court house in this city Friday morn

late years. He was xprobably the
oldest citizen of this county, and his |
age is variously estimated from 100
to 105, though there are many who
believe him even older. He was bom
a slave, but all records of his birth
have long since been lost. He was an
industrious old darkey and up to a
few yetars ago worked every day.
He suffered a fall and was badly
crippled and since that time has been
an object of charity. He had the
good will of both races and was well
respected.
What is believed to be America's
first apartment house was built in
New Orleans by the Baroness Pontal
ba, daughter of the Spanish Gov
ernor Of Louisiana. It fvt erected in

(>lee Club Scores Success.
The entertainment given by the
Glee Club of the University of South
Carolina was a success in every par
ticular, save perhaps the fact' of a
Suin!! uuuicntc. Ma inert' were several
rival attractions Monday evening.
Those who were fortunate enough to
be present enjoyed an hour of clean,
good music and catchy songs. There
was not a dull moment in the entire
prograirt. It was through the efforts
of . the efficient music teacher, Miss
Josephine Alexander, that the enter
tainment' was given and the proceeds
went to the music department of the
school. Ifi*
After the entertainment the college
students attended the St. Patrick's
dance at the Camden Country Club,
as the guests of the Hospital Auxil
iary. The Glee Club was pleased
with Camden and Camden was more
than pleased with the club.
A Benefit With a Strong Appeal.
An entertainment that is said to be
delightful in every respect, with
.music, song and abounding in humor,
will be gi^en at the Grammar School
auditorium this, Friday, evening at
8 o'clock under the auspices of the
Association of the Blind. Its object
is to' help the blind help themselves,
'and its purpose is to build a home
and workshop in order that adult
blind'^may be self supporting and
happy. , Let us < beg the publif to
patronize this benefit. No admission
will be charged but any contribution if
only twenty-five cents will be thank
fully received, or contributions may
be sent to Mrs. Margaret Mayfield.
Surely no stronger appeal could be
made or one that would ; go more
straight to the heart of ? humanity.
We quote the following from Senator
Alan Johnstone: #
"Let us do our duty to these people,
who ask for sympathy and. work, not
pity and charity; who want to be
producers, not consumers, and assist
them in becoming an asset to our
State. Lot us give them this decent
building to Itte in properly ?tfd fe
ceive vocational training that
might add to them the privilege of
an honorable living, these people who
are helpless, and in giving this, we
also give them contentment and hap
piness."

Measles, according to the last
United States cynsus, causes yearly
nearly thirteen thousand deaths,
while smallpox causes go few that it
is not listed - among' the important
causes of death. Scarlet fever causes
sixty-three hundred and thirty-three
deaths, as,, compared with tiv*s
thousand from appendicitis. Whoop
ing1 cough causesninety-nine hundred
and fifty-eight deaths, and malaria
causes a few more.
The war doctor, Dr. Woods Hutch
inson, says: "At least two-thirds, and
more, probably nine-tenths of the
deaths from children's diseases might
be prevented. First; by preventing
the spread of the living germ that
causes the disease, and sdtondly, and
much more important perhaps, by the
proper care of the children after such
diseases have been taken. A largo
majority of the thirteen thousand
deaths attributed to measles are due
to bronchitis, caught by letting the
child go out of doors too soon after
rocovery."
At the schools we are trying to
do our part, both to prevent the
spread of the epidcmic of measles and
to protect the child after he has had
the attack. Are you doing your
part ? Have you consulted a doctor.?'
Have you read the health law? Do
you know the quarantine period for
measles in your town? Is the quaran
tine enforced? Do you allow visiting
In your home where there is a case
of measles? Do you allow that child
who has just recovered to visit at
other homes? Ask your health officer
the length of the period of quaran
tine. J. G. Richards, Jr.

Dear Dr. Bruce: ?
In reply to your inquiry 1 am glad
to inform you that the kind and
amount of poison* I used on -the
balance of my cotton this year, where :
I made 433 pounds of lint cotton less
per acre* than I made per acre where
I used your exterminator, was two
applications of Ixlxl mixture and one
application of Calcium Arsenate dust. 1
I used the Ixlxl about the time my
cotton commenced squaring and- the
dust the latter part of July or the
first of August. There was practi-i
cally no difference in the land or kind
and amount of fertilizer' used.
Your demonstration?as you will
remember ? was planted in the King
Big Boll long staple, and' the other
part of my farm was planted in the
Cleveland Big Boll.
If there is anything you wish to
know concerning this matter, don't
hesitate to writo me.
