McKay, about two weeks ago that he had been slightly wounded and was getting on well, Later he cabled a second time that he was still doing well. In view of these direct reports it is believed . that-his wounds are not as serious as .indicated by the official report. Mrs. J. S- Campbell, who has been very ill is much better. Mr. C E.

Another life has been given for our country: another name has been atfded to-the lengthening list of the boys of the Sumter High School, whose supreme sacrifice has been ac cepted in behalf of the nation and the'state they love. - Forj|a^*s Carson Jenkins' many friends had been in anxious suspense about his condition. Conflicting ru more about his death were scattered every day. As these were contradict ed, his friends began to ho'pe that he would at last successfully combat the dread disease of pneumonia. Early Sunday morning, however, the authentic news reached Sumter that he had died at three o'clock the night before. YvTiile he was so stubbornly resist ittg the disease, many inquiries were made and many comments were) ut tered. Most of them were of this nature: "I am certainly sorry to hear it: everybody liked Carson Jen kins." "Carson was a big-hearted boy." "There has never been a greater mutual devotion between son ard mother than between Carson and -his mother." These remarks seemed to have found the essence of Carson's nature and characteristics. He was a big hearted boy, friendly and cordial in his bearing, and generous of soul. Few sons have ever had to a greater degree higher characteristics of filial devotion. He was indeed devoted to his mother. His countiy has taken the young life that he offered upon the altar of patriotism; but nothing can take away the immortality of self-sacrifice in behalf of a-great cause. Nothing can take away the fragrance of his -friendly spirit. Nothing can remove the memory of his devotion to his mother, so eminently characteristic "of his life. The sincere sympathies of our whole community go out in great abundance to his mother and aunt who gave themselves in unstinted devotion in the service of their boy and the hopes of a sympathizing city express themselves in wishes of speedy and lasting comfort to these sorely stricken and sorrowing souls.

Epidemic Probably Not Spanish in Origin?Germ Still Unknown?Peo ple Should Guard Against "Droplet Infection"?Surgeon General Blue i Makes Authoritative Statement j Washington, D. C?(Special.)?Al I though King Alphonso of Spam was j one of the victims of the influenza epi-1 j demic in 1893 and again this summer,1 l Spanish authorities repudiate any j ! claim to influenza as a "Spanish" dis-1 j ease. If the people of this country do j j not take care the epidemic will be-; j come so widespread throughout the i United States that soon we shall hear ! the disease called "American" influ- j ? enza. I In response to a request for definite i information concerning Spanish influ j ehza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of j ; the IT. S. Public Health Service has ! authorized the following official inter j : view: ! What is Spanish Influenza? Is it ! something new? Does it come from ! Spain? j "The disease now occurring in this; j country and called 'Spanish Influen-j j za' resembles a very contagious kind ; I of 'cold' accompanied by fever, pains1 Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases As Dangerous as Poison Gas Shells i:o the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of so-; vere sickness. In most of the cases the L symptoms disappear after three or four; days, the patient then rapidly recover- j ing. Some of the patients, however ; develop pneumonia, or inflammation; of the car, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether j this so-called 'Spanish' influenza is identical with the epidemics of influen-1 za of earlier years is not yet known. -:? ? "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country sine 1647. It is interest ing to know thac this first epi&KSi? was brought here from Valencia.; l Spain. Since that time there have; been numerous epidemics of the cf?s- j ease. In 1SS9 and 1890 an epidemic; of influenza, starting somewhere in the j I Orient, spread first to Russia andj i thence over practically the entire civ-; j ilized world. Three years later there i I was another flare-up of the disease j j Both times the epidemic spread wide-1 I ly over the United States, j "Although the present epidemic is I called 'Spanish influenza,' there is noi reason to believe that it originated in j Spain. Some writers who have studied j the question believe that the epidemic j came from the Orient and they call at tention to the' fact that the Germans! mention the disease as occurring alon? I the eastern front in the summer and! fall of 1917." How can "Spanish influenza" be rec ognized? "There is as yet no certain way in which a single case of 'Spanish influ enza' can be recognized. On the oth er hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contras: j to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year Thus the present epidemic raged most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of ordi nary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in thoii onset as they are in influenza. Final ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as docs influenza. "In most cases a person taken sick ? with influenza feels sick rather Bud* j denly. lie feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be : sore all over. Many patients feel j dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa \ tierts complain of feeling chilly, and j wiui this comes1 a fever In which the temperature ris' > to 100 to J.04. In most cases the pulse remains relative ly Slow. I "In appenra.^e one is struck by the j fact that the patientUooks sick. His ' eyes and the Inner sicK of his eyelids I I may be slightlj 'bloodlsho^^^r 'con- | : gested,' as the doctors There j j may be running from t? ' there may be some cough, 'i : of a cold may not be marked I theless the patient looks and fee1 sick. "In addition to tho appearance and the symptoms as already described examination of the patient's blood may aid the physician In recognizing 'Span ish influenza,' for it has been found ? *: m .... . I that m this disease 'the number of i white corpuscles .shows little or no in- j crease above the normal. It is possi- I "nie that the laboratory investigations now being made through the National j Research Council and the United States Hygienic Laboratory will fur nish a more certain way in which indi vidual cases of this. disease can be recognized." z tWhat is the course of the disease? Do people die of it? "Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to .four days and the patient re covers. But while the proportion of j deaths in the present epidemic has generally been low, in some places the outbreak has been severe and deaths have been numerous. When death oc- j curs it is usually the result of a com- | plication." What causes the disease and how Is J it spread? "Bacteriologists who have studied in-1 fiuenza epidemics in the past have found in many of the cases a very Small rod-shaped germ called, after its discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of disease there were found pneumococci, j the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by strepto- \ cocci, and by others germs with long names. "No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now i believed that influenza is always; spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air aK>ng 1 with the very small droplets of-mucus,! expelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one j who already has the germs of the dis ease. They may also be carried about | in the air in the form of dust coming j from dried mucus, from coughing' and i sneezing, or from careless people who i spit on the floor and on the sidewalk. As in most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others." What should be done by those who catch the disease? "It is very important that every per son- who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scattering th.e disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no one be allowed to sleep in the same room with the pa tient In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room. .'"If there is cough and sputum or running of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such dis charges are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned, j H the patient complains of fever and | headache, he should be given water to ! drink, a cold compress to the forehead \ and a light sponge. Only such medi- j cine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe and may be dan- j gerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure and harmless' remedies advertised by patent medicine manufacturers. "If the patient is so situated that he j can be attended only by some one who j must also look after others in the fam ily* it Is advisable that such attendant ! wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the j sick room acwt'slip. this off when leav- j mg to iook after the others. "Nurses and attendants will do well ! to guard against breithing in danger ? us disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask w?^fc?car the patient." V/iN a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again? "It Is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox j usually protects a person against an other attack of the same disease. This appears not to. be true of 'Spanish in fluenza.' According to newspaper re Tjoms the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epi demic thirty years ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak in Spain." How can one guard against influ enza? "In guarding against disease of al! kinds, it is important that the body be kept, strong and able to fight off dis ease germs. This can be done by hav ing a proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient whole some and properly selected food. I:: connection with diet, it is well to re member that milk is one of the bes; all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a dis ease like influenza is'concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize tb> very close relation between its spread and overcrowded homes. While it is not always possible, especially in times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowd ing to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. "When crowding is unavoidable, as in street cars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to in hale directly the air breathed out by another person. "It is especially important to bo ware of the person who coughs or sneezes without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much as possible, keen homes, offices and workshops well aired, spend so:ae time out of doors each day, walk to work if at all prac ;i<-:<.M< ? in short, make every possible efforl t? breathe as much pure air as 1 possible. l "In all henmatters follow the nd \j'v of your doctor and obey the regu laflfc>ns oi your local and slate liealtf DilicVs" "Covker up each cough and s?eeze, If yl? don't ycu'ii spre-d disease."

Thus far there have been compara tively few severe eases of influenza comparison being had with conditions in other towns and sections, and the death rate has been very low. but when there are so many persons ill in a. family at the same time?in some instances every member of a family being in bed at the same time?th>. fl.-iiu'or of nneunionia is intensified by the lack of proper attention. j The Civic League Relief Commit tee has requested Secretary Reardoi i of the Chamber of Commerce to or ganize a transportation service for Ma- volunteer nurses, and he ask that all who will furnish automobiles for ibis purpose and to carry nour ishment to tho sick notify him at once. <':iil phone 200.

F., France, July 30th, 1918? My Dearest Auntie: Received your highly appreciated letter yesterday. Have been intending to write for some time, but have, been almost con tinually on the move and have not been quite luck}- enough to be where there was a Y. M. C. A. that had any stationery. What do you thing of us being about half way between (censored) Just came in here at 1:00 a, m. this morning and liable to move any time. At least we are out of range of ordinary artillery for the first- time since February 18. What do you think of that? So you see we have a fair chance of living through the war, for anything that a man can- stand four months he stands a chance, of going through for another . four months and then he thinks he can take eight months and so on down the line. You know I came over in October, and was so seasick on my 21st birth day I can't forget that. This morning I went into a cathe dral here and I must admit it is one of the prettiest buildings I have ever entered. With its numerous images of saints, both male and female, of the past. How I wish you could have been with me for I remember how you love the beautiful of art and nature. Although this ground has been, fought over several times, if you should happen to see the flourishing condition you would little suspect that a little way to the north is wag ing one of the most heartless wars that civilization has ever witnessed. I have heard several of this com pany try to imitate the whistle of a shell but never have I heard anyone who could ever come anywhere near it, it just sounds like the others, that's all. j As for the rumble of discharged gas projectiles . I . have never heard anything like it.' Just at present I am sitting where I can see the country for miles to the south and west, but I don't care to look to the north, still everything .sounds peaceful over here. If I Jive through, when I come home I would like to bring my gas mask and hel met with me just to show you what we do under certain conditions. Will try to write to Virgil soon "but just now I have very little time to write to anybody; in fact I haven't written to my best . girl for quite a whiie. When you write Virgil tell him that it is altogether out of the question to get sick over here for the simple rea son that we haven't time. Just night before last I lay by a tree all night and listened to shells and picees of shells singing "home ' sweet home" above me. As long as they don't decide to drop on me, though, it is O. K. I am glad you think the picture good. I thought it too dark to be recognizable. Tell R. I hope to see her before another year has past, and don't_ forget to have that big gobbler fat by Xmas.
