"YOU AIN'T NO BETTER
THAN WE FOLKS IS
Old Mountain Dame Pays
Quaint Compliment to "Flu"
Nurse Who Came in the
Home of Affliction.
Richmond, Vn., Nov. 20.?"I
loves you becouso you nin't no
better than wo folks is."
This was tho unusual compli?
ment which foil upon tho ours
of Miss Agnes D. Randolph,ex?
ecutive secretary of tho Virgin?
ia Anti Tuberculosis Associa?
tion, a few days ago. And she
treasures it moro thun sho
would treasure praise from the
highest quarters, for it emanat?
ed from one who spoke from
the heart. Tho speaker was an
old mountain woman of Dickon
son county who knows nothing
of tho arts and wiles of petite
conversation but who shines
resplendent with the most sterl?
ing traits of character. Her
tribute had tho virtue of abso?
lute sincerity without the eam
outlugo of empty words.
Miss Randolph is not without
n keen sense of humor, but the
quaint compliment which came
to her provoked not the sem?
blance of a smile, for it was
born of a situation pathetic be?
yond words?yes, born of one
of those frightful tragedies of
the Spanish "flu" which invad?
ed the hills of the southwest
and claimed scores of victims.
1 lere is I he story :
After rounding up her work
as assistant director at the em?
ergency hospital in Richmond,
Miss Randolph was detailed by
the Stale Hoard of Health to do
investigation work in the conn
ties of Dickensou and Buchau -
nn. Her assignment was a
nerve-wracking one which re?
quired courage, devotion, abili?
ty ami unlimited powers of en?
durance, for her mission took
her to dome of the most isolated
mountain sections of the state
where the "llu" whs raging
and when." the people live the
simple life without luxuries of
any sort, ami often without the
ordinary comforts. In Dicken?
sou Miss Randolph found condi?
tions truly distressing, as the
dread malady had come almost
like a thief in the night and
was exacting its toll of death in
every quarter. Worse still, it
rained incessantly, and many
of the people were little short
of panic stricken.
Wishing lo concentrate her
efforts where they would be
most eifortiyo, she bravely ven?
tured into a stricken home
where evert member of tho
family of eight was down with
the grippe, What she found in
this house, which in ordinary
limes was a fairly prosperous
one, is indescribable. Three
generations w e r o ill. The
grandmother?bIio who passed
the strange compliment already
alluded to?was perhaps the
least sick of all; at any rate, it
was she who feebly strove tO do
the nursing until Miss Randolph
arrived, And then a hundred
duties fell to the lot of the
plucky woman who "ain't no
better'' than the people to whom
she ministered. Sin- mil Olli)
had to nurse the sick? and in?
cidentally to control a delirious
man?but to clean up, cook,
feed the pigs and chickens, e>el
the cow from the hills und pun?
ish the children when they
needed discipline.
Two of the patients died?the
father and mother of the little
ones?und then it became neces?
sary to move the other Buffer
erB to another house half a mile
or so away. This was accom?
plished by lantern light at
night ?iiiii a flat car was tho ve?
hicle used for hauling of the
sick. It was growsomo, indeed,
this nocturnal hegira, for bo
hind lim house remained tho
dead. And the only two pall
bearers could be found to "lay
them away" as the mountain?
eers say, for many were afraid
to approach tho ufllictcd Innio.
To mako things more dopress
ing, tho dogs on tho place suurl
od and snapped hideously at the
palLbearors as they bore oft" the
corpses.
But Miss Randolph, though
oftimes sick at heart, "saw
everything through," and siio
felt that she had received more;
than her reward when the old
woman, at best a sensitive rouI,
voiced her gratitude in the lan?
guage quoted.
