This annourncoment marks the beginning of the operation of the orphanage for the building of which Mr. Oroaawell left an endowment some years ago, Dr. t^uattlebaum has been for four years the rtuj>erinteiHJeirt of tlve Cairo* Ima Orphan Home in Columbia, uihI has come well recommended and well qualified for his work.

The lionu- is nonrlcnominational, and wide the rules and regulations for I he admission of children have not been worked out in their entirety, the white orphan children of Sumter . ounty wiil be cared for under the terms of Mr. Cross we 11'a will. A board of five trustees, which is -elf-perpetuating, governs the orpha rage and looks after its business affairs. Mr. Crosswell appointed J. H. Strong, C. H. Yeadon. H. It. Brunei* xnd unrjer the authority of the will these gentlemen selected C. C. Kowand and John J. Itiley, two outstanding citizens of Sumter eooroby, to ?erve with them. The trustees purchased a site of ?ne hundred acres on North Main , ftroet, lying partly within and i?artly vithout the city. The buildings are practically fireproof, Ihmng constructed of hollow die with brick veneer, and having isbestos roofs. They apct^one story, ind their plan ombQ^es the most practical ideas joined from the experience of leading orphanage men throughout the country. The donor of this wonderful institution was long a resident of Sumter ounty. John Kennedy Crosswell was born at Cypress in Darlington county. October 1X70, the son of Jonn Kichard-on an-d Safari Wright Crosswell. He died May and rests in the Sumter cemetery. He was educated in the Darlington county schools and through his own efforts attended WofYoid College. In later life he travelled extensively, and was a man of wide knowledge and personal charm. Mr. Crosswell first came to Sumter as a young man ami clerked in the grocery store of his cousin, Wentworth Crosswell, on the corner of Main and Liberty streets, where Model lan's store now stands. When Mr. Wontworth Crosswell diod, Mr. ('rosswell and his brother, Henry D. Crosswell. purchased the business and operated it for a number of years. From this business they developed in 11*01 the wholesale firm of Crosswell & Company. At the same time Mr. Crosswell was interested in the grocery business in Sumter, he travelled for R. C. Williams & Company of New York. , Mr. Crosswell at the time of his death was president of II. I). & J. I K. Crosswell. Incorporated, of Columbia: president of Crosswell & Company.

J M t tosswt?l 1 lei l i he 1>n 1 k of his i estate for the building and operation! of the J.?hn K. Crosswell Home. His! \\:.l was a most liberal one. an<l in! egar?l to the orphanage he states: "My trustees shall hold my estate r^grrhpT and have i? accumulate, by managing it according to their best judgment, until such time as the p? incipa! and the accumulated interest shall be sufficient t to ortvt and maintain a suitable building or building near the city of Sumter for the purpose of caring for children as herein directed: When the estate shall have reached such proportions that, in the! judgment of my trustees, they can' build an institution of a suitable size, j they .shall erect such an institution] near Sumter ami shall suitably equip! it. They shall name two discreet |H?rsor.s to act as trustees with them, .making the number live. This in.-ti-1 j tut ion shall bo known as the John K. | ( rosswell Home, and my trustees! j shall admit into it white children on-1 i ly. ami they shall first admit to its! capacity within the means <.f my os- ' l tate, children who are orphans.

Phis home shall l>e erected and maintained in Sumter county, and preferably near t he City of Surntt r. My trustees shall tirst care for children. as al>ove provided, who shall I*> taken from Sumter county and city This us t.he primary objtvt of the home. Should my means warrant it. however, and should my trustees see tit to do so, they may take children answering to the foregoing classes from other counties in South Carolina, first providing for children in counties adjoining Sumter county. Should my estate warrant it, the home shall be enlarged in accordance with the means of my estate as to making such enlargement and maintaining inmates. It may bo, and I hope that such will happen, that other persons may donate sums toward keeping up t.h;< ; institution, and if so, then my trus tees will ? :.large, and take in such children as such enlargement may warrant. .Moral and religious training must be given ill the home in Sumter, and this must be loft to the discretion of my t: u.-tees exvopt that 1 do not desire that it be in any sense a denominational institution. It is my object to do the greatest good to the greatest number of people who may become beneficiaries of my means, and to make thorn broader and bettor citizens." The date for the formal opening of the Home, to which the public will bo invited, will be anmouncod in the near future. 1 Camden Artist Sells Painting yf wide interest in the state is the news from New York City that Miss A<kle Savage, of Camden, who is. now completing her third year at the Fine Arts School in Uo?ton, has sold one of her more recent painting* to Ronald Kirkbride, assistant editor of Story Magazine. Mr. Kirkbride will l>e remembered in Camden as a former winter resident and as co-author with Dixie Boykin, of the southern novel, "Dark Burrendter," published in 1933 and appropriately illustrated by Miss Savage with exquisite pencil sketches of various aspects of negro life. It was perhaps these ,?kertches which just proved to the public Miss Savage's (yory real talent for depleting scenes from her own native south ?especially those -portraying the negro at work in the cotton field or at rest in his white-washed cabin. The canvas purchased by Mr. Kirkbride is one of several of Mias Savage's paintings which have for the past few months been exhibited on the walls of Dixie Boykin's club outside of Camden. Here the artist has painted with skill and understanding one of the gray-white negro cabins so familiar to Southerners, enlivened by (the dusky figures in the foreground. The picture is remarkable for draftsmanship, color tones, and artistic insight and is a particularly happy choice for one who, like Mr. Kirkbride knows and appreciates the life it syrrvlnjlizes. "The Cabin," as it is entitled, is going north to be hung .on the walls of Mr. Kirkbride's 57th Street Point House, where it may bring to the many artists and writers who visit there the warmth and color of the South.

Diphtheria Immunization Progresses Up to date over 7(X> children of Km ahaw county have been protected against diphtheria through Red Oroso Clmios. If your ehild w under school age lie needs protection against diphtheria more than older ones. Severity per cent of the deaths from diphtheria occur in children under three yeara of age. The immunization treatment consist of a single injection of a very small quantity of toxoid, a substance which protects against diphtheria. The tixiatment is simple and perfectly harmless wihen it is pj-operly administered. If used everywhere it will eventually wijxj out diphtheria, one of the most dangerous diseases of childhood. The people of Kershaw County are urged to take time U> give all children between ages of six months and six years the toxoid treatment, at the clinic nearest you.
