Raleigh, Dec. 23.—Although there
has been a decided increase In the

in North Carolina during the past
week or ten days, with 283 new canes

eral Statewide epidemic of influenza

mild epidemic may result. Dr. Hamil
ton said.
So far this month a total of 544 in
fluenza cases have been reported to
the board of health, as compared with
only 88 cases for all of December in
