S. Mayer dangled at the end of a
rope here today, neighbors caTled in
by his wife, expressing the opinion
that they lacked "authority" to inter
fere, declined to cut the rope.

able to resuscitate the man who had
committed suicide. Warmth of the

fe^iiiiTi'
CONFEDERATE VETS
Call For All Veteran* to Unite With
U. 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.

Fighta ?
Fighting is a brutal business. There
is no denying it. 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. Keforc a Mustering bully

18 YOUR BABY REGISTERED
Fourteen Per Cent In State Are Not
Kegi?tered Says Director
:V In March, 1914, tho Genera) As
sembly of the State of South Caro
Una pawed an act to provide for the
registration of all births and deaths
in the state, and authorized the State
Board of Health to make' regulation*
prescribing- the method and form of
making auch registration.
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.
