The Herald did not hear of any deaths from the disease, but some of the cases of it were reported as rather serious. ? m IN MAGISTRATE COURT. .. Magistrate W. H .

News brought ;nto Cenway lrst veek from Muriel; I ilot c n.'oin ng he influenza stated that three icgroes had die ! an I that at least Hie-half of the negro population was lown with the disease. It was also stated that there were numerous ?arcs among the white peonle and that the situation was growing more ericus every day on account of the Inck of Doctors and Nurses to car** Tor the sick. WORSE AT MURRELL'S INLET. Yesterday, four cases of pneumonia with "flu" were reported at Murcell's Inlet and several white fami lies :ill down U'ift tV?r? iliunno. There were four deaths during th? week among the colored people. Mis.Nellie Britt was sent down there ye; tc day to aid in taking care of the sick. RELIEF AT MUIIIt ELLS. Arrangements have been made t'. relieve the sick at Murrell's Inlet as niu"h as possible from this point. It was at fi st decided that each physician should take turns in visit ir.g the patients there, taking me !icines and such help as could be obtained. Later the Herald is informed that it was decided to have Dr. H. H. Burroughs make trips to the inlet as often as possible taking medicines in an automobile andata medicines and a druggist, Dr. Carter, in an automobile and writing and filling such prescriptions as were found necessary. . autos increasing!" The automobile and tru k business in this county will be one of the 'argest of the whole eastern part of j lie S*"te in the course of a few mm e > ears. The use of cars by the people to ride in and for business purposes, and the use of trucks for hauling by the farmers and country merchants, is rapidly growing and we predict that it will continue to grow, so that there is a big amount of business waiting in this line for ii t tne ousiness man and agent. o CHANGES IN IHTCK BUILDING. Several alterations were recently made in the second floor plans of the Buck Building on the corner of Main Street and 3rd Avenue. A new stair case was provided of the largStreet loadin to several of the larger rooms, while a new coat of p^int and varnish was added to the interior finish. } I I YOU mal Thornh and hi< t*TAA/1 +V VJ1 VV WV/VJ.
