Worthy Hugfeationn ux Offered by
Min. Louise M. Brown
ill** Laura Blackburn of the
Ituicuu of Child Hygiene of tho State
Board pf Health was in Camden re
cfiitly. She states that South Caro
lina )h now out of the registration
area due to the faet that a large
number of birth* are not recorded.
The last statistics show that thi? state
has the highest infant mortality rata
iffr the country. The past year a great
deal of work has been done to lower
this high death rate but, as we are
out of the registration area, South
Carolina cannot get the credit for its
improvement, A child needs a birth
certificate as evidence when starting
or leaving school, getting work, going
to other countries, inheriting prop
erty, marrying, voting, settling in
surance and pensi6ns or when claim
ing exemption from jury or military
service, it gives a child his rights an
a citizen, and it naves much trouble
or .possible loss in the .years to come.
'Schools are opening again after the
holiday} and this is the season when
school < hiltjrcn have colds and mild
cases of flu. if the child te general
condition in good, he is leas suscepti
bio t? infection. Sleeping long hours
with the window* open, . drinking
plenty of water, eating a nourishing
diet at regular time*, and eyereise out
of doors, all help .strengthen resist
imri1 to disease. A child with a
severe %t*old should have a complete
warm bath and be put to bed, given
a laxative, urged to drink water free
ly, put on light diet, and be kept
away from other children. If the
child does uot respond to this .simple
care, cull your family physician at
once.
During these winter months it is
very necessary that school children j
have a nourishing breakfast before!
starting out for scHfcol. Some chil
dren have to walk great distances
while others must ride miles in cars
or buggies. They cannot be expected
to have active minds or healthy bodies
when they start the day on a cup of
coffee or a biscuit.
W. F. Cleveland, of Kau Claire,, a
Columbia suburb, has announced that
he will be a candidate before the

Avert Wreck and Hay Be Rewarded
By Railway Company
Greenville, Dec. SO. ? Two unidenti
fied North Carolina youths yesterday
earned a ride home by flagging the
Southern Railway's Piedmont Limited
and possibly averting a serious wreck
according to information given out
here today.
i in train from N*qw Orleans to
New York left Atlanta on time, be
ing due in Oreenvllle at 12:55 o'clock.
Near Buford, Ga., two men were seen
standing in the middle of the track,
both of them flagging frantically.
The train of ten coaches came to a
stop and the engineer and members
of the train crew jumped to the
grouud to learn that a, split rail had
been discovered i short distance up
the track.
' Members of the train cjew rushed
forward to examine the rail, being
directbd by the two youths. After
a consultation it was decided that the
rail ^ould withstand the weight of
the train at a moderate speed. The
engine and heavy train went over at
a slow rate while many of thk pas
sengers returning from a season of
pleasure at various Southern resorts,
never realised how ^.narrowly they
came to befog in what might Ivave
be<n a serious wreck.
The two youths, w^o said they had
been in Florida and after being
stranded, were walking to their home
in North Carolina, were placed on
board tho train and given free trans
portation. It was said here today
tha^ further recognition of their ser
vices might be made by the Southern
Railway, although the names of the
two youths were not known to local
officials of the railroad.

GOT HIS MILLION
Ambitious s Youth Realizes Dream;
Satisfied; Now Quits.
Boston, Dec. 30; ? :Thtfrty-one years
ago a 14-year-old apprentice mechanic I
in the Depew, ^4. Y., shops of the New
York Central railroad, told a little
group of grease smeared companions
that- when Hfe made a million dollars
he would retire. They laughed and
told him that with his ten cents an
hour salary he never need worry over
his million ? or his "retirement. ' But
on New Year's day that apprentice
mechanic will retire. He is Joseph S.
Donovan, president and treasurer of
the Donovan Motor Car company of
Boston, an automobile distributing
agency. He has made his million and
intends to fulfill his promise.
The promise was prompted by the
sight of an old man .feebly making
his way to an office where he hoped
to amass more millions. He already
had one million and Donovan resolved
that that was enough for any man.
The apprentice mechanic determined
he never would allow himself to be
come such a spectacle. He never
wanted to be seen tottering after
greater wealth in his old age.
On New Year's formal announce
ment of his retirement as head of his
company will be made at a dinner of
the employes. After that he intends
to devot? himself to play, which in
all probability will mean winter golf:
in Florida and idle summers along the
New England coast, with now and
then a hunting expedition or a trip
abroad thrown in.
Beginning work at the age of 11,
Donovan was in turn a drug store
clerk, railroad car tinker, soldier, au
tomobile mechanic, second hand m<JWr
car dealer and sub-agency head. Ia
1912, he assumed control .of the
agency which today bears his-4iame
and from which\he drew his million.

tured. Stokes did not seem to know
how the accident happened, and stated
that, he* had fallen over some rocks
but Dr: Epps; who attended the in
jured man, thiftks he must have been
run over by a passing automobile, as
he is suffering from injuries about the .
head as well as the broken leg. Mr/
Stokes lives on a farm on the Bishop
ville road.-ySumter Herald.
