Since Oct 30 to Dec" 26. -I have vis

Influenza seems to be quite an epi
demic in the county. U-seems to be on
the increase today. It is a disease that
is spread from person to person
through direct contact. It is highly
contagious in the early stages. Prophy
laxis is practically the same as for all
other infection transferred from mouth
and nose. It is good for the patient to
go to bed and stay there.
J luring an epidemic individuals
should avoid theates, moving picture
shows, closed and crowded cars, and
avoid contact with anyone who has ca.
tarrhal symptoms.
Avoid crowds. Walk to your work.
Cover each cough and sneeze with your
handkerchief. Do riot spit on the floor
or sidewalk.
Do not use common drinking cups
and comfnon towels Use an individual
cup and individual towel.
Insist on paper cups or dach glass
sterilized at the soda fountains.
* t Keep away from insanitary eating
places
Avoid fatigue of all kind.
If taken ill, go to bed and send for a
doctor. ft
I visited and examined every home
in Atco Dec. 26, and found a great
many patients sick, as follows:
Homes visited by me, 90
Patients in bed with influenza 53
Patients in bed with pneumonia — 7
60
1 found and examined sixty patients
al) in bed, in this village as above on
I this date.
The physicians are not reporting the
cases as the law directs. - Only a very
few outside of the city of Cartersville
have reported their cases. Up to date
I hae receivved reports of 1,325 cases of
influenza in the county since Decern
' ber 1. These have been reported by
not over five physicians in the county.
I should say from the best information
f have been able to gather there has
been during December over 2.200 cases
of influenda in the county up to this
date, and over 25 cases of pneumonia,
and several deaths since Deember 1 to
date.
It is very important for the individ
ual, old and young, to toe particularly
c&Yeuil during the term of flu epidemic.

SERIOUSLY ILL
Mr. Joe Whitesides, one of the lead

en baffling to the attending physicians.
Dr. Robert Harbin, of Rome, sum
moned to his bedside last Sunday, sug
gested that he be carried to the At
lanta hospital for a more thorough ex
amination, and possible operation, in
the hope of saving his life.
Mr. Whitesides has been quite ill for
some weeks, and his condition has
steadily grown worse. Late reports
from his bedside are in effect that he is
no better, and very little hope is enter
tained for his recovery.
For a number of years he has taken
a leading part in all progressive move
ments, an donly a few months ago his
name was prominently; mentioned by
his host -of. friends as a candidate for
one of the county offices The condi

the honor, much to the regret, of those

■spared, and that he may emerge from
the present crisis, and have his health
completely restored.

delayed until 8 o'clock that night.
Accompanied by his wife and Miss
; Horton. Dr. Wyman was motoring
through from Madison to spend Christ
mas with his parents Mr. and Mrs G,
F. Wyman, in Augusta, Ga. The doc

Bedan. artd it ' was Jn this car 'they
were making ‘the trip over the Dixie
highway. *
i They passed through Cartersville

a oil and gas here, and inquired, about:
V

1 Desiring to reach Augusta by night

food speed, and, reaching the. cross
|ig, which is not protected by signals
■f any kind, and not hearing the ap
lrouching train which comes out qf a
c cep cut at this started ame -
ttle track.
The car nearly recahed safety, but
tbs engine of the fast t/ihi struck it
on the rear right wheel, and com
pletely wrecked the back end of the
sedun.
Mrs. Wyman, who happened to be
riding on the rear seat, was hurled
fifty feet through the air, her body
landing beside the railroad track in a
stream of water. She was dead when
help arrived, her neck being broken,
and she suffered other wounds about
the body, any one of which would have
I produced death, physicians say.
Miss Horton,-who was on the front
seat, was thrown twenty-live feet clear
or the car. She was unconscious, and
preliminary examinations showed her
injui|eH to be serious. She was brought
to Cirteraville abqard the train which
struck their ear, and after several
stitches had been taken in her scalp
and forehead she regained conscious
ness, and this morning was pronounced
out of dangt'r, and able to make the
journey home.
Dr. Wyman was thrown twenty feet,
but Ms injuries were comparatively
slight, although quite painful- He did
not lose consciousness, and was able
to give directions the moment assist
ance arrived.
Officials of the railroad company of
fered every possible assistance, the
Dixie Flyer bringing the entire party to
Cartersville after the accident. Dr.
Wyman has been assured that due
consideration would be given the en
tire matter oy the railroad company,
and that an amicable settlement Is cer

any assistance necessary would be
forthcoming at hip suggestion. Fortu
rniU-ly, he assured these new-rryide
