L It is generally believed that ther fire which destroyed the residence of Mr: J. W. Price Sunday could have *-. been easily extinguished had there a been water accessible. With nearly fl all of the strong fire insurance com- b< paines now out of the State it is 1S ? I ir probably going to be very difficult to secure all of the reliable insurance a< > that will be necessary to protect the ls property of Bamberg. Let us, then, I at least have proper fire protection. " , Cast your ballot in favor of the water )l bonds. I? Every now and then the Yorkville jfc; Enquirer takes a shot at the news- A |: papers of the State for the practice p A on their part of using their, editorial c< fe columns for personal jibes and jokes. a] h > The point of the Enquirer is well 1E taken, it seems to us. According to C1 I L I - our opinion, a newspaper should 11 never print anything as news or edi- ^ torial except that which is of inter- te est to at least a portion of its read- pi ers.' If one editor wishes tox tell another editor something, the best w method would be tQ write a letter. ^ But then it would not be "copied and 113 * i commented on" by the contemporaries> ^ If you are convinced of the fact 4C r that the county-to-county campaign n< Bfc circus is a farce and ought to be stop- iD . ped, introduce a resolution in your s> ' club meeting next Saturday, instruct- as ing the delegates %o the county convention to vote /for delegates to the jtv State convention who will vote w -t against the continuance, of the pres- st ent plan of campaigning. Bear in 0f mind that if you ever wish to run for p( a State 'office, it will cost you at least fC a thousand dollars to tour the State gj with the campaign party. For the te same money you could send out one sx p,: hundred thousand circulars, and Vj reach several times as many voters gj as you would by speaking at the P( - county meetings. ai s pe The Democratic club meetings will be held next Saturday. The Colum- w bia State suggests that every club , E ir 1--.; J pass a resoiuuon euuoxsiu.g mo emI - ministration of Woodrow Wilson, and e( J instructing its delegates to the coun|??fv ty convention to vote for delegates in ' favor of his renomination. We feel ^ sure^that every club in South Caro- .. gBR*v~ , til lina would pass such a resolution if offered. Let every club chairman see that a resolution of this kind is introduced. South Carolina was large- w |pv / ly responsible for the nomination of i Wilson four years ago. There is cer- j ^ f ? tainly no cause for regret regarding; ^ the part this State had in bringing j forth Wilson. Let everybody now . m stand firm and unanimously for the I fife' si continuance of the present adminis- ^ || tration; ly They say the people do not "send j* in things" to the editors like they i1 used to do in the good old days; but ir that is an error. Some of the people continue to send in things?lots and j - ? ? 1. ? au DD . - coras 01 eui; sucn as uie.y aic. x ui j instance, the Observer got two pages : n: of movie plates and reading stuff the ' h other day from a film company, with n ?the permission to use any, or all, of , it if we wished. j And there are just oodles of other d things sent in pretty much of the tl same sort; which the editor can print in his paper 'free. i ? The only trouble about that sort of thing is it doesn't buy the baby any S new shoes.?Newberry Observer. i n Evidently the Observer is on the n same "circuit" for free matter as The a Herald. Despite the fact that we b have never been guilty of printing the rot of this nature that is sent us b for gratuitous publication, it has not n served to diminish the volume of free U advertising matter that we continue b to receive.

I I GUARD OVER WOMAN LEPER. I j I >olated From Humanity Except forjl Her Husband, Who Waits on Her. I Columbia, April 14.?Confined in I house near McCormick, isolated [ 'om humanity except for her hus- I and, and kept under shotgun guard, ; a negro woman leper. She is kept! i one room of the house and in the fljoining room is her husband, who i waiting on her. The county ofcials furnish the leper and her husand with supplies, and there she is i lonely confinement, as completely iolated as if she were on one of the lands of the South Sea. The negro woman was sent from bbeville county to the State Hosital for the Insane, supposedly beluse she was insane. When she * t [ rived at. the State hospital Superitendent Williams noticed the pellarity of the skin, disease and ad her isolated for examinaon. Several examinations and ;sts were made, and finally the hosital authorities called in Dr. Lynch, f the State Medical College staff, ho was doing some research work t the State hospital, and after a' iost careful and painstaking exam-1 tation and investigation the woman1 as pronounced a leper. Immediate' the officials of the State Hospital _ >r the Insane notified the board of i E galth that the negro woman was not1 isane, but was suffering from lepror, and that they could not keep her, i ^ ? she was not insane. Could Not Go on Train. The question then arose as to hat to do with the negro woman, i iffering from a fully developed case fn ' leprosy. She could not be trans- _ i nit )f-ted back to Abbeville on the train,! r.there is a special rule of the' ;ate board of health forbidding the t a. II ansportation on trains of people Eg iffering with leprosy. The Abbe- le? lie authorities were consulted, and 1 tiQ lally it was determined to trans | olc >rt the woman back to her home by j ltomobile. It is said that the su-! QO ' ub jrvisor of Abbeville arranged for an i ^0I ltomobile, and in this the woman j ga as carried back through the coun-j ou y to her home and there confined j c^e an isolated house, closely guard1 day and night. It is said her taj jsband lives in the adjoining room ya. i his wife and waits on her, and iat the guards place supplies foi tem at convenient points, which are j0T >tten by the husband, who is caring ^T{ itirely for the wants of his wife. ou It is said that the automobile in ^ hich the negro woman was taken' C01 om here to Abbeville county was an lrned along with the clothes worn / the men who took her back. 0f Abbeville county has been guard- th< Lg the woman and furnishing the gr( lpplies, it is said, but now the bur- pr( 3n will be transferred to the new- co] ' formed county of McCormick, for is said that the woman is confined fa] t a house in that section and with- | ( l the bounds of the new county. tic Jt was on the first of the present jn( lonth that the woman leper was reloved from the State hospital to th< er home in McCormick county. The ev ews of this situation first reached foi le ears of this correspondent some Sei ays ago, but it was only today that ab le fact? were confirmed sufficiently mj ) justify publication/ Dr. C. Fred at Williams, superintendent of the gii tate Hospital for the Insane this iy lorning admitted the fact that the de egro woman had been pronounced en leper and taken back by automo- so ile to her former home. in< It is said that the people of Abeville and McCormick counties are be luch concerned over the fact that a ro >per is in their section, but every- sp ody has manifested a reluctance to Ni liking about the case. i K ft Ifar1" f-'w-niw Extraordinary Values in Voiles 40-inch voiles in all the desira- Ever; ble stripes and floral designs; al- partmei so combination floral and stripes. summei Beautiful patterns and dependa- PVPT1 ble quality at 25c the yard.
