20,767 over Blease. Mr. Blease was elected governor in 1910, his leading opponent being C. C. Featherstone. The vote that year was 106,355. Mr. Blease received 56,250, Mr. Featherstone 50,605. The Newberry county candidate’s major ity was 5,645. Two years later Mr. Blease was re elected, being opposed by John T. Duncan and Ira B. Jones. The re- 4ums that year were unprecedented ly large, the count being 140,767. The majority was 3,329. The vote re ceived was: Blease 72,043, Jones 66,548, Duncan 2,166. In the United States senatorial race of two years ago the majority •f E. D. Smith over hia three op ponents was 11,731. The total vote cast was 132,801. Smith received 72,266, Bleace 66,913, Jennings 2,258; Pollock 1,364. Only nine counties were in the Blease column in that election. These mate Aiken, Anderson, Cherokee, Chesterfield, Clarenuon, Georgetown, Pickens, Union and York.
