Edward W. Hodges looses Life in
Orangeburg.
Orangeburg, Jan. 1.?Edward W.
Hodges, aged 2t>, was instantly killed
last night about !) o'clock near
Orangeburg in an automobile accident.
The fatal accident occurred
about three miles below Orangeburg,
on the Rowesville road, the automot
bile being owned and driven by L. L.
Hamilton, a well known manufacturer
of Orangeburg. It is stated that
a party from Rowesville approached
Sheriff R. F. Dukes and asked that

Dukes's car was not near at hand, but
Mr. Hamilton happened to hear the
request and stated that he had his

Rowesville if Mr. Dukes would go
with him for company on the return
trip. Mr. Dukes agreed and they
went to Rowesville. At Rowesville
Melvin Smoak, of Cordova, and Edward
Hodges, of Wolfton, asked for
a ride back to Orangeburg, and Mr.
Hamilton took them. About three
miles below Orangeburg on the Rowesville-Orangeburg
road there is a
curve, and the car ran into an embankment.
Messrs. Smoak and
Hodges were on the back seat and
Mr. Hodges jumped or was thrown
from the car by the impact caused by
the car running into the embankment.
The car later struck a telephone
pole, but the location of Mr.,
Hodges's body indicated that he was
out of the car before the pole was
reached His neck was not broken,
i but a vein of the neck was cut and
he bled to death. His death was
practically instantaneous. None of
the others were injured, save a slight
injury to Mr. Smoak. The car was
damaged only in a broken wheel and
the indication was that the car was
running at a moderate rate of speea.
The coroner's inq,uest. was held this
afternoon and the verdict was that
the deceased came to an accidental
death. The funeral services will be
held at Limestone Methodist church,
Orangeburg county, tomorrow morning,
burial taking place at the family
plot.

CAN'T TELL ALOFT INFLUENZA.
One Attack Seem*; to Confer Immunity
for Several Years.
Washington, Dee. 24.?"There is
absolutely no way of definitely foretelling
whether this winter will witness
any recurrence of influenza in
epidemic form." said Surgeon General
H. S. Gumming, of the United States
Public Health Service. " vs a result,
however, of very careful analyses of
the epidemiology of influenza, especially
as the result of intensive studies
in homes where influenza occurred in
1918 and 1919, it may be stated that;
an attack of influenza appears to confer
a definite immunity to subsequent
attacks; immunity lasting for several!
years. Inasmuch as the epidemic of
1 91 S and 1919 affected so-very large
a proportion of the population there
would seem to be reasonable grounds
for believing that even should "flu"
become prevalent here and there, it
would not assume the epidemic pro
portions of the past two years, nor
would it rage in such severe form.
"It is unfortunate the public becomes
so intensely interested in spectacular
epidemic outbreaks of disease
and is so little moved by the
daily occurrence of many preventable
deaths in all parts of the country. Of
the one and one-quarter million
deaths occurring in the United States
annually, at least 100,000 could easily
be prevented by the application of
available medical knowledge. For
example, one of the diseases which
becomes prevalent about this time of
the year is diptheria. This disease
is responsible for about 15,000 deaths
in the United States annually. Practically
every one of these deaths could
be prevented, for not only have we
an effective anti-toxin for treating
the disease when it occurs, hut what
is still more important, we are now
able by means of a simple skin test
to determine which children are susceptible
to diptheria, and this ascertained,
we can effectively immunize
them so as to protect them against
this disease.
"The 10,000 or more deaths from
typhoid fever that occur annually in
the United States could also be largely
prevented if communities everywhere
would jnake certain that their
water and milk supplies were pro
*- - -i j t* i ..x; ^ ^
teciea, ana ir simple precautions were
taken in homes where typhoid fever
occurs. It is encouraging to know
that smallpox has been so well controlled
that at present the average
deaths from it in the United States
number only 400 annually. Nevertheless,
these 400 deaths are entirely unnecessary,
for vaccination has long
shown itself an effective means of
control."
In almost every community in the
country the wastage in infant lives
is still enormous, especially when
contrasted with that in New Zeland,
for example, where the death rate is
only 50 per thousand births in the
first year of life as against 100 in the
United States.
Commenting on this. Surgeon General
Cummin? said: "The expense of
life saving through the prevention
ind control of disease by well directed
health measures is' very small indeed
when contrasted with the saving effected.
I would strongly urge the
people of this country to recognize
:he fact that expenditures in this
direction constitute the most profitable
form of investment. Effective
measures of health conservation connvo-Qiit

FIRECRACKER CAUSES DEATH.
Two Year Old Roy in Bennettsville
Eats "Soil of a Run."
Bennettsville, Dec. 30.?Perry B.
Odom, .Jr., two year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Percy C. Odom, died at
their home 011 King street about 5
o'clock this morning as the result of
eating a "son of a gun," a new kind
of firecracker sold in Bennettsville
during the holidays. Yesterday afternoon
the child's mother found
something around the child's mouth
and other children told her that it
had eaten a "son of a gun." About
6 o'clock the child began to show
symptoms of illness. Drs. Smith and
Kinney were called and washed out
the stomach. Dr. Kinney was there
again about 11 o'clock, and the little
boy then seemed to be doing well.
About 5 a. m. Dr. Kinney got a
message that he was thought to be
i..--? ^ n-ic! rtpfift before the
UVUXg Hll\.l ilC )iuo v.
doctor got there.
The little fellow was a bright and
attractive child and the parents have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their bereavement.

THIRTY-TWO YEARS EDITOR.
W. I). Grist Celebrates Anniversary
at York.
York, .Tan. 1.?\V. D. Grist, editor
of The Yorkville Enquirer, today enters
upon tiie thirty-second anniversary
of his service as editor of that
newspaper, a record of editorial longevity
in the same position perhaps
unequaled by the services of any
other editor in South Carolina. He
begins another year as director of
The Enquirer tomorrow at the age of
fifty-five, in the best of health, and
with every indication that he is good
for another three decades in the
same capacity.
The Yorkville Enq.uirer is known
throughout the Carolinas and the
? - i 1 J ?
soutn as one ot tne leaning semi-1
weeklies. It has been printed under 1
the present name for sixty-five years,
having been founded by the late
Capt. Lewis M. Grist, father of the
present editor, in 1S5C>, as successor
to newspaper published here previous
to that year by Capt. Grist's father,
the late John E. Grist.
\Y. D Grist, the present editor, is ,
joint owner of the business with his ]
brother, Albert M. Grist,, business
manager of the establishment and
superintendent of the composing
room. Their children are associated
with them in the conduct of The Euquirer,
editorially and mechnically. j
The following is taken from a
sketch of Editor Grist and The Yorkville
Enquirer which appeared in a
recent issue of the "City Editor and
Reporter, Chicago, 111."
"For thirty years, day after day,
from early morning until late at j
night, he has been sitting at his <
desk?a typical newspaper man's 1
desk, editing his newspaper, The j
Yorkville, (S. C.,) Enquirer. About .
once every three years a friend will
persuade him to take a trip for a
week or two, winning out with the
argument that it will do him good.
Maybe within four days, or six at
most, he will be back: at his desk.
"Every dollar he has ever made, in
addition to his charities, the education
of his children and the expenses
of ms tamny, nas gone oaciv into me
paper?to make it better and a
stronger power for good and for
progress. ,
"The Enquirer has the largest cir- 1
culation of any country newspaper (

Xew York, January 2.?Awakened ,

at an early hour this morning by the .
clicking of a key in the front door
of her apartment, Miss Bertha Miller,
architect* crept noislessly from .
bed, drew a shining object from a t
buffet drawer and waited. ?
A man came through the door. He ?
felt something press against his ribs J
and heard an order, "Behave now, ?
keep your hands up and sit down in e
that chair," he obeyed. Miss Miller i
called her sister who opened a win- |
dow and blew a police whistle. t
Police came. Miss Miller sighed, f
sank in a chair and tossed a silver i
spoon on the table. The man, who J
said he was Michael Amio, of Dans- (
ville, X. Y., was held in $2,500 bail \
on a technical charge of burglary. 3
At breakfast time Miss Miller called
at the police station, requesting to
buy food for the prisoner. "I want f
him to be given the best of treatment,"
she said.
