VOLUME LV1II, NUMBER 58. ~ * ? ( 9| NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1922. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR NEWBERRY'S PURE WATER AND EXCELLENT HEALTH Superintendent Homer Schumpert Always on the Alert With Keen Eye and Ready Hand > Mr. Homer Schumpert, the active and untiring superintendent of the Newberry water and light system, notwithstanding the f-ict that the city water was recently analyzed ?nd found to be all rig'it was considerably worried because of the preface of some typhoid fever in the community. Determining to find oiu fhe ' cause he sent another sample of the water to Charleston to have it analyzed by Dr. F. L. Parker at the office of the state board of health, so anxoius was he to see if the water here "had anything to do with tne csaes at hand. The four ca<ses were as follows: Mr. Floyd Bradley, young Berry, Mr. Otto Foster's child, and young Gilliam. Under date of the 15th instant Dr. Parker writes Mr. Schumpert a letter, a most imnortant part being the following .>entencc: "Analyses indicate water to be of good quality, and free from contamination." It is a significant ?act that there is no sewerage in the lipases whence these cases originated; which 1 ' 1' *- -v i-1? i -T v? 4-l*i 4 shows tnat mere is sumemui^ m mat statement. That the artesian water of Newberry is free of contamination and is of good quality is ciii^r for thankfulness and the public should; and doubtless does, ipp'eciate the watchful efforts of Superintendent Schumpert in exert* ag hi'Wseif to ?ee that, as far as in his power, the city shall be kept in a healthiul )ndi tion and continue to e;joy *h^ jvpjtation established. i" oau.'c f">r congratulation that tW.-'i have jeen so few cases of typhoid- in this community; and all, as we have said, arising from premises devoid of sew' erage.

J \ COLUMBIA WOMAN BOUND AND BEATEN j Unknown Men Attack Mrs. Alcthia Norman?Threatening Letter. i The State, ISth. t Attracted to the rear of her home, 2121 College street, by a rap on the back door, Mrs. Alethia Norman was i caught by two unknown men, gagged, bound and beaten. The attack was made about 5 o clock yesterday aftern /iv* c'hn C of r\ Vi n ni r? vtulji o : i v o ao u; vy n ^ at liiv. 11^/iuv. and the alarm was given about an hour later when she was found by her little daughter, semi-conscious. Last night it was said at the Norman residnecc that, while she was severely beaten, the injuries arc not thought to be serious. The police arc working 011 the cv.ic, but at an ealry hour this mornNig no arrests had been made. The principal clue is four anonymous letters, three of which were received by Mrs. Norman during last week and one of which was left by the two men yesterday afternoon. These letters threatened Mrs. Norman'; life r. rl / ' ! fori finr- vilnlir fn aiiU V. KLCV.U 11V.X * liViJ y MUVV* uui^ vv, the police. Rap on Rear Doer. Mrs. Norman said last night that she was in a front room when she heard a knock. She went to the rear to answer the rap and two men* jumped from behind a door, having already entered the house and concealed themselves. One of the men threw a towel over her face and the + mnn Tinnn/4 lior offnv tipincr tVlP t ?? V 1 1 I i I V/VUiiVi UVi 4 VwJk V< V..? towel securely about her head. The men twisted her dress about her body and bepran beating her, Mrs. Norman said. Severe bruises were made on her limbs and about the body. ! After beating Mrs. Norman the ' men threw a handful of red pepper . in her mouth, Mrs. Norman said, and left with the warning that "we are coming back and kill ytfu." this sentence being punctuated by one of the men with a vile epithet. She has no idea who the men are, being unable to say positively whether they were black or white. However, Mrs. Norman .-laid she believed they were white men. Mrs. Norman was unable to give the alarm for nearly an hour, and when her little daughter returned home she told her to call Mr. Nor man who works for the National Biscuit company. Mr. Ncrman was the first to arrive after his little daugh" * -? i- 1 i_ i.U ^ tsr. rtc round a swucn aouui me size of a thumb in the b?.th room, but was unable to say whether or not this was the instrument used by the men. The switch gave'the appearance of having been worn out on something. Mr. Norman said he was at a loss to explain the attack arjd has no idea as to who the men were. Four Le!Iters Received. Mr. Norman said one of the letters was received last Tuesday and another Friday while the third was foum) Saturday morning as he went for the morning paper. The fourth letter was left by t*Iie two men yesterday afternoon. They were all threatening. One night last week seme one threw a handful cf sand through their bedroom window, he 'said. Mrs. Norman is a rather delicate woman and said she had undergone 31 operations within the past few year?. She underwent her last operation in February of th'3 year and had net left her home except to walk to Valley park on one occasion and t') go to Green Street Methodist church to services one time since then. Detectives J. P. Broom and W. T. Kelly went to the home and all last night were working diligently on the case. and the conference sermon by the Rev. V/. H. Hudson, D. D., China, will be at 11 a. m. Sunday afternoon and night will be occupied by a special program in charge of the laymen's committee and open to everybody. We see by the papers that they are talking about holding another conference cf some kind at The Hague. It is to be hoped that the government will get after Jack Dempsey while it is investigating war frauds. I i Get Your Name on a C j Wish io Vote in the De: tions This Summer.

ANTI-TYPHOID CAMPAIGN BEING CONDUCTED Typhcid Fever Cases Resulting A : iL _ Iiaiauy nruunnj inc People Dr. Knotts, county health officer, today .stated that the anti-typhoid campaign shows no signs of iut'ting up Since it was started June 10th, over 2,500 doses of the prophyiectic s?rum have been given to the people o." the county. The increasing prevalence of typhoid a'.l over the county and that the fact that some of these cases have died have made the people in some communities attend the clinics held by the county health department i and receive the inoculation against 1 this dreaded disease. It has occurred several times that persons have come to the clinic too late. They were already oirioken with the disease. One of these cases, a negro girl at Bush River, later died and another yrang sor of Mr. Satterwhite is convalescing from the fever. 7f these persons had appji'.'ti for th2 tiva~mcnt a few weeks sooner then these <vses wculd have teer.- prevented. | The county doctors arc assis^ng in tVirt comn-iiffn -ri mnsr 1 and at the meeti-.g of the medical 'association la?3t Friday i*.2 doctors j reported many cise3 .iud also that in , many instances they hid giv-.?n the j inoculation.
