Bowever, at 3 o'clock this morning.
But the verdict was not made known

^Lu-11 Pule and Mrs. Frances Pate
Birkland, the latter the widow of the
Bain man, were not in the oourt room
hen the verdict was pronounced.
B This has been one of the most unBsual
cases ever tried here. I^ocal
Bourt officials and lawyers state that
Bcvti have they known a wife t?
Beatify against her pwn husband here.
B- a^K0 very unusual they say to'
Bear a daughter testify against her

I The case went to the jury last

There is another charge against
Bate. Sheriff Hardwin. of Bamberg,
B" morning arrested him on a warB^hI
of assault and battery with inv
Bpnl to kill. This charge was l^ought

B PIS^> LEANING TOWER
Ik Being Bolstered up With Concrete
to Save It. ? .
B Concrete is being forced under the
foundation of the leaning tower of
Pisa, in Italy, in an effort to save the
famous medieval structure. The tip*
ping of the tower has increased
Bsteadily and fear was felt for its
Bsafety.
B When measured a hundred years
B*?? the tower was fifteen and onefcalf
feet out* of "the-^peryeitdictiittr.
n 1910 it was sixteen and one-half
B^et. The foundation descends only
Bn feet into the ground. A recent
urvey?was made of the subsoil un erneath
to see what strengthening
Bneasures could be undertaken. It
B'a? decided to force concrete under
Bthe walls, which are thirteen feet
thick at the base.
The tower, with its eight stories,
rises 179 feet, and is constructed
throughout of marble. Experts who
ht^ye studied it believe that the tower
asumed its leaning position while un
der construction, early in the twelfth
century, and that its designers did
B*ot intend it to lean.

/''Something About Antitoxin 1
The child coming down with diphtheria
has a moderate fever and doe?
not wish to play. Hia appetite le
poor and his parents think he is
"upset" from some cause. The
throat is red and sore but the soreness
at first is not severe. Soon the
tonsils become enlarged and there begin
to appear on them whitish spots
which rapidly spread and unite to
form what is known as the false
membrane. The color of this membrane
soon becomes yellow or gray
or even blackish. If its rapid growth
is not checked it may extend downward
into the windpipe and strangle
the patient. Unless this happens,
however, it must be remembered that
the local effects in the throat are of
small consequence. It is the saturation
of thfe entire body with the deadly
toxins that is to be feared, and it
is necessary to get antitoxin into the
child's blood to neutralise these toxins
and rteirtler them harmless before
they have time to damage the vital
organs and cause death or serious
impairment of health. Antitoxin canpot
undo injury that has already been
done; it cap only prevent further in'jury
If given in time.
The first antitoxin was produced
from horses, but a great deal of the
product used today comes from sheen.
That distributed by the South Carolina
State Board of Health is made
from sheep scrum. A few people
/tyve a peculiar sensitiveness to
horse serum and cannot take it, but
they experience no difficulty with
that from sheep. It is dangerous for
a welt1 person who is subject to "horse
asthma" to take horse-serum antitoxin
as a preventive but, according
to Kosenau, there is no case on record
of serious results following the administration
of antitoxin to a person
ill with diphtheria.
Dr. James A. Hayne, State Health
Officer, advises that,''* when diph
theria appears in a community in
which the children have not been
previously immunized, steps be taken
to give those who have been exposed
immediate protection by means of
preventive doses of antitoxin unless
they can be seen daily by a physician.
If they can be closely watched and
the curative dose given on the first
appearance of symptoms the preventive
dose need not be given. If
a child has previous^ had a dose of
any kind of serum, or is subject to
"horse asthma," he should -not be
given the preventive dose of antitoxin,
but should be watched closely
for symptoms. After all danger from
the outbreak is over toxin-antitoxin
should be given to.jevery child under
seven and to all older children who
are found by the Schick test to be
* susceptible. Immunity conferred by
preventive doses of antitoxin i?, immediate
but of short duration, good
for only about three weeks. That
derived from toxin-antitoxin is slowly
acquired, taking from three to six
months, but is more lasting.
The War's' Cost
- Q
It has now been figured out "finally"?after
10 years?tfyat the World
war cost 37,000,000 lives and $363,000,000,000.
These figures were reached by a
committee of experts at Paris preparing
a report for the League of Nations.
They found that Germany and
France bore the heaviest burden in
casualties?Germany ?With 7,142,561
and France with 6,160,000. Taking
the two sides in comparison the allies
with the United States lost 5,400,000
while the central powers lost 3,400,000
killed. The loss in reduction of
births during the four and a half
years of the war together with the
lost reproduction power of nearly
9,000,000 killed was figured out tfr bo
22,850,000. The ^excess of deaths
Caused by war over the normal rate
" of the battlefields was figured to bo
6,000,000?a grand total of about 87,000,000.
On the financial fide France and
Germany were also the greatest sufi
ferers. But the total cost can only
| be guossed at since reparations and
pensions are to be paid for many
years to come. No doubt later and
different estimates will be made.?

Here and There
1 asked Uncle Joe what had become
of the lightning rod agents, and
he said all of them were now engaged
in selling traffic light systems
to our little townB. Uncle Joe
said that he always felt like a fool
sitting there in his car waiting for
the green lights to come on when his
lizzie was the only vehicle unywhere's
about and I told him if he felt like
a fool then he felt like he looks all
the time, and then I dodged a left
punch to the chin,
Aunt Minervy is a great germ
dodger. The other night she hollored
at Susie and told her to stand
back from that radio while that announcer
was sneezing as she didn't
want her to catch the llu. After
shaking hands with peddlers, which
she always does, she's si) sociable,
she goes right straight and souks her
hands in an iodine solution. She
won't drink after nobody, not even
Uncle Joe. She found out abou.,
germs last yeur when blood poison
set in on "Brother Jim" where the
mule bit him right behind the wood
house.

goat for my subject which I have and
his name is Hanky and he butts me
ever time 1 am looking the other way
and the way lie do smell worries ma
put nigh to death, but I loll her just,
think of how much use is helping
me to haul wood and clothes, and
she says if he is that much help, looks
like 1 orter keep him washed, but I
tried that onct and he diddent smell
good, no longer than it took ma's
cake of soap I used out of the com-,
pany room to dry off, and they are
also good to eat if killed on the right
time of the moon to get rednf they
oder and that's all I care to say about
goats in this peace.

The Dead* Beat
A dt'Hd ?wut is u living corpae
which thrives on what it can leach,
His promises are not worth 6 cents
a dozen, hiu! i)is wife is generally
bud off when he is asked to pay for
whnt he got by false pretense. He
is always broke. He is worth lo
his community just exactly what a
spider in the dumplings is worth to
the dumplings.
' ^
A dead-beat never dies young, ami '
when he dies at all, his kinfolks havo
to bury him. lie would not think of
stealing at night, but he thinks buying
on credit witjh no intention of
paying is not stealing. He sets on"
eggs of imagination from day to day,
and hatches new ideas and schemes
which permit him to get stuff that
other folks have worked for.
It is not right" (perhaps) to judge
a man by ^is debt-paying proclivities,
hut if he pays hisohonesjl dejjts,
his credit is always good, ami his
standing among the church folk and
business houses is generally A-l. A
dead-beat is a mighty poor excuse for
a human being.
* A dead-bent love i a Job like a cat
loves a dog. He can give more
reasons for not working than a boll
weevil has grandchildren. He can
dodge his creditors with the same
agility that a humming bird dodges
a sparrow hawk. He works hie wife
and younguna like Nero worked the
galley slaves, and they gefc as much
of their own wages as a hen gets of
the egg's she lays.
The average dead-beat is always
glad to see the merchant or the bank
which he owes go broke, yet he never
claims credit for helping them on
toward bankruptcy. When he geta
j sick himself, he hollers for a doctor
which he never pays when he gets
well. And when he gets "real low,"
he sends for tho preacher (to come
and pray for him) that would have
starved to death had all his members
been like him, and when he is packed
avay in "peaceful sleep" by an undertaker,
ho leaves nothing but a bad
reputation?which the undertaker
can't deposit in a bunk.
All men who don't pay their debts
are not dead-beats. There are
thousands upon thousands of honest
fclks that can't pay what they owe,
-.ad when they have tried faithfully
and have failed, their debts should bo
forgiven them. Hut a common, everyday
dend-bent that parasites on tho
people with whom he comes in contact
ought to have the 7-year itch all
the duys of his life.

In theirown words, bytheir marked

tens of thousands are telling us the
Greater Hudson is truly the greatest

Voting in every Hudson salesroom
in the country, these enthusiastic
multitudes have piled up the most

\ history. Perhaps even more important,
they have botight these
beautiful new Hudsons in such
numbers that \ve must make thousands
-more^ of them to insure
prompt delivery.
Every experience and suggestion of
the world's largest 6-cylinder ownership
is incorporated in the 64 improvements
of the Greater Hudson.
As co-authors of these creations the
1,000,000 Super-Six owners are na?-:.-r===
turally first to want to see, inspect
and drive them. It is particularly
interesting to observe their special
satisfaction in the numerous body
