The Grip Epidemic.
Apparently the grip has come to stay.
When this mysterious disdase hret ap
peared a few winters ago, it was hoped
that it might vanish after ravaging
various parts of the earth; but it returned
and it still continues to reappear With
the approach of cold weather. Great
Britain and the continent of Europe
have been suffering from it for weeks
past, and there has been a large increase
in the death rate by reason of it. The
disease has also manifested itself in
various parts of the United States al
ready, its prevalence being reported sim
ultaneously in places as far apart as
Dover, X. H., Leavenworth, Kan., and
Memphis. It is most insidious in its
attack, but it is a consolation to be as
sured by the medical profession that it
can be guarded against to a great extent
by maintenance of the general health.
Nobody can be to careful about taking
cold or running'any risk of overexhaus
tion, for it is when the system is thus
weakened that one is most liable to be-
rictim.

Excitement Over the Death of iter
Child the Probable Cause.
The news of the death of the in-
fnut child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W.
Bennett this morning, was followed
at a? out 10 o’clock with the rumor
that Mrs. Bennett had dropped dead
at her home. ^ Investigation proved
that the rumor was true. It seems
that Mis. Bennett was standing in
the hall when the coftin for the babe
was brought in. The shock was pro
bably too much for her overstrained
nerves and she feli to the floor and
expired in a few minutes. Physic
ians were summoned and restoratives
speedily applied, but to no purpose,
the vital spark had fled. The com
munity is greatly shocked over the
x lanimauon. j occurrence. Mrs. Bennett bad not
to be not only gay. J been ill, but was probably worn out
and prostrated by the sickness and
death of her child. Heart failure
was the cause of her death. The be
reaved husband and friends have our

The (InllloP le for South Carolina.
The Savannah News says:
It would not be in the least surprising
if the South Carolina legislature should
adopt the guillotine for the punishment
of rapists, as proposed by Representative
Williams and reported in our dispatches
yesterday. All the scheme needs to in
sure its acceptance is Governor Tillman’s
sanction, and as lie is apt to do unex
pected things the sanction may be given.
It may be doubted that the guillotine
would have any greater moral-effect than
the gallows, but the establishment of a
state guillotine would create another of
fice, that of executioner, to he filled by
the governor.
