South Carolina is probably not where you think it is. For example, the closest salt water ports to Chicago, 111. are Charleston, Georgetown and Port Royal right here in the Palmetto State. That makes the mid-western states area closer to South Carolina ports than any others in the east. And by the way, South Carolina's not in the east. Oconee County, for instance, is west of Detroit, Michigan. Actually South Carolina is completely west of eight of the 11 Atlantic Seaboard states. But if not in the east, there's no doubt that South Carolina is in the south?part of it is below the northern border of Mexico! Look it up. to LYDIA MILLS. CLINTON. S. II I If P POLIO! If You Don't Like It ? Polio ? Lump It December 8th is the date set for the second "Sweet Sabbath" oral polio vaccine feeding in Laurens County. Nearly 18,000 people in School District 56 ate the tasteless vaccine on sugar cubes at the first feeding held in the schools, October 27. Three drops of the vaccine begins a permanent and painless immunization against three types of polio. This vaccine is necessary to eliminate polio because even if the Salk vaccine has rendered a person immune to polio, he may still be a carrier of the polio virus and thus transmit polio to others without actually having polio himself.
