From Miss Kimbrell
Since coming into your county as
Executive Secretary of tho Kershaw
County Tuberculosis Association,
which is uffllialod with the Statq Tuberculosis
Association, 1 have met
with a moat cordial reception in my
work from all agencies, both white
and colored. Tho cooperation of the
i'hyslcians, Masons, Rod Cross, Junior
Welfare League. Social Welfare
Workers in Government Relief Work,
Barents, Teachers, Pupils, Trustees,
the Press and Individuals have been
most helpful.
1 wish to stress the thorough spirit
of neighborllness which bus been
shown since I have been making a
survey of the county. Wherever
there bus been signs of suspicions of
infections of the "White I'lague" 1
have found a most profound neighborlineBs
throughout the county to protect
others against the spread of this I
disease.
As a result of my efforts which has
carried me into all sections of Kershaw
county I respectfully ask to submit
a partial report of tho work that
I have accomplished during my three
months stay in this county.

Otherwise the good beginning will go
for naught.? tSigned) Mary Kimbrell.
Benefits Of Campaign
In any undertaking or enterprise it
is splendid business to ask what will
be the cost involved and what benefits
or protlt will result. The amount
of money secured from the sale of
Christmas Seals and Health Bonds in
was |5f>0.00, or a per capita cost
of 1 1-2 cents for the population oi !
Kershaw couTtty. The amount requested
in the 1925 drive is or an
aveiage of 0 1-4 cents per individual.
This is the price of a_ cheap cigur.
or a cold drink'or many other articles
which any bod> could easily afford
to sacrifice just unco in a year.
in l'Jii-t funds was used to put on I
an intensive program tor n three!
months period in the fight against tu-j
hereulosis itt JvkNiaw county. t his j
program consisted chiefly in locating!
new cases by a specially trained work-'
er. The line of procedure was to give!
about 1,500 high school children, both,
white and colored, the tuberculin skin1
test, then by noting the positive re
action, the source of contact could
usually be traced. In this manner,
several new, as well sh old oases,
received personal visits where Instructions,
both oral and printed were
given. These Instructions Included i
advice as to the personal care of the
patient and as to the method and
means of prevention of the spread of
the diseaae to other members of the
family. No doubt, as a result of only
three months of work, the number of
deaths in Kershaw county from tuberculoma
will be reduced from the
appalling number of 35 for the next
Jour. Therefore, it may euaily be
aoen that a twelve month olTort would
bo rewarded with much more gratifying
roHultn and any sound thinking
person should contribute liberally and
also encourage others to do likewise.
Generally speaking the public are to,
a certain degree "tuberculosis-minded,"
as is shown by tho vast numbor.
or requests coming from almost every
section of the county. These requests
vury In many particulars, yet the end
sought is to help control and prevent
the dreaded disease.
Much time and money is spent unnually
against typhoid fever and
small pox, both of which have ceased
.to bo a major public health problem,
yet only a few paltry dollars are available
to light a menace that takes
more lives between ages 18 to 45 than
any other contagious disease.
Let us all wake up to the seriousness
of the situation and assume our
share of the responsibility in the joint
effort to change this state of affairs.?
A. VV. Humphries, Md.
From Mr. Goodyear
Keulizing the seriousness of the
great "White Plague," which is so
prevalent in our county and state we
the teachers of Kershaw county,
should feel a dlroct responsibility in
the anti tuberculosis campaign that is
being made at this time. 1 feel that
we are directly connected and associated
with more homes than any other
organizations In the county and
therefore, should take a very active
part in making this drive a successtul
one. When we realize that we
have been at least in part, responsible
for a special nurse in this county
to put over the Job by tho sule or
Christmas Seals and that those funds
will have been expended in early* December,
which necessarily means that
her services will be discontinued unless
additional funds are raised. We
should be spurred cm all the more in
order that this work may be a permanent
part of the health unit of Kershaw
county. -It seems'that we might
reach almost 100 per cent participation
In iliis campaign, by both teachers
and pupils before our Christmas
holiday season begins. Let's encourage
whatever contributions that may
be made, whether it be largo or small.

The physicians of Kershaw county.
being mindful of the welfare of
the public, gladly endorse tho movement
now in progress for the sale
of Christmas Seals and Health Bonds.
The funds thus secured will bo used
to carry on the tight against tuberculosis

difficult to think of a more worthy
cause to sponsor and It Is well within
the line of service to urge that even
one contribute liberally during this
campaign. Medical science has not
attained the zenith of its ambition,
that of discovering a cure for the
disease and since the control and prevention
of it depeuds entirely on education
of tho public, this program
should bo fully encouraged by every
one lor the common good. In reftltty

From Mrs..Watts 1
There was a time when the Three
Ii'a met every requirement for a good
school, and there was little need for
community problems, but the march
of civilization, the great increase in
world population and the many phases' of
closer human contacts have made
It necesHary for the present day school
not only to emphasize the Three R's,
but to develop a program of health,
citizenship, and the many other attitudes
of right living. Of all these
the most important and most essential,
is a Health Program for every child,
every school and every community.
Well people are happy, efficient and
contented people. A nation will beas
strong us its people are well and
strong and thuy It is most fitting that
at this time we are invited to parttctpate
in a nation wide campaign, which
alius to teach our children Lo be a
good neighbor and that they will have
an opportunity to share whatever they
may huvo with some ono else less
fortunate- and that the bright little
( hristmas Seal carries a promise that
their own health will be safeguarded
as well as the neighbors.

depository clerks, said they were
forced into the vault at the poluta Of
pistols with a negro customer who
entered the institution shortly after
it opened.
Hteadman said the shorter of the
two unmasked white robbers thrust
a gun into his "ribs and demanded
ine cash, saying he understood tb? do*

$10,000 on hand.
lie said he flrst agreed, maintain*
ing the - bank had not done much

but finully gave directions for getting
the money when threatened.
The robbers locked the three In
the vault and found bonds and $000 in
silver, he reported, but did not succeed
in locating the currency on hand.
\V. I,, iirannon, cuahier of the depository,
came in a few minutes ufter
the robbers slipped out ami released
the trio when they beat on the vault
door.
A lllling station operator described
the hbjdup car as a black (Ford)
coach of a recent model.
Bteadmuft said the puir went about
their work leisurely but firmly.
"Miss Allen and I were in the
bank," he said, "and 1 had put some
bonds and' money in my cag^, leaving
most of the bank's funds In the
vault. I loft my cage, opened the
front door of the bank, and walked
back to my cage and just as 1 got
there 1 discovered one of the robbers
at my side. He must have followed
me In through the front door.
"He said?*' 'Put up your hands and
stuck a pistol In my ribs. I put up
my hands and called to Miss Allen
to 'come on.' She hadn't seen the
man yet, but she turned and started
to raise her hands. The robber told
her she needn't raise her hands. Then
he took us to an office and locked us
up. In a minute, the Janitor came
up stairs and he also was locked in
the office.
"Then the robber took us lrom the
office und the second one came in
the bank. They argued over whether
to lock us in the vault and finally
they did.
"Mr. Brannon came in about a minute
after the two robbers bad gone

Steadman said one of the men was
a "nice-looking fellow but the other
seemed a typical tough."
Two children ate Ice cream at a

set hOoks In Little Pee Dee river.
Fine $50 and cost. ThiB community

When' one sportsman complained
about not being able to catch any
bass, this remark greeted him: "No
wonder you can't catch 'em when he's
in my trap."
An active game and fish chapter of
organized sportsmen certainly helps
