The temperance reformer was just- <
[ Iy proud of having converted the big- <
gest drunkaTd in a Scottish town and
induced him?he was the local grave 1
digger?to get up on the platform 1
and testify. This is how he did it: <
- "My friends," he said. "I never 1
thocht to stand upon the platform
with the provost on one side of me
and toon clerk on the ither side of
me. I never thocht to tell ye that for
a whole month I've not touched a
drop of anything. I've saved enough
to buy me a braw oak coffin wi' brass
handles and brass nails, and if Im a :
teetotaller for anither month I shall 1
be wantin' it."
His Backing.

A Chicago woman engaged in chari- '

"Have you any source of income?'' <
she asked during the course of their :
talk.
Whereupon he replied: "Madam, if

richest county in the state."

GOVERNOR ON TAX MATTER.
Favorable to All Necessary Expenditures
in State.
Columbia, Dec. 30.?No recomnenaation
of appropriations which
.vill impair the progress of'the state
n matters of education, good roads,
tealtli and sanitation, and those
hings which increase the morale of
he people will be made by him, said
jovernor Cooper-today, in a letter to
Valter B. Wilbur, an attorney and fitancier
of Charleston. The expression
)f the executive was in answer to a
etter from Mr. Wilbur, in which the
atter says he is fearful that the reported
retrenchments of the Budget
commission will strike at something
rital in the structure of the state government^and.
will retard progress.
Mr. Wilbur, in his letter, dated Dec.
27, fears that "in any programme
>f retrenchment sacrifices will be
made of some of the activities the
ralue of which is not properly appreciated,
but which activities constitute
:he most vital and constructive work
:he state is doing." and concludes
;hat it is much more important icy
nterpret the state's progress and con-j
:inue to move forward, than to save
:ome money by admitting the dispensibility
of any of the institutions the
state- now has or ought to have.
Admitting that there possibly are
measures of economy which could be
;aken along progressive lines to save
;he taxpayers money. Mr. Wilbur
;akes the position that he can only
emphasize the general proposition
:hat whatever money we spend in adrancing
the general well-heing of the
state is equalizing opportunity, in
promoting public health, in facilitatng
transportation, and is strengthening
the morale of our people, is
economically spent."
i i
Stating tnat any, persuii Kuumug
he condition of the state must realize
hat there is an absolute necessity
>f "a programme of strict economy"
ind any expediture which is not irnlerative
must be deferred for the
iresent.
The governor's lefter, written yeserday,
says:
"I am in receipt of your favor of
he 27th instant.
"The formal statement which I
lave made with reference to the state
mdget for 1921 was given to the
)ress several days ago. I think every
jerson who is familiar with condiions
in the state realizes the absolute
lecessity of a programme of strict
;conomy and that we should deter,
or the present, any expenditures
vhich is not imperative. If you have
rotten the impression, however, from
my statement attributed to me that
would favor retrenchment to the
extent of injuring any institution or
iepartment of the state government,
>r retarding in any way the substanial
progress made in the matter of
?ood roads, health and sanitation,
education and in the reform of our
>enal and corrective institutions, such
mpression is an erroneous one. I
feel, however, that we can defer, for
i time, such matters as permanent
mprovement and expansion of many
ictivities without doing them serious
njury.
"In the matter of good roads, pubic
health work and education# I fully
igree with your view. It may be posible
to reduce appropriations on some
)f these items, but I shall never consent
to the adoption of any policy
vhich will hinder a continual and!
i
jontinuous advance along these lines, j
[f there was ever a time in the his;ory
of the state when we could not
ifford to neglect our educational inerests.
that time is now.
"I expect to discuss these matters
n detail when the legislature convenes,
and I am satisfied, when you
tnow my position fully, you will see
hat the economies and retrenchments
vhich I will suggest will be consistent
with the policy of progress and
ievelopment.
I
"I wish to thank you very much
mr your letter. I only wish that we
aad more men who felt as you do
md who would express their convictions
as you have."

Burglar With a Heart.
Chicago, Dec. 22.?A Christmas
burglar "with a heart" heeded the
plea of Ruth Mailev, aged 10, not
to take her Christmas present, when
she found him in her home yesterday
on her return from school for
lunch.
The burglar was eating her lunch,
which had been left by her mother,
before going down town shopping.'
He took her to the parlor and played
little jingles and Christmas songs
an the piano for her.
When she told him she would
have to return to school he said:
"Tell your mother I'll return some
day and steal everything in the
house." but he left without taking
anything.

j Case of Dr. Hell, of MeCormiek, Interesting.
Columbia. Dec. 30.?Physicians
over the state are especially interested
in an opinion recently handed
down by the supreme court in which
the court holds that a doctor who uses
j his best- medical knowledge in a case,
yet it is discovered later that his
diagnosis was incorrect, is not liable
I for damages from the patient. This
opinion, of course, only applies to
physicians, who, in the opinion of
the court, have put forth their best
efforts to determine the trouble with
j the patient.
The case in question arose in MeCormiek
countv, when J. T. Dillishaw
i
and -his wife brought suit against Dr.
D. A. J. Bell to recover damages for
the alleged failure of Dr. Bell to
properly perform his duties to Airs.
Dillishaw.
Facts from the opinion handed down
by the supreme court show that Mrs.
Dillishaw is the mother of several
children, and in arising from her
bed on the night of October 26, 1917,
to attend-to one of the children sue
sustained an injury to one of her
knees. Dr. Bell was called in to attend
Mrs. Dillishaw, and after a hurried
examination found the injury
too painful and complicated to deter-j
mine at once the exact extent of the
wound. He wanted to make a thorough
examination and returned to
his home to obtain an anaesthetic so
he could examine the injury closely.
The doctor obtained the anaesthetic
and returned to the Dillishaw home,
accompanied by Dr. Mattison. Both
these physicians diagnosed the injury
I as a torn muscle and bandaged it as
such. Dr. Bell then treated the knee
injury as that of a torn muscle. The
wound did not heal after some time
had elapsed and Dr. Fuller was called
up by the family. He dignosed the
injury as a broken knee cap or patella.
Dr. Fuller called in Dr. Neel
and the latter was doubtful as to the
exact nature of the injury. Later an
X-ray was made of the injury and
this determined beyond question that
the knee cap was broken and that
Dr. Fuller was correct in his diagnosis.
An operation was then performed
and the knee healed. In tie meantime
Dr. Bell quit the case after
another physician had oeen canea in.
Mr. and Mrs. Dillishaw brought suit
against Dr. Bell and a verdict was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff by
the circuit court. Dr. Bell moved for
a nonsuit and a directed verdict in his
favor. Judge Prince refused both
these motions. Dr. Bell then appealed
to the supreme court and this higher
tribunal has reversed the lower court.
The high court says that a verdict
should have been directed in favor
of the defendant. Dr. Bell.
In discussing the case, the court
says that the two main points were
whether or not Dr. Bell had been negligent
in making the diagnosis and
whether or not he had been negligent
in treating the injury. The court says
that the evidence shows that Dr.
Bell was not negilenf in either instance
and could not have been held
to blame for the wrong diagnosis and
possible wrong treatment of the injury.
In Siam many women are employed
in army workshops, in factories, and
on the railways and roads, where
they are paid the same rates as men
for equal labor.
