Police who arrived later were un able to resuscitate the man who had committed suicide. Warmth of the body indicated a possibility that life was not extinct when his position first was discovered.

C V, The following circular letter has been issued from State U. 0. V. head* quarters: To the Commanders and Adjutants of U. C. V. Camps, South Carolina Division: Dear Comrades: The honor roll of South Carolina contains the names of approximately 3,000 veteran*, and ft, 000 widows. Of thjs number there ure about 1,000 veterans who are members of organized camps, who pay dues to the division and head quarters at New Orleans, La. At least* there are 2,000 vetorans who do not contribute to the divis ion, .at the same time they eqjoy nil the benefits made possible by the I efforts of those who dq contribute through the camps. > ? Two-thirds of the veteran* in the state are fioing nothing towards keeping the order alive, while the remaining one-third are doing all the work, and paying all expenses. The division needs your assistance, and the following suggestion is of fered to relieve the situation: - vLet, the commander of each camp get from the Judge of Probate of the county in which the local cami* is situated, a roll of the veterans in the county, check this roll with your camp list, and make it a point to sec every veteran who is not a member of a camp and urge him to enroll his name.# The expense will not exceed fifty cents per member, per yaar, Try this plany'And it will work out satisfactorily. Increase your eamp membership, and build it up t? n stronger organization. The committee appointed by the division will continue to appeal to the legislature from time to tlmfcV and ask for additional appropriations for the honor roll. The adjutant general will render any assistance possible, and the Judge of Probate will also assist you in carrying out the plan suggested. By order Major General D. W. McLaurin, Commanding S. C.

A man in a fight is very busy. He cannot meditate concerning methods. He must inflict considerable punishment and do it promptly. # Because fighting is brutal and tends to disarrange the face and bur den emergency wards already taxed to their capacity, it should be avoided when convenient. One way to avoid it is not to seem too eager to nvoid it. Men who are afraid to fight have trouble thrust upon them.. Of those who are afraid, very few are craven by reason of wounds; excessive caution is caused by want of experience, ignorance is the father of fear. A boy of tender yeafrs, being a primitive, has frequent occasion to do battle. If parental authority de nies him t\ie privilege of gaining ex peiience in this way, he will Jx'ar nn -eat.--; but he will develop into a man afraid of a fight. If he is privileged t<> fight when the need is urgent, he" may not he so fortunate a* to triumph, but even if he is .whipped lie will profit. He will learn that a whipping is the lesser of the two evil*, and that to receive bruises is less painful than to he a coward. If he i> whipped he i an regain his self le-pec! but he never wi!|_ bo able to whoilv forgive him-elf if he runs, li he dericd experieiieo of bat e, manhood will find him handi capped.

Regulation No. 14, of the State Board of Health rea da; It shall be the dtity of the attend ing physician or midwife to file a certificate of birth properly and com pletely filled out with the local reg istrar of the district in which the birth occurs, within ten days after date of birth. Although this regulation of the Board of Health is, by the authority of the General Assembly of South Carolina mandatory and penal, only eighty-six per cent pf the births in South Carolina are reported. Why? Because many parents of uew born infants do not realize the importance of havingr their babies registered, and do not require the attendant at the birth to file a birth certificate with the registrar within the tim6 prescrib ed by law. Practically every automobile in South Carolina is registered and only eighty-six of every one- hundred babies. An automobile has a money value and is liable to confiscation while a baBy has no economic, only a senti mental value. A human being should be of much more value to the state than a bale of cotton. Therefore, statistics of the human crop should prove of more value than statistics of the cotton crop. Yet every newspaper can and does furnish full and accurate sta tistics of the cotton crop, while only vpartial statistics cvri it 'pwrtxired of the human crop. Registration of birth does give some degree of trouble to the physi cian, \)ut is anything good ever ac complished in life that does not en tail trouble upon someone? I am pleased to say that only a few physicians are really antogonis tic to the Vital Statistics Law. A large majority observe the spirit, if <trhii^4#-'tter of the law, and the only fault to be 'found1 with them is that they often -delay sometimes for months reporting births attended by them. Some doctors say that it is the inirhvives who dt) not report. I af-? firm however, a/tej; ten years expe rience as director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics That midwives report promptly. In conclusion permit me to add that no law will be observed unless public sentiment is back' of it, and the purpose of this article is to arouse sentiment in favor of birth registration in the minds of all law abiding and right thinking citizens of your county and state. * I herewith append certain reasons why births should be registered. C. W. Miller, Director of Vital Statistics of South Carolina. I'oiHons Children Windsor. Ont., July 18. ?
