If Dr. Friedench Franz Fnendmann,
tho German phytic an. can make good
h:s claim of having discovered a cure
for tubereulrs.s, rthe great white
plague," all mankind will rise up and
call him leased and acclaim him the
greateit benefactor of the times.
For year* physician* have been
searching for a cure for this curse on
humanity and although a prize of many
thousands of dollars has been hung up
for the discoverer of a successful cure,
no one has yet been able to claim it
Dr. Fnendmann has In-en demonstrat
ing his treatment in Canada and is ex
pected to hold a-CUmc at Bellevue* Hos--*
pita!, New York, some time during
the present week, at which 20 to 00
tuberculosis sufferers, patients at the
institution, will be awaiting him. It
was reported last week that remark
able improvement had been noted in
one of the patients treated bv Friend-
mann when he made his first demon
stration in this country.
Here’s hoping that he has found a cue.
Mr. Holman'* Resignation.
In another column of this week's is
sue of The People we publish the res
ignation of Mayor R. C. Holman. We
are sorry that he has resigned, but
fully appreciate his position. Under
the circumstances, We believe that he
has done the right thing. It became
with him a question of either attend
ing to the business of his law practice
at the expense of the town's affairs or
performing the duties of Mayor by neg
lecting his practice. He could hardly
be expected to give up his large law-
practice for the small salary that the of
fice pays, therefore, only one course
was open to him.
Given the time, he would make ah
excellent official. With his experience
in the higher courts, he was enabled to
get at the truth in the trial of ewes be
fore the municipal court. We repeat that
we are sorry that he ha* resigned, but
approve of the manly, itraightforward
courae he ha* taken. Seeing that he
had made a mistake in accepting the
office, he was man enough to acknow*
ledge it.
One concern in Columbia proposes
to put up 17 stores at once and in dif
ferent parts of the city. That's what
Anderson needs—more stores and
more dwellings to rent. —Anderson
Mail.
The city ot Anderson may need more
stores and dwellings to rent, but what
the county of Anderson, in common
with Barnwell and a great many other
counties in the State, needs is fewer
people in the towns and more in the
country. F.verytime a family moves
from the country to rent a store and
dwelling in town it tends to increase
the already high cost of living just so
much, for instead of being producers
they become consumers.
What has become of the “back-to-
the-land" mov e ment of yesteryear any
way '
Hmate Make* Waste.
The truth of the old saying “haste
makes waste" was proven again last
week. A number of farmers in this
county had already begun planting
corn, and several farmer friends told
us Saturday that the seed would prob
able be ruined bv the heavv rains of
r *
last week, making it necessary to re
plant in order to get a “stand "
Not long ago a farmer, w ho lives not
many miles from Barnwell, told us that
he used to plant corn very early
in March, but experience had taught
him that later plantings paid better
The seasons, bethinks, lave i hanged
Better go slow It is easier to adapt
the plantings to the »caaoni than the
sersons to the plantings.
Worn th* Children
In a short while the flectri' - current
for lighting the town will be turned on
It would well to adv ;se the rhbdn n
of Barnwell to be vt-rv tareful alsout
touching wires < •< ca<>ional!v a wire
break* and cause* instant death to
some unsuspecting fn-rv n Never
touch * wire hanging from a (>«''• no
matter how innocent it mav look
It might be well also for the li»cal
teachers to give their pupils ‘hurt lec
ture* on the rmstrne* of dec tncit)
I have read your editorials and ap
prove of the stand sou are taking for
law and order, and the f>eopie of the
town and countv should give vou their
moral and financial support, ' said an
rateemed subscriber to us last week.
This week the milliner* of Barnwell
are holding their Spring opening* of
hat* and other feminine finery On
the fir*t of the month the owning of
the pocketbook or checkbook of the
head of the fawnly will take place.
