Mrs. A. A. Lemon is county chair man of this work, Perry A. Price, of Barnwell, treasurer, and J. A. Lati mer. of Williston, publicity chairman. The following head the work in the various sections of the county: Barnwell, Mrs. A. A. Lemon; Black- viile, Mrs. Heffernon Buist; Williston, Mrs. W. C. Smith, Sr.; Kline, Victor Lewis; Dunbarton, H. H. King; Elko, Rev. J. S. M Finch. The papers of the county last week as well as the dailies circulating in this section, carried an interesting story regarding the work of the tuber- culo-is clinic ir Barnwell Countv. Splendid educational work along ♦his, line is being carried on looking for ward to a clinic next Fall. To render this‘possible the citizens of Barnwell .County are asked to purchase 50,000 seals .at one, cent each. They mako 1 n ire dorqrtitm'-- a re uml Christmas 4tmer- and show that the sender of the pack- * age is interested in one of the great est fights of the time—the complete eradication of the white plague. When it is considered that 25 per cent of all deaths between 20 and 40 years of age are due to tuberculosis and one out of every eleven deaths in South arolina is caused by this plague, no one should hesitate to buy lots of seals, as every penny derived from the sale of these seals goes to fight the white plague. The chances of recovery for a tuber culosis patient who has sanitarium treatment are 5 to 1 over the one who does not have hospital care. Buy Chri-tmas Seals and help give every sufferer a chance to get the best of treatment. Barnwell County Is indeed fortun ate to have Mrs. A. A.
