It has come to the earn of the
members of the City Hoard of Health
that a report Is now MM Ml through-,
out tha 8tate that there la an epi?
demic of smallpox in Suinter and the
Board of Health wish to OOfTOOl this
report aa It Is entirely untrue and
Injurious to Sumter.
Since the first of last Dec. BjJbOf
there have been only two caaea of
emallpox In the city. one of theae
cases was put under quarantine aa
soon as It win discovered and was
kept In quarantine until the patient
was entlrelv raooN.r.d from the dis
oase, which w-.?s mote than a month
ago now. when he was dismissed.
The other case was discovered about
three weeks ago and was also imme?
diately quarantined. The patient Is
?tili in quarantine, although be ha*
fully recovered from the disease and
It Is probable that he will be released
?ttber Saturday or next week som"
time. All other cases in the county
have been outside of the city i!mtts
and have been oared for by the coun?
ty.
The Board of Health further wish
It understood that neither of th*. ne?
groes who had the dtsoaae contract, i
It here or were from Sumter. One
of them waa a railroad aectlon nand
and the dlaeaae broke out on him a
few daya after be came here from
another county. The other case Is
that of a negro who also came here
from another county. It Is Imros
slble to quarantine all negroes v-'.m
eeene to Sumter from other places so
the few esses that come in. by negroes
opening; here from elsewh? re. can not
ho prevented. However, everything
possible la done when a case la found
to keep the dlaeaae from spreading,
and sr far the efforts of the Health
Officer have been successful.
It is hoped mor over that now th.it
the warm weather will soon come
thst no more cases of the disease wlM
break out in the town as summer
usually lessens the numb r of small
pox patients and the danger of car?
rying or catching the disease.
Bosnier eounty hatt used the same
up-to-dsje m< hods to i"
spread of -the dtaoa* aa has the city
and In 1.0 casA has th. dlasksni spread j
after It was reported to the CcuntyI
Uoatd. Tbc case, at Hagotc and
Hembert were immediately treated
and everybody In that vicinity vac-1
clnated and cons qoentl) the disease
died out with the recovery of those j
who had beam afflicted with it. At;
Wedgefleld only ihr. e cases were i
found and th<*se we-e put in quar-'
antin? and are still kept so, until j
the entire recovery of the patients. '
At Mayeaville the same precautionary
methods were used attended by the
same result*. Two eases that were
brought to the Immediate vicinity of
Sumter by negroes coming from other
oountleo were quarantined and the
cas* s have been recently dismissed, j
There Is one cast Just outside of the
city limits now which was traced up
Wednesday by the City Health OhV
OOr and 1mm - t >' ? quarantined. The
las? Is now under treatment and the
patient will > und< guard un?
til hs is woll enough to be freed
without danger to the put lie at large.
In every case In the county, as well
aa In the city, the cases were brought
to Sumter county by negroes coming
from other counties.
The Health Officer has the health
record leg the <ity of Sumter In his
office at all times and the Board of
Health desires that a ;>? rson who
baa heard the report of there being

in a game full ot errors made by
both teams and showing the inability
of both teams to do any startling
w 'tk of any kind, the <>rangoi>urg
college defeated the Sumter High
school baseball team on the local
baseball diamond Friday afternoon
by the score of 6 to 2. The field
work of the l >cal boys was about as.
poor as It could be, while that of
the opposing team was not up to par.
The batting of the Sumter boys was
?sad to amount to no more than It
did and that of the Orangeburg col?
lege team was of the same order,
only a little hotter. The game was
playsd mostly by the pitchers and
catchers of the two teams, who were
lbs only parsons on ths team who
showed life and Interest in the game.
The gams commenced with the
visitors at the bat. Ir. the first In?
ning they made one SCOTS and threat?
ened more but were held back. The
local hoys started off with a twn
base hit by Haynsworth which
amounted to nothing as the rumor

were shut out In Ins see..mi and

Mexico City, March 24.?The Dial
cabinet resigned today. Following a
meeting of that body at i o'clock this
afternoon every minister tendered his
resignation to (Jen. Di?t, As yet none
of the resignations has been accepted,
but on an excellent authority it Is
Stated but two of the ministers?and
possibly not more than one?will be
asked to retain his portfolio. It is
believed that Senor Llmantour will
remain.
Members of the cabinet refuse to
comment upon their action, but it is
stated semi-Offlclally that the initiative
was taken not by them but by the
president, who, it Is said, proposed
to surround himself with younger
men in the hope that such actioa will
serve to unite all elements of the na?
tion. It is probable that the accept?
ance of the resignations will be coin?
cident with the announcement of the
names of the new ministers. This
announcement may not be made for
some days.
Who will compose the new cabinet
Is not publicly known, but it may he
said they will be men who have not
tak< n prominent part in the govern?
mental affairs.
Neither will it include any who
baVS boon identified with the revolu?
tionary movement instituted by Mad
tro, Included in the r> sienations was
that of Ramon Corral, as minister
of gnbernaeion, i department corres?
ponding to the department of inter?
ior in the United States. It is report
i d that the vice president will sail for
Ruropo on April 12.
The announcement of the cabinet
Changes has revived the rumor that
Ben? Diu/, has recalled Gen. Bernardo
Heyes from Europe, but this could
not be substantiated tonight.
Not one of the men who until today
formed President Dlas'a cabinet is
b ss than 65 venrs old, and a number
of them are much older, With the
exception of Enrique C. Creel, min?
ister of foreign affairs, all have been
members of the president's official
family for a great many years, and
this fact alone has been one of the
grievances of the revolutionists, who
have Insisted that the chief executive
should snrrgund biineelf wltb repre?
sentatives < * % young< r generation,
men morr closel) In touch With
affairs uf the peopb .
Following are those whose resigna?
tions' were received.
Enrique C. Croel, minister of for?
eign affairs; Uamon Corral, minister
of interior; Jose Yv s Llmantour,
minister of finance; Olegarlp Molina,
minister of fomento; Justo Sierra,
minister of education; Manuel Gon?
zales Coslo, minister Of war and ma?
rine; Leandro Fernandez, minister of
public works and communications;
Justino Fernand. /, minister of jus?
tice.
Without exception all of these men
have contributed valuable service to
their country and to their president,
but the popular feeling against them
has been growing steadily since long
before the beginning of the revolu?
tion.
Kamon Corral is not so old that his
age (an be used as an argument
against his usefulness; but ill health
during the lasl few months has served
the same purpose, when it is taken
into consideration that the man has
not been popular among a great pro?
portion of the people from whose
ranks the revolutionists are drawn.
Enrique C, Creel is not by any
m< ana in the decrepit class, but he
too has fallen muh r the displeasure
of tin- forces opposing the adminis?
tration ami nil age aerves as an ex?
cuse, Wha? baa contributed more
tium age, however, to hla unpopular?
ity among the maaaea la the fact that
he la a rich man and Incurred the
hostility of many In hla own state,
Chihuahua, That Senor Creel la a
diplomat was demonstrated In the
conduct of the office aa ambassador
to the United States and hla record
as a cabinet member waa considered
good,
Senor Llmantour, who. it is report?
ed, will be the only cabinet member
to remain, la an old man. There la an
? lament which will not be pleaaed at
his rententlon, but iiu re is none who
saya he should be retired aolely on
' B ? count of hla age.
St nor Sierra mlntsb r of education,
enter-d the cabinet mans years ago
and to him is due largely the credit
for building up Mexico's school sys?
tem. Towards him objection has
? rarely I ? en made.
The three m< n against whom the
masses have cried "old age" are:
Leandro Fernande*, Justino Fernan?
den and Gen. Coslo, In ycara gone
by these He n have accomplished
much in tloir respective offices, but

statement that caffeine was a poison,
Dr. Vaughn admitted that there wer

coca-cola, which he sells to the
Coca-cola company of Atlanta, was

age of 1.02 grains of caffeine to the
cup. He said he had not analyzed

Dr. J. A. WSsner Of Chicago, who
qualified as a chemist and pharma?
cist, said he had analyzed coca-cola
and found it to contain 1.21 grains
