CWJKTT MEDICAX SOCIETY
HAS GOOD .MEETING
i
' Regular meeting of the Newberrv
County Medical society was held in
the city council chamber Friday afternoon,
July 13, with twenty physi*
cians present. The secretary read a
letter from Dr. Rupert Blue, President
of the American Medical association,
asking that "the county society
determine th^ number of physicians
within its jurisdiction who are under
55 years of age, and who of these are
' physiciaily and professionally quali^
fied for service in Medical Reserve
Corps; also how many and who could
be spared from their respective local-!
* ities, and report to the secretary of
^ ? State Medical association as well as
the secretary of A. M. A." After
some discussion a motion was made
I
and carried that the president, vicepresident
and secretary of the society
he constituted a committee to com-:
ply with the request in so far as is
0 practicable and forward the report, j
The society was also asked to take
action looking to the safeguarding of
the personal interests of the physi-;
* cians who may be called into activeservice
in the United States army. It:
was moved and carried that the fol-j
lowing resolution adopted by Soutn:
Carolina Medical association be en-!
dorsed by this society.
Resolved, That the South Carolina'
Medical association recognize the pa-]
triotism of those members of the med-,
ical profession resident in South Car-j
olioa who volunteer for the services
of the United States government, and:
in appreciation of this we recommend!
_ that should these members of the
^ i
profession be called into active ser-j
F ,
ice, the doctors who shall attend their (
I>atieiit3 should turn over one-third
of the fees collected from such pa-'
r tients to the physician m active service
or to his family.
WHY FRANCE NEEDS AID.
Written by J. Lothrop Stoddard, An-;
' thor of "Present Day Europe."
The spirit of France is magnificent,'
. incomparable. What is lacking is

that Prance is bleeding to death. The
tragic effects of the national hemor-,
i rhage are becoming increasingly patb
ent with every j?assing day. Since the
A beginning of the war France must
hare lost 3,000,000 men. There canHcot
be more than 1,500,000 Frenchmen
BHleft who are fit to bear arms, and .of
vffBthese 250,000 are in munition facto-j
ft*ies and other indispensable civilian
Kfllposts, while fully 150,000 are at Sal ?

ittle more than 1,000,000 soldiers for
the "battle lines in Northeastern
France. . Of course every year brings
its fresh crop of youth, but the aninual
French military class tis less;'
than SjO.OOO, the class of 1918'
is already wi the colors. France
has done her .ery 'best. She has
given her heart's blood to the cause
cf liberty. She will be able to hold
jMpinished portion of the western
flit?but that is all.
Hrhe internal condition of France *s
K might be expected, critical. The
jiplete absence of the able-bodied
nen has profoundly disorganized
m 1
W both her industrial ana ner agricui[
tural life. True the women of France
are showing a spirit fully the equal of
I their men's, hut all the spirit in the
I world will not make up for inferior
f strength and relative lack of staying
power in hard manual labor. The
fields of France are therefore inefficiently
tilled, while many lines of in-;
dustry are hopelesslly handicapped. ' |
In fact. French industry was dealt,
& body-blow at the very start of the'
war. The majority of France's coal
i
I and iron mines and the chief indus-;
I trial centers lie in the east and north j
and most of these therefore fell a:
^ prey to the German invader. Hence,'
i: ^France has been compelled to import
RMmost of its iron and coal?a herculean!
Y* task, especially now that water trans- J
I portation is becoming such a difficult
ft problem owing to the German U-!

K A Hawaiian pest, affecting many!

I India. This was introduced little'

M. M. LIVINGSTON'S MILL
AND LUttBEil BURNED
A phone message 011 Monday !
-brought the news that the lumber and
saw mill of Mr. M. M. Livingston was j
burning. This was about 2 o'clock, j
The mill is located some eight miles I
from Newberry on Mr. A. H. F. '
Scheck's place. Just how the fire i
originated and to what extent it had '
burned we could not learn, it was i
stated that Mr. H. 0. Long about two
\Veeks ago purchased about 100,000
feet of the lumber but just how much
"ae had removed we did n\>t learn.

Greenville News. i
The Columbia Record thus Commends
the service of Representative
A. F. Lever:
Where the Columbia and Greenville
road crosses the Broad River,
26 miles west of Columbia is a little
station, Peak's, a typical country village.
Up to four or five years ago
this was the home of Asbury F Lever,
congresman from the Seventh
district.
"The success of this big little man
shows what many a boy may do if he
has character, ambition, tenacity and
courage. '?Frank Lever was but a
lad when he was elected to congress.
He made good from the start and
when the Democrats goi mio cunuuz
of Congress he became chairman of
the great committee on agriculture.
"This is more than a title, more
than an honor. It is a job. It carries
hard work. In one year his committee
passes upon or originates appropriations
for more than twenty million
dollars, which is about as much as the
State of South Carolina expends for
all purposes in ten years.
"The agriculture of the United
Stat'es and especially of the South has
felt the quickening impulse of instruction
by trained workers. We have
seen the effects right here in Richland
county.
"The government's policy toward
agricultural development has not been
at a standstill since Mr. Lever became
chairman of this committee,
and every year has seen newer and
bolder ^undertakings. So successful
have they been that it was with confidence
that the administration com**

the fight for legislation to control the I
food supply.
"That was a real fight. The people
at large know nothing of it. The
heaviest part of the work and of the
fighting was in the committee room.
It would have been impossible for a
chairman without the confidence of
Ms committee to have brought out a,'
J f
favorable report under the auspices
that Mr. Lever did. |"
"The debate on the floor of the
house lasted ^ell up mio ^aiuiuay
night, and we feel sure that the re- i
suit must have been a great gratifi-.i
cation to Mr. Lever, tired after a week
of floor management. But seven ;
votes against it?against a bill which
is the boldest step this country has <
ever made to wrest an unlawful pow
er from the food barons, an auto- :
cracy of price fixing that has robbed
the country.
"The people of Lexington, of the seventh
district of South Carolina,'
should be proud of the work of Con- j.
gressman Lever in this great under-;;
taking, and should let him know how ,
they feel about it. Even those who' ]
might not care for the legislation it-' self
must respect his handling of the
fight which at one time seemed next ,
to impossible." j,

The American people have not come,
to appreciate where there is the mosti
money in agriculture at the present
time. The big profit is not in the
rich valley lands of the West or the '
fine rolling prairie land. The agrisul-j

through sub-irrigation and throughfavorable
climate to raise garden.

A Scotch minister was walking;
through a street in the village one '
misty evening when he fell into a
deep mud hole. There was no ladder j
by which he could make hiis escajjp,
and hebegan to shout for help. A pas
sing laborer heard his cries, and,!
looking down, asked who he was. The
minister told him, whereupon the
laborer remarked:

noise. You'll not be needed afore
