Mr. Brlce called attention to the suggestion of W. R. Bradford of Fort Mill, made as early as 1910, that York county was sorely in need of a new court house.

A VERY FINE BUILDING. Character of Temple of Justice Int wntn ? iMiurtf .iimosi as .viucn 1 as Town's Hospitality. York Special to The State, July 13. -<?-In true York county style the splendid new court house, said to be the equal of any in the Carolinas, was dedicated today The ceremony was more than a dedication service. It was a triumph for the zealous and hard working citizens who have made the county of the White Rose the important factor it is in the life of South Carolit.a. A crowd estimated at 2,000 people came to celebrate the ncninanrv of the beautiful building, just completed at a cost of $85,000. With the 1 exception of Justice Hydrick, who was forced to send regrets, the entire supreme court bench graced the occasion. Joseph T. Johnson, judge of , the United States court for the west- < ern district of South Carolina, was 1 present. About a score of lawyers ] from outside York county were present. Prominent citizens of every nearby town were on hand. Every mem- , ber of the York county bar, number j ing about 25. was present. , STANDING ROOM ONLY. , Moving forward without an unto- , ward incident to mar the perfect ar- , rangement of the program, the dedi- , cation was held in the court house . before a crowd that filled every , available inch of space and utilized t windows for seating room and the , space outside the chamber proper for , standing room. j A noteworthy feature was the numoer or rarmers in town for the , clay. Favorable weather of late has , given the planters a chance to ap- . ply some telling strokes and many , considered a holiday in order after , the effective labor. , The York Board or Trade made a 1 new record for hospitality when it ] furnished 2,500 lunches without cost : to the town's guests. These were * served to the visitors by 15 young women and ten young men on the lawn of the First Presbyterian church, opposite the court house. DEAN OF BAR PRESIDES. The exercises began at 11 o'clock with W. H. Wilson, Sr., of Rock Hill, dean of the York county bar, presiding. Space was set aside for the honored guests, the supreme court justices, bar of the county, visiting lawyers, members of the county leg islative delegation that made possible the voting of bonds, county officials, architect, contractors, grand and petit jurors. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. E. E. Gillespie, ' D. D., pastor of the First Presbyte- 1 rian church. Music was furnished by the Hickory Grove band. Thomas F. McDow of York delivered the addres in behalf of the ] York county bar. Mr. McDow's ad- i dress was an historical sketch deal- 1 ing with the four court houses which ! have been erected in York county ? within a period of 130 years. : The dedicatory address was deliv- t ered by Eugene R. Gary of Abbeville, < chief justice of the South Carolina i supreme court. The jurist declared himself not prepared for the splendor t of the new court building. Like the , queen of Sheba visiting Solomon's ] temple, he said the half had not been t ioiu. i-raising imp industrial prop- i ress of York county lie paid high | tribute to the work being done by > Winthrop College, a subject dear to ? the heart of all York folk..

Me- 1 Dow, who introduced the Bill allowing the people the opportunity of voting for the issuing of bonds for building the new court house; to Senator W. H. Stewart and Representatives Saye, Beamguard and Sanders, who assisted in the passage of the bill; to J. S. Brice, chairman of the court house commission, and to W. S. Wilkerson of Hickory Grove and John G. Anderson of Rock Hill, other members or the commission. The chief justice then proceeded with his prepared speech on the subject. The Lawyer and the People." KEYS TO COUNTY CLERK. At the conclusion of the principal address J. 3. Price. ?s chairman of the court house commission, delivered the keys of the new building to J. A. Tate, clerk of court. Mr. Brice also presented the financial statement of the commission. He pointed with pride to the fact that when the $76,000 bond issue was offered for sale to suggestion Dear iruu iar oeyonu nis expectation. On motion of Col. W. W Lewis, the bar of the county by a rising vote thanked Chief Justice Gary for the address and Associate Justices Gage. Fraser and Watts and Federal Judge Johnson for their presence. J. C. Wilburn, mayor of York, in behalf of the Board of Trade, announced that at the conclusion of the dedicatory exercises lunch would be served free to all the guests of the town. The lunch was not one to tide one over to a late dinner but was a real spread. The food had been furnished by the commercial body, prepared by the housewives of the town and served by the young people, a combination entirely fulfilling York's far-famed reputation for hospitality. n i? n 111111 ii 1111111111n > ACHIEVEMENTS OF SCIENCE ? IX PREVENTING DISEASE. ? Augusta Chronicle. The strides of science in all fields :if endeavor have been marvelous dur ing the past quarter century, but in no phase has it exceeded that accomplished in preventive medicine. Research has brought to light many of he terrors hitherto unknown and hid :len in the dismal darkness of ignoruice and prejudice. Hardly more ban thirty years ago the tubercular ;erm was discovered, enabling one :o prescribe a sane course to pursue when attacked by the great white plauge. Less than twenty years ago the ter rors of yellow fever faded when it was discovered that the mosquito ilone contributed to its spread. Along with this important revelation the century-old idea of the malarial belt of the South was proved a fallacy, for now there is no malaria where people protect themselves irom the mosquito. In these two cases not even preventive medicine is needed. It is only necessary that protection be provided against marauders that come, like a thief in the night, and steal away health. And when you steal this it must be remembered that with it goes wealth, prosperity, happiness and progress. Typhoid fever has succumbed to one of the many serum treatments. This is a plague that exacts greater toll than almost any of the common diseases, barring tuberculosis. But the source is no longer to be dreaded if the simple treatment is taken. The United States army, with its 1(10,000 soldiers scattered to the four corners of earth, had only one case of typhoid fevery in 1913, and this great accomplishment was made through the serum treatment. In the 1'nited States there occurs 300,000 deaths, according to the latest statisetics; but this is being greatly reduced every year by the widely-extended use of the typhoid serum. It is one of the most costly >f all diseases, for it entails a great imount of care a vast deal of lost ime, and where people are dependent upon their work for support it jresents a vexing problem. Of course, it must be remembered hat cleanliness, desirable sanitary conditions and other healthy surroundings will do much to preserve lie general health of the people; >ut this can not always be enjoyed, 'or one has to move outside the little iphore in which he circulates daily md in doing to may be contaminated. The safe, the sane and logical thing o do is to take the serum treatment nery two or three years and escape he dreadful toll that must be paid vhen you fall victim to the fever lienace. Slavery Originated in the Ea3t. Absolute slavery seems to have up peared in the eastern colonies some what earlier than in the southern, for slavery existed in New York in 1628 in New Jersey in 1628, in Mnssachu setts in 1630, in Connecticut in 1631 and in Delaware in 1C36. There was a statutory recognition of slavery in Massachusetts In 1641, which was considerably ahead of such recognition of slavery in Virginia or Maryland. \ Doctor's Prescription for Cough an Kffeetlve Cough Treatment.
