With the subsiding of the Hoods coon? continued stories of destruction of property and loss of life. Mr. William Lykes of Lykeslund Monday afternoon telephoned The State of a pitiful ease. It appears thai a negro, Addison roller, and his family occupied a cabin w inch since lias been covered o Hie eves in the Hood. The family consisted of a wife and five children, one just four days old They had a boat with whieh lo make their es ?'??? , nut r?<?it ?i?t boat nor m otors have been seen.

The eurjejit there being so swift the bontuian did ant go very ( lose, as he at that time thought the negroes had abandoned the bouse. Hut as nothing has been hoard from theni, it is tea red that 'he whole family has perished. It would have been almost suieidal to have attempted to cross the river to the Lexington side and there were tearfully swift currents on the Richland side I'Jven had Addison Fuller attempted to come back on the Richland side it is more than likely that he would have heen swamped, and tiaii he stayed, it is sure that they perished . for there was no signs of life about the house. The boatman who approached did not go near enough to see whether the boat bad been taken from the house. The house is yet surrounded by water and a party will go there in bonis to inspect, the premises. Mr fiykcs stales that the place is about I'J miles from him and he would have reported it sooner hut thought that the negroes nearby had done so. but the negroes have acted in a singularly cold blooded and indifferent manner.

Many have friends, or at least know of people who have received the Pasteur treatment as preventative of hydrophobia, but few with the exception of the medical fraternity, are familiar with the treatment they receive. To Pasteur, the eminent French bacteriologist, is due the preventative treatment that is now admitted to be entirely successful in the great majority of cases. After long experiments on animals he demonstrated that innoculation of the patient with a week virus from an animal that has died from hydrophobia imj parts immunity from a virus of great virulence. ] On this principle a recently bitten patient is innoeulab'd hyperdermically with a virus prepared from the spinal cord removed from a rabbit infected with hydrophobia, and whose virulence- has been attenuated by being kept, for fourteen days in a dry atmosphere auer ine ume nnirtion (at the expiration of tins time the spinal cord would ho entirely innocuous 1. On the second day the patient is treated with virus prepared thirteen days before, on the third day with twelve-day old virus of successively increasing 'strength, until on the fourteenth day ho receives virus of full strength that can he borne without inconvenience, the system having hoen rendered immune by the treatment described. .Many thousand cases are treated every year in various laboratories throughout the world, and few cases are on record wherje a successful cure lias not been effected.
