Mr. E. H. Aull,
Newberry, S. C.
Dear Mr. Aull:
T r\r\t]fL?fi an or} Kv
A I CWtiivijif nvwiwvvA ^j
you regarding1 the County Health Department.
As you evidently misunderstood
the appropriation and state
the $5000. conies from the County,
$5000. from the State and S5000. |
from the National Government, and
as this is incorrect I wish to ask you ;
to correct this statement.
The County puts up $5000; the!
State, International Health Board, |
T. B. Association, and me Kea Lross,
put up an equal amount, making a I
total appropriation of ?10,000. Of i
this amount the Internatonai Health !
Board is by far the largest contri-1
butor. 7n this connection, however,;
I might state that the County appro-,
priated $5000. for 1920, the work |
began the first day of June 1^20,
consequently ran only 7 months dur-!
i r-i rr fVinf VPSiT* For the vear 1921 the j
County appropriated $2500. The j
County Health Department ran a full j
year and has sufficient C inty funds
left to run January a\ jl February.!
In other words, on a bounty appro- j
priation of $7500. at the end of Feb-1
ruary the County Health Department j
will have run 21 months. You will \
therefore see that this Department is !
not such an expensive one after all j
and as you have given the people a !
very erroneous impression I am going:
to ask you to correct- it.
The state this year grave us an ap- j
propriation of only $10,000. and as j
this ran the administration office and !
gave financial assistaance to six Coun
ties, Newberry being one of them, j
you "will readily see that the States j
part was very small. The National j
Government gives us nothing. The
International Health Board is in no
way connected with the government 1
but is a part of the Rockefeller Foun
1
dation.
The idea of this Department is to '
as?ist Counties financially until they
see the advantage of a County Health!
Department, men tney are asxeu
take over the Department and make |
full appropriation necessary. This!
was done in one county last year and
we have one county this year which j
will be selfsupporting, allowing us
to assist some other county. 1
The money which is given by the j
international health board and the
state pays the salary of the J
health officer and allows him travel- j
ing expense account for gas, oil, and j
upkeep of his car. He is required to i
furnish his own car. The salary of
the nurse is paid by the county. Her !
car is furnished by the Red Cross, and
the Red Cross and T. B. association!
pay for upkeep of this car. The in- j
spector furnishes his own car and up- |
keep of same. His salary is paid by!
the county. The stenographer's salary
is paid by the county, and the I
county also pays all office expenses in-1
eluding rent for office. In the ma- j
jorlty of other counties this office is
furnished free of charge in the court j
house but as this was not possible in
ucii^v it ?; ucv.rasrti^ i-u u ;u <;;
office.
The people in the country and small i
towns are more familiar with the
work of the county health depart- j
ment as a rule than are the people in
the cities as the work is principally J
rural work.
Very truly yours,
T A Piwv \T n

Our service officer gave an interestng
report. If you have a claim
Lgainst the government, see B. V.

Harford }.lc\'ider. our boss at naional
headquarters, is coming to Cour.vbia
some time in February. The
;xact date is not known. But when
le comes a conference of legionnaires
hroughout the state will be called to
neet the distinguished gentleman.
i*ou will like McNider. He has been
ailed a regular ''he-man." As typial
of the-man the following story is
old: McXider had been "pigeontoled"
as an instructor in one of the
raining camps in the A. E. F. He
vns very anxious to get up to the
ront. He repeatedly appealed to the
ommanding officer of the camp to
rrant his request. Finally, one day
- - i-?i,..i
he officer m desperation uawicu ou?,,
'Get the he!! out of here, and don't
on show your face around hero
jain." Aimed only with this verbal
rder ho proceeded to the front. He
- tt
cent up as a lieutenant, m: n?? iturned
as a lieutenant colore! with a
lumber of citations, etc., attached to
i:.s record. Our post wants to he repesented
wiih a large delegation when
:e comes to Columbia. Be thinking
.bout it.
T.umnkir. and Sawyer, our depart
iient commander and adjutant, are
ttendang a jrener:;! conference of

?! SELLING TO FARMERS
HOME RAISED COR?
J
i Talking about diversification ;>nc
marketing of crop? there is a p/actica
; and an ocular demonstration of hov
" the tiling can be done rijrht here ir
Newberry, and ihe demonstration i:
' heir.lt made by one of the largest, i
' not the largest, general mere hand: si
COTlv.v,1 TlIS 111 luxi b ui i.iv cuu':.
: Summer Brothers company are ;.o
oislv large merchants, but t'uv ah(
", operate a large farm, or rather w<
should *say, several large farms ir
' the county, and these f^rms a:<
' managed by practical farmers anr
men who know how to make crops aiu
to make what the farm needs on tht
farm. And besides that they have
large surplus crops of things to eal
" * ! *U,
and to teed on mese iarms, <mu wu
past year they made good cotton crop:
as well on all the farms.
The Summer Brothers companj
' made on these farms the past year
from 8.000 to 10.000 bushels of corr
, and they are now selling some of tha
' i corn to the farmers of this county t<
i rv>nl-r> Trip pnmiiier croD with, and thest
farmers could have made the corr
they needed if they just had taken the
': trouble to make it and not dependet
i on the cotton to buy what they neee
to eat and to feed the stock on theii
' farms. And if you do not believe
'. this story you just walk in one of the
"j warehouses of the Summer Brothers
company at their grocery store righl
.here in Newberry and see piled ur
' there large rows of two bushel s?<ck;
. of corn which was grown on the farms
. in Newberry, and it is fine corn, ant
i l
i according to some of the farmers whc
: have been purchasing it a much "bettci
' grade than any corn that can be ship
ped into this market.
' j And beside:; the corn they have
large crops of oats and wheat ant
have bteled tons of fine hay all oi
! which they are selling to the farmers
[ of the county, and all of which, or z
I * 7
silimalr amount, the farmers shoulc
have made themselves instead of buy
ing: it from merchant farmers.
[j And R. M. Werts and E. B. Feagle
' and Oscar'Peterson who are managf
' ing the farms for this company, anc
'.possibly some others, made fine crops
! of cotton the past year in spite of the
; boll weevil. And we say the farmers
I of this county can master the bol
weevil if they make up their mind;
- - - ',
to do it, but the first step is to make
all the food stuff that vou need right
i *
i on the farm and you have about con;.
que-red the weevil the moment you
' j do tha,t.
j And then just think of the meal
such farmers can have and do have
. because you can turn corn into hogs
and chickens and turkeys and cattle
j and just lots of things that you will
j have to buy if you do not have the
corn, and these merchant farmers are
doing that very thing on these farms
'and then they can and they do nave
nice fat mules and with that sort oi
. stock you can make a crop,
j Xo sane and sensible man who owns
a farm or who rents a farm should
expect any one to tell him to do these
things. He should use his head a?
well as his hands and proceed to make
' corn and hay and have plenty of meal
i and bread and all the things upor
-which sustain life of man and beast.
And you can take it from us the farmer
who has been practicing any oth
er system in this county you can <?en,
orally see it and s.pot him when you
it will do you ?ood to walk in this
store and ?0 back in one of the warerooms
and take a look at the lor.;,'
drive alonjr the road by his home,
this very corn was jrrown and sacked
in Newberry, and if you are a farmer
vnn will <ro riirht back home and de
I *? ? -*
jtemir.e that henceforth and now on
! ycu will buy no corn for your farm
j unless something worse than the boll
( weevil comes along and destroys tht
, crop. And then look at the big sacks
'of oats that are being sold to the
farmers trom me nems ngm r.ere m
! Newberry county. Well, if the average
farmer will not grow these
things himself it is much better, ar.:l
he is fortunate to he able to buy them
and to know that when he does th ;t

only in the home and in -the rearing

has attained. Mr. Mann has plac
seventy-six winters behind him to

_ : Mr. Mann came to Newberry fr
Laurens, I think it was, in the fall

this country from the old world wh<
he was born. He began his busin
career in the store room where
now located the photo studio of 1
Suiters in lower cr west Main strt
and remained there until the lat
pat of 1S77 cr early 1873, and t(
he moved across the street and a
1 tie further east in a storeroom t!
he bought and used not only for
business but as his residence for ma
years. Ho never had a fire and nei
made an assignment. The many fi:

ALIBI IS CLAIMED
FOR THREE SUSPECTS
Railroad Officials, Citizens of Augusta,

Protest
Aiken, S. C., Jan. 17.?A delegation
of twelve business men and farmers
of Hephzibah, Ga., accompanied
by officials of the Georgia & Florida
railroad and the construction company
at Hephzibah, arrived here early
this afternoon to offer their assistance
to the three men and a woman held
here for forgery and conspiracy.
Members of the delegation announced
that they had overwhelming
proof that all involved were at work
at the Hephzibah camp the day the
Aiken bank was swindled, and that
they were prepared to back the ac-.1
inr at ?* _

turned back to them.
Mr. and Mrs. $. H. Padgett, J. C.
Westbury and Melton Lyles, all employes
at the Hephzibah construction
camp, 18 miles from Augusta, were
arrested in an Augusta hotel Sunday
morning by a detective, assisted' by
Augusta and Aiken officers, being
charged with forging checks and cutting
wires at Aiken, S. C., Newberry,
S. C., Griffin, G3., Americus, Ga., and
LaGrange, Ga. They are now held in
jail at Aiken.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 17.?A delegation
composed of Georgia and Florida
railroad officials, citizens of Augusta,
Hephzibah, Ga., and Blythe, Ga., left
here this morning for Aikeij, S. C.,
where they will try to clear up th?
incarceration there of Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Padgett, J. C. Westbury and
Milton Lyle, in connection with pass
ing of "bozus checks" on three Arken
banks last Thursday.
Residents of Hephzibah, where the
Georgia & Florida construction camp
is located and where Padgett is employed
as superintendent of construction
and where Lyle and Westbury
work, told the newspaper men this
morning that the three men were at
work at the construction camp on
Thursday, the day of the Aiken forgeries.
Hephzibah is aroused over
the arrest of the men and the woman
and the delegation of citizens left
there this morning determined to
clear up the charges.
According: to information from
Aiken the bonds of the three men
have been fixed at $4,000 each and
that of Mrs. Padgett at $3,000. The
charges in each case 7 e forgery and
conspiracy.
Newberry, Jan. 17.?Bankers who
made a last trip to AiKen yesteraay
