Warsaw.?"There is Bolshevism among the rich as well as the poor," said Andreas Moraczewski, the Polish premier, to the Associated Press The premier is a member of the Austrian parliament and one of the most prominent figures in the present gov ernment. He is the son of a coal miner, but a highly educated student of government, an ideal Socialist, whose honesty is unquestioned even by the opposition. "The social contrasts are everywhere too great," he said. "We have 200,000 workmen unemployed here? no clothes and no food for their families. I am a Socialist, but above all, I am Polish. "I am no Bolshevist. 1 love Poland and am willing to die for her. 1 served three years as a soldier and consider 1 am doing my duty by remaining at my preseent post until the elections.

Byj THE BOBBY HEBJ i ; ------ ? bettor Poland. I have never liked ! the German Socialists who persecuted the Polish Socialists in Silesia even before the war. I do not believe that Bolshevism is an internal danger, but there is great danger in lack of employment. "Poland is caught between two fires?Russia and Germany. What is worse in Bolshevism than the act of the German army is selling the city of Minsk for 40,000 rubles. "The course for Poland as we see it is: First, the division of land, to bf paid for at pre-war values; second, the taking over of the mines by the government for an equitable consideration; third, state ownership of public utilities, such as electric plants, waterworks, railroads, slaugh tei houses, locomotive works and bakeries. "The program does not provide for state control of all industries, as has I j been said, for state work is loss officient than private initiative, though the railways in Austria, while costing the government more to operate, were more efficient than under pri- 1 vate operation. "Poland's difficulties come partly from the fact that we have been under three different rules, Austrian, German and Russian. We have three kinds of money in circulation and have suffered a double military occupation." o France plans to assume the guidance of the destinies of Armenia, Syria and Lebanin. good and many growers have product, and consequently ! liis Summer and Fall than j co money goes quickly and for is carefully spent, and in the for the dollar. special lines with us are absos of the farmers and for use in on of the farms during the ref 1918, and in getting ready f showing you what we have in tobacco money.

MTpmtT ISSUE GOMES UP :inal Disposition to Be Made at Peace Table in Paris Washington.?Th" disposal of the undreds of millions of dollars worth f Gorman owned property in tlr* Jnited States, which has been taken vcr and sold by A. Mitchell Palmer, ilien enemy property custodian, will ie one of the questions discussed at he peace table. There is at present ittle prospect that this prpoerty will ie returned in any form to its origital owners. The accepted opinion ;cems to be that all of the allies will >ool the enemy property in their posession, and will use the proceeds of | tf- . ale to reimburse the citizens of j dlied countries for damage done | hem by the Germans. Whatever is done with this proper,\, the most valuable part of the .ork of the enenu property custohan has already hi en accomplished, ierman capital and German influnce have been eliminated once and for all from the United States, and American industry lias taken a long tride toward the condition of ill 1 American ownorslvp which is so much to ho desired. (lei man concerns to the value of T,00,000.000 have hoc n taken over hy 'he guardian of enemy possessions, not to mention $2n0,000,000 worth of stocks and honds in industrial corporations and an ce,ual sum in real estate, patents and other incidentals. This sequestered property has either been sold to American citizens whose loyalty has been investigated, or is held by the government. business Would Die. 44If an American corporation, tin stock of which was owned by German subjects, were turned back tomorrow to the control of its former owners," VI .. !)..! ^-i 1 ' 1 ' .\Liy:s mi. I miner, US DUSlIiess WOUIU molt away, its assets would shrink, and its former good will as a going business would become a distinct liability. The German investor would save little out of the resulting wreck, Foreseeing disaster, the German owners of Amreiean securities in all lines of industry would either dump theni upon the American market with resultant disarrangement in finances and commerce, or conceal their ownership behind dummies who would seel; to deceive the American public. Either result would be unfortunate an I should be avoided." This does not imply that the Uniten States wlil boycott German trad'1 offered on a fair basis in the import market. It does mean that the United States is not going to take again the risk of German control of any of its industries. o Get the and fllllllfs That the proposition advanced by the automohilists of the State to have an election on the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $25,000,000 for tiie purpose of building a system of concrete roads connecting the county 'cats of the State is meeting with great favor all over the State is indented by the comment of well known men from different sections who have been in Columbia recent!v.

SUBMITTED BY HEALTH OFFICER Pressing Need for SanitaryOrganization Is Stressed. Columbia.?Charles V. Akin, S. P. A surgeon public health service, has submitted to members of the South Carolina State board of health his report of measures undertaken for the control of influenza in South | Carolina during the epidemic occuri ing from September 21, 1918, to date. The report is a complete review of tin4 cpdicnhe from its first appearance in the State at Abbeville and Newberry to this time. "That the disease should have made its first appearance in western South Carolina seems logical," says Pr. Akin, "when one considers the direct railroad connection existing between that section and the eastern pan of the t'nited States, where influenza first manifested itself in epidemic form. The Piedmont section of South Carolina, in which the disease first appeared, is more ihifldv H |/vj;uii4t^ U llliill tl! IV U tlli'l part of the State; this, in part is, occasioned by the presence of a 'urge number of cotton mills emp'oying thousands of operatives. The close personal contact necessitated by their work afforded excellent opportunity for the rapid spread of the v l ection." The report estimates that 10 per cent of the population of the State v as affected by the disease. The number of deaths resulting from it falls slightly below 5,000. "Influenza is still prevalent in South Carolina, and will doubtless continue for many months," says the ; report. "Unquestionably the prcsI ont expression of the disease is less severe than when the epidemic first covered the State. Deaths occur from 1 ncumonia following the disease,, i but few eases develop this dreaded complication. The increased care exercised to prevent infected persons from convalescing too ranidlv doubt loss plays a large part in the lowerMi death rate. The Oetober-November influenza control campaign was in no sense a triumph of scientific investigation. The value of prophylactic and curative sera was not tested nor were new methods of control produced." Lessons to He Learned. Dr. Akin concludes by saying that "Nations and States, and even individuals have always paid a heavy tribute for unpreparedness. The 45 counties in South Carolina followed the long-established precedent when stricken with the epidemic of influenza. More than 4.000 lives will have been wasted and untold suffering experienced in vain if the people of this State do not make immediate and everlasting use of the terrible lesson so pointedly expressed by the helpless condition into which they were thrown when influenza struck a population, 00 per cent ' of which was without adequate health organization. The necessity for efficient ccunty health units, so pressingly urged by the State health officer must now be apparent to every citizen of South Carolina. When a nation is stricken each State must look out for itself, and when a State is helpless in the g" ip of disease, each county must take care of its own problem. It is impossible to estimate the saving of 1 : l M - ... nn i ? nil- aim lu'cduvss suiienr.g nau eacn of tho 45 counties in South Carolina been properly equipped to combat influenza. It must not be forgotten that there are other disease conditions which menace the health of the people of this State, and 'tomorrow' is no time to get ready to meet an enemy, the appearance of which may not be definitely anticipated." o Piles Cured in 6 to i4 Days Druggists refund money if PAZO OINTMENT f&ila tocure Itching, Wind, Weeding or Protruding Piles, 'cctantly relieves Itchlnd Piles, nr.' yon can get restful sleep after tho first application.
