THE EDITOR'S OMISSION The article ppublished in the last issue on South Carolina should have a credit mark in some way. It is an excellent condensed outline history of South Carolina and is a paper that was read before one of the women's clubs of Newberry and the writer does not want her name published. In fact she d:d not know that the paper was going to be printed until she read it in the paper but it is so excellent a history outline of the state that we thought it would be good to print it and this much credit should be given, that it was written by one of the women of Newberry. It would be a good thing for the children who are and who may the coming session be studying the history of the state to cut this out and study it. / ??_ Another omission that may be charged up to the editor is the article by Mr. R. Y. Leavell which we stated was in the last, issue and which we made some comments upon, which did ?? Von will find it in this liUI ayy V.U1 ~ ~ ? .. ? ? issue. We suppose that every one in Newberry who is interested in the town had read the article any way because most of the people of the city read both of the papers but as we made some comments upon the article we intended to publish it. We hope that Mr. Leavell read what we said and that we may all soon get together and that something may be done very soon toward making some improvements at Rosemont. We are very sure if the people can just be got together and have some one to lead the way that the, money necessary will be '1 " -nra /In Via VP tO iorui coming evcu ix nv -think in thousands as Mr. Leavell says. There is not a citizen in the town who has not a personal interest in this place and if he should be >:o fortunate just now not to have, it will not be long: before he will have. There is not a, home in which there is not a vacant chair, and should there not be now, the time will soon come ?rV,QT% tVioro will he the vacant chair. wutu w?v? v Sooner or later we must all pass this way. Why not come together on a common ground and all pull together and make this place beautiful in name, also beautiful in reality. We can do it and we will if the trustees will just take the people who have loved ones there into their confidence and ask them and permit them to help. < > ?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <S> <e> <& The school at Chappeils closed last week and the final exercises were held on Friday evening. I drove over to the closing with Dr. R. A. Goodman, ?Viinrt nvor Tt W11S H or rauit'i i uiuvc lum vjvi. . _ most delightful trip, the weather was fine and the road in good condition. There was a large audience present as is the case at all these school closings, and I am always pleased to see the people come out and take an in teret in the school. You can not do much toward improving conditions until you get the people interested. This is a fine community, this Chap pens section tu me tuuu^. a handsome school building here, much larger than they need fit present so far as the class rooms are concerned, but the auditorium is not too large and it will not be many years before all class rooms will -be filled and we will have a high school at this place. The "chool was taught the past session by Miss Jeanie Simkins as principal and M'sses Anabel Saunders and Clarice Fore assistancts, and the term was nine months. A modern lighting system has been installed and the school had a very successful term. Several young ladies and young men finished the tenth grade and most of them will probably go to college. Rev. G. R. Pettigrew had charge of the program and the address of the evening was made by Prof. Goodman, and he made a .ipienciid ana instructive talk which pleased the people and we all had a good evening together. Hon. S. McGowan Simkins of Edgefield, and the father of th? principal of the school and-himself a native of this section, was present and we pressed him into service to present the certificates to the ones finishing the tenth grade, and he did it well and made a most excellent talk. Mrs. A. P. Coleman offers a medal open to the entire school for the child who makes the highest average in deportment and scholarship. deportment, punctuality and scholarship all being considered. The medal this year was won by Miss Eoline Dominick of the sixth grade and I made the presentation. The school at Pomaria will close on Tuesday evening and this will wind up all the schools of the county for the session of 1921-1922. I hope another year we may be able to have j longer terms in more of the schools ! and that the trustees will look a'bout i i nn/l rroi +00r>Viarc wVin arp fnmnptpnt ailU ^V.MV*1V*C ??*%? v*. w - x and who are interested in the work. I have had several conferences with trustees from several of the dis, tricts, and I am pleased that they have taken the time from their busi1 ; ness to come down and talk over the condition, and in this way we may be ; able to make some improvements. You can not do anything and make any progress until you get the people . to thinking and talking and then inter ested. The only purpose that I have is to help the children. E. H. A. SUMMERLAND COLLEGE HAS SUCCESSFUL CLOSING I.eesville, May 30.?The tenth an! nual commencement of Summerland ! college began Friday, May 26, with a i contest given by the students of the expiession department.

(ANTI-TYPHOID CAMPAIGN SOON TO BE PUT UIN I <$ J The enemies of man are many and I from birth until death, human flesh is never entirely free of some harassing influence. However, there are a ,few dreaded plagues that can be forstalled and prevented. By the grace of God we have the knowledge and by virtue of certain philanthropic organizations and the Newberry county delegation v/e have tne means to prevent probably the worst of all diseases that afflict us. I: is typhoid fever. Since the time when we have had I accurate medical records we find that typhoid fever has ravaged armies and devastated communities in epidemics and in individual cnses. The mobilization of the great army to defeat the Germna monster brought with it the oroblem of preventing this most dreaded of scourges. The records of death from typhoid fever among our boys over yonder show that practically no cases of this disease occurred. Since this is true of a large mobilization of peoples, whether military or otherwise, then it would do well to examine and see how this apparent miracle was wrought. There are two simple measures that are responsible; sanitation and inoculation. In the average town of our country the sanitary arrangements are insufficient or at least do not come up to the Stan dards that were in use in the, army. The fconditions in the rural districts are not as good as in the towns. Up until the recent years nothing has been done towards using the preven' # 1 _ i. * O/v U /?OM Y?rv*o _ Taiive mnocuiauuu. ou it iau iwuily be grasped that this disease is very prevalent and has continued year after year to kill and maim the finest in the land. There is no one who has not had a friend or a relative who has fallen a victim to typhoid fever. In those immunities where sanitation and insulation have been practiced long enough to have covered the most of the people then the results are startling. Orangeburg county has been one of the ones that had the incidence of typhoid fever reduced about 60 per cent. This decrease is not an accidental thing but has been maintained for three years while surrounding counties have shown an increase. This fact was brought out in an article written by Dr. L. A. Riser and printed in the American Medical Association Journal some time ago. So we are bringing to Newberry, not the first time, but again, the opportunity of getting the inoculation free and to have it given by expert in public UanlfVi on/1 /^icooco nrovpnt.inn Thp JiCailil UiiU UtUWUWV v> facts concerning sanitation will be brought to the door of the householder and all that has been done to make other communities free of typhoid will be done for Newberry. However, there is unothei1 essential and that is the cooperation of the people concerned. That is to say, in order for you to be free*of the pos, sibility of contagion you must agree to take this anti-typhoid treatment and to sanitate your premises. This is optional of course and is left to the intelligence of the individual. ; What will Newberry county do about it? We sfcall see. ,: In order that this treatment may be made e^sy to get and to thereby reach the greater number of people, we have prepared an itinerary to cover the whole county. It is impossible to cover the whole county in one swing so a tentative schedule has been made out and later other towns and communities are to be approach. ed. This schedule will be announced later. j It is our purpose to start this campaign on Saturday, June the 10th, > and carry it along as long as it seems . to justify the time spent on it. Last : year this same thing was done and .about two thousand people took this j treatment, however, that is a very small proportion of the people living I in this county and we want far more | to take it this summer. If only every one would be inoculated against | typhoid fever then th\s disease would be swept out of our county entirely. I E. P. Knotts, M. D. County Health Officer.

By Mrs. Agatha A. Woodson [ Miss Sadie Goggans Not only has Newberry a long line, of married women to be proud of,; but her young women are behind no < set of girls in the state. Several ofi these occupy positions of prominenceand one among these is Miss Sadie Goggants, the daughter of John C. Goeeans and Delia Long. Her fath er was descended from the Revolutionary family of Daniel Goggans, who came to Newberry from Virginia before the Revolutionary war. Her direct ancestor, Daniel Goggaws, was in Marion's command during that struggle. Another family of great refute in Saluda, Edgefield and New-; berry counties, from which she is descended is that of Peterson. Her grandfather, Jerry Goggans, married Elizabeth Peterson, sister of the be-; loved Saluda pastor, Rev. James Pet-' erson (Uncle Jimmie) so honored by every one who knew him and to whom one of the beautiful windows in Red Bank church is dedicated. She was also a sister to Captain Wm.' Spencer Peterson, who was killed at Atlanta during the War Between the States (1864). j Miss Goggans is a prominent teacher in the schools here, yet she finds time to devote to patriotic labors. She has served as supervisor of the ! rural schools in Newberry and in Richland couitties, is secretary of the Ked Cross chapter of Newberry, and cerrptnrv of thp state Woman's auxil iary of the American Legion, as well as county chairman of the same organization. j ?

WHITMIRE TEAM WINS FROM WEST END Newberry, June 2.?One of the best baseball games of the season was played before a large crowd at the West End park this afternoon between the strong Whitmire team and the West End mill team. A pitchers' ; duel was staged between Luther and ' Gilliam. The West End team staged a thrilling rally in the ninth inning but was uable to overcome the lead of the visitors. In this inning Bowen, first man up for the West End, drove the! ball down the third base line for two ! bases. Thomas, next up, drove the j ball down the third base line for a , home run, scoring tfowen aneaa 01 j him. The Whitmire team is one of j ,the strongest teams seen in Newberry; : this sason.
