Keen regret 1i tieard from all sections
of the atate that an Injunction'
bus been granted io certain Spartanburg
citizen* through their attorneys
to thwart the sal? of bond* for ?tntewlde
road building. Coming at u
time when ho many people are unemployed,
it ia all the more to be
deplored.
Many people have*the idea that this
appeal to the United State* Court
would hold UP the proponed hurd-aurfacing
from Camden to the I^ee county
line, but The Chronicle ia glad to
v nay that we are assured by the legi*lative
delegation and the Kerahaw
County Board of Directors that such
is. not the case, and that surveyors
are now at work on thia proposed
hard-surfacing and the work will commence
the first part of the year.
To Have Christmas Pageant
There will be a Christmas pageant,
"Light of the - World," at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday evening,
December 22nd, at 6:00 o'clock.
The contribution will be for ministerial
relief.
Everybody is cordially invited to
attend this Christmas service,
- .
(live ChrlstmitH Parties
There are two achools in the county,
one on the Lockhart road, and one
on the road to Liberty Hill, each having
only one teacher and fifteen children,
and some of these children h?vve
never been to a Christinas party,
The Junior Welfare Workers are
going to give each of these schools
a real Christmas party the day before
their holidays begin. There will
be good things to eat, games will be
played and a Christmas present for
each one of the children. And when
the Junior Welfare Workers give a
party it is sure to be a good one.

Radium Poisoning
Fatal To Woman
#
New York, December 8th.?An autQpsy
today established that r*radium
poisoning was a contributory cause
of the death of Mrs. Quinta McDonald,
Orange, N. J., one of five
women poisoned by radium in a New
Jersey factory several years ago.
Mrs. McDonald, the mother of two
children, died yesterday at Memorial
hospital, where she had been a patient
JO weeks. She and the four other
women were poisoned by useing their
lips to paint brushes with which they
painted luminous watch dials.
The autopsy was performed by Dr.
Harrison S. Martland, chief medical
examiner of Essex county, N. J., and
was witnessed by Dr. Charles A.
N'orris, chief medical examine)- of
New York City, and other physicians
of city departments. The findings
were described as one of the greatest
scientific interest.
The official report of the autopsy
disclosed that. deatfi was due to
"sarcoma of the pelvis with tumor
metatastases (shifting or translation
of a disease from one part or
from one organ to another) in lungliver
and typical mesorthorium or
radium ostitis of femur and spinal
column."
I he contributory cause was stated
as "radium poisoning, an occupational
disease."
It was learned that the next step
will be for Dr. Alexander Cottier,
city toxicologist, to extract the radium
exanations from the bones,
teeth, viscera and tumor mass.
Mrs. McDonald's normal weigh*
was reported as 140 pounds and at
the time of her death it was said sheweighed
only 77 pounds.
Mrs. McDonald had 'been employed
In the New Jersey factory of the
U. S. Radium corporation and
painted the faces of watch dials with
luminous paint containing a small
quanity of radium. She and the other
(jfour women sued the corporation for
an aggregate of $1,250,000 and in a
ou^ court each receiv.
ed ^0,000 and cost of medical attention.
